Red Erases Blast Claim MOSCOW (L'PI)-Russia's lead, ing nuclear-blast expert today ef fectively retracted the Soviet charge that the United Slates has been conducting underground nu clear tests. Prof. E. K. Fcdorov, chief So-! vint delegate to the Geneva nuclear-test talks, said the U.S. un derground bla.-ls mentioned Wednesday by the Communist or gan Pravda were "chemical ex plosions simulating nuclear explo sions." Federov's clarification was a passing remark in a statement that was generally critical of the U.S. stand on detection of under ground nuclear tests. In Manchester, F.ngland, the Guardian reported receiving a tel ephone call from a Pravda editor in London saying that Wednes day's story should not be inter preted as an accusation against the United Stales.) Federov said Soviet experts be lieve the U.S. observations on un- lerground explosions "will defi nitely be significant in the work of nuclear( control system," but added that they "categorically re ject" U.S. treatment of the data. "Having discovered various er rors and sometimes advisedly in correct propositions in the Ameri can statements and documents, Soviet experts on the basis of the same factual material in some ckscs reached different conclu sions," he said.

Car-crazy Britons take the road in snazzy Cilrocns from France. Christmas tables in Germany are piled with the products of a dozen countries. That's a representative picture as booming Western Europe marches confidently into the new decade, more than ever a family despite occasional squabbles. From country after country the year-end report is one of boom, with more prosperity expected. Except in Italy, unemployment is negligible. For Italy it is an old, old problem, and the govern ment is enticing northern industry to the impoverished south to help multcrs. Only in Belgium, ovcr-depciulenl on coal exports which few coun tries now want to buy, was I he past year less then booming. Even there the recovery prospects are bright. Paradoxically, the rival trade blocs which threaten to split west Europe s economy may actually help to unite it. The year saw West Germany, FKKAK FATALITY CLINTON, Mi,h. lUPD-Alfred Hack. 58.

Marriages Last Longer CHICAGO' (UPI) The aver age modern marriage is lasting lor-gcr . . . and lasting better. Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed can expect 43 years of wedded bliss or battle until death do they part, three census experts told the American Association for the Advancement of Science Wednes day. This altar-to-grave span is 12 years longer than the 31 years grandma and grandpa could ex pect to live after their turn-of- the-century marriage. By 1980, the census men said, the average couple can expect to celebrate Iheir 47th wedding an niversary . before either the hus band or wife is taken by death. But today s newlyweds are a brave lot. Even when faced with 43 years of togetherness, they are averaging only one divorce four marriages, compared with one in three only a few years ago. The experts, Paul C. Click, lohn C. Beresford and David Heer of the U.S. Bureau of the Census, dropped these statistics in their reports on family life pattern at the AAAS' annual meeting. They also said that: Familes are growing. In 1950 Ihe average family numbered 3.5 persons. Now it's 3.8. Wives are having children at a much younger age than their grandmothers did. Today's young father can ex pect to marry off his youngest child before he turns 50. SET COLLECTION RECOKD WASHINGTON (UPI (-The Jus tice Department civil division set a record in collecting money cluims on behalf of the federal government in 1959. In a year-end report, the department said Wednesday the government filed 4.157 civil suits claiming $02, 500, 000 and settled for 53 million dollars. In 1948, the union poll was one of the few in the nation which indicated that President Harry S. Truman would win his fight for reelection against former New York Governor Thomas E Dewey. The union said the surveys in dicated Democrats still have a decided edge over Republicans in the eyes of its members but this could disappear before 1960 elec tions. "A decline reflecting disillusion- mint (witn me Democrats ( is definitely beginning to show," the union said in an article published in the current issue of CWA News. Polls taken since 1958 make e'ear that there has been a grad ual shift among CWA members away from the Democratic par ty, it added. The latest survey was taken among delegates to the union's annual convention and through nationwide sampling of CWA members. The latter group close ly resembles a cross-section of the U. S. adult population, the union said. Other results showed that rank-snd-file members were disap pointed in the achievements of the Democratic-dominated Con- gtess, the union said. "If this trend becomes a reali ty, then the Democratic party is in for a sad awakening in 1960," the CWA pollsters said. The CWA said 73 per cent of those surveyed in June, 1958, said they felt the Democrats were do ing the best job of handling ma jor issues. This figure dropped to 09.9 per cent a year later and fell to 69 per cent last August. In an analysis of these figures, Ihe union concluded: The Democrats need construc tive and imaginative leadership if this erosion is to be stopped." CWA, which represents about 350.000 workers in the telephone and related industries, claims that its previous surveys have never been more than 1 or 2 per cent off in their predictions.

Scribe For Gotham Paper To Retire After 50 Years NEW YORK (UPI) - Two generations of readers have giown up reading stories by Sally MacDougall. Her byline has appeared in the paper nearly every day for 50 years. Today Sally announced her re tirement, but still refused to pub licize her age which has been something of a mystery. She whispered it to her boss and said: "I was afraid If you knew how eld I was, I wouldn't get good assignments." She asked him not to tell any one else though, because my friends might stop inviting me to parlies, and I love parties." He won't. Bui the editors of the New York World-Telegram & Sun couldn't really care less ahout the chrono logical age of Sally MacDougall. She is still, they said, the same slaunc Scottish Presbyterian young woman who fumed to an interfering secretary: Look here, I talk to God every aay. Why the devil cant I talk to Grover Whalen?" She talked to city official Whalen, and got the story. As the page one story on her retirement was being set, Miss MacDougall was busy at her desk writing a feature story to appear next week. At an age long past that of conventional retirement, she's quitting, she said, because there are more other things to do than weekends give her time for. Miss MacDougall was born in Canada, daughter of a Scot-born Presbyterian minister. When her father died, she and her mother moved to Milwaukee to be near her older brothers. She worked for some time as a stenographer. Then she sold a feature story to the now dclunct Milwaukee Daily News and was hired. That wai 1910. "It was society in the morning j-nd murders in the afternoon," ahe said of her early assignments. In 1919, after her mother died, she came to New York. "I didn't know one living soul," she said. But an editor of the old New York World liked the wav she wrote. She went from it to the Scripps - Howard World- Telegram in 1931.
