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.

Europe Enjoying Big Boom;
More Prosperity Expected
LONDON (AP)-Fashion - con-
scions French girls look to Italy
for (heir shoes and sweuters.
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.

Soon Ihe two groups start talk

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.
A DC-8 jetliner would stretch
higher than a 12-story building if
placed upright on its tail.
Contract Awarded
SALEM (AP) The Oregon
Highway Commission Tuesday
awarded a $21,379 contract for
building a bridge over Sam's
Creek on the Sam's Creek Road
six miles east of Siletz in Lincoln
County.
The contract went to Sig An-
dersson. Coos Bay, who submit
ted the lowest of five bids.
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.
