application for a marriage-license
June 22.
Walgren, himself divorced and

Lapp Warns
Red Fallout
Past Limit
WASHINGTON (AP)-PhyslclstH
Raipn fc. Lapp, who helped in
development of the atom bomb
says it's his opinion that fallout
from the Soviet Union's nuclear
tests have exceeded the "safe
annual limit."
The Soviets fired their 19th at
mospheric explosion Sunday in
their current test series.
Lapp was interviewed on a re
corded radio program ABC As
We See It-Sunday.
They have, according to the
latest count, sent up over 10
megatons of weapons. I don't
know precisely how much of this
would be dirty, but this, in my
opinion, exceeds the safe level
that a number of scientists some
of them from the Atomic Energy
commission agreed upon as al
safe level back in 1957 when we
didn't know about the different!
kind of fallout from Russian
tests," Lapp said.
'It turns out that Russian tests
dump their debris back to the
earth sooner than the American
tests in the Pacific. And, there
fore, we find out on the actual
base of measuiements that you
get 10 times as much radiation
dose from these arctic tests in
Russia as you do from American
tests in the Pagific.
"Therefore, the safe annual
limit for Russian testing I would
put closer to the value of 3 mega
tons per year than I would the old
l'.OT value of 10 megatons per
year.
A megaton is the equivalent ol
of the energy released by a mil-
lion tons of TNT.
The Atomic Energy Commission
in announcing the Soviet Union's
19th nuclear detonation, stiid the
blast was in the atmosphere and
vas in "the low yield range.
The AEC has defined low range
as equivalent to about 20,000 tons
of TNT.

Teenagers
Begin Jail
SAN FRANCISCO (UPD-Four
teen-age boys prepared to begin
life imprisonment terms today for
the streetcar murder ot school
teacher William Hall.
The four. Larry Magee, 16, Rob

and William Castillo, 17, were con
victed of beating the 27-year-old
teacher last April and leaving him
semi-conscious on streetcar tracks
where a trolley ran over him.
Superior Judge Charles S. Peery
sentenced the four after denying
defense pleas for a new trial re
duction in charges and clemency.
Defense attorneys said they
planned to ask again for a new
trial.
The youths showed no emotion
when the sentence was delivered,
in contrast to their tearful reac
tion on Sept. 8 when a jury re
turned the guilty verdict.
The boys said at the trial that
they did not intend to kill Hall,
but had attacked him while roam
ing the city searching for homo
sexuals. No evidence was present
ed Indicating Hall was a homo
sexual.
Judge Peery had no choice oth
er than lite imprisonment sen
tences for the four. They were
convicted of first degree murder,
which carries a mandatory sen
tence of either life or death. Cali

"The stepped up picket lines ac

Settlement of local plant issues
between the union and the auto
manufacturers is becoming in

This became more obvious to
day as the nationwide Ford Motor

The Ford strike followed a two-

A surprise development was

that only about one-fourth of the
