Its o o o National Food Cache Proposed By Scientist I HERALD AM) NEWS, Klamath FalU, Ore Thursday, gcutbrr 19, 1961 Pace 7 A WASHINGTON I API A Cali- taenia scientist suggests the Unit-! ed States build up a national food cache so that food enough for two years would be available within easy walking distance ot every American in the event of nuclear war. Dr. Perry R. Slout of the Uni versity of California, speaking Tuesday to a component institute, of the National Research Council, said a $15-billion emergency food supply should be widely distnb uted. Stout said: "It will not be too much to follow the Biblical ad monishment that the seven lean years will follow the good. As with the ancient Egyptians, let us take 20 per cent of each year's crop and store it assuming we can Law 'Seals' Vug Firms WASHINGTON (UPD-A New York patent attorney said today that proposed drug patent laws might force manufacturers to re sort to secrecy when they invent potent drugs.

"Consequently, in case ot large- scale nuclear combat with prima ry targets being our concentrated industrial establishments, agricul. ture, even though highly dis persed, will become paralyzed immediately. Adding that agriculture in the United States could not be re stored until its industrial base was reestablished, he said food enough for two years should be cached for these reasons: 1. It would take a year to re store industry and transportation after a full-scale nuclear attack 2. Another year would be re quired to allow new crops to come in &nd bo harvested. The agricultural scientist said "two year survival kit" of food would require: supplies of animal protein, dessicated and compact ed; carbohydrates and fats simi larly treated; plus the vitamins necessary for adequate diets. And, "as for our present surplus grains, they must be gotten out of the warehouses and converted to animal protein." He said the resources of agri cultural experiment stations and food preservation industries "must be called upon for all-out research programs to develop methods for keeping foods stored for .indefinite periods in the future."

Khrushchev's Speech Arouses Dismay, Hope in Western European Nations Truck Kills THE DALLES (API A man standing in the eastbound lane of Highway 30 near Hosier was struck and killed by a heavy truck near midnight Tuesday night. The victim was Leslie E. Chcs ley, 52, a transient farm laborer. State police said the driver re ported he did not see Chesley until about 20 feet from him. Youths Riot On Schools CIUDAD TRUJILLO, Dominican Republic (UPI) High school boys rioted in downtown Ciudad Trujillo today battling policemen and firemen in protest against school closures. Several of the teen agers were injured and one boy was reported to have been hit by a fast-moving police prowl car. The street riots followed early student demonstrations at the nor mal school where students tore a bronze plaque reading "Prcsiden te Trujillo" off the front of the building. School director Enrique Guilbee Mangual suspended classes and sent the students home but they remained in front of the building. When school doors closed, how ever, the students marenca on toward downtown Ciudad Trujillo chanting antigovernment slogans. They found police barring their way and started throwing rocks at police cars. Police charged the demonstrators and firemen sprayed them down with hoses. .lorge Antonio Hcrrera, 15, was taken to Padre Billini Hospital when reportedly struck by a police car. Several other students reported injuries. LONDON (API Premier Khrushchev's speech to the So viet Communist party Congress aroused conflicting feelings ot hope and dismay in the capitals of Western Europe today. The fearful Europeans clutched! at the straw he held out on Berlin, the announcement he had lifted his deadline for signing a peace treaty with East Germany. But some noted that was the only change in his Berlin stand. Dismay was widespread at his announcement that in less than two weeks the Russians will ex plode a 50-megaton hydrogen bomb, the biggest man-made bang the world has ever known. British newspapers exhibited more concern at the prospect of the massive Soviet nuclear blast than relief over the possible de lay in a Berlin showdown. "There is no supreme military advantage to be gained in touch ing off so large a bomb," said thci Times of London. "The purpose behind the announcement is large ly political. It is meant to fill the Western peoples with fears of what may happen unless their governments concede points to the Russians over Berlin." The Manchester Guardian said Soviet plans to explode the super bomb has destroyed the pros- pect of freezing weapons develop ment and so limiting the arms race. It has also destroyed the at tempt to start a pilot scheme for international control over disarm amenl. It has added to the pollu tion of the earth's atmosphere with new radiation. And it has brought Russia neither extra in fluence nor greater security." The Conservative Daily Mail said Khrushchev "has not budged an inch" on the future status of Berlin. On Berlin, said the Laborite Daily Herald, Khrushchev spoke "with moderation and hope," but when he spoke about his new bomb he was "back at his old game of trying to make our flesh creep." Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Ex press viewed the speech through rose-colored glasses, calling it! 'an important and welcome con-1 tribulion to maintaining peace." By postponing the signing of a treaty with East Germany, the Russian leader shows his willing ness to negotiate," said the Ex- press. "He also shows courage. For it is not easy for a man inl supreme power to retire from position he has taken up. Yet that is what Khrushchev had done." To West German newspapers. the high spot of Khrushchev's speech was naturally his an nouncement that he would post pone signing an East German peace treaty. "With his speech he reactivated diplomatic activities between East and West," said the Frankfurt Neue Presse. "A new period of discussion and hope should there fore now begin." In Paris, Le Figaro said the DOUBLE TROUBLE ST.

But the newspaper cautioned: 'One should guard against any excessive optimism. Mr. Khrush chev has hardly changed his position on the German problem." Rome's independent II Mcssag- gero said that on Berlin Khrush chev "suddenly recouped a sense of responsibility and balance, a statesman's prudence, a realism of those who bear a tremendous responsibility before all peoples." Austrian papers also saw Khrushchev's latest line on Berlin as a retreat from old positions. Indian government officials were privately critical of the Soviet proposal to fire a massive new nuclear blast but as usual had no public comment. Japanese Foreign Ministry offi cials said the speech was a reiteration of basic Soviet policies and contained nothing new. Canadian Prime Minister John G. Diefenbaker said the Soviet premier seemed to express a hope that Western unity has been broken to the point where com munism ultimately will succeed. Diefenbaker added this was "in- Ideed fantasy." MUNICH, Germany (UPIl - A private Western radio station said today Soviet scientists made a mistake in weather prediction during a nuclear bomb test four: years ago and winds dumped ra dioactive fallout over a part of Kazakhstan causing a "high death rate." The account of the fallout poison ing was beamed to the Soviet Un ion by Radio Liberty, a privately- financed station specializing in Russian language broadcasts. Radio Liberty said its story came from a person who was in Kazakhstan during the testing of what was believed t ob cahy dro- what was believed to be a hydro gen bomb in August, 1957. The station said its informant could not be identified, although apparently it was a Russian. The story said residents of the Karkaralinsk region had been warned to stay clear of a restrict ed area and were assured nc harm would come to them. But after the test blast, the scientist realized their mistake and sent inspection teams to the inhabited region. The inspectors, wearing nrotec live clothing, ordered many crops burned and the fields plowed, the report said. About two weeks after the tests Radio Liberty said, residents wcrei warned to report headaches and1 temperatures and to drink water only from wells which had been covered. Another two weeks later, an epidemic broke out and was de imbed bv local doctors as virus flu," Radio Liberty said.
