Eye Injuries From Atomic Tests Revealed Defense Dept. Says Injuries Reported To Atom Commission WASHINGTON (INS) —The defense department hoped to prove today that eye injuries suffered in the 1552 and 1953 Nevada atomic tests were reported to the atomic energy commission. A Pentagon spokesman conceded that a mistake was made in milholding the information from the publie tor more than two years, but said he was confident records would show that the AEC was informed. Adm. Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the AEC, said Sunday that "no report was ever made to the commission, as far as I know.” Prior to the defense announcement over the weekend that four soldiers had suffered eye injuries from the brilliant flash of atomic explosions. Strauss and other officials had stated repeatedly that no injuries had ever occurred. The belated announcement assumed special significance because of the testing during the current Nevada atomic series of an anti-aircraft shell at an altitude of about five miles. From an atomic explosion at this record altitude, eye injuries could result at distances as great as 60 miles for persons not wearing dark glasses. The announcement also tended to support charges made before congress March 14 by Dr. George V. Leßoy. associate dean of biologic sciences at the University of Chicago, who said important data concerning atomic injuries is being withheld from the medical profession. Leßoy said that in case of an atomic attack most physicians would be unprepared to treat injuries resulting from radiation, flash burns and radioactive fallout. This was denied by the AEC. The Pentagon spokesman said he did not know whether information concerning the eye injuries ever reached the medical profession.

Insects Developing Poison Immunity Tough Problem For Research Workers WASHINGTON (INS) — Government research workers have a tough decision to make on future efforts to overcome insect resistance to chemical poisons. The question is: Should they continue to develop new materials on a sort of trial-atid-errot basis, starting over again each time the insects become resistant; or should they go after the basic proMem—why insects develop immunity. A definite heed for prompt action ilea in the bald tact that the number of insects which are developing immunity to new poisons is increasing each year. It has long been common knowledge that flies and mosquitoes in many areas are resistant to DDT, first used so successfully a decade ago. ’ ' ' But there have been reports in the recent past that other insects are becoming resistant to this popular chemical. The list includes, among others, the Colorado potato beetle, cabbage looper, imported cabbageworm, grape leafhopper, lygus bugs, and potato flea beetles. i Certain species of spider mites are thought to be developing immunity to parathion, a newer chemical which has been very effective up to now. Some plant lice are becoming Immune to both DDT and parathion. Bean beetles in some southern states are showing signs of resistance to highlypotent rotenone, and the list could go on at considerable length. As top research workers point out, when such developments take place valuable time must be spent in developing alternate control materials and, in the meantime, serious damage to crops may result. The agriculture department is asking for increased research to start work on the basic problem during the fiscal year beginning next July 1. Another Delay In Atom Test Series LAS VEGAS, Nev.

Pentagon To Study Papers Os MacArthur MacArthur Favors Publication Os All Documents On Yalta WASHINGTON (INS) — The Pentagon wss to reexamine today documents containing Gen Doug las MacArthur's World War II views on Russia’s entry into the Pacific conflict. The army, clamping a “confidential” label on the wartime records, has agreed to release them if the defense department gives them security clearance. MacArthur, in a statement issued Sunday night in New York, declared be would favor publication of the document—which relate to the Yalta conference—only if all papers bearing on “responsibility tor the Yalta decisions” are published. The famed World War II Far Eastern commander, in the statement issued through Maj. Gen. Courtney Whitney (Ret.), said he understood “effor.ts are being made to have the defense department release certain selected military documents for the most part bearing upon post-Yalta studies and plana” He declared: “I would deprecate most unequivocably a partial and selective release. If any documentary evidence is to be released, it should be released in full.” MacArthur drew a sharp distinction between “events leading up to the Yalta decisions and those which followed." -- He said: “The former solely and conclusively determined the decisions taken at Yalta; th* latter merely dealt with their implementation.” Back of the controversy over issuance of Pentagon documents relating to MacArthur's views on Russian participation in the war against Japan is the contention of some congressmen and others that the Pacific commander urged concessions to the Soviets to bring them into the fight. He flatly denied that he made such a recommendation. The Yalta papers, released last month, showed that the late President Franklin Roosevelt and British prime minister Winston Churchill made many concessions to Josef Stalin. They were the price the Russian boss exacted for joining in the Far Eastern war. MacArthur said: “Before Yalta the problem revolved around the question of whether or not the Soviet should be induced to enter the war against Japan. “When an affirmative decision was reached by the heads of state meeting at Yalta the basic problem was conclusively resolved, leaving for study and discussion only the corollary professional question of the*%est utilization of the Soviet forces.” MacArthur and hie supporters maintain that if all data is published. it will show that the general was opposed to any wide concessions to Russia and that he was convinced that Japan could be brought to her knees quickly by U. S. and other Allied forces then in the Pacific. Youth Sentenced In Auto Theft Scheme Two Others Seized In Neat Theft Ring SOUTH BEND, Ind. (INS)— A 20-year-old Gary man was sentenced today and two other men were in custody in connection with a neatly-operating car theft ring whose weak point was spotted by Indiana state police. ■ Sentenced today to one to 10 years in the Indiana reformatory was Andrew B. Stanik, 20, of Gary, who entered a plea of guilty and explained the ring’s operation to police. - Stanik also named Joseph P. Vavrek, 22. of Crown Point, and a third unidentified man as being co-workers with him in the ring.! The plan required first buying a wrecked car or burned auto to get a legal title, and then stealing another auto of the same model for resale, using the motor number of the junked vehicle. But state police noticed the speed with which two men pulled past them in separate- cars, then climbed into fine car and abandoned the other. The abandoned car turned ont< tn be a newly-stolen bne, which Stanik said the ring was taking to a garage in Gary to be" converted to a seemingly legal car with the motor of an already-acquired burned model of the Eame year and make. Stanik said the third man involved in the ring also is in custody- in Lake county, but police declined to disclose his name. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Says Ike Dragging Heels On Trade Plan Urges Eisenhower To Work For Plan WASHINGTON (INS) — Two Democratic supporters of the reciprocal trade program charged today that Preatdent Elsenhower is "dragging Jits heels" oh hie plan for increasing U. S. business abroad. Reps. Carl Albert, Okla., Democratic house whip, and Wilbur Mills (D-Ark.) a ranking member of he house ways and means committee, declared major restrictions are likely to be placed on the program. They contend the President must work harder tor the legislation which he requested, and accused him of paying only lip service to the measure. Mr. Eisenhower asked for a three-year extension of the present program permitting tariff reductions up to 60 percent in exchange for concessions by other countries. He also requested new broad powers to lower tariffs—up to 15 percent below present permitted floors over the next* three years. The measure, which squeaked through the house by a very narrow margin, is now' before the senate finance committee. More than 100 amendments have been prepared for introduction when the bill reaches the senate floor. Industries already injured by foreign competition and those which fear they may be hurt are making their voices heard more effectively in congress than at any time since the reciprocal trade act was first enacted in 1984.
