N.Y. (INS) —UN scientists probing the dangers of atomic radiation gave top priority today to the problem of sofe-guarding unborn generations from the genetic effects of nuclear bombardment. The 15-nation UN committee on radiation, taking note of worldwide anxiety that exposure to atomic radiation might produce human misfits and monster births, resigned three of its seven working groups to the study of genetic problems. The committee, which includes nuclear experts from the U. S., Russia and Japan, is meeting privately at UN headquarters to lay the groundwork for the international study into the effects of Hbomb tests on mankind and other radiation hazards. The study was initiated* by the general .assembly last year in an effort to clear up doubts and fears about the problem of radiation and to determine scientifically whether nuclear weapons ttests are “poisoning” the atmosphere.

Homemaking Tips By Mlsa Bertha Landis Home Demonstration Agent Mothers of today need no longer worry about their children being destructive to home furnishings. Easily cleaned, durable furnishings are now available for children’s rooms and other rooms where the youngsters play. Plastics, synthetic fabrics, special finishes, and chemical treatments to furnishings make it possible to have attractive rooms that children can enjoy. Tough plastic-laminated surfaces on table and dresser tops can withstand hard knocks, crayon marks, and spilled water. This surface “ comes in a variety of nonfading colors and may be cleaned with a damp cloth. A vinyl-coated upholstery material comes in a wide range of colors and textures. A hard surface floor covering is most practical for a youngster’s room. Water-repellent and wrinkle-re-sistant finishes make even delicate colored fabrics usable for curtains and bed spreads in children’s rooms. Durable fabrics, such as denim, seersucker, crinkle crepe, and lisse in cotton and nylon, are also suggested for bed spreads. For wall coverings in children’s rooms, there are a variety of practical, colorful materials such as

Indiana Prep Champ To Be Named Tonight By ALLEN DALE INDIAN APOUS (INS) — Faith an’ be’gorrah, ’twOlbe an unlucky day for three teams in the IHSAA’s 45th annual prep basketball tourney before thia night is history. Biggest shillelagh carried into Butler Fieldhouse for the threegame windup to this 742-team madness that began a month ago Is in the capable bands of defending champion Crispus Attacks. This band of Flying Tigers now. has a new high school consecutive victory string of 43 and a two-year record of 59-1 and is hoping the third time is the charm that will carry an unbeaten team to the state title. Attacks has not lost a game since late in the 1954-55 regular season. Luck never hurt any team and it’s three-to-flve the quintet that i succeeds where Terre Haute Gatfield. 1947, and Jeffersonville, 1935, failed in the title games, will have a little shamrock smile along the way. Attacks is paired in the second afternoon game against a pack of Black Cats from Terre Haute Gerstmeyer, that would like to cross the Tigers’ path and prance into the finale. This isn't the pack of Cats from 13th street In Terre Haute that Crispus Attacks chewed into 98-52 bits early in the season and it isn’t the same club that Michigan City, which was thumped 12353 by Attacks, defeated 77-55. While Gerstmeyer certainly has imprvoed to win 21 of 23 since the first of the year, it certainly hasn’t improved sb much that anything short of the aid of leprechauns will enable Black Cats to snap the Tigers’ whiskers. The first game features the Blue Blazers of Elkhart (not Scotland) against the likes of Lafayette Jeff. No one whisking the foam off a bock today can choose between Marion Crawley nor can they Max Bell, the respective coaches anymore than could they between Howard Sharpe and Ray Crowe. On the face of it, Jeff has the edge with a 63 53 regular season nod over Elkhart and identical season records, 16-4. Jeff has eight tourney wins to seven for Elkhart. There was no one foe common to all contenders in today's finale but Michigan City played three of the finalists. In addition to the previously recorded efforts with Terre Haute and Crispus Attacks, Me also managed a loss to Elkhart by a 54-51 count. ® Attacks and Elkhart, as possible title game poponents, also shared the experience of defeating South Bend Adams. Elkhart by 90-70 and Attacks by 88-51. And each got to Frankfort: Elkhart by 16 and Attacks by 10. Lafayette and Attacks, as possible title game opponents (the favored possibility), each defeated Anderson and Frankfdrt and played Indianapolis Tech with Jeff losing, Attacks winning. Elkhart and Gerstmeyer would have the Michigan City score in common if they got the title game plus matching victories over LaPorte, Elkhart by six and Gerstmeyer by 18. Gerstmeyer and Jeff would have scribes scurrying back to the beginning of the season when a weak Gerstmeyer beat Richmond, 62-52, and the end of the season when a strong Jeff lost to Richmond, 6246. But quicker than you can say Oscar Robertson, ’twill be all over except for the shouting and the green in the eyes of the losers. scrubbable plastic tile in a nonglaring finish, vinyl tiles, and washable wallpapers. A painted material, such as hard board or even a window blind may be hung in children’s rooms for chalk drawing to discourage them from writing on the wall.
