Radiation Neurosis Gripping Japanese Continue Claims Os U. S. Nuclear Blast TOKYO (INS) — Millions of Japanese were reported gripped today by what newspapers are calling “radiation neurosis” in the ' wake of Japanese claims that the United States unleashed another nuclear test blast of major pro- . portions t inthe Mid-.Pafrif Mom day? Despite lack of official confiri mation in Washington, scientists of the Tokyo central meteorological observatory said they were “virtually. .certain” that a third nuclear blast was touched off in current tests at Bikini atoll. The scientists said atmospheric pressure' waves indicated the purported blast was “about the same size” as the hydrogen bomb airdropped over Bikini May 21. Reaction among. Japanese was immediate. In Osaka, clothing reported a sudden boom in the sale of raincoats which are recommended for protection against radioactive particles in rain. One wholesaler reported that he sold out a stock of 490,000 coat*. On Awaji island, off the Honshu coast, a school boy was reported suffering from a mysterious discoloration of the skin on his hands. Local health officials reported receilvng thousands of telephone calls about the case and quieted fears by announcing that the boy’s ailment had nothing to do with radiation. GEN. TWINING (Conllnnrd from Pace One) 1959 or 196 CL ' Defense secretary Charles E. Wilson contends that the U. S. has, and is maintaining, air supremacy. Although the defense department was hopeful that possibly other members of the joint chiefs would be invited to the Moscow air demonstration, experts can accompany the air force chief. Since Twining was asked to head a delegation, the other members need only be of slightly lesser rank. Potter had suggested that if all of the joint chiefs were invited, they should report to an informal meeting of the entire congress. Trade in a Good Town — Decatm

Italian Reds Lose Ground In City Elections Moderate Parties Triumph Over R<ds in Italian Voting ROME (INS) — Former President Harry S, Truman's presence in Italy was credited today with contributing to the defeat of the Communists aid the triumph of the moderate parties in the Sun-day-Monday municipal elections. The Christian Democrats of premier Antonio Segni were running from 25 to 40 percent better than tn 1951 as returns poured in from the 7,000 courts/ Commu lists and their lettering Socialist allies managed to ho|d their grip on the industrial Po ▼alley’s "red triangle.” They remained in power in the city councils of Bologna, Leghorn, Ferrara and Roggio Emilia, s Wealthy shipowner Achille Lauro, a monarchist, scored a smashing personal victory in being reelected mayor of Naples. But the right-wing parties generally lost ground in such key cities as Bari. Officials of the Segni government said that Truman’s “presence by itself was an important factor in the Christian Democratic victory.” “But his stating he hoped the elections would come out in the interest of the Italian people, plus their firm refusal to believe the new Khrushchev-Bulganli line, certainly helped many to make up their minds,” they said. The former President and his wife, who are on a leisurely tour of Europe, were in Venice today.
