Opposes Condinued Hydrogen Bomb Test Herman J. Muller Warns Os Dangers WASHINGTON <UP» — Prof. Hermann J. Muller, former Nobel Prize winner from Indiana University, said today continuation of hydrogen bomb tests would be a "monstrous mistake of policy for both sides." Muller, an expert on radiation genetics, made the statement at a hearing on radioactive fallout being conducted by the Joint ConContinuation of the tests, he gressiqnal Committee on Atomic Energy. Continuation of the tests, he charged, will lead the world “nearer to a war that even with present techniques would result in the cataclysmic ruination of humanity in general." "The means of destruction are now so advanced on both sides." said Muller, "that further advances by one side alone could not prevent thia outcome." Urges Institute Muller urged creation of a "Radiation Health Institute" to study the "grave biological effects of radiation." He said work of such an organization “may duly influence our policies and procedures.” Such is not the case now, said Muller, because the “official delegates of our country on the United Nations Scientific Committee on TOMORROW TOTS DAY AT Edward's Studio DECATUR raiTiM I — Last Time Tonight — [ | “TARZAN A LOST SAFARI" | | Gordon Scott-Color | | A "HE LAUGHS LAST" | | Frankie Laine—Color | WED.

the Effects ot Atomic Radiatton are neither geneticists. . .” Muller scored a "curious omcial silence" regarding certain radiation effects—one of them “an insidious weakening of the body’s resistance <in exposed individuals’ to the onset of infirmities and diseases all kinds." Scores “Official Silence" Hechar ged still less publicized has been "the increasing evidence that the amount of these effects is simply proportionate to the to tai dose received, even when this has been given in tiny bits scat tered over long periods. “Official reluctance to give information in popular form on radiation damage," said Muller, has caused people to "lend too ready an ear to the alarmists who declare that the genetic material of the human race is seriously endangered by the fallout from the test explosions themselves." While the number of injuries to descendants of exposed persons will be “enormous.” said Muller, they will be relatively few in comparison with those due to other causes. He termed the suffering “very small relatively to that which might follow from any serious mistake in the conduct of international relations. 1 ’ Mrs. Walter Krick Pastor's Secretary Mrs. Walter Krick has been named secretary to the pastor of the church, and financial secretary, effective as of June 1, the Rev.

Britain Ready To Halve Bomb Tests t Cut Tests In Face Os Growing Protest 1 LONDON m— Britain is ready to cut its hydrogen bomb testa by half in the face of counting public opinion against further nuclear testa in the South Pacific, well-informed sources said today. The sources said no more hydrogen bombs would be dropped in the testing area near Christmas Island in the Pacific after . the third explosion scheduled for ■ some time this week. British scientists reported that the two bombs dropped so far have been completely successful and that one more test will be sufficient to enable the data collected so far to be checked. It was understood the original schedule called for ~at least six testa. ’ • The government of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan was believed anxious to score a political victory by heeding public opinion and calling off the remaining blasts, doubly so with reassurance by scientists no further testa are necessary. Public opinion has mobilized against the testa both in Britain and abroad despite scientists’ assertions that there has been little or no radioactive fallout from them and that the risk of radiation poisoning is almost non-existent. ‘ Two Killed Putting i Up Antenna For TV Man And Wife Are Electrocuted Monday MUNCIE (UP) — A man and his t wife were electrocuted Monday t night while putting up a television ■ antenna at their home in Cam- • mack, seven miles west of here.

Bloomgarden, meanwhile, answered “sacral” and was judged the winner. A storm of protest, including objections by many medical experts, prompted a review of the decision. Ultimately, a ruling by Encyclopedia Britannica experts resulted in a rematch. In the rematch. Bio omgarden , was guaranteed $52,000, which he , had earned on the show. Ordinarily, a contestant has to state his entire winnings in future contests.
