Radioactive Rain Reported By Red Radio Soviet Scientific Expedition Reports Radioactive Rain LONDON (UPI) — Moscow Radio said today a Soviet scientific expedition ship ran into "radioactive rain” 1,800 miles west oft a U. S. atomic testing base.in the Pacific. / The broadcast here said the radioactivity was registered by scientists aboard the Soviet ship “Vityaz?’ It said the ship first encountered the radioactivity May 23. "On May 29 it reached the maximum which exceeded the normal dose by several hundred times,” the broadcast said. Moscow Radio said the ship had been conducting IGY observations west of the Mariana Islands and north of the Caroline Islands. There was no indication immediately if any of the Soviet crew members suffered ill effects from the radioactive rain. Estimates Dosage WASHINGTON (UPI) — Scientist Ralph E. Lapp estimated today that the radiation dosage reported by a Soviet ship in the western Pacific was just about the same as the maximum safe daily dose permitted to workers in U. atomic energy plants. Lapp, wartime member of the U. S. atomic bomb project and author of the recently published “The Voyage of the Lucky Dragon,” said that on the basis of Radio Moscow reports the Soviet crew members have “nothing to worry about.” The Japanese tuna trawler Lucky Dragon was showered with radioactive dust 100 miles east of Bikini after a U. S. nuclear explosion March 1, 1954. The 23 crewmen were burned and sickened, and one subsequently died. But the Lucky Dragon, Lapp estimated, received a first-day dosage about 2,000 times as great as that reported by the Russians. Radio Moscow said the Soviet ship Vityaz on May 29 rah into rain - borne radioactivity 1,800 miles west of the U. S. proving ground which reached a maximum “several hundred times” normal . background. Assuming “several hundred" [ meant around 300 times normal background radioactivity, Lapp ; concluded that the ship on May 29 encountered radiation amounting to about 50 milliroentgens per day. This, he said, is the daily amount permitted U. S. atomic workers and “is not a peril to health.” The roentgen is a unit of radial tion dosage. The normal chest Xray exposes the patient to about one-tenth roentgen, or 100 milliroentgens. British Leader To Visit United States Leaves Tonight By Air For Washington LONDON (UPD —Prime Minister Harold Macmillan leaves by air tonight for Washington, where I he will confer with President Eisenhower on France’s future as an ally of the West and other pressing problems. Macmillan will be accompanied by Cabinet Secretary Sir Norman Brook and several members of his personal staff. After conferring with Eisenhower on Monday and Tuesday, the prime minister will receive honorary degrees from De Pauw University, where his grandfather studied medicine, and Johns Hop kins. The President will accompany him on a helicopter fligh< from Washington to Baltimore for 1 the Johns Hopkins award. ‘ Macmillan will wind up his stay ' in ftJorth America with a two-dav stopover in Canada, where he will ■ confer with Prime Minister Johr ■ Diefenbaker. 1 Informed sources said major • topics to be taken up by Macmillan and Eisenhower include the questions of nuclear tests and of ' future Anglo-American cooperation 1 in strengthening the economic defenses of the West. They said he will ask the U. S President not to consent to any suspension of nuclear tests at least until U. S. law has been revised to allow the sharing of atomic secrets with its Allies.

Hears Arguments On Killer's Petition New Trial Is Sought By Fort Wayne Man INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—The Indiana Supreme Court heard oral arguments Thursday on a petition asking a new trial for condemned wife slayer Richard Kiefer, 37, Fort Wayne. Public Defender parrie Tremper of Fort Wayne told the high court that a photograph of Kiefer s dead five-year-old daughter, Dorothy, unfairly prejudiced the Allen Circuit Court jury which convicted Kiefer in May, 1957, of the firstdegree murder of his wife. Pearl, 35. Kiefer had testified during the original trial that he hammered and stabbed his wife and daughter to death after an argument over family debts on Jan. 15, 1957. Kiefer, slated to die in the electric chair at Indiana State Prison last Sept. 2, later was granted an indefinite stay of execution to allow time for an appeal. Tremper told the high court he strongly objected to the introduction of the picture of the dead grl’s body since Kiefer was tried solely lor his wife’s death. The picture was so “gruesome” that it “compelled" the jury to form a prejudicial opinion, Tremper said. He said the prosecution introduced more pictures of the dead woman s hacked and nude body than were necessary to establish the cause of death. He told the high court the evidence did not show the premeditation warranting the first-degree conviction and the death penalty. But Deputy Atty. Gen. Owen S. Boling, appearing for the state, disagreed with Tremper. He said the photos were important in the issue and said premeditation was 1 evidenced by testimony that Kiefer said he got a knife "to finish them off.” Leon Grote, 9. son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Grote, route 5, was dismissed from the St. Vincent hospital, Indianapolis, after having undergone hip surgery. He was a former polio victim. t

Gives Arab League Chance Os Solution Gainn Postponement Os Study By U. N. UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (UPI) —Lebanon gave the Arab League another chance today to solve its dispute with the United Arab Re- —- public. The UN security council stood ready to take up the case if the effort failed.
