(UP)— The latest detonation of a /iuelear device was made so high above the ground about 1,500 feet in the air that it resulted in virtually no radioactive fallout, scientists reported today. The Atomic Energy Commission said the shot, fired Friday from a helium-filled balloon, was virtually "clean” because it was detonated so high above ground it did not suck up dirt from be-
neath the balloon.
Observers said the stem of the mushroom cloud formed by the blast failed to touch the earth. The flash of the fireball, how'ever was visible as a brilliant

The A EC announced its next test was scheduled for Thursday, Aug 29, and would be a tower

Edsel Is Unveiled Critics Assured On Friday Night By TVA Nominee
OPERATION POSTPONED BOSTON (UP) — A delicate kidney transplant operation which could save the life of a 14 year old twin girl will probably not be performed until next week, doctors said today. Physicians at Peter Bent Brigham Hospital redoubled their efforts to determine if Delores and Doris Huskey of De Sota, Mo., were true identical twins. Delores, desperately ill with the acute nephritis which is usually fatal, would receive a healthy organ from her sister in the operation. The surgery has been successful four times previously but only on identical twins.
BOSTON (UP)—The Edsel. billed as the ‘newest thing on wheels,” went on display here ast night for the first time. The new wrap-around buggy, designed to compete in the middle price field with Buick, DeSoto and Oldsmobile, features such innovations as push-button gear selection in the middle of the steering wheel. But the most distinctive feature is the Edsel front. The new car, built by Ford and named for a son of the firm’s founder, has a fiont to end all tail fins. The theme is “vertical.” Thu eye-catcher is an up-and-down centerpiece, a little reminiscent of the old Cord, or maybe a jet fighter plane’s cowling. Flaring trom each side of the flat-topped •heart” are horizontal grilles. Edsel publicity men will say .hat she’s got up to 350 horsepower, and every engine is a V-8. What will it do on a hill ? “Peppier than the new Mercuries,” .hey say. “She ll burn rubber on .ny hill you want to mention.” Trade ins? “We’ll be competitive. You can trade with us. vVe plan to sell 200,000 cars the tirst year. But we’re in the middle bracket. To get 6 per cent of the market, our quality control will be exacting. There are a total of 18 models in four “series.” The lower priced series, the rangers and the pacers, have one type of engine. The higher priced cars, the Corsairs and the top bracket Citation, have a power plant that’s bigger. Under the hood, they have put the distributors way up front and the spark plugs are their pride: "Any garageman can get at them.” The engineering on the engine, they say, is completely
new.
WASHINGTON (UP) —President Eisenhower’s TVA board nominee, Arnold R. Jones, promised Democratic critics today that he would "not preside” over liquidation of the Tennessee Valley Authority. “I believe in” the federally managed authority, he said, and "would resign” as a director before accepting presidential orders to its detriment. Jones said. The 53-year-old Kansan appeared for his third day of Senate Public Works Committee questioning on his nomination to become one of three TVA direc-
tors.
And again Jones, now deputy director of the budget, faced Democratic TVA supporters sharply critical of President Eisenhower’s reference to the authority as “creeping socialism.” Sen. John Sparkman, D-Ala., told Jones that TVA would have been “destroyed” a few years ago if the Dixon-Yates contract had gone through. The now-defunct contract, involving a private utility’s right ! in the TVA power area, was resolved before Jones joined the Budget Bureau in 1956. Jones termed it “not likely” that the President would in the future direct him to change existing TVA policies with respect to private utility claims or use of TVA revenues for new construc-
tion.
But he reiterated that he would be "sympathetic” to the wishes of the President while giving “vigorous support’ ’to present law.

Hoffa, now* Teamsters vice president and prospective union choice to succeed retiring President Dave Beck, clenched a fist and pounded the witness table. "I don’t turn my back on anybody,” he said. "I w'on’t turn my (back on them, I’ll investigate
them.”
Hoffa said his payroll may contain some ex-convicts, who, he said, are entitled to rehabilitate themselves, or other persons wdth police records but no convic-
tions.
But as for the goons, extortionists, stink-bomb hurlers and racketeers with w'hom Kennedy said he associated, Hoffa told
the committee:
"Those characters I’m going to deal wdth. If it means I’m going to have to have an argument with some people I know, and maybe get pretty serious. I’ll just have to get serious.” Hoffa made that declaration toward the end of the session in
which he also:
-Conceded, as brought out previously, that he tried to set up an alliance wdth the International Longshoremen’s Assn., which had been kicked out of the AFL on grounds that it w*as dominated by racketeers. He said he offered to loan the ILA $490,000. Nothing came out of the plan. Asserted it was Beck who chartered seven bogus Teamsters locals in New York. The committee charges Hoffa recommended the chartering in order to rig a
union election.
—Promised to run a good 'Union if he is elected president at next month’s convention. He said he would lift the charters of some of the New York locals. — Indicated his close relations wdth Uew York hoodlum Johnny Dio by reporting he promised to help Dio after Dio’s conviction in a labor rackets case. He said Dio called him up after his July 25 conviction and asked, “worald I help him?” Hoffa testified that
“I said I Mvould.”
Kennedy time and again rejected Hoffa’s declaration that Beck was responsible for the sever,
bogus charters.
"You’re the one,” Kennedy said repeatedly. j
Mental Hospital Scene Of Fire FORT WAYNE (UP)—About 200 mentally retarded patients at the Fort Wayne State School were evacuated without casualty Friday when flames broke out on the second floor of a building. Authorities reported one inmate was overcome by smoke and treated at the school infirmary. Fire of undetermined origin burst forth in a dormitory unit on the east wing of a structure known as the Oak Park Colony Building. Attendants quickly led residents to safety while firemen from Fort Wayne and St. Joseph Township battled the blaze for about two hours. No estimate was made of the damage. Some of the inmates were assigned to other buildings. Others will be transferred early next w’eek to the Norman Beatty Memorial Hospital at Westville, according to mental health offi-
cials.
The 59-year-old building was scheduled for abandonment due 1 to its obsolescence. The state had appropriated $850,000 to erect a replacement building, but the old structure was supposed to have been used until the new one was ready in about 1959. 10 Youths Hurt When Hit By Auto LAGRANGE, Ind.
