Uy 10, 1962 THE MICHIGAN DAILY J.S. High Altitude H-Test rggers tor Device Denunciations Nationalist Emissaries Confident over A lgeria Ben Khedda Forces Predict Reconciliation With Ben Bella as Abbas Remains Neutral ALGIERS (,P) - Officials of the moderate regime of Premier Youssef Ben Khedda expressed confidence yesterday talks with dissi- dent Deputy Premier Ahmed Ben Bella in Morocco will lead to speedy reconciliation of Algeria's quarrelling leaders. Ben Khedda called a mass rally of his supporters in Algiers sports stadium and nationalist sources said he would seek support for his Soviets Call ruminates Pacific Sky HONOLULU (AP) - The United States exploded a missile-borne hydrogen device more than 200 miles above the Pacific Sunday night, the highest thermonuclear blast ever achieved. The massively powerful blast lighted up thousands of miles of Pacifie sky, from tiny Wake Island, to New Zealand, and aroused prompt and angry denunciation in Moscow and Peiping. Some Disruption Some disruption in Pacific com- munications was reported but not as much as had been feared. The megaton-plus device was fired with a force of more than a million tons of TNT 15 minutes after its booster Thor missile blasted off from the Johnston Is- land test base. It exploded precise- ly on schedule at 11 p.m. The magnitude of the flaring flash was so great that it filled heavy clouds over Hawaii with a brilliant glare fading into a glow of rainbow colors, lasting six min- 'utes. Honolulu is 750 miles north of 'Johnston Island. People Surprised In Auckland, New Zealand - 3,300 miles south of Johnston and 4,000 from Honolulu - people were startled by glowing light sweeping across the clear sky from northern to southern horizon. Auckland watchers saw a wid- ening red band of color, shot through with quivering white shafts off'light. At Wake Island - 1,500 miles northwest of Johnston - the more than 200-mile-high blast was seen as bright lightning. Watchers in the Fiji Islands - 2,000 miles away-saw a rainbow glow chang- ing through green, blue and yellow and finally to orange and red. The successful test followed two attempts that failed because of missile malfunctions June 4 and June 19 and four postponements of the third try that worked out perfectly. Moscow radio called the high al- titude hydrogen device blast a Crime. "The United States exploded its nuclear device In space despite the decisive protests of all mankind- precisely on the day when the world congress for general disarm- ament began its work in Mos- cow," the broadcast said. ACLU Offers Witnesses Aid Witnesses without counsel who are called before the House Un- American Activities Committee may receive free legal aid from the American Civil Liberties Union if the hearings are in Washington D.C., or in Southern California. Branches in these two areas, Rolland O'Hare, head of the De- troit Branch of the ACLU, ex- plained have recently announced this policy. The Southern Califor- nia branch announced it during HUAC hearings there last May and at the semi-annual convention of the ACLU last June the Capital Branch declared a similar policy. "Since 90 per cent of HUAC's hearings are held in Washington, this offer practically provides free counsel to anyone needing it," O'Hare declared. JOHNSTON ISLAND BLAST - This is one of a series of nuclear explosions which culminated in the detonation Sunday by the United States of a megaton range hydrogen bomb 200 miles above this Pacific testing area. SASKATCHEWAN DOCTORS: British Medical Expert To Advise About Strike REGINA W) - Socialist Premier Woodrow Lloyd called in a Brit- ish expert and both sides carried their battle to newspaper ads yes- terday in the doctors' strike against Saskatchewan's medical care plan. "I will try to help both sides reach an understanding," said 51- year-old Lord Taylor, a member of the House of Lords, as he pre- pared to leave for Saskatchewan. Premier Lloyd said, however, that Lord Taylor is not coming as a mediator. He said he believes the Briton's advice will be useful to Experiment 'Atom-Mania' Scientists Claim Bomb May Upset Ionosphere LONDON (A') - A United States high altitude hydrogen blast - whose fiery glow turned the sea blood red 3,200 miles away in New Zealand - triggered a chain re- action of Communist denunciation yesterday. From Peiping to Moscow, such epithets as "atom-maniacs" and "American criminals" were heaped on the United States for the great blast 200 miles above Johnston Island in the Pacific. Western scientists were divided on whether the shock will upset the balance of radiation high above the earth. But those within looking distance were plainly dazzled by the man-made aurora that danced in the skies over the Pacific. News Reaches Congress News of the high test shot reached Moscow on opening day of the Communist-led World Peace Congress, which was promptly turned into a carnival of anti-United States propaganda. "It is a gift to the Congress," Georgi A. Zhukov, a commentator for the Communist Party news- paper Pravda, said. Speaker after speaker mounted the rostrum in the Kremlin to de- nounce the American tests. Scientists Assail Tests Tass, the Soviet news agency, brought out a number of Soviet scientists to assail the Pacific ex- periment. Prof. Nikolai Dubinin of the So- viet Academy of Sciences said the high altitude blasts create artifi- cial radiation belts hazardous for Cosmonauts. Alexandra Profofyeva-Belgov- skaya, head of the laboratory at the Institute of Radiation Biology, said "the future of mankind will be in danger if the ionizing radia- tion background around the earth continues to increase." Red China Charges A broadcast from Communist China charged the test was con- ducted "in defiance of strong, worldwide public opposition." In London, afternoon papers spread the story across front pages. The conservative Evening Standard said the test was neces- sary to develop anti-missile mis- siles, adding: "Since the cost of ; anti-missile systems is going to run into bil- lions it is as well to find out how vulnerable they are before break- ing the bank." Fears have been expressed by B r i t i s h scientists, notably by famed astronomer Sir Bernard Lovell, that the high altitude shot might irreparably disturb the Van Allen Belt of radioactive particles surrounding the earth. Committee Readies .Bill WASHINGTON (P)-The Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday an- nounced tentative agreement on a hotly disputed bill to tighten federal policing of the prescrip- tion drug industry. The measure, drastically amend- ed to knock out or alter many pro- visions proposed by Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn) was ordered reprinted before it is submitted to the committee for a vote. Kefauver told reporters the measure "represents some improve- mnent" over existing law. But he said he would lead a fight on the Senate floor to strengthen some "watered down" provisions. In it present form the bill re- quires the registration of all prescription drug manufacturing firms, instead -of the licensing Kefauver had'proposed. It gives the government wider powers to re- quire manufacturers to supply in- formation about possible side ef- fects of their medicines. Therbill has been shorn of tough anti-trust provisions which Ke- fauver had contended would re- duce the price of medicines by requiring more competition. Sen. James O. Eastland (D- Miss), Judiciary -Committee chair- man, said the committee would meet again this week to seek a final decision on the bill. Thedcommitteetannounced it had adopted four more amend- ments this morning to the already much-changed bill. One of these, approved 6-4, elim- inates what Kefauver had called its "advertising control" section. The section would have required that advertising of medicines in medical journals must contain statements about possible side ef- fects as well as claims of ef- ficacy. Protest Violation Of Cambodia Sea PHOM PENH, Cambodia OP) - The Cambodian government an- nounced yesterday it has protested against what it called violations of Cambodian territorial waters by the South Vietnamese navy. SEN. ESTES KEFAUVER ... bill watered down views from Algerians living outside1 Rabat, coming from Cairo, and immediately went into conference with Ben Khedda's emissaries, In- formation Minister M'hammed Yazid and Minister of State Ra- bah Bitat. No Indication There was no indication wheth- er they were authorized to make commitments on Ben Khedda's behalf. But one official in Algiers said: "You can assume they will have no difficulty in reaching an under- standing." The well-trained Algerian army, equipped with modern Czech and Soviet weapons, was in control of virtually all the new nation except the capital and the Kabylie Moun- tains: Stationed Troops The troops, totaling some 45,000 men, had been stationed in Tu- nisia and Morocco until the nation became independent last week. They were apparently still obeyingt orders from their former chief of staff, Col. Houari Boumedienne. Boumedienne, an avowed admirer of Communist Chinese President Mao Tze-Tung, was fired by Ben Khedda on the eve of independ- ence, allegedly for plotting a mili- tary dictatorship. Ben Bella and another deputyt pr em i er, Mohammed Khider, broke with Ben Khedda in protest against Boumedienne's dismissal.I But at the root of the dispute lay sharply differing views on the fu- ture political alignment - or non-c alignment - of Algeria, and the degree of western-style democracyv to be practiced in the new state. There were rumors in Algiers that Ben Khedda might eventuallyc pave the way for such a solution by resigning in favor of a neutral leader such as former exile Pre- mier Ferhat Abbas. Abbas said last9 week he considered Boumedienne'sa dismissal ill-advised, but he hasr not taken sides in the more funda-. mental differences between the two factions. FRB Reduces Stock. Margins WASHINGTON (P) --Wall Street was handed a psychological prop yesterday when the Federal Reserve Board reduced stock mar- gins - or down payment require- ments - from 70 per cent to 50 per cent, effective today. The prop could prove more than psychological, in fact. An investor now will be able to buy $2,000 worth of stock with a down pay- ment of $1,000, compared with only $1,429 worth under the 70- per-cent rule in effect since July 1960. By allowing greater use of credit in the market, lower margins could stimulate heavier purchases of stocks. Increased buying, in turn, would put upward pressure on share prices. the capital. Ben Bella arrived in YOUSSEF BEN KHEDDA . .. confident world News Roundup WASHINGTON -- Representatives of western powers at the Geneva conference met in Washington yesterday for a review before the Geneva meeting reconvenes next week. United States authorities said the disarmament specialists from Britain, Canada, Italy and the United States probably would wind up their consultations today. The Washington session is reviewing western disarmament pro- posals to see what has happened in the disarmament field and what changes, if any, might be made when the Geneva conference recon- venes July 16 after its month-long summer recess. * * * *y CAIRO - President Abdul Nasser opened a nine-day conference of developing nations yesterday with a statement that the conference "represents a hope for progress and peace." The United Arab Repub- lic's leader told representatives of 35 countries attending that the gathering "is not in any manner of means directed against the more advanced" countries of the world. Members of the conference do not represent an alliance and hold no grudge against more prosperous nations, he said. * * * *' WASHINGTON - The Senate formally ratified the new three- year international wheat agreement yesterday by a vote of 79 to 0. The agreement, signed in Washington last spring, is aimed at assuring supplies of wheat and wheat flour to importing countries and providing markets for exporters at equitable and stable prices. To Postpone Final Action In Health Bill WASHINGTON (R) - The Sen- ate decided yesterday to postpone final action on the health care for the aged bill until next week but reached an agreement to limit debate. After a long round of negotia- tions, majority leader Mike Mans- field (D-Mont.), won unanimous consent for an agreement expected to bring final action on the mea- sure next week. The crucial preliminary vote will come July 17, on a motion to table and thus kill the Kennedy Admin- istration's Social Security health care plan. The debate limitation agreement takes effect tomorrow but Mans- field said all the rest of this week will not be devoted to the health legislation. It will be put aside temporarily for other important matters, he explained. The agreement provides for four hours of debate on the Adminis- tration's proposal in the event it is not 'tabled next Tuesday. It also allocates four hours each to two Republican substitutes to be offered by Sens. Leverett Sal- tonstall (R-Mass.), and by Pres- cott Bush (R-Conn.). Governor May Call Troops' To Quell Klan ATLANTA (P) - Gov. Ernest Vandiver angrily threatened yes- terday to call out the National Guard if necessary to quell any future Ku Klux Klan attempts at staging rallies on state pro- perty. Vandiver denounced the hooded order for a clash with state troop- ers Saturday night at nearby Stone Mountain. "I will not in the future allow any demonstrations on state pro- perty whether they be by the NAACP or the Ku Klux Klan," Vandiver said. His threat of armed force was answered by two Klan leaders. "We will use all peaceful means to protect our rights," Georgia Klan Dragon Calvin Craig of At- lanta, said, "even if the governor calls out a thousand armed na- tional guardsmen or has his friend United States Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy bring in the Federal Army." Imperial Wizard Robert M. Shel- ton of Tuscaloosa, Ala., disputed Vandiver's statement that Klans- men "stuck women and children out in front to lead their fight" in tangling with troopers. the public, the doctors and the government. Lord Taylor, adneuro- psychiatric specialist, played a leading role in drafting Britain's free medical care plan in 1948. Taylor commented on the Sas- katchewan plan in a recent letter to the British medical magazine "Lancet." He said one aspect of the program seemed to give the government undue control over doctors. That is the argument of the practicing physicians of the province, most of whom have been on strike since the plan became effective July 1. The act, designed to provide medical care for everyone, is 1- nanced by single-person and fam- ily assessments and by general taxation. While there is freedom of choice in doctors, the doctors must accept state regulated fees from the government. Austrian Doctors Strike New Fund VIENNA (P) - Austrian doctors staged a 24-hour strike yesterday and ran into limited counter- action following denunciation of the doctors' walkout by Austrian trade unions. The doctors said they struck because the Vienna sickness compensation fund was unfair to them in the matter of fees. -99M s Dresses Coats Suits Hats Handbags.
