HEARD 170 MILES AWAY: Atomic Blasts Jolt Desert; Both Explosions Same Da LAS VEGAS, Nev. (P-For the first time, two atomic devices were exploded in one day yesterday. One was a whopper heard "like thunder" 170 miles away, the other a pink-tinted shot dropped from a, plane five hours later. The nuclear double feature roared its opening when a device estimated to equal 20,000 tons of TNT reduced its 500-foot tower to stubs of twisted metal. It gave Las Vegas a mild jolt and appeared similar in force to the other major test of the spring series, held last March 7. But be- cause of overcast skies it was less spectacular, being seen in only five states. The previous spectacle was seen border to border through- out the West. Six hundred soldiers crouched in trenches 3,500 yards away on the Yucca Flat test site. Then they went in to look at the large amount t of military equipment exposed to IFC, Daily OK Change Of Policy Judicial Actions To Be Covered Fraternity p r e si d e n t s last night approved a policy for Daily coverage of judicial actions han- dled by the Interfraternity Coun- cil executive committee. The policy recommendation, ar- rived at in consultation with The Daily, provides that the IFC pres- ident will announce names of fra- ternities, nature of violations, pen- alties and extenuating circum- stances in cases handled by the executive committee. Executive committee meetings will be open to the press. When ju- dicial matters involving fraterni- ties are discussed the reporter will leave the meeting. Information Given After the meeting the reporter will confer with the president who will provide the following infor- mation: 1) The name of the fraternity committing the violation. 2) The nature of the violation. 3) The disciplinary action or fine levied. 4) Any extenuatng circum- stances necessary to put the rul- ing in its proper context. The Daily, after writing the story, will check it with the IFC president and the highest avail- able officer at the house involved for any additional comment. Last night's action, taken with one dissenting vote, followed a dis- cussion last week between the ex- ecutive committee and The Daily where the policy was unanimously adopted. Weinbaum Comments mendation for the executive com- Presenting the policy recom- mendation for the executive com- mittee, IFC President Bob Wein- baum, '56, said -"the new policy will promote uniformity and ac- curacy in the publication of IFC judicial rulings" At present the executive com- mittee is empowered to handle cases where member fraternities violate IFC by-laws. These infractions range from il- legal rushing or pledging proce- dures to violent hazing and pledge class activities which violate the by-laws. Weinbaum. said Joint Judiciary Council officials have indicated the IFC action would have no ef- fect upon the present Judic policy of withholding names in group vi- olations. Driving Ban Discussion House presidents were also treated to a discussion of the driv- ing ban with representatives from the Office of Student Affairs. Dean of Men Walter B. Rea, In- vestigator Harold E. Swoverland and Assistants to the Dean of Men Karl D. Streiff, and John k. Bingley answered presidents' ques- tions about present enforcement of the ban. Presidents were generally criti- cal of the present regulation. Some, discussion centered on the fact that the ban penalizes the hon- est student and places a premium on a student's ability to lie and get away with it.

Y la J ELECTION TODAY: SGC Sets First Vote On Officers By DAVE BAAD Record Atom Radioactive Waves Here By GAIL GOLDSTEIN Radioactive waves from the re- cent atomic tests in Nevada have been recorded here; Located about 75 miles from Las Vegas, previous blasts took place March 12. Indication of the blasts was received here on March 16. These waves were recorded on the air monitor at the public health school. The monitor is kept going con- tinuously 24 hours a day in con- nection with part of the Universi- ty safety o'perations. The Radio- logical Safety Department which is in, charge of this monitor is lo- cated atthe public health school. According to Prof. Gerald M. Ridenour, Radiological Safety Of- ficer, the radiation was less than twice the normal background ra- diation in the air all the time. This low-lived radiation is of little dan- ger to the public. Normal background radiation is about .04 of a milliroentgen (the measuring unit for radioactivity). The fall-out pushed it up to .08 where it stayed for about four hours, Prof. Ridenour continued. Some Absorption Allowed Workers in a Government atom- ic energy plant are allowed to ab- sorb up to 300 milliroentgens of radiation every single week of the year. They can take a much higher jolt of radiation in a single expo- sure, he added. Prof. Ridenour said that the atom bomb fallout that drifted{ down on the campus from the up- per atmosphere was much less than this amount. Ann Arbor is about 1,750 miles from the site of the blast and it takes about 3 days for the radio- activity to reach Michigan. The nature of the tests at Nevada have not been disclosed to the public, according to Prof. Ridenour. Development Council Makes Charter Change Two Development Council char- ter revisions were approved at l it. I They had to clear out promptly, however, for the air burst dropped from a B36 bomber flying at more than 15,000 feet. It exploded at about 5,000 feetl and appeared as a quick yellow flash, followed by a cloud tinted with pink in the bright desert sun. It was similar to test test that opened the spring series last Feb. 18 but was much brighter. Equal to Hiroshima Las Vegas felt only a gentle rustle from the air drop. The tower shot was about equal to the ato nic bomb that devastat- ed Hiroshima. The blast gave Cedar City, Utah, 170 miles northeast of the test site, its worst jolt yet from a nuclear test. The flash was seen in Califor- nia. Oregon and Arizona as well as Nevada and Utah. Ike Attacked For .Religion WASHINGTON (P)--Sen. Jos- eph McCarthy (R-Wis.) accused Sen. Matthew M. Neely (D-W.Va.) yesterday of assaulting President Dwight D. Eisenhower on the sa- cred grounds of religion, and pledged the President "my un- qualified support." Sen. McCarthy, who has differ- ed with Pres. Eisenhower sharply on other matters, demanded that Sen. Neely apologize to the Pres- ident and the people for what he said about Pres. Eisenhower's churchgoing, in a speech Monday at Cleveland. Sen. Neely accused the President of making an "ungodly" parade of his religion. hat nts in- to- in nts. one 'BUD" STEVENS ... uncovered on cover of the men pictured, former var- sity golfer Malvin "'Bud" Stevens, has transferred to an East Lan- sing institution. Many faculty members criticized not only the choice of subjects but use of the entire back cover for the picture, claiming it was a poor layout and poor utilization of space. S o m e 20,000 announcements have been printed but not yet cir- culated Walter said. Time lost in planning a new layout and re- printing the books was the major factor in the decision to use the present stock of announcements, he added. Contacted in Detroit, Stevens said the appearance of his picture, standing next to Russell Bucci, '55BAd, completely surprised him. "It was taken when we were fresh- men," the MSC senior said. 'U' President To Address Union Banquet Retiring Union president Tom Leopold, '55, announced last night that University President Harlan H. Hatcher has been engaged to address the Union's annual In- stallation Banquet, Wed., April 13.

Meeting at 7:30 p.m. today in the Union, the new student gov- ernment will also choose a vice- president and treasurer. Good, nominated more than a week ago for the presidency will probably oppose Hank Berliner, '56, who is expected to be nominat- ed from the floor.

Other candidates for president may be nominated from the floor tonight. Netzer Noninated Miss Netzer, the only nominated candidate for vice-president, will likely be opposed by Bob Leacock, '57, and Joel Tauber, '57. All three are former SL mem- bers with Miss Netzer holding a cabinet position during the last term. Leacock with a record-smashing 682 votes and Tauber ran one-two in the recent SGC elections. Bill Adams, '57, who served as SL treasurer during its final weeks, is the only nominee for SGC treas- urer. Adams may get opposition from candidates dropping down after defeat running for other positions.
