No 100000 Slush Fund?
One of the highIights of the past
legislative week came Saturday in
way of an anti-climax on the highly
ballyhooed 100000 slush fund to ad-
vertise Montana. Although, few days
earlier this bill, HB96, seemed GER
tain of passage, the skeletons of HB67
and HB68 seemed to lurk constantly
in the minds of House members. Ger
tain ones reasoned that if the state
was too poor to give disabled work
er and his wife and extra five-spot on
top of the present SIT benefit, then
surely the state was too poor to go in
for such a high-falootin' advertising
for the primary benefit of the
Jude ranchers and hotels. Clark of
Silver Bow echoed the thoughts of
many in his assertion that possibly
he 200 grand could be used to better
advantage aiding needy blind, etc.

Chances seem fair that this bill will

| Plans for Secret Tests
On Pacific Isle Hint
New Atomic Weapons
BY the As.oeio,sd Pres.

Projected atomic tests behind
a curtain of absolute secrecy in
the remote Pacific suggested to-
day that American scientists
may be preparing new weapons
on the same terrible power as
the atomic bomb.
A terse announcement from the
Atomic Energy Commission disclosed
that the armed forces are making
tiny Eniwetok Atoll-1 500 miles
from the nearest large land mass
into closed-off proving grounds
for research on new fundamental
data"
What goes on there, the commits
sion said, is expected to result in
advances in peaceful as well as in
military applications OF atomic
energy"
New Tests Secret.
Asked whether a reference to
atomic weapons" means that this
country's arsenal now includes a
nuclear fission running mate for the
atom bomb, one official replied:
you can draw your own con-
clusions."

The 145 native inhabitants Of the

Bikini was unsuitable for the new

because it lacked land surface
enough for "the Instrumentation

vations which must be made"
Eniwetok itself has only about 2l4

son for choosing it, the announce

bership invitations to two George
town area citizens associations.
The proposal for. the inclusion OF
the two groups-Georgetown Citi-
zens' Association and the Progressive
Citizens Of Georgetown-was defeat
ed after heated discussion.
Proponents; led by j. S. Gorrell
OF Burleith Citizens Association
argued that because the Council
was formed to include delegates
from groups west of Rock Greek
Park and north of the Potomac
River, exclusion Of the two George
town groups implies arbitrary
discrimination. ,,,.,
Opponents, led by Gordon T.

that much of the Georgetown area
is commercial; that problems OF citi-
zens there are not those Of "us up

Gamma Rays May Unlock
Mystery OF Cancer

BOSTON, Dec. 2 (R.-The gamma
rays that cure some cancers may
also hold the clue to the unknown
causes of these malignancies, and
the radioactive atoms Of the atomic
ovens may be the keys to unlock this
great disease mystery.
This was predicted to the Radi-
illogical Society of North America
by DR.. Paul c. Abersold of the
Atomic Energy Commission, Oak
Ridge, Tenn, in telling the X-ray
experts of important new tools to
come TO them from atomic sources
X-rays in excess. and also the
gamma rays of radium, are known
to cause cancer even though they
also cure when given in correct doses
Both these, and other equally use
full radioactive rays, come from the
atomic oven radioactive atoms.
These atoms, DR.. Abersold said
can be used as tracers to explore
everything in cancer metabolism
And, he added, 1t Is reasonable to
expect that the tracer atoms will
give information on the start and
the cause of cancers as well as how
they are cured.
