Arcaro May Delay
Choice Of Mount
Until Derby Trial
BY the AsSoeioied Press

LEXINGTON. KY, April 21.-
Eddie Arcaro, who has ridden
five Kentucky Derby winners, is
cautiously postponing announce
ment of his mount for the big
race at Louisville a week from
Saturday.
Arcaro is to ride Correspond
ent in the $25. .000-added Blue
Grass Stakes at Keeneland
Thursday, and the mile-and-an-
eighth test Of the California colt
may help him decide.
There is the possibility, too,
that Eddie might wait until
after the Derby Trial at Church
Ill Downs next Tuesday.
Arcaro has ridden Calumet
Farm horses in three of his five
Derby victories. Such a hook
up this year, however, appears
unlikely since an injury to
Breeze BY in the Ben Ali Handi-
cap last Saturday put the colt
out of the picture.
Meanwhile, the Blue Grass
shapes up as at least a seven
horse affair, with Correspondent
and Greentree Stables Straight
Face the leading contenders.
Arcaro twice has ridden Cor
respondent to impressive vic
tories here and each time the colt
owned by Mrs. Gordon Guiberson
went to the front early and
stayed there. The races were at
six and seven furlongs.
Money Broker, with AL Popara
up, is another expected starter
for the Blue Grass. The colt
from G. and G. Stables won the
recent 100000 Florida Derby.
Other colts considered likely to
start in the Blue Grass are Louis
B. Mayors Blaze, Dixiana's Ber-
seem, Cain Hoy Stables Dark
Star and Mr.. and Mrs. T. M.

Red Dawson of Pitt, Jess Hill

Frank Howard of Clemson, all
plan to separate the benches.
Just to be sure. Hill will put one

bench for untouchables.
Ed Price of Texas, George

Lynn Waldorf of California and
Bud Wilkinson of Oklahoma

NEW YORK. April 21.-If you
see a football player gallop off
the field in a game next fall and
promptly pull a different colored
jersey over his head, or if he
goes over and sits morosely on a
bench apart from his teammates,
don't get excited. He's merely
trying to avoid breaking the new
limited substitution rule!
When the Football Rules Com
mittee went back to limited sub
Stitutions last January. it Gre
ated a situation loaded with pos
sibilitieS of confusion. The rule
states that a player, once re-
moved from game, can't re-
enter during the same quarter.
except in the last four minutes OF
the second and fourth periods.
It further states that coaches
shall be responsible for the legal
ity of the return of players in any
period" There's no requirement,
as there was in the old days when
substitutions were strictly linn
tied. that an incoming player
must report to an official.
MixupS Appear Likely.
Considering how often, during
the platoon days. a haraSSed
coach or an excited team wound
up with 10 men-or 12-on the
field instead of the regulation IL,
it's easy to see how they could
get mixed up trying to sort the
ineligibles from the eligibleS.
Nobody yet has explained what
happens if a player. Illegally SUBJ

two before the mistake is de-

Fifth Atomic Blast
OF the Year Fails 10
Shock Las Vegas
BY the AsSociofed Press

LAS VEGAS, New, April IL
The fifth atomic blast of 1858,
apparently less powerful than
some before. Illuminated the pre-
dawn desert sky today as the
dramatic experiments with nu-
clear explosive powder continued.
To observers this atomic blast
seemed smaller than some of
the other shots this spring.
Viewed from here the flash was
not as bright as some of the
earlier ones. The explosion pro-
duced a relatively small white
cloud, not visible in Las Vegas.
A sound wave reached this
gambling town seven minutes
after the orange-colored explo-
sion and was heard in two Separ-
ate low rumbles. But the Earring
shock wave which often rattles
Las Vegas was not felt.
Tower Is Destroyed. f.
BY comparison, last Monday a
shock Wave-heaviest of the cur
rent SerieS-broke a plate glass
window in downtown store.
Today's experimental atomic
device was detonated at 4:45
am. (PST atop 1OO-foot
tower at Yucca Flat and the
Atomic Energy Commission in its
usual cautious announcement
said desired effects were OBJ
tanned"
It was the first time the Acc
has annuonced use of a 1OO-foot
tower. In most previous tower
shots the height has been given
as 300 feet. The tower used to-
day was completely destroyed.
In the third test this spring a
300-foot tower was only par
TALLY vaporized.
No Troops Are Used.
Four hours after the explo-
sion the Acc reported that the
radioactive cloud had travelled
southwest at an altitude of less
than 10000 feet from the blast
point. The last report on the
cloud located it over the lower
portion of Death Valley and it
was described as static.
In today's test no troops, ami
mails or automobiles were used.
Approximately 20 planes, the
usual number, were in the air
over the test site. These planes
are used to track the cloud, sur
vey the terrain and measure
radioactivity in the atmosphere.
Acc officials reported that
"fallout" of radioactive matter
from the cloud was just slightly
above normal after a check had
been made of communities south
and southwest of the blast point
and in the Death Valley area.

Work Stoppage SET
In Argentine Crisis;
Peron Fights Rumors
By the Associated Press

BUENOS AIRES. April IL
Argentina's big labor union today
called a work stoppage for next
Wednesday to back up President
Juan Peron's drive against the
high cost of living. The campaign
was demanded by the union and
already has resulted in the jail
ing of $50 merchants here.
The work stoppage, which will
last four hours in the capital and
five hours in Buenos Aires prov
ince, will permit workers to at
tend giant mass meeting at
which Gen. Peron will speak from
his balcony.
The General Confederation of
Labor (CGT), Gen. Peron's chief
source of political power, has
called 24-hour general strikes
often in crises to impress the
country with its ability to rally
the masses.
Beef Shortage in BuenOs Aires.
The CGT told Gen. Peron the
workers were growing restless
over the mounting inflationary
spiral and the beef shortage in
BuenoS Aires. He clamped on
government price ceilings COW
ering almost all essential goods
and announced that violators
would face stiff penalties: Jail
sentences, fines and permanent
closing Of stores.
Police reported today so stores
have been closed. $50 shop
keepers have been cast into
Villa Devote Federal Prison
here, and 100 new price inspec-
tors are being added every day.
Party ExpeIs Eight.
Gen. Peron has tried twice be-
fore without success to contain
initiation. Labor leaders have
warned him that wild rumorS
against his administration were
having a telling effect. AS a re-
suit. his Peronista party expelled
Col. Domingo Mercante, former
governor of Buenos Aires prov
ince, and seven members of
congress yesterday on charges
of rumor -mongering.
The ousting of Col. Mercante,
once heir apparent to Gen.
Peron's mantle, and the con-
gressmen followed by a day the
suicide of Juan Duarte, Gen.
Peron's brother-in-law.
Elections will be held tomor-
row in the newly created
provinces of Presidente Peron
and Eva Peron, formerly the
national territories of Chaco and
La Pampa. Despite the economic
crisis, Peronista candidates ap-
peared virtually assured Of
victory.

Scientist Groups Hit
Weeks Handling Of
Astin Dismissal Case

The Federation of American
Scientists and an affiliated
group, the Atomic Scientists of
Chicago, last night attacked the
Commerce Departments han
ding of the dismissal of DR..
Allen v. Astin as director of the
Bureau of Standards.
The federation said an investi-
cation by the Senate Small Bust
ness Committee should concen-
trate on the circumstances of
the dismissal rather than just
one incident that helped provoke
the ouster-a dispute over a
battery additive. The federation
also called on the Senate COM
mittee to end a Government
censorship of bureau reports on
the additive.
In Chicago, the Atomic Scien-
lists said they were profoundly
disturbed" by the "perfunctory
manner" in which Secretary of
Commerce Weeks fired DR.. Astin.
Political Influence Seen.
''By forcing Astin'S resigna-
ton in the way he has done,
the Secretary seems to us to be
bringing political influences into
an institution which has been
free of politics throughout its
50-year history" the Atomic
Scientists said.
The scientists reviewed the re-
cent dismissal of DR.. Astin for,
as Secretary Weeks said, the lack
of objectivity of the Bureau of
Standards in tests of a prepara-
ton, AD-X2, for frightening the
life of storage batteries.
They said conflicting opinions
expressed by experts about the
additive showed that the tech
meal aspect of the controversy
is complex.
Other Reasons Conceded.
There may be. of course, other
legitimate reasons why DR.. Astin
should have been fired" the
scientists continued. Assistant
Secretary of Commerce Craig
Schaeffer has told the Senate
Small Business Committee that
this is the case, but has refused
to say more"
Secretary Weeks ordered the
reports on the additive with
darwin when he dismissed DR..
Astin. Since then, businessmen
have not been able to obtain
copies.
The scientists federation
praised the Small Business Com
mittee for printing a Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology
report favorable to the additive.
But the scientists said it was
essential for the public to hear
the bureaus side, too. The
bureau opposes use of the adj
ditive in automobile batteries.
The federation asked the COM
mittee to investigate the "cir-
cumStances, motivation and wis
dom" of the Astin custer. The
committee has announced plans
for public hearings next month
on a dispute over battery addi-
tiveS. but the scientists said that
the issues in the case nov ex-
tend far beyond the adequacy
and objectivity of bureau test
ing of battery additives."
The statement from the fed
Grafton said:
"The timing and scope Of the
investigation announced by the
Senate Small Business Commit
tee on the value of the CONNER
cial product, AD-X2, suggest that
the investigation, in itself, is I'M
likely to correct the damage re-
sulting from the dismissal OF
Director Astin by Secretary
Weeks"
