u. S.-Joponese Medical Team
Treats Rddidtion-Burned Crew

Kyodo said eight other fish,
ing boats arriving in port from
central Pacific fishing grounds
were found to be slightly radio
active, but none of the fish was
contaminated and crewmen
were uninjured.
The radioactivity presumably
was picked up from contaminat-
ed sea water.
The % crewmen aboard the
Fukuryu Maru estimated they
were 80 miles from the blast
described in Washington as a
thermonuclear hydrogen ex-
plosion. They insisted they were
outside the danger zone pre-
scribed by the United States.
Japanese scientists said they
were showered by pulverized
coral hurled into the air by the
terrific blast, described by some
experts as at least 600 times
more powerful than the A-bomb
explosion which destroyed Hiro-
Shima.
United States Senator John
Pastore, Democrat, of Rhode
Island, arrived last night from
the Bikini test area. A State
Department spokesman said he

Monfoney 10 Press !
For Open Hearings
On Security Risks.
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Senator Monroney, Democrat,
OF Oklahoma said today he will
press for further public inquiry
into assertions by some Repub-
hcans that 2.486 security risks"
have left the Government pay
roll in the last year.
Open inquiry sessions are es-
sential If the public is to learn
whether even one of the persons
involved was Communist or
subversive, Senator Monroney
said.
But Senator Carlson, Repub-
lican. of Kansas, chairman Of
the Post Office and Civil Service
Committee. which has held two
open hearings on the matter,
said in a separate interview he
thought no more sessions were
needed.
He added he was sure this was
the view of the majority of his
committee, which Republicans
control. 7-6.
Total of 2.486 Supplied.
Civil Service Commission
Chairman Philip Young, who tes-
titled at both of the hearings
held so far. supplied the total of
2,486 security risks"
This was the latest upward re-
vision of a figure which started
at 1,456 last october when Presi-
dent Eisenhower announced that
this number had been separated
from the payroll as security
risks"
Democrats charge that other
high Republicans have sought to
give the impression that the
total represented Communists or
disloyal employees left over from
the Democratic administration.
Mr.. Young testified that Of
the 2,486 separated employees, 429
had information in their files
indicating subversive activity or
associations.
But he conceded he could not
say that this data resulted in the
firing or resignation of even a
single one of the employees. He
said that in at least some cases
1t was highly possible the sepa-
ration resulted from informa-
ton that the employee talked or
drank too much or had been con-
vlcted of a misdemeanor in the
past.
Carlson Satisfied.
Senator Carlson said he
thought the information SUD-
Piled by Mr.. Young met the
needs of his committees inquiry.
He said the important thing was
that the individuals no longer
worked for the government. i
Senator Monroney contended
that since Mr.. Young was un-
able to say exactly why the g.
486 persons left Government
service, the security officers of
the various departments ought
to be called before the COM
mittee.
The Oklahoman said these
were among the points which the
security officers should be asked:
l. Whether the 1,40O persons
who resigned out of the 2,486>
separations were notified that
there was any derogatory in
formation IN their flies. ,~'-
2 Whether in any of the cases
of the 429 persons listed as hav-
ing subversive information in
their files, an evaluation of 1t
was made by a security officer
with training in the field or by
an inexperienced one.
3. Whether any security
charges were filed against the l.
086 employees out of the 2,486
who were fired. or whether they
were dismissed under other UNI
suitability procedures long used
in the Government.

You're foolish to waste your
newly acquired dating privileges
sitting around waiting for Ralph
to come through with an invita-
ton. Since it is apparently wen
known at school that he's dating
at least two girls. the other boys
shouldn't expect you to sit home

code says hands off," when it

girl. you certainly can't be con-
sidered as Ralph's steady. Do
