Marshall islanders
Ask End Of H-Tests
sy III. A.soeis..d Pres.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
May 15.-Citing evidence of phys
ical injury. people of the far
flung Marshall Islands have ur-
gently appealed for an immedi-
atA end to the United States
hydrogen bomb tests affecting
them.
If the tests must continue,
they said, proper safety precau-
tions and compensation must
be provided.
The Pacific islanders reported
that residents. of two atolls, Rom
gelab and Uterik, suffered "in
various degrees from lowering
of the blood count burns, nau-
sea and the falling of Of hair
from the head" as the result Of
the American tests with ''lethal
weapons"
The language of the petition,
signed by more than 100 Mar
shalleSe and made public by the
U. N. yesterday. indicated these
ailments resulted from the hydro
gen blast of March /. This was
the blast described in some quar-
ters as a runaway explosion. It
caused radiation burns on men
on a Japanese fishing boat.
Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.. United
State delegate, said in a state
ment that the United States
Government "is very sorry in
deed" for the i'll effects suffered
by the Marshallese people. Mr..
Lodge said 236 citizens in the
affected area were given, the
same prompt and orou g h
treatment accorded United
States personnel a in the test
group. He said he was informed
there is no medical reason to ex-
pect permanent aftereffects to
their general health due to the
falling Of radioactive materials.

anybody" The G. o. p. chair
man said the matter did not

ing conversations with individual
members.
The group in a one-day gath
ering adopted a resolution in

Neighbors said that Mr.. Hep
ner, who is a mechanic at the
Naval Gun Factory. apparently
discovered the fire because Of in
tense heat from the flames in
the walls.
A. D. Baker, whose family lives
next door, said Mr.. Hepner ran
outside the building to give an
alarm.
Dense smoke poured into the
open apartment unit and the
heat was described as unbearable.

bors who rushed up with ladders.
Many occupants made their
way outside alone.
Threatened to Jump.
Mrs. Reginald Hepner sat on
a window ledge for 10 minutes
awaiting rescue. She yelled sew
eral times to onlookers that the
heat was so intense that she
planned to Jump but the neigh.
bors convinced her to stay until
the ladders could be placed.
Robert Baker. who lives at 38O6
Hamilton street, was one Of the
nearby residents who ran to the
scene with a ladder. He helped
Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Baker re-
move their three young children.
His ladder was not long
enough, however, to reach to the
Hepner apartment because the
ground at that point slopes away
from the building.

the wisdom Of voting for an in
crease SO soon before an election
in which they are candidates.
After the election, the outlok
may be different.
Instead Of voting themselves
more take-home pay, House
members may decide to give
themselves q larger allowance
for Office help. Some of them are
considering increasing Office pay
allowances as an amendment to
the annual congressional ap-
preparation bill scheduled for
House action early next month.
House members now may not
pay any Office employe more
than approximately $500 annu-
ally. Thir overall Office payroll
Is limited to an estimated $21 500.
Senators several years ago
voted to give themselves an adj
ministrative assistant at an an
nual salary Of $11,6OO. Strong
sentiment is developing in the
House to provide administrative
assistants for the Representa-
tives at the same salary paid to
the senatorial helpers.
