AgoKhon, at 2O6 Pounds, Flies
For Platinum Weighing in Rite

81 Million for
10th Anniversary

KARACHI. Pakistan. Jan. 80.
- The Ismaili Moslems are
Weighing the Aga Khan again
here this week.-Mrs. time against
about 100000 worth OF plati-
mum, actual or simulated.
The Aga Khan. portly spiritual
leader of the sect. is flying to
Karachi tonight for the public
weigh-in Wednesday before more
than $4,000 Of his 20 million
followers.
His weight has become SYM
bolic guide to the charity and
betterment plans Of the Ismail-
ians. At last reports three weeks
ago, he tipped the beam at 206
pounds.
Celebrating his 10th year as
head of the Ismaili Moslems. he
will ease into the golden throne
Of a special scales set up at the
center of stadium the size Of a
football field while his jubilant
followers pile blocks of the
precious metal-or a substitute
if he so decides-on the counter
balancing platform.
His followers already have con-
tributed more than 50 million
for the platinum jubilee. But
leaders of the Aga Khan's jubi-
lee committee were reticent as
to whether actual platinum
quoted at $92 an ounce in New
York markets-will be used.
His royal highness instructed
us not to spend any money on
platinum" said the committee Is
leader. $50 we are unable to
say until he arrives exactly how
the weighing will be handled"
Pending a final decision. the
committee has made arrange
ments with Swiss banks to bor-
row 206 pounds of platinum
plus small reserve-just In case
the Aga Khan has gained
weight. The plan was to fly the
metal to Pakistan secretly and
return it the same way-to avoid
loss in buying and then selling
such a large quantity.
One report here said the plat
mum has already arrived and Is
being held in government strong
boxes.
The practice of weighing the
Aga Khan against precious metal
and jewels began when his fol-
lowers observed the golden an
niversary of his leadership. Ten
years later the Moslem leader
was weighed in at Bombay stad-
ium at a hefty 244 pounds which
his followers matched with SIS
million worth of diamonds. A
second diamond jubilee weigh
ing was held later at Oar Els
Salaam. Tanganyika, Africa.
Each time the Aga Khan re-
turns the donations for charity
or Improvement. This years
gifts will be used to form a
platinum jubilee finance cor
poration" to furnish business
loans for the Ismaili sect.

made the first sketch Of Q theo-
retical H-bomb.
In q report to Congress. the
Acc said crisply that atomic
weapons are being produced at
the rate directed by the Presi-
dent"
President Eisenhower. in his
speech to the United Nations
last December calling for a
world pooling Of atomic re-
sources for peaceful purposes.
said:
To-day the United States
stockpile of atomic weapons
which, Of course, increases daily,
exceeds by many times the ex-
plosive equivalent Of the total
of all bombs and all shells that
came from every plane and every
gun in every theater of war
through all the years Of World
War H."
Further improvements.
Yesterdays Acc report said
Improvements continue to be
made in weapon design and
fabrication" This obviously in
cluded work on. the H-bomb, a
test design of which was ex-
ploded at the mid-Pacif1c prov
ing grounds in the fall Of 1852.
The Acc report said the
Livermore laboratory was estab-
lished "in order to augment
research in the field of weapons
and to gain wider participation
in the program by scientists"
of the University of California
and other institutions in that
area.
THE present employment
at Livermore is approximately
1900" the report said.
Nowhere in the report was
the thermometer, or H-bomb,
mentioned by name.

OF Atomic Work
In All lis Phases
B. the A..oeIossd prsss !

The Atomic Energy Com
mission. yesterday reported q
stepped-up tempo In all phases
Of its research and development
programs. both military and
civilian.
Highlights included:
1. Progress is being made on
q nuclear power plant that will
drive atomic submarines under
water even faster than the two
now building.
Q. The outlook for building
and fueling reactors for indus
trial atomic power ct cost that
could compete with conventional
energy has frightened in the last
six months.
8. An A-bomb by-product.
hitherto wasted, Is going to be
put to work heating 20 buildings
at the Hanford, Wash. pluton-
ium-making plant. This will save
the Government is million gall
Ions Of fuel oil annually.
4. In the medical field. promis-
ing research has been made
toward using radioactive thulium
in a portable device, needing no
power supply. which could take
the place Of an X-ray machine.
Such q device could be carried
about on a battlefield. for
example.
5. The Acc stated oficially for
the first time that a weapons
research laboratory" has been
operating at .Livermore, Calf :,
since June. 1852. Heretofore,
the commission has referred to
the Livermore project simply as
a research laboratory. However,
it became publicly known last
May that much Of the work on
the hydrogen bomb has centered
there.

Reds Probably Seek
Rule Of Outer Space,
Women sparIey Told

Russia may be pushing for
control Of outer space as a
means Of conquering the earth,
the Women's Forum on National
Security was told yesterday.
Samuel Pryor. executive vice
president of Pan American World
Always, told the group during q
meeting yesterday in the Hotel
Statler that the suns rays might
be focused on the earth from a
man-made satellite revolving in
outer space.
"Whoever with intent to con-
troll the world by force first
constructs and operates such a
satellite may be able to reduce
any country it likes to ashes"
he said. "Only those in caves
might survive-if they could
find enough vegetation to sustain
life when they came out"
Germans Studied Project.
German scientific material
captured after World War II. he
recalled. revealed that German
scientists had carried out techni-
cal details for the satallite. which
would revolve around the earth
In an orbit 600 miles away.
A giant mirror based on the
satellite could concentrate the
suns rays on small area of the
earth or spread them over a
large area, he said.
He added there is definite"
reason to believe the Russians
not only share the paper knowl-
edge of such an earth satellite
but also have in their control
some German scientists who
worked on the project.
Such a mirror. focused on
London, New York, Chicago or
San Francisco, might be able to
burn to a crisp in a matter Of
minutes every man, animal,
plant, tree or shrub" he told
the group.
Spiritual Reawakening.
Another speaker. the Rev. Ed
ward L. r. Elson of National
Presbyterian Church. said the
dedication of Government lead
ers to the way of faith and
prayer" is the most significant
evidence of a moral resurgence
and spiritual awakening in this
Nation.
DR.. ElSon, who counts Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Secretary
of State Dulles among his con-
gregation, said that America can
become a baStion of spiritual
power to the world through
those in whom God is dominant. :"
The session last night closed a
three-day meeting of the group,
which includes representatives of
IL national women'S patriotic
organizations.

BY JOE HALL

WASHINGTON Up - President
Eisenhower scored a big victory
for his 1854 tax program in Senate
Finance Committee action yester-
day on the omnibus tax revision
bill.
The committee voted by the n
expectedly wide margin of 8 to 4,
with two abstentions, to accept the
last remaining major provision in
the House-passed bill - the con.
troversial plan to give substantial
tax relief to stockholders on divi-
dend income.
This provision - strongly sought
by the administration - involves
the biggest revenue loss in the bill
except for the accelerated depreci-
alton section which the committee
approved Thursday.
The Senate group now expects
to clean up work on the 875-page
measure next Monday or Tues.
day. However, the staff will have
lot of drafting work to do so the
bill is not expected to be ready
for the floor until about June 81.
One big question that still may
come up in the committee is q
proposal for a general income ia,
cut by raising personal ex
emptionS.
One veteran member, who de
clined use of his name, said thu
chance for a general reduction has
been improved greatly by the
groups decision to retain the divi
dend income relief provision.
This also was the view of Sen
George (D-Ga), senior committe,
Democrat. Asked after the. vot'
yesterday whe Their the &C
ton frightened the chances for /;

kind, he said:

do anything for 30 per cent Of the
taxpayers"
George came up yesterday with
a surprise plan which he offered
as a substitute for the dividend
relief section. It would give q $40
tax credit to each taxpayer, who
would be entitled to knock this
amount off his payment each year.
It was rejected 10 to 1 with one
committee member not voting. Re.
publicans Immediately speculated
this was the Democratic substi.
tute for the broader income tax
relief plan previously sponsored by
George and two fellow Democrats
on the committee, Senator'S Kerr
(Okla) and Frear (DeD.
But George declined to confirm
this. He said he still might offer
the earlier proposal in the com.
mittee next week. This would Gu,
income taxes $4,000, 900, 900 the first
year by raising personal exemp'
tons $500 and bring a 81, 800, 900, 00C
annual reduction starting in 1855
by a $40 exemption hike.
Estimates varied on the revenue
loss from the $40 credit plan
George said it would be about Sst
millions a year. Finance commit

was at least 81, 800, 000, 900.
