Detection on the hitherto
hypothetical and elusive smallest
particle of matter. the neutrino
was announced today by the
Atomic Energy Commission.
1t is so small that it has been
impossible in the past actually
to demonstrate its existence.
It could travel with essentially
the speed of light through solid
matter for billions Of miles,
the commissions announcement
says.
The neutrino is one of the
constituent particles of the
atom. together with electrons,
protons. neutrons and the newly
established mesons. Its exist
ence has been postulated in the
past by some of the most emf
nent of atomic physicists as
necessary for some of the phe-

Firm Stand Blocks
Wur, Brucker Says

NEW ORLEANS, June 81 R),
Secretary Of the Army Brucker
said yesterday that both world
wars and Korea might have been
avoided If the United States had
adopted firm position.
Mr.. Brucker said. 1.-THE ques-
ton has always been left in the
minds Of our enemies as to
whether or not we would be will
ling to fight for what we believed
to be right.
"The take-a-chance attitude
of the part Of would-be con-
Iquerors has plunged the world
into the great wars of our gem
Grafton. With the chance re-
moved, the picture looks entire
ly different to any potential ag-
lgressor."
Mr.. Brucker explained his
views in a speech before the
Both annual meeting Of the Re-
serve Officers Association of the
United States.
He said the Russians have
offered mo evidence that they
have abandoned their long
range aim to make the hand
that Yields the hammer and

To 81 Weeks
OF LayOff Pay
BY the Associated Press

The steel industry has COM
United itself to a 52-week sup
elemental iayof pay plan which
means it will inevitably be in
Icluded in the new steel labor
contract with or without strike.
Extending supplemental unem-
lployment benefits. or sub pay
Iments as they have come to be
known, to 650,000 steelworkers
Twill increase the number COW
lered by such plan to nearly two
million workers.
Provides Full Year
More than one million auto
workers already have the bene-
fits. which supplement regular

Ition payments
/ Where the auto plan pledges
benefits for jobless> periods of
lup 10 rs weeks. or half a year
the steel offer provides for sup
elemental ..oblesS aid for as long
Jas a fun year.
The auto plan provides a COM
Ibination of State and private
ljobless benefits to equal up to 65
lper cent of take-home pay, for
-four weeks of unemployment and
$50 per cent for the remaining
l22 weeks. Take-home pay is
figured as earnings less taxes.
The steel plan would pay up
to IS per cent of take-home pay
flor the entire period of unem-
lployment. up to year.
Even though a 52-week sup
lplement unemployment benefits
plan is bound to be included in
the eventual steel settlement,
major phases of the plan still
are in disagreement.
Pegged on $50 of Pay
For example, the steel COM
Ipanies have proposed to base
supplemental jobless aid pay
Iments on SIS per cent of average
take home pay earned in a three
month period preceding the
workers layoff from his job.
4 The steel workers union says
this would mean the employer
financed benefits would amount
to very little. Steel workers al
ready have a contract provision
providing that in slack steel pro-
dLction periods the work week
can be reduced to 80 hours to
share available work.
The union maintains that be-
fore any stable number of lay
Ioffs the work week would be re.
duced so benefits would be baseC
