tests and become apprehensive

hand. his fears can be allayed by
the assurances of those who see no
harm in continuing the tests.
DR.. Libby has estimated that, as
OF last spring, a total Of 10 MILL
CURES of strontium-90 per square
mile had been deposited in the soil
Of the Upper Midwestern United
States. One millicurie emits the
same amount Of radioactivity as
l/28.000th Of an ounce OF ra-
dunn. This doesn't seem TO be
enough strontium- 80 to worry about
until another scientist declares
that barely more than a teaspoonful
is sufficient to kill every man,
woman and child on earth.
DR.. Libby also was consoling
when he reported that. due TO the
rate Of shakespeare fallout and the
rate OF radioactive decay, all the
tests In the past two years have
made no change in the amount Of
strontium-90 In the stratosphere
from two years ago. He also said
that because Of this compensating
factor, the amount OF strontium-eO

7. Deep South
By RALPH McGILL

Eoltor' the Atlanta tGaJ constitution
The Deep South States of Geor-
gia. Alabama, Mississippi and South
Carolina appear to be safely in the
Democratic electoral college for
1856.
The possible exception is South
Carolina, where the third party
movement again strongly is backed
by former Gov. James F. Byrnes
and by Senator Strom Thurmond
However, these same two leaders
were among those who sought to
take the State away from Adlai
Stevenson in 1852. 1t is not be-
lieved likely that Mr.. Byrnes will
have more influence today than
then, since he is not now the Gov
ernor. In 1852 all four of these
States went Democratic, Georgia
giving Stevenson the largest ma
jority received in any of the States
he carried.
For the second time since 1852,
Georgia's 5th congressional dis
trict, now represented by Congress-
man James Davis, offers a Repub-
lican candidate. Randolph Thrower,
an able young lawyer, is campaign
ing against Mr.. Davis and will re-
ceive a very substantial vote. His
prospects for victory are not good.
but his candidacy does emphasize
that Georgia has made considerable
progress in developing Republic
can Party.

Mr.. Eisenhowers personal popu-

and the growth and prosperity Of
its major population centers COM
bine to overshadow other campaign
issues. There seems to be little
concern over the Presidents health.
the peace issue or communism and
the other matters so lively in 1852.
There is some farm and ranch
discomfort, evidenced by the poll
takers findings that Ike has only
40 per cent of the farm vote-but
still more than Stevenson's farm
support because of the undecided
element. Low-income workers ted

but the margin is not wide. All
four incumbent Congressmen-two
Democrats and two Republican,
are expected to retain their seats
this year.

votes. This year the margin is ex-
pected to be much slimmer-but
whether the Stevenson efauver
team can win back enough voters
to overcome the Republican lead
is difficult to say.
An unknown and perhaps deci-
Sive factor is how many thou
sands of Florida voters will cast
their ballots November 6. Registra-
ton figures (incomplete) are way
up. Dade (MiamD County for ex-
ample, has about 10000 new voters.
Registered Democrats outnumber
Republicans approximately to l
in the State. However, this is Just
about par for the course. Countless
would-be Republicans register
Democratic so they can have
vote in such important State cleo
tons as Governor, State legislators,
etc. These races are virtually settled
in the May primaries, although
the COP. does run opposition
candidates in November in many
cases.
A significant factor favoring Mr..
Stevenson is that all the Demo-
cratic political leaders. including
United States Senators Spessard L.
Holland and George Smathers, are
actively working for the ticket.
Senator Holland and others boy
cotted it in 1852.

Offices in the Democratic column.
Since the League first entered
slate of candidates in the June pri-
mary election in 1916, it filed its
candidates as Republicans.
That situation made the June
primary election the real election
in North Dakota as the nominees in
the Republican column, with few
exceptions, would win handily in
the November election over candi-
dates from the minority Demo-
cratic Party.
This years development, how
ever. did not carry the entire men,
bership of the League into the
Democratic ranks. Staunch Re-
publican leaguers refused to move.
They joined with the anti-League
Republican faction in endorsing
slate of candidates.
No one disagrees that the move
strengthened the Democratic Party.
But the general opinion. and that
includes many Democratic leaders,
says that North Dakota will again
go for Mr.. Eisenhower.

DR.. Lapp-along with some other
scientists-also questions whether
it is safe to apply the Aces MPC
unit to the general population,
since the Acc unit was established
Tor healthy adults working under
controlled Acc laboratory condi-
tons. These scientists can also give
convincing evidence that the
strontium-90 limit for the total
population should be about 10 per
cent Of the MPC established by the
Acc. II such is the case. DR.. Libbys
figure of 1Il,000th Of an MPC now
lodged in human bone would be re-
vised to l/l00th Of an MPC.
Genetieists Fearful, Too
Augmenting the fear in scientific
circles that bomb test fallout will
harm generations now living. some
geneticists have expressed concern
over the long-term effects OF radia-
ton on the human race.
None Of the scientists who oppose
continuing the tests contend that
strontium-90 levels are dangerous
now. They do argue, however, that
there is little reason 10 believe that
testing will be held down TO its
present rate. Britain will test
super bomb this winter, and they
fear other countries, such as
France, Sweden and Canada. will
soon follow. DR.. Lapp, who has a
rather extensive Pentagon back
ground is certain that the De-
Tense Department will request Acc
permission 70 test bomb Of so or
go megaton calibre--three times
larger than any tested 70 date.
And this Is where this confused
discussion stands at the moment
with equally expert experts in vide
disagreement over matter that
involves the life or death OF the
worlds population Az any rate,
nobody-not even the AEc-agrees
any longer with the ACC booklet
published in 1850 which only now
Is being revised. saying that fears
concerning the danger Of world
vice fall-out are "groundless."

The man who knows how Min

here. The biggest of these is Cater
pillar Tractor Company, whose
2l,000-plus workers are represented
by Walter Reuther's UAW-CIO.
The farm issue will not switch
many votes but it will stimulate
farmers to go to the polls. In the
same way, the charges Of big busi-
ness representation in the Eisen-
hover administration will not
swing many votes, but they will
stimulate labor-minded workers to
vote.
Among what might be called the
big middle groups that break the
balance, the fact of peace and eco
nomic well-being is potent plus
for the Republican administration
while persistent questions about
the Presidents health provide the
biggest barrier. Few people take
the rest of the so-called tissues"
very seriously.
1t appears likely that the Repub-
lican national candidates will carry
this area but not as big as in 1852.
while in the State election the scene
is so confused that anything can
happen.

BY BOB HOLLINGSWORTI
Political Writer, Dallas Times Herald

POLITICAL writer, DhllhS Times t1eIdlu
Most of the political signs in
Texas point to the States return
to its traditional home. safely in
the Democratic fold.
President Eisenhower's supporters
using his popularity as lever
are fighting belatedly but furiously
to bend those signs the other way
and are making Roadway, but it re-
mains an uphill battle.
The President, capitalizing on the
burning tidelands issue and con-
sentative reaction against "Tru-
manism." swept Texas in 1852 by
$4,000 votes to become the second
Republican in history to win there.
It was, however, essentially vic
tory engineered by Democrats who
asked votes for Mr.. Eisenhower, not
for a Republican. The entire ma
chinery of the States Democratic
Party, led by then powerful Gov.
Allan Shivers, backed the Presi-
dent as Democrats for Eisen-
hover"
The big point IN Texas is that
after almost three and a half years
of bitter inflghting, the Democratic
Party is now safely in the hands of
Senator Lyndon johnson, Speaker
Sam Rayburn. and Senator Price
Daniel, 1852 Eisenhower supporter
but now strict party man who will
become Governor in January.
With a hefty "a electoral votes
at stake, the Johnson Rayburn-led
campaign was pushed off to an
early and effective start-helped
along by a soaring seven-year
drouth, an unpopular tight money"
policy, establishment over presi-
dental support of civil rights meas
ures, and the veto of the natural
gas bill which Texas Democrats
helped steer through Congress.
Gov. Shivers is again leading a
Democrats for Eisenhower move
ment, but the fervor and enthusi-
asm that marked the 1852 CRU
SADIE" is absent.
Republicans are numerically
stronger. but remain force only
in metropolitan centers such as
Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth
and only when aided by conserva-
tive Democrats.
Mr.. Eisenhower will likely carry
those areas-by smaller majorities
than in 1852.

Barring only a mighty reversal Of
public thinking, President Eisen-
hover seems certain to capture
Colorado's six electoral votes this
year.
A recent poll taken by independ-
ent specialists for the Denver Post
indicate Mr.. Eisenhower is almost
as popular in Colorado as in 1852,
when he took so per cent of the
total vote. This agrees with the
overwhelming opinion of political
writer's and the politicians them
selves.
The latest poll shows Mr.. Essen

In the Blue Grass State, where

Kentucky's 10 electoral votes.
But it appears likely that Ken

Republican: Senator Earle c. Gle

the Senate, and former Ambassador
to India John Sherman Cooper, Re-

The States congressional delega-

Republicans. probably will remain
unchanged.

election this year is Gov. A. B.

himself with urging votes for his

President Eisenhower carried

majority four years ago to put the
States Is electoral votes in the
Republican column for the first
time since 1924. This year. most
prediction straws indicate he will

There is evidence that some
ethnic group voters who voted for
him four years ago intend to vote
for Adlai Stevenson on November 6.
Aid to Israel, Endorsed by Demo-
Gratis, constitutes perhaps the most
impelling issue behind the indi-
Gated shift. But peace and the
