H-BOmb Warhead For Missiles Is Now Possible

WASHINGTON, R-The Air Force says a major scientific breakthrough has assured hydro gen Warheads light and handy enough to be carried by long range missiles of reasonable size"

 The testimony was given by Maj. Gen. s. R. Brentnall, assis- tant chief of staff for guided mis- siles, and Maj. Gen. Bernard A. Schreiver, who is in direct charge of the long range missile program.
 A House Appropriations sub committee made public a censored version of their testimony Sunday.
 Brentnall said missile develop ment was long stymied because of the size of the Warhead. But he said the advent of lightweight high-yield Warheads' has simpli- fled many technical problems and assured eventual success.
 Schreiver said the big job now is to plan and put together the complex system required to oper- ate accurate missiles. He did not say how long that might take.

Kefauver Bids For Alaska Vote, Asks Statehood

SEATTLE, R-Sen. Estes Ke- fauver, here on a quick circuit ot the Pacific Northwest to seek sup port for the Democratic presiden- tial nomination, did a little Woo- ing of the Alaska vote also, and pumped for statehood for the ter ritory Saturday.
 II would like very much" he said in a speech, ito help the President and the Republican Party keep their promise toward Alaska. And for Hawaii as well. Here it is almost the end of the Eisenhower era and Alaska is as far from being a state as 1t ever was.
 Neither have I seen any inter est on the part of this adminiStra- tion in reducing absentee control of Alaska's resources and indus tries. Neither has anything con- structive been done about reduc- ing the freight rates which have effectively isolated the territory.
 II am told 1t is often cheaper to ship goods from this port to the Orient for less than it takes to ship them to Alaska. am also told the cost of transporting saln- on from Alaska to Seattle is great CT than the fishermen are paid for their fish.
 "In fairness and decency to the people of Alaska, and in view of the needs to further develop your port here in Seattle, something must be done about these things I suggest that nothing will ever be done about them by the Repub- licans."

Black Bear Quadruplets Find Foster Home When Mother Is Trapped

CRAY, Maine. R-A rarity of the animal kingdom-black bear quadrup1ets-have found foster home at the state game farm here.
 According to available records, the two-month-old baby bruins are the second quadruplets of their species ever captured in the northeast.
 Experts say twins are quite common among black bears and triplets rather unusual.
 The cubs and their mother re- gently ambled out of a den in the Wild River section of Gilead. They were spotted by motorists, who stopped and treed three of the youngsters. The mother lum- bered off with the fourth.
 Game Warden Leon Wilson and Wayne Lindsay saved the three from boupty-eag cap tors and brought them to the game farm. The mother fell prey to a trapper but Wilson rescued the fourth cub.

Khrushchev Says us. Is Moving
 Toward Cooperation With Russia
By STANLEY JOHNSON

MOSCOW, R-Communist Par ty Chief Nikita Khrushchev told 10000 cheering Russians today the United States is moving in the of cooperation with the Soviet Union.
 His speech was broadcast and televised throughout the Soviet Union from MoscoW's Central Airport, where Khrush- chev and Premier Nikolai Bulgan- in had just landed on their return from a 10-day tour of Britain.
 Both Bulganin and Khrushchev praised British hospitality and the results of their negotiations with Prime Minister Eden. But they. had scathing words of denuncia- tion for the Labor Party, the Brit ish socialist movement, which they accused for following "a re- actionary anti-Soviet policy"
 The bold overture to the United States indicated that Bulganin and Khrushchev aim at developing di- rect negotiations with President Eisenhower on world problems.
 It was strange forum Khrush- chev took to make the overture to Washington-a scarlet-draped po- dium at the airport where only talk of Britain had been expected.
 One of the most attentive listen CTS was US. Ambassador Charles Bohlen, who stood with his left arm in sling-the result of a ski ing accident.
 ''It seems to us," said KhruSh- chev, "that the U.S.A. is already beginning to show desirable signs of moving on the road of coopera- ton. An example was the speech President Eisenhower made to American editors Cat meeting of the American Society of NeWSpa- per Editors April 2D. We cannot agree with many things he said, because they did not help good 
 But for most of what Eisenhow- cI Sdlu, 1llSluOIllS llIS IlGSlUGIlI expressed desire for good rela- tions, Khrushchev had only praise. had said Soviet gov ernment genuinely devoted to the legitimate interests of the Russian nation "can have friendly rela- tions with the United States and the free world for the asking"
 "We hope these words will be strengthened by practical steps" Khrushchev said, peering near sightedly at his text through his Steel-rimmed spectacles.
 Eventually we may reach agreement on disarmament and have normal trade and cultural relations with the LISA"
 Khrushchev's remarks about the United States were greeted with stormy applause by the crowd.

Of protest appeared in the Wash

Comptroller reversed himself and
admitted that official legislative

The Governor contended that
this measure violated the Organic

Of the Interior is responsible for

lature had no right under the re-
vised organic act to bypass the
Secretary by designating one Of
its members to appear before Con
gress to give expressions to the
legislative views.
Here is a direct quotation from
the Governors letter:
Il call your attention to the
further fact that the Legislature,
il presenting this bill for approx
al, is asking the Governor to de-
iiberately violate that principle
Of the Organic Act and admins
