FBI files to defendants in certain
circumstances resulted in House
action Tuesday. The Judiciary
Committee created q special SUBJ

decisions with an eye to cor
receive legislation.
IN the Senate, a bill sponsored
by Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat
of Wyoming. limiting disclosure Of
FBI files to relevant information"
as determined by the trial Judge,
was approved speedily by the
Senate Judiciary Committee. A
similar measure has won House
Committee approval. The meas
ure, backed by the administration,
is designed to prevent raw and
unevaluated" secret material from
informers and confidential agents
from public disclosure. Attorney
General Brownell, testifying for
the bill. said 1t was needed to
meet "a grave emergency" that
might result in cutting OF In
telligence sources and perhaps
endanger the lives of informers.

Sets Off Rumors


Construed as an invitation to
Senator Russell to visit the White
House to plead his cause, the
Presidents remarks spanked re-
ports that the administration was
willing to back of from the civil
rights program. There was the
inevitable dark talk of a deal"
just as there had been a week ago
when the Hells Canyon Federal
dam bill won in the Senate by
virtue Of a few Southern votes.
But there was no evidence to
back up the rumors. Senator
Russell, when told of the Presi-
dents press conference statement,
said only that Il should be glad
to meet with him in any circum-
stances he might prefer, alone or
with others as he might wish"
This seemed to leave the matter
up to Mr.. Eisenhower for the time
being, and the Southerners went
on with their strategy sessions.
AS preparations for the Senate
battle neared completion, prep
arations for another episode
in the civil rights controversy

Presidential Comment

At his press conference Wednes-
day, President Eisenhower re-
iterated his belief that the
psychological and political
effects" of agreement on a lin
tied test suspension justified the
scientific disadvantage involved.
Mr.. Eisenhower in effect denied
that he was now less enthusiastic
about a nuclear test suspension
since Atomic Energy Commission
Chairman Lewis L. Strauss and
three top nuclear scientists had
told him it was now possible to
make q shydrogen bomb that was
IS per cent Clean" or free of
radioactive fallout.
There continues to be determined
opposition inside the administra-
ton to any major arms cut
agreement with the Russians.
But the proposal submitted Tues
day in London is repeatedly "ac-
ceptable" to the opposition (said
to be spearheaded by Mr.. Strauss
and Admiral Radford, Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff be-
cause its limited extent would not
interfere significantly with the
nuclear weapons program. Addi-
tionally, assurances have been
given the military that full-scale
work will go on in the race to
create an effective interconti-
mental ballistics missile, and
smaller tactical nuclear weapons.
On Friday. Mr.. Stassen urged
the Soviets to join in a dismant-
ling program. He suggested that
the United States and Russia cut
down on their existing stockpiles
OF atomic and hydrogen bombs,
transferring the fashionable ma
terial in them to industrial uses.
This latest proposal. made a
part of the Tuesday offer to
suspend testing, was carefully
qualified. Mr.. Stassen, apparently
in an effort to reassure Western
Europe that United States re-
taliatory capacity would not be
weakened, said that substantial
nuclear weapons capacity" would
be retained. A second qualifica-
ton would permit the conversion
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-07-07

warned that quite q few Sena-
tors would have q lot to say when
the bill comes UP.
Senator Russell, with the air of
q man who knows his cause is
doomed but is determined to fight
to the last. challenged the civil
rights proponents Tuesday on the
Senate floor to arrange a ma
tional referendum on the issue.
The distinguished Georgian called
the House-passed bill "the most
cunningly devised and contrived
piece of legislation / have ever
seem" He compared it to the
stringent laws enacted after the
Civil War, when a Reconstruction
Congress tried, as he put it, to
put black heels on white necks."
The Southerners object partic-
ularly to a provision of the bill
which would permit the Attorney
General to seek injunctions
against anyone depriving another
person Of civil rights. Contempt
cases arising from such injunc-
tions would be decided not by
jury but by a Federal judge-a
procedure which opponents have
attacked as a denial Of a basic
American right.
President Eisenhower, at his
Wednesday press conference, gave
some solace to the embattled
Southern bloc. For the first time,
he appeared willing to consider
amendments to the civil rights
bill. although he rejected the
Russell suggestion that the merits
Of the measure be put to a Ma
tion-wide popular referendum.
Mr.. Eisenhower said the bill, as
submitted by the administration
and passed by the House, simply
sought to prevent anyone Illegally
from interfering with any indi-
vidual's right to vote :" But.
the President went on, II find
that men, men who are highly re-
spected in their States and the
Senate, have suddenly made state
ments, this is very extreme
law. leading to disorder and all
that sort Of thing. This. to me,
is rather incomprehensibie, but I

ones presentation to me of his
views on such q thing"

Testing Continues

While negotiations inched for
ward in London, American atomic
scientists and military units went
ahead with their testing program
on the Nevada desert. There was
speculation that the Acc was
pushing hard for achievement of
a "clean" bomb and was testing
atomic triggers" designed to be
comparatively free of fallout.
While the scientists rocked the
West with spectacular blasts.
troops in the test area tried out
tactics developed for atomic
ground warfare.
The clean" bomb prospect
brought an observation from Mr..
Eisenhower that he would con-
slider sharing the know-how, if
achieved, with other nations. in
GLIDING the Soviet Union. And
perhaps to emphasize his own
conviction that the clean" bomb
was near reality, he declared he
was ready to invite other nations
to make their own measurements
of radioactive fallout at the site
of the next test of an American
hydrogen bomb.
The Presidents suggestion that
"clean" bomb-making techniques
be made available to the Soviet
Union brought cool reaction in
Congress. Legislation would be
required, under the Atomic Energy
Act, to permit any such sharing of
information. Senate Minority
Leader Knowland expressed doubt
that Congress would ever agree to
give information on weapons to
the Russians. Representative Hol-
field, Democrat of California,
called the suggestion "a complete
reversal of our national policy
and security"
Mr.. Eisenhower also revealed
last week that the United States
was making available, under exist
ing law. an additional $500 kilo-
grams Of uranium 235 for peaceful
uses. About half was to be ear

FAIRBANKS, Apr. Midnight April 6 marks the beginning of the end of winters long, cold grasp on the territory as far as the Nenana Ice Classic is con- cerned.
 I have kept log of the weath- CT at Nenana for the last four years. On April 6, 1854, the tenn perature was two above zero and 10 inches of snow on the level. On April 6, 1855, the temperature was 10 above with Is. inches of snow. On April 6, 1856 it was minus 10 degrees and 28 inches of snow. On Today, April 5, 1857, the temperature is 20 above with 16 inches of snow on the level.
 The ice went out on May 6, 1854 at 6:01 p.m.; in 1855 on May g, at 2:13 p.m.; in 1856 on May 1, at 11:24 am.
 Haggart Olsen, a retired marine ways foreman at Nenana, says the entire spring is shaping up like the year 1887 when the ice broke up at 8:04 pm. on May 12.
