Strauss Testifies
On Atom Deaths

The Atomic Energy Commits

chances of being killed by ar

than the hazards of auto acct.
dents.
Acc Chairman Lewis L
Strauss gave the House. Senate
Atomic Energy Committee esti-
mates by scientists who, he said
figured the most pessimistic'
combination of possibilities.
Mr. Strauss said that if there
were 100 large power reactors in
operation in the United States
there would be "lesS than one
chance in SO million of getting
killed in any year in a reactor
accident"
BY contrast" the chairman
continued, there is presently
about one chance in 5000 of get
ting killed in any year by an
automobile accident"
The committee is considering
legislation under which the Gov
eminent would provide liability
coverage for private operators OF
power reactors. At present such
operators cannot get from COM
mercial insurance firms more
than about SOS million protec-
ton against possible damage
suits. The bill would authorize
the Government to supplement
this coverage up to a total of
$500 million.
AS industry moves into the
field with large installations. Mr..
Strauss said. the Acc is reouir-
ing each reactor to have null

dents which might release fis-
sion products from the facility. j."
Only by means of highly I'M
likely combinations Of mechani-
cal and human failures could
such releases occur" he said.

augmented. The ships are con-
verted destroyers. manned by a
dozen officers and about $50
men.
AS is the case Of the radar
aircraft. every effort is made to
make life easier for the crews
of the picket ships. The gale
ridden Atlantic makes the going
rough. however. Each ship is out

Ships Roll on Beam Ends
Capt j. A. Dybdal. commander
Of the surface ship force of
Barrier Atlantic, says that in
mid-winter 20-foot swells are
common. and waves as high as
40 feet roll up. Ships roll almost
on their beam ends. down more
than so degrees of normal posi-
ton. Spray in bitter cold weather
armors the ship with ice weigh
ing tons which the crew must
beat of.
This operation, like other Navy
units. came in for sharp atten-
ton during the SueZ crisis last
fall. Admiral Wright said that
ships. planes and men went to
sea or stood by for instant take
of because there was obvious
need for readiness against some
kind of surprise move at almost
any point.
We didn't know what might
come. so We had to get the boys
OUT" said the admiral.
He explained that very ex-
tensive additional precautions"
were taken.
A carrier task force went to
sea. Hunter-killer groups pa
trolled the far Atlantic on
watch for strange submarines.
Aircraft roamed far and wide.
I'VE kept an eye on Soviet
fishing vessels milling around "
He did not identify the location
of those vessels.

Senators Vote to Extend
Business Tax IS Months

alcoholic beverages, tobacco and
automobiles would 60 down
automatically next Monday,
causing great confusion even if
the bill should pass next week.
Fixed at Is Months
The only change the Senators
made was in fixing the duration
at Is months instead of IL
months in the House bill. House
leaders have said they will accept
this change, the only purpose OF
which is to have the higher rates
expire at the end of the next
fiscal year, June 30, 1858.
This amendment does not
change the SO billion yield from
Iexisting rates, but would boost
Treasury income by 1925 mil
lion from excise taxes within
the next fiscal year. This would
make it easier for the Treasury
to balance the 1858 budget. The
effect of the extension bill is to:
] Prevent the overall corpora
ton rate from dropping from So
TO AZ per cent.
To keep the taxes on whiskey
from dropping from $l0.50 to SO
per gallon and on beer from
SO to So per barrel.
To keep the cigarette tax from
dropping from 81 to $3.50 per
1000.
Prevent the automobile tax
from dropping from 10 to 7 per
cent and on parts from 8 to S
per cent.
Only Two Back Amendment
Senator Douglas. Democrat of
Illinois, offered the Fulbright
amendment to cut the tax rate
on small corporations and raise
1T on big companies. But he got
only two votes on the l5-man
committee.
/ Other amendments defeated
would have repealed excise taxes
on passenger travel tickets, on
leather luggage and on the cover
charge in night clubs. Others
would have given school teachers
and crippled persons special in
come tax relief.
The committee also turned
down the move by Senator Will
liams. Republican of Delaware.
to raise taxes on oil companies by
$500 million, by reducing the de-
pletion allowance on oil wells
from ITS to Is per cent.
Senator Byrd said there will be
other bills later this year on
which small business relief could
be considered. and the committee
directed its staff to make a study
of this problem.

Airborne Early Warning tAEW
system the Navy calls Barrier
Atlantic"
Newsmen's questions were
based on recent statements by
Navy officials that the size of the
Russian undersea fleet now may
be $50 to 500 vessels, far greater
than the huge submarine force
once operated by Germany
Admiral Felix Stump. Pacific
fleet commander. recently re-
ported evidence of an upsurge
of Soviet submarine strength in
that ocean.
Admiral Wright said that II
the last few years there ha.
been "a definite increase in theil
cruising to deep water" Appar-
emily referring to the detection
devices of the antiSubmarint
surface and air patrols main

miral added, I'VE pick them ur
every now and then"
New Command Formed
Admiral Wright's comments
followed by a few days his an
nouncement at Norfolk. Va. that
a new. overall antisubmarine
command for the Atlantic Fleet
headed by Vice Admiral Frank
T. Watkins, has been formed
In that announcement, Ad-
miral Wright said: The pos
sibility of submarine Launched
guided missile attacks against
the United States is a problem
of the utmost national import
ance."
Over the week end, the Navy
permitted newsmen for the first
time to see and describe some
OF the details of Barrier At
lantic." the airsea early warning
system set UP primarily to SOUND
an alarm against approaching
Russian nuclear bombers. Oper-
ating in the same area are other
planes assigned to antisubmarint
duty. The radar picket ships OF
the barrier atlantic also dc
double duty as Submarine-detec-
ton craft.
The system has been in opera
ton since last July. In that time
the huge flying radar stations
long range Lockheed Constella-
tons equipped with new and
complex electronic equipment
have run up a total of about
1000 missions and cumulative
flying distance Of approximately
2l2 million miles.
Radar Range Over 100 Miles
Operating at an altitude OF
about 10000 feet while on sta
ton. the radar Of the aircraft
can cover an area of about AS
900 square miles in its constant
scanning of the skies for I'M
identified planes headed for the
United States. The range of the
radar is given officially at dis
tances well over 100 miles"
This seward extension of the
land-based warning lines in
Canada is believed to provide be-
tween one and two hours warn
ing time for the United States.
The AEW planes themselves
have little capability for SUBJ
marine detection. But the radar
picket ships CDDRS), with which
they work, carry both up-to- day
air search radar for plane watch
and new sonar gear for detecting
submarines attempting to steal
past beneath the surface.

Southern Group
Blocks Action
On Rights Bill

A group of Southern Senators
today blocked action by the SEN
ate Judiciary Committee on the
administrators civil rights pro-
gram.
Although a majority of the
committee appeared ready to
push the legislation along, Sem
ators Erwin of North Carolina
and Johnston Of South Carolina,
both Democrats. talked until the
committee adjourned at noon
Thus they added a new delay to
the controversial proposal.
Senator Hennings, Democrat
OF Missouri, told reporters he
sought recognition by Chairman
Eastland early in the meeting
but was unable to get the floor
He said he finally got recogni-
ton at 1870 o'clock and made
a motion for the immediate con-
slderation of the legislation.
PrOtracted Discussion
The Senator said his motion
was seconded by Senator Dirk
sen. Republican of Illinois, but
Senators Erwin and Johnston
engaged in a protracted dis
cussion until the bell rang at
noon for today's session of the
Senate.
Chairman Eastland, staunch
opponent of the civil rights pro-
posals. promptly adjourned the
committee meeting.
The parliamentary situation is
that Senator Henning's motion
to consider the legislation is
still pending.
The MiSsourian said he did not
consider today's development as
a rebuff" to the civil rights
advocates and did not consider
that either side had won or lost
round"
Ready to Move Again
I'VE have made our move" he
said, land we shall move again
and again and again if neces-
Sarv."
Senator Hennings said he be-
lieved his motion would have
been supported by eight of the
IL committee members present
If it had come to vote. He
named these as Senators Wiley
