Harlow Curtice of C.M. and Walter Reuther of U. A. W.
 Spar on Initiation Remedies

DETROIT, R-President liar low Curtice of General Motors and the Auto Workers Walter Reuther were squared off in yer bal battle today on imitation rem edies.
 GM, replying to the unions proposal for an average $10O cut on 1858 car models, has counter proposed two-year extension of it's union contract that expires next spring.
 Reuther, commenting on the 'counter-move, accused General Motors of shocking disregard" of public welfare. He also charged the company with intending to Ego on short-changing American consumers thru higher prices"
 The Curtice-Reuther exchange came yesterday. First, Curtice made his proposal in letter to Reuther describing it as "con- structive" step against imitation. The United Auto Workers presi- dent followed up in public statement.
 In the statement Reuther inter preted Curtice's letter as an lar bitrary rejection" of the unions price cut proposal. He then de- nounced GM, declaring the com- pany ''evades basic issues"
 Last week Reuther proposed to the auto industry's big three of GM, Chrysler and Ford that they cut 1858 car prices by an average of $100 car. In return he said the union would be willing to adjust next years contract de- mands.
 Reuther has not indicated what concessions the union might offer. The JAW has said it will seek higher wages and shorter work week next year.
 Present three-year contract in the auto industry expire next spring. The auto union has said it will seek substantial wage increase in new contracts.

Russia Resumes A-Tests With Substantial Shot

WASHINGTON, .R-Russia has resumed atomic tests with blast of substantial" power yesterday, the Atomic Energy Commission announced today.
 A brief announcement from AEC Chairman Lewis I. Strauss said:
 "The Soviet Union has resumed testing of nuclear weapons at its Siberian proving grounds. A det- onation of substantial size took place on Aug. 22."
 The development comes in the midst of Soviet maneuvers in the London disarmament conference with the ostensible aim of cutting off all nuclear tests.
 The United States, while offer ing to call off tests for two years, is insisting on safeguards which the Russians reject.
 The last previous AEC an- nouncement of a Soviet nuclear weapon test came April Is.
 That blast was described as "one of the largest thus far in the current Soviet series" Strauss said it was the fifth in a series which began April 13. It was the 11th reported by the AEC since last August.

Valdez Bid for Mental Patients Wins
 Support of 3 Prominent Alaskans

FAIRBANKS, R-Strong sup port for a proposal by the Valdez Town Council that Alaska mental patients be hospitalized there was voiced by two territorial senators and a member of the Alaska Board of Health yesterday.
 Sens. John Butrovich and pr. Paul B. Haggland said they favor moving at least part of the terri tory's mentally ill from Morning side Sanitarium at Portland, Ore, to unused but nearly new hospital and housing facilities at Valdez.
 Dr. Arthur J. Shaible, member of the Territorial Board of Health, said "the plan should definitely be studied. It may be that Valdez is not the place to care for out and-out psychoties, but for senile dementia cases it could be ideal.'
 Mayor William. Petit of Valdez said here Monday the facilities there could take care of 160 pa

tients until permanent mental in StitutionS are built in Alaska.
 Sen. Butrovich cited a memor- ial of the Territorial Legislature from as early as 1915, urging the Morningside contract be revoked.
 Dr. Shaible said the Portland institution now contains, among other inmates, some 80 "old- tim CTS who are a little odd" He said they've given up on them and some have been there for 30 years"
 The possibility of taking care of such patients at Valdez, with only a general practitioner in charge, should be studied, the health board member said.
 He added that a gradual trans fer of mental patients, which such a plan would make possible, might have advantages over try ing to assume the whole burden at once.

PATTERSON
 KEEPS TITLE IN SIX ROUNDS

SEATTLE R-Heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson was knocked down for only the second time in his pro career before stopping amateur king Pete Rad emacher last night He gave his foe full credit.
 T don't remember going down, so obviously it was knockdown,' , the 22-year-old Floyd said in his hot, crowded dressing room at Sick's Stadium.
 The general opinion had been that Rademacher, 28, would be fortunate to last two rounds against the poised pro. Instead he knocked him down for an official count of four in the second and wasn't stopped until the sixth.
 He's fresh from winning the Olympic heavyweight title and eager," Floyd declared. ''He has the qualifications of a future great fighter but he lacks experience"
 Patterson said he was surprised by the knockdown but didn't feel he was in any trouble.
 Gus D'Amato, Patterson's man. ager, appeared almost as happy over the fact that Rademacher fought back as he was about his Tigers knockout victory.
 He remained non-committal on future plans for the champion.
 ''I can't say at this time," was his only comment. Earlier he stat ed he has a pair of $250,000 of fers already.

Eisenhower Signs Govt ReactOr
 Construction Bill

WASHINGTON, tR- President Eisenhower has signed an atomic energy construction bill authoriz- ing preliminary studies on nu- clear power reactors to be built by the government.
 Senate Democrats had proposed a reactor construction program over Administration protests. And when authorization legislation if nally was passed Tuesday, it con- tained no provision for actual construction of the disputed re- actors, but only planning author ity
 In a statement issued yesterday when he signed the bill, Eisen- hover said the measure lis a great improvement indeed over bills introduced early in the ses- sion to build and operate a number of full scale power react ors at a cost for construction alone of $400 million.
 About the time that statement was issued, the House passed and sent to the Senate an appropria- tions bill which would provide the actual funds for projects con- tained in the authorization bill signed by the President.
 Passed by voice. vote in the House, the money bill allots 3D. 299,718,50O to the Atomic Energy Commission, a reduction of $185,- 906,5OO from Eisenhower's bid.

Halverson Theory Indicates Possible
 Occurrence of Earthquakes August g

Olaf Halverson, teacher at the Nome School, says conditions will be favorable for earthquakes in a few days, centering. around the 18th of August.
 MT. Halverson has been doing research on an original earth quake theory for some IS years. His theory originated in Kodiak, where numerous earth tremors occur. His charting of the planets led him to associate earthquakes with gravitational attraction of celestial bodies, including the sun, moon, and planets.
 Certain positions of the planets, he noted, bring about favorable conditions for earthquakes, and if there is any weakness in the earth's crust at the time, an earth quake may occur.
 His theory has won consider able attention with West Coast scientists.
 He observed the presence of conditions at Kodiak before the Scotch Cape disaster and tidal wave. Also, he announced to sev- eral of his students that condi- tions were favorable before the Seattle earthquake.
 Several planets have currently grouped themselves in close prox- imity, MT. Halverson says, and their combined gravitational at- traction, augmenting that of the sun and moon, may cause an earthquake soon, providing the earth's crust at any given point is weak.
 The planets involved this time are Jupiter, Mars and Venus, MT. Halverson stated.

Red Fireball
 Bursts in Desert In 18th US. A-Test

ATOMIC TEST SITE, New, R "A blood-red fireball burst over the Nevada desert today as the United States touched off the 18th atomic explosion of the 1857 test series.
 The flash of the blast at 5:30 am. PDT) was visible over a large area of the west.
 Downtown buildings in Los An geles were bathed in flashbulb- bright glow. The flash was visible in San Francisco in spite of a heavy fog.
 Newsmen, barred from the test site, witnessed the explosion from Angels Peak, 45 miles from Ground Zero.
 The device was exploded from a captive balloon 1,50O feet above the Yucca Flat testing grounds.
 The dark red fireball flared briefly, then faded. A mushroom cloud quickly rose from it. The cloud raced high into the sky, the rays of the rising sun turning it a snowy white.
 Then, as the top of the mush- room detached from the writhing stem, the brightening sun turned the cloud to pink.
 It paused half a minute, a giant powderpuff cloud poised. 36,00( feet above the Ground Zero. Then it began to drift slowly to the north-northwest.
 Today's test was roughly hall of nominal in power. A nomina. bomb is equal to 10000 tons o1 TINT (trinitrotoluene)

A man less determined than
this reviewer to keep High
Noon" out Of this piece might
say that Fonda's character
here bears a resemblance to
Gary Cooper's man in that
earlier classic of the west. 1t is
true that there is this likeness
but High Noon" has got to
disappear sometime. Say now
Fonda's man is a loner. a
former wearer of the sheriff
tin star and a guy thoroughly
disillusioned by the experience
He is ready to leave the damned
town where he learned about
human ingratitude. One thing,
however, holds him.
This is the sight of young
Perkins as a new sheriff so cal
low that Fonda cannot bear to
think Of how quickly his sue
cessor's brain will be blown out.
Accordingly, the latter reluct-
antly sticks around to teach the
stubborn, brave. innocent kid a
few of the tricks that might get
him past at least his first gifted
gun-fighter.
The dialogue in the early
part of this relationship is
Author Nichols at his best, to
wit:
Perkins: "Of course the job
is only temporary"
Fonda: More than you
know"
Perkins: II know I've got a
lot to learn"
Fonda: And too little time
to learn it,"
For all his cynicism and anx-
lety to hit the road, Fonda lin
gers long enough over his pupil
to find them both involved in
the usual homicidal delin-
quency in frontier towns. First
a stagecoach outrider is shot
and then the cornmunity's be-
loved doctor is killed, the two
events combining to suggest
that the dewy young sheriff will
be next when he starts after the
killer.
Another reason for Fonda S
hanging around is provided by
Betsy Palmer, a widow with a
half-breed Indian son and with
a spare room in which a man
may be comfortable while run
ming an acting school for a
wide-eyed kid sheriff.

Director Mann's handling of
THE Tin Star" is both terse
