DR.. Willard F. Libby of the
Atomic Energy Commission
says last falls underground
atomic blast in Nevada points
up the possibility of setting in
ternational limits on nuclear
explosions.
DR.. Libby said in an inter-
view yesterday he thought it
possible to agree on how much
radioactive fallout could emerge
from any atomic explosion.
The idea is a very old one"
he said. "but I think it is
something worth thinking
about" among proposals short
of a total ban on nuclear tests.
In testimony released last
week by the Senate Disarma-
ment Subcommittee, DR.. Libby
opposed a fiat test ban. He said
at the same time there probably
would be no foolproof method
of detecting violations, but
questioned whether a perfect
system would be necessary.
Last September'S A : bomb
blast inside a Nevada mountain
demonstrated that potentially
hazardous fallout can be to
tally contained" DR.. Libby said
yesterday. This success. he
added, raises the possibility of
a limitation which allows the
development of ornaments to
go forward to a certain degree
but nevertheless deals with the
fallout problem"
He had emphasized previous
Iy that atomic tests contribute
to the development of peace
time uses Of nuclear energy.
Exact fallout limits would
have to be negotiated among
nations. he said. but Il think
they could be made quite low"
DR.. Libby said clean CAD

feasible only above ground.

HEADLINE. PERSONALITY
Col. Moore Makes
Friends Easily
By the Associated Press

George Gordon Moore. jr., is
Q man who makes friends easily.
There are two reasons for
this: He has a good deal Of
charm, in a gray-haired. man
of-distinction way. And his
wife's sister is married to the
President of the United States.
It is this second circumstance
that has made Col. Moore some
thing of a headline figure in
recent weeks in connection with
a House subcommittee investi-
cation of alleged influence on
the Federal Communications
Commission.
This publicity is not to the
liking of Col. Moore. a Texas
born businessman who gradu-
ated from West Point, retired
from the Army eight years ago
as a lieutenant colonel, and who
probably would rarely have seen
his name in print but for one
thing:
His wife, Frances Doud
("Mike") Moore, is the only
sister of Mrs. Dwight D. Eisen-
hover.
Col. Moore came to public
attention last month when
Bernard Schwartz, fired as
chief counsel of the House SUBJ
committee on Legislative Over
sight, named him as a member
of a white House clique" said
by DR. Schwartz to be welding
big business influence on Gov
eminent regulatory agencies.
Third-Hand Report
Then Miami businessman Col.
A. Frank Katzentine told the
committee he had a ird-hand
report that Col. Moore "engi-
neered" the award of a TV IL
cense that Col. Katzentine
wanted to the firm which act
ually got 1t, a National Airlines
subsidiary.
There was further testimony
that Col Moore is associated
with two directors Of Nationals
TV firm in operating Domini-
can Republic shipyard. and also
that he is a close friend Of
Nationals president. G. T.
(Ted) Baker.
Col. Moore remained silent
until recently when two Demo-
cratic members of the House
committee called for further
study. of his relations with the
Public Service Television, Inc,
directors.
Then he issued a statement
denying unequivocally that he
had anything to do with the TV
case. He offered to repeat his

Legislature OF the vi.
Ever since the passage of
Act No. Is, Bill No. 100, Of the
First Legislature of the Virgin
Islands "To Standardize Posi-
ton Titles and Salary Rates in
the Government Of the Virgin
Islands, and for other Pur-
poses," the Administration has
realized the shortcomings of
a Pay Plan which provides for
70 orderly increase in salaries
for persons who serve from

At the same time the present
Pay Plan provides for only
three steps in each pay range,
which limitation does not
form the basis for a long-range
program 0 f step increases
within each range.
The gradual upgrading over
the past three years of various
Jobs of a clerical and admin

into focus the fact that teach

which is commensurate with
the extensive amount Of edu-

pay ranges for teachers. It is
felt that some adjustment in

Allowances - Youngsters

Family Car Youngsters
should ask for the use Of the

Also there must be valid
reason for using the car-not

Further, a limit on the num-
