NEWPORT. r. T., Sept. 10
President Eisenhower took an
other day off today to go fish,
ing with old friends, away from
prying eyes.
The President decided on the
fishing trip after cancellation

ters here this morning with

Because the routine business he

Mr.. Hagerty told neWsmen

he was going as a fisherman

Shark Sturts
Long Flight

CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla,
Sept. 10 (AP) A Shark guided
missile streaKed aloft today
on the start of another 5000
mile flight across the Atlantic
The 69-foot Shark, which
has been fired from the Cape
more than SO times, at present
is the only United States mis-
sile capable Of travelling inter-
continental range.
The much more powerful
Atlas ICBM failed on its first
try to go the full route yes
terday when the rocket blew
UP after 80 seconds.
Twin 130,000-pound thrust
booster rockets flashed a bright
stream of orange fame as the
Shark SKINNED across the
Cape and out over the sea
After a few seconds, the
boosters broke away and a
turbo-jet engine cut in to carry
the missile on the l0-hour
fight.
The missile, developed by
Northrop, has a speed of only
900 miles per hour, but it il
capable Of sensational accuracy
If launched of course, the
Sharks airborne guidance sys-
tenn can correct the trajectory
automatically.

Bone Cancer
From FuIIout
Discounted

A woman researcher says
tests on mice show that the
present fallout from nuclear
weapons tests will not produce
a single case Of bone cancer or
leukemia in humans.
The report Of the researcher,
Miriam P. Finkel, was carried
yesterday in Science Magazine.
Miss Finkel conducted her tests
at the Argonne National Labo-
.ratory, operated in Lemont. H..
by the University of Chicago
under contract to the Atomic
Energy Commission.
In her experiment varying
degrees of Strontium-90 were
injected into $40 mice. An adj
ditional $50 mice received no
injection. The results, she said,
indicated no damage to the in
jected mice.
Strontium-90 is a dangerous
component of fallout which is
deposited in bone. 1t remains
there always, exposing the per-
son to constant radiation.
A report issued August 10 by
the United Nations Scientific
Committee on the Effects of
Atomic Radiation said as many
as 1000 persons a year might
contract leukemia cancer of
the blood as a result of radio
active fallout.
Miss Finkel writes that
Strontium-9O probably is 7 to
IA times more harmful to man

HATCH ACT REFORMS
PREDICTED-In a speech be-
fore Lodge 1903 Of the American
Federation Of Government En-
ployes. Representative Lark
ford, Democrat Of Maryland,
predicted that Congress next
year will liberalize the Hatch
Act to permit Federal employees
Ito take q more active role in
politics" The amendments will
not impair Government efici-
ency and neutrality which
must be observed at all times"
he said.
Mr.. Landlord said a real need
exists for a Federal employe
health insurance program and
other fringe benefits that are
common among industry EN-
ployes. He also Endorsed a study
of the Federal salary structure
to insure faster adjustment Of
Government employees pay.
Federal employee unions should
be represented on such a study
committee, as well as members
of Congress and leading private
citizens, Mr.. Landlord said.

workers are invited to particle
pate in a triduum--three days

But she estimated that the

Within minutes after the

This means that the explosive

All Of the devices to be fired

annuity should an employe
have remained long enough in
Government to qualify for a
future pension.
It also would deny the en-
ploye any cash payment for
accumulated annual leave or
even whatever salary is coming
TO him.
The important case involved
an Air Force employee who al
legedly lied about the extent Of
his college education on his
Government job application
form 81 in applying for the
position which required the ed
ucational background that the
employee claimed to have. When
the falsehood was discovered,
the employe was fred. He then
requested the amount Of money
he contributed to the retire
ment system be returned to him.
The Controller General ruled.
however. that the money con-
tributed by the employe could
not be returned to him and
instead would be returned to
the Air Forces general ap-
preparations fund.
General Accounting ONCE
officials said the decision also
meant that If an employee had
already completed the neces-
sary five years of service re-
quired in order for the worker
to qualify for a deferred an
snuity at age 81, not only would
the money he contributed to the
retirement fund be forfeited
but his right to a future an
nuity would be cancelled as
well.
The Controller General made
Q general distinction in his
decision. If. for example, an
employee would have been hired
for the job even if he hadn't
made false claims, the employee
upon being discharged from his
job on discovery of the untrue
statements would be entitled
to a return Of his retirement
contributions.
Also, presumably he would
be entitled to cash payment for
unused annual leave as we'll as
be eligible for a deferred an
nuity of age So. if he so qualities.
However. this last prospect is
rather remote, since the Gov
eminent usually discovers false
statements by employees before
they have been on the job five
years.
For example, an employee may
have lied when he claimed a
college degree. But If the job
involved did not require a COL
lege degree as a prerequisite for
the position. the employee would
be entitled to a refund of his
retirement contributions, etc.
POSTAL WORKERS LA
BILITY-In an important deci-
sion tB-l35333) for postal
workers, the Controller Gen.
eral has ruled that postal en-
ployes who through administra-
tive error are overpaid must re-
turn the excess money to the
Government,
Under a previous General
Accounting Office Interpretation
OF a statute which protects
postal workers from liability
incurred in the performance Of
their duties, it had been held
that the employees need not
return overpayments of salaries.
But the Controller General
now has ruled that the Post
Office Department cannot waive

CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla,
July IL (P.-The Air Force

first fully powered Atlas inter-
continental ballistic missile to-
day after its mighty engines
ignited.
For the first time, the huge
rocket carried the three en-
gines necessary to travel inter-

sustainer and two rocket boost
ers.
The engines poured out a
huge stream of orange flame
for some 10 seconds after the
crucial countdown reached the
zero mark. Then they were
shut down.
The Air Force made no i'm
