capacity Mr.. Strauss will lead
the American delegation at the
second Geneva conference on
atoms-for- peace in September.
Long a controversial figure.
Mr.. Strauss has been currently
involved in an administration
dispute over the ACCESSIBILITY of
suspending nuclear weapons
tests. He advocates a con-
tinuation of testing to perfect
weapons relatively free of
radioactive fallout. There are
great preSSures inside and out
side the administration for a
change in United States policy
to permit a nuclear test ban.
President Eisenhower, in his
letter accepting the Strauss
resignation, expressed great
regret" and praised his lead
ership, judgment and vision. "

In Deuth Of Son, 3

ATLANTA, June 6 (P. -
Police held an unemployed
father of five young children
today in the fatal beating of a
3-year-old son.
officers quoted Harold c.
Summers, 80, as saying he
whipped the child, Danny, with
a belt yesterday after the boy
soiled his pants. The child died
at a doctors clinic a few hours
after the beating.
Mrs. Helen Summers, n, told
police she returned home from
a shopping trip in Atlanta and
! found Danny unconscious on
the floor of the house. The
father was watching television
| in another room, she said.
Mrs. Summers said she
learned from her other children
that the father forced Danny

tied with helping in the devel-

If he should want to under
take a job in private business,
he could offer experience
ranging from that of a trav-

to accept a job with Herbert
Hoover's Belgian Relief Com

In the years ahead. wish
for you many opportunities to
see the results Of your work in
squirting programs for civilian

freely available the knowledge
we have gained about all the
peaceful uses Of the atom. Hav-
ing taken so significant a part
in establishing the Interna-

ljustifiably take much Satisfac-

1 recount them because of my
unshakable conviction that on
this work is founded much of
the worlds aspirations for a

Thanks also in large measure
to your early awareneSs of the

tof nuclear science and to your
contributions to our programs
in this field, the United States

Here, too, your initiation of oul

of contentment.
1t was a most gratifying ex-

Chesapeake
Checkup
Bv JAMES BIRCHFIELD
Star stan Writer

IF YOU like the thrill of a speed boat or the
L luxury of a cabin cruiser or If you like to
cast a line overheard in the Chesapeake Bay or
its tributaries then the Army Engineers are doing
job for you.
They started few weeks ago at Smith Island,
one of the Oldest grabbing, fishing and Clustering
settlements in the Chesapeake area, and gradu-
ally will work the entire Bay.
They want to learn first hand about grabbing,
fishing and oyStering methods and facilities, and
what may be needed later in the way of river,
its tributaries
It is the first survey of the type ever made,
and it is expected to serve a pilot project for
surveys in other waters
The survey is economic study OF the COM
mercial fisheries in the Bay area. 1t is being made
to determine what, if any, improvements in naviga-
tional facilities should be undertaken for the COM
mercial fisherman.
The Corps Of Engineers, which is in charge of
inland waterway navigation, bases recommended
tions for navigation improvements on benefit
cost ratio, so the survey is designed to find out
what improvements to benefit fishermen in the
Bay can be justified economically
And any Improvements that will help COM
mercial fishermen will help the pleasure boaters
