Lloyd to Discuss
Cyprus in Athens

LONDON, Feb. Z (R.-British
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
is flying to Athens Monday to
discuss the future of disputed
Cyprus with the Greek govern
ment.
Announcing the trip today,
the Foreign Office said Mr..
Lloyd had proposed the talks.
This aroused speculation that
Britain has a new plan for the
strife ridden Mediterranean
crown colony, where the Greek
descended majority wants to
unite with Greece and the
Turkish minority wants the is
land partitioned between the
two Cypriot communities.
Mr.. Lloyd saw Turkish Am
bassador Nuri Birgi today and
presumably told him about his
trip to Athens. A Foreign Of
flee spokesman said his chief
probably would remain in the
Greek capital two or three
days.
1t has been reported that
Britain is now considering Of
fering the islanders a l0-year
period of limited self govern
ment after which they would be
free to choose their own future

Snow Moy Follow
Rainfall Tonight

Rain throughout the day
coupled with the possibility of
snow sometime tonight is fore
cast by the Weather Bureau
The temperature is expected
to drop to a low Of Is degrees
after midnight. During the day
the thermometer probably will
reach no higher than the upper
3Os.
Tonight's frigid weather will
be ushered in by strong north
west winds which are due to
prevail tomorrow, ss well
If snow should fail this eve
ming, it probably will be wet
and unlikely to accumulate in
any significant amount, the
bureau predicted.
The rain and poor visibility
earlier today slowed traffic. An

The Acc chairman empha-
sized, however, that ionic pro-
pulsion is a really far-of prof.

Not Welded to Idea
Senator Anderson, Democrat
of New Mexico, subcommittee
chairman. said it is his con-
clusion that ''if you're going
to have space travel you're
going to have to have nuclear
propulsion"
The Senator said he is not
welded to the idea" that the
Acc should be given control
over the Governments outer
space projects, but he said that
if space vehicles depend on
nuclear propulsion then the
Acc has probably a dominant
part" to play.
Mr.. Strauss did not plump
for Acc control in the new
field, but under questioning
made it clear that the commits
sion had the talent and many
of the resources to carry on
an effective outer space pro-
gram. lie also emphasized the
harmonious relationship that
the Acc has maintained with
the Defense Department, the
agency which now has the
Jurisdiction over space projects.

Cell Changes
Clue to

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Feb. Z
up. = The American Cancer
Society and the National In
stitutes Of Health say a Chi.
nese-born scientist at Harvard
has made q discovery which
may shed new light toward
curing cancer.
They said last night that
DR.. r. Shihman Chang might
have come up with the first
deliberate and specific muta-
ton wrought in human cells
A mutation is a sudden varia-
ton in which a cell develops
new characteristics which then
are inherited by its offspring.
In cancer, normal human
cells undergo unexplained
changes.
The Cancer Society and the
Institutes Of Health said DR.
Chang grew living human body
cells in test tubes, fed them
certain molecules. and kept
track Of the effects upon the
cells.
Substituting certain sub.
stances for glucose-the blooc
sugar considered essential II
higher life forms-and sugars
resembling it. DR.. Chang noteC
that some of the cells survived
the absence Of glucose. The!
apparently had changed them

which permitted them to con,
vert other substances to thu
glucose needed.
After many weeks, the cell
began reproducing with in
creasing frequency. The resul
was a new large colony Of fiat
sided cells.

Atomic Energy Subcommittee
on Outer Space.
Admiral Strauss said thai
while the Aces three-yeal
nuclear rocket program, called
Project Rover. has not yet beer
proved, he believes that atomic
power appears to be very at
tractive" for space propulsion
He said this is particularly
true where large payloads
would be required"
Boost in Power Seen
Col. Jack Armstrong, assis-
tant director of Aces aircraft
reactor division, estimated that
atomic energy probably could
supply anywhere from two tc
four times the power Of the
most advanced of the so-called
exotic chemical fuels now being
developed for rockets and mis-
sileS.
He told the subcommittee thai
no insurmountable problem re-
mains in the program for devel-
oping a nuclear rocket. He sai6
that it is his personal belief
that the job will be easier than
building either the atomic OF
hydrogen bombs.
In addition to Project Rover
and a nuclear ram-jet rocket
program designated Project
Pluto. Admiral Strauss revealed
for the first time publicly that
the Acc is working on a re-
connaisSance satellite which
could spy on the earth from
outer space. This is Project
Snap.
The Acc. as part of Project
Rover, is looking into the mat
ter of ionic propulsion, which
may be useful for propulsion

Search Widens
For Gunner in
Shooting Cases
z Believed Involved
In Lorton Killing,
Detectives Injury

A search widened today for
one or two men who killed q
Lorton grocer last night and
wounded a railroad detective
early this morning.
Police doubt that the same
gunman is responsible for the
shooting.
The hunt spread into Arling-
ton and Fairfax Counties after
at least 40 policemen had given
the vast Potomac railroad
yards in Alexandria a thor
ough search this morning.
The suspect sought in the
wounding of the detective was
described as colored, 6 feet
tall, 165 to 40 pounds. slender
build, with one ld-filled tooth
in front, wearing bib-type over
alls, q hip-length denim jacket
and rubber boots with red
soles.
Seen on GIebe Road
Alexandria police had a tele-
phone report that a man Of
that general description was
seen headed west on Glebe road
near the Jefferson Davis high
way shortly after the 1880 am.
shooting.
Slain in what was an APP
parent holdup attempt was
Percy Sims, So, the Lorton
grocer, who was dead on ar
rival at Alexandria Hospital.
He was shot down presumably
as he reached for a gun under
the counter.
The wounded man is Detec-
tive James H. Dellinger. 80, Of
AIT Hume avenue, Alexandria,
who despite three bullet
wounds, pursued the gunman
more than 100 yards after
flushing him out of a freight
car. He said he fired four times
and may have hit the fugitive.
Condition Satisfactory
Mr.. Dellinger is in Arlington
Hospital in satisfactory condi-
ton with one wound In the
left shoulder another in the
stomach and a third on the
left side Of his face which mar
rowly missed the eye. He was
IN surgery over two hours.
Federal Bureau Of 1iivsstiga-
ton balIistics experts said Mr..
Sims had been shot with a for
eign-made Steyr pistol of Q
millimeter (about .38-caliber)
weapon. Mr.. Dellinger was
wounded by slugs from a .32-
caliber Smith g. Wesson re-
volver.
A revolver of the same make
and caliber was stolen yester-
day morning from a home two
doors from the Lorton grocery
where Mr.. Sims was killed.
The Lorton Staying occurred
about $3.50 pm.
The gunman there was de-
scribed as about 5 feet 10
inches tall, ITO pounds, wearing
a blue suit. He was either coll
ored or had a very grimy face.
Mr.. Sims was believed tt
have been alone in the grocery
although police probed report:
that a woman who may have
been a witness fled before police
arrived.
In second floor Twin
quarters were Mrs. Edna Sims
so, wife of the victim; Mrs
Anne Otis, 26. a daughter; hel
two children and her. 12-year.

Stassen Delays
His Decision
Reports No
Request to
Resign Job

Disarmament Advisor Harold
E. Stassen said today he has
not made up his mind whether
to resign his White House Job
to run for governor of Penn
sylvania.
After a 40-minute meeting
with President Eisenhower, he
told newsmen he planned to see
the President again soon and
will decide about running for
the governorship before March
II, the deadline for entering the
primaries.
Mr.. StaSsen met reporters in
the rain outside the White
House.
The former Minnesota Gov
ernor repeated several times,
II have not turned in my resig-
nation and of course the Pres
ident has not asked me to-"
There have been several re-
ports Mr.. Stassen is about to
resign after losing a behind
the-scenes battle with Secre-
tary Of State Dulles over lib.
eralizing United States disarm-
ament policy and bringing it
more closely in line with Soviet
policy.
Considers Race
Mr.. Stassen said he has been
giving serious consideration"
to the Pennsylvania governor
ship, but no firm decision has
been made.
He refused to comment on
reports that Presidential As
sistant Sherman Adams had
been the source Of stories say
ing the White House would ask
Mr.. Stassen's resignation If he
did not submit it.
He also declined to say what
he and the President had dis
cusSed.
Matter, for Future
A reporter asked if Mr..
Stassen would continue as dis
armament advisor. III he de-
cided not to run for the PENN
sylvania governorship. This,
he said. was a matter for the
future"
Mr.. Stassen said his next
talk with the President would

ton whether he would run for
Governor of Pennsylvania. II
