Bill Planned
ToCurb Risks
OF Radiation

The United States Public
Health Service would be given
full authority to protect the
Nation from the hazards Of ra-
diation under a bill Senator
Hill, Democrat of Alabama, will
introduce after the Easter re-
cess.
Senator Hill, chairman of the
Labor and Public Welfare Com
mittee, said he is in full accord
with the National Advisory
Committee on Radiation, which
recommended recently that re-
sponsibility for radiation con-
troll should be vested, not in
the Atomic Energy Commits
sion, but in the one agency
which has no other RESPONSE
bility than protecting the Ma
tons health. The Senator
pointed out that the Acc has
other and possibly conflicting
responsibilities.
Senator Hill today advised
DR.. Russell Morgan, chairman
of the advisory committee, that
his bill will give the Public
Health Service comprehensive
power to police all radiation
hazards.
Senator Hill also asked Sec
rotary Flemming of the Depart
ment of Health, Education and

WICHITA, Kans., Mar. 81
(AP).-A 67-year- old woman,
"recuperating in a hospital
from injuries received in a fall.
was notified today that she has
been selected - officially - as
Kansas mother of the year.
She is Mrs. Irene Henderson
Kelley of Atwood, mother of
three daughters and one-time
president of the Kansas Fed
Grafton of Business and Pro-

Announcement of the award,
by Mrs. John Selfridge of
Wichita, State chairman for
the American Mothers Com
mittee, ended a period of con-
fusion touched off by erroneous
mailing from its New York
headquarters of selection let
tiers to 40 Kansas women.
Three of those erroneous no
tices of selection were received
by members of her Selection
Committee, Mrs. Selfridge said.
She said Mrs. Kelley's physi-
clan reported she would be out
of the hospital in a few days.
She was injured in a fall a

Tea Firm Faces
Antitrust Suit
BY the Associated Press

The Federal Trade Commits
sion has filed an antitrust
suit gainSt the Nations fifth
largest food chain, the National
Tea Co. of Chicago.
The ETC accused National
Tea of violating the Clayton
Act in acquiring 10 corpora
tons and their 440 stores dur
ing the last seven years.. The
complaint said National Tea,
by acquiring competing firms,
may have substantially les
sened competition and tended
to create a monopoly.
The commission went beyond
the National Tea case and
criticized what it called in
creasing concentration in the
food industry. It reported that
20 per cent of the retail food
stores account for 70 per cent
Of total sales.
The firm has 80 days to
answer the ETC complaint.
If the antitrust charges are
upheld, the commission could
force National Tea to get rid
of firms and stores it has
bought since 1852.

Five youths trapped by police
in similar circumstances q

was making a delivery from
the Congressional Liquor Store,

fired, wounding Mr.. MinIck in
the stomach.

NEW YORK, Mar. 81 (AP) .
- Mayor Robert F. Wagner
today got a roasting from a
throng of city workers, vari-
ously estimated from 1900 to
5000, who marched around
City Hall Square to protest a
fiscal belt-tightening by the
city.
Mayor Wagner's Democratic
city administration has said
it will be necessary to elimi-
nate or reduce pay increases
for employees. The Mayor
blames the Republican State
administration of Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller for failure to
grant the city certain taxing
powers.
The pickets turned out, be-
ginning early in the morning,
despite rainy weather and the
threatened loss of pay for
leaving their jobs without per-
mission.
Some Institutions Close
Some city institutions, such
as museums and the Bronx Zoo,
were forced to close for the day
from lack of workers. But it
appeared that the demonstra-
ton had taken away from work
far fewer than the 10000 which
leaders had anticipated. The
city has 10000 employees.
The American Federation of
State, County and Municipal
Workers Union claimed 5000
showed up for the picket march
around City Hall Park. Police
put the figure at $500.

policy and assert the States
sovereignty in line with the
resolution of interposition
adopted in 1856.
Mr.. Silverman said he regret
ted Gov. Almond did not accept
the groups invitation to be on
hand to hear what it had to
say to him as well as about
him. Gov. Almond told the
group his schedule would not
permit him to be away from
his Office at the time but said
he would be glad to receive a
delegation of as many as a
dozen from the group in his
office later. The crusaders
declined.
Gov. Almond had voiced his
support of massive resistance
during his campaign for Gov
ernor and had echoed that view
up to the first of this year.
When the resistance laws died
in court, however, the Governor
conceded there was nothing
more he could do to bar inte-
grafton.
But his voice no longer rings
out against Federal tyranny,
and it appears he wishes this
legislative body to surrender
and submit to the ruthless
might of Washington" said Mr..

He said the members of the
crusade were on hand because
they felt Gov. Almond had sur
rendered the State.

Jury 10 Study
Afford Ballots

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Mar. 81
(AP) "A Federal grand jury
today begins an examination of
ballots cast in last years cleo
ton in which Representative
Dale Afford unseated veteran
Representative Brooks Hays.
The jury last week opened an
investigation Of possible Fed
eral law violations in the victory
Of Mr.. Afford, who ran as a
write-in candidate, over Mr..
Hays, the Democratic nominee,
in the November general cleo
ton. Mr.. Afford, a segrega-
ZIONIST, criticized Mr.. Hays
willingness to accept integra-
ton.
Won by 1900
Mr.. Afford won by about
1000 votes in Arkansas 5th
district. Since then he has
been seated as a Democrat.
After hearing several wit
nesses on March %, the grand
jury asked United States Dis
trict Judge j. Smith Henley to
impound all ballots, and re-
lated records in the six
county 5th district.
Judge Henley issued the order,
and the jury recessed until to-
day to permit the ballots to be
collected.
At Danville, Ark, a Yell
County official refused to turn
the ballots over to deputy
United States marshals because
the documents already had
been impounded in other litiga-
ton in the State courts.
So far no action has been
taken to resolve the Yell County
situation.
Jury Has Ballots
The jury has the ballots from
the other five counties, includ-
ing Pulaski (Little Rock, the
heaviest voting in the State.
More than 10000 votes were
cast in the Alford-Hayes con-
test.
The grand jury inquiry fol-
lowed an investigation by the
FBI on two specific complaints
to the Justice Department. One
of these charged that in GER
tain precincts more ballots were
counted than there were per-
sons registered to vote. The
second alleged that anonymous
campaign literature, prohibited
by Federal statutes, was circu-
lated. Attorney General Will
liam P. Rogers said the COM
plants came from responsible
sources, but he did not identify
them.
