of introducing into the diets Of

nursing mothers) enough non-
radioactive iodine to dilute out
the radioactive material.
10O-Fold DilutiOn Possible

lower.
"Of course, nobody should
add iodine to the diet without
consulting their physician"
Use Of dried or canned milk
was suggested as another pos
sible method Of protection,
However, the scientists said, "it
is not clear whether this
method is feasible for large
groups without special action To

supplies. Furthermore this pro-
cedure would not protect
against iodine-l31 in foods

The Weather Bureau said
today wind patterns indicate
that the fallout from the new
est Soviet superbomb is moving
southeastward from its point
of detonation.
The bureau said this could
place the new radiation track
somewhat east of the fallout
cloud of a week ago, which
proceeded due south initiaily
and then turned east.
DR.. Lester Machta of the
bureau emphasized that 1t was
too early to determine the new
fallout pattern with any hope
of accuracy, or to predict the
course it might take.
Meanwhile, the leading edge
of the fallout cloud from the
October % explosion was due
to approach the British Isles
and Northern Europe to-
morrow.
On Tuesday it should be over
Russia again, having completed
a wind-borne flight around the
world.
DR.. Machta said the October
% fallout cloud was moving
across the North Atlantic
today. south of Iceland and
Greenland.
During its movement across
the United States, over the
week end, it passed through
rain areas all the way from
Wyoming and the Dakotas
through the Great Lakes area
and into New England.
Hence some Of the radioac-
t!vity may have been scrubbed
out in that area. The bureau
has not yet received ground
measurement reports from
there.
| DR.. Machta said airborne
measurements indicated only
extremely small amounts OF
radioactive debris.
This, he said, might mean
that most of the fallout from
the october % bomb went into
the stratosphere-possibly to
remain there until next spring
and that even less was dis
tributed in the troposphere
below the stratosphere, thar
previously had been estimated

West Doubts
China A-Test

HONG KONG, Oct. 80 CAP) i.
Western intelligence sources
here are treating with skepti-
cism an unconfirmed report
that Red China is about to test
nuclear weapons.
A Californian said he moni-
tored a Russian language radio
broadcast declaring a 1000
square mile area near the
Soviet-C Chinese border is being
evacuated because "of the
forthcoming nuclear tests by
the Chinese Peoples Republic. +"
Qualified sources in this Brit
ish colony, a listening post on
the fringe CT Red China. said
yesterday they had not uncov-
cred any inkling that Peiping
had developed a nuclear bomb.
1t was the second mysterious
radio broadcast in two days re-
lating to Red China and
nuclear weapons.
A Chinese language broad
cast supposedly from Red
China's official Peiping sta
ton warned Northeast China
Friday night to be on guard
against a heavy radioactive
fallout. Intelligence sources
here were skeptical of that
broadcast, heard in London,
Paris and Hong Kong.
Trained independent observ-
ers here doubted whether the
warning of a fallout. pre-
sumably from Soviet nuclear
tests. emanated from Peiping
They felt strained relations
between Red China and the
Soviet Union had not reached
the point where the Chinese
would want to make an issue
Of Soviet fallout.
One intelligence source said
It is only a question of time
before the Chinese Commu-
nistS stage a nuclear test but
according to our calculations
they still need at least a couple
of years for that"

make decisions without prior
reference to the Moscow center.
In brief, the policies could
imperil the Kremlin's iron grip
on the whole country. They
could foster such problems as
regional rivalries - even ma
tional rivalries - within the
Soviet Union itself.
All this the so-called anti
party group protested.
Ever since the 1857 show
down Mr.. Khrushchev has been
trying to have his opponents
expelled from the Communist
Party as a public punishment
for trying to oust him. He may
achieve that now. But all this
will have a shocking effect,
both at home and abroad.
In the U.S.S.R., the people
for the first time learned de-
tails of Stalin's blood purges,
known for so long to people
abroad. Mr.. Khrushchev's 1856
denunciation of Stain, it must
be remembered. was not public
property in the U.S.S.R. and the
Communist bloc.
Now the men who for so
many years collaborated with
Mr.. Khrushchev, both under
Stain and after Stain, are pa
raded publicly as murderers
and monsters.
Mr.. Khrushchev had to be
somewhat desperate to risk such
a shock to the public of Com
muniSt countries. He must have
needed so badly to win out that
apparently he felt the risk was
worth the result.
The Soviet premier already
has been purging his machine
at the lower levels by dispensing
and shifting about those he
does not trust. The purge now
will probably have to begin al
the upper levels. That will cause
additional shock, even though
the purges no longer involve
bloodletting.
In such conditions the Krem.
lin will need a period of rela-
tive quiet abroad to permit g
measure Of readjustment. Crise;
like the one in Berlin may be
permitted to ease off for 9
! while.

The possibility Of averting a
major fallout hazard with a
simple daily dietary additive
was raised today by a group
Of Midwestern scientists.
But they coupled the sug-
gestion with a stern warning
against "do-it-yourself" medi-
cine, and urged that the pro-
cedure be followed only under
doctors instructions.
The suggested treatment in
wolves the use Of a compound
containing ordinary iodine.
According to the scientific ad-
visory board of the Greater st.
Louis Citizens Committee for
Nuclear Information, this
would minimize the effects Of
radioactive iodine-131.
Iodine-13l is a major COM
ponent Of fallout from a hydro
gen or atomic bomb explosion.
1t is the greatest fallout hazard
in the weeks Immediately after
a blast. After about six weeks.
most Of its radioactivity has
disappeared and it is no longer
regarded as a major hazard.
Concentrates in Thyroid
The st. Louis scientists
pointed out that iodine-l31
taken into the human body in
foods tends to concentrate in
the thyroid gland. The Federal
Radiation Council has recon-
mended that no more than half
a rem" of radiation be alb
sorbed by the thyroid in any
year. A rem is a unit to measure
effects Of radiation on humans.
Offering an admittedly pes
sirnistic" estimate. the scien-
fists said the following a super
bomb test like today's Soviet
50-plus megaton bomb, "the
thyroid of small children might
be expected to receive about is
rem of total radiation during
the present year:
They added:
THE possible hazard to chill
dren's health from expected
iodine-131 levels is present only
while tests are actually in
progress, and for several weeks
after they stop. This hazard,
however small, could be greatly

had issued a similar statement
outside the meeting.
He told the committee to-
days test apparently was even
larger than the so megatons
expected.
To-day, Mr.. Chairman. the
world has taken a great leap
backward toward anarchy and
disaster" Mr.. Stevenson said.
Mr.. Tsarapkin remarked that
it was the United States which
had carried out the greatest
violence against humanity
when it exploded atomic bombs
on Hiroshima and NagaSaki.
Stain Quoted
Mr.. Stevenson said the
United States heard no protest
from the Soviet Union at the
time. In fact, he added, the
late Premier Joseph Stain had
replied at Potsdam when in
formed that the United States
has a nuclear weapon: "I hope
you use it."
The United States-Soviet ex-
change preceded a debate on a
proposal by five Asian-African
nations and YugoSlavia for a
voluntary moratorium on all
nuclear testing. The commit
tee had noted last Friday to
suspend the debate temporarily
and vote, but by agreement the
debate was re-opened this
morning.
The United States an
nounced that it would not press
at this time for its own pend
ing motion for a quick vote on
a United States British resolu-
ton calling for urgent action
on a treaty to ban nuclear
bomb testing under a system of
international controls.
Debate on Apartheid
Elsewhere in the UN. the spe-
cial Political Committee sched-
uled more debate on South At
rica's apartheid policy of racial
segregation. Ghana sought CO.
sponsors before submitting a
resolution recommending that
all countries consider breaking
diplomatic and trade relations
with South Africa. 1t would also
draw the Security Councils at
tention to the United Nation
Charters expulsion provision
"for an early discussion"
The provision says a member
that has persistently violated
the charter may be expelled
from the organization by the
Assembly on recommendation
of the Council.
Oliver Tambo, Deputy Presi-
dent of South Africa's African
National Congress, told a re-
porter he doubted If an expul-
sion motion could get the two
thirds vote necessary to put it
through the Assembly. But he
said he believed a recommenda-
ton for a break in diplomatic
and trade relations with South
Africa could be adopted.

NOTEBOOK
What Don't You Want
Is the Question Now

What DON'T you want for
Christmas, we asked some
males of the species.
We'll, for one thing l don't
want something useless" one
informed us, He had an aunt
with a penchant for useless
gifts at Christmas time. The
vivid recollection of a pair
of ornate Renaissance book
ends that never held any
books close together, still
haunts him.
His word to the wise fe-
male. The incest thing is
to give a man a gift certi-
ficate to a fine mems store
unless he has expressed a
wish for something definite
in the way of wearing ap-
parel." You can't go wrong
with black socks, handker-
chiefs, liquor, and golf balls
if he's a golfer, is his con-
Sidered opinion.
Bills for Christmas gifts
for HIM were what one hus-
band voiced a strong dislike
in receiving. Other than that.
he would take anything"
His eyes frightened when
asked to pin down a specific
Christmas gift desire. I'D
love a Rolls razor" That's
an English razor with its
own strap. You save lots Of
money on blades this way"
he told us.
Firmly, emphatically, and
most certainly, on one young
mans UNWANTED list was
a cigarette lighter. They
never work more than a
week unless they are really
expensive lighters and this
is more than I want a woman
spending on me-" said he.
81 DO WANT a two-way
belt with the buckle that re-
verses" said one dapper man
who was equally adamant
that he didn't want any
ties any woman selected"
Handkerchiefs, the more the
merrier, was his pet gift sug-
geStion. Books I've not been
asked whether I've read or
want" are another pet peeve
of this man we questioned.
But don't be disheartened
gift-bearers, there are other
gifts galore for the men in
your life.

... All need to be in the
right sizes, however, to make
a hit on Christmas day.
so GO FORTH ARMED
WITH THE RIGHT SIZE,
it'll save lots of nasty looks
and plenty of time.
Here are some shopping
tips, too!
Men have always liked tab
collars but difficulty in hook
ing the tiny collar tabs over
tiny collar buttons has kept
many from wearing tab col
lars. Now the snap-fastener
tab collar makes the job easy.
So perhaps here's a new
shirt gift idea for him.
Get him an ascot in a silk
foulard. They really add the
Cary Grant touch to a
leiSure-time shirt and sports
jacket. Another comeback is
the puff handkerchief or
pocket square. for the breast
pocket. Usually of silk, such
as foulard, in printed or a
solid color. the pocket square
is tucked in with the center
of the handkerchief forming
an irregular puff effect.
Matching the tie pattern or
color exactly isn't necessary
but there ought to be some
kind of fashion relationship
to the outfit worn.

Freedom Rider
Freed on Bond
In Mississippi

JACKSON, Miss, May q
(AP).-Freedom Rider Lucre-
tia Collins posted a $500 cash
appeal bond today and became
the first of 81 integrationists
to gain freedom after an at
tempt to use white facilities at
a Jackson bus station.
The 21-year-old senior at
Tennessee All College said she
was leaving to be graduated
with her class Sunday night.
She told newSmen she was
scheduled to graduate with dis
tinction in speech and drama.
She was among those ar
rested Wednesday and con-
victed Friday of breach OF
peace. She told newsmen her
home was in Fairbanks, Alaska
but was booked at the jail as
from Ell Paso, Tex.
She said her father was an
Army career man.
She said she joined the stu
dent non-violence committee
and the Freedom Riders be-
cause she felt it was "a moral
and spiritual obligation. I must
know for myself. -"
The riders were permitted nc
visitors after their transfer tt

terminal. He handed dowr

request Of the prosecution.
Evening star., 1961-05-28

But the Attorney General
listed these steps under the
heading of mission accom-
plished:"
The Federal government has
established that it is behind
safe interstate travel.
The protest against segregat-
ed bus facilities has moved out
of the streets and into the
courts.
The forces Of law and order
have replaced the mobs in deal
ing with the Freedom Riders.
To achieve these objectives,
the Attorney General has had
to resist heavy pressure from
both segregationists and inte-
grationists.
The Attorney General has
not yet convinced the integra-
tionistS that they should await
the outcome of court tests
rather than pour more people
into Southern cities to inflame
the situation.
Limits Are Recognized
Both Mr.. Kennedy and Dep
uty Attorney General Byron r.
White, who directed Federal
operations in Montgomery
agree there is. a limit to what
can reasonably be expected of
local and State forces, no mat
ter how willing they may be
to protect people.
Because of this, Justice
officials feel that travel is still
hazardous in Alabama and
Mississippi. The appeal for a
cooling off period" which fell
on deaf ears last week, was
prompted by concern for in
nocent bystanders. The de-
partment is still concerned.
Another major concern is
the effect of the racial violence
on American prestige abroad
particularly in the light of
President Kennedy's forthcom-
ing trip to Europe.
Attorney General Kennedy
said in his cooling off" state
ment that the three incidents
of mob violence and the threat
of a fourth were seriously dam
aging to Americas reputation.
He mentioned the same prob
lem in a Voice Of America"
broadcast acknowledging past
mistakes but stating there has
been substantial progress in
advancing the interests of mi
noritieS in this country.
Action Planned Early
| AS Mr.. Kennedy and his
aides took a breather for the
