And therefore I must say, as
these talks come to a conclu-
sion, I think express the
sentiment of all of tn e
Americans who participated,
our great appreciation to
the Prime Minister, to Secre-
tary of State Lord Home and
to the other delegates, for an
other happy milestone in the
long series of meetings which
have existed between the
United States and Great Brit
ain in previous years.
Prime Minister Macmillan
Mr.. President. I want to
thank him very much for the
words that you have used. On
behalf of myself, of the Secre-
tary of State and all my COL
leagues. thank you and Mr..
Secretary Rusk for the kind
ness and courtesy which
you have shown us in the last
few days.
This has been a very happy
visit. I am delighted that we
have been able. in your own
words. to make friendship both
private and public which I feel
certain will be good for both
our countries and for the fu-
ture of all the free world.
Thank you. Mr.. President;
you have shown me in particu-
lar SO many acts of kindness
in these days that I really
hardly know how to thank you.
1t has been quite an experience
over the last 10 days. 1 came
to lunch with you in Key
West. $500 miles altogether
very gOOQ luncn IL was, JnOugn.
And then after I came here
you have given me helicopters
and every possible convenience
taken me boating-and ev-
erything.
But the point is we have
had just friendly talks, some
times in private and sometimes
with our collaborators, which
is the basis of confidence that
l hope and feel is established
between us, and on that
friendship I trust that we shall
long be able to work for the
benefit of our countries and
for all the world.
I thank you most warmly.

Evening star., 1961-04-09

We have a statement for you
on what we and our two Secre-
taries of State and other ad-
viSers have been discussing in
the last four days.
We have had a series of can
did and friendly talks. We have
discussed the present world
situation in general, and in
particular the major issues of
international relations which
affect our two countries.
Sacrifices Seen Necessary
We have reached a very high
level of agreement on our eSti-I
mate of the major of the prob
LENS which we face. We realize
all too we'll that to meet these
problems will require from US
many sacrifices.
= Open and friendly discussinos
have served to clarity and con-
+. firm our common commitment
? to those who care for freedom.
We are in complete agreement
as to the gravity and depth of
y the dangers in the present
world situation for those ma
: tons who wish to retain their
!. independence and the priceless
right of choice.
= While we recognize that the
/ core of Western security
Z against armed aggression con-
tinues to be the North Atlantic
: Alliance, we also discussed how
= our countries can help to
strengthen the free world as a
whole.
!: We have considered what
measures might be advisable
to take, together with our allies.
to insure the cohesion, effec-
tiveness and adaptability of the
Atlantic community in a chang
ing world.
To this end we have exam
ined the world economic and
financial situation, including
the problems of imbalance and
short-term capital movements;
the need for coordination to
meet these problems by in
creased utilization of existing
international machinery; the
need for more effective assist
ance to nations in an earlier
stage of economic development
and the need for maintenance
of world trade at the highest
possible level. We have rec
ognized both the urgency and
the importance of further steps
toward the economic and politi-
cal unity of Europe.
U. N. Support Affirmed
We reaffirm our vigorous
support of the United Nations
and our determination to op-
pose the attempts currently be-
ing made to undermine It's au-
thority as an instrument for
peace and security in the world.
We have given close atten-
ton to Southeast Asia and spe-
officially to the critical prob
lens of Laos and Wet Nam.
We are agreed upon both the
Importance and the difficulty
Of working towards satisfactory
relations with the Soviet Union.
We also reaffirm the determi-
nation of our governments to
do their utmost to bring to o
successful conclusion within a
J reasonable period of time the

gamma scatter" in air. It Is
known that a foxhole in the
ground will give a certain
amount of protection from
gamma rays. The metallic sides
Of vehicles also will cut down
gamma radiation to some ex-
tent.
But what happens when a
gamma ray, racing through the
air, strikes a molecule of gas
like oxygen or nitrogen and is
DETECTED, or "ricochets?" How
many such rays actually reach
a supposedly safe" location to
do unexpected damage? Can
gamma scatter be predicted
and protected against?
These and other questions
will be answered once Dugway's
RIFF starts operating. The fall
out area is certain to produce
a beneficial "fallout" Of know
ledge for military and civilian
alike.

BY WILLIAM HINES
Star Science Writer


An atomic fallout area as
big as a city block is nearing
completion in a lonely corner
of the Great Salt Lake desert
in Utah. BY this time next
year experiments there will
have given new insight into
the dangers that follow the
explosion of a hydrogen bomb.
AS far as the Army Chemical
Corps is concerned, the ques-
lions that will be answered
there are chiefly military ones.
But the Pathological Test Fa-
cility at Dugway Proving
Ground will add to the scanty
fund of civil defense informa-
ton on fallout as well.
Only under military auspices
and only in such a remote
spot as the Utah desert-could
anything as risky as radioac-
tivity be played with on a large
scale. And even the military
will step with due respect in
the vicinity of RIFF.
Capt. Joe Pirkl, Army chem
list and physicist who will
operate the facility when it is
completed later this year, says
it will give for the first time
a ready means Of getting fast
answers to questions about
fallout for field operations"
Radioactive BIB Shot
How do you simulate fallout,
short Of shooting off bomb?
The answer is: salt" the area
with tiny pellets Of radioac-
tivity, much as crooks used to
salt worthless mines by artifi-
cially introducing bits Of gold.
The gold dust" of Capt.
Pirkl's RITZ will be spheres of
iron about the size Of BIB shot,
with minute amounts Of radio
active cobalt-60 electroplated
onto the outside. Each pellet
will have only $40 Of a milli-
curie Of activity associated
with it-about the amount of
gamma radiation In 100000
ounce of radium. You could
hold such a pellet in your hand
or even swallow it-without
risking much damage.
But there will be between
20 million and Is million of
these pellets strewn across
RITZ, a 200-yard-diameter
contaminated area" The total
activity in RITZ will be about
$500 curieS-as much as is
contained in IA pounds of
radium. This will be the level
of activity at a height Of 3
feet above the ground-the
approximate level radiation
detecting instruments are nor
mally carried, and at which
the radiation-sensitive human
reproductive organs are located.
located.
Remote Control Devices
To remain long in such a
radiation field would be to risk
sickness or even death. For
this reason, remote control
vehicles and automated devices
are being installed. Though
experimental animals and con-
ceivably even an occasional
inquisitive scientist viii ven
ture out on RITZ. exposure will
not be Q necessary part Of the
operation.
The mixture Of cobalt and
iron is used for several
reasons:
/. Both substances are read
lily available and reasonably
cheap.
2. The energy levels Of the
gamma radiation in cobalt-60
are known precisely and can
be taken into account when
planning experiments.
8. Cobalt-60 is a sufficiently
long-lived substance that the
activity level will not change
from day to day during a pro-
tracted experiment.
4. Iron has the nice property
of being attracted to magnets;
hence, a magnetic vacuum
cleaner" can sweep up the
pellets whenever necessary.
RITZ will be the only fallout
simulator in the free world,

Huron First Lake
Found by Whites

CLEVELAND. - The first
white men did not arrive in the
Great Lakes region until the
early 160Os. James lie Caron.
a Franciscan friar, was the first
white man to rest eyes on Lake
Huron, in 1915. Champlain
spotted Huron at almost the
same time and is credited also
with discovering Lake Ontario
in the same year.
A copper hunter, Etienne
Brule, came upon Superior in
1925. Gene Nicholet, an adven-
turer, found Lake Michigan in
1884. Lake Erie was the last
the white men found. The
French had known as early as
1640 of its existence, but it was
not until 1899 that Father Louis
Joliet made his first voyage on
the lake.

The Bureau OF Economic
Regulation has asked the Civil
Aeronautics Board to start i'm
mediately its hearings on con-
troll of Northeast Airlines by
Hughes Tool Co.
The bureau, a part of the
CAB, also has recommended
that the board at the same time
continue its separate proceed
ings on the question of renewal
of Northeast's route between
New York and Florida.
The bureau said the renewal
proceedings should be continued
on its present schedule, set to
start January 9, but that the
hearing should be limited for
the present to the issue of pub
lie convenience and necessity.
Paul Y. Seligson, the bureau
counsel, recommended that the
CAB defer a hearing On the
selection of the airline to oper-
ate the New York Florida route
for which Northeast's authority
is expiring, pending a decision
in the control proceeding and
on the question of need.
Authorized Aid
The CAB on December 8 au-
thorized Northeast to obtain
emergency financial assistance
from Hughes Tool Co. pend
ing a determination as to
whether control of Northeast
by the company or Howard
Hughes has been or will be
acquired, and whether such
control is in the public interest.
The board ordered the con-
troll investigation set down for
hearing on an expedited basis.
In his motion saying the
