BERLIN, Oct. 81 CAP).-The
United States Army appears
to have stopped sending its
military assistance cars along
the lifeline Autobahn between
Berlin and West Germany.
An informed source said no
military assistance cars had
made the 110-mile trip be-
tween West Berlin and West

hours since one was turned
back by the Russians early
Monday.
West Berlin authorities had
reported the cars moving with

The Americans sent the pa

Dirty One, Lapp Believes
DR.. Ralph E. Lapp. a nuclear

the monster bomb was a very
dirty one.
Lingering fallout is the long

spewed into the stratosphere,
to be blown around the world
and finally to settle to earth.
What does this amount of
fallout mean to public health?
The Public Health Service said
last week in a statement an
ticipating the 50-megaton ex-
ploSion that the fallout from
it and the previous tests should
not reach levels that would
cause any undue concern.
