Federal Judge Johnson Backs ICC Order on
 Outlawing Segregation
By The Associated Press

A federal judge in Alabama to- day backed up an Interstate Commerce Commission order with a court decree outlawing segre- gated buses and terminals in his district.
 The court action in Alabama came as Mississippi and Georgia police arrested Negroes who en- tered white waiting rooms or sought service in restaurants pre- viously used by white passengers at bus terminals.
 US. Dist. Judge Frank John son Jr. issued an order in Mont gomery prohibiting Alabama asl- thorities from enforcing tradition al racial barriers. His order was the result of bloody race riots involving Freedom Riders in Montgomery last May. It coin cided with an ICC ruling outlaw ing segregation practices on buses and in terminals over the nation
 The Alabama order applies te the middle district of the state which covers 24 counties.

Sen. Dodd Says US. Must
 Speedily Make the Death Ray Bomb

WASHINGTON M = Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, D-Conn.), said today the United States must speedily make "every possible eff fort to convert the Neutren Bomb from a theoretical certainty to a practical reality"
 Dodd, member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, urged resumption of US. atmo- spheric testing as reports circu- lated that any such test might involve experiments with the neutron, death-ray bomb.
 Such bomb has been described as producing death without des- truction of material matter by blasting out unseen, unfelt neu- irons capable of penetrating as much as three feet of concrete. Supposedly, it could wipe out the populations without doing major damage to large cities.
 Jay w. Gildner,, assistant White House press secretary, in reply to questions about US. policy on atmospheric tests, referred newsmen to President Kennedy's news conference on Oct. Il. At that time Kennedy said the So- viets had conducted more than 20 tests in the atmosphere and
 added, i've have to make a judg.
 ment as to what is in the best in terests of our security"
 .1 The New York Daily New
 quoted an unidentified Washing ton official as saying: Its a saf assumption that we will be test ing the Neutron Bomb very soon.
 The New York Journal-Ameri can reported it had learned tn Death-Ray Bomb "is the prim goal in the resumption of nuclea tests by the United States, an,
 not another H-Bonlb."
 J Essentially, the difference be
 tween neutrons and other type
 of radiation is that they penetrat, man-made structures and kill
 animal and human life inside without leaving the building oa nearby ground saturated with the casualty producing contamination.

US. Soviets Express Optimism to Agreeing on LIN. Secretary General

UNITED NATIONS, NY. R = The United States and the Soviet Union expressed optimism today that they could agree soon on the selection of an acting JUN. Score tary-G General to replace the late Dag Hannmarskjo jold.
 They did so after the United States and Britain offered a conn promise move to break the dead lock over the one matter that has remained unsettled.
 And Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian Zorin told re- porters, "I think we are near an agreement--on very reasonable basis"
 He said 90 after conference with US. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson,
 The move consisted of state rnents by Stevenson and British Minister of State Joseph Godber announcing their governanents were ready to let the acting Sec retary-G General decide for himself how many principal advisers he should have.
 Disagreement between the So viet Union and the West on this issue has been the only thing that has held up the choice of U Than1 of Burma as Interim Secretary General.

Oillnen Bitter At Upconling
 Oil Lease Sale

ANCHORAGE iR = The lccal oil industry today expressed sur prise and bitterness at report that Gov. Egan is considering re- jecting the bids in an upcoming oil lease sale unless they total at least $7 million.
 Tn Juneau Gov. Egan denied ever making such a statement, but did say the state has the right of rejection of bids at any time. The report was not carried by the Associated Press.
 "Egan had better be happy with anything he gets," one oilman said.
 ''I don't know if he is aware of the mechanical problems of off shore oil exploration Gall the state offering is offshore lands) but it has proved expensive every where," he added.
 Another industry spokesman said bittrely, 'she has put a price tag of $30 an acre on the land.
 We have highly trained sci entists who spend lot of money evaluating the land and we must bid on the basis of their find- in&s.
 sIhis may be a decisive factor in whether the industry con- tinues to stay in Alaska. Recent accidents where expensive equip ment has been lost in trying to prepare wildcat locations and g steady string of dry holes have not proved very encouraging fol continued operations" the mar concluded.
 The consensus among oil men was that the threat of an acreage price tag is unreasonable and that 1t will not cause any com pany to up their bids.
 One, in fact, expressed the opinion that 1t migh. have a re- verse effect and cause the com panies t0 eceals Egan's bluff'' and hold their bids down.

 The Attorney Generals of New York and New Jersey previously advised Egan that the firm plac- ing the misleading ads had agreed to terminate the advertisements.

 One youngster, crossing Front St. from between some parked cars, ran into the side of a mov- ing pickup and was taken to MMM Hospital for observation He was released shortly to his mother, a little more wise in the ways of street crossing.
 Although most businesses and private homes went out of their way to join in the Halloween spirit with the children, dispen- sing candy, fruit, and other favors, many of the recipients re- turned the favor by engaging ir acts of outright vandalism.
