You'll never be sure how I'M
comfortable you've been this
summer because the Weather
Bureau isn't telling.
The bureau has quietly
stopped giving out what 1t
called a Discomfort Index" 1t
was too uncomfortable for the
bureau, officials admit.
The Discomfort Index" was
a sort of combination tempera-
ture-relative humidity formula
that told the people how the
weather was affecting them.
1t was reported for two sum-
mers on a trial basis. 1t flunked.
There were too many COM
plants" one bureau official
said. THE number of people
who disliked it were in far
greater number than those who
didn't"
The index. which was pub
lished daily in the newspapers,
told the public that Ten per
cent are uncomfortable when
the index reaches 10; half the
people are uncomfortable when
it reaches rs and everyone is
uncomfortable at 49,"
When Washington's index
more often than not hit the

By the Associated Press

The chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission voiced con-
fidence today that the United
States still leads in big power
nuclear weapons despite the
rapid-fire Soviet weapons test
ing program.
II don't think the Russians
are ahead of us in large
nuclear weapons" Acc Chair
man Glenn T. Seaborg told
reporters. He had Just made
a secret report to members of
Congress on the intelligence
gained from the detection of
nine Russian blasts in the past
two weeks.
DR.. Seaborg, along with De-
Tense Department and Central
Intelligence Agency officials,
met with the Senate House
Congressional Atomic Energy
Committee.
DR.. Seaborg declined COM
ment on reports from other
sources that this country will
resume nuclear tests of its own
within a week or 10 days, but
said there is no change in the
United States policy to conduct
its tests underground"
He said the rapidity of Rus
sian testing had made analysis
of the Soviet tests more diff
cult. But he said much has
been learned and more infor-
nation is expected from COM
plete analysis of the radioactive
debris left by the Soviet blasts
and collected by the United
States Air Force.
DR.. Seaborg said he is conf
dent that the United States,
while testing underground, can
go a long way toward keeping
pace with the Russians even if
they continue (testing) in the
atmosphere"

Democrat of California, chair

group, told a reporter that
Atomic Energy Commission
and Defense Department ex-
perts are working night and
day" to get the American tests
under way.
Mr.. Holifield said that the
experiments will start with a
number of underground blasts
of relatively low yield.
Power Yield Explained
Various explanations have
been advanced for the wide
range of power yield detected
from the nine Russian blasts.
Two shots yesterday were re-
ported by the Acc as being
in the low to intermediate
range.
In nuclear Technology, low
range could mean a force COM
parable to the American atomic
bombs that blasted Hiroshima
and Nsgasaki. They had the
explosive equivalent of 10000
tons of TINT.
Some shots in the new So
Wet series have exceeded the
one million ton range. Some
scientists nave suggested the
Russians are testing trigger de-
vices for a Superbomb that
Soviet Premier Khrushchev has
said he will build with the
punch of 100 million tons OF
INT.
Meanwhile, the Public Health
Service reversed itself last
night and said there had been
a mistake earlier in the day
when it reported an abrupt in
crease in atmospheric radia-
ton detected by it's fallout sta
ton in Phoenix, Ariz.
A spokesman said the cor
rected reading for Tuesday was
more comparable to figures
earlier in the month" How
ever, the Health Service stressed
that even the mistaken higher
reading was not high enough
to pose a health threat.

LEOPOLDvILLE, Sept. IA
(AP) Bitter fighting flared
again in Elisabethville today.
Reports from the capital Of
Katanga said white officered
Katanka troops fired on United
Nations aircraft and bonn
barded a refugee camp with
mortars.
Reports reaching Leopoldville
said that during the night Ka-
tangans launched three deter
mined attacks against the city's
post office but were beaten off
by U. N. Gurkhas with heavy
losses.
Unofficial estimates put Ka-
tangan casualties at anywhere
up to $50 while U. N. killed and
wounded were reported to have
scared to around 80.
The headquarters of the Ka-
tangan army in Elisabethville
was burning fiercely as the re-
suit CT a U. N. bombardment,
it was reported. The U. N.
opened up on the Katangan
camp after antiaircraft guns
there had fired on a U. N. plane
as it tried to land at the nearby
airport. The plane was not be-
lieVed to have been damaged.
Commanders Confident
Local U. N. commanders ex-
pressed confidence that guns
in the camp could be silencec
by tonight.
A U. N. relief column, mean
while, was fighting its way
through to $50 beleagured Irish
soldiers under attack in ia
dotville, a mining center so
miles from Elisabethville.
The U. N. achievements
were last reported held up at
a broken bridge Is miles from
the surrounded Irish contin-
gent.
The Irish last night battled
off two attacks with great
gallantry," it was reported, and
one Irishman was wounded.
The U. N. said that consid-
cradle numbers of non-Congo-
lese, both in uniform and in
civilian clothes, we're taking
part in fighting against U. N.
forces.
TShOmbe in Palace
Messages reaching Leopold
vile reported that Katanga
President Noise Tshombe was
holed up in his presidential
palace surrounded by hundreds
of his troops.
/ He originally sought refuge
in the British Consulate in
Elisabethville but moved on
/ several times after that, it was
reported.
! The badly damaged Katanga
radio station, scene of bitter
fighting yesterday, was put
back into operation by occupy
ing U. N. troops this morning.
But later the Katangans cut
off all power in the city.
Throughout yesterday Ka-
tangans, led by white officers
bombarded an Elisabethville
camp housing 10000 Baluba
tribal refugees, according to
reports, and opened up again
today with mortars and ma
chine guns.

D. {. Tax Rise
Seen Ringing
On Mcmillan
Senate Set to OK
$270.4 Million. But
Issue Is Unsettled
By GRACE BASSETT
Star staff Writer

The Senate today is ready to
pass a $270.4 million District
budget counting on IS million
in revenues from a sales tax not
yet levied by Congress.
Chances of the tax clearing
Congress depend on House
District Committee Chairman
Mcmillan.
The South Carolina Demo-
crat has eluded reporters seek
ing some clue to his plans for
"a hours.
Mr.. Mcmillan is a key figure
in the revenue picture because
a Senate-House conference on
conflicting tax bills awaits his
call.
Agreement Hinted At
On Tuesday Mr.. Mcmillan
gave Senator Byrd, Democrat
of West Virginia, who handled
the budget committee, the
impression he would try to work
out a tax agreement. Partly
because of that understanding,
the Byrd appropriations sub
committee recommended gen.
eral fund spending based on
S54 million of added taxes
from the 8 per cent sales tax
cleared by the House earlier
this year.
Without the proposed l per
cent sales tax increase, gener-
al fund spending asked by the
Senate Committee would be
decreased by at least IS million.
The cut would be felt in pub
lie works.
1T is my thought that,
should capital outlay have to
be cut. that no project would
be eliminated" Senator Byrd
said. Some money would be
spent on each works project
approved by Congress. So
our public works commitment
would stand"
$50 Million Payment
Senator Byrd was optimistic,
however, that Mr.. Mcmillan
would call a conference and
that at least the sales tax
not in dispute in Senate and
House bills-would clear.
The Senate committee ap-
proved a $50 million Federal
payment, the same the House
passed.
Spending recommended to
the Senate is Sc million above
the current appropriation of
$264.5 million and $2.3 million
above the House-passed money
bill, Congress freed $25 million
for a Federal payment in the
year ended last June 80.

transfer up to $500 million
