In Line For

Washington, D. G. - Special
Legal counsel for the NAACP,
Thurgood Marshall is under con-
sideration for one of the three
vacancies in the U. S. End Cir
cult Court of Appeals by Presi-
dent Kennedy. Marshall could
have had a District Court ap-
pointment if he had wanted it
but the Presidents brother,
Robert Kennedy seems to be
holding back on the Circuit
Court.
1t is stated that Marshall's ap-
pointment to the Circuit Court
of Appeals, second highest court
in America, would be more for
the Democrats than the ten pre-
vious appointments.
1t appears contrary to good
faith of Negro America why
Kennedy's brother is reluctant
about Marshall's appointment
to this post because there is a
great deal of pressure being
built up in big cities where the
Negro vote is the strongest; For
they are beginning to be vigor-
ously sensitive to the power of
the courts and would regard

NeutrOn Bomb, or "Death Ray'' May
 Be Next A-Weapon

WASHINGTON LR - A death ray" bomb that would kill all life in its target area has been dis cussed as the weapon of the fu- ture. But just how far in the future is worrying at least one. senator.
 The projected bomb - which might make the aWeSome hydro gen bomb seem clumsy-is called the neutron bomb, and it has been thrust back into the news by Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, D-Conn.
 Dodd hinted the Russians could be secretly experimenting to de- velop the neutron bomb while the United States is honoring an atom test moratorium.
 He put forward such a possibil- ity as an argument for resuming tests.
 Dodd-who referred to the neu- tron bomb as "a kind of death ray" said in a Senate speech Wednesday that the bomb "would do next to no physical damage. It would result in no radioactive contamination. But it would inn mediately destroy all life in the target area"
 Dodd, in warning of the pos sibility of the Russians develop ing such a bomb, said it was one way 'for destroying us at rela- lively small risk to themselves.
 Scientists have speculated on two possible versions of the bomb
 l. A small nuclear reactor that would shoot radioactive neutrons through a lead tube.
 2. A scaled-down version of an atom bomb tailored to give out more neutron radiation than a bomb producing energy. In con- ventional A-bombs, 85 per cent of the energy causes blast, shock and heat; the rest is radiation
 When told of the two alter native versions, Dodd told news men-"You are not far off"
 Asked to explain the nature of the bomb he had in mind, Dodd said: q think I know, but I'm sure I should not say"

Gruening Would Provide s Million More Annually For Fishery Research

WASHINGTON LR - A bill to give fishery states more than $5 million annually in additional federal research funds won en- dorsement from Alaska represen- tatives, the Interior Department and industry spokesmen.
 The bill by Sen. Ernest Gruen- ing and P other senators would allocate to the Secretary of the Interior for distribution to the states 30 per cent of customs re- ceipts on imported fishery pro- ducts.
 This would be in addition to 30 per cent of such customs re- ceipts now turned over to the h. terior Secretary under the Salton- stall-Kennedy Act for fishery re- search and promotion through the US. Fish and Wildlife Service.
 If the bill were enacted it would mean that 50 per cent of customs revenues on fishery pro- ducts would go toward research and development of domestic fisheries-half by the federal de- partment and half by agencies in producing states.
 Sen. Gruening estimated the to- tai amount at about $5,321, ,OO0 an- nually He said 38 states would receive grants under the bill.
 Alaska salmon fisheries, he said, "were wrecked through de- liberate nonfeasance and malfea- sance (during territorial days) of the federal government after warnings by the people of Alaska in words as strong and as plain as words could be 2"
