Low Yield Blast Ends
Pacific Attest Series

HONOLULU. Nov. 5 (AP).-
The United States has endec
its Pacific, high altitude nu.
clear test series by detonatine
an unspectacular low-yield de.
vice over Johnston Island.
The shot was the fifth sue.
cess In nine high-altitude at.
tempts this year, and repre-.
sented a breakthrough in the
series. Only two week ago, the
United States had one success
and four failures on its score
card.
-Four straight winners" put
the program on the plus side,
ana then Joint Task Force 8
announced the competition of
the long. drawn-out serie S
which should have ended last
July.
Explosion Is Small
After treating the Hawaiian
Islands to two magnificent au-
roral displays, one which was
seen from New Zealand to
Alaska. and two lesser sights,
scientists at distant Johnston
Island bowed out with a srela-
lively small explosion,
In Honolulu, some $50 miles
away. it appeared only as a
blue and white flash of light,
although 1t had the strength of
the atom bomb that leveled
Hiroshima in 1915.
The low-yield device was
lifted skyward from its Johns
ton Island launching pad by
an Army ike-Hercules rocket.
1t marked the first use of the
Nike as a nuciear carrier in
altitude testing, and was the
first occasion on which q de-
vice had been exploded at the
scheduled time.

to four days late.

they can do it by forcing

What is hurting him, how
ever, and causing the great
lift in Republican morale is
that he has tried to lead
Congress across new borders
and has failed. He chose the
issues and proposed the leg

jected or dismembered. The
result has been q focus on
his failures.
The President is justified
in feeling that political tech
niques should change with

many ways to overcome old

either adopt some Of their

MANILA, Philippines, Aug. 3
(AP) President Diosdado Ma
capagal today ordered immed-
late deportation to the United
States of American millionaire
Harry Stonehill and his asso-
ciate, Robert Brooks, as I'M
desirable aliens.
Mr.. Macapagal, acting on
recommendation Of the depor-
tation board, said Stonehill and
Brooks had been found to be
a menace to the security of
the country after a trial lasting
five months.
Both Americans were found
guilty of violating the country'S
banking laws, bribing officials,
engaging in economic sabotage,
tax evasion and other charges.
Two other Stonehill associ-
ates, John Brooks, an Ameri-
can, and Karl Beck, a German,
were placed on probation for
two years.
Stonehill, As, from Chicago,
came here as a serviceman
during World War II and stay
ed to build a business empire
in tobacco, oil, glass and real
estate.
The case rocked Philippine
political circles repeatedly. De-
velopments included the muir
der of the governments key
witness, the dismissal recently
of two other cabinet members
who allegedly were involved
with Stonehill.
The Manila Bulletin, in an
editorial, said Stonehill prob
ably was the only person out
side the government whose in
fluence was so great he could
have overthrown the govern
ment if the Philippines had a
parliamentary system like Brit
aims.

Financial regulations provide

all tariff receipts would go into
the fund and would be used to
improve agriculture and pro-
mote the common agriculture
policy.
Mr.. Heath offered Britain's
reply to the markets proposal

exports. Sources said the reply
contained some 20 suggested
amendments, including one
similar to a Belgian proposal

Dixie's Power in Congress Attributed
To Long Service by Its Lawmakers

The Southern Democratic
primaries are returning more
than familiar faces for the
next Congress. They are also
returning men whose already
great power-gained through
the congressional seniority
system. plus high Southern
personal political talent - is
now being still more in
creased through the sheer
fact that again they have
survived.
Dixie, thus far In its pri-
maries, Is in no mood for
much change in its congress
sional delegations. Senior
members are being renomi-
mated with little opposition
or none. And in the South,
still a one-party region so
far as Congress is concerned,
denomination is equivalent in
nearly every case to re-elec-
ton.
For Dixie understands
what no other section under
stands half so well. To have
really potent representation
it is necessary to let your
Representatives stay in Con-
gress long enough to accum-
ulate real seniority.
So, the meaning Of the
South'S primary mood this
year is that the already deep
entertainments of Southern
power in Congress are being
dug yet deeper and wider.
Thus 1t is that Southern pri-
maries have a national sig
nificance not to be found in
any other part Of the Nation.
This is so because no one
mans vote automatically
equals another mans vote in
Congress. The true decision
rests in the legislative COM
mittees - and the kernel Of
the true decision rests within
the chairmen. These chair

Many Opportunities Seen for President
To Bolster Strength This Fall

President Kennedy plans
to concentrate his fall cam
paigning in areas where he
can pick up not just Demo-
cratic but New Frontier
votes. The opportunities are
substantial.
Four Republican incum-
bent Senators have died
within the year and two 9TH
ers decided not to stand for
reelection. Reapportionment
due to population changes
offers q chance to gain pro-
Kennedy newcomers to dilute
the conservative influences
In the House.
This Is particularly true in
California where aid to Gov.
Brown could also mean re-
firing Richard Nixon from
the Presidential sweepstakes.
These are the pluses pos
sible to the President in a
situation with many mega
tive aspects. His best efforts
would not, for example, af-
feet the balky committee
chairmen who have seized
power from the party lead
ers in Congress.
This. in turn. makes for a
certain confusion when it
comes to beating the drums
for a Democratic Congress.
Republicans can be expected
to drive home the point that
the President already has
majorities in each house and
that they defy him.

they can safely deny the

manships do not fall mostly
to Southerners through dark
conspiracy. They fall that
way because seniority Of serv-
ice is the route to chairman
ship and the Southern fell
lows have a way of coming
back and back here to become
incredibly seniors"
Thus, little Arkansas, in
re-electing Senator J. w. Full
bright except for the formal
tiles of the November cleo
ton. has sent back a man
whose voice in the great af-
fairs Of the world will easily
surpass those Of all the six
Senators from our three big
gest States-New York. Cali
fornia and Pennsylvania.
For Senator Fulbright is
chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.
AS such, his views on the
proper conduct Of foreign
policy are more nearly de-
cisive. in the vital, inside
stages. than those, say, of
Senators Heating and Javits
Of New York, Kuchel and
Engle Of California and Scott
and Clark of Pennsylvania,
all put together.
Similarly. in re-electing
Representative Wilbur Mills
again, except for the No
vember formalities-an even
smaller number of Arkansas
voters has returned a man
whose influence over the eco
nomic affairs of this Nation
is greater than that Of all the
junior Congressman from
several States. For Mr.. Mills
is chairman of the House
