Samoa Is a good 1000 miles
away from the detonation site.
The aurorae there = possibly
occurring from all three shots
will be distinct from the au-
'rorae coming from the fireballs.
The Samoan shows win be due
to electrified particles coursing
in bow-like fashion along the
lines of magnetic force sur
rounding the earth.
Observation Of the detona-
tions with the naked eye" the
announcement said, "wiIl not
result in any visual impair
ment to persons outside the
established testing area, but OBJ
servers might be temporarily
dazzled as they would be if
they looked momentarily di-
rectly at the SUM-"
And the Acc gave this word
OF caution:
Observation Of the detona-
tions through binoculars, tele-
scopes, or other nght-concen-
trating optical instruments
could result in eye damage at
points outside Of the estab-
lished testing area"
One Of the higher shots may
disrupt one of the Van Allen
radiation belts which Is at an
altitude Of 500 miles.
Belt Loss Feared
The joint announcement Of
the tests by the Acc and De-
fenSe Department indicated
that the concern voiced by some
scientists-that a high-altitude
blast would wipe out one of the
Van Allen belts-was ground
less.
These scientists were reported
worried that the rupture might
be so severe that it would take
100 years to replenish the par
ticles constituting the belt. The
natural particles come from
the sun and beyond, and are
trapped in the form Of belts by
the earth's magnetic field.
The Acc announcement said
a panel Of scientists called to-
gether at President Kennedy's
to review possible ef-
fects Of high-altitude tests on
the radiation belts concluded
that any disruption of the inner
belt Is expected to disappear
within a few months. It said
any disruption would not cause
a health hazard.

The most spectacular shots
of the United States nuclear
tests in the Pacific will begin
in about three days. These are
the high-altitude bursts whose
brilliant glow will be seen for
hundreds of miles.
The three or four blasts with
their high-soaring nuclear fire
balls and glittering aurorae
may temporarily disrupt some
r a dio communications and
radar observations.
Militarily, the shots are OBJ
viously designed to test the
effects Of high-altitude blasts

munications gear-and on elec-
tronic monitors designed to
detect oncoming missiles.

Senator Humphrey Is in a pow
erful position to translate his
words into action.
But District budget hearings
in the Senate could begin in
two weeks. The House has fin
lshed committee consideration
of the money bill for the year
beginning July / and is await
ing its committee report.
Therefor the Senator urged
Supt. Hansen to act quickly.
Senator Humphrey indicated
he would support at least $751;
900 for public school library
books in the District. He said
that would bring expenditures
to a minimum Of 81 a pupil,
which is 50 and $3.50 below the
national standard.
"I was disturbed to learn
that this year for the first time,
the Board Of Education asked
for $25,000 for elementary
school books" Senator Hum
phrey said in remarks prepared
for a speech on the floor. The
Board of Commissioners, how
ever, removed this entire sum
from the budget before it
reached Congress.
Every teacher knows what
textbook he is using and how
many pupils he has, according
to Senator Humphrey. He said
teachers knew, too, the condi-
ton of books being used.
This is all that needs to be
known" he said. But Congress
has to know how many books
are needed and what the cost

THE Federal employe unior
daes checkoff bill apparently
has been shelyed by Congress
for the year.
although sent up by the
President Kennedy with the
enthusiastic support of Gov
eminent employe unions. thele
appears to be no sentiment in
the House and Senate Civil
Service Committees for action
on the bill this year.
Neither Chairman Johnston
ner Chairman Murray Of the
Senate and House Civil Serv-
ioe Committees has sponsored
the bill, nor is there any indi-
cation that they will this year
The, one committee member
to sponsor the bill is Repre-
sentative Olsen, Democrat OF
Montana.
The feeling among key
members Of the House and
Senate Civil Service Commit
tee is that pay raise legislation
is the main consideration this
year and that the dues check
of bill can wait until next
year. Furthermore, Chairman
Johnston of the Senate COM
niittee is in a hot battle for re-
ELECTION in South Carolina and
thinks it would not do him
much good with the rural folks
bAck home to sponsor the
measure at this time.
AS for Chairman Murray Of
the House group, he is cool t.
the whole idea. To secure ac-
ton on the dues checkoff leg
isiation, the more liberal men,
beers of the committee would
haye to initiate action by
themselves. And they figure
that they have their hands full
with the pay raise legislation
without having the dues check
off measure.
Consequently, action is un-
likely until next year at the
earliest. It's certain that the
measure will be one of the pri-
ntafy legislative goals Of Fed
eral and postal employe unions
next year. The bill would pro-
vide for an automatic union
dues checkoff system in Gov
eminent on a voluntary basis,

ploye's union dues each month
| if he so authorizes 1t. The un.
ions would pay for the cost Of
the checkoff.
30 YEAR RETIREMENT -
We've had a lot of letters and
calls from Federal employees
wanting to know the prospects
of the bill to allow Govern
ment workers to retire option
ally on full annuities after 80
years Of service at age 55.
The. bill has a chance, but
how much of a chance depends
on when Congress finally dis
poses Of the pay raise legisla-
ton and whether enough time
or inclination remains for Con-
gresS to act on the retirement
measure this year.
AS was pointed out in regard
to the union dues checkoff bill.
Congress is preoccupied with
the pay raise bill to the virtual
exclusion Of any other Federal
employe bills thus far. The 80
year retirement bill is far from
dead-but at the moment its
chances are less than $3.50.
Its current status: 1t was ap-
proved by the Senate Civil
Service Committee last year
and is awaiting Senate action.
No action on it yet by the

of the character, and it was
played on the same level
throughout except for some
scenes when theatrical fire was
struck. However, Miss Fair de-
serves braves and great praise
for doing as well as she did with
a role which calls for a genius.
Henry Klein was physically
well cast and did well as John
Buchanan, a murkily motivated
character. The other roles,
which were practically canoes,
were extremely well done and a
credit to the Rockville Little
Theatre Group; for not many
amateur groups can boast such
excellent acting in depth. Out
standing were Nell Hubbard as
Nellie Ewell, the girl who wins
the doctor; Anne Wattam and
Ray Maryman as Alma's par
ents; Sally Scott as Rosa Con-
zales, and Eunice Kennedy as
Mrs. Bassett. Paul Woodall, jr.

son of the local doctor. In their
attempts to achieve a meaning
full relationship neither can I'M
derstand what the other needs.
Their relationship becomes a
psychological sparring match;
and when they finally begin to
be aware, they realize it is too
late. He has met another, much
simpler girl, and Alma can do
nothing. At the end he has as
sumed some of Alma's qualities
of the soul, and Alma has as
sumed some Of his qualities of
the flesh.
The production O. Summer
and Smoke" rises or falls on the
performance of Alma Winemill-
er, which certainly must be one
of the longest and most difficult
female roles in modern drama.
Jaime Fair does an amazing job
in many scenes in capturing the
character of this girl whose
tragedy is that she cannot COM
municate. When Miss Fair is
successful, such as in the scene
with the literary group and the
final scene with John Buchan.
an when she realizes they have
passed each other by, there are
moments of great theatre which
literally held the audience spell
bound. However, other scenes
did not catch theatrical fire be-
cause Miss Fair seemed to be
externalizing without making
the audience aware of the inner
turmoil. This was noticeable in
her encounter with John Blu
chanan when he lectures her
sardonically on human anatomy.
The main weakness was that
hers was not a total conception

Frank Barnhart did a virtuo-
SO directorial job in accomplish
ing what he did with a difficult
play of internal conflicts. Set
tings by Francis Kennedy and
Virginia Moser were well exc
cuted, but not necessarily effec-
tive in heightening the atmos-
phere. This criticism may per-
haps be logically placed against
the director; for the designers
may have been carrying out his
wishes. The statue of Eternity
should overshadow the two
households, but placed as it was
stage right it seemed to be
dragged into the action. The
placement of the two house
holds right next to each other
rather than at each side of the
stage seemed awkward theat-
rically.
Two important technical ele-

and they were not completely
successful. The interminable

scenes shattered the mood.

The Rockville Little The
atre has had considerable
success, specially during the
past few years, with a num-
Der of shows. However, not
until their newest produc-
ton, Summer and Smoke"
have they broadened their
horizons to present a fine
play by a great playwright.
With this production, they
have matured as a group and
can be given serious consid-
Grafton as an excellent little
theatre organization.
The theme of Tennessee Viii
liams' dramatic study-the in
ability Of two people to COM
municate meaningfully with
each other, and the resulting
disintegration- is set forth by
internal conflicts, and is ex-
tremely difficult to stage sue
cessfully. When first mounted
for the New York stage by Mar
60 Jones. it was not a complete
success. 1t only really became
established when given a second
chance off-Broadway by the
Circle-In-The-Square in a mem
orable production by Jose Quin-
tero and a virtuoso performance
by then unknown, Geraldine
Page, whose performance of
Alma skyrocketed her to fame.
