beings and why it was needed
Last year there were $50
ambushes in South Wet Nam
and the rate has gone up this
year. Officials still are not sure
the weed killer will be effective
II 1t is, plans call for using il
only along roads and in a few
other selected areas.
Some Communist reports
have mentioned a South Wet
Namese intention to use the
weed killer along the country's
borders with Laos and Cam
bodia but there are doubts that
even such a cleared band along
the border could stop the night
lnfiltrations of Wet Cong
guerrillas.
Inside South Wet Nam the
guerrillas are spreading the
war gas" and chemical weap-
ons" charges by word of mouth
and hand bills. So far, they
have not blamed the weed
killer for spreading disease, but
this is considered a possibility
by American officials.
When the American Aid mis-
sion introduced fish into South
Wet Namese rice paddles as an
added source Of food, the Com
munist guerrillas succeeded in
convincing an amazing number
OF people that the fish were
poisoned.

against Negroes and Jews as

said There is no set policy of
any kind whereby q Jew or
Negro is not invited to apply

for his contributions to nu-

He has also been the widely

his own views on this, he has
said, have shifted away from
opposition to underground

Russia Says U. S. Uses
War Gas in Wet Nam

The Soviet Union has begun
a campaign Of condemnation
against the United States, al
leging the use of war gas"
and chemical weapons in South
Wet Nam.
American officials say a
series of articles making these
charges have been published
in Soviet newspapers and
broadcast over Soviet and
North Wet Namese radio pro-
grams. The propaganda has
not yet reached the massive
scale of the Soviet smear cam
paign against the United States
which charged the use of germ
warfare In the Korean War,
the sources say. But all the
elements are there for such a
campaign to be mounted.
Jungle Weed Killer
The United States has been
spraying commercial weed kill
ers from planes to kill heavy
jungle vegetation on, the
shoulders of roads in South
Wet Nam to foil Communist
guerrilla ambushes.
1t takes about six weeks for
the vegetation to die and some
times it must be sprayed several
times. The weed killer has no |
bad effects on human beings
or animals or soil, officials say.
Great care has been taken to
avoid spraying crops.
Izvestia Charge

Pentagon marked the begin
ming OF the new year by an un-
precedented action: The use of

State leader following his re-

term last November, is being
mentioned by some party lead,
ers as a possible candidate
against Republican Gov. Mel
son A. Rockefeller, who is seek

Wagner's personal political goal
is said to be a seat in the United
States Senate where his late
father, Robert F. Wagner,
sponsored the Wagner Labor
Relations Act and other i'm

days. Mayor Wagner ran for
the Senate once, and lost.
The elder Wagner, a German
American, was a member Of the
New York Athletic Club, and
the Mayors late mother, an
Irish-American, once worked
at the club.
Became Member in 1856
A spokesman for Mayor Wag-
ner said he had visited the
club very little, if at all" since
he became a dues-paying mem
Der in 1856.
The Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai Birth, National Jewish
service and fraternal organi-
zation, recently listed the club
as discriminating" in its MEM

A spokesman for the National
Association for the Advance

yesterday that it had pro

Mayor Wagner's resignation
was reported unofficially to
have Stemmed indirectly from
a proposed boycott of the clubs

fled details of the recent nu.
clear tests in Russia.
The administration is trying
to determine if DR.. Bethe broke
security rules and, if he did
what can be done about it.
At the same time, admins
tration witnesses, behind closed
doors Of the committee hearing
room, are trying to explain why
the committee was not promptly
informed about analyses of the
Russian tests.
The tangled problem in Sc
curity and congressional pre-.
negatives goes back to last Sep
TENDER when Russia set off 8
number Of nuclear explosions
including one monster of about
So metagons.
Headed Analysing Panel
DR.. Bethe, a regular Govern
ment consultant on nuclear-
weapons problems, was as
signed to head a panel of sci
entists analysing the data gath
cred through monitoring of the
tests.
The subsequent data re.
port" which concluded that
the Russians had made SUBJ
stantial progress in some areas
of weapons development, was
circulated within the executive
department but not sent i'm
mediately to the committee.
The Atomic Energy Act re-
qulreS that the committee be
kept fully and currently in
formed about atomic energy
matters.
News Of the existence of the
Bethe report (and a general
lied summary of its :indings)
appeared in The Washington
Star on December 3. This was
the first the committee knew
of the report.
Subsequent stories about the
report, giving additional de-
tails, appeared in other news
papers and news magazines.
An Atomic Energy Commission
news release on December 9
confirmed the original Star
story in general terms.
On this assumption that the
release and the news stories
had made parts of his report
public property, DR.. Bethe told
a group of Cornell University
students about the Russian
tests in a January S speech.
Propriety Questioned
The administration and the
committee questioned the pro-
priety of the speech, however.
They argued that since DR..
Bethe was the official Govern
ment analyst of the Soviet
tests, his remarks carried more
weight than news stories and
not have gone beyond
the General Acc announce
ment.
According to the Associated
Press, Representative Price,
Democrat of Illinois, today

lecture.

 And Savings, Too
 The far-seeing fishermen, with incomes better than they have been in years, will be banking for the future. There's no assurance that the salmon will be in the area in the abundance that they have been this year, and the best safeguard is to be prepared for it. Deposits at the local bank should bulge as a result of this attitude of pre- paredness for the future.
 Meanwhile, most of their efforts for the past several weeks are safe ly tucked away in tin cans and headed for the Lower 48.
 There's another fellow, too, who will get his share of those pay checks. He's Uncle Sam, repre- sented by the Internal Revenue Service

What's To Become OF Salmon Checks?
 Kodiak Fishing Families Making Plans

What's to be the destination of the bulging paychecks resulting from the best salmon harvest in the Kodiak area in over quarter of century as it draws to a con- clusion?
 A healthy portion of the pay checks will go towards boat and gear payments. undoubtedly, and to catch up on overdue payments when the fishermen weren't quite so fortunate.
 Century 21 at Seattle will be the drawing card for many families, and a large number of youngsters who have never been on the out side will have their first chance to see a merry-go-round,. train, and, of course, the monorail and space needle as many successful fisher men have indicated that the first vacation in years will be in store for themselves and their families. August should be good month for PIMA as families will be de parting in time to return for the opening of school.
 Merchants Benefit
 School bound students will prob ably be better dressed than they have been in some time, as already merchants handling apparel have noted an upswing in buying and proposed purchases, AS matter of fact, the entire family may be expected to be better attired than they have been for years.
 Other plans are in the offing with the pay checks, fishermen have indicated, with additional rooms for their homes, plumbing installations and remodeling which has been delayed for lack of funds.
