Rudiouctivity
Sours in Utah
After A-BIust
By the Associated Press

The Public Health Service
says the level of radioactivity
in the atmosphere at Salt Lake
City, Utah, shot up to 900 mi
cromicrocuries per cubic meter
Of air on July 7-8.
The reading was the highest
recorded anywhere in this coun-
try in several years, but was
only half the 1900 micromi-
crocurieS recorded at Salt Lake
City on July 16, 1857.
Readings dropped back sharp
ly in the following two days.
A, spokesman said yesterday
the service assumed the sud-
den increase was attributable
TO the underground nuclear test
blast at the Nevada testing
grounds on July 6. That blast
dug big crater in the desert.
He said the high reading on
one day was not regarded as
posing a public health threat
but that close attention is
being paid to the analysis now
being made of milk samples
from that area to determine
their fall-out content.
The reading for gross beta
radioactivity in the air at Salt
Lake City was 10 on July 81.
After the rise to 900 in the
reading for the "a hours ended
at 8 m. on July 8, the level
dropped to 101 July 9 and %
on July 10. There was a rise
again on July IL. but only to SO
micromicrocuries, and the level
was down to 10 Thursday.
The only other station re-
porting any substantial in
crease during this period was
Cheyenne, Wyo., with counts
Of "a on July 8, II on July 10,
and 16 on July IL. Other
stations throughout the Nation
were generally in the vicinity
of 10 micromicrocuries or less.

Lausche Hifs
JudiciaNUnit
BY the Associated Press

Senator Lausche, Democrat
Of Ohio, says there has been
"inordinate delay" in Senate
Judiciary Subcommittee consid-
Grafton of Thurgood MarshalIs
nomination to the I'd United
States Circuit Court of Appeals.
The nomination has been in
a subcommittee headed by Sen
ator Johnston, Democrat of
South Carolina, since President
Kennedy resubmitted it to the
Senate January Is.
Senator Lausche said that
Mr.. Marshall, a Negro and
former counsel for the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, is en-
titled to equal treatment with
that accorded other nominees,
but sis not receiving it, and it
ought not to be condoned."
Two hearings have been held
on the nomination. The first
was on May l. and the second
Thursday, after which Senator
Johnston recessed the hearings
without fixing a date for their
resumption. Mr.. Marshall has
been serving under a recess APP
pointment made last October.
Senator Lausche said Mr..
Marshall is an able lawyer and
is being treated differently
from other nominees.
He said that neither justice,
decency nor decorous Judgment
is reflected by this inordinate
delay"
Senator Javits, Republican
OF New York. commended SEN
ator Lausche for his Senate
speech yesterday, and said that
an effort is being made in the
subcommittee to try the
NAACP" rather than consider
the nominees qualifications.
Senator Javits said an effort
would be made to force action
in the Senate before time runs
out" at the end of this session.

Army May Soon Test
Front-Line A-Weopon

ARMY Specialists say the
weapon is designed to blast
enemy pillboxes, bunkers, troop
masses. artillery positions. tank
concentrations, command posts,
supply dumps and concentra-
tons. 1t can chew up any of
these within 200 to 500 yards
of its burst.
The Crocketts have been
tested with conventional war
heads. But using them with
nuclear warheads and inte-
grating this firepower into
troop maneuver is a problem
for the Army. The test in
Nevada could provide at least
a start.
Troops would come out OF
protected positions after the
blast and advance to take ad-
vantage of it's destruction, using
conventional artillery as they
move forward.
Underground Blast
Presumably most, of the 90C
troops from Fort Lewis will be
combat men. with a large
number of specialists and tech
nicianS on hand.
This will not be the first use
of troops in nuclear tests. They
were deployed in an earlier
series in Nevada several years
ago, located in slit trenches and
in tanks as near as / mile
from detonations.
But these tests involved nu-
clear devices" mounted on
steel towers, rather than actual
weapons.
In conjunction with the
troops-use announcement. the
Acc said it had set off another
low-yield nuclear explosion un-
derground at the Nevada test
site yesterday. This was the
44th announced test in the cur
rent series there. Such an ex-
plosion indicates a force equa
to that of 10000 tons of INT.

The Army apparently will get
its first chance soon to fire its

tar for front line troops-with
a nuclear warhead, and under
simulated battle conditions.

of an announcement yesterday

tactical exercises in conjunc-
ton with above-ground nuclear
tests in Nevada within a few

the Defense Department said
the troops will conduct con-

weapons Of a maximum 105-mm
caliber. At the same time, II
added, ground nuclear systems

On Eastern's "Happy Holidays vacations
you know your complete costs in advance!

You know how it is. You budget so much
for transportation. So much for hotel
room. And so much for meals and enter
tainment. And then you find there's so
much you haven't even counted on.
Well, Eastern can do your counting
for you and save you money in the bar
gain. The bargain in this case is EaStern'S
famous Happy Holidays" program. 1t
does two things for you:
l. Because you plan your vacation before
you 60, you can know in advance what
the cost = including all the extras -
will be.
z. Because the plan is designed for VOL
ume sales, you're assured of the low
est possible rates.
Low Hotel Rotes

ample. Prices in Easterns free Happy

About three dollars day will cover your
meal costs at a fine hotel. This optional
extra is still another way Eastern helps
you plan to the penny all your costs in
advance. Your three dollars include
breakfast and dinner, and, in some cases.
lunch as well. The menus you'll order
from often include delicacies like lobster
tails, steak and roast beef. So that's one
more cost Eastern can nail down for YOU
in advance.
transportation Savinqs
EaStern's low-cost air services save YOU
even more. For example, Eastern's air
coach, tourist and other special low fares
offer you big savings off regular first-class
fares. And on most Happy Holidays"
vacations, transportation between air
port and hotel is included!
Cor Rentals Sightseeing
Many Happy Holidays" offer the op-
ton of rental car waiting at the airport
when you arrive. And as optional extras,
Eastern can arrange a number of local
