Cole Sees Safeguards To Bar Atom 'Cheating' By WILLIAM HINES ■tar Science Writer A workable set of rules to prevsnt nations from cheating their way to atomic-war capa bility probably will be In effect by next summer, according to the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Sterling Cole, a former Re publican Congressman from New York, made the prediction In an Interview today. The IAEA director general leaves tomorrow for his Vienna head quarters after a brief visit which coincided with the Atomic Industrial Porum meet ing here. Admitting "disappointment over progress made by the agency” since its creation in 1956, Mr. Cole forecast in creased activity and accom plishment in the near future. Final agreement on a “safe guards” code will be a major step forward, be said. Sees Adoption in April “Rules and specifications will be finished next month, will be approved by IAEA’s Board of Governors in January and I predict they will be adopted by April,” Mr. Cole said. “By next summer we will have in effect a safeguard against di version of atomic materials for war purposes.” The rules now being written are designed to control atomic materials acquired by non atomic countries for power and training reactors. When re actors operate they transform some of their nonllsslonable radioactive materials into ex. plosive elements like plutonium. Bombs can be made of plu tonium, and it is the purpose of safeguard rules to keep track of this material. Although the big atomic powers—the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, Canada and France—would not be cov ered by the safeguard rules, Mr. Cole said it would help if they would give at least token observance. Protests Voiced “The nonatomic countries feel that safeguard rules, in cluding periodic inspection, tend to infringe on their sov ereignty,” Mr. Cole explained. “They say, ‘Why should we subject ourselves to snooping just because we don’t have uranium of our own?’ “I have suggested to the atomic countries that they do the same as the other countries are being asked to do. “All we want is a demon stration; for instance, apply the safeguard rules to Ship pingport (the big power re actor near Pittsburgh). The United States is not resisting in principle, but says such an arrangement is impracticable because materials sent from Shippingport to processing plants cannot be segregated from other plants’ used ele ments.” Mr. Cole said that after safeguards are in effect, he will push for adoption of an inter national code on “third-party liability.” Along with safe guards, this is “a must,” he asserted. Legal Situation Cited Third party liability has to do with the legal situation the builder of a power reactor would find himself in if the reactor should become involved in an accident after it had been turned over to its owner. Amer ican companies are loath to build reactors for use aboard because of the possibility that they might later become liable for damages, Mr. Cole said. The IAEA director said a panel he appointed some time ago is now about ready to re port on a possible code covering third-party liability. Difficulties in framing a code have resulted chiefly from basic differences CHiLMENs SUPEfIMARTS FAMOUS TRIKES BALL BEARING • Heavy Duty Fender, Seat and From.! ggp,**««*••*,Q7 • Ball Bearing ■ %■ # Front Wheel I B U fl • Heavy^Rear m : IK# : •-.

Mr. Cole envisioned establish ment of an "international In surance pool” of $25 to S3O million, raised by private un derwriters, which would Insure against damage claims. • Would Banish Fean With workable codes which would “relieve the world of fear of atomic war from an unexpected quarter and fear of accidents resulting from peaceful uses,” Mr. Cole said he would consider his tenure as IAEA director general a success. Mr. Cole is proud of his agency’s completion of a code on safe handling of isotopes and the code’s subsequent gen eral acceptance by atomic countries. “For the first time In history a scientific code has been de vised by scientists of conflicting political views.” Mr. Cole pointed out. “There was no bickering, and no arguments except honest scientific argu ments.” The IAEA chief even man aged to wheedle the Russians into attending a conference to be held at Monaco next week on the knotty problem of radio active waste disposal. “The Russians at first re fused to attend," he said. “They said they were not in volved In the problem because they don’t dump their wastes in the oceans or in rivers that run into other countries. “I told them that If they had solved the problem of radio active waste disposal so thoroughly, in common decency they ought to come to Monaco and tell everybody else about how they do it. "They’ve finally decided to come.” Spaceship 'Skin 1 Urged to Soften Meteor Blows By the Associated Press A Government scientist tpday proposed a kind of bumper to protect spaceships from tiny meteors that streak through space by the millions. Dr. Fred L. Whipple, director of the Smithsonian Institution’s Astrophyslcal Observatory, of fered this solution—put a thin second skin around the outside of the spaceship, separated from the inner skin by a small distance. “The meteor striking the outer skin,” said Dr. Whipple, “will explode there and only the gas vapor will strike the inner skin. The gas vapor does not possess the crater-producing power of the original body and will not cause punctures.” Os course, he added in a re port to the office of Naval re search, this applies only for meteors considerably smaller than the thickness of the ship’s skin. 'Big 3' Flights Underline U.S. Missile Punch CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla., Nov. 5 (AP).—The big three of United States missilery—Atlas, Thor and Jupiter—effectively demonstrated this Nation’s rocket retaliatory power in the last'two days All three were launched on long-range test flights during a 20-hour period. Officials re ported all successfully dropped simulated warheads on desig nated ocean targets. The intermediate range Thor blasted off Tuesday night on a 1,500-mile journey; the Atlas took off on an Intercontinental range flight of 4.800 miles yes* terday, and the Jupiter IRBM sped 1,500 miles down the At lantic missile range last night. All Three Operational Successful flights are nothing new to this fiery trio of mili tary blockbusters. They have covered the course many times during lengthy research and development programs here. The United States has de clared all three operational and their current test programs are designed to improve their ac curacy and reliability. , Combat-ready Thors are poised on launching pads abroad. Jupiters soon will join them. A few Atlases are stationed at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. Several more Atlas bases are being constructed through the Western United States. The missile has a range of 6,300 miles. Thor Squadrons to NATO Four squadrons of Thors are assigned to NATO troops in England. Three Army Jupiter squadrons are scheduled for early delivery to NATO forces. Two will go to Italy, one to Turkey. Each squadron has 15 of the deadly weapons. Although many United States officials concede this Nation trails Russia in developing powerful space rockets, they believe the two countries are even in the ballistic missile field. Two other American ballis tic missiles—the Titan ICBM and Polaris submarine weapon —are experiencing test diffi culties. Both, however, are expected to be added to the operational defense arsenal next year. Testing will begin in 1960 on two v>lid-fuel ballistic rockets, the 700-mile Pershing and the 5.000-mile Minuteman. Wilson Operates Despite Strike CHICAGO, Nov. 5 (AP).— Wilson & Co. says its eight meat-packing plants are oper ating, although with reduced crews, despite a strike called by the United Packinghouse Workers of America. The union called the strike Tuesday night. It charged Wil son with illegal acts and at tempts to provoke violence. Wilson had accused the union of attacks on non-striking workers’ cars and threats of death and injury to their fami lies. About 5,200 workers at Wil son plants ki Chicago, Albert Lea, Minn.; Omaha, South Omaha, Nebr.; Kansas City. Kans.; Memphis, Tenn.; Los Angeles, and Cedar Rapids, lowa, are involved in the walk out. The union’s two-year con tract with Wilson expired Sep tember 3. It was extended to September 19 during new con tract talks. Since then negoti ators have tried vainly to reach a new agreement.

C., TAi mdey, November 5, 1959 End to Europe's Lag On A-Power Forecast Europe’s lag in adopting atomic energy aa a major source of electrical power is only a temporary thing, according to the head of Euratom, the European Atomic Energy Committee. Etienne Hlrsch predicts that within 20 years Europe’s power requirements will b$ so great that fully one-fourth will have to be provided by nuclekr energy. In an address to the Atomic Industrial Forum and the American Nuclear Society last' night, Mr. Hlrsch indicated { that Europe's Installed capacity ; of atomic power plant in 1980 | will equal the present total electrical output of all plants. This amount—23o billion kilo- i watt hours—is about one-third i the United States energy output, i While admitting that Eura- 1 tom, the six-nation atom-for peace pool, has .slackened its drive for nuclear - produced power, Mr. Hirsch asserted that the slowup is only temporary. He attributed it partly to a changing political and eco nomic situation which causes a sense of urgency for atomic power to abate. Another major reason tor flagging interest, Mr. Hirsch said, has been the discovery of new oil and gas deposits, which no longer make Europe de pendent on the politically un stable Middle East. The Euratom head cited “as a paradox” the fact that "the mere promise of atomic energy has contributed to making con ventional sources of energy cheaper.” This, in turn, has Honor for Aramburu The School of International Service of the American Uni versity will present a certificate of merit to Gen. Pedro Eugenio Aramburu, former provisional president of Argentina, at 4:30 o’clock this afternoon in the lounge of the School of Inter national Service.

First Rally Set For Rockefeller HANOVER. N. H., Nov. 5 (AP).—The Nation’s first an nounced “rally for Rockefeller” here November 17 will have the atmosphere of an “old fashioned log cabin and cider barrel” campaign. The Hanover committee backing the New York Gov ernor for the Republican pres-' idential nomination said today: "We want to show that the Republican Party in New Hampshire combines youthful dynamism and sober wisdom as skillfully as does Nelson A. Rockefeller. “One of the aims of our rally will be to convince the Gov ernor that he has enough grassroots support in the State to enter the presidential pref erence primary next spring and win it.” New Hampshire holds the Nation’s first presidential pri mary of 1960 March 8. 8316 SALE THORS., NOV. 5-SflT., NOV. 7 Vi-SYNERAL I JERGENS | toothpaste ( DROPS I LOTION I JET. | 50cc Size §1 1214 oz. gi; PEPSODENT 1” ( 68* 62* ( | Drug Mart Lower Prices H 4 Drug Mart Lower Prices H 1 Drug Mart Lower Prices I |fi3 GELUSIL 4.14 4Qc CARTERS | W TABLETS 100,... 1 W LIVER PILLS *)4 I*B m 93 C 1- ROBEB >X . s ,“f!S 81‘ 37 C 14 C 97 C ANTISEPTIC”- 54 c IM BREMIL . . .
