Army Commission
Now Requires
Top-Level Check
WASHINGTON, UP—Secretary
of the Army Stevens has ordered
a “highest priority,” top-level
check before a person can get an
Army commission as an officer or
a warrant officer.
The order, effective July 1 and
made public Wednesday night, is
aimed at barring security risks
from officer ranks and doing
away with such cases as that in
which former Maj. Irving Peress
was promoted while under inves
tigation.
The directive calls for an FBI
check and also checks with other
government agencies on appli
cants for commissions. It says:
“When information is obtained
as a result of the National Secur
ity Agency check or from any
other source which indicates that
appointment may not be clearly
within the interests of national
security, the applicant will not be
appointed without the specific ap
proval o'f the Secretary of the
Army.”

Collap se of Rocks
At Niagara Falls
Draws Thousands
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y., OD—
Thousands of tourists jammed the
edges of the Niagara gorge yester
day, awaiting possible new rock
falls in the wake of the thunder
ing collapse that practically de
stroyed Prospect Point and sliced
a piece out of the American side
of Niagara Falls Wednesday.
Cracks extended more than 50
feet upstream from the ragged
edge left after an estimated 185,
000 tons of rock slipped from the
top of the 170-foot chasm. Some
of the cracks were six to eight
inches in width and appeared to
be widening.
Park officials threw a heavy
guard around the mainland area
near the brink of the American
cataract to guard against acci
dents in case other sections of the
cliff let go.
Engineers and geologists said
they might have to dynamite some
parts of the area to create a safe
observation point to replace the
old Prospect Point.
