Senator Asks Promotion
Of Arctic Explorer-Pilot
To Keep Him In Service
WASHINGTON, LP)—Sen. Thye
(R-Minn) Thursday urged Presi
dent Eisenhower to promote Col.
Bernt Balchen, noted arctic ex
plorer and. aviator, to brigadier
general.
In a letter to'the President, Thye
said he was concerned over re
ports that Balchen, who is 54,
would have to be retired because
of age and rank.
“I feel certain that you would
not permit that to happen,” Thye
wrote Eisenhower.
He said that if Balchen were
forced to retire it would be a
“mark of ingratitude” and a loss
to the defense program.
Friday the 13th Club
Meets In Pittsburgh
PITTSBURGH, UP)—Friday the
13th has once again called to
gether a group of 14 Pittsburgh
businessmen who' poke fun at per
sons who believe the day brings
bad luck.
The “Friday the 13th Club of
Pittsburgh” met for luncheon and
the program called for entering
the dining rq^m by walking under
a ladder, sitting beneath open um
brellas at tables decorated with
black cats, throwing salt on the
floor, breaking mirrors and pay
ing for meals with $2 bills. 1
The club was formed a few
years ago. Its officers are 13 vice
presidents and a vice president in
charge of vice presidents.
Legal Blanks at The Nome Nuggei
Foreigners Should
See H-Blast, Says
A-Energy Official
WASHINGTON, UP>—An atomic
energy commissioner suggests that
foreigners, presumably including
Russians, should see a U.S. hydro
gen bomb exploded as a sample of
the destructive alternate to world
peace.
The idea, expressed by Thomas
E. Murray last night in Pittsburgh,
came as America was readying
another and probably more fierce
hydrogen test blast1 and as Secre
tary of Defense Wilson talked of
“many more discoveries in the
atomic age.”
Murray said first-hand observa
tion of an H-bomb’s thunder “is
an essential qualification for fu
ture negotiators of the great sur
vival issues in the years ahead.”
Such an American showing, he
added, might persuade the Rus
sians to match it with a demon
stration of their own.
Murray said the AEC hasn’t yet
studied the idea in detail or
reached a decision.
It seems to represent another
chapter in the Eisenhower admin
istration’s program to warn the
nation—indeed, civilization itself
—of the awful perils of atomic de
struction. President Eisenhower,
who has already made general
references, is reported still plan
ning a detailed exposition of the
whole atomic war danger, per
haps in a series of radio-television
talks.
