Communist Party Fails to
Make Deadline to Register
WASHINGTON W — The Com
munist party has failed to meet
the deadline for registering un
der the Internal Security Act.
The Justice Department with
held action yesterday, waiting to
see if the party’s officers would
sign up within their later time
limit.
The party, as an organization,
had until midnight Monday night
to register but the Justice Depart
ment said no representative show
ed up. The officers now have
until Nov. 30. If the officers do
no heed the deadline, individual
l party members must register with
in 20 days—Dec. 20.
A spokesman said the Justice
Department plans to wait at least
until after the time has expired
for the officers to register before
taking action. Then, officials said,
the first move will likely be di
rected against the party itself.
Under the Internal Security Act
—embattled in the courts since
1050 until the Supreme Court
upheld its provisions last June—
the party was to have registered
as an arm of the Soviet govern
ment, listing its officers, finances
and other details
TUBERCULOSIS CONTINUES AS
HEALTH PROBLEM
Physicists Criticize
Dr. Libby’s
Plans on Atomic
War Survival
IOWA CITY, Iowa UP) — Dr.
James Van Allen and seven other
University of Iowa physicists take
issue with Dr. Willard Libby’s
syndicated series of articles on
how to survive atomic attack.
They call It “extremely danger
ous.”
Van Allen, who detected the
radiation belts circling the earth
through satellite studies, heads
the Iowa Physics Dept.
The Iowa physicists, in a letter
to the editor of the Iowa City
Press-Citizen, said of the series
Iby Dr. Libby, a Nobel Prize
chemist:
“It is extremely dangerous to
give the impression to the public
that the building of fallout shelt
ers will enable the average citi
zen to survive a nuclear war.
“This gives a false sense cf
security. The percentagewise
small margin of safety gained in
no way detracts from the very
real possibility that an atomic
war will mean the end of the
civilizations of both opponents.”
Libby, asked by the Associated
Press by telephone for his com
ments, replied:
“I agree that anybody who in
terpreted my article as saying that
fallout shelters make atomic war
tolerable should be outraged.
“I did not intend to say any
thing like that. What I intended
tp say was that fallout shelters
greatly increase the chance of sur
vival for those who were not hit
directly by blast or thermal burns.
“That is my message.”
The Iowa group particularly
criticized Libby’s estimate that
90 to 95 per cent of US. residents
could survive an atomic attack
with proper protection.
They said other estimates are
much lower than Libby’s, and
added that survival figures obvi
ously “depend on the length of
a future war, the number, size
and distribution of bombs actually
dropped, and many unforeseeable
circumstances.”
The tourist industry now is the
top income producer in Florida,
New Mexico, Nevada, Maryland
and Hawaii. It ranks as the sec

Hawaii Wants to Charter One of
Alaska’s Ferrys for Inter-Island Trips
By Ward Sims
Associated Press StaU Writer
JUNEAU UFi — Hawaii would
like to charter one of Alaska’s
ferries for a practical trial of
interisland, surface ferry service,
the Associated Press learned yes
terday.
Gov. Wm. Quinn of Hawaii
made the proposal in a letter to
Gov. Wm. Egan, dated Oct. 26.
The ship Quinn proposed that
Hawaii charter from Alaska
would be the second of three ves
sles to be constructed for ferry
service in the Southeast Pan
handle.
Quinn said Hawaii would like
to use the chartered ship for trial
service in the islands during the
early months of 1963.
Egan, in a letter dated Nov. 8,
:ndicated Alaska would be will
ing to charter the ferry to Hawaii
one a bare-boat charter basis if
Quinn felt Hawaii could use the
ship. ,
In his letter to Egan, Quinn
said:
“As yen may be aware, one
of the most serious problems fac
ing Hawaii is the development of
an efficient in ter island ferry sys
tem which will provide easy and
relatively inexpensive transporta
tion between the major islands of
this state. . . .
“We have already undertaken
a number of expensive studies of
this problem. Yet, we have not
resolved satisfactorily the com
peting arguments between the
merits and demerits of: (1) Large
surface vessels, (2) Air ferries,
and (3) hydrofoils. As in the case
i of a picture being worth 10,000
words, an actual practical demon
stration of these various alterna
tives would probably be worth
10,000 pages of study reports.
“I understand the State of
Alaska has now embarked upon
a program of constructing four
large surface ferries. I understand
further that the first of these is
due for delivery in August 1962
and the second for delivery in
December 1962 or January 1963.
Although the first vessel will be
put into service immediately, I
have been advised that there may
be a period of several months
after delivery before you will be
able to put the second vessel into
service.
“This being the case, we are
wondering if it may be possible
to charter this second ship for
the interim period. Such an ar
rangement may work to our
mutual benefit. We would have
the opportunity of gaining actual
experience with this type of ferry
through a practical demonstra
tion here in Hawaii. You would
be able to derive revenues from I
the vessel during a period it might
otherwise remain idle.
“I realize, of course, that there
are a myriad of details that would
have to be worked out before the
feasibility and desirability of such
an arrangement could be fully de
termined. .
In answering Quinn, Egan said
Alaska’s vessels would lend them
selves to such use “as they have
the most modern hull design pos
sible for a ferry of their size and
they will be powered to move
quickly and efficiently.”
Egan said the second ferry will
be ready for use in January, 1963,
and would be available for char
ter to Hawaii for approximately
three months.
“We would need the vessel here
iby the first of May in order to
meet the requirements of the sum
mer tourist season.” Egan wrote.
The Alaska Governor added:
“The Alaska femes are being
built and certificated for opera
tion in lakes, bays and sounds,
and lifeboats are being provided
accordingly. For operation in the
Hawaii Islands, the ferry would
have to be given a special certi
ficate for coastwide operation,
which would limit her passenger
carrying capacity to approximate
ly 300 people. It would also neces
sitate carrying an off-shore crew
rather than the limited crew
which we would use for our
operation. . .
“If you feel that you can utilize
the vessle under these conditions,
we would propose to charter it to
the state of Hawaii on a bare
boat charter. The exact terms of
which can be worked out in de
tail if you wish to explore the
matter further.”
Egan enclosed an artist’s con
ception of the ferry and facts
concerning the characteristics of
the ship.
