Further Tests of Nuclear Weapons
WASHINGTON, UP— President
Eisenhower announced today the
Russians have touched off still
another atornic explosion. He said
this one was more powerful than
the test a week ago which had
the force of almost one million
tons of TNT.
Today the President said the
Russians have engaged in what
he termed another large test in
the accustomed place. That would
be in southwest Siberia as re
ported for the first lime officially
in Eisenhower’s anouncement last
Sunday.
The new test, Eisenhower said,
took pl?ce yesterday in that area.
Then he Went qn, in effect, to
criticize Soviet leaders for talk
ing peace and at the same time
continuing tests of nuclear wea
pons.
He said the latest Soviet nuc
lear tests will not bring any
change in U.S. national defense
plans.
We still are going on the as
sumption, Eisenhower added that
the Soviet objective is such that

At the news conference—his
first since he was nominated last
week for a second term—Eisen
hower said he intends to stick to
his February anouneement that
he will do no barnstorming or
“whistle stop” campaigning. But
Eisenhower said that does not
foreclose the possibility of his
traveling into key areas to make
what he termed significant poli
tical speeches.
Eisenhower said he intends to
set forth his administration’s rec
ord in great detail.
Eisenhower noted that the vote
in the AFL-ClO Executive Coun

endorsing Stevenson. He said he
was proud of those leaders who
djd not go along with the en
dorsement.

hower feels as good now as he did

does.
Eisenhower added, however,
that with respect to both his golf

gets in the White House pool, he
is not yet back on his pre-illness
schedule.

Plane’s Daily Passing
Arose Curiosity on
His Friend in the Sky
PHILADELPHIA, 'Jfi—'The cur
iosity of a little boy reached up
into the skies—all the way to the
airline pilot who flies over the
youngster’s home each morning.
Six-year-old Wayne Sekewicz
watched the same plane pass over
his Crum Lynne, Pa., home about
7:30 a.m. day after day and ques
tions formed in his mind. He de
| cided to write a letter.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jo
seph Sekewicz, mailed it to Phila
delphia’s International Airport.
Wayne explained he wanted to
learn something about the pilot
of that plane.
“I like him a lot,” he wrote, and
would you ask him what his name
is, the pilot man and his helpers,
and ask him where does he go and
does he come back before I go to
bed at night so I can watch him
come back?
“Mommy says prayers and she
tells Jesus to make him be careful
so I can see him tomorrow going
over my house.”
The letter was passed along to
Capt. Bart Hewitt, pilot of the
Transworld Airlines plane and
the father of five. Hewitt got in
touch with Mr. and Mrs. Seke
wicz and invited Wayne to the
airport last Friday.
The boy inspected the airport
control tower and the radar room.
Just before Hewitt left on his
Chicago flight, he and Wayne had
a soft drink together and the pilot
told the boy he would wave a red
handkerchief as he taxied out for
takeoff,
Wayne stood on the parking
ramp and watched the red hand
kerchief flutter from the plane
cabin, and then went home with
his head and his heart in ‘the
clouds.

Polar Explorer Foresees Antarctic
Settleirtems Using AtOmib Power
' SHEFFIELD, England, UF>—A
former polar eJtplorbr foresaw
yesterday that man might eventu
ally live in atomic-powered set
tlements in the ice-capped ant
arctic. ,
Sir Raymond Priestly, 70, vet
eran of the Shackleton and Scott
antarctic expeditions, said atomic
plants could operate for long per
iods in remote places With a mini
mum of attention. He concluded
man thus rpight use it to “add a
seventh habitable continent to the
six he already has in thrall.”
“If atomic-powered icebreakers
can be built,” he asked, “why not
atomic-powered settlements on
the antarctic mainland?”
He discussed these possibilities
in his prepared presidential ad
dress to the annual meeting of the
i British AiSti'' for the Advance
ment of Stflenfce. ''
More than 8,000 scientists and
Other experts . gathered here for
the meeting, whose major topic
waS the antarctic, spotlighted by
the various expeditions preparing
for the International Geophysical
Year 1957-58.
Priestly said the more strategic
threat of a monopoly of antarctica
by any one power should suffice
to keep the interest of the nations
alive. He added there must be
“great and valuable mineral de
posits” on any continent of such
size.
Napolean Bonaparte originated
the idea of odd and even house
numbers for different sides of the
street.
