Petition Submitted by 9,000 Scientists
To U.N. For International Agreement
To Stop Nuclear Tests Immediately
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., UP>—■
More than 9,000 scientists of 44
nations have petitioned the
United Nations for an interna
tional agreement to stop nuclear
bomb tests immediately.
The petition warned that “each
nuclear bomb test . . . causes
damage to the health of human
beings all over the world . . .
“and increases the number of
seriously defective children that
•will be bom in future genera
tions.”
The petition was circulated by
an American N*bel prize winner,
Dr. Linus Pauling, who said he
felt it /‘represents the opinion of
a majority of the scientists of
the world.”. Some U.S. author
ities questioned the scientific ac
curacy of the petition when it
was first made public last June 3
as an appeal by 2,000 American
scientists. Foreign scientists later
signed it.
The U.N. makes such docu
ments available to its 82 mem
bers on request but takes no ac
tion on them itself.
The scientists include 36 No
bel winners, 10.1 members of the
U.S. National Academy of Science,
216 members of the Soviet Acad
emy of Sciences and 35 fellows
of the Royal Society of London.

Police Sgt. Daniel Pucella re
called today how he bragged a
few days ago that his television
set was nine years old and never
had been repaired.
“When it goes, I suppose it
will blow up,” he said at the time.
It blew up yesterday. Firefight
ers confined the damage to the
set.

U nemployment
Increased Last
Month by 186,000
WASHINGTON, UP>—'The gov
ernment reported Tuesday un
employment increased by 186,000
in the nation last month while
the number of workers with jobs
declined by 470,000.
The moderate holiday season
rise in unemployment boosted the
jobless figure to 5.2 per cent of
the labor force—the highest level
in the three years and the high
est December rate since 1949.
Compared with a year earlier
unemployment was up by 700,000,
to a total of 3,374,000.
The monthly report of the
Commerce and Labor Depart
ments said the December jobless
count was moderated by tempor
ary holiday hiring in stores and
the postal service.
It indicated the jobless figure
may spurt in January, noting
that federal-state unemployment
compensation claims have in
creased sharply by over 500,000
since the December jobless count
was taken.
The report attributed the De
cember jobs decline mainly to
“further sharp cutbacks in manu
facturing and construction.”

Yellow Strand wire rope. Tough, drawn-to-order steel wires
provide the starting point for Yellow Strand’s endurance. Pre
forming then adds greater flexibility and efficiency. This process
neutralizes stiffness and internal stresses and results in a
limber rope that resists kinking and whipping, runs and spools
smoothly and is safer to handle. Ideal for construction, logging
and all uses where wire rope is needed.
