East Lawrence Pulls Together to Fix Area
A town meeting atmosphere prevailed as East Lawrenrie residents discussed means to reduce the number of monthly meeting of the East Lawrenrie improvement Association Tuesday night.
Group comments were solicited on the progress of the alley clean-up project begun
July 6. The project, financed through general revenue sharing funds, includes the clean-up and repair of all alley east of Massachusetts to Delaware and from the Kaw River to 15th Street, according to Don Schaake, city director of urban renewal.
The funds, designated for the en-
environmental improvement of East Lawrence and for the hiring of neighborhood members to keep the money in the area, will also be used for the clearing of street lighting, as well as the improvement of street lighting at intersections, with additional light to be
Radioactive Fallout Skips Most of U.S. Shows Type of Bomb Tested by China
By JOHN BENDER
Kansas Staff Writer
Radioactive fallout from the June 27 Chinese nuclear test, which was expected over the United States last week, apparently has missed most of the nation's Kansas, according to Blaine Murray of the Kansas Radiological Health Bureau.
Murray said that northern California and Oregon were the only places in the United States to record any more radiation than those areas was not significant, he said.
There was no increase in radiation in Kansas, Murray said.
Murray said that there were a number of possible explanations for the failure of the fallout to reach much of the United States, among them wind currents, the nature of the bomb or the radioactive particles being washed from the atmosphere by rain.

EDWARD ZELLER, professor of physics and astronomy, speculated that the Chinese bomb was a thermonuclear, or hydrogen bomb. The size of the bomb was estimated at between two and three megatons. Zeller said a large bomb could be a hydrogen bomb.
According to Murray, thermonuclear bombs produced by atomic fusion are cleaner and produce less fallout, than traditional fission (which exploit by means of atomic fission).
Murray said that nobody knew whether the Chinese had the technology to produce a
fusion bomb or a "clean" fission bomb
Discussion turned to the future objectives of the association with a report by Marsha Kline.
tussled between bombs, missiles and USAID the failure of the United States does receive, will be analyzed carefully to determine the nature of the blast. It is a kind of guessing game that is played between the various nuclear powers, but the United States does not how other countries build their bombs.
The task can become complicated, Murray said, because radioactive materials can be added to the bomb to make it "dirtier." That makes it more difficult to determine what materials were used to make the bomb, he said.
Bicycle Race Begins Saturday
The Mount Oread Bicycle Club is sponsoring a two-day bicycle race on Saturday and Sunday.
A plan compiled by the consultants and association members includes adding clean-up activities, holding workshops of general interest to the neighborhood, sponsoring special meetings with city officials and staff, and creating a plan for the East Lawrence area (including an improvement program) and demolishing out-dated out buildings.
A motion to support and carry on with the planning was made and unanimously
The race is open to all Lawrence residents, club members and non-ABLA (Aamateur Bicycle League of America) riders from outside of Lawrence.
The motion, designed to demonstrate the association's support of the program, will go to the Lawrence City Commission when they consider the rehiring of the consultants, representatives from Oblinger-Smith in Wichita.

The race is part of the summer intramural racing series in Lawrence.
