Goldwater Wants U.S. Bombs to Save Berlin
PASADENA, Calif — (UPI)— The United States should warn the Soviet Union that it will use low-yield nuclear bombs to save Berlin and West Germany, Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., said yesterday.
Goldwater held a news conference at the 30th annual youth banquet of the California Junior Chamber of Commerce.
"MR. KHRUSHCHEV should be told by President Kennedy, or some other high authority, that the United States would, if Berlin were invaded, use low-yield nuclear bombs that would destroy planes on enemy airfields," he said.
"Let Mr. Khrushchev know what to expect and let us name the bases we would attack."
Goldwater said the Kennedy Administration is wrong in talking "about fighting conventional warfare with an enemy which is conventionally far stronger than we are."
DISCUSSING THE DEATH of United States Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold, he said the United
States should call on all its friends to fight for a single secretary general as a replacement.
"We should call on all our friends—what few we have left—and those noncommitted nations to help fight the Soviet plan for three-man control and find some way to replace Dag." Goldwater said.
The conservative leader said if Richard M. Nixon runs for Governor of California, and wins, "He's the strongest voice in the Republican Party; if he loses, he's no worse off."
HE SAID HE KNEW California would not like someone to use the Governorship as a stepping stone to the Presidency.
The senator told a sellout crowd of 750 at the banquet that "some ill-advised persons in America would like to use the current crisis in international affairs to junk the U. S. Constitution and surrender our sovereignty."
He said that to submit this country's strategic interest to a community of European countries "represents the most dangerous thinking in America today..."
Ike's Statement To Be Changed
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The State Department yesterday said it is deleting a statement from an official pamphlet stating that former President Eisenhower decided to let the Russians capture Berlin in World War II when he was Allied Commander.
A storm of Republican criticism was hurled at the pamphlet, "Background, Berlin-1961." Speaking for himself, Eisenhower said the Allied decision not to push on to Berlin was made by political rather than military leaders. He said he merely carried out orders.
The pamphlet said "The Western armies could have captured Berlin or at least joined in capturing it. But the Supreme Allied Commander, General Eisenhower, believed that they could be more usefully employed against the major German forces elsewhere."
The State Department said future printings of the pamphlet would say that "for sound military reasons, the Western armies in the final phases of the war had not advanced on Berlin, the occupation status of which already had been agreed, but had concentrated on the primary task of destroying the main German forces in order to bring the war to a successful conclusion as soon as possible."
NSF Grant Buys New Microscope
A new electron microscope and ancillary equipment, which will be used for research on microscopic organisms, will be purchased this year with a National Science Foundation grant of $38,600.
The grant was awarded to the University to aid research conducted by Dr. David Paretsky, professor of bacteriology, and Dr. Christopher Sword, assistant professor of bacteriology.
City to Build Fallout Shelters
The microscope will cost about $27,900. The instrument is capable of magnifying specimens up to 100,000 diameters.
Dr. Paretsky, with Dr. Cora M Downs, professor of bacteriology will use the electron microscope for continuing studies on rickettssiae highly infectious disease producing organisms. The research, which is aimed at improving the medium for growing the rickettssiae, is being supported by the U.S. Office of Naval Research and the National Science Foundation.

LIVERMORE, Calif. — (UPI) — The city of Livermore, home of the University of California's Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, began planning nuclear fallout shelters yesterday to house the community's 17,000 residents.
Wescoe Names 9 to Committee
Employees of the laboratory were among the leaders of a citizens committee which advocated construction of municipal shelters. City officials ordered a study of the feasibility of such a plan at a Town Council meeting Monday night.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe has named nine members of a committee on International Educational Affairs.
They are:
O. P. Backus, chairman of the Soviet and Slavie Area Studies program; George Beckmann, chairman of the East Asian Area Studies; J. A. Burzle, chairman of the German Department, Fulbright adviser and Director of the Foreign Student Orientation Center; Francis Heller, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; Jack D. Steele, professor of business; Floyd W. Preston, associate professor of petroleum engineering; John P. Augelli, chairman of Latin American Area Studies; Oscar M. Haugh, professor of education, and Thomas Smith, professor of geography.
The meeting was picketed by six persons with signs that read "Civil Defense is No Defense," "Stop Bomb Tests," and "Peace or the World in Pieces" — but 300 other persons voiced strong approval of the proposal.
The committee, designed to guide the University in international education, will oversee and stimulate KU's efforts in that area.
Record Number of Foreign Students
A record foreign student enrollment of more than 300 is expected at KU this fall, according to Clark Coan, assistant dean of men and foreign student adviser.
By yesterday morning 248 foreign students had reported to Dean Coan's office. Of these, 118 are former KU students and 130 are new students. Dean Coan said he expects several dozen more to return and also a few more new students. Last year's final foreign student enrollment was 287.
The largest national group will be from Taiwan. But a drop from last year's figure of 45 is expected, because of a recent typhoon there, military service and transportation difficulties.
Leo Von Gottfried, a physicist, said everyone in the city would be assigned a shelter. Each shelter would democratically elect a cadre.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Small Business Administration (SBA) today designated the Kansas counties of Franklin and Miami, and adjacent localities, as disaster areas as a result of flood damage during the week of Sept. 10.
3 Kansas Counties Are Disaster Areas
The disaster designation permits homeowners, business firms, churches and charitable institutions whose property was damaged or destroyed to apply to the SBA for reconstruction or rehabilitation loans at 3 per cent interest.
Religious and school activities would be conducted during the estimated two weeks that the residents would be required to live underground. Youngsters would be given courses to help "adapt to the rough new world ahead."
Loan applications may be filed with SBAs regional office, 1006 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, Mo.
It was estimated that the cost of protection per person would range from $103 to $127.
Area Guard Units To Active Duty

Orders had been recently sent to 79,931 other reservists and guardsmen by the Army, Navy and Air Force to report for duty next month.
The total now summoned is about 153,000, mostly Army, of the 250,000 men which Congress has authorized the President to call in the present emergency.

Wet Rats Run Rampant in K.C.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) — Rats and snakes today posed a threat to Kansas City's flood-damaged Blue Valley area.
Health officials said the flood has driven rats and snakes from their lairs into homes and businesses.
Rat poison was spread to combat the problem. Some of the rodents measured as long as 21 inches., a spokesman said, and one health officer captured 32 snakes. None was poisonous, however.
River levels elsewhere in Missouri and Kansas were dropping.
Damage in the two-state floods area was placed at $32 million.
Court Says Cities May Add Fluorides
DES MOINES, Iowa — (UPI) — Iowa's highest court has upheld the right of Iowa cities to add fluorides to their water as a health measure.
The State Supreme Court ruled yesterday in a unanimous decision that it is a proper exercise of police power for cities to add fluorides to prevent tooth decay.
The court brushed aside a contention that the adding of fluorides was an invasion of personal liberty.
