Senator Sees H-Bomb Mishap As Accidental
Sen. Hickenlooper, vice chairman of the Senate-House Atomic Energy committee, said he therefore sees no particular reason why the mishap should be investigated as several congressmen have demanded.
Washington—(U.P.)—Sen, Bourke B. Hickenlooper (R-Iowa) said today there is nothing to indicate that negligence was involved in the March 1 H-bomb test that accidentally dumped radioactive dust on 287 persons.
"I haven't any reason at all to believe that there was any negligence or carelessness in the tests down there," he said. And he emphasized that the committee "constantly receives" information on atomic affairs, including the recent test.
Preliminary reports already have said a change of wind and the unexpected power of the blast sent the radioactive fall-out or falling particles down on the 287 victims.
Steps already have been taken to see that the same thing doesn't happen during the second and bigger test shot planned at Eniwetok next month. The Navy hydrographic office disclosed late Saturday that the test area has been greatly expanded. In addition to the old danger zone, the new one will include a fan-shaped area north of Bikini with a radius of 450 miles.
He said the committee is, of course, concerned for the welfare of the 287 persons, including 28 Americans, who were unexpectedly subjected to radiation. But he said he believes no special procedures

Rat Famine Strikes Phillipine Island
University Daily Kansan
Lambayang, Philippine Islands — (U.P.) — Mayor Jose Guerrero frantically pleaded today for an "army" of rat fighters to help rid his town of a famine that is killing three to five citizens daily.
"Last year we had four or five deaths a year from disease. Mr. Heckman has three to five a day. Three funerals went by the house yesterday."
Mr. Guerrero said that rats destroyed the area's rice crop last fall, causing a famine.
Mr. Guerrero told thousands of persons have left the area but at least 40,000 remained in Lambayang and other communities because they did not have transportation fare or were too weak to walk.
"The people will eat the ground and wait for what comes," the mayor said. "They are beginning to doubt my advice."
The mayor said his municipality, which has a normal population of about 12,000 families, has only one doctor.
Most farm experts, in and out of Congress, are convinced. farmers won't stop producing surpluses until some of their land is taken completely out of crop production. The problem is how to do it without too much dissatisfaction in the politically-notent farm belt.
Rep. Hope, chairman of the House Agriculture committee, disclosed the proposed plan after a government crop report focused attention on loopholes in the present system for curbing surplus output.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower notified Congress last Wednesday the administration intends to try to close the loopholes. He said the administration plans to tighten its policy on the use of the so-called "diverted acres" next year and asked an additional $55 million for soil conservation subsidies to ease the shock.
The report, issued last Friday, indicated total cropland plantings this year may drop less than one per cent, even though rigid controls have been imposed on wheat and cotton acreage.
Rep. Hope said his committee will devote "considerable attention to the problem of diverted acres." He said he does not favor government "rental" payments to farmers for keeping land idle, but believes government payments to encourage farmers to "do something to build up the soil fertility of idle acres could be justified."
Government Might Pay Farmers for Idle Land
It showed farmers intend to grow 47 per cent more barley, as well as more grain sorghums, oats, soybeans, and flaxseed on land forced out of wheat and cotton. This threatens to extend the surplus problem to additional crops.
Washington—(U.P.)—Rep. Clifford R. Hope (R.-Kan.) said today Congress will consider offering "incentive payments" to encourage farmers to take some land out of production and put it into a "soil fertility band."
