News Off the Wire
Reactor Test Is Successful
LAS VEGAS, Nev.—(UPI)The Atomic Energy Commission says its first test firing of a nuclear reactor designed as the forerunner of a rocket engine to power space ships was "successfully conducted."
But other details of the static test of the Kiwi-A, designed under the multi-million dollar "Project Rover," were not released for security reasons.
The complete test, lasting about five minutes, was staged Saturday with the nuclear reactor mounted on a railroad flatcar. The reactor did not move during testing.
Newmen a mile and a half away heard a faint, dull sound as the engine started. The reactor noise was drowned out when two E-57 planes dipped almost to tree-top level to sample radiation.
Five JATO—jet assisted takeoff—bottles were fired into the hydrogen stream coming out of the reactor. They produced a series of strange-shaped white clouds that spurted from the reactor nozzle and climbed to about 1,000 feet.
The clouds created a target for the planes to test for radiation Pilots of the B-57s said their instruments detected none.
Deal in Steel Strike Denied
NEW YORK — (UPI) — Top in dustry and union steel negotiator Monday denied any knowledge of a report from Washington that federal officials have suggested a compromise settlement plan in the prolonged industry-labor dispute.
According to the report, the proposal would concentrate labor gains in pensions and welfare rather than in a wage increase.
Both David J. McDonald, president of the United Steelworkers Union of America, and R. Conrad Cooper, executive vice president of U.S. Steel Corp., said they knew nothing of any such plan as they resumed negotiations at the Roosevelt Hotel here.
The top-level negotiators now have only seven days to reach an agreement on a new contract before midnight. June 30. strike deadline.

California Coast Has Shark Threat
LOS ANGELES — (UPI)— Shark warnings chased thousands of swimmers onto the beaches over the weekend, and at least one city government began studying means of meeting the growing menace on the California coast.
Two men have been killed by sharks in the last two months, the most recent eight days ago off La Jolla, south of here. At San Diego, lifeguard Capt. Charles Hardy said sharks also may have been responsible for the disappearance of at least three other persons in the last three months.
At Los Angeles, Venice Beach lifeguards spotted a small blue shark off the beach yesterday and 2,000 swimmers fled the water. Attempts to harpoon the shark failed

Franke Asks Step To Protect Fliers
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Navy Secretary William B. Franke says new steps might be taken to protect U.S. fliers on patrol missions as a result of the Communist attack on a reconnaissance plane last Monday.
Franke said an investigation of the incident now underway in Tokyo 'may lead to many recommendations which aren't current now." He declared, "We don't want to see this happen to boys."
The secretary said one phase of the inquiry was aimed at "determining what we're going to do in the future when we send out reconnaissance planes."
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Rep. Wright Patman (D-Tex) has accused the Federal Reserve System of "free-handed, extravagant and fantastic" outlays of taxpayers' money for such things as golf tournaments, parties and Christmas gifts
Federal Reserve Outlays Criticized
Two regional Federal Reserve officials whose banks Patam cited defended their spending as efficient. There was no immediate comment on Patman's charges by the federal Reserve Board of governors.
Engineering School Names 193 to Spring Honor Roll
Among the "hundreds and perhaps thousands" of questionable expenditures Patman said he found, he listed $2,613 for a golf tournament and $74 for a "ladies party" by the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank and "extravagant outlays" for new buildings.
The Dean's Honor Roll of the School of Engineering and Architecture for the spring term includes approximately the upper ten per cent of each class.

Star Strike End Still Not Seen
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) — Hope for resumption of negotiations between striking printers and the Kansas City Star and Kansas City Kansan was voiced today by a spokesman for the International Typographical Union.
Forrest Mulliken, president of Local No. 80, which includes composing room personnel of the principal newspapers in both Kansas Citys, said no meeting was scheduled for today.
"There won't he anything before tomorrow," he said. When asked whether that meant a negotiation session would be held tomorrow, he replied: "We hope so."
Meanwhile, both sides turned to radio and television to give the newspaper-hungry public their versions of the dispute.
Roy Roberts, president of the Kansas City Star, made eight appearances again yesterday, duplicating Saturday's schedule. He said the union wanted a $56 per day pay scale for holidays worked.
