2 USC Students Admit Planting Time Bomb
LOS ANGELES — (UPI) — Two University of Southern California students have admitted planting a homemade time bomb under the cheerleaders stand at the Coliseum set to go off at a football game—but they insist it was all a prank.
Dave Visel, 20, a junior, and Neil Bazier, 21, a senior, yesterday told police they planted the bomb in the 100,000-seat stadium to explode as a smoke bomb at kickoff time during the annual UCLA-USC game Nov. 22.
For some unexplained reason it failed to detonate.
Test Ban Treaty Draft Started
GENEVA — (UPI) — The United States, Britain and Russia began drafting a nuclear test ban treaty today but east and west still were split on the fundamental issue of controls.
The drafting party met in the Palais des Nations to draw up the preliminary articles of a treaty which would commit the signers to a nuclear test ban and an obligation to cooperate with a control organization.
The scope, powers and responsibility of the control group, however, remained the center of disagreement between the Soviet Union and the two western atomic nations.
Russia has demanded a vetobound tripartite directorate for any international control organization with membership limited to itself, Britain and the United States. This would bar possible future nuclear powers such as France and Communist China.
Western sources said the Soviet plan would give the Russians "a veto on every little thing a control organization can do."
The West is holding out for a truly international organization open to other countries but with special permanent status for the three current members of the nuclear club.
It also proposed establishment of a control organization and a directing commission with full power to dispatch emergency mobile inspection teams to the site of a suspected sneak nuclear explosion. The Russians want to limit the power and scope of the inspection teams.
British Fog Called 'Killer'
LONDON—(UPI) — A British scientist warned today that the peasant fog that has blanketed Britain for 25 days is turning into a killer smog.
The scientist was Dr. B. T. Cummings of London's Bartholomew's Hospital which treated hundreds of victims in 1952 when a killer smog took the lives of 4,000 persons.
The disastrous smog followed the same pattern. London and the surrounding counties were blanketed for weeks by a crippling fog until coal and other fumes turned it into a death blanket.
'Animal Farm' To Be Shown Today
"Animal Farm," a film based on George Orwell's book, which was shown yesterday, will be shown again at 4 p.m. Friday in Room 3, Bailey Hall.
Today the heavy blanket covered 30 counties, extending over an area of 28.000 square miles. Cummings said smoke pollution in the air over London had passed the safe limit.
ROTC Rifles Host Explorers
The film, one of the Bureau of Visual Instruction film series, will have this second showing because it was impossible to accommodate all those who wished to see it yesterday.
The Navy ROTC rifle队 played host to the Eudora Explorer Scout Troop Wednesday night.
"We planned for it to create a smoke screen and it was to hide the UCLA cheerleaders from the rooters," they said. "It was a college prank and no malice was intended."
But police thought differently, at least before the two students voluntarily walked into a police station and made their statements. They were later released and police said the case would be turned over to the district attorney's office for study as to possible filing of charges.
Engineering Committees Named
"This thing was no joke," crime lab explosives expert D. A. Wolfer declared. "It was a real bomb which could have killed or injured many people. Why it failed to explode we don't know."
