AEC Denies Security Lapse
LAS VEGAS, Nev. — (UP) — The Atomic Energy Commission Thursday labeled as "ridiculous" a reporter's claim that he entered the atomic test grounds in Nevada to witness Monday's "diablo" shot by showing gag credentials including one card good for a free drink at a Las Vegas bar.
Reporter Pat Michaelis, of the Orange County News Service and radio station KWIZ in Santa Ana, Calif. Wednesday said he got past security guards at Camp Mercury by showing the free drink card, another which certified he was a back seat driver and several personal cards. He said he was not questioned about a satchel he carried into the area.
Lt. Col. William R. Hunter, director of the AEC's test information office, said Michaels last week requested to witness the test and his
credentials were checked and cleared. Hunter said the reporter's name was placed on a list of authorized news media observers.
When Michaels arrived at the test site he was issued his badge at my request," Hunter said. "He together with all other news observers were under security escort every minute on the test site."
Hunter said Michaels was not questioned about his brief case because all authorized newsmen are permitted to carry items necessary to do their work into the test area.
Has No Cause To Gripe
MUSKEGON, Mich—(UP) —Patrolman Robert McClumber listened patiently as a trapped speeder assailed the use of Muskegon taxpayer's money for radar sets to time motorists. Then he asked to see the man's driver's license. The speeder lived outside the city limits.
McKay Is Appointed To U.S.-Canadian Post
WASHINGTON—(UP)—President Eisenhower Thursday appointed former Interior Secretary Douglas McKay to a $20,000-a-year job as commissioner on the U.S.-Canadian International Joint Commission.
McKay, now living in Salem, Ore., will succeed Len Jordan who is resigning. Each country has three members on the joint commission.
McKay resigned from his interior post last year to run unsuccessfully against Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Or.)
The joint commission, which he will join at headquarters here, has jurisdiction over all boundary waters questions between this country and Canada.

More than 16,000 miles of wires linked United Press bureaus in Europe.
NEW YORK—(UP)—Evangelist Billy Graham said Thursday he hopes to conduct crusades for Christ in Sydney, Australia and Birmingham, England, in 1959.
Graham Reveals Tour Plans
Graham revealed tentative plans for the new crusades as he prepared for the biggest revival meeting of his career, to be held in the 67,000-seat Yankee Stadium Saturday. Vice-President Richard M. Nixon confirmed in Washington late Wednesday an earlier United Press report he would come to New York to take part in the stadium rally.
Graham said he would "give much prayer" to tentative plans to hold the Australian crusade in March, April and May of 1959. The crusade would have offshoots from Sydney into Melbourne and three other major cities, as well as Auckland, New Zealand.
The projected Birmingham crusade, which would cover the entire "midlands" section of Great Britain, is tentatively planned for September, 1950.
The evangelist preached a sermon on the Apostle Paul (Acts 18:17) before an audience of 19,200—including 700 standees in Madison Square Garden last night. He addressed an additional 3,000 persons who could not be admitted into the huge sports arena in the street outside.
More than 1,074,000 persons have heard Graham's Garden sermons. A first count of 724 persons who recorded "decisions for Christ" last night brought the total since the New York crusade began May 15 to 33,846.
Tulare County, Calif., considered by safety officials to be one of the best-signed road networks in the United States, has an average of four traffic signs per mile to warn and advise motorists.
