Kennedy Appears Ready To Resume Nuclear Tests
Page 3
FORMAL WORD was expected today or tomorrow that Great Britain has agreed to let this country use Christmas Island in the central Pacific for a new U. S. test series. In exchange, this government has agreed to let Britain use U. S. facilities in Nevada to conduct underground atomic tests.
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — President Kennedy appeared today to be preparing the country for announcement soon that the United States must resume nuclear tests in the atmosphere because of secret Soviet practices and the spread of nuclear weapons to other countries.
Meantime, American scientific and military agencies rushed to completion a study ordered by President Kennedy to determine whether Russia's series of 40 to 50 tests last fall make it necessary for this country to resume atmospheric test shots.
THE PRESIDENT told his news conference yesterday that the study should be completed this month. His final decision on test resumption will follow shortly thereafter.
He seemed to leave little doubt that the decision, however reluctant, would be to resume atmospheric tests. He emphasized repeatedly Russia's ability to "prepare in secret and then test at will" even while going through the motions of discussing a test ban and calling for general disarmament.
THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE announced late last year after Russia began conducting atmospheric tests again that the United States had no choice but to start the long preparations for test resumption.
"I shall not hesitate to order the tests themselves if it is decided they are necessary to maintain the effective deterrent strength of the United States." President Kennedy told reporters.
He spoke of the "deadly business" of remaining competitive with Russia in nuclear weapons. He said there is nothing inconsistent in striving for disarmament and preparing for atmospheric test resumption.
Exchange Grants Available for Grads
Fifteen exchange scholarships providing one year of graduate study in five foreign countries will be available to qualified KU graduates during the 1962-63 school year.
Information concerning them can be obtained at 306 Fraser Hall, and applications must be turned in on or before February 15.
Full tuition and maintenance are provided by the scholarships. Foreign graduate students from each of the participating universities — in England, Scotland, France, Germany and Switzerland — will be studying at KU next year.
Travel expenses must be paid by the student, but recipients of the exchange scholarships are eligible for Fulbright Travel Grants to the French and German colleges or KU Travel Scholarships.
Sabbatical Leaves For Faculty and Staff
Three KU faculty members and a Library staff member will go on sabbatical leave this semester.
Sidney M. Johnson, associate professor of German, will be on leave from Feb. 1 to Sept. 1 to do research on his critical bibliography of the epic poet Wolfram von Eschenbach.
Jack Brooking, associate professor of speech and drama, will be on leave from Feb. 1 to Sept. 1 for research in France and Spain.
He will spend three and one half months in Paris finishing a compilation of a bibliography of Jean d'Are plays, and studying and observing aspects of the French theater. In Spain he will be working on articles concerning his work in Paris.
Seymour Menton, associate professor of Romance languages will be on leave to work on his study and anthology of the Costa Rican short story.
"NUCLEAR weapons are spreading to other countries," he said. Forecasting that by 1970 or 1975, such weapons would be in the hands of "a good many nations."
To halt this spread of deadly nuclear power, he said this country intended to make a "major effort" toward disarmament at the 18-nation meeting in Geneva next month.
John L. Glinka, assistant director of Watson Library, will finish work on a master's degree in library science at the University of Illinois.
Questions and answers about nuclear testing and disarmament dominated the Chief Executive's news conference. There were, however, these other highlights:
He backed Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara strongly in his refusal to tell senators the names of Pentagon censors who made military speech changes. He said the censors must be protected from "harassment" by the Senate subcommittee.
- HE FIRED back at "political fakery" criticism by New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller in connection with the Democratic proposal to establish a new department of urban affairs. He suggested Gov. Rockefeller might have shifted to the right of Sen. Barry Goldwater.
- He rejected criticism of his federal school aid program by Francis Cardinal Spellman who fears that if the Kennedy plan is adopted, Catholic secondary schools eventually will be forced to close for economic reasons. He also promised to exert all possible influence on Congress to pass his general aid to education program this year.

- He feared a dangerous strain on United Nations peace-keeping operations in the Congo and the Middle East unless Congress approves U. S. purchase of up to $100 million in new U. N. bonds.
Iowa City Residents Hope Idea Will Spread
IOWA CITY, Iowa — (UPI) Residents of this university community hoped today their 53-minute "pause for peace" yesterday would be duplicated throughout the nation.
Mayor Door Hudson had called the 53 minute break in the day's activities to reflect on the problems facing the world today. The idea was originated in a move by faculty members of the University of Iowa.
Each minute of the "pause" signified a billion dollars of the amount requested by President Kennedy in his defense budget.

Jayne Mansfield, Husband Rescued; Spend Night on Island Near Nassau
NASSAU, Bahamas — (UPI) — Actress Jayne Mansfield, missing overnight with her husband and a friend after their small boat overturned, was found safe today on a small island off this British resort colony.
A small boat brought the buxom, 28-year-old blonde, her husband Mickey Hargittay and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., hotel promotion man Jack Drury back to this capital from Rose Island.
An air-sea search involving more that 400 men had been launched at daybreak with a flotilla of yachts and small boats joining the Nassau Air-Sea Rescue Squadron and police craft which searched all night.
Miss Mansfield's rented 17-foot boat with a 40-horsepower motor had been found by fishermen late yesterday. The three had put out Wednesday morning for a few hours water skiing.
