Wilson Expresses Hope
Russia Will Negotiate
WASHINGTON (/ P) —Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson said today he holds a
“reasonable hope” that Soviet Russia ultimately will negotiate with this country on dis-
armament.

Says 3rd Party
A Possibility
WASHINGTON. March 15 (/P)
—Rep. Adam C. Powell, New
York Negro Democrat, said today
a new political party is " a dis
tinct possibility” as a result of
the battle over segregation.
Powell told a news conference
“many in this country are dis
turbed by what is happening to
the Democratic party.”
He said unless Democrats re
turn to the policies of former
President Truman particularly
in the field of civil rights—“many
Negroes will desert it.”
Powell said he would not give
his own vote “in this testing
hour” to any candidate who fails
to make civil rights a major part
of his campaign.
He indicated he is not com
pletely satisfied with President
Eisenhower’s present stand.
He said Eisenhower’s position
was much more affirmative dur
ing the first two years of his
administration than now. But he
added:
"If President Eisenhower goes
back to where he left off two
years ago on civil rights and
Adlai Stevenson or other Demo
crat ic candidates continue to
stand in the middle of the road
—l’d probably vote Republican.”
He then said that if both parties
“stand still" on the issue a third
party might be the answer.
New Planet Creation Plan
Advanced by Astro-Physicist
PASADENA, Calif., March 15 (/P) —Revamping the solar
system to create a hundred new planets with a climate like
earth’s was proposed today by a noted astrophysicist as a way
of solving humanity’s biggest
problem—overpopulation.
Dr. Fritz Zwicky, California In
stitute of Technology rocket ex
pert, told a reporter that such a
project is definitely within the
realm of possibility.
Dr. Zwicky i\ visions scooping
up great portions of the major
planets, such as Jupiter, Saturn
and Neptune, and transferring
them to smaller planets and their
satellites—then changing the or
bits of the enlarged planets to
make their course around the sun
roughly comparable to that of our
earth.
Explains Atom Uses
Bumping the planets out of their
orbits, transferring great masses
of matter across space, all this
can be accomplished, the scientist
said, through proper use of the

And he said he is sure there
must be “some men of good will
in Russia just like there are in
this country.”
Requirements Explained !
But Wilson made it clear the
United States does not propose to
disarm until there is agreement
on a plan for safe control. He
said the aerial inspection and
exchange of military blueprints
proposed by President Eisenhow
er would be a “good start” and
added:
“Any system would have to in
clude ground inspection.”
Wilson testified before a sub
committee headed by Sen. Hubert
Humphrey (D-Minn.) which is
hunting for means to promote dis
armament. He was accompanied
by Adm. Arthur Radford, chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Humphrey wanted to know
“how you can have an effective
inspection system if you cannot
be sure as to what nuclear stock
piles are hidden away?”
Weapons Undetectable
Previous testimony has brought
out that hidden stockpiles can
not be detected 100 yards away.
Wilson said he appreciates the
difficulties but he does not con
sider the ultimate development of
detection devices impossible.
In his prepared testimony Wil
son said no safe atomic disarma
ment control plan is “in imme
diate prospect,” and added:
“Until science evolves a satis
factory method for the detection
of hidden stockpiles, no disarm
ament program undertaken in the
interim can provide a control
system for nuclear weapons which
would preclude risks to security
interests of the United States.”

weapon against the cosmos—the
explosion of the atom.
The hydrogen bomb, Dr, Zwicky
said, may not necessarily be the
.instrument of man's destruction.

salvation.
Proposes Segregation
There are far too many of us
now, and it will be even worse in
the future . . . The answer to this
problem is virtually within our
grasp if we would only seize it."
“We have a problem of segrega
tion of races. Some races just
don’t seem to get along with each
other. What could be simpler
than segregating these races on
other planets?”
Just how does the world go
about transferring whole races to
other planets?

Ike Grants Relief
To Warren Area
For Flood Havoc
WASHINGTON (.T)—President
Eisenhower today allocated an in
itial $50,000 for relief of the flood-
damaged Warren, Pa., area.
The President acted at the re
quest of Gov. George M. Leader
of Pennsylvania. He advised the
White House that some 2000 per
sons were driven from their
homes by floods a few days ago.
Leader said there also was
heavy damage to schools, hospi
tals and other public facilities.
The President’s grant is for use,
the White House said, in the Alle
gheny River Valiye area in the
vicinity of Warren.
Eisenhower approved allocation
jof $50,000 after receiving a recom
jmendation from Val Peterson,
chief of the federal civil defense
administration.
Senate Passes
Retirement Bills
HARRISBURG, March 15 (fl 1 )
The Senate today passed and sent;
to the House a group of bills to
pave the way for consolidation of
state and municipal employe re- 1
tirement benefits with the federal!
Social Security system. j
The plan, if approved by the
House and governor, could in- 1
crease substantially the benefits
to thousands of state, county and
municipal workers throughout
Pennsylvania.
Final decision on whether to
accept the proposal would be left
up to the individual employe re
tirement groups on a vote of the
membership.
To receive the increased bene
fits—which would go as high as
80 per cent of the retiring work
er’s last salary—the individual
would pay slightly higher rates.
The new system also would re
sult in an increase of about three
million dollars.
Nehru Invited to U.S.
WASHINGTON (/P) — Prime;
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru of In-!
dia, whose neutrality policies arej
frequently criticized in Congress |
as lending comfort to the Soviet
bloc, has been invited to visit
the United States as President!
Dwight D. Eisenhower’s guest.

Lack of Appointees
Declared by Hoover
WASHINGTON, March 15 (/P) —Former President Her-

in the government to
electorate."
I Hoover addressed a National
Action Conference of the U. S
Chamber of Commerce, called to
muster suuport for the adoption
by Congress and the administra
tion of the year-old recommenda
tions of his second Commission
on Government Reorganization.
Perhaps 2000 more policy-level
jobs should he made “srubject to
party choice" and appointment
by the President, Hoover told 400
business and civic leaders at the
day-long meeting.
No Spoils Sylem
“Do not gel scared that we are
proposing a spoils system,” he
added. “That would be about 1/10
of 1 per cent of the present civil
service.
“But this relates to the funda
mental responsibility of main
taining two-party government.”
Hoover repeated the plea of his
12-member commission for better
“pay, security and prestige” for
the entire carrier service to “keep
government talent from being
constantly grabbed by business.”
( Meyer Kestnbaum, special
White House assistant on reor
ganization problems. reported
President Eisenhower has assured
him of his "very deep interest
in getting the benefits from the
Hoover recommendations.”
No Action Taken
But Kestnbaum mentioned no
recent? decisions to adopt specific
proposals. The Hoover report to
Congress last spring carried 362
recommendations for action by
Congress or the administration.
To date about 16 per cent have
been adopted.
Kestnbaum observed that “not
all officals leap to the front”
when operating changes arc urged
on them. The agencies now are
making reports on the recommen
dations affecting them, he said.

Workers Silent
But there was no immediate in

Reports circulated that the
strike, which has paralyzed the

run by Turks, a minority, were
open.
