Soviets Detonate
40-Megaton BomI)
In New Test Series
UPPSALA, Sweden UP — The
Soviet Union has launched a new
nuclear test series with a super
bomb blast which Swedish scien
tists placed in the 40-megaton
range, second only to the 50-mega
ton blast the Russians set off last
October.
The new blast Sunday, apparent
ly touched off at Soviet atomic
test grounds in Arctic Siberia,
came as no surprise to the West.
Premier Khrushchev had announ
ced his forces would have to re
sume testing because of the U. S.
Pacific tests now being concluded.
The U. S. State Department
called the Soviet explosion a ’‘som
ber episode” but made clear it
will not halt U.S, efforts to get
a nuclear test ban.
“The urgent problem before the
world is not who tests last, but
how we can rid the world of nuc
lear testing once and for all,” said
the department statement, refer
ring to Soviet statements that they
insisted on holding the last round
of tests.
Estimates varied as to the size
of the Soviet explosion Sunday be
lieved touched off on the island of
Novava Zemlva about 1,350 miles
east of Uppsala.
Uppsala University’s seismologi
cal institute classed it in the range
of 40 million tons of TNT and said
it occurred at a higher altitude
than the Soviet series of 1961.
RED CROSS BLOOD BANKS
ARE ALWAYS READY
Clarence Gladden of Gastonia,
X.C. doesn’t remember anything
about the accident that pinned him
between his wrecker and a car
he was hooking onto it, when an
other automobile hit the wrecker.
But he does remember 11 pints of
blood he got in the hospital. “The
doctors told me it saved my life,’’
he said. “You might say I owe my
life to the Red Cross and those
11 unknown people who gave the
blood I used.”

j NTAX'HST WEST PROPOSALS
| FOR BANNING OF TINTS
| GENEVA T- -The Soviet Union
! cold-shouldered today new West
< rn compromise proposals design
j cd break the deadlock on a treaty
for banning nuclear weapon tests.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Valerian Zorin told the 17-nation
disarmament conference the new
Western formula for test ban con
trols does not look promising.
Zorin thus chilled the Western
ideas even before they were for
mally presented. He told delegates
that U.S. Ambassador Arthur H.
Dean discussed some of the West
ern proposals informally with him
Sunday and that as far as he
could make out, the Western po
sition on the test ban issue has
not change in principle.
Dean earlier told the conference
the new Western suggestions will
be introduced after he completes
his informal discussions w i t h
Zorin.
Dean declared the Soviet re
sumption of nuclear tests Sunday
underlines the urgent need for a
treaty to end all testing.
Dean returned from Washington
Saturday with the new proposals.
They are believed to reduce the
number of international inspec
tions in the Soviet Union demand
ed by the West to guard against
cheating.

Jamaica Is Newest
Nation in Western
Hemisphere
KINGSTON. Jamaica .? — Ja
maica became the newest nation
of tile Western Hemisphere today
to the thunderous cheers of Ja
maicans in a ceremony watched
by British Princess Margaret and
U. S. Vice President Lyndon B
Johnson.
The petite princess, in dazzling
icy white gown and tiara, was
solemn as Britain’s Union Jack
came fluttering down and another
of the empire’s colonies broke
away.
As 25,non stood in National Sta
dium. massed bands played “God
Save the Queen,” a reminder that
this C'alvpso island remains a
member of the British Common
wealth after 307 years of British
rule.
The hour was midnight, and all
lights were switched off in the
stadium as the last strains of the
anthem echoed.
The princess seemed to sense the
feelings of her fellow countrymen.
When the massed bands began
playing, she arose and slowly
moved over to her husband. Lord
Snowdon, who was standing on
the platform several chairs away.
She stared straight ahead.
This is a national holiday and
no work is being done, but Tues
day the 50 - member parliament
meets for the first, time to begin
the work of an independent nation
Johnson, who was accomoaniec
here by his wife, told chcerim
, Jamaicans Sunday afternoon Prc
I sident Kennedy had sent him “be
! cause of friendship which will
grow and proper with your inde
pendence.’’
Jamaica, which will retain mem
bership in the British Common
wealth. has long had a wide degree
of autonomy, except over inter
national relations and defense.
Now if will assume these respson
sibilities.

drive in her car and relax.
It was a ride she never took.
Instead, she retired at 8 p.m., in
what her housekeeper. Mrs. Eunice
Murray, thought to be good spirits.
If she made any calls that eve
ning. they were local calls, tele
phone company records disclosed
no toll calls from her number.
Mrs. Murray rose at 3 a.m. Sun
day in her quarters in the star’s
Brentwood home — a wakened by
an uneasy dread she couldn't ex
plain-— and found Miss Monroe's
light sti! burning, her door locked,
and no answer to her knock. She
phoned Dr. Greenson.
He rushed to the home, smashed
a bedroom window with a fire
pi.tee poker, forced his way in, and
fold Mrs. Murray: "Shi appears to
be dead."
No notes were found She was
found lying face 'down, the covers
hunched around her shoulders.
