Mrs. William Lear, daughter of
Olsen, ordered the body moved.
She couldn’t be reached for com

“She never did feel right about
having Ole back there in Wichita

just like brothers.”

No Real Danger —
Yet. Says ‘Science”
WASHINGTON — If there’s a
potential health hazard to Alaskan
Eskimos from eating caribou con
taining exceptionally high amounts
of radioactive fallout, high school
age children are getting a break.
Leaving their native villages for
boarding schools is required for
Eskimo children of that age. This
has resulted in their absorbing
much less fallout material than
their folks back home, a team of
scientists reported today.
The reason:
While at boarding school, the
kids skip their native caribou diet
and eat white man’s food shipped
in from outside Alaska. This food
has a relatively low content of
radioactive cesium-137, the fallout
material which piles up in rela
tively high quantities in caribou
meat. The caribou get it from
eating lichens which absorb fall
out like blotting paper.
The report was made in the
technical journal ‘‘Science” by
four scientists of the Hanford Lab
oratories, Richland, Wash., oper
ated for the Atomic Energy Com
mission by the General Electric Co.
Their report mainly reiterated
one made recently at fallout hear
ings of the Senate-House Atomic
Energy Committee. In the earlier
report, a Hanford official said
Alaskan Eskimos have absorbed ra
diation doses exceeding at least
average permissible limits — from
; eating reindeer and caribou meat
unusually contaminated by bomb
i test fallout.
But the note about the high
school kids in today’s report was
a new wrinkle.
The Hanford official who re
ported to the Congressional com
| mittee said at the time he didn’t
believe the Eskimos were present
ly in any danger. But he added:
‘•This is not to say that in the long
term it would not be dangerous.”
In a statement issued later, the
AEC said:
‘‘Some of the Eskimos may have
*had) transient intake levels of
cesium-137 this summer at or even
slightly higher above the permis
sible guides, but will probably not
exceed these guide levels in a
; year’s averaged intake.”

tire Civil War with fewer photo
graphs than the average church
wedding requires today.

Big Girls Beware . . .
‘Shocking’ Is New Trend
LONDON UP — A pair of Brit- ;
ish dress designers revealed yester
day a super-low neckline that
seems to make the bra superfluous.
“These dresses are definitely !
not for the larger girl.” said a
spokesman for one of the style- J
makers. Asked to explain, he
added:
“Well, the larger girl might fall
out of her own dress — if you
get what I mean.”
Who could fail to get it?
The steepest plunger was a
gleaming yellow cocktail dress (by
Susan Smalli called a “trendsetter.”
The neckline on this job plunges
all the way down to Milady’s belt,
showing a large expanse of Milady.
Asked how she felt wearing this
super exposure, the model replied,
“I think it’s fun.”
Another plunger is a long black
lace dress with a square frilled
neckline <by Frank Usher). It
reveals about half of the girl’s
chest, but doesn’t dip as low as
the cocktail affair.
The trend toward the lower neck
line started at recent Paris show
ings, but the London designers
seem to have taken an even deeper
plunge.
Alaska GIs Will Receive
Foreign Duty Pay
JUNEAU (£> — Sen. E. L. Bart
lett said yesterday he was advised
by the Defense Department that
all servicemen stationed in Alaska
will be eligible for foreign duty pay
under the military pay raise bill
signed by President Kennedy
Wednesday.
As approved by Congress and the
President, the bill granted discre
tionary authority to the Secretary
of Defense to select the areas in
which servicemen would receive
foreign duty pay.
Bartlett, in a wire to the Asso
ciated Press at Juneau, said he
was advised by the Department of
Defense Thursday that the entire
state of Alaska has been desig
nated by Defense Secretary Robert
S. McNamara for entitlement to
the special pay.
