at Ciudad Fi II lh fid 1 Associated Press Wirfphoto. dictator of the Dominican Trujillo yesterday for the Says Blasts in Space, Underground Would Result irj Negligible Radiation. Nuclear tests carried out underground or in outer space, as contemplated by the Atomic Energy Commission, would produce a negligible amount of radiation in the earth's atmosphere, Dr. Edward Teller, physicist, sajd here last night. He spoke at the annual banquet of the Washington University Medical Alumni Association at the Chase Hotel.

In underground tests most of the radiation would be absorbed by the earth and the rest would be limited to the immediate area. Teller said. Tests now planned are in virtually unpopulated areas, further reducing the haz-zards, he said. Little radiation would get bark to earth from nuclear explosions in space, the speaker said. Teller, who played an import-ant role in developing the hydrogen bomb, is a professor of physics at the University of California.

In an interview yesterday he said danger to human beings from underground testing would be far less than urban smoke or certain food additives. Rats and mice have been subjected to 50 times as much radiation as might be expected from test fallout and ave lived 10 per cent longer than normal, he said. While not recommending such dosage as a way to longer life, he said the experimental result indicate that opponents of nuclear testing have exaggerated the danger. He said the rodents given the radiation dosage had shown a tendency to develop cancer but they generally died of pneumonia rather than of the malignancy. "There is no question that fallout is dangerous to persons subjected to a large amount," he said.

"Therefore, careful safeguards are planned for each test." DR. ERICH BROCKELMANN FOUND DEAD IN HIS HOME The body of Dr. Erich Brock-elmann, a dermatologist, was found by police yesterday in th bedroom of his home. Princeton avenue, University City. Dr.

Brockclmann, 71 yean old, had suffered a heart attack, St. Louis County Coroner Raymond I. Harris said. University City police broke into the home after friends told police they, had been unable to reach him since last Wednesday. The physician had been under a doctor's care for a heart ailment for five years.

He was a widower. Harris said no inquest would be held. ment of 100 tractors. After a meeting with five agri cultural engineering experts, members of the group proposed to Castor that he accept 50 heavy treaded tractors with land-clearing equipment. These would range in size from 8940 pounds to 18,000 pounds.

i The Cuban Premier demanded jthat all 500 machines be 30-ton treaded models costing $40,000 jeach with attachments. The com-i mittee offered none this large. The remaining 450 tractors would be four types of smaller, general-purpose wheeled vehicles. The committee demanded a list of the prisoners Castro has said he is prepared to release. "As soon as we receive directly from you the official confirmation and list," the message went on, "we are prepared to meet with the person or persons who will represent you and with whom we may work out the retails for shipping the tractors and for verifying the identity and securing the release of the prisoners." The committee was formed at the request of President Kennedy, who has urged Americans to contribute.

The plan has been attacked in Congress, primarily by Republicans, as blackmail.

DROPS 10 REVENUE CLERKS; St. Louis County Director of Revenue James W. Hopkins has released JO more temporary employes in his department, he announced yesterday. Hopkins said the 10 were clerks in the assessor's office and were no longer needed because of a reduction of work.

Nr York Times ns Scrviro DETROIT. June 3-The tractors for Freedom Committee cabled Cuban Premier Castro yesterday that it was ready to send him the 500 tractors he had demanded in exchange for 1214 prisoners captured in the ill-fated invasion of the island. The committee gave Castro until Wednesday noon to accept the offer. The committee's leaders are Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, Dr.

Milton S. Eisenhower, president of Johns Hopkins University, Walter P. Reuther, head of the United Auto Workers, and Joseph M. Dodge, a Detroit banker and former director of the budget. The committee said it had received 25,000 contributions but had not opened the envelopes in which they were received pending Castro's acceptance.

"These tractors are already 'n inventory," the message to Cas-j tro said. "We are prepared to ship 100 tractors to Cuba within the two weeks following your acceptance of our proposal." The committee said it would ship additional tractors in lots of 100 until the total of 500 had been delivered. The committee asked that one-fifth of the prisoners be released on receipt of each ship POLICEMAN FINDS BODY OF MAN ON PARKING LOT The body of a man identified fiom fingerprints as Harry E.

Police said Mueller apparently had been run over by the rear wheels of a truck, the driver of which probably was unaware of the accident.

Records at police headquarters showed that Mueller had been arrested several times for loitering and vagrancy under the name of Harry E. Mueller and John L. Meyer. No relatives could be found immediately.

WASHINGTON, June 3 (AP)-The Federal Reserve Board does not intend to peg interest rates, Chairman William McChesney Martin Jr. said yesterday under questioning about President Kennedy's call for interest easing.

However, Martin did not declare himself in opposition to the President. Instead, the former St. Louisan insisted under long interrogation by members of the Joint Senate -House Economic Committee that setting of interest rates generally is not the Federal Reserve's business. He said, "It is a mistake to think that interest rates alone can cure unemployment." Martin was asked particularly about this statement in the message Mr. Kennedy delivered personally to Congress May 25: "The full financial influence of the Government must continue to be exerted in the direction of general credit ease and further monetary growth while the economy is recovering.

Some further monetary growth while the economy is recovering, some further downward adjustment in interest rates, particularly those which have been slow to adjust in the recent recession, are clearly desirable; and certainly to increase them would choke off recovery." Martin said the Federal Reserve Board "carefully considers anything the President of the United States says" and that he would be glad to make sure every member of its open market committer had a copy of the statement. Pressed as to what further action might be taken, Martin said the board would consider the message "in the light of all the circumstances." He emphasized that the President was talking about all the Government agencies that have an influence on rates and noted that by presi- dential order Federal Housing Administration mortgage interest had been cut. However, he said, the Federal Reserve, which buys and sells Government obligations, operates primarily to "supply reserves to the economy, not to fix interest rates at any particular level." "We do not intend to peg interest rates," he said, and observed that if business conui-tions continue to improve rates will tend to increase "we can perhaps mitigate this, but not control it."

Forces On Alert. By the Associated Press. United States Navy and Marine units were on the alert along the eastern seaboard today. White said yesterday the use of United States forces in the Caribbean country was not planned now. He did not rule out the posibility of such action later if American lives were endangered.

These military movements In the night made obvious that there was a considerable alert of Navy and Marine forces on the East Coast and in the Caribbean: The aircraft carrier Shangri-la put out to sea at Jacksonville, under a general alert condition. Its decks were jammed with jet fighters. A Navy spokesman said it was ordered to sea "to be ready in the event of an emergency." At Camp Lejeune, N.C., a Marine spokesman said units of the Second Marine Division were undergoing "a test of our ability to move out rapidly." The Greensboro Daily News, quoting reliable sources, had reported that Marine units along the coast were being loaded aboard carriers to take positions off the Dominican Republic's coast. At Providence, R.I., television stations interrupted programs to notify the crews of the fleet oilers Calooshahatchee and Allagash to return to their ships at once. The Navy said later the crews were called back because the ships had received orders to get under way for "routine fueling operations." In Washington, a Pentagon spokesman said there would be other ship movements before morning, but he and other officials declined to discuss any specific military movements.

Landing Team Kept Afloat. Another Pentagon source pointed out that since last year the United States has kept a 2000-man battalion landing team of the Second Marine Division afloat in the Caribbean, ready for immediate action. This source noted also that the U.S.S. Northampton, flagship of the United States Second Fleet, put out to sea from Norfolk, Wednesday. He said the aircraft carrier Intrepid sailed Thursday from Norfolk.

At Norfolk, Navy sources had no comment on the deployments. In Washington, available State Department officials said they knew of no department request to the military to alert forces for use in the Dominican Republic. However, it appeared obvious that plans were ready for evacuation of Americans should their lives become endangered. Meanwhile, reports reaching Washington indicated a purge may be under way on the island. These reports indicated that some anti-Trujillo elements may be in control of areas outside Ciudad Trujillo, the capital.

While Ciudad Trujillo was outwardly quiet, troops have been seen leaving the capital for undisclosed destinations.

The note was delivered in Moscow as President Kennedy and Premier Khrushchev met in Vienna to discuss East-West issues, including the question of Berlin and Germany. A Foreign Office spokesman said he understood similar notes were being sent to Moscow by the United States and French governments. Mr. Kennedy and French President De Gaulle discussed the Berlin problems in their three days of talks in Paris this week. It was made clear that the United States and France would defend Allied rights in Berlin.

The British note was in reply lo a Soviet message of April 15 complaining about the decision of the West German government In set up a federal agency supervising the West German banking system in Berlin. The British note said the ngency would be subject to the ''very adequate procedures safeguards" governing the operations of all West German agencies in the former capital of Germany. "As is well known to the Soviet government, Her Majesty's government have been scrupulous in their concern for the maintenance of the special status of Berlin, a status which they wish to note extends to all four sectors of the city," the British note said. "For their part Her Majesty's government will continue to act in accordance with the principle rf four-power responsibility for greater Berlin. "Furthermore the accusation that the authorities in the Federal Republic have acted provca-tively is without foundation and there is no reason to suppose that the possible adoption of the law in Berlin would be in any way incompatible with the quadripartite status of the city." 10 RAILROADS SEEK 5 PCT.
