Wright said the Prep and Molino cases had no connection although he asserted their methods of operation were "comparable." Leader, obviously embarrassed by the role of Democrats in the alleged cinder fraud, was cautious as to what results would be produced by the probe. At a' meeting of Democratic workers and leaders from LI counties in WMamsport last night, the governor said he was an organization Democrat "up to my ears" but that he had warned at the start of his administration it would be "no hayride." He read his news conference on the alleged fraud to the meeting and told the workers: "The people of Pennsylvania are sick and tired of the selfish and grasping Republican leadership and don't want to be a part of anyone or any party who will duplicate such tactics. "I am organization up to my ears but the Democrats cannot follow in the footsteps of the selfish Republican party." In the four page statement, Leader said: "We cannot speculate at this time on the existence of fraud in other counties without doing injury to the investigation still in progress. Any fraud in county will be aggressively prosecuted." A newsman's tip led to the investigation. Leader said Peter Stevenson, city editor of the Lock Haven Express, wrote to the Leader administration about evidence of the alleged cinder Stevenson, on vacation, was unavailable for comment.

Then, he added, disarmament would follow step- by-step almost automatically. 'The President said the American Allied offer to set up inspection zones would cover all of North America north of the Rio Grande and all of Europe, in exchange for similar 7ones of inspection over the Soviet Union and its satellites in Europe. Acceptance of this great proposal, he said, would relieve the world of attack fears. If the Soviet Union decides against this broad proposal, the President pointed out that the American-Allied plan provides for creation of a smaller Arctic area test zone to see if mutual confidence between East and West can be developed from a smaller beginning. Eisenhower said, however, that nothing is going to work in the field of disarmament unless there is a growth of mutual confidence between East and West.

Academy: The House tentatively shipped the new Air Force Academy of money to build an airfield and an aluminum chapel.

Congressmen said the academy didn't need the airfield because it doesn't give cadets flight training there. Critics of the chapel called it a "monstrosity revolting a series of tepees."

The Hash was p'lainfcly visible in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Los An- geles; Atom watchers in a til" Francisco described it as "one of- the biggest flashes seen here." The fireball maintained its eye- blinding brilliance for more'than 30 seconds and glowed in the crisp morning skios for more than half a. minute. Meanwhile, demonstrators faced with possible imprisonment indi- cated they would defy the Atomic Energy Commission for the second time and enter the Nevada Prov- ing Grounds in a protest against nuclear testing. Ten men and a woman were arrested Tuesday for trespass as they walked into the restricted area in a demonstration marking the 12th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Nearly 100 AEC security guards stationed behind barbed wire gates were prepared to repulse the demonstration.

However, the County sheriff's office stepped in and arrested tha ''atom-lepers" on charges they violated Nevada's trespass law. The demonstrators were off to a 20 by 20 feet cement block jail courthouse building in by Beatty. They pleaded guilty but- released as imposition of sentence was suspended for a year.

Russian Delegate: Says Atomic Test: Ban'Impossible' (Continued Prom One) The western allies oppose any sort of nuclear weapons tests ban without airtight controls to insure that neither side breaks the agree- ment. Russia wants a ban of two or three years, which would the Soviet Union, according to some western experts, just 1 about time enough to catch up with the American stockpile nuclear bombs.

The West wants to couple a ban- on tests with cessation of pro-" duction of the bombs. Russia has- imofficially turned up its nose at -this stipulation. American officials feel the Unit-" ed States could stop tests production for 10 months, but not much longer, without serious im-" pairment to the defense program. Dulles "Open Skies" are considered by western ials as the necessary first step, in order to insure against a stir-" prise attack. Zorin sought clarification of cer- tain parts of the plan.

He asked the western delegates at the UN i disarmament subcommittee ference in London why the pro- posals excluded allied bases "ring- ing" the Soviet Union from North-:" Africa, across Asia to Japan. U.S. delegate Harold E. sen replied that Communist Chian and other -Asian allies of which the Wo.si considered stra- were excluded from the plan. Stassen noted that it was 3(50 considered desirable to leave Red China out of the" first-step disarmament plan because it is pres- ently the subject of an East-West political dispute.
