Gov. Underwood sought a director, warning that no administrator means no payroll or purchase clearances. The issue affects Weston, Spencer, Huntington, Lakin, Barboursville, St. Marys, and related clinics.

Eisenhower Opens Door to Ban on Nuclear Tests
President Eisenhower voiced willingness for a total ban on atomic tests if the Soviet Union accepts a heat proof disarmament system. He warned ongoing U S testing will continue to curb fallout and doubted another H-bomb test like 1954’s is likely. He pressed that next moves depend largely on the Russians and critiqued Khrushchev’s TV appearance as a commercial broadcast rather than a genuine exchange. He noted U S relations with Formosa and signaled openness to trade with Red China, while pledging justice in the Girard case and caution over civil rights contempt trials. The remarks followed Senate subcommittee hearings on fallout risks and reflected the era’s strategic tension and public diplomacy debates.
