A quirky hometown column recalls Senator Theodore Green turning 89 as he walks to work despite drizzle. The piece notes his wealth, fame for exercise, and a jab about saving 40 cents by walking. It also mentions other light vignettes including a nurse of the Arts and a rhino milking milestone in Germany.
Washington senator Henry M. Jackson urged President Eisenhower to decide if top priority should go to developing a fleet of atom powered submarines armed with ballistic missiles. He proposed a commission to advise on the matter and said such a fleet would deter war, preserve peace, and pose an almost impossible dilemma for the Soviet Union in a nuclear conflict.
Washington lawmakers weigh the health effects of increased atomic radiation as experts like Dr. Dunham and Dr. Mills testify on balancing nuclear energy benefits with radiation exposure. The line between safe limits and prohibitive controls sparks questions about fallout dangers and future power, amid political pressure around Vermillion and Kelly.
The report notes a Vermillion worker who, while laboring hard for the venture, was seen walking away claiming he sought nothing in return. The article emphasizes modest motives and ongoing efforts without detailing any compensation or rewards.
