Five Bills Aim at County Liquor Laws This Session
Five bills relating to county liquor laws entered the General Assembly this week. A key bill would create an investigator in the license commissioner's office. Other measures would raise license fees for beer and liquor. It remains unlikely any bill to permit liquor by the drink at restaurants will pass. Delaware County officials note home rule limits hinder city legislation. The College scholarship bill for teachers passed the Senate and faces third reading after recall.

Fifth A Bomb Set Off In Nevada Desert Test
LAS VEGAS November 9 The fifth atomic blast in the 1955 test series went off at Yucca Flat at 5 20 am from a 300 foot tower. It produced a brilliant white flash seen in Las Vegas about 75 miles away and a white cloud rose to 20 000 to 25 000 feet. Observers noted no felt shock in Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City described the event as weak and fleeting like a lightning flash. Army officials say smoke screens may shield heat radiation but not the blast or pressure wave. Gamma rays remain a danger. The test was considered a baby detonation with limited shock effect.
