All occupants of the burned building were evacuated but damage was estimated at $100,000. Also burned out was the Madison Rendering Plant, North Lake, where damage was estimated at $175,000 by company officials.

Another fire raced through three buildings at Bolivar, injuring five persons and causing damage estimated at between $100,000 and $150,000. Three of the injured, a father, his 11-year-old daughter and his 4-yeafrold son-were hospitalized after a fire-weakened wall collapsed on them.

WYNN scientific gathering: I Evidence that a "race of supermen" could be created by injection of chemicals into the brain was presented by a young Pittsburgh psychologist. The possibility that the United States government may have cracked the "secret code" of radio signals transmitting information from Sputnik' II was raised by Air Force Maj.

David G. Simons, famed aeronaut and space surgeon. A Kansas researcher charged that social attitudes have made the topic of sex instruction a "Never Never Land" of public education, depriving youth of facts he termed necessary in "a major development task" in a "demanding society." A group of scientists declared the only proper role of science in morality is to show the consequences of various kinds of human conduct and then describe the conditions under which human relations might be im-prowa: "THE DAMAGE expected from fallout will in most cases noi occur until a minimum of about 10 to 30 years has elapsed and often much later," Dr. Commoner continued, citing the report. "SINCE the isotope of chief concern, Strontium 90, is relatively long-lived, fallout will be perceptible for a few generations even if no further tests occur," he added.

However, Dr. William G. Myers of Ohio State University placed much of the radiation blame, not on fallout, but on the "almost criminal" use of radioactive equipment itv X-rays and fluoroscopes. It was estimated that medical use of radioactive equipment causes about 5 roentgens of radiation which should be controlled by stiff laws. IN A BURST of satire, Dr.

Marshall Brucer, chairman of the medical division at Oak Ridge, declared humans can safely stand 10 times the amount of radiation now present in the atmosphere. "There is no such thing Turn to Page 12, Column 2 Washington (AP) President Eisenhower is expected to send Congress next month a budget approaching highest in peacetime and comparable to the peak-spending of the Korean War. An official said yesterday the administration still hopes to balance-this-reply-to-Russia budget for fiscal the current decline in Federal revenue caused by a business recession. Some budget decisions remain to be made, this high source indicated, including whether to ask for a special military contingency fund of perhaps $500,000,000 to be used at Eisenhower's Such a fund was described as one of several proposals advanced with the aim of giving the President standby resources to exploit any prom-ising advance in rocket weaponry. IN NON-DEFENSE categories, little if any cost reduction-is foreseen in -spite of Eisenhower's November call for the outright elimination of some "desirable" but "less essential" programs.

The official suggested the administration is trying to find additional money for the missiles race partly from cutbacks in existing military programs. He gave this over-all picture of the budget outlook as it stands today: Dangers of radioactivity were summarized by Dr. Barry Commoner, professor of botany at St. Louis' Washington University. CITING the extensive report of the recent hearings of the Joint Congressional Commit- Other Stories And Pictures On Pages 2 And 4 tee on Atomic Energy, he listed these perils to the world's population: The present radi a 1 1 level may result in the birth of 2,500 to 13,000 genetically defective children in the next generation.

Another 25,000 to 100,000 persons may succumb to leukemia, fatal blood disease, or bone tumor in the next generation. Radioactive isotopes contained in the fallout produced by past nuclear tests are being spread throughout the world, and increase the radioactivity received by every person on earth.

"This International Geophysical Year is a good example of how security measures complicate things," he elaborated. "It was supposed to be a world-wide project with free exchange of information on all sides." Then came his reference to "the information we have" about the Soviet space-dog.

MAJ. SIMONS, who answered uesttonr4nformally at a meeting of science leaders and high-honor science students in Herron Art Institute, later added that it was not his job to determine what information should be classified.

The bodies of Pvt. Donald C.

Moore, 21 years old, and Mrs. Elizabeth Eads Moore, 35, were discovered by a newspaper carrier about 9 a.m. in their car sunk in the mud near 560 South Fuller Drive. Moore, on leave from Camp Pendleton, lived at 625 South Whitcomb Avenue and Mrs. Moore resided at 1245 South Shepard Street.

The cap is believed to have gotten stuck about 1 a.m. yesterday. Mrs. May Mitchell, 75, who lives at 560 South Fuller Drive, said Moore came to her home about that time and asked if anyone was around who could help get the car on the road. MRS.

MITCHELL said she told him there wasn't anyone available but offered the use of her telephone to call a wrecker. Moore told her, she said, that he would go back to the car and might use the phone later. Mrs. Mitchell related that she went back to bed and shortly later heard another car drive in, stop, and then leave again. She assumed the second car had picked up Moore and his companion, she said.

Mrs. Mitchell said ariews-paper carrier came to her door shortly before 9 a.m. yesterday and told her two people were asleep in a car outside. About that time, she said, a Sunday School bus arrived and the driver said he would free the car but didn't have a chain. He wanted to leave and return later but Mrs.

Mitchell insisted they investigate the car first. When there was no response to a knock on the car window, Mrs. Mitchell said she opened a door of the car and realized the couple was either dead or dying. Sheriff's Deputy Robert M. Smith said when he arrived and opened the car the fumes were "strong enough to knock you down." Both exhaust pipes of the 1955 Chrysler were plugged with mud, he said, and the would have had to run only a short time before fumes entered the car.

DR. JAMES W. Anderson, Marion County deputy coroner, ruled the deaths were accidental and listed carbon monoxide poisoning as the cause. Another brother of the dead Marine, James E. Moore, 26, 130 Furman Drive, said that Donald, Mrs.

Moore and her husband, Herman S. Moore had been visiting him Saturday night when Donald and Mrs. Moore decided to go get something to eat. They had planned to return and pick Turn to Page 12, Column 3 Customer Finds Pcrtect Solution 1957 Alltlote Me-ed. like new.

"Within the military budget there will be cutbacks in some areas and increased spending emphasis in newer areas. Total spending will be higher. On the civilian side the main idea will be to prevent any increase." THE BUDGET for the government year starting next July 1 therefore will be sharply up from the total officially scheduled for this (1958) fiscal year a sum which Secretary of Defense McElroy has indicated may actually rise or so because of accelerated military spending.

McElroy's share of the new budget will be in the neighborhood of $40,000,000,000, compared with the original ceiling of $38,000,000,000 for this year and actual outlays now estimated at around Officials expect no great outcry from Congress at the new budget, except possibly at the failure to reduce civilian spending as had been hoped. Some Congress members, especially on the Democratic side, have urged an all-out program to overtake Soviet achievements in military technology. MOST government economists believe the business downtrend will have been reversed by the time the 1959 fiscal year starts, six months hence. An arctic-like wave of frigid weather that spread across the Midwestyesterdayt3e pected to push colder weather and rain or sleet turning to snow to Indianapolis tonight. The weather bureau also expects continued cold tomorrow with occasional snow flurries.

The thermometer will hover around 30 degrees today after an early-morning low of 24. Yesterday the high temperature reached 42 after a low of 24. The cool aftermath of nearly a week of spring-like weather was repeated throughout the upper areas of the Midwest yesterday with wintry blasts hammering the mercury below zero in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota and parts of South Dakota. COLDEST READING was 22 degrees below zero at Grand Rapids, the Associated Press reported. Weather forecasters said the cold wave is expected to engulf most of the northeastern states before spreading southward deep into Indiana and Illinois.

Accompanying the 1 wave was a snow storm de-' scribed as one of the heaviest in a decade on Michigan's Keewenaw Peninsula. More than 18 inches of snow had fallen there since Saturday morning, observers said, with hundreds of cars marooned throughout the area. SEVERAL SERIOUS fires were reported, including one in the Coldwater (Mich.) State BALLOONIST RAISES U.S: May By PAUL M. DOHERTY The possibility that the United States "broke" the secret code from Russia's space satellite "Muttnik" and then clamped a security classification on the in-formation gained was raised here yesterday by the Air Force's famed balloonist and space surgeon, Maj. David G.

Simons. Maj. Simons, the only man to reach an altitude of 17 miles in a balloon, raised the question of Mutt-nik's signals during an interview concerning space research and security measures. "ALL THE information we have about that dog in the Russian satellite is highly classified," the 35-year-old aeronaut commented.

The technique of bringing satellites safely back to earth "has not yet been perfected." A Russia's Sputnik I will orbit around earth for one more month, while Sputnik II will last at least six months.

BLAGONRAVOV'S state-ments were the first he had made to a foreign correspondent since returning to Moscow from the International Geophysical Year convention in Washington last October. Blagonravov refused to say when the Soviet Union will attempt to reach the moon with a rocket, explaining: "The most important thing now is to photograph the opposite side of the moon. I can assure you that we will succeed in this."

"OR if we decoded the signal Simons answered. When pressed on whether he had knowledge that the government was suppressing scienti i data about the dog satellite, the major said he didn't know whether the code had been broken.

"BUT WHATEVER we do have is highly classified," he added. Simons was here to address the American Association for the Advancement of Science convention.

The Allies planned a protest to Russia. In an obvious effort to force recognition from the West, the Communist regime announced that effective Jan.

In effect, It is another Berlin blockade with passage of Western civilians in and out of the old German capital possible only by air if they refuse to get East German visas. The regulations were announced in the East Berlin Press. East German officials sent notices to the United States, British and French missions posted here 110 miles behind the Iron Curtain.

Replying swiftly, a U.S. mission spokesman snapped: "We have no intention of applying to the East Germans for visas." The British and French reacted similarly. The West has refused to recognize the East German regime. UNDER four-power occupation accords, accredited Allied civilians have been able to obtain Russian visas for travel through East Germany. The Western Big Three in co-operation with West Germany have been stubbornly opposing Russia's step-by-step policy of granting all the trappings of sovereignty to the German puppet state.

Allied diplomats expressed the hopeful opinion the restrictions would apply to them only on trips within East Germany and not on the 110-mile autobahn-rail corridor from the West German border to Berlin.
