Corrections Board
To Replace Arrendale
ATLANTA (UPI) — The State
Board of Corrections has voted
to replace Reidsville Prison
medical director Dr. J. J. Ar
rendale, according to Gov. Les
ter Maddox.
Maddox said Wednesday
night he had been informed
that the board had taken such
action. The board met Wednes
day at the prison and voted to
take the action after question
ing Arrendale. Termination of
his state employment is effec
tive July 1.
Arrendale came under fire
for his role in the controversial
medical reprieve of convicted
robber John W. Brooks and for
accepting a $2.50 per pint fee
for blood donated by Reidsville
inmates.
In testimony before a Senate
committee investigating the
Brooks reprieve last week, Dr.
John Lindsey, a Reidsville staff
physician, said his superior was
"not suited to be a medical di
rector at any prison” in Geor
gia. He also said he would not
send any member of his family
to Arrendale for medical treat
ment.
Other testimony revealed Ar
rendale failed to grant neces
sary surgery to Brooks, an in-

Brooks was in prison four
months before he obtained the
medical reprieve to have sur

The reprieve was canceled
after it was learned Brooks was
wanted on numerous charges,
including kidnaping and escape,
in Sumter and Crisp counties.
Corrections Director Asa Kel

Board were criticized by Oov.
Lester Maddox in connection
with the reprieve.
Maddox told newsmen last
week Arrendale would “have to
go” because it was “unethical
and wrong” for him to collect
fees without the prisoners'
knowledge for blood they had
volunteered.
The governor also said Arren

solitary confinement for refus

inmate learned the physician
was receiving a fee from the

US Concludes Red China
Dropped H-Bomb From Plane
By DARRELL GARWOOD
United Press International
WASHINGTON (UPI) —
American authorities have con
cluded that Red China used a
plane drop in testing its first
hydrogen bomb last weekend.
There was a 3’/ 2 -year span
between the time the United
States exploded its first hydro
gen device and dropped ane
from a plane.
If the analysis of the Chinese
test is correct, it means that
Peking has a bomb that it can
deliver by bomber, although
probably not refined enough to
use as a missile warhead.
Analysis of radioactive mater
ial plucked from the atmos
phere during the next few days
is expected to provide better
evidence of the altitude at
which the bomb was exploded.
The Atomic Energy Commis
sion has said its data indicated
the detonation was at an
altitude “far below” the 18 to 31
Planes Collide

SAIGON (UPD—An Air Force
Phantom jet and a four-engine

today.
The two pilots of the Phantom

no word on the fate of the seven
persons aboard the Constella
tion.
The large plane, distinguisha
ble because of its criple tail,
crashed in the vicinity of the
port facility of Newport on the
city’s outskirts and st fire to a
number of houses, a military
spokesman said.

The fire was reported still

Japanese scientists.
Above Ground Level
However, the commission
implied that the explosion was
well above ground level, which
would mean that it could not
have been set off in a steel
tower as were America’s early
experiments with the H-bomb.
that would leave a plane, a
rocket or a balloon as the
means for carrying the H-bomb
aloft. It is almost certain that
China has no rocket capable of
the job, and a balloon exper
iment would be both clumsy and
expensive.
The first American hydrogen
blast was Nov. 1, 1952. The
device weighed 65 tons. The
second test was March 1, 1954.
It was not until May, 1956, that
the United States dropped an H
bomb from a plane.
Most of America’s intercon
tinental missile warheads weigh
approximately one ton or less.
Wildcat Strike
Hits GM Plant
ATLANTA (UPI) —A ’‘wild
cat” strike at the Chevrolet and
Fisher Body plants of General
Motors here kept an estimated
2,750 employes from the jobs to
day.
A spokesman for General Mo
tors said the strike forced the
Chevrolet plant to suspend all
operations on the second shift
Wednesday night. He said that
during the night, picket lines
were placed around the plant
entrances and no hourly - rated
employes showed up for work
this morning.
The strike involved members
of United Automobile Workers
Local 34. A union source said
the walkout was called because
the company had fired or laid
off several union committee
men.
The first atomic bomb weighed
five tons. China’s H-bomb
probably weighed close to five
tons.
Ca ll Reduce Weight
The weight can be greatly
reduced by further experiments,
especially if the Chinese H
bomb was high in the “several
megaton” force that the AEG
estimated. In the A-bomb field,
the Chinese proved they could
go from a bomb to a missile
warhead at a rapid pace.
Their first atomic test, on
Oct, 16, 1964, was a tower shot
approximately equalling the
Hiroshima bomb. Their fourth
nuclear explosion, Oct. 27, 1966,
was carried a distance of 400 to
500 miles by a rocket.
However, there is no simple
way of comparing the Chinese
achievement with U.S. develop
ment of the H-bomb.
