Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1967 Page Two Mining Congress Lists Speakers For Sept. Meeting Outstanding industrial The recent claim by deposed Soviet Premier Nikita Krushchev that he was responsible for the late President John F. Kennedys celebrated close 1960 election victory, is still being hotly debated. It was of particular interest to this columnist, who happened to play a role in the events involved in Krushchevs claim and who uncovered a sensational Cold War scandal that merits retelling now that Krushchev has revived the issue. absolute Soviet Krushchev, 11 ruler for years before his fall in 1964, permitted television interviewers to question him at the Soviet estate where he has been virtually imprisoned and exiled from power. A highlight of the celebrated interview was Krushchevs claim that he was responsible for then Senator Kennedys thin 112,000 vote victory over Republican Vice President Richard M. Nixon for the Presidency and there is a certain logic to Khrushchevs claim after his facts are sorted-ou- t. According to Krushchev, he decided in 1959 to begin a series of attacks on Nixon to prevent him from succeeding retiring President Eisenhower. The purpose of the attacks was to demonstrate to the American people that there could be no improvement in relations if Nixon should be elected. Krushchev claimed that he enabled Kennedy to collect 200,-00- 0 more votes than Nixon in the close 1960 election by refusing a request by Nixon that the spy plane pilot, captured U-Francis Gary Powers, be reSoviet-Ameri-ca- n 2 leased. If we had done it, Krushchev states in his filmed interview, Nixon would have revotes just ceived half-a-millio- n because that would have shown that Nixon could have established better contacts with the Soviet Union. Instead, he says the Kremlin decided not to give him any answer and gave it to Kennedy when he moved into the White House. And, Krushchev says, Kennedy later agreed that Moscows refusal to release Powers prevented Nixon from winning credit for the pilots release and cost the incumbent Republicans the Presidency. Krushchev was wrong in part of his recollection. And in replying to Krushchevs claim, former Vice President Nixon only added to the confusion. Nixon denies he ever sought to have the Soviets free U-spy pilot Powers. Krushchev appears to have confused thed release of Powers with the for that 2 more-celebrate- pre-electio- n imprison- ment of two other captured American fliers, which brought the U.S. and U.S.S.R. to a brink of war. It may be difficult for Americans to realize it now. But the American people became that incensed on July 1, 1960 when the Soviets shot down an Ameriweather reconnaiscan RB-47 sance plane over the Arctic. Four of its six crewmen were lost. The two survivors were held prisoner by the Russians. The incident threatened to exwhen it plode into near-wa- r NaUnited a to went special tions Security Council session called in the midst of the U.S. presidential election campaign. The U.S. denied Soviet charges that the plane had violated Rus- sian air space, demanded a Soviet apology and release of the prisoners. Russia vetoed a proposed independent inquiry and the issue of the fliers imprisonment went into the election campaign. It was in the middle of this nuclear war scare that this columnist was one of the first to learn that the Eisenhower-Nixo- n Administration was, indeed, a making major effort to win the fliers release before the lead- ers from three continents will give a World Outlook for Mining at the 70th Anniversary of the American Mining Congress in Denver Sept. 10-1- 3. J. Allen Overton Jr., AMC executive vice president, said, This is the first time in the 70 years of the American Mining Congress that we have been privileged to amass such knowledgeable eaders within the industry to report directly on the world outlook for mining. We expect some 3,000 mining larly an increase in the number Scientists Report On LSD Action On Chromosomes in- Living cells taken, from an animals blood, other tissues, or organs can be grown successfully for long periods of time outside the body in various chambers and on slides that can microscopic permit long-tertissue culture study. This technique is widely used to study, for example, the effects of drugs and other chemical substances on the growth and development of these living cells. State University of New York scientists, Maimon M. Cohen and Nathan Black, and Michelle Marinello of Buffalo Childrens Hospital, report the effects of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) on tissue cultures pf human white blood cells (leukocytes) in a recent issue of m of chromosome breaks. Studies of similar blood cells from a schizophrenic patient who had extensive treatment received with LSD for 4 years in conjunction with psychotherapy showed a 12 percent increase in chromosome breakage rate compared to the normal 3.7 percent. The significance of these findings is not now fully understood, but it seems that LSD is another chemical that is capable of quickly producing increased chromosomal damage. It may be that LSD acts on the stem-cel- l (the precursor of adult white blood cells), or that the drug acts on lymphocytes (the white blood cells) in the period prior to DNA (denon-granul- ar dustry leaders from throughout the United States and foreign oxyribonucleic acid) synthesis. countries at the Denver convenelection.
