wan!-IINGTON. (AP) - The atomic lmergy Commission re- ported late Tuesday that there has been a series of atomic explosions

in Russia since mid-September.

A brief statement from the AEC said:

"The chairman of the Atomic mercy Commission Lewis etrauas riated that there had been a ser- :es of detonatlons of nuclear ex- picxsives in soviet territory.

"This series began in mldJop-

tembsr and has continued at inter?

vals to the present.

"Further announcement. concem- ing this series will he made only if some unusual development would appear to warrant it.

"As is generally the case with nuclear detonations. these tests have resulted in some widespread fall-out of radioactive material, but insignificantly in the United States."

Tariff Board Decision May Have Some Impact On Retail Tire Prices

That would mean applying the tax levies further along the. dis- tribution line towards the con- sumer. which might increase the consumer price of "spec'lalbrand' tires.

OTIIII FACTOR! INVOLVED

Some reports have. suggested that because the board's case will deal with "special brands.” th: decision may also affect other things such as radios, television sets and refrigerators which a manufacturer may turn out for .1 big retail outlet and which would

hear the retailer's name amt trade-mark. However. the view among fed-

P.ral authorities is that there's a big difference between stamping an automobile fire with a special name. mark and tread. and simp- ly pinning a new name on a standard type of television set or stove.

In the case of the special brand tire. the pattern of the tread. trademark and name of the com- pany stamped distinctly into the rubber sharply defines it as a different make from that of other tires.

SALERNO (AP) -- The worst cloudbursts and landslides in mud- ern Italian history Tuesday bai- tered 10 miles of coastal hills on the Gulf of Salerno. killing 217 per- sons or more. Three hundred others were still missing Tuesday night.

The death count was compiled by military police on emergency rescue duty in the disaster area. Hundreds were injured and thou- sands of Italians living beside the usually temperate gulf were home-

less. Damage was estimated in millions of dollars. The cloudburst softened mud

holding together homes built of white volcanic rock and hundreds of them crumbled. In Salerno alone 5,000 were homeless. Two-foot walls of water surged down the moun- tains.

VILLAGES WIPED OUT

The elements destroyed the ham- lets of Marine de Vieira. Caneionl. Molina, Allesio and San Cesaruo. Six other villages were without food or water.

Boats cruised the gulf recovering bodies being swept into the Medit- erranean.

Salcrno's Vcrdl theatre was con- verted into a mortuary to which 87 bodies were taken for identifica- tion.

Sewer systems were destroyed. causing public health authorities to take emergency measures against spreading of disease. The lack of water. gas and electricity made the situation of the victims more dif- ficult.

SURVIVORS TIZRIZIFIED

Police had to hold back frantic relatives of the victims who sought to enter from the outside. There was a feeling of terror as hyster- ical survivors snughl. missing rel- atives. One mother fought with pa- lice who refused to let her search a mountaiside school where her two children disappeared.

Each time a sprinkle fell from the leadcn skies scores went to churches to pray. But they did not go to the old church of the Holy Annunciation on the outskirts of Salerno. It survived the Second World War but not Tuesday's de- luge.

The bridge between Ca'va Del Tirreni and Salerno collapsed when several trucks were moving across it, plunging them into a deep gully.

An avalanche of rain-loosened earth roared through the hamlet of Caneloni and demolished it.

But Charles Longpre, city clerk. said Tuesday that Mr. Drapeau and G6 elected councillors cannot be sworn in before next Tuesday.

The official counting of ballots marked in Monday's stormy elec- tion is expected to be completed by the end of today. Four days then must elapse to allow time for any possible demands for recounts or disqualiflcations.

Mr. Di-apcau's fame as a vice- buster stemmed from his work as co-prosecutor during the 3V2-year inquiry into vice conditions by Mr. Justice Francois Caron.

DEFIED COMMITTEE

Police chief Langlcis has ap- pealed the conviction. which or- dered his dismissal. and claimed the right to retain his post pending settlement of the appeal. He de- fied an ultimatum of the outgoing city executive committee to either resign or take an extended leave pending court action on his ap- peal.

Elizabeth was

warped into its North river pier. She chatted animatediy and waved at the crowd waiting on the pier below.

Thus she began her brief but busy North American visit with an air of informality in contrast to the full schedule of formal events that lie ahead until she sails for home Nov. 18. She will spend the last six,days of the visit in Ottawa. MET DIGNITABIES ,

The first formal part of the four came an hour and a half after her ship docked at 4:47 p. m. The Queen Mother came down to the verandah grill at the liner's stern. where a group of American and

Commonwealth dignitaries were presented to her. Following the presentation she

disembarkcd and was immediately driven tn Wave I-iill, home of Sir Picrson Dixon. permanent British delegate to the United Nations. and Lady Dixon, where the Queen Mother will stay while in New York. She left the liner at 6:35 p. m. and planned to rest at Wave Hill until today, when she attends a Canadian Club luncheon.

At the verandah grill ceremony John Simmpns. chief of protocol for the llnited States state depart- mcnt, greeted the Queen Mother on behalf of President Eisen- hnwcr.

The Queen Mother wore a slate grey gown and a silver fur stole. a velvet hat with pink feathers flllfl ll three-string pearl nccklau.

Italians Take Over Trieste

TRIESTE (AP)-Britain and that United States gave Trieste back to Italy Tuesday in a rowdy farewell, thrown into utter confusion by rain.i wind and wild celebration.

The weather washed out the formalities. but failed to daunt the Triestini. They surged about the city by the tens of thousands tul cheer the entry of Italian tronpsl, after nine years of British-Amerb can occupation. l

They provided an almost equally- tumultuous farewell for departing American troops. But the high wind that swept the northern Ad- riatic forced the Royal Navy's air- craft cart-ier Centaur to sail awayl ahead of schedule with departingi British troops. They left virtually unnoticed.
