These permits would be granted in rotation as are the Sunday opening permits. The proposal was offered as a compromise on.the by-law to satisfy the convenience of the customers during the summer months and to satisfy those operators in the an- nexed areas which are dissatisfied with the present by-law. The pro- posal was accepted by the majority of those opposed to the present by- law who were present at the meet- ing last night. City council declined action on a petition presented by these dis- senters at the council meeting two weeks ago when conflicting delega- tions from the satisfied dealers and the dissenters were present.

Provision also will be made for continued assistance to the blind, he said. Including Means Test He made it plain that, for those between 65 and 70, the federal gov- ernment will propose a pensions --that scheme on a means-test basis --that is, that they would be paid only to the needy. He called the plan "a modified program of ds- sistance." Under the federal plan, Mr. Mar- tin said, pensions would be oper- ated on a "universal pay-as-you-go' | basis for those over 70. The federal government would { make a contribution from gen- eral revenues equal to that made under the existing pen- sions scheme.

Dr. Eugene Rabinowzuf, editor of the bulletin of the atomic sciene tists, said spying may have advane ced the Soviet atomic weapons proe gram by at least 18 months. But the biggest factor in the Ae bomb race, he said, might well be whether uranium supplies available to Russia are equal to those availe able to the United States and Cane ada. He added: "From this point of view, the most fateful step which has pere mitted the Soviet Union to achieve its present atomic strength was not the betrayal of our secrets , .. but the decision of American political and military leaders in 1945 to give to the Soviet Union control over the parts of Czechoslovakia and Germany in which important urane ium ore deposits were known to ex= ist."
