SEARCH INTENSIFIES
IN FRENCH
ASSEMBLY LOBBIES
By Harold King
Paris, Jan. 19.
The new French National Assembly was officially inaugurated today but its real work will probably only start next Monday when special commissions will have validated the elections of at least half the members.
Meanwhile the unofficial search for the next government continued with increased intensity in the smoking rooms and lobbies of the Assembly building.

Health Hazards From A-Tests Are Insignificant
Evanston, Ill., Jan.-19.
Dr Willard Libby, a member of the United States Atomic Energy Commission, said today that world-wide health hazards from the present rate of nuclear weapons tests were "insignificant."
Dr Libby, in a speech at Northwestern Univer. sity here, was referring specifically to the fall-out during a nuclear test of radioactive strontium, a chemical in the calcium family which is absorbed by humans through the bone structure and by plants and soil,
He said: "Direct fall-out col- lected on gumrned papers, milk
