(Continued from Page i) any other reason than the one given.
 Asked if the international situa- ton had anything to do with the order. Ross said: T cannot go be- yond this statement. I have no reason to believe that 1t does"
 The White House announcement, issued nearly three hours after the United Press broke the news of the poStponement, said:
 "The President announced tonight that the atom bomb tests in the Pacific will be delayed about six weeks.
 "The postponement is prompted by the fact that a large number of congressman have expressed a de- sire to witness both these tests, but owing to the heavy legislative schedule would be prevented from doing SO if the tests were held on the dates originally fixed"
 Some 60 representatives and sen- ators had been planning to ate tend the BilSini tests. House Speak CT Sam Rayburn was said to have registered strong objection to their absence. But 1t was not explained why the congressman could be spared six weeks later and not in May.
 Questioned about the postpone ment, all Rayburn would say was I'm sure the President did what he thought was the wisest thing"
 Crowded Calendar
 Chairman Br!en McMahon, D., Connecticut, of the Senate Atomic Energy Committee, believed the postponement was attributed to the crowded Congressional legisla- tive calendar. Senators Thomas O., Hart, R., Connecticut, and Edwin c. Johnson, D., Colorado, doubted that the President was moved by international considerations.
 The White House order caught Army-Navy Task Force One, which has been working at high speed for months on the tests, completely by surprise.
 The Presidents decision was tel ephoned to Vice Admiral WHIP. Blandy, task force commander, at about p. m. yesterday. He was not certain as to what new date would be set for the tests.
 Several Congressman and some left wing and liberal groups have urged in the past that the atomic tests be called of altogether in or der to convince the world Of this countryS peaceful intentions.
 Asked if there were any poss!bil- ity that the postponement might turn into @ cancellation, Blandy said, mot from anything I know" He added that he would have some thing to say later in more detail, "
 Those who felt that the U.N.O. and the international situation were Q factor in Mir. Truman's de- ciSion pointed to Q number of re- cent developments.
 1. U. s. irsistance, over Rus sian objections, on early considera- ton by the council of the Soviet Iranian dispute over the con- tinued presence of Russian troops in Persia. This created tense tr- ternational atmosphere that seen1- ed to put JUNO. to a great test.
 2. The charge voiced by Moscow radio that the United States was engaged in atomic diplomacy"
 3. Premier Josef Stalin's afflr- nation yesterday of faith in JUNO. which might be viewed as in- viting . reciprocal gesture of some sort.
 1. A White House conference yes- terday between MT. Truman and Soviet Ambassador Andrei A. Gro- myko.
 Some sources believe the State Department had keenly favored a poStponement, but the department declined comment.

showing off our atomic muscles"
 Officially, the White House ats tributed the postponement to the fact that the date conflicted with the UNO and that many congress- men who wanted to attend the ,Bi- kini demonstration could not get away at this time.
 However, there were considerable indications that the postponement might eventually turn into Q cane cellation. By delaying the data to July the demonstration runs into a period of ordinarily bad weather which continues until Oc- tober. It seemed doubtful that the test actually would be run before, next autumn if ever. ~
