 Tn the course of the last few months the press and radio deaf ened the Americans with reports that atom bombs would destroy all 73 of the ships Gin the test) create a tidal wave, etc.
 News headlines July that two small ships were destroyed was blow to the readers"
 Says Navy Holds Secrets
 Isakov, however, while noting that the results of the test as re- ported were more modest than had been expected suggested that the American Navy was holding back facts on the Bikini experiment.
 This, he said, seemed likely 'in view of the secrecy surrounding it." He discounted the reports of small damage and said that more import ant results may have been obtained in view of the secrecy surrounding the tests
 The test confirmed that atomic arms possess hugh destructive pow CT, he said. However, the results were more moderate than the Am erlcan press had been forecasting.
 Tt is characteristic that the Blk lni experiment coincided with the beginning of dscussion of various proposals by the United Nations Commission for the control of atomic energy. The explosion of the atom bomb on the morning of July was a peculiar accompani- ment to the discussions in the Commission.
 Recalls Senate Action
 one must consider in the light of all this the decision of the House Military Affairs Committee which has proposed to include in the atomic control proposal which was accepted by the Senate very nota- ole condition. It states that the armed forces of the United States may produce or appropriate any equipment or instruments which re- qulre materials for splitting the atom or atomic energy as military arament"
 He said this proposal would legalize the preservation of atomic bombs as American weapons.
 This decision of the House com mlttee as well as the explosion over Blklni lagoon is an eloquent com ment on the American plan for atomic control made by Bernard Baruch," Isakov wrote
 The Baruch plan, he asserted, is an attempt to consolidate the American monopoly in production of atomic armamentS for an in- definite period" while forbidding other nations to study atomic en- ergy
 Asks Why Tests Were Held
 He demanded to know why the Biklnl tests were necessary if tht United States seriously planned tC renounce atomic weapons and Spe- officially attacked the Baruch atom plan for its effort to eliminate tht great power vetoe which he saie would undermirA .'the principle upon which the United Nations res the rule of unanimity of the grea powers in the Security Council.
 The atom bomb comment com. prised the second attack by tn, Moscow radio on the United State within few hours. The Russian! have engaged in a series of cri ticism of mounting intensity agains America recently.
 Early today Soviet broadcas accused Gen. John c. H. Lee O abandoning even the elementar, sense of decency" in speech quot ed as comparing Russia in a de rogatory way with the America and Britain.
 Lee, U. s. commander in th Mediterranean Theater, was accused by the Soviet government newspa per Izvestia of trying to sell out dated racial goods" The radi, said the attempt was made in ; speech at ceremony given in hi honor at Bristol, England, June 2 when Lee received an honorary de gree of doctor of laws there.
 Does Not Mince Words
 For the British port of Bristol once famous for its slave traffic We hear the rank voice of the lates apologist for Anglo-Saxon theory, the radio said.
 Lee, it said, appealed to tn British and Americans ito b patient in their relations with Rus sia, inasmuch as the Russians ar as much as 100 years and more be hind the Anglo-Saxons among re spected civilized countries
 The radio said Lee referred t Russians as some tribe in nee of the civilizing influence of tn Anglo-Saxon countries" and eX pressed belief that they achieve, their greatest successes with Ameri can machines.
 Lee was accused of using "th language of the late Goebbels," Naz propaganda minister, in callin American diplomats missionaries to Russia, as if the Americans wer "a notorious expedition of whit conquerors in the African jungle' where they appeared with glas beads in one hand and gun i the other"
 We do not know what set tn generals tongue wagging when h tried to sell these outdated racia goods, but obviously even the Gle mentary sense of decency abandone I I,S,
