New Appeal TO Russia
.Urqed Before Starting
On Hydrogen Bomb
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE New
York Times says President Tru-
man is being urged strongly by
administration officials to make
another attempt to reach an
atomic agreement with Russia be-
fore he decides whether to pro-
duce a hydrogen atomic bomb.
The hydrogen atomic bomb is
estimated to be 1000 times as
deadly as the original atomic
bomb.
The Times, in special dispatch
from Washington by James Res
ton, says David E. Lillienthal,
chairman of the Atomic Energy
Commission, is understood to be
among those who are arguing
that the United States must re-
open the international negotia-
tions for control of all weapons Of
mass destruction before it assumes
responsibility for producing the
new weapon.
Asked to Delay Resignation.
President Truman. who asked
Mr.. Lillienthal to delay his resig-
nation as head of the Atomic
Energy Commission to take part
in discussions about the hydro
gen bomb. is expected to make his
decision within the next two or
three weeks both about producing
the new. weapon and reopering
negotiations with the Russians,
the Times says.
At the Presidents direction, the
scientific, political and moral i'm
plieations Of producing a. hydro
.gen-atomic bomb are under ur-
gent study by the State and De-
fense Departments and the
Atomic Energy Commission.
Mr.. Lillienthal, the Times says.
Is known to have made his views
clear to those who are preparing
their recommendations land there
seems to be considerable support
for raising with Mr.. Truman these
two questions:
81. Before deciding to try to
produce a weapon theoretically
capable of destroying targets over
an area of so to 100 square miles,
should the United States not
make a new approach to Prime
Minister Stain, directly or
through the United Nations, in an
effort to negotiate an interna-
tional agreement for the control
of all weapons Of mass destruc-
ton?
One More Attempt Urged.
20. If the President is unwilling
to hold up the effort to produce
the hydrogen bomb pending a new
effort to reach an agreement with
the Russians, should he not at
least enter into negotiations with
them Immediately upon ordering
the super bomb to enter the pro-
duction stage?"
The Times says although there
are officials working on the prob
lem who oppose the hydrogen
bomb project on moral grounds
and others who argue the Gov.
ernment should proceed without
waste of time on new approaches
to the Russians, the trend is reli-
ably reported to be In favor Of .
recommendation that one more
attempt should be made to nego.
tiate q settlement.
