PeaceabIe Peoples
Pleased by H-Bomb
News, Pravda Says
BY The Asseeiatsd Pres,

LONDON. Aug. lO.-Pravda
said today that "all peace-loving
peoples" were pleased to, hear
Soviet Premier Georgi M. Malen-
kov's claim by implication that
Russia has the hydrogen bomb.
The first reaction in Western
Europe to Malenkov's announce
ment Saturday was skeptical,
but with strong overtones Of
caution. IF. Russia's hydrogen
bomb Is more propaganda than
reality at this moment, it will
be reality soon enough" said
Lord Beaverbrook's conservative
London Sunday Express.
Malenkov in his speech to the
Supreme Soviet (parliament) did
not say specifically that the
Soviet Union has produced any
of the bombs. Neither did the
editorial in Pravda. Moscow's
Communist Party organ.
FrOIOun0 Error"
AS broadcast by Moscow Radio,
the editorial declared:
1.-THE aggressive circles whose
tactics Of atomic blackmail have
failed are now cherishing il
lusions that the United States
of America is allegedly the
monopolist of the hydrogen
bomb. Profound error.
"All peace-loving peoples have
received with great satisfaction
the Soviet governments state
ment to the supreme council
that the United States of
America is not the monopolist
of the production of the hydro
gen bomb"
Leading Western scientists
conceded that the Russians
probably knew, in general, how
TO make the H-bomb. but sew
eral experts expressed doubt that
the Soviets had enough highly
skilled personnel.
More Time Seen Needed.
Among these was Prof. Harrie
S. w. Massey, vice president Of
the British Atomic Scientists
Association, who said actual
manufacture of the weapon
should take longer for them
than what time they seem to
have already devoted to it."
Pro-CommuniSt Frederick Jo-
liot-Curie disputed this view,
however. The former chief of
Frances atomic project said he
was mot in the least astonished
that the Soviet Union has pierced
the secret Of the hydrogen
bomb"

Site Of Taft Cancer .
May Never Be Found
BY the ASsoeioted Press

The original site of the cancer
that killed Senator Taft, Repub-
lican, of Ohio may remain a
mystery.
This was learned today from
doctor who is completely ia
miliar with the medical history
of the case and who last week
disclosed the first details of what
was known at the time the Sem
ator died.
The doctor said then that a
poSt-mortem examination was
made of the Senator's body but
details were not available pend
ing the results Of detailed exami-
nation of tissue.
Today. the doctor said a par
tial poSt-mortem report concern
ing the gross" findings-that is,
those resulting fro mvisual ex-
amination-waS as follows:
disseminated cancer
mary site and type undeter-
mined"
The doctor added that micro
scopic examination of tissue still
was being conducted, but he
said:
II believe that If the original
cancer could not be identified on
the basis of the obvious findings
on gross examination, that it will
not be clarified by microscopic
examination of the tissues. This
latter has not been completed. s"

The next week or so could be
a tense watch-and-Wait period
for American officials scanning
the atmosphere for proof of Rus
sia's boast that it has the hydro
gen bomb.
This follows from the unof-
f1cial view of a well-knoWn atomic
scientist. DR.. Ralph Lapp, that:
/. Russia may actually have
done a small scale" test of
primitive H-bomb late last week
small scale insofar as the
hydrogen end Of it. but conceiv-
ably involving a triggering atomic
bomb 10 times as powerful as the
one dropped on Nagasaki.
2. BY DR.. Lapp's own estimate
it would take at least a week for
radio activity detection devices
to verify such an event. While
the United States has never said
how it detected the first Russian
atomic blast in 1949, DR.. Lapp
suggested Americas system for
testing the atmosphere for ra-
dioactivity from Nevada tests
probably has "global arms ex-
tending right up to the Iron
Curtain"
Russian Premier Georgi Ma
lenkov'S announcement to the
Soviet parliament Saturday that
the United States no longer has
the monopoly of the hydrogen
bomb" continued to set of re-
action throughout Z the free
world.
Most of it was on the skeptical
side, but there were many ex-
pressions that it could be true.
One effect Of Premier Malen-
kov's announcement was to jar
loose what seemed like conf1rma-
ton of speculation that the
United States has unlocked the
secret Of the H-bomb.
Representative Van Zandt, Re
publican of Pennsylvania, a
member Of the Joint Atomic
Energy Committee. in voicing
suspicion of the Russian claim,
said: why. we didn't know we
had one ourselves until last Oc-
tober when we exploded a HYDRO
gen device"
Representative Hinshaw. DEM
ocrat Of California, also a COM
mittee member, said: I'VE mas
tered production of the hydro
gen bomb and all other aspects
Of it a year ago, so it is not sur
prising that the Russians claim
to have developed it now"
Another member, Representa-
tive Durham, Democrat Of North
Carolina. said the committee
realized Russia's H-bomb poten-
tial long ago-"that is the rea-
son we worked so hard last year
to double this country's capacity
TO produce the hydrogen bomb"
Senator Anderson, Democrat
of New Mexico. also a member,
said he considered it a definite
possibility" that Russia has the
H-bomb. Representative Cole,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-08-10

about the H-bomb should not
allow the United States to lose
sight of the possibility Of large
scale A-bomb attack"
The scientist speculated that
Russia, as far as the H-bomb is
concerned. has just passed the
stage which he says he believes
the United States reached in the
spring of 1851 at Eniwetok.
DR.. Lapp offered no estimate
Of when the United States might
be in a position to produce H
bombs in quantity.
On a time-scale he theorized
for the Russians-312 years after
the first testing Of a hydrogen
device-he estimated the United
States could get into production
late next year.

Verifying of Red H-Bomb Story
ByU. S. Held Possible in Week

Republican of New York. COM
mittee chairman, said at his
home in Bath, N. Y: I'VE can
not gamble that it is not true"
Senator Duff. Republican,
Pennsylvania, who is not a mem
Der of the committee, said on
an NBC television show last
night he does not believe the
Russians have the H-bomb, but
1--WE know we have the bomb"
Senator Hickenlooper, Repub-
lican, Iowa, committee vice
chairman, said only that Amer
lea is far ahead of Russia or
any other nation in nuclear
development. but he cautioned:
Better overestimate their
strength rather than underesti-
mate it."
Test Possible Friday.
DR.. Lapp. who worked on the
original Manhattan project,
which produced the first A-bomb,
is now a private consultant on
atomic energy.
He told this reporter he be-
lieved Russia's H-bomb test, if
there was one, occurred last
week. possibly Friday, because
(A) Malenkov's speech was de-
scribed in dispatches as sur
prise" and CD the statements
by Mr.. Hinshaw and Mr.. Van
zandt seemed to imply this coun-
try had received no recent evil
dence Of hydrogen blast in
Russia. 1
DR.. Lapp said that if Russia
has developed an H-bomb, it
would not necessarily mean the
Soviets copied an American
version through the aid of es-
pionage." He said the field Of
thermonuclear research sis so
new and fruitful that Russia
may have uncorked a completely
new development which we may
have overlooked"
Basing his estimates on the
speed of shakespeare winds, DR..
Lapp said that steady westerly
winds might blow radioactive
particles out of Russia at a
speed of 500 miles or more a
day.
Thus. he said, it might take
four or five days for radioactive
evidence of an atomic explosion
to get outside Russia. It would
require at least four or five more
days, he said, to determine
whether the radioactivity was
caused by a device containing
hydrogen.
Even if Russia has success
fully passed the first stage of
testing in the H-bomb field,
there is no immediate danger to
the United States from such a
weapon" the scientist said.
1T would be around three
years before there was such a
danger, but. meanwhile, Russia
would also be increasing her
Stockpile of A-bombs which
would estimate might reach 1000
in three years.

Congress Gets Plea
To Alter Antiquated
Tobacco Tax Setup
By the Asseeiaiod Press

A tobacco industry spokesman
today pleaded with Congress to
do away with stamps and horse
and buggy era red tape" in the
collection Of tobacco taxes.
Robert Lee Boyd of Wheeling,
w. Va, told the House Ways and
Means Committee in a statement
that by bringing the tobacco tax
code up to date ''the Govern
ment (can save) millions of dol
lars each year in useless admin
istrative expenses and the
Government would not lose one
cent in tax revenues"
Mr.. Boyd, vice president of
Bloch Bros. Tobacco Co., said
tobacco tax laws are so anti
quated they provide for seizure
OF a tobacco peddler's mule wag-
on and pack but make no men
ton of automobiles or trucks.
He did not ask for a tax re-
duction, but denounced volumi-
nous book work, IS per cent Of
which he said was unnecessary.
and prepayment of the tax
through purchase of stamps be-
fore the tobacco left warehouses
for market. He suggested that
tobacco taxes be paid quarterly,
as in some other industries.
w. w. Marsh, executive secre-
tary of the National Association
of Independent Tire Dealers,
made a similar plea about pre-
payment of the excise tax on
tires and tubes.
Mr.. Marsh argued in a state
ment that automobiles, hence
tires and tubes. are an everyday
necessity and that the excise tax,
originally imposed on luxury
items, should be scrapped. Fail
ing that, he said, tire dealers
should not be required to pay
the tax on the tires before they
are sold.
He said about 10 per cent Of
a tire dealers working capital
is tied up in taxes because the
tax must be paid upon delivery
and the dealer does not get his
back until he makes a
sale.

one more landmark and prob
ably the most important to date
in the growth Of his authority.
It was Malenkov who spoke
on questions of Soviet foreign
policy and not Foreign Minister
Molotov, even though it is the
opinion of diplomats in Moscow
that Molotov's authority on
foreign policy matters stands
very high.
Malenk0v Speaks Alone.
When Malenkov spoke on the
tomb of Lenin and Stain in
Red Square at Stains funeral,
his address was followed with
speeches by Beria and Molotov.
These three speeches were pub
lished as a triad. and always
were cited together in the
months following.
When Malenkov spoke at the
Supreme Soviet meeting on
March Is in support of the gov
eminent policy and changes in
government personnel he was in
effect introduced by Beria.
Yesterday Malenkov spoke
without Stain sitting behind
him. spoke alone without any
fellow speakers of the same mag
nitude and spoke without the
need for any introduction.
One need not conclude that
Malenkov necessarily wants for
himself the same position which
Stain had and the idolization
which went with it. But among
his fellow leaders Of the party
and government. /. particularly
since yesterday. his is the voice
Of authority.

Mr.. Dulles visit was an ex-
ample of the kind Of urgent BUSH
ness which will keep the PreSi-

Gen. Eisenhower hoped to get

Sunday school as a girl.
Have Formal Agreements
They spent the rest of the day
taking it easy and visiting with
old friends at the home of Mrs.
Doud.
Before leaving South Korea,
Mr.. Dulles negotiated and ini-
tailed a United States-South
Korean mutual security pact. In
Hawaii, on the way back, the
Secretary declared that insofar
as peace in Korea is concerned
1--WE have a formal signed agree
ment."
He added that any new out
break in Korea would depend
on the Communists"
Mr.. Lodge said that what he
had observed in Korea makes
me believe that the armistice
will stick" He also said he was
much impressed with the fight

To Act on 10 Bills.
Gen. Eisenhower probably will
remain in Denver most of the
week, or until he has acted on
10 remaining bills sent to his
desk when Congress adjourned q
week ago.
Then he plans to strike out
for the Colorado Rockies for
some trout fishing. The first
stop probably will be the ranch
of an old friend. Aksel Nielsen at
Fraser, Colo, about 10 miles
northwest of Denver on the west
ern slope Of the Continental
Divide.
The President spent about 10
days there last summer after he
won the Republican presidential
nomination at the Chicago con-
vention. Later, Denver was his
campaign base for about six
weeks.
Large Crowd at Church.
Mr.. Hagerty said Gen. Eisen-
however probably will spend
some time at his Lowry Air Base
office each day he is in Denver,
then go out to Cherry Hills for
golf.
Bernard M. Stanley. the Pres
ident's special counsel. is ex-
pected here from Washington to-
morrow or Wednesday with

the area.
The congregation included
