Mr.. Dulles devoted the bulk of
his speech to the Importance of
exploding the Communist myth"
portraying the Communist sys-

1t should be possible to show
up the hoax before the world, he
said, because "the facts are all

"The Russian worker" he said,
sis the most underpaid, over
worked person in any modern in
dustrial state. He is the most
managed, checked, spied on, and
unrepresented worker in the
world today"
He cited several comparative
figures to show that prices are
so high in Moscow-the capital
and ShoWplace of communism
that most workers can pay only
for bare existence. Some ex-

"a real brain -stuffing opera

He said the press and radio
and other propaganda vehicles
are used to foster the belief that
living conditions in Russia are
much better than those in the
United States. He added that
the Poles were told that in 20
years the standard of living in
their country will rise to that
of Russia.
Actually, DR.. Korowicz said.
the standard of living in Poland
is 20 times below that in the

Even Small Nations
May Get H-Bombs,
Writer SpecuIates
BY the Assoeiased Press

BALTIMORE, Sept. 24.-The
Baltimore Sun speculated today
that the hydrogen bomb is be-
coming easier and cheaper to
make than the much less power
full atom bomb and that even
tually small nations can make
their own H-bombs at relatively
little expense.
The conclusions were drawn
in a front-page dispatch by
Mark Watson, Sunpapers mill
tary correspondent, writing from
Washington. He said they were
"conjectures toward which an
observer is practically driven by
such non-secret facts as are
stated readily enough by atomic
energy authorities in answer to
questions"
He predicted they would be
made official.by public announce
ment from President Eisenhower
in early October as part of a ma
tional policy decision.
H-Bombs for Everybody.
Mr.. Watson said talks with
atomic energy experts had led
him to believe that:
l. The hydrogen bomb is en-
tirely practicable.
2. 1t is more powerful than
originally believed, since from
the total energy released higher
per cent of it "can be utilized in
the explosion itself rather than
being harmlessly dissipated."
3. Hydrogen fusion, which in
1941 was thought to be much
more difficult than uranium fis-
sion (in the A-bomb), actually
is far easier.
4. "That. amazingly, it also
promises to be cheaper-so much
cheaper that a relatively small
nation, starting from scratch
but endowed with the knowledge
and experience gained by Ameri-
can and European scientists and
technologists, might' be able to
achieve an H-bomb in a few
years and without the expendi-
ture of such billions as we have
expended"
Trigger" May Not be Needed =
Mr.. Watson said an early
theory on the H-bomb was that
stupendous heat (as much as l
million degrees Farenheit) would
be necessary for fusing hydrogen
to make the explosion. There
for, he added, it was thought an
atomic bomb would be necessary
to use as a trigger" for the hy-
drogen bomb. producing enough
heat to unleash it's explosive
power.
Recent chronological develop
ments may have changed this
concept, Mr.. Watson believes.
Now, he says, speculation is
rife on whether in fact the hy-
drogen bomb does require the
trigger" II
For if it does not" he con-
tinues, "the cost Of the H-bomb
drops. And it presumably could
drop not only by excluding the
cost of the expensive trigger, ,
but because main component
Of the H-bomb, hydrogen, is as
plentiful and about as cheap as
air"
These recent astonishing de-
velopments," Mr.. Watson said,
are forcing new defense policy
considerations and convincing
the White House as well as Pen
tagon and Atomic Energy Com
mission officials that much
more about nuclear weapons
must soon be made known to
