LONDON, Mar. Is. Lord

"hideous reality" of the hydro
gen bomb makes necessary a
live-and-let-live understanding
between Russia and the West.
Addressing the House Of Lords
in a foreign affairs debate, Lord
Salisbury said 1T must be the
main purpose Of us and our al
lies, without in any way COM
promising our fundamental
principles, to try and find means
of recreating world which if
not homogeneous can live at
unity with ITSELF"
THAT was always important, F"
he added, land it has become a
thousand times more important
now that we know that the hy-
drogen bomb has been exploded
by the Americans and the Rus
SLAMS"
Lord Salisbury declared, there
lis no reason to- suppose that the
Russians are laundering after a
new war" He said they have

hands started to swell and he
began to itch. He added:
1--WE had washed the dust

we forgot that we had been reg

ropes and that they had not
been washed. The itch became
almost unbearable. and we be-

ribly painful.

British Press Critical
OF New Bikini Tests
BY The Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 25.-The La
borite Daily Herald asked the
United States today to put a
stop to further Bikini H-bomb
tests before it turns the Pacific
Ocean into "a source of peril. !"
The Pacific is not an American
lake." the Herald said in one
of its rare front-page editorials.
THE decision to risk widespread
contamination is not one for the
United States alone"
This was the papers comment
on the United States H-bomb
blast at Bikini March /, which
scattered harmful atomic dust
on American seamen and Jap
anese fishermen.
The influential independent
Manchester Guardian took a
similar line yesterday.
How great an area Of the
ocean will be contaminated and
how far may waters and fish
mover" Asked the Guardian. re-
ferring to bigger scale tests the
United States has scheduled for
April. Els it really wise to pro-
ceed with these experimental"

News Chronicle also counseled
caution, asking can the world
AFFORD the fantastic risks of trial
and error experiments with the

that several others remarked

"On the first night we were
unable to eat our supper. We
tried drinking some sake (rice
wine) to improve our appetites,
but our appetites would not i'm

pressed. Some of the crew grum-

U.S.. Plans More Nucieor Arms
As fashionable Material Rises

The Atomic Energy Commits
sion plans to speed up production
of atomic and hydrogen weapons
and has asked Congress for the
funds to do so.
This was revealed today with
the release of testimony by Acc
Chairman Lewis L. Strauss and
his aides before a House Appro-
priations subcommittee.
I'm fiscal year 1855 the rise in
costs will be sleeper than orig
tnally planned because Of the
extra work involved in meeting

sionable material at a rate "far
higher than we dared believe was
possible" and added that similar
success at the Savannah River.

, possible.

more money to conduct future

as the series now blasting the

Acc Wants 10 Locale
In Single Building 10
Make Secrets Safer

The Atomic Energy Commits
sion wants to occupy a single
administrative building instead
of three scattered structures
here to prevent security irregu-
laritieS and risks"
Chairman Lewis L. Strauss. in
testimony released today, asked
House Appropriations subcom-
mittee, to open the way for
rental of adequate quarters in
one structure outside the down.
town area of Washington. Acc
General Manager K. D. Nichols
estimated that construction of a
building and acquisition of land
would cost between $40 and $12
million. The commission. how
ever, did not request such action.
Noting that, the commission
now has Offices in a main build
ing and two temporary buildings
here, Mr.. Strauss said this is
undesirable for reasons other
than the additional expense.
THE necessary movement of
highly sensitive documents be-
tween buildings invites security
irregularities and risks" he ex-
planned. Il am not aware that
any security attractions are TAX
ing place. But no matter how
carefully the prescribed pro-
cedureS may be followed, a safer
arrangement would be to elimi-
nate the need for transmitting
classified information between
buildings.
"All the usual disadvantages
found in physically separated
Office quarters are enormously
aggravated by the security
problem. To avoid the incon-
veniences involved in commune
eating classified information be-
tween buildings, we fail to make
the most effective use of our
staff. While a great deal of
necessary business can be trans
acted between buildings by tele-
phone. the telephone is also an
invitation to security violations.
The security and wise direction
Of the atomic energy program
are too important to risk by per-
petuation of buiIt-in security
traps and inefficiency."
