Soviet Rejects
Arms Plan
UNITED NATIONS, N. r,

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Nov. "a (P.Russia quickly
rejected today a compromise
proposal which France advanced
yesterday in the hope of break
ing the 10-year deadlock on
arms reductions.
Soviet Delegate Arkady A.
Sobolev told the United Nations
Disarmament Commission that
the French proposals only con-
firmed the Soviet view that the
Western powers have retreated
in recent months from their
earlier positions.
1T is clear" Mr.. Sobolev said,
that such an approach cannot
offer positive results"
Mr.. Sobolev also stressed pre-
vious Soviet assertions that
President Eisenhower's plan for
an exchange Of military blue
prints between the United States
and Russia--together with mu-
tual aerial inspection--was un-
acceptable to Russia unless 1t
were a part Of q general dis
armament system,
He acknowledged. however.
that the Soviet government did
not doubt that the Eisenhower
plan was INSPIRED by the best
of intentions.

He had been kept OF the world

10 year old government chief
looked as vigorous and hearty A.

Mr.. Adenauer confounded
everyone. including his three

one time it vas thought he
would need . long convaiescence
in q health resort. Some pre-

active leadership Of the West
German cabinet.
But the iron-willed old man
was restiVe at being kept from
the center Of political activity
and insisted on going back to
work as soon as his doctors
would let him.
The Chancellor's illness caused
widespread fears among West.

shadowed in the public eye
abroad by the deep concern fol
President Eisenhower following

The first confirmed Russian
H-bomb blast was reported by
the Acc in August. 1858. just
two weeks ago the commission
came out with its most recent
announcement previous to yes
terday'S-of a Russian nucleal
explosion which 1t said was part
of test series.
A worldwide detection system
which includes equipment like
an earthquake seismograph and
high altitude samplings of air
for traces of fission or fusion
products. enables the free world
to know within a short time
when Russia tests a nuclear de-
vice at her Central Asian prov
ing grounds. Presumably Russia
uses the same technique for
checking on American tests.
United States officials, among
them Secretary of Defense Will
son, have been saying they be-
lieve his country is "out ahead
of the Russians" in nuclear
weapons.
Canadian Doubts Advantage
After last nights Acc an
nouncement. DR.. 0. NJ. Solandt,
a senior Canadian defense scien-
tist. said in Ottawa he could not
interpret the Test blast as in
dicating Russia had gained any
atomic advantage over the West.
He termed the Soviet blast lust
another in a development series. !"
However, the Russians have
challenged Western claims to
atomic superiority. Last Feb
ruary the Moscow radio broad
cast a statement by 1t. Gen.
Sergei Shatilov, who, after stat
Ing Russia has plenty of con-
arms, added:
We also have in our country
atomic and hydrogen weapons
and their production. as is well
known, Is ahead Of that Of the
Americans"
Evening star., 1955-11-24

He said 1t was "in the range Of
negatons.
The Acc chairman didn't call
It q hydrogen explosion. but
only such a thermonuclear blast
could produce an energy yield
measured in megatons, or an ex-
plosive equivalent Of millions OF
tons of TINT. Less powerful
fission-type atomic bombs pro-
duce yields up to about 100 kilo-
tons-that is, the equivalent OF
100000 tons of TINT. The atomic
bomb that leveled Hiroshima 10
years ago was rated in strength
at 10000 tons of INT.
Intensive Effort Indicated
Mr.. Strauss statement left
open the question of whether the
newest Russian blast was smaller
or bigger than the greatest
American nuclear explosion on
March /, 1854, at Bikini atoll in
the Pacific. That test blast was
estimated unofficially to have
had the force Of between is and
II million tons Of TINT.
"The Russian tests indicate an
increasingly intensive effort by
the Soviet government to de-
velop their nuclear weapons
potential" Mr.. Strauss said
The announcement Of this
latest Soviet test came on the
heels of the Geneva conference
where Big Four Foreign Minis
ters failed to arrive at solutions
to East-West differences. despite
the outwardly friendlier rela-
tions generated by the summit
talks, also at Geneva, last July.
Part of Series
Despite an officially expressed
American hope that there Would
be no reversion to cold war
methods. this newest and most
powerful Soviet nuclear test
seemed to be a warning to the
West to take heed of Russia's
might.
