ton condemning the Russians
for violating the Yalta agree
ments. The effort failed after
Democrats agreed to the wording
but Republicans. led by the late
Senator Robert A.. Taft of Ohio,
objected to it and pigeonholed
the proposal.
Chairman George of the For
eign Relations Committee said
that as far as he knows there
is no current effort to revive the
proposal beyond that made by
Senator Mccarthy in offering a
reputation resolution.
Senator George said he would
have to study the Yalta record
before he could express any
opinion on the wisdom Of acting
now.
Senator Mccarthy told the
Senate yesterday Republicans
had failed to live up to a 1852
platform pledge to repudiate
the Yalta agreements. He added
that he is not optimistic" about
G. o. P. chances in 1856 if we
come before the American peo-
pie with a series of broken CAM
paign promises"
The Wisconsin Senator blamed
Mr.. Eisenhower's brother Mil
ton and 'holdovers from the
Roosevelt regime" for swaying
the President from a policy
aimed at liberation" of the Iron
Curtain countries to one OF Co
existence" with communism.
II merely mention Milton Eli
senhower because he is typical
of the palace guard of New
Dealers which lead Ike around
without his knowing exactly
where they are taking him"
Senator Mccarthy said.
The White House had no COM
ment. Efforts to reach Milton
Eisenhower were unsuccessful.
President of Penn State Uni
versity, he has sometimes acted
as advisor to the President on
Latin American affairs.

British Prime Minister Church.
i'll took an extremely dim view of
the location of the 1945 Yalta
Conference. e.
The official record quotes MFR
Churchill as saying: eff we had
spent 10 years on research we
could not have found a worse
place in the world than Yalta.
I, It is good for typhus and
deadly lice which thrive in those
parts"
However, Mr.. Churchilps fears
proved unfounded.
In President Roosevelt's log of
his trip to Yalta, aides recorded
that medical officers of the
USS Catoctin have accomplished
a very effective job of de-bugging
at Yalta."

spring of 1945 there could be 6e-
veloped a nuclear fission bomb
which would be equivalent to
about 500 tons of TINT" (The
bombs finally perfected for the
first wartime use in Japan in
August, 1945. had an energy re-
lease equivalent to that of 10000
tons of TNTD
2. Trouble perfecting a trigger
device and the component parts
of the weapon prevented this.
3. Using a different triggering
method. the first trial bomb was
expected to produce energy
equalling 10000 tons Of TINT and
to be ready by August !. 1945.
The first bomb was tested at
Alamogordo, N. NJ, on July Is
The first combat bomb was drop
ped on Hiroshima on August s.
Gun Type" Trigger Used
For years after that. nuclear
physicists believed any atomic
bomb must have a minimum force
of 10000 tons because the "criti-
cal masses" of fashionable mate
rial could not be made to produce
an explosion when brought sud-
denly together. of less than that
explosive force. :
The trigger device used nSthe
first bombs and for number
thereafter was a gun type,
mentioned in the document made
public last night. This gadget
fired two spheres of fashionable
material together at high speed
producing instantly the contact
of the critical mass.
Gen. Groves wrote in his 1914
memorandum:
Our previous hopes that an
implosion (compression) type oil
bomb might be developed in the
late spring have now been dis
sipated by scientific difficulties
which we have not yet been able
to solve. The present effects OF
these difficulties are that more
material will be required and
that the material will be less
efficiently used. We should have
sufficient material for the first
implosion type bomb sometime
in the latter part Of July. This
bomb would have an effect which
would be equivalent to about SOC
tons of, INT"
Neutr0ns Restrained
The ''implosion" effect OF
which Gen. Groves wrote was q
casing about the core of the
bomb of material which would
reflect the neutrons released by
the beginning of chain reaction
and keep them contained within
the heart of the bomb for a frac-
ton of a second to build up the
reaction. Without the rejecting
device. or lens" many neutrons
escaped.
This implosion method re-
manned top official secret until
1851 (although there was some
public speculation on the theory
meanwhile). In that year, the
spy trial OF David Greenglass
produced public reference to the
imploSion method.
In recent years. nuclear ex-
plosions of as little as 1000 tons
energy have been produced.

The Yalta papers publication
disclosed that nuclear physicists
were working toward develop
ment of a "baby" atomic bomb
at the very outset.

veloped the first bombs, to Gen.

A little later Mr.. Churchill
referred to the Atlantic Charter
and said he had once sent an
Interpretation Of his about the
charter to Wendell Willkie. the
1910 Republican presidential
nominee, who died before the
Yalta conference.
Mr.. Roosevelt asked: "Was

ference.
The discussion involved wheth-
er France should be permitted
later to associate itself with the
declaration on liberated areas.
Stain said it would be better to
leave it to the Big Three.
Discuss U. N. Procedure
After Stain and Mr.. Roosevelt
had left the February 4 dinner,
Mr.. Churchill and Mr.. Eden with
the late Secretary of State Ed
ward R. Stettinius, jr., discussed
voting procedure in the Security
Council of the proposed United
Nations.
Mr.. Churchill said he inclined
to the Russian view that the pro-
cedure should preserve the unity
of the Big Three. apparently
meaning that they should hold
the real power of decision. Mr.,
Eden took vigorous exception"
according to Mr. Bohlen. on the
ground that neither the English
public nor small nations would
support such a principle. Soon
afterward Mr.. Churchill and Mr..
Eden left obviously in disagree
ment'' on a voting formula. /
The formula eventually worked
out vested decision on issues of
war and peace primarily in q
big five group including China
and France but provided for full
participation of six elected
smaller nations in the work OF
the Security of Council. Each
of the Big Five was given the
right of veto on major questions
Asked Secrecy on Germany. .
In a meeting on February
Roosevelt, Stain and Churchill
talked about ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
Germany. Mr.. Roosevelt said
the first paragraph of proposed
German surrender terms did not
mention Acknowledgement" nor
make the idea sufficiently clear
He said he tended to share
Stains view that it would be
better to include the word.
Churchill objected that you
don't want to tell them" because
it would make the Germans fight
harder. He said Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower was opposed to
telling them. Stain said the
terms should not be made public
until the time of surrender and
added bluntly, II want it agreed

put ACKNOWLEDGMENT into the sur

Mr.. Churchill said he would
agree to a study "of the ques-
ton of the best means of study

ment."
Stain said he would have no
objection to accepting some
formula which would make dis
memberment possible and 1t was
