Soviet Declared
Ready 10 Halt
Nuc|ear Tests

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y, Oct.
10 R.-Soviet Delegate Arkady
A. Sobolev says the Soviet Union
is ready to agree with the United
States and Britain on an imme-
diate, unconditional halt to test
explosions Of nuclear weapons.
Mr.. Sobolev made the state
ment to a reporter yesterday in
answer to a question on Russia's
current stand on the question Of
test explosions.
He said nothing about the po-
litical controversy between Adlai
stevenson. Democratic presiden-
tial nominee, who has proposed
negotiating a halt on H-bomb
tests, and President Eisenhower,
Republican nominee, who has re-
ljected Mr.. Stevenson's ideas.
The United States position in
United Nations disarmament
talks is that any ban on test
blasts must be part of a compre-
hensive disarmament plan with
adequate controls and safeguards
might Be First Step"
1.-THE Soviet Union is ready to
enter now into an agreement
with the other powers for an
Immediate halt to the test explo-
Sions Of nuclear weapons without
conditions" Mr.. Sobolev said.
"We believe this might be the
first step toward a system of dis
armament and eventual prohibit
ton of the nuclear weapons"
Mr.. Stevenson has mentioned
only the hydrogen bomb in his
speeches calling for a halt to
test explosions. But Mr.. Sobolev
said the Russian position applies
to all nuclear weapons.
Mr.. Stevenson has made the
point that: 1.-THE testing of an
H-bomb anywhere can be quickly
detected. You can't hide the
Explosion any more than you
Ican hide an earthquake. If
another power conducts further
(H-bomb) tests we would know
lit and would have no choice
but to resume such tests our
selves" He also called H-bomb
Ifallout "tne most dreadful
poison in the world"
Proposed for Two Years
Mr.. Sobolev said the Soviet
Union at first proposed that the
ban on test explosions should
be part of a disarmament
agreement but that in the last
two years the Soviet Union has
eliminated its suggestion of any
condition.
He and Soviet Deputy Foreign
Minister Andrew Y. Gromyko
reiterated their willingness to
agree on an immediate stoppage
of nuclear test explosions dur
ling a meeting of the U. N. Dis
Armament Commission last sum-
inner.

hailed the proposal for trying
to end H-bomb tests.
In addition to those varied
views voiced in various parts of
the country last night, a former
medical research chief for the
Atomic Energy Commission and
a ranking scientist at the Uni
versity of Notre Dame differed
to some degree on the danger
of atomic fall out.
Disputes poison" Claim
DR.. Shields Warren, head of
the Acc biologyand medicine
division until mid-1952, stated
in a telegram given out by the
agency that nuclear tests have
produced only an insignificant"
amount of the strontium- 20
which Mr.. Stevenson described
as "a most dreadful poison" DR..
Warren now is scientific director
of the cancer research institute
of New England Deaconness
Hospital.
Declaring that some of Mr..
Stevenson's statement regarding
that substance in urging greater
efforts to end H-bomb tests
should be corrected" DR.. War
rem said:
TO permit us to fall behind
the Russians is disastrous: to
wait for the INTO catch up to us
is stupid"
Prof. Milton Burton, director
of the Notre Dame radiation
laboratory. sided to some extent
with Mr.. Stevenson's suggestions.
The minimum first step of
stopping atom bomb tests" he
said in South Bend. could limit
the hazards of radioactively in
duced cancers for present gen.
erations and avoid some UNI
known and horrible consequences
for the people of the future"
Earlier Warning Cited
Recalling that for IL years
scientists have been warning
about the danger OF atomic fall
out. Prof. Burton said. 1T is in
credible that a political cam
paign should bring this present
danger TO public consideration"
He said any violation of no
test agreement could be quickly
detected.
In the political field former
New York Gov. Dewey contended
that tests OF smaller hydrogen
weapons cannot always be de-
tected. He added that the
"trend is 70 experiment with
smaller ones"
He asserted in q CHS TV in
terview last night that Mr..
Stevenson made "dreadfully and
dangerously deceptive" state
