Atomic Blast
Set0ff by Reds
BY the Associated Press

The Atomic Energy Commits
sion announced last night a
sixth atomic explosion by Soviet
Russia in the last eight months.
A Russian test series. which
included one large hydrogen
blast, got under way last sum-
mer. Three smaller explosions
were detected in August and two
more have been reported by the
Acc this spring,
There was no word from the
Acc on the size of the latest
blast.
The announcement followed
by few hours word from the
Acc that small group of news
men and civil defense officials
will be permitted to observe a
United States nuclear test at
the Pacific proving grounds at
Eniwetok about May l. The Acc
spoke Of it as a 'megaton range
nuclear defamation" A megaton
is the equivalent of a million
tons of TINT.
The United States set of a
hydrogen explosion at Eniwetok
in March 1854, with a force re-
portedly equivalent to IA mil
lion tons or more of TINT. BY
comparison, the Hiroshima atom
&c bomb yielded the equivalent
of 10000 tons of the convention
al explosive.
Last week the Kremlin sub
mitted a new disarmament plan
to a United Nations subcommit-
tee meeting IN London. One of
its provisions was a prompt ban
on atomic tests. The United
States has rejected similar Rus
sian proposals in the past, hold
ing such experiments are neces-
sary so long as the threat of
war hangs over the world.
The May Eniwetok tests will
permit newsmen and photogra-
pliers to witness for the first
time an H-bomb explosion.

That Farm Belt members oil

ingly aware of the pressure;
being built up back home was
pointed up strongly last week
in the House and Senate votes
on the farm bill.
At the last session of Congress
the House barely passed legisla-
ton to restore 80 per cent sup
ports for basic crops for two
years. Last week the omnibus
bill. with a one-year limit of 90
per cent supports and other

months ago beat 80 per cent

In the House, 48 Republicans

rock-ribbed Republican Dakotas,
Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas.
