Bishop Calls Defeat
Better Than Bomb

MANCHESTER. England. June
l R1.-An English bishop called
today for remuneration Of the
hydrogen bomb, declaring its
use in war would be worse than
defeat.
DR.. William d. L. Greer, Bishop
Of Manchester, told the Man
chester diocesan conference:
'Russia's conventions arms
can overrun us. We must possess-
some ultimate sanction. But do
we intend to use it? Ought we
in any conceivable circumstances
use 1t? My answer is an UNI
hesitating no.
1T would be better to be de-
feated than to engage in H
bomb warfare, for when the last
bomb has exploded you have lost
what you were fighting for"
The bishop said he advocated
the immediate remuneration of
the H-bomb, paving the way for
abolition Of all nuclear weapons
and a gradual reduction Of con-
ventional arms.

Chang Accepts
Blame for Riots

TAIPEI. Formosa. June l up.
President Chang Kai-shek
took on his own shoulders today
the blame for anti-American
riots in Taipei. He said they

was the traditional Chinese ac-
ceptance Of blame at the top
when things 60 wrong.
II must openly admit that my
leadership has been at fault.
Gen. Chang said.
The generalissimo said he

Of resentment against United

Despite the riots. Gen. Chang
said, Nationalist China remains
q friend Of the United States.
He declared a firm stand must
be made against attempts to
endanger relations between the
two countries.
1.-THE only hope Of the Chinese
Communists to save themselves"
he said. "is to open a NEW battle
field for psychological warfare
right here in the center OF our

To-day I must make 1t clear
again to our people that In car

against communism and Russian
Imperialism we must stand on
the same side with the United
States, which is the leader Of
democratic nations, and that we
cannot permit any opposition to
this possibility from within or
without"
Gen. Chang said an under
standable sense Of indignation
over the sergeant's acquital got
out Of hand because those whose
duty 1t was TO maintain law and
order failed TO take proper pre-
cautionary measures at the
utset.

British Touch off
Second H-Bonnb
Jet Drops
Four-Ton
Missile
By RONALD THOMSON

Associated Press stan Correspondent
ABOARD Inns. ALERT, June
IA vicious burst Of sound and
fury reared high over the Gen.
trail Pacific yesterday as Britain
touched Oh the second and most
powerful hydrogen bomb blast
in its test series.
A four engine Jet Valiant
bomber, flying thousands Of feet
above sea level. dropped the 4
ton missile-eStimated to have
a destructive force equal to 5
million tons Of TNT-near NAL
den Atoll, 400 miles south Of
Christmas Island.
The blast was believed three
times as powerful as the first
explosion the British set on In
mid-May.
The cleaning white Jet, with
only 90 seconds to escape the
soaring fash, banked away at
900 miles per hour after dropping
the bomb.
Newsmen IS Miles Away
Newsmen and other observers
aboard this naval yacht IS miles
from the blast scene were eau
toned to keep their backs turned
to avoid risking their sight.
After 10 seconds the press
corps. clad in protective suits
and goggles, was given thel word
to face the awesome spectacle.
A huge f1reball, estimated at
more than a mile wide, lowered
in the sky, its center q writhing
turmoil Of bronze, scarlet and
intense white.
Within seconds the ftreball
Expanded into q binding RAIN
bow, then it appeared to retract,
and in moments the familiar
puffy cloud Of dazzling white
ness began forming.
1000 Prepare Operation.
For q full hour before the
blast, correspondents dressed in
I"goon suits" sweltered on the
Alert's quarter deck while. the
bomb-laden Jet headed toward
the test area from Christmas
Island 400 miles to the north.
Prior to the blast, Christmas
Island had been q beehive Of
activity as more than 1000
scientists and servicemen at the
operational headquarters made
final preparations for the test
biggest of the series called
Operation Grapple.
The British task force scien-
tific director. William Cook, pre-
dicted there would be mo
significant fallout activity from
the high air burst"
The fireball. he said, would
not touch the water, and the
remains Of the missile would
|condense into fine particles that
would be swept up into the
stratoSphere in the mushroom
cloud.
Slow Fallout Seen
These particles will take
from months to many years to
fall back to ground level" Mr..
Cook continued. This slow
fallout will not be concentrated
in any one area but will be
worldwide.
