has been some speculation that
the American response will in
volve a cessation of tests after
the scheduled Pacific tests have
been completed.
AS to the question Of whether
Russia might be able to conceal
tests carried on deep in her great
land mass. Mr.. Gromyko had this
to say in his Tuesday speech:
"All contentious about the al
legged impossibility Of detecting
nuclear tests are :. fully dis
proved by practice and expert
opinion both in the Soviet Union
and United States"
DR.. Willard F. Libby, an Atomic
Energy Commission member, con-
coded that a workable detection
system could be set UP. Il do be-
lieve that though it's an extremely
difficult Job. it probably can be
managed to such degree as to be
adequate" he said.
But Prime Minister Macmillan.

ter of disagreement among the
experts.
The leading spokesman for the
scientists urging a halt to nuclear
tests is DR.. Linus Pauling. Nobel
Prize chemist from the California
Institute of Technology. DR.. Paul
ing has submitted to the United
Nations a petition bearing the
names of 5000 scientists from 43
countries pleading for a ban on
further nuclear weapons tests as
the first step in international dis
armament.
On "a Nationwide television
show just a week ago-and on the
eve of the Russian announcement
he warned that radioactive fall
out from tests so far might mean
death 10 to Is years ahead Of time
for about one million persons from
leukemia and other diseases. FRI
day. he led group of IA scien-
fists who filed a suit in Federal
District Court seeking an order
hating nuclear tests. The group
plans to file similar suits in Great
Britain and the Soviet Union. The
court action admittedly is an eff
fort to dramatic the groups eff.

on nuclear tests.
An equally impressive group Of
scientists and officials has been
telling the world there is no dan

In answering Mr.. Stevenson in
1856. President Eisenhower said:

Of H-bomb testing-by the most
sober and responsible scientific

Awaiting Upswing

The President apparently is still
counting on an upswing in mid
year, although independent econo-
mists are predicting that the
economy will not be out of deep
water before fall at the earliest
and possibly not before the end
Of the year.
The figures that came in last
week provided little solace. IN
employment, which should have
shown a seasonal Improvement in
March. obviously was up again.
although final figures from the
Departments Of Labor and Com
inerce will not be available until
later this week. A sensitive indi-
Gator of current business condi-
tions-the number Of workers
seeking jobless benefit claims
rose in late March after two
weeks of declines.
These figures point to q total
unemployment figure for March
Of 5.4 million to 5.6 million. The
more conservative figure would
represent a 100000 rise in month
when unemployment, under
normal conditions, would decrease
by 100000.
The Federal Reserve Board re-
ported that consumers reduced
their installment debt by $436
million in February, hating "an
upward trend that has prevailed
since late 1884" It was expected
that when the figures for March
are determined, q further reduce
ton will be shown.

the Senate. The Soviet Union

session." he said. Surely now
We know that these. weapons are
literally useless"
Senator Morse, Democrat Of
Oregon, gloomily declared: Now
we are faced with the prospect
OF continuing nuclear tests alone,
in defiance Of world opinion.
This is another sad example of
the failure /. to understand and
to take into account the views
Of millions and millions of people
who simply dread all nuclear ex-
ploSions."
AS the week ended, there were
strong indications that the United
States would soon come forward
with its response to the Russian
move. Repeatedly, the question
will come up for decision at this
weeks meeting of the National
Security Council. the country's
top strategy body. (See story by

Although the United States had
been forewarned that the Soviet
Union might make such an an
nouncement. the Russian proposal
struck like a thunderclap. It was
hailed as a propaganda coup rival

reaction was one Of distrust and

Russia Acts

The Russians last week picked
up the issue in q way that cleo
trified the world. In an address
to the Supreme Soviet on Mon
day, Foreign Minister Adrei Gro
myko announced "the cessation OF
tests of all forms Of atomic and
hydrogen weapons in the Soviet
Union" He noted that 'if other
powers possessing atomic and hy-
drogen weapons continue tests
!. the USSR will be free to act
in the question Of carrying out Of
atomic and hydrogen tests. :"
Friday. Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev exploited further the
propaganda potential Of the Rus
sian announcement. In q Buda-
pest speech he urged President
Eisenhower and Britain's Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan to
prove their good intentions" by
joining the Soviet test ban.
Mr.. Khfushchev said he was
willing TO accept international
inspection II it would induce the
United States and Britain to halt
H-bomb explosions. He did not
elaborate on the form or manner
Of the inspection.
Saturday, Mr.. KruShchev re-
portedly sent q direct challenge
to President Eisenhower. Mos
COW Radio announced the Soviet
leader. In his first message TO
the United States, called on the
President to join Russia in the
test ban. Pressing the issue, the
Russian broadcaster invited the
United States to unite itself
with the initiative Of the USSR."
Russia's announcement swelled
the ranks Of peace demonstrators
In New York and London. A

with a few Philadelphia pacifists
a week ago had increased to TOO

Even before the hydrogen
bomb moved from tantalizing
theory to frightening fact. efforts
were made to prevent the tests
necessary to spawn and develop
It.
In the fan of 1852 a group Of
scientists urged the Truman adj
ministration to postpone the
scheduled FIRST H-bomb test and
attempt to negotiate an agree
ment which would prevent a
nuclear arms race. DR.. Vannevar
Bush, an eminent scientist and
former chairman Of the Armed
Services Research and Develop
ment Board, repeatedly visited
Secretary Of State Dean Acheson
in early october 1852 to present
that point Of view.
The argument was that it
would be easier to negotiate
against q hydrogen bomb race
before a test than afterwards.
that q successful H-hoHnb explo-
sion could only bring desperate
efforts to. develop the weapon in
other countries. d
That argument was rejected
and the United States exploded
its first H-homb late in 1852
(there may have been an earlier
explosion Of q hydrogen "device').
The Russians followed suit in
August, 1858. England has since
conducted several similar tests
and France has indicated that
she hopes to become the fourth
H-bomb power by midsummer.
In the meantime. the test ban
idea has been revived repeatedly.
only to anguish again. It be-
came Q burning political issue IN
this country's 1856 presidential
campaign when Adlai Stevenson
proposed In q Chicago speech that
the United States take the lead
in hating tests Of large nuclear
weapons.
"The issue is mankind's sur
vival," Mr.. Stevenson said. the
testing of an H-bomb can be
quickly detected b. titl requires
no inspection. II any country
broke its pledge. we would know
it and could promptly resume our
own testing"
A few days later President Eli
senhower rejected Mr.. Stevenson's
proposal. I'VE simply refuse to do
it alone" he said Weakness

The next attempt came early
In 1857 when the United States,

capturing the campaign issues
which stem from the recession.
Mr.. Eisenhower and Capitol Hill
Republicans last week undertook
countermeasures. The President,
at his news conference, warned
against acting too hastily against
the recession, and said. in effect,
that 1t must not be forgotten that
the cure could be worse than the
disease.
