Leaving Mrs. Eisenhower at
the White House, the Chief
Executive set out at 8:l5 am,
stopped of at his own country
home in Gettysburg, and then
proceeded to the nearby home
Of his son, Army Maj. John Eli

There he was surrounded by

In Electricity

The United States is still far
ahead Of the Soviet Union in
electric power production. but
the Russians could overtake us
in 1875 unless we speed up or
they slow down." a Senate sub
committee reported yesterday.
The subcommittee, which in
cludes Democratic Senators
Moss Of Utah, Gruening of
Alaska and Muskie of Maine,
accompanied by a group of ex-
perts. spent a month recently
inspecting Russian power prof.
ectS.
The Senators reported that
Russia, in pursuit of its "oft-
stated goal Of overtaking the
United States in economic pro-
duction. has undertaken literal
ly hundreds of new starts on
hydroelectric develop mentS
within the past five years"
They found that about 80 per
cent of Soviet power is pro-
duced by thermal plants and 20
per cent by hydro plants. In this
country, the subcommittee re-
ported. the relative contribu-
tion Of hydroelectric power to
total production has decreased
from 35 per cent in 1916 to 20
per cent now. The subcommit-
tee estimated the ratio would
drop to Is per cent by 1870.
The Senators found that
atomic power is not expected to
supply significant amounts of
power during the next few years
in either country.

de Gaulle impressed authorities

Mr.. Khrushchev countered
with either April 81 or May 4

said those would conflict with
allied commitments. Gen. de
Gaulle plans to visit the United

Cuba isn't yet a police state,
but the network of spies and

Boy Jailed Five Days
Let's look first at the case of
IA year old Armando Cruz
Gonzalez. His name was sup
piled by woman informer and
his address given as a certain
block In downtown Havana.
Armando was picked up at
home and tossed in our cell.
His protesting parents simply
were told Armand had been a
longtime members Of Batista'S s
Tigers.
I looked at our cellmate Ar
mando and wondered. He was
a scared, fuzzy checked IA
year-old.
For four days he was in our
cell. No charges. No attorney.
No visitors. And no questioning
by police.
Finally. on the fifth day, he
was released.
I'VE have been unable to find
your accuser," secret agents told
him simply.
Other Cases to Come
There are other, more fright
ening cases I'll discuss later.
But as I looked at Armando !
wondered - does Fidel himself
know how far his subordinates
have gone in carrying out his
every emotional whim?
1t did not make me bitter,
only disturbed that the men the
world had hoped could lead
Cuba from the tyranny Of Ba-
tista are feeding their revolu-

and distrust.
They are fires that are start

Underground nuclear tests
may be concealed much more
effectively than previously be-
lieved, American officials report.
Blasts larger than a mega
ton could be concealed from
the 180-station monitoring sys-
TEN proposed to inspect q
worldwide suspension Of nu-
clear weapons tests, according
to a newly developed American
theory. Previously it was
thought that 300 kilotons was
the limit on successfully con-
cealed blast.
A megaton is the equivalent
in explosive power of / million
tons Of INT; a kiloton is the
equivalent Of 1000 tons of INT.
Some scientists say it is theo-
retically possible to raise the
old 300-kiloton ceiling by 10
times.
The new thinking applies also
to the size Of the underground
cavity needed under the So
called "big-hole theory" of test
concealment.
Huge Test Cavity Needed
According to earlier calcu-
lationS, a spherical cavity with
a diameter of $50 feet would
be necessary to hide a 300
kiloton blast-l5 times the ex-
plosive power Of the Hiroshima
A-bomb.
Such a cavity could house
the Washington Monument,
standing either upright or on
its side.
The cost Of constructing such
a cavity thousands of feet
underground. as would be
necessary, would run into the
hundreds of millions of dollars
and raise great engineering
problems.
The new theory seems to in
dicate that a hole only 100 to
220 feet in diameter would bC
sufficient to muffle a 300-kilo-
ton blast.

test moratorium.
Big-HOle Theory Supported
Two types Of improvements
are responsible for the new esti-
mates Of effectiveness Of the
big-hole theory.
American scientists now pro-
pose to introduce heat absorb
ing materials into the big un-
derground cavities to divert the
energy of the blast into nom
pressure forms such as melting
and vaporization.
One method would be to in
troduce foils into the cavity;
another suggests using carbon.
Rand Corp, a private re-
search firm here, released last
week a 9-month-old report in
dicating nuclear shots of 300
kilotonS and more could theor-
etically be made to look like one
kiloton on seismic instruments.
They then would OF be

kiloton size that occur each
year unless there were on-the-
spot inspections Of each event.
The investigation Of thousands
Of all suspicious earth tremors
is not considered practical
either by American or Soviet
scientists.
Possibilities for Cheating
The United States and the
United Kingdom are now con-
Quoting experiments with con-
ventional explosives to test the
big-hole theory. These expert
mentS are expected to end in
the next few months. The first
American tests we're conducted
recently in salt mines in Lou
isiana.
The new data on possibilities
for cheating on the long-sought
nuclear-test moratorium has
increased pressure within the
administration for a phased
test ban, confined in the first
stage to prohibition of atmos-
pheric and underwater testing
only.
This would allow under
ground testing to be resumed
The United States unilateral
moratorium on tests expires
Thursday after IA months.
In a letter to Soviet Premier
Khrushchev last April 13, Presi-
dent Eisenhower proposed a
f1rst-step suspension which
would not include underground
and high altitude testing.
Doubts are growing that the
Senate would ratify any treaty
calling for a comprehensive bar

cealment appears to be so far
ahead of the science of detec.

would ratify a comprehensive
test ban treaty unless they
were fully satisfied that the
prospects to cheat were vastly
reduced. He is chairman OF
the Joint Atomic Energy Com
mittee.
Both the Soviet Union and
the United States are now be-
lieved to have stockpiled most
OF the megaton-range weapons
they need and are reportedly
concentrating on small weap-
ons in the low kiloton and sub
kiloton range.
Smaller weapons would re-
quire smaller cavities to con-
ceal them and thus reduce some
Of the engineering and cost
problems.
Rand Corporation reports,
for instance, that natural
cavities suitable for testing
one-kiloton weapons exist all
over the world.
The new improvements in
the big-hole system apparently
would allow for testing 3, 4 or
even 10-kiloton shots in these
natural cavernS.

Snag on Date
Seen Delaying
Summit Talks
By the Associated Press

~-~~~N@-NN~
Further delay In opening q
springtime summit conference
was foreseen yesterday by
American officials seeking a
new date acceptable to Soviet
Premier Khrushchev.
The summit timing problem
is one of two urgent issues
President Eisenhower is ex-
pected to discuss Monday with
Secretary of State Herter.
If decisions cannot be
reached by telephone consulta-
ton, Mr.. Herter may make a
flying visit to Augusta, Ca,
Tuesday or Wednesday. Mr..
Eisenhower will fly to the Geor-
gia golflng resort today for a
weeks rest.
The other major problem
now awaiting top level United
States action is expiration Of
the IA months old ban on nu-
clear weapons testing. The sus-
pension is set to expire next
Thursday midnight.
Extension Bar Certain
High administration officials
said today they are certain Mr.
Eisenhower will order an ex-
tension into 1860 but that a
final decision has not been
made. In particular, the form
of any announcement and the
duration of the extension are
considered important. Tenta-
lively however. Mr.. Eisenhower
is expected to:
/. Order the moratorium
continued indefinitely. No new
deadline would be fixed. This
would keep the way open for
resumption of testing any time
Mr.. Eisenhower considered this
necessary to United States Sc
curity.
2. Put Russia on notice again
that, in negotiations at Geneva,
steady progress toward an in
lt"rnational inspection system
will be required to keep the
ban in effect.
The effect Of these steps
would be to continue the mora
toriurn from week to week with
the Geneva negotiations under
constant review. The big issue
among the United States, Brit
ain and Russia at Geneva.
Ever since the negotiations
started IA months ago. has
been to get agreement on an
inspection system that would
discourage cheating on a test
ban treaty.
