The United States is care
fully assessing the current
series Of nuclear tests being
conducted by the Soviet Union.
I do not have to dwell on the
irresponsible nature of these
Soviet actions. The Soviet
Union has shown its complete
disregard for the welfare of
mankind, first, by breaking off
the nuclear test cessation nego-
tiationS at Geneva, which had
been under way since October
81, 1858, and second, by con-
temptuously exploding in the
atmosphere a large number Of
nuclear weapons ranging into
many megatons, including a
device which, by their own ad-
mission, exceeded so megatons.
I do not suggest that we can
dismiss these Soviet nuclear
tests as mere bluff and bluster.
To a certain extent this does
enter into the Soviet campaign
of fear, but these tests are, no
doubt, of Importance to Soviet
leaders and scientists in de-
veloping and improving nuclear
weapons.
This much can be said with
certainty now:
/. In terms of total military
strength, the United States
would not trade places with any
nation on earth. We have
taken major steps in the past
year to maintain our lead-and
we do not propose to lose it.
2. The United States does not
find it necessary to explode SO
megaton nuclear devices to con-
firm that we have many times
more nuclear power than any
sneak attack and thus enable us
to devastate any nation which
initiates a nuclear attack on
the United States or rs Allies.
1t is essential to the defense of
the Free World that we main
tain this relative position.
In view of the Soviet action,
1t will be the policy of the
United States to proceed in de-
veloping nuclear weapons to
maintain this superior capabil-
ity for the defense of the Free
World against any aggressor.
No nuclear test in the atmos-
phere will be undertaken, as the
Soviet Union has done, for So
called psychological or political
reasons. But should such tests
be deemed necessary to main
tain our responsibilities for free
World security, in the light of
our evaluation Of Soviet tests,
they will be undertaken only to
the degree that the orderly and
essential scientific development
Of new weapons has reached a

u. S. BUILDING
Destroyed
In Belize
BY the Associated Press

The State Department re-
ported today that the United
States consulate building in
British Honduras was destroyed
by a tidal wave during the hur-
'ricane that hit that country.
The building was a wood
frame structure less than so
yards from shore in the port
city of Belize.
The department said Consul
Richard Geppert. Vice Consul
Richard Conroy and their
families survived Hurricane
Hattie without injury.
lockwood Foster, West Indies
desk officer in the State De-
partment. said the temporary
consulate has been established
at Mr.. Conroy's home.
Mr.. Foster said he had re-
.ceived a message from Mr.. Con-
roy reporting that Mr.. Geppert
was stranded in the village of
El Cayo where several thousand
refugees took shelter from the
storm.
Mr.. Geppert had contacted
Washington yesterday through
a Guatemalan ham radio opera
tor.
Mr.. Foster said communlca-
tions with Belize were still pre-
carious and that no information
had been received on casual
ties, If any, among United
States citizens. He said there
were about 200 United States
nationals in British Honduras,
including about 100 Roman
Catholic missionaries.

However, he said. there has
been no compromise on radia-
ton shielding.
Il don't believe this office
will recommend that any build
ing be marked as a shelter un-
less it reduces outside radia-
ton at least 100 times"
The training survey being
conducted here now is designed
to find shelter areas in exist
ing buildings that can reduce
radiation 20 times or more.
However. this is designed
only to give civil defense Off
cials something to start with.
Congress will be asked to pro-
vide funds later to increase the
Shielding effectiveness Of some
buildings. if a sufficient num-
Der of adequate shelter areas is
not found in existing buildings.
