Relief on WAY
Cooler Weather
Seen Labor Day

Some faint hope of relief
from the current heat wave by
Monday was held out by the
Weather Bureau today, but it
still adds UP to a very hot and
humid Labor Day week end.
Temperatures 10 degrees
above normal are predicted for
today and tomorrow for the
semi-deserted Washington area.
Thousands of residents de-
parted by auto, train, plane and
bus for resort areas last night
and this morning to take ad-
vantage Of the three-day week
end.
The forecast for today was
practically a carbon copy of
the weather experienced here
yesterday: Sunny and hot with
the highest temperature in the
lower 90S. Yesterdays high
was 80 degrees at 4 pm. To-
night will be fair with the low
in the middle 70S. Tomorrow's
forecast is fair and continued
hot.
The Weather Bureau, how
ever, has detected a flow of
cooler air headed this way
which may begin arriving some
time Monday in the form of
clouds.
Meanwhile the main concern
of area officials was in holding
down the traffic toll. One man
was killed in the District last
night and another man was
killed this morning in Glen
Burnie, Md.
The National Safety Council
has predicted that 420 persons
may be killed over the Nation
in traffic accidents by mid
night Monday while the heav-
lest motor travel volume in lis
tory is under way.

headlights on today as they will

Mr.. Nkrumah put emphasis

No settlement of the great

possible unless colonialiSm is
eliminated, the African leader
declared.

Mr.. Nehru, lecturing the
delegates in English, said the
present world crisis is such that
colonialiSm is overshadowed.
He indicated he considered that
Germany and disarmament are
much more crucial. He received
thunderouS applause at the end
of his 55-minute speech.

"Of course we stand for anti
imperialism and anti-colonial-
ism and we continue to do so,
but the point arises that, at
this particular crisis, what will
we do?

speculated the Russians may
have exploded the device be-
fore or shortly after they an
nounced their intention to re-
sumo nuclear tests.
The blast, DR.. Lapp said
may have been a test of a
trigger or some other COM
ponent of a l or 2-megaton

He explained: With the
American U-2 (spy plane) &C
tivities already known. and the
SamoS (spy-in-th -the-sky) satel-
lite pending, the Russians are
no longer secure with their
huge liquid-fueled ICBMS.
Therefore, I believe the Rus
sian generals are now con-
vinced they will have to re-
place their large-yield ICBMS
with smaller ones. like our
Minuteman-but that they in
tend to arm them with super
warhead."
DR.. Lapp said he estimates
the warheads on Russia's big
liquid-fueled ICBMS range up
to eight megaton. He said he
believes the Russians feel these
big missiles are vulnerable to
surprise attack.
The American Minuteman is
a three-stage, solid fuel ICBM

To Lift Secrecy
On NucIeur Arms
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press Staff Writer


RusSia'S explosion Of q nu.
clear test device was expected
today to hasten a decision by
President Kennedy on resump.
ton Of United States nucleaI
weapons testing.
Well-informed officials now
consider it likely Mr.. Kennedy
will make a decision early next
week and that it will be to start
up United States testing again.
The last United States test ex-
plosions were held in the fall
of 1858.
1t was also learned that the
administration is considering
some modification of the secrecy
policy covering this country's
nuclear weapons arsenal. The
reason: To give the American
people and the world a better
idea Of the amount Of atomic
force available to the United
States for its own defense and
the defense of its allies.
Mr.. Kennedy said Thursday
after a meeting with cabinet
officials and congressional lead
ers, that this country's atomic
weapons systems were wholly
adequate" to deal with the
policy of atomic blackmail"
which he declared was now be.
ing practiced by Russia.
DeplOre "OverkiIl"
But some of the Presidents
advisers feel that the public,
here and abroad, should be
given better idea of the pro-
/ portions of American strength
and the military purposes for
which it is designed. Among
other objectives, they evidently
would like to dramatic and
make understandable what they
now call Russia's policy of
overkill."
That term was used by Am
bassador Arthur H. Dean in a
statement at the White House
Yesterday following a meeting
with the President. At the
meeting Mr.. Dean reported on
his fruitless negotiation with
Russian representatives at Ge-
neva on a nuclear weapons test
ban treaty. Referring to So
Wet Premier Khrushchev's
statements about development
OF a 100-megaton lluclear bomb.
Mr.. Dean said, the Soviet
policy Is the policy of over

From Military Source
The term comes from mill
tary sources and means the
destruction of human life be-
yond The limits of military
necessity.
One of the points which the

ened today as the Brazilian
Chamber Of Deputies gave over
whelming approval to a con-
stitutional amendment which
would install him with limited
powers. The measure now goes
to the Senate.
But signs emerged of a split
among Mr.. Goulart's support
ers. Some. including the gov
ernor of his home state, ex-
pressed belief he was being
deprived of his legal rights to
the office and took a strong
stand against others seeking to
assure his assuming the presi-

Russia'S first nuclear weapons
test in three years has triggered
speculation that Soviet Scien-
fists tested a component for
one of the superbombs about
which Premier Khrushchev has
boasted.
The White House announce
ment yesterday described the
blast as "in the intermediate
range" This would be, accord
ing to United States scientists,
a blast with a force ranging
from the equivalent of 10000
tons of TINT up to 100000 tons
Mr.. Khrushchev, in announc-
ing a resumption of nuclear
weapons tests Wednesday. said
Russian scientists now would
proceed to develop a 100-mega-
ton bomb, equivalent to 100
million tons of TINT.
Size Not Significant
United States experts do not
consider the size of the latest
Soviet blast significant. They
said an explosion in the inter-
mediate range could be used to
test componentS essential to
the successful development of
huge nuclear weapons. Smaller
nuclear weapons are used to
trigger the high yield blasts.

the development of a super
