German Treaty.
DeadIineE ased
By Khrushchey
Party Congress
Told of Plan for
50-MeqGton Test

MOSCOW, Oct. II CAP).-
Premier Khrushchev announced
today the most awesome blast
ever set off by man, a nuclear
bomb equal to so million tons
of TINT. will be exploded by
the Soviet Union on October 81.
The Soviet Premier made
disclosure in speech opening
the 22d Soviet Communist Party
Congress. He declared Russia
no longer will insist on signing
a German peace treaty by the
end of this year-as he has
been threatening.
The 50-million-ton bomb is
half the size of the one that
Mr.. Khrushchev previously said
the Soviet Union was planning.
He said the Soviet Union has
a l00-million-ton bomb "but
we do not intend to explode it."
If we happen to explode 1t
in the wrong place, we might
break our own windows" he
explained.
May God grant that we
never have to explode such a
bomb"
Last in Series
The 50-million-ton blast, he
added. will be the last in the
current series of Soviet nuclear
tests. which started Septem-
Der l..
Twenty test bombs have been
exploded in the present series,
according to reports by the
United States Atomic Energy
Commission.
The 50-megaton blast set for
October 81 is the first of the
series to be announced by the
Soviet Union and the only one
ever announced in advance.
Such an explosion would be
$500 times bigger than the
United States atomic bomb that
hit Hiroshima in l945. 1t would
be perhaps five times larger
than the biggest device so far
exploded in the Russian series.
Japan's Central Meteorological
Agency estimated the biggest so
far was a 10-megaton bomb
tested on October 6.
The biggest bomb in the
United States arsenal is be-
lieved to be of about the equiv
alent of 20 million tons of
TINT. American experts say
they are not interested in
building a bigger one because
present bombs are powerful
enough to obliterate any tar
get. They have described the
construction of a I00-megaton
bomb as not difficult.
Up to West
Mr. Khrushchev said he was
dropping his year-end dead
line for a German treaty only
IF the Western powers display
readiness. to settle the German
problem"
But he said, The German
peace treaty must be and will
be signed, with the Western
powers or without them" and
he added that the treaty must
end Western occupation of
Wst Berlin and convert it to
a free demilitarized city"
He called once again for con
clusion of a peace treaty with
both West and East Germany
and said both should be ad-
mitted to the United Nations.
He also demanded genuinely
equal rights in all U. N. agencies q
for the three groups of states
that have come into being in
the world-socialist (Commu-
nist), neutralist and imperial
ist." And he once more de-
manded that Red China get its
Legitimate rights" in the U. N.

Atom Reactor
Dedicated at
Forest Glen
Army to Survey
Radiation Effect
On EIectronic Geur
By WILLIAM GRIGG
Star Staff Writer

A nuclear reactor able to pro-
duce pulses of high-energy "a
diation like that near the center
Of an atomic bomb explosion
was dedicated today on the
grounds Of the Forest Glen,
Md. section of the Walter Reed
Army Medical Center.
Visitors peered into 20 feet of
water at the reactor core as it
suddenly emitted a flash of
light. 1t had pulsed, the visitors
were told. from the energy level
Of an ordinary radio to a level
equal to the electrical power
used by the entire city of WASH
ington during the same period.
This peak power of IL mil
lion kilowattS occurred in a pulse
just one 13-thouSandths of q
second long.
Under 20 Feet of Water
The reactor core rests at the
bottom of the pools 20 feet of
water. This water shields work.
ers from intense neutron and
gamma radiations while per-
hitting them to watch the OPP
Grafton. The water also acts as
a cooling agent and as a mod
erator"-an agent that slows
neutronS so that there can be
a chain reaction.
The reactor, first of its type
to be fully owned and operated
by the Department of Defense,
will be used by the Army
Ordnance Corps to study how
vital electronic gear. such as
that used in missiles, would be
affected by the radiation from
a nuclear blast. Nicknamed
DORF-for Diamond Ordnance
Radiation Facility-the reactor
will be manned by personnel
Of the Diamond Ordnance Fuze
Laboratories.
Material can be radiated in
two ways. With the core at one
end of the pool, the material
can be placed in the pool itself
The core can also be shifted
to the other end Of the pool
next to a large radiation room
in which gear or test animals
can be placed.
Safety Measures Built In
Elaborate safety precautions
have been built into the design
OF this radiation room so that
q worker will not be trapped
inside. If he were and the
reactor were to be pulsed just
once. he would be killed. He
would have none of the benefit
OF the water that protects
workers on the level above.
The radiation room has con-
crete walls eight feet thick.
A concrete door of the same
thickness must be rolled into
place on railroad tracks. These
thicknesses will prevent the
intense radiation from getting
into other parts of the building.
No one can go into the radia-
ton room without using the
same key that turns on the re-
actor controls. Thus, when the
key is in use at the door, the
reactor cannot radiate the
room.
Other safety measures in
clude closed circuit TV that
shows anyone at the reactor
controls what is going on in
the radiation room.
General Dynamics Corp. of
California built the ,reactor.
which the firm calls TRIGA, in
10 months. Company engineers
will train Army workers until
about the first of next year,
when the Army will take COM
plete control. Including site
preparation, the facility has
cost $1,050, 1000.
The site is off Brookville
road, just east of Rock Greek
Park and north of East West
highway.

The President, who confer

the faculty represents a great
inter-American asset, for their
own people, for this country

NEW YORK. Feb. "A
blizzard formed by two separate
storms that Joined forces

today. leaving near-paralysis
at many points in Its wake.
The storms merged in the
New York State area last night
after one had swept In from

Point in Program
The immediate program or
dered by the President included:
/. Provide all possible assist
ance to voluntary relief agen-
cies in providing daily necessi-
ties for many Of the refugees,
for reSettling as many Of them
as possible and for obtaining
Jobs for them.
2. Obtain the assistance Of
both private and governmental
agencies to provide employment
opportunities for the displaced
Cubans, consistent with the
overall employment situation
prevailing in Florida.
8. Provide supplemental
funds for the reSettlement of
refugees in other areas, in
cluding transportation and ad-
juStment costs to the new COM
munities and for their eventual
return to Miami for repatriation
to their homeland as soon as
that Is again possible.
4. Furnish financial assist
ance to meet basic maintenance
requirements Of needy Cuban
refugee families In the Miami
area as required in commune
ties Of resettlement, admins
tered through Federal, State
and local channels and based
on standards used in the COM
munity involved.
Health Services
S. Provide for essential health
services through the financial
assistance program supple
mented by child health, public
health services and other ar
rangementS as needed.
6. Furnish Federal assistance
for local public school operat-
ing costs related to "the un-
forseen impact Of Cuban refu-
gee children on local teaching
facilities"
u. Initiate needed measures
to augment training and edu-
cational opportunities for Gu
ban refugees. including physi-
clans, teachers and those with
other professional backgrounds.
Many Of the refugees have pro-
fessional qualifications but are
not permitted to persue their
professions in this country.
8. Provide financial aid for
the care and protection Of un-
accompanied children. The
Presidents statement called
these "the most defenseless and
troubled group among the refu-
gee population"
9. Undertake q surplus food
distribution program to be ad-
ministered by the county well
fare department, with surplus
foods distributed by public and
voluntary agencies to needy
refugees.
Hopes for Understanding
II hope that these measures, "
the President said, will be un-
derstood as an immediate ex-
preston Of the firm desire OF
the people of the United States
to be Of tangible assistance to
the refugees until such time as
better circumstances enable
