Russian Bomb Won't
A ffect Three Sciences.

By JOHN McREYNOLDS
Russia's recent large-scale hy-
drogen bomb testing, according to
three University professors fromf
the astronomy, physics, and geol-
ogy departments, will have little
effect on their respective sciences.
Prof. Fred T. Haddock of the.
astronomy department said that
the testing would have no effect
unless "a great number" of them
were exploded, putting enough
particles in the air to obscure
stars. This amount would, how-
ever, probably be lethal to life.
Another way -a nuclear explo-
sion could interfere with astro-
nomical research would be for' a
large bomb to be ,exploded be-
neath a great amount of rock,
so that the expansion would shoot;
thousands of tons of debris into,
the stratosphere, much in the
manner of the Krakatoa volcanic
action.{
Pumice Streams
The Krakatoa explosion in 1883
poured out such streams of fine
pumice into the stratosphere that
the skies over Europe had a, rosy.
hue six weeks later.
Prof. Crane of the physics de-+
partment, particularly interested+
in "the dating, by radioactive
analysis, of such long-lived un-t
stable atoms as carbon. 14," relat-E
ed that fallout effects in physicsl
experiments have always been
guarded against. :
"There was more trouble from

the Nevada tests than is expected
from the effects of the Russian
devices, since those in the Neva-
da desert were low-powered, thus
sending fallout to low heights
from which much fell on Michi-
gan due to prevailing winds," he
said.
Particles Remain
"The particles from a 30-meg-
aton device, such as that detonated
by Russia, remain in the high at-
mosphere, descending over a per-
iod of 10-20 years."
Crane noted that the United
States could probably have set off
a bomb as large as the Russian
one but didn't due to political
strategy.
Prof. Wilson, chairman of the
geology department, said that the
energy of a 100-megaton bomb
would be small in comparison to
the energy released by an earth-
quake and would have a "very
slight" effect on radioactive dat-
ing processes, "but not enough to
be serious."
Earthquake Triggers
Speculation that bombs are now
getting large enough to trigger
earthquakes is, in Prof. Wilson's.
opinion, unfounded.
A 100-megaton bomb has a pow-+
er of approximately one-sixth the
evident power of the 1906 San1
Francisco earthquake, "but a
great amount of energy in an;
earthquake is dissipated in heat
and shock waves."1

Committee
Adopts Plea
In Meeting
Ratification Seen
As a Certainty
UNITED NATIONS (A:?) - Th
General Assembly will consider to-
day approval of an appeal to Mos-
cow to cancel a 50-megaton H-
bomb test.
The appeal won overwhelming
endorsement Wednesday night i
the Assembly's political commit-
tee, and ratification is regarded a
certain.
Sponsors of the eight-natior
resolution containing the appea
succeeded yesterday in getting the
issue on the Assembly agenda.
They forwarded their reques
for urgent action to Assembly
President Mongi Slim, who agreed
to list it on the items of busi-
ness for the session opening at
10:30 a.m.
Add Nations
The Assembly is expected to take
up first admission of Outer Mon-
golia and Mauritania as the UN's
102nd and 103rd members, then
plunge directly into consideration
of the appeal.
At a private meeting yesterday
the eight sponsors--Canada, Ja-
pan, Norway, Denmark, Sweden,
Iceland, Iran and Pakistan-laid
plans to counter any delaying
tactics by Soviet bloc countries
similar to those whoch developed
in the political committee.
They are working against the
month-end deadline mentioned by
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev
for testing the 50-megaton bomb.
Recommend Approval
The political committee rec-
ommended ratification of the
eight-nation resolution of a vote
of 75 to 10 with one abstention-
far more than the two-thirds ma-
jority required for Assembly rati-
fication.
Fifteen members were absent
when the vote was taken and two
of them-Niger and El Salvador-
indicated yesterday they would
vote yes in the Assembly.
They spoke in the political com-
mittee, where general debate re-
sumed on the nuclear test ban is-
sue.I
Equal Ground ,
Debate in that committee was
marked by charges from United
States Delegate Arthur Dean that
India had sought to put the So-
viet Union and the United States
on equal ground as far as viola-
tion of the voluntary moratorium
on nuclear tests is concerned,
He declared that India's atti-
tude appeared to resemble that of
Soviet Premier Khrushchev, who
has declared that United States
actions in Berlin made it neces-
sary for the Soviet Union to re-
sume testing in order to perfect its
defenses.
"The Indian delegation has a
perfect right to take this strange
action if it so wishes," he said. It
also has the right to 'equate a
50 kiloton device exploded under-
ground with a 50-megaton device
exploded in the atmosphere. But
I subscribe that it should have
done so with some accuracy."
Dean was replying to speeches
in the committee made earlier by
Indian delegates.
Fallout Doesn't
.Merit Concern

WASHINGTON (A') - Fallout
levels from Russia's nuclear ex-
plosions thus far do not warrant
undue public concern or drastic;
action, a United States Public
Health Service statement said
yesterday.
However, the statement added
that present levels "do warrant
continuous, intensive surveillance
by federal, state and local gov-
ernments and consideration of
protective measures which might
be taken if they should be found
necessary."

PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY
secret list
Reuther Posts
N ew Deadline
For Chrysler
DETROIT (A') - United Auto
Workers president Walter P. Reu-
ther yesterday gave Chrysler
Corp. until 10 a.m. today to sub-
mit to the UAW a new economic
offer on wages and benefits.
"It has to meet the pattern of
the Ford and General Motors set-
tlements," he declared.
In making this announcement,
during a noon recess in contract
negotiations, Reuther made no
mention of strike action.
Showdown Talks
But the union previously set
what amounts to a deadline in
showdown bargaining with Chrys-
ler by calling a meeting of its in-
ternational executive board for 8
p.m. today. The board will con-
sider authorizing a strike against
Chrysler if complete agreement on
a new three-year contract is not
in sight then.
The UAW's 60,000 members in
Chrysler plants already have vot-
ed in favor of strike action of nec-
essary to back up their demands.
Reuther said he was insisting on
an agreement in principle on the
broad economics of wage and ben-
efits by today.
Chrysler Considers
Commenting on the union de-
mand, Chrysler's Vice-President
for Personnel John D. Leary said,
"we told the union we would take
it under advisement."
Reuther said the union would
have a technical staff standing by
to help speed a final settlement
when the company comes up with
a new economic offer.
Reuther said there were still
some non-economic problems re-
lated to working conditions that
remain to be settled. He said the
union had-subcommittees working
on them.
