,TeSt bomb
Underground'
BAXTERVILLE, Miss. (P) - The
United States exploded a five
kiloton nuclear device a half mile
underground yesterday to see if
American detention devices can
spot sneak atomic tests by foreign
powers.
With a ground tremor and ~ a
deep, muffled sound the Atomic
Energy Commission triggered the
blast 2700 feet below the surface
in. the Tatum salt dome. A fine
dust haze appeared above the site.
The device had about a fourth
the punch of the atomic bomb that
leveled Hiroshima in World War
and instead of accepting the criti-
cism resigned.
"In this area;" Hall surmised,
"the question of ill health and ad-
vancing age played a role. As you
know the older you get the more
set in your ways you become, I
believe that this is what happened
to Khrushchev."
"I wouldn't be surprised," he
said, "if Khrushchev thinks things
over" and then continues to play
a role in the building of a Com-
munist society.
'Nuclear
On the question of China's nu-
clear explosion, Hall said it was,
"a serious event and would lead
to problems."
"Thp expenditure and energy
to develop that device was not
necessary," he said. "China should
have accepted for their defense
the nuclear umbrella pledged by
the Soviet Union to all socialist
countries."
He said, however, that as long
as the arms race continues, the
development of nuclear arms will
continue. "This week it is China.
Next week it is France and we are
continuing underground testing."
Welcome
Hall welcomed the suggestion
from the People's Republic of
China for a world ban on all nu-
clear tests.
He said he was sure the new
Soviet leadership will utilize the

change to see whether new nego-
tiations with China can be open-
ed. "I think that would be all to
the good. A change in personnel
always helps to find new ave-
nues and new openings."
Hall is confident that "the So-
viet Union remains the bulwark
of world peace. The steps toward
peace taken by the Soviet Union
are irreversible trends," he said.
Deep Roots
"They have deep roots in So-
viet society," he continued. They
are not the brainchild of any one
man. Khrushchev made a contri-
bution toward world peace and the
struggle for Communism. It is
my belief that history will treat
him well."
According to Hall, Khrushchev
made errors in his method of work.
"It seemed from the course of
events that Khrushchev bypassed
the collective in making decisions.
"The Soviet Union has become
very sensitive to any bureaucratic
tendencies such as this. Such sen-
sitivity is to be commended as aE
positive improvement."
Other Response
There have been various other
responses to Khrushchev's ouster
in other Communist parties:
-In East Germany the party
politburo expressed confidence in
the new regime, but praised
Khrushchev for his "merits in

Goes to Thinker Sartre
STOCKHOLM (AP)-Writer-philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre won
the 1964 Nobel Prize for Literature yesterday and turned it down-
explaining that he wanted to remain free in East-West cultural con-
flicts.
"It is not the same thing if I sign myself 'Jean-Paul Sartre' or
'Jean-Paul Sartre, Nobel Prize winner'," he said in Paris.

WASHINGTON OP)-Both sides
in Detroit's newspaper strike, now
in its 101st day, were scheduled
to meet yesterday with the Fed-
eral Mediation and Conciliation
Services.
William E. Simkin, chief of the
service, called the parties to Wash-
ington for the meeting at 1 p.m.
The strike of the afternoon De-
troit News and morning Detroit
Free Press by two craft unions has
defied efforts of state and fed-
eral mediators, Gov. George Rom-
ney and a special citizens' panel.
A major question in the strike
was whether the unions would
agree to binding arbitration, of
disputed issues, as recommended
by the panel. The publishers last
week expressed willingness to ar-
bitrate but sought an accelerated
timetable.
Pressmen's Union Local 13 said
it was willing to negotiate but
would not accept arbitration.
Plate and Paperhandlers Union
Local 10 said it would accept only
limited arbitration which would
exclude a key demand for prem-
ium payments on some work. It
also proposed excluding from ar-
bitration any term of contract or
retroactivity.
Baker' Points Out
Record Exports
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (P) -- U.S.
agricultural exports have reached
a record $6.1 billion, Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture John A.
Baker said yesterday.
The strike was called July 13
to back up new-contract demands.
More than two-thirds of the
4,100 employes at the two papers
were left jobless by the walkout,
although some have found em-
ployment on two strike-inspired
temp3rary dailies.
The special panel, created by
Romney to seek a solution to the
strike, listed three major issues
standing in the way of settlement:

premium compensation for Satur-

Parisian
Sartre has been a prolific, ar-
ticulate storm center -in Parisian
lef bank intellectual circles since
beftore the war..
But it took the war, and its
aftermath of revulsion, disgust
and general disillusionment, to
push Sartre forward on the world
stage as an apostle of a prag-
matic philosophy known as exist-
entialism.
Man-Nothing
Man himself is nothing, said
this philosophy, but he exists, and
his "engagement" or participation
in a given situation, determines
the values of life and gives life a
meaning.
Sartre coupled this with left-
wing political sympathies which at
times leaned close to outright
Communis~i. His plays reflected
an anti-American, or at least anti-
capitalistic, bias. But in his "Les
Mains Sales," produced in 1948,
Sartre turned his ire on Stalin-
ism and thus provoked new and
violent polemics around the cafe
tables.

WASHINGTON - Secretary of
Defense Robert S. McNamara pre-
dicted yesterday it would be many
years before Red China could be
able to make a nuclear attack on
the United States or its allies.
But, at the same time, he reit-
erated his concern over the pro-
liferation of nuclear power as evi-
denced in the test detonation of
what he called a "primitive device"
by the Chinese Communists last
week.
