(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 FOE HITS 'LIES': RomneyDe id-f or-Yo 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 carrying out the Marxist-Leninist FRENCH PLAYWRIGHT-NOVELIST Jean-Paul Sartre yester- ; day declined to accept the 1964 Nobel Prize for literature.

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: -Demands by both unions for premium compensation for Satur- day night work, scheduled or not, at the morning Free Press; Attenda F REE Lecture " tedaFR E CHRISTIAN SCIENCE: A FRESH APPROACH.

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. f is foreseen at the moment. * * * WASHINGTON - Secretary of Defense Robert S.
