Account of Evtnts
A U.S. spokesman gave this ac
count of Sunday night's events:
At 7:15 p.m. Lightner, accom
panied by his wife, arrived at the
American checkpoint on Fried
richstrasse in his privately owned
American-licensed sedan. The
Vopos refused to let hi in go into
the bast zone unless he showed
his identification. Lightner re
fused and asked for a Soviet of
ficer to be called.
By 8 p.m. no Soviet officer had
appeared. Lightner drove past the
opo guards and through a zig
zag barrier beyond the Commu
nist checkpoint. There he was
stopped again.
At t p.m., eight American Mrs
led by Lt. Claude L. Stults Jr.,
of Livingston. Tenn., moved ac
ross the border and formed a
walking escort for Lightner and
his wife, who drove forward to
Leipzigerstrasse, round the first
block and back into the American
sector.
At 0:13 p.m. Lightner, alone In
his car, drove in a second time,
again escorted by armed MPs.
After five minutes they returned
to the U.S. sector.
At t:40 the U.S. provost mar
shal, Lt. Col. Robert A. Sabolyk,
crossed the border to make a
personal protest to the Soviet of
ficer who had meanwhile ap
peared at the communist check
point. At 10:40 p.m., a convoy of
American, British and French
cars, including Lightner, drove in-
to and out of Last Berlin without
eirort and without hindrance,
Three Patton tanks and two
U.S. armored personnel carriers
drove into Jtehring Square, 700
yards from the checkpoint, short
ly after the MPs marched over
the border.
It was believed to be the first
armed American incursion into
Communist territory in Berlin
since the city was split into occu
pation sectors after the end of
World War if.
The Vopo captain said grimly,
"The Americans will hear more
about this.

Sweden Says
Bomb Was 50
Megaton Size
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Soviet Union set off a giant
nuclear explosion today.
A Swedish expeit said there is
reason to believe the bomb was
at or near the 50 megaton range
promised by Premier Khrush
chev. A spokesman for the U.S. Atom
ic Energy Commission suggested
caution in speculating about the
explosion until more information
becomes available.
The observatory at Vppsala,
Sweden, said today's explosion
was twice as heavy as any re
corded for previous Soviet tests
in the series that began last
month.
Rocerded In France
The explosion also was record
ed in France and Japan.
Premier Khrushchev told the
Communist party congress last
week that the current series of
Soviet tests probably would con
clude at the end of this month
with the testing of a thermonu
clear device equivalent to 50 mil
lion tons of TNT.
Some versions of Khrushchev's
speech had the explosion pegged
for Oct. 30 or 31.
A storm of protest against plans
for the blast has been building up
in the United Nations and else
where in the world. Thus the So
viet Union conceivably could have
decided to go ahead with the test
ahead of the scheduled time.
There was no confirmation of this,
however, from Moscow or any
other source within the first few
hours after today's blast went off.
Dr. Arthur Baath, of the Upp
sala Seismological Institute, said
he found reason to believe today's
explosion was of a SO-megaton
bomb. But in Washington an AEC
spokesman said:
"It takes a certain amount of
time to analyze this thing. From
wha. we know, some cautioa
needs to be exercised concerning
the Swedish report insofar as a
oo-megaton device is concerned.
Japanese sources had estimated
at 10 megatons the strength of a
previous Soviet test bomb in
September.
Dr. Baath (aid:
"If today's explosion took place
in the same area and at approxi-
malely the same altitude as ear.
her tests, the power ot the bomb
must have been considerably
I stronger than any previous Soviet
nuclear detonation In the Nova j a
lemiya area.
"This blast must have been
registered 'round the globe.
Epicenter Located
"The estimated epicenter of the
explosion was located in the gen
eral direction of Novaya Zemlva.
It was situated 1,300 miles north
east of Uppsala in the area used
for earlier Russian atomic experi
ments. "The explosion wat registered
on the Uppsala seismological ap
paratus as twice as heavy as the
most viol.-nt previous Soviet teste
on last Sept. 10 and Oct. (."
The explosion was registered at
:3$.M a.m. Swedish time, of
3:34.41 Eastern Standard Time.
Sweden Says Soviets
Have Confirmed Blast
STOCKHOLM (AP)-The Swe
dish news agency said tonight
that Marshal Rodion V. Malmov-
sky, Soviet minister of defense,
confirmed that a 50-megaton
bomb has been exploded over the
arctic. The agency gave no fur
ther information.
