WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. An atomic scientist said today that a Pai'is-via-Prag'ue-via-Moscow re port that the Russians had ex ploded a 13.2 pound experimental fission bomb was “patently ab surd." Government officials ex pressed similar views but not for, attribution. William A Higgin botham of the Federation of Atom ic Scientists found several aspects of the report which struch him as “fishy." One was that the alleged blast, near Irkutsk in Siberia, was heard 18.5 miles away. The first experimental detonation of a U.S. atomic bomb, staged in the New Mexican desert July 16, 1945, “was heard about 200 miles away I and the flash was seen much far I ther than that,” he said.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 11. Poland charged inferentially today that the United States is working to ward a new war, with an accusa tion that a representative of a “great country” virtually approved use of the atomic bomb against, “one member of the United Na tions.” The Polish charges were coupled with a Czechoslovakian attack on the U.S. in a plenary session of the United Nations edu cational, scientific and cultural or ganization. Both nations followed the line recently laid down by Rus sia in United Nations meetings at Lake Success in accusing the Uni ted States of “war mongering.” WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.

This would include impulses fom radar transmitters on the ground. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11. The national association of real estate boards today planned to demand that congress permit rent controls to expire next spring. CHICAGO, Nov. 11. Enrico Fermi, Nobel prize winning phy icist, predicts that science soon may discover radioactive ele ments which will attack only diseased cells in specified body organs.
