Wesern Powers Caught Befween A-Test Ban, Soviet Development (Editort Not: Th follow ing dlipttch ii butd on infor mation obtained from authori tiot in official positions which otturo rh accuracy of their statements. However, the Unit ed Press International agreed not to disclose their identities.) By HUGH WATERFIELD UPI Staff Writer LONDON (ITU - The Western powers are beginning to have sec ond thought! on the present mor atorium on nuclear test explosions because of reported startling ad vances in Russian nuclear weap ons, Western military experts said today. ' The experts told I'nited Press International the Western dele gates at the Geneva nuclear talks are caught between the devil of public opinion which opposes fur ther nuclear explosions and the deep blue sea of advanced Soviet nuclear techniques. For nearly a year the world has watched the negotiations in Gene va, hoping that the specter of a deadly nuclear arms tace can be erased. The talks resumed in Ge neva this week after a two-month recess. At the moment the "nuclear club" of Russia, the United States and Britain have a verbal under standing that no nuclear tests will be made before next year. The military experts in London said Western leaders recogiiue the strong public demand for a ban on tests. But, they sa d, evi dence so far of the danger to health by radioactive fallout is not conclusive. Weioh Military Risk Western statesmen and military leaders have the responsibility for Kennedy Will Not Settle For 2nd Best WASHINGTON ITI Ren John F. Kennedy, a front-runner among Democratic presidential aspirants, intends to make it clear that he is unavailable for second pluce on his pa-ty's ticket When he makes a formal an nouncement of his presidential candidacy, probably in January, he can expected to couple it with a statement that he won't run as a vice presidential nominee. This word came today rem the Kennedy camp where such a statement was viewed as essen tial to clear the pre-convention at mosphere for It). It would be intended as a firm and early answer to admirers of Adlai K. Stevenson who d-eam ol nominating Stevenson for a third try for the White House with Ken nedy as his running mate. Kennedy, an early Stevenson supporter in 19.10, tried but failed to win the vice presidentitil nom ination in 1956 largely because the farm belt preferred Sen. Kstes Kefauvor 'D-Tenn.i. Now the ' Massachusetts se.iator has h;s - eye only on the top spot. Kennedy would be following a fairly stundard practice for a presidential candidate by ruling for the vice presidency, ulthougli some Democrats would remain skeptical as to whether he meant it.

Analysis of this fallout led the U.S. scientists to the conclusion the Russians had . enormously greater supplies of uranium than the West suspected. It also indi cated they had solved the prob lem, which still baffled Western scientists, of bringing large quan tities of uraninm-235 together in the casing of their superbomb without producing an automatic nuclear reaction. Hat Delivery Power The military experts here said Russia's Sputniks and Luniks have shown she has missiles cap able of delivering her super atum ie bomb. No country yet has a miss le powerful enouh to carry a hydrogen bomb, they said. One of the main problems is in the method of detonating the hy diogen bomb.

The liussians also appear to be ahead of the West in finding an alternative to this, according to the London experts. A Soviet explosives expert. Gen. Georgi losifovich I'okrovisky. said recently all Russia's latest hydro gen bombs are detonated by what he called an "electrical explo sion" instead of by atomic bombs H Bomb Value Limited Western military experts said the value of the hydrogen bomb, even in massive retaliation, was seriously limited by its weight and that at present it can be de livered only by manned bombers. The experts said all Soviet tar gets are surrounded by deep anti aircraft defenses equipped with radar and guided missiles. An at tack by manned aircraft would in volve heavy losses in men and planes and a large percentage of waste in bombs which would not reach, their targets. In view of th:s, the experts said, it is vital for the West to improve a id lighten the hydrogen bomb and this can be done only through test explosions. ' :. Rail Strike Threat " Like Steel Mess WASHINGTON fl'I'It Rail road lalxir negotiations, now s:m niering in Chicago, invite com parison uilh bargaining in the steel industry and the similarities are obvious. The railroads are demanding wholesale changes in "work rules" against bitter opposition from union spokesmen. The same issue is regarded by many labor relations exierls as the key road block to settlement of the 108-day steel strike. At the outset of contract talks, the steel producers called for a oneyeur wage freeze to aid the fight against inflation. The rail roads are proiosing a 15-cent hourly pay cut they say is needed to bring wages of their employes in line with those in other indus tries. Some federal officials, however, believe the contrasts between the two disputes may be more signifi cant in helping to avert a threat ened nationwide rail strike some time next year. Here are some of the differ ences they cite: Collective bargaining on the railroads is reguiateJ by the Rail way Labor Act, a far more flexi ble law in curbing strikes than the Taft-Hartley Act being used in the steel situation. Kailroad management lias suggested a presidential commis sion to study the wo-k ruk-s in an effort to elnnina'e alleged "feath e: bedding" but the unions reject ed this approach. By contrast, the Steelworkers' proposal for a sim ilar study was rejected by the steel compa ies. who favored ar bitration. The railway Later Act pro vides for o.caCoi of White House emerge "j boards which have the power to make recommendations for settlement of major disputes. Under Taft-Hartley. President Ki senhower's fact-finding board was confined to stating the issues pre venting an agreement. Contracts do not expire in the railroad industry but continue in effect until changed by a new agreement. This bars any union consideration of striking on grounds of "no-contract, no work," a situation which faced the Steelworkers.
