British Editor Claims Russia HasH-Bomb (Reports attributed U Ken neth DeCourcy, London edi tor, that Russia has exploded a hydrogen bomb, are without confirmation or authoritative acceptance. Associated Press Inquiries show. Foreign office and other British government sources regard the reports with "cautious skepticism," although DeCourcy correctly predicted that Russia would explode an atom bomb in 1949). By Hil Cooper LONDON, Feb. 6-CAVKenneth DeCourcy, British editor of the monthly "Intelligence Digest," declared today Russia has made and exploded the world's first hydrogen bomb. j DeCourcy, who correctly pre dicted the Russians would set off their first atomic blast in 1949, said in a statement to the press "There is now evidence of Russia already having made an. H-bomb she has in fact made three and exploded one of them." u a; a .i. i the purported super-bomb was tested, but added that "barring accidents or deliberate changes," the Russians planned to set off 11 more atomic blasts beginning at 2 a.m., Greenwich mean time, on March 3 or 4. He did not say whether these would be hydrogen of uranium bombs. (American scientists said scien tific instruments would detect such an explosion as DeCourcr reports. Dr. Hans A. Bethe of Cornell university, whose studies laid the foundation for work on hydrogen bomb, said last Sat urday the United States could de tect a Russian hydrogen bomb blast. There has been no report that such an explosion was record ed.) DeCourcy is now in Marrakech. Morocco. His statement to the press, issued from his home in Gerrards Cross. Buckinghamshire, said be bas fully confirmed that a second Russian atomic explosion occurred on January 7. DeCourcy predicted last Janu ary 5 the Russians would attempt a second explosion at midnight. Greenwich mean time, January 7, in Kazakhstan, Russia. Later he said this explosion had occurred as predicted but there has been no confirmation from any other source. DeCourcy claims to have intelligence contacts in Russia as well as western Europe.

Risk Freedoms Chin it's unusuaL trravelv-word- ed statement delivered as ne gotiations in New York appeared to be hopelessly deadlocked told both the Communications Workers (CWA) and the Bell Telephone System that failure to agree would risk their own freedoms. Ching said: "... the consequences may not be limited to a temporary incon venience to the public . "Many of the freedoms which both sides presently enjoy, and are enjoyed by employers and unions, generally, will be endangered by a demonstration of an absence of sound and stable management labor relations in the critical com munications industry.' Ching appeared to be hinting that a ftrike possibly shutting down the telephone network of the nation, vital to the economy and national defense, might force congrers to pass legislation extend ing bevond the telephone industry.
