Russia Urges
Disarming for
New H-Bomb
Announces Exploding
Of Hell Bomb Test
On August 12
Moscow ? The Russians
announced today that they
have exploded a test hydrogen
bomb of "great strength."
They coupled their claim with
a new call for International
acceptance of a Russian dis
armament plan Including a
ban on atomic weapons.
In Washington, the Atomic
Energy Commission confirmed
that it had Information on a
Soviet "hell-bomb" test con
ducted August 12 but implied
that the United States had
produced similar reactions in
the 1951 and 1952 tests at En
iwetok Atoll.
This was the official Soviet
announcement, as reported in
the communist party newspa
per Pravda and broadcast by
the Moscow radio to the So
viet people:
Test Claimed Successful
Recently in the Soviet Un
ion, the explosion of a type
of hydrogen bomb was carried
out with experimental aim. As
a result of the possession of
the mighty power of thermon
uclear fission in the hydrogen
bomb, the explosion was of
great strength.
"The test showed the pow
er of the hydrogen bomb is
many times greater than the
power of atomic bombs."
The communique received
only routine treatment in
Pravda, appearing page 2 un
der the heading: "Govern
ment Information on the Test
of the Hydrogen Bomb in the
Soviet Union."

Ike Silent on

how the United States learned
about Soviet Union tests in
dicating Russia may have the
hydrogen bomb
Eisenhower had no comment
on the Moscow newspaper
Pravda's statement last night
tnat . Russia recently touched
off a hydrogen bomb explo
sion. Eisenhower returned to his
vacation headquarters here by
plane last night from New
York.
There, at the dedication of a
housing project, he declared
that families with a ororjer
and decent living standard
constitute a better defense
against communism than "any
bomb of whatever kind."
"That is the kind of thins
that will preserve this nation,"
the chief executive said in a
brief speech at the dedication
ceremonies.

Putnam Says Oregon
Providing School Needs
By A. L. LINDBECK
For lb Auoclatcd Prtu
Is Oregon holding its own In
the race to provide adequate
educational facilities for a rap
idly increasing school enroll
ment? The answer, according to the
State Department of Education,
is "definitely yes."
With the stork working over
time and thousands of newcom
ers flocking in from other states
Oregon has for years been con
fronted with a real emergency
in school housing. But school
districts throughout the state
have been pouring millions of
dollars into a building program.
In many districts this has
meant back-breaking bond is
sues and tax levies but the is
sue has been met nevertheless,

Get Pay Hike
Portland, Ore. W) Bargain
ing representatives for West
Coast pulp and paper manu
facturers and unions reached
agreement late Wednesday
night on pay Increases and
other contract changes to be
submitted to referendum vote.
A wage boost of 2 per
cent is the same aa that made
in a previous proposal, voted
down by members of tin two
AFL unions involved. How
ever, a joint statement Thurs
day said the new proposal al
so contains a wholly revised
procedure for "selections, pay
schedules and promotions
which removes earlier objec
tions.
The pay boost proposal
would establish the men s base
rate at $1.76 V4 cents an hour
and women's at $1.47. The
statement said this continues
"the highest pulp and paper
industry wage rates in the
world."
If approved by the 46 union
locals, the wage increases will
be retroactive to June 1. Af
fected are 18,000 workers In

be high school students. This

Restore Use of
Mail to AD-X2
Washington ) The Post
office Department Thursday
wiped off the books its pre
viously suspended order against
use of the mails in promotion
of the controversial battery ad
ditive AD-X2.
The original order was is
sued Feb. 24 after the Bureau
of Standards had rejected the
claims of Jess M. Ritchie, Oak
land, Calif., that the material
would add greatly to the life
of electric storage batteries.
AD-X2 is made by Ritchie's
company, Pioneers, Inc., San
Francisco,
The fraud order was sus
pended March 3 in the midst
of a raging controversy over
the product involving the Bur-
ear of Standards, the Com
merce Department, the Senate
Small Business Committee and
various scientific groups.
The row brought about an
order from Secretary of Com
merce Weeks firing Dr. A. V.
Astin as chief of the Bureau of
Standards, but Weeks later
asked Astin to stay on while
an independent committee of
scientists evaluates . AD-X2.
That study is not yet complete.
CIO Assails
Power Policy
Washington VP) The Eisen

enunciated power policy was
under fire Thursday from the

tee and spokesmen for Ameri
cans for Democratic Action
ADA and .the National Rural
Cooperative Asociation.
The policy spelled out Tues
day with President Eisenhow
er's approval assigns to local
interests, either public or pri
vate, the main role in develop
ing power for the nation. The
Interior Department said the
federal government would con
tinue to build multi-purpose
dams too big for local units to

power policy "threatens within
a short time to wreck the entire,
public power program,"
Stevenson, Democratic can
didate for the presidency last
year, returned Thursday from
a six-month trip around the
world. - ;
His over-all conclusion, he
said, was that American post
war policies have been success,
ful.
"We have been winning the
cold war step by step," Steven.
son told a news conference. "In
consequence, the danger of
world war has diminished, at
least for the present. But this
is no time to relax or lower our
guard."
Stevenson said he traveled
through 30 countries.
"I talked with everybody
from cobblers to kings," he
said.
Some t his conclusions, in
answer to a wide variety of
questions, were:
"1. The spread of commun
ism has been arrested. Signs
of strain and defiance are evl
dent, and cracks are opening
in me iron curtain, notably in
tasi uermany.
"2. Since Stalin's death, it
appears that Russia has
changed its tactics and begun
a cautious retreat, but there is
yet no certain evidence that the
long-term objective of world
domination has changed.
3. Just now, unhappily, our
prestige and moral influence
have declined, together with
faith in our judgment and our
leadership."
"It Is hard for them to recon
cile our view of the danger of
war wun a cut in our aeiense
buildup," Stevenson said.
"There is an impression that

Million Idle
' Paris VP) New strike orders
went out Thursday from non
Communist unions to hundreds
of thousands of workers in the
metal Industries and building
trades.
They were 48-hour stoppages
directed to begin Friday, but
workers were already reported
walking off the job In big plants
like the nationalized Renault
auto factory in Paris which
employs 37,000, .
At least one million work
ers were still Idle in the 18th
day of the strikes that were
tieing up tbe railroads, coal
mines - and post offices, and
sporadically hitting the ports,
arsenals, and other sectors of
life.
The Socialist and Catholic
labor federations called the
new walkouts with the threat
they might be continued be
yond 48 hours as a defiance
to the "ultimatum" of Premier
Joseph Laniel, who has said
"no negotiations while the
strikes are In progress."
There now seemed little pros
pect that labor's rebellion
would quiet down before next
week, when parliament is ex
pected back for an emergency
