Soviet Believed To Have Beaten US To Cheap Explosive Washington U.R) The belief has long persisted in Washing ton quarters that Russia may have beaten this country to a cheap and efficient way to make hydrogen superbombs. But American weaponeers re couped quickly, and the United States so say its atomic offi cials is well out front in the nuclear arms race. Even so, no responsible gov ernment figure doubts that Rus sia has a stockpile of H-bombs and the means of delivering them. Seen as Pugnacious Boast Nevertheless, Tuesday's decla ration by Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov that Russia is the No. 1 H-bomb' power was greeted here as a pugnacious boast de signed to scare the free world at a moment when Soviet stock" needed boosting. The Atomic Energy commis- sion refused to comment official ly on Molotov's boast. But AEC Chairman Lewis L. Strauss and Commissioner Thomas E. Mur ray often have declared Ameri ca's atomic superiority. Strauss Confident And Strauss is known to be lieve that the U.S. superbomb stockpile is big enough by com parison with Russia's to offset the USSR's admitted superiority in armed manpower and to con stitute the world's best insur ance against all-out aggression by the East. But neither Strauss nor oth ers informed on the subject dis count Russia's technical capa bilities, and many a U.S. author ity has warned that the Reds could some day forge ahead if this country ever slackened its atomic effort. ' The world's first full-scale hy drogen explosion, so described by President Eisenhower, was detonated at Eniwetok in the Marshall islands by the United States on Nov. 1, 1952. It wiped out the test island. Some nine months later, on Aug. 12, 1953, the second hydro gen explosion in history was set off by Russia.. First Blast 'Dwarfed Then on , March 1, 1954, at Bikini in the Marshalls the United States began a new. se ries of H-bomb tests with an ex plosion that dwarfed the curtain-raiser of 1952. A highly qualified official source told the United Press that the main ingredient of the new superbomb was a material that cost "a matter of dollars a pound" whereas the prime mov er of the 1952 device was "a substance that cost thousand of dollars an ounce." This source said of the new First Plans Made -For Flower Show Of Three Groups Rogue River' First plans for a flower show to be held jointly with the Evans Valley and Rogue River Garden clubs were made at the last meeting of Laurel Garden club.

Zhukov, for clues to possible future power strug gles in the Soviet Union. They were particularly anx ious to know whether Zhukov, first deputy defense minister and one-time friendly associate of President Eisenhower, would succeed Premier Nikolai Bulga nin in his old post of defense minister. Smooth Alliance Official sources credited Georgi Malenkov's downfall as Soviet Premier and Bulganin's succession to a smooth alliance between Russian politicians and professional soldiers of which Zhukov is one of the best known. Opinion was divided on Zhu kov's actual role in the alliance," but it was agreed that if he be comes defense minister there will be no doubt as to his great influence. Struggle for Power? , . The politico-military alliance appeared to be working smooth ly with the politicians holding the big jobs and the professional military men content to go along. But there was speculation among well-informed officials in Wash ington as to how long the ar rangement will last. material that "we can assume the Russians know about it." U.S. diplomatic officials said Molotov's H-bomb rattling may have been the Soviet answer to reported "major developments" on the U.S. atomic front. In any -event, the possibility that Russia might some day catch up in fact with the United States is always present in the minds of American officials.

To some experts, Bulganin's rise symbolized mounting power of the military even though Bul ganin is regarded as a man whose first loyalty is to the Communist Party rather than to the military. He is a politician who was given the military rank of Marshal and is regarded as a compromise and, perhaps, temporary choice.
