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

Washington (U.R) Diplo
mats today watched Russian mit
itary- leaders, particularly Mar
shal Georgi K. Zhukov, for clues
to possible future power strug

They were particularly anx

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

will be no doubt as to his great
influence.
Struggle for Power? , .
The politico-military alliance
appeared to be working smooth

the big jobs and the professional
military men content to go along.
But there was speculation among
well-informed officials in Wash

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.

An upset could set off another
struggle for power in the Krem
lin. Diplomats said all available
evidence shows that Soviet
power is in several hands. Nikita
Khrushchev, Communist Party
boss, has the tightest grip even
though he shunned the premier

The important medical disclo

The new drug is known as cy

To some experts, Bulganin's
rise symbolized mounting power
of the military even though Bul

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.

Up to now, rest has been the

has been the leading drug used
in this country since its discov
