Pollute Atmosphere Nuclear explosions pollute the upper atmosphere with tin radioactive particles, especially a poison know as strontium-90 Over a period of time some of these particles drift to earth as a radioactive "fallout." Prominent nuclear physicists disagree as to whether or not the amount of radioactive dust now in the earth's atmosphere is dangerous to human life. Po litical leaders in various coun tries also disagree; the issue be came involved in the U. S. presi dential campaign Ipst fall. Late January discussions in the UN general assembly and the UN political committee reveal con siderable suoport for some kind of control Over future tests. The Japanese delegation indicated it is "not quite satisfied" with U.S. and British assurances that hum an health :'s nci being endang ered by the tests. The Swedish delegation has asked for an im mediate suspension of all tests until a ui.v raaiaiion committee can prepare and submit a reli able report on radiation hazards. Altitude Complicated United States attitudes toward the proposal are complicated by national defense considerations, outlined ty 'President Eisenhow er during the election campaign. The President insisted on further testing until there is a foolproof international inspection system to insure against secret Russian research. The situation Is further comp licated by the fact that US combat troops all over the world are begin equipped with a yide variety of nuclear weapons. An example is Secretary of Defense Wilson's announcement Feb. 20 that U.S.-based jet planes are now equipped with nuclear rock ets, and thai atomic anti-aircraft missiles are soon to come in key locations throughout the coun try. Presumably the developing and perfecting of these weapons, and the training of troops in their use, calls for continual testing.

The subject of nuclear epons tests td disarmament r 6iucubse4 ia totUy'c Do' cieiofw vubjarl has proposed an immediate ban on tho productin, us" and ' test ing of all nuclear weapons. This goes farther than non-Communist delegations were willing to go during the January debates in the UN. American experts appear to disagree on whether Russia's proposal is sincere or a propaganda move. In any event, the administra tion is reported to oppose any ban on nuclear tests unless it is a part of a tdtal agreement on arms limits. J. p-.n, Jh only nation to buf fer from atomic iiombinri, claims it h:s been h.iru'cst hit on the economic front by nuclcnr tests. During la., summer's II bomb trit.L, tho U.S. curt lined off fi third of million square miles of the Pacific ocean, much of It rich Japanese fishinn grounds. Some Japanese scient ists have also susfested that fi-h contaminated in tiie test area may well turn un in other fish ing around- in other parts 01 the ocean. Advance Registration Support is believed to b growing for a draft resolution submitted to the UN political committee by Canada, Japan and Norway. The resolution calls for advance registration of all future , tests, allowing the UN radiation committee to study the effect of radioactive fallout and evalu ate health and economic hazard resulting. This, the Japanese delegate warned, is "the absolute mini mum to which' we have to agree." The U.S. is prepared to co operate in such a program, since she already warns other nation In advance of Pacific tests. Rus sian tests, however, are conduct ed without advance notice.
