experiments on grounds that the
tests (a) fnrerten human sur
vival; (b) contribute to the
world-wide "war of nerves" and
(c) create economic hardships in
fishing and related industries.
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.

has proposed an immediate ban
on tho productin, us" and ' test

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.

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.
