The Ministry of Supply an nounced Friday the successful test of nuclear weapon at the Christmas island proving grounds in the , South Pacific. The official announcement said that "early Indications are that the fallout will again be negli gible." It was reliably learned that the test involved a hydrogen bomb. Scientific observes said the fact that the bomb, like others tested earlier, had apparently exploded without scattering radio-active fallout over a wide area indicated the weapons are "clean." Thus they can be used for "tactical" purposes, if necessary, The sources cited the fact that the area closed to shipping for Friday's test was reduced from 750,000 square miles to a com paratively small 63,000 miles, irithe previous tests, much of the South Pacific around Christ mas island had been placed off limits because of the fear of ra dioactive fallout. A specially - equipped Royal air force Valiant jet bomber dropped Friday's bomb, which sources reported was in the 10 megaton range the equivalent of 10 million tons of TNT. RAF Canberra bombers flew through the swirling clouds within minutes of the blast to collect samples for etesting by scientists.

(International Soundphoto) Sputnik Causes Foregoing Consumer Needs In Russia By HENRY SHAPIRO UP Press Staff Correspondent Moscow (IP) "Mama, buy me a Sputnik." "There are no Sputniks on sale here, Mischa," the Russian moth er told her 8-year-old boy. The scene was at the toy counter of The Gum, Moscow's largest de partment store. Turning to a neighboring shopper, the mother grumbled: "I'm sure there will be many more Sputniks in the skies be fore our factories make such! toys." . Conditions Reflected This dialogue, which probably has been repeated thousands of times among the people of Rus sia, reflects two things: How the Sputnik and all it signifies has penetrated the pub lic consciousness, and The gulf between the suc cessful Soviet policy of produc ing what Russian authorities con sider "first things first" and de lay, if not entire disregard, of secondaries. There is not a single Soviet citizen unaware of the immense sacrifices necessary to achieve the giant industrial and scien tific strides Russia has made in the past 40 years. "Sure I'm proud of the Sput nik and the ICBM," a taxi driv er said the other day. "But I still must work pretty hard to fulfill my daily labor norm." An engineering student put it this way: "Our road has been rough, but we certainly have travelled far." Kiss-Minded Girls Smear Young Critic Ann Arbor, Mich.

Foreign Policy Hit By Asian Leaders At UNESCO Affairs San Frani isco (IP) Two orominent Asians spoke about the United States Friday at sep arate luncheons of the National Conference of the U. S. Nation al commission for UNESCO one with praise and one with criticism. The speakers were U Thant, Burmese ambassador to the Un ited Nations and Dr. Ismail Bin Dalo Abdul Rahman, ambassa dor of Malava to the United Stales and UN. U Thant said the U. S. policy of refusing to recognize Com munist China "makes no sense ' ?nd "needs thorough re-examination and re-appraisal." He sid America's opposition to Red China's entry to the UN damaged not Peking, but the UN, "which is thereby ruled out as an effective instrument of International conciliation." Pay Tribute The Burmese paid tribute to America's "mosl impressive rec ord," but saia :.t has not won as many friend? as 'it should in Asia. 'The explanation, I think, ir your extraordinary vigor, the vehemence of the reactions and your feelings and your failure to ree the Asian mind," U Thant said. Dr. Ismail said Malaya is try ing to strengthen national unity by expanding social and cultur al accomplishment, and urged U. S. help in "satisfyingt his Hunger", for knowledge and un derstanding. "The whole Asian continent i chirsting for a religious renais sance, the rebirth of cultural values and the improvement cf moral standards." Ismail said. "America can certainly fill the need."
