Matter of Focf HOW McCONE SPOKE OUT Washington - "We must not stand still for long, for 18 months now. (in this matter of voluntary suspension of nuclear tests) we have de pended on the words of the Soviet. They have stated their weapons testing has been halted, it....- Bn. Jiltl I'll Al till " r noc v ccptcd this in good faith "Yet no positive proof available or possible. If the Soviets' word is good then our position of nuclear superior tv is secure. If their word i! not good, the past 18 months will have given them time to ralch up in nuclear weapons development. Another two or three years would place them well ahead of us." The speaker was the able Chairman of the Atomic En ergy Commission. John A. .Mi-Cone. The words quoted are a reconstruction-but an umiiiestionably authentic re-construction-of the key pas sage in a recent speech Chair man MeCone made to the Kiircign Policy Association. A LTllOUCH privately dcliv ered, this speech has caus ed a sharp stir in the half clciscd circle of the policy makers. It was bound to cause a stir, since Chairman MeCone so openly suggested that the Soviets could very easily be violating in secret the public, self-denying East-West mora torium on further nuclear tests. The background of this speech was the same ugly ar ray of facts recently brought out in the scientific hearings held by the Congressional Joint Committee on Atomic Energy. These facts were un happily discovered long after the beginning of the Geneva negotiations for a ban on nu clear tests. They contradict almost every oplimiatic as sumption of the people, like this reporter, who have great ly hoped for an effective ban on tests. From these facta, four crucial points stand out. First, all the scientists. In cluding the leading advocate of a ban on nuclean tests, the great Dr. Hans Bclhc, now agree that detection of con cealed underground tests is vastly more difficult than had been supposed, lu be exact, test explosions in big holes underground . are precisely .'too times harder to detect than the Geneva negotiations believed when they devised! .neir detection system. IJENCE the Geneva detection system, as now designed, is worthless for tests of weap ons up to 30 kilotons. At least one hole big enough to conceal tests of this magnitude has al ready been made in a salt dome, by an American oil company. It is not known whether such extra-large un derground holes already exist in the Soviet Union. In any ease, since the Geneva detec tion system has yet to be con structed, the Soviets can very easily run clandestine under ground tests in somewhat smaller hulcs with no risk of exposure. Second, clandestine tests of 20 to 30 kilolon nuclear weap ons afford satisfactory trials in miniulure of weapons in the megaton range. Third, the Geneva detection system affords no safeguard whatever against tests of meg aton weapons in outer space The means for such tests do not exist as yet. They would certainly be immensely diffi cult and expensive. But they are theoretically quite feasi ble. They would also richly reward a secret aggressor Having developed a new weapons system in miniature, in underground tests, the ag gressor could then make his final trials in outer space. And could do this without sacrific ing a particle of his advantage of surprise. LHJURTH, the advances in " nuclear weaponry that are still possible, as a result of further testing, "are second only to the historic advance from the atomic to the hydro gen bomb." Again, the quota lion comes from the MeCone speech. According to report, moreover. Chairman MeCone rightly minimized the com monly discussed risk of Soviet cheating to develop tactical, small yield nuclear weapons. Soviet military doctrine docs not emphasize such weapons They are also wasteful of fis sionable raw stuff. The wisest Western theorists also agree with the Soviet doctrine. Instead, therefore, Chair man MeCone stressed the dan ger of new missile. weapons - ' systems being made possible by lighter yet more powerful v .irhrad.i and of anti-missile capons systems being made !' : .blc by specialized wr Jr ads of new types. Both types ocvclopment can probably be carried on successfully, by i 'c.-iirg the present test mor- .' -.'viiii. i with underground .- .s in the 20 to 30 kiloton range.

With the summit con ference just around the cor ner, the American govern ment stands virtually commit ted to the wholly inadequate Geneva detection system. It will take two years to install the Geneva system. No safe guard whatever now exists against underground chiat ir, by the Soviets. Even when pressed on President Eisen hower the case for a go-slow approach to the voluntary moratorium on tests. A major question remains, however. What answer will the Presi dent make if Nikita S. Khrush chev, at the summit confer ence, sweeps aside all the re maining obstacles to installa tion of the Geneva accord, and asks the President to sign a ban on tests forthwith? Chairman MeCone. Nonethe-1 terns, to improve existing de ltas, the value of a ban on nu-j lection capabilities. And there clear tests wuu.d be very g-es" indeed, if only means to en force it can be found. There is a chance, though no more than an even chance, that fully effective means of en forcement will be discovered by the scientists. Hence tlu? drift of the policy-makers' thinking seems lo be in the direction of agree ment with Khrushchev, with two major provisoes. The ban on tests will be approved. The Geneva detection system will be installed. But this will will be the further condition that all bets wiii Lit off at th, end of two years, if a cheat-proof method of en forcement cannot be devised in the interval, (c) 1960 New York Herald Tribun Inc.
