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

aiaint'in lnc ''fsl quotation from clear testing of detection sys-
have to face, at the present
stage of American policy
making. 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
