(UPI) By LEROY HANSEN Unii.d Praii International Washington - lUPli - Some time in the months ahead an awesomely familiar mush room cloud will rise over the wastes of the Great Sinkiang desert. Sclsi.iographs- throughout the world will squibble their message, and scientists will flash the word - Communist China has fired its first nu clear device. Washington experts say this could happen sometime this year or perhaps in 1964. They are certain it is coming, but not too certain what the world repercussions will be. Communist China is known to have four reactors - one donated by Russia and three built by itself - at Peking, Hanyang, Chungking and Sian. It is assumed, therefore, that the Peking regime will have enough plutonium to manufacture a crude nuclear device which will most like ly trigger a "dirty" explosion such as France's first test in the Sahara. U. S. officials emphasize, however, that even if Com munist China were to explode New Magazine Is Planned by 05U Corvallis The Oregon Slate university, .school . of business and technology will begin publishing a quar t e r 1 y business. mugazinc, , "Northwest Business Man agement," in September.

The two patients bring to 1,580 the number who have been Ilown by the non-profit service since it was started. It is estimated that the hu man blood stream contains 35 trillion red calls. a nuclear device tomorrow, it should take 10 to 13 years for that nation to develop a nuclear arsenal and the means to deliver it. But they do not minimize the effect a nuclear armed China will have on the world. A Mora Dangerous Place "When it does come," Un dersecretary of State W. Av ercll Harriman said last Feb ruary, "It certainly will make the world a far more danger ous place than it is today." Subscribing to this is Uni ted Nations Secretary Gener al Thant. On June 28 he pre dicted Red China would ex plode an atomic weapon this year or next. He told a news conference that the big nuclear powers - the United States, Britain and Russia - "had missed the ) bus" on negotiating a nuclear test ban treaty. The Inference was that if they had, they would be in a position joint-1 ly to dissuade China from en-1 tcring the nuclear club. j Thant doubted much would j come from test ban talks in ; Geneva. President Kennedy himself is not too hopeful, i But he is determined to ex haust all avenues before call ing it quits. Difficult To Prevent Thant said Red China's nu clear potentialities must be reckoned with in any test ban negotiations and that "it would be very difficult, if not j impossible, to prevent China from exploding a bomb." j i ne neaa ui . uiiwuuiiisi China's nuclear development program is believed to be Dr. Chien Hsueh who studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. One of his major assistants is believed to be Dr. Ko Ting Sui, who studied at the California Institute of Technology. China's nuclear develop ment is considered almost en tirely a home-grown product. Russia presented Mao Tse Tung's regime a reactor in 1058 but in I960 pulled out all its technicians and left China on its own. It has been said that China would have become a nuclear nation much faster if it had continued re ceiving Russian assistance. Big Question Posed One of the big questions posed by a nuclear China is the attitude the Soviet Union would take, particularly in view of their current ideologi cal breach. Friends close to President Kennedy said he believes that a successful nuclear test by the Chinese could add to Rus so - Sino friction. This the President believes, could end up as an advantage to the western nations if Russia then shifts toward her more histor ical identification with west ern Europe. Although there is almost unanimous agreement among world leaders that a nuclear lest by Communist China would not make it an im mediate military threat, there have been fears voiced over the psychological affect it would have upon developing nations, particularly in Asia. Roger Hilsman, Assistant Secreary of State for Far East ern Affairs, put it this way: "There is not a military capability that could chal lenge free world power. I think they will attempt to use it politically. This would seem to be the most likely, that they would attempt to per suade, to cow, to frighten some of the people in Asia." World nervousness over a nuclear capable Red China was shown by the reaction to two separate incidents this year. In January, the head of Japan's Defense Agency an nounced at a news conference that he had information Com munist China had two nuclear devices ready to test. His statement was widely publi cized although it developed later that it was a prediction based on the atomic develop ment China was assumed to have made to date. No Monitoring Information In February, a report from Gangtok in the remote Hima layan kingdom of Sikkim claimed Red China had deton ated an atomic explosion on Jan. 11. There was a flurry of excitement that quickly died down when scientists throughout the world said they had no monitoring infor mation to substantiate the re port. Some U. S. officials, includ ing Harriman, have expressed the hope that Communist China would have become more conservative after it be comes a nuclear power. Hils man agreed: "From what I hear of conversations in Pe king," he said in a June panel discussion, "they are begin ning to understand a little bit more about the devastation or disaster that would happen in the world, and some of them at least are becoming mora conservative." Reading of Communist China's public pronounce ments casts some doubt on this view, however. "The western papers," Pe king said late last year, "have recently more than once disclosed that Washing ton is anxious to tie China's hands in developing nuclear weapons and have even; open ly stated that this is one ot the objectives of the limited ban draft treaty recently put forward." This view, said Peking, "is wishful thinking."
