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

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

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."
