The tests will Involve use of weapons for which the power win be "substantially below that of the maximum 1964 test." This refer ence, in a supplementary state ment by AEC Chairman Lewis L. Strauss, was to the superpowerful blast of March 1, 1954. That explosion, unofficially esti mated to have been equal to energy released by the detonation of about 17 million tons of conventional TNT brought trouble. Radioactive material falling out from the bomb cloud drifted outside the pro claimed safety rone. It descended on a Japanese fishing boat. The Japanese said the crewmen de veloped radiation sickness.

The Joint AEC-Defense Depart ment announcement said that one important purpose of the new series, while using only "weapons generally smaller" than that of the 1954 tet shot, still will be power ful. Only weapons too big for safe use at the continental test site in Nevada are used at the Pacific proving ground. William Franz Death Learned LAKE VIEW William P.
