In what amounted to an official
rejection at this time of demands
that all tne Dig powers qmi iesuii
nuclear weapons, the Atomic Ener
gy Commission and Defense De
partment announced last night:
1. Preparations are under way
for a series of nuclear tests to
begin this spring at the Eniwetok
proving grounds In the Marshall
Islands of the mid-Pacific.
J. Because there are no "effec
tive International agreements" In
effect to limit or control arma-

continually endeavor "to maintain
the most moaern, emcicui, wmi.
strength for the purposes of
3. 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. One
died. In nations like India and even
In some aligned In common de
fense with the United States, In
cluding England, there were pro
tests against further tests.
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.
