Nikita Admits Nuclear Blasts Harm To Health MOSCOW (AP) Soviet Premierlinto a needlessly fast response on Khrushchev told a cluster ot the Berlin nuestinn. But vihenl newsmen at a reception that the Soviet Union will drop nuclear testing "when the others stop. Earlier today, he acknowledged that nuclear testing is harmful to health. "We will stop when the others stop," Khrushchev said in an swer to a question by correspond ents. "If the West continues test ing 'there will be more tests! here." This was a reflection of the So viet device of blaming the West for beginning the testing of nil clear weapons, although actually the moratorium was broken by the Soviet Union. To further questions at a party honoring the 4th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, Khrush chev also said the Soviet Union does not want to hustle the West asked how long the Soviet Union! would wait he replied, "Not in' definitely." He conceded nuclear tests are harmful to health but insisted universal disarmament is the only answer. "There is talk of the harmful affects of experimental nuclear explosions on peoples' health,' the Soviet premier was quoted by the soviet News agency Tass. "Yes, it has been scientifically established that they are harmful to health. "But the use of nuclear weapons in war is a million times mofe dangerous, not only for the peo ples' health but for the very lives of people for it is clear that these weapons are not being pro duced to be kept in storage."

Another wall in front, with an offset, provides a door. It's wide open. Radiation from fallout can not go around corners but peo ple can to.get in or out. Railroad ties are the roof beams, with a two-foot lover of dirt-filled bags resting on top. That gives 28 inches thickness of dirt and wood.

The vital point is that lethal X-rays from intensive fallout are stopped by two feet ot concrete. or anything with equal density or mass.
