WASHINGTON (AP)—The Soviet Union’s huge nuclear
bomb—which may double the fallout coming from all the
current Soviet tests—has been denounced by the White
House as a device to incite “fright and panic.”
The immediate fallout from the blast is expected to
reach North America in three to five days.
The White House statement, .obviously issued, with
President Kennedy's approval, said the Soviet' effort to
would determine the eligibility "for
the program on basis of citizen-
ship, residence, employment and
other resources.

ALGIERS (AP) — French set-

night as their underground army
exploded a record number of
plastic bombs in Algiers. Two Al-

More than 60 plastic bombs
went off, and Europeans greeted
each blast with cries of joy from
their balconies. It was the biggest
number ever set off in the Al-
gerian capital in one evening
The bombs were planted by the

year. -
As the bargainers went back to
the table only 11 hours remained
under what amounts to a union
deadline for wrapping up a com-

Settlements were reached previ-
ously at Ford Motor Co. and Gen-

warned Chrysler last week that
if no new contract was in hand
by that time it would serve 48-

NO MENTION
The Soviet press and radio made
no mention of Monday's big, bomb
blast, the most powerful ever set
off by man.
But Soviet Premier Khrushchev

There was no official word on
what bearing the explosion may
have on the possibility of the
United States resuming teats in
the atmosphere.
The shadow of Monday's 50-
megaton explosion—the invisible
cloud of radioactive fallout — be-
gan its wind-borne sweep around
the world.
FALLOUT CARRIED
U.S. Weather Bureau special-
ists said wind patterns indicate
the immediate fallout was being
carried southeastward from its
point of detonation in the Soviet
arctie.
Robert List. one of the bureau's
fallout specialists, said the mass
of radioactive ash would likely
swing east ultimately and would
“reach the North American con-
tinent in three to five days, de-
pending on the winds.”
The gigantic blast—which the
U.S. Atomic Energy Commission
estimated at 50 megatons — may
have doubled the fallout un-
leashed by all the previous blasts
in the Soviet series which began
Sept 1. •
BIG BOMBS
Until Monday's explosion, the
Soviets were estimated to have
detonated bombs with a total
yield of more than 50 megatons
of energy yield—inclurding the big
Oct. 23 explosion which U.S. sci-
entists now estimate at 25 mega-
tons. A megaton is equal to one
million tons of TNT in energy.
Thus, with a single 50-megaton
bomb, the Russians almost
equalled the explosive force at
more than two dozen earlier
tests. The blast could have cre-
sted almost as much lingering
fallout as all the previous bests,
depending on how “dirty” it was.

scientist who is outside the gov-
