Soviet delegate Semyon Tsarapkin, hopeful of repeating Friday's successful blocking action,
accused chairman Amadeo of
supporting a NATO bloc manoeuvre.
Tsarapkin described Amn-

illegal, and at one point proposed that a special committee
be appointed lo consider Ama-
deo's decisions. The Russian got
nowhere.
Ousman Ba of Mali sad he

The fallout from the cirrcnt
Soviet scries still was not as
high as from the Unitcd States
tests in 1958. It probably would
be slightly higher by thc time
the Soviet tests finished, as Rus-
has said they will finish, at
the end of this month.
Dr. Zimmerman said it is
"quite possible" tho 30-megaton
bomb detonated Monday by
Russia was intended as. a 50-
megaton blast hut the bomb had
proved inefficient.
He said there has bcen a
"terrible hullabaloo" about fall

But In 195ft total radioactivity
had bcen only .111 roentgens.
This comprised .10 roe itgcns |
from natural radiation such

As a comparison, a universally lethal dose ot radioactivity
would lie 400 roentgens. There
would bc some survivors from
a dose of .100 roentgens and
widespread sickness from 20(1
roentgens.
Protests Mount Against
Soviet Tests
LONDON (Reuters) - The non-Commur,!sf
world prepared anti - radioactivity measures
Wednesday as Russia was reported to have
triggered still another nuclear blast.
Unparallelled precautions, such as distribution of calcium in Scandinavia, were being proposed as protests mounted against the current
Soviet tests.  _

The United States Atomic
Energy Commission in Washington confirmed Wednesday's
blast, but said its force was
probably less than a megaton,
which is the equivalent of 1,-
000,000 tons of TNT.
ASK FOR TABLETS
Communist John Takman, a
member of Stockholm's city
council, proposed distribut on of
calcium tablets to all children
in the Swedish city to limit
strontium-flO, a radioactive pro-
in Belgrade that he was 'deeply
concerned" about Russian plans
to detonate a 50-megaton bomb.
Canadian External Affairs
Minister Green said in Ottawa
Wednesday's blast indicated the Russians intended to
disregard world opinion and go
right on with their tests until
they set off the 50 - megaton
explosion.
JAPAN PROTESTS
In Tokyo, Japan protested to
Russia in a verbal note against
Monday's blast and said no possible explanation could justify
it.

the Communist requirement to!
show their identification papers

Thc U.S., Britain and France do
not recognize the East German
regime. The U.S. insists on
maintaining its war-won right
that American officials, whether
civilian or military, can move

DON'T  PRESS  ISSUE
However, the U.S. command
refused to press the issue later
when the Communist guards
halted two army sightseeing
buses and insisted on inspecting
the passengers' identification
papers. The army said it pulled
the buses back because it
wanted to spare the women passengers "undue harassment."
It was the first time the Communists had barred entry inlo
East Berlin for the army sightseeing buses, a regular feature
of U.S. garrison life in West
Berlin.
As U.S. officers aboard the
bus argued vainly with the Communist border guards, the U.S.

Solovyev of the serious consequences of the "illegal and unacceptable" Communist "restrictions on Allied access to East
