Dulles Casts Skeptical Eye at Red Hydrogen Claim
Secretary of State Dulles voiced skepticism over Malenkov's hint that the Soviet Union has mastered hydrogen bomb production. He said no independent evidence supports a Russian H bomb, and no explosion has been detected in the USSR. Dulles also cited Western charges of Soviet neglect of consumer goods and lack of public participation under despotism. He noted October could host a political conference with China and Korea, urged UN Korea talks without admitting China, and said State Department personnel who voted for Stevenson remain eligible for policy roles.
