Russia Reveals Hydrogen Bomb Test and Disarmament Push
Moscow announces a test hydrogen bomb of great strength and calls for international acceptance of a disarmament plan including a ban on atomic weapons. The AEC confirms information on the Aug. 12 test, noting similarities to U.S. tests at Eniwetok in 1951 and 1952. Pravda and Moscow radio report the official Soviet disclosure, while urging no alarm and reiterating a stance for international inspection and weapon ban. The Soviet plan proposes a one third cut in conventional arms among the five major powers and an immediate ban on atomic and bacteriological arms, with the West opposing inspections under Soviet terms.
