Caltech Scientist Sees Russia Bombs Push for Control
Dr. Linus Pauling of Caltech said Russia may now push harder for an international atomic energy pact after Truman’s disclosure. He noted Russia could feel less of an underdog and Western powers might concede, urging caution about espionage and recognizing Russia’s industrial potential to build bombs. Radioactive drift offers a detectible sign of a test. Seismographs could detect quake-like signals from distant nuclear activity.

Washington Sept 24 UPI The Russian atomic explosion announced by President Truman appears to have wiped out congressional opposition to sharing with Britain and Canada the full know how of the A bomb. Alarmed lawmakers urged tighter NATO defense ties and concentration of bomb making in the United States as UN efforts for control of atomic development resurfaced. Senate leaders urged cooperation with Britain and Canada while calls grew for Truman to meet Stalin to seek an end to the Cold War and a possible international control regime.
