Two Soviet A Tests Since Halt by U S
The United States reported two Soviet atomic blasts on Nov 1 and Nov 3, both relatively low yield, at a southern test site rather than the Arctic locations used recently. Eisenhower noted the USSR continued testing despite Geneva negotiations, while the U S and Britain maintained a suspension and urged Moscow to renounce further tests. The White House statement, prepared with Dulles and others, prompted swift reaction in Geneva where the talks continued.
