ATOMIC Today, Congress followed up President Kennedy's announcement - that we will have to resume nuclear te1ting. The Preeident, sayin g emphatically that we are not going to give Khrushchev the privilege of - no competition in the develop111nt of atomic weapons. The reau.lt on Capitol Hill - overwhelmingly tavorable • . Especially inthe House - where the lppropr1ationa Coa1ttee quickly voted the money needed for our new atomic exper1alnl1. An extra thirty million - to get the program moving. What kind of a program? a Lit ~1101pheric te1tlng t.1 ruled out - at least tor the preeent. The adllin11trat1on, not wanting to add to - the fall-out hazard. President 1enn1dJ feels that our national security - doesn•t demand it. And tbl American President is determined to let the world eee - juat llho is indifferent to the welfare of humanity. So - our atomic experimente will be underground. High on the pr i ority list - weapons for the armed services. An atomic bazoo k a - for tactical use by the :Army. Anti-submarine • ATOMIC - 2 nuclear bombe -- for the Navy. And atomic warheade - to be fired from planes or ttlt Air Force. BEUJRADE ---- Everythin g wae done with diplomatic formality - in Belgrade today.

Perhaps they didn't •nt to undercut• lebru and Nkrumah. The leader ■ or India and . Ghana •re given - that .. mission to Moecow. And since Khruehchev is aa1d to reepect Nehru's opinion - Belgrade may reel that the best re1ult1 will come out of confidential talks in the Soviet capital. Whether Khrushchev really respects Hehru ' that much - is a queetion. Today•e fanfare at the Moecow airport may not mean a thing - if the boee of the Kremlin decidee to tal k tough to the Prime M1n1 .: ter from New Delhi • .
