...known techniques of seismic detection of underground tests were completely unreliable. The U.S. had gone into the Geneva talks 14 months before on the basis of a single seismic detection of a single underground test explosion-the Rainier shot in September 1957-but had pulled up short after the Hardtack shots in Nevada in October 1958 could not be distinguished from small earthquakes. The Russian scientists had agreed to consider the evidence. Instead, the U.S.S.R.'s Evgeny Fedorov charged in the Geneva report that it was "the brink of absurdity." Fedorov went on to charge the Western scientists with...
Intransience developed at the beginning of this year however, when the White House declared that data from the Hardtack II series of four underground nuclear explosions the previous October invalidated the findings of the Geneva experts. The main result showed that primary waves were weaker than expected and therefore were harder to distinguish from smaller quakes. The Russians steadily refused to study this data until last week, claiming it was merely an attempt by the U.S. to sabotage the conference. Certainly the way and manner in which this information was released by the U.S. appeared to be deliberately misleading...
...endorsement of Arkansas' labor-investigating John Mc-Clellan, and 2) so kid-gloved that the A.F.L.-C.I.O. does not plan to denounce it. The lone committee naysayer: Arizona's right-wing Republican Barry Goldwater, who called the Kennedy bill "milk toast," vowed to serve up his own hardtack substitute on the Senate floor. EURj[ Philadelphia Lawyer Robert C. Nix, newly elected to fill the unexpired term of a Congressman who resigned, took his seat on the Democratic side of the House, bringing the Congress' Negro membership to four, highest number since Reconstruction days...
...really won me over." ¶Because too many communiques might sound like too much saber-rattling, the Atomic Energy Commission will make announcements on no more than half the 30 nuclear shots to be fired at the mid-Pacific Eniwetok Proving Ground this summer during the Operation Hardtack test series. But there is another compelling reason for secrecy as well. By not revealing the time and type of all bursts AEC will avoid offering the Russians an opportunity to test their capability at detecting small-yield nuclear shots...
