Since there is no known way to identify nuclear explosions of small yield underground, the U.S. cannot know if the Russians have really stopped tests. The Russians have tested several high-energy shots this year, one in excess of Hiroshima size, and the U.S. has only the U.S.S.R.'s word that the shots were nonnuclear. Moreover, with their big-thrust rocket engines, the Russians have the capability of testing nuclear warheads without detection in outer space, getting telemetered results much as they did from their moon shots. "We haven't quite lost this fight yet." said one knowledgeable...
...Tomb for Hiroshima. Tange decided in his teens to become an architect after he had seen pictures of Le Corbusier's rejected plan for the League of Nations. He attended Tokyo's Imperial University, later worked with Architect Kunio Maekawa, a former Le Corbusier pupil. Tange's big chance came after the war, when in 1949 he won the national competition to build the Hiroshima Peace Center on the site where the first A-bomb was dropped. His solution for the museum, library and auditorium was typically Corbusian: a series of reinforced concrete structures set on stilts...
...without previous experience in film direction have gone into production with full-length films, and already half a dozen of them have achieved both critical acclaim and the franc approval of the public. Among the leaders François Truffaut, 27 (The Four Hundred Blows), Alain Resnais, 37 (Hiroshima, My Love), Claude Chabrol, 27 (Le Beau Serge, The Cousins), Edouard Molinaro, 31 (Back to the Wall...
...year-old nuclear-test talks with the Russians at Geneva (resumed last week), the U.S. has made major concessions without getting any workable inspection agreement. Moreover, the U.S., in recalculating the results of its underground shot in October 1958, has discovered that underground explosions below 20 kilotons (about Hiroshima size) cannot accurately be detected by known seismographic instruments (TIME, Jan. 12). Meanwhile, the U.S. has had to hold up development of "clean" (low-fallout) bombs and smaller thermonuclear weapons. Sample result: a delay in the smaller warhead for the second-generation Minuteman intercontinental missile...
...Convert Kotsuji, who plans to found a Jewish mission in Japan: "Shinto falls far short of attaining the Jewish ideals of monotheism and cleanliness." Adds World Union Director Israel Ben Zeev: "The Japanese are ripe for conversion. Eventually, they will become either Christians or Jews. But as long as Hiroshima is still fresh in their minds, they are not likely to accept Christianity...
