...solar explosion, equal in violence to 100 million hydrogen bombs exploding simultaneously, was recorded on film by University observers, Donald H. Menzel, Director of the Harvard College Observatory, told the American Astronomical Society Saturday...
...billion tons of gas, mainly hydrogen, was expelled. The radiated ultraviolet light energy disrupted radio transmission for a time by affecting the ionosphere, which usually bounces the radio waves back to the earth. The cause of the flares is not fully known, Menzel said. They could be caused by shock waves from tremendous upsurges of gas in the sun's atmosphere or because of electrical and magnetic forces near an active sunspot group...
...first thermonuclear tests in the Pacific in 1951 had only a distant bearing on missiles. The early hydrogen devices were not bombs. Later models became droppable bombs, but they were still much too heavy. Convair, nevertheless, was given a contract for a limited amount of work on an intercontinental missile-just in case...
...that Nehru's India still hugs a determined neutralism close to its heart. In one breath they decried the West's preoccupation with H-bombs; in another, they boasted loudly of their own recent experiments with the same weapons-never pausing to reflect that to Indians, all hydrogen is deplorable in fissionable form. They cheerfully compared Gandhi to Lenin, which takes some doing. Khrushchev also, fantastically, proclaimed: "The English, French and Americans started the Second World War and sent new troops against our country-the troops of Hitlerite Germany...
...international conference of atomic scientists in Geneva last summer, many charges were made that the age of nuclear fission might introduce an age of freaks and monsters. Ingalls replied yesterday that "Hydrogen bombs can cause such direct havoc to a whole population by their direct effects, that little is to be gained at this point by concentrating on the speculation that the impact is to be measured in mutations and inheritable monstrosities...
