Your article [April 21] distorts and omits facts in presenting what should be a full-dress debate on the arms race, nuclear and otherwise. You are certainly aware that an end to nuclear tests is part of the official U.S. disarmament package. This committee has publicly endorsed the President's recent proposals to Khrushchev. We differ from Administration policy on what step should be taken first: we advocate separation of the nuclear test ban from the total package...
Retreat to the Queen. Mills, in his first important test since he became Ways & Means boss last January, reckoned without another House chairman with rank as imperial and voice as loud. When the Democratic version reached the Rules Committee for processing, Virginia's cautious, wily Howard Smith took one look and decided he didn't like it. Too many votes were stacked against him for Rules Chairman Smith to pigeonhole the measure alongside other pieces of legislation that have displeased him in the past. But the bill, when the Rules Committee voted it out for consideration last week...
Carbon 14. As that uproar quieted, Nobel Prizewinning Chemist Linus Pauling, 57, head of the chemical labs at the California Institute of Technology, made headlines with his newest point: the most dangerous element of nuclear-test fallout over a period of five to 10,000 years is not strontium 90 but carbon 14, a low-radioactivity but long-lived (half-life: 5,568 years) isotope that from tests already held will, said Pauling, cause 5,000,000 defective children in the next 300 generations. Atomic Energy Commissioner Willard Libby, one of the world's top authorities on carbon...

A nuclear bomb exploded on the moon would tell a good deal, but its radioactivity would contaminate the virgin surface. Dr. Barnes suggests that a small amount of chemical explosive would be enough. Once planted on the moon, it could be exploded by a signal from a moon satellite. The same satellite could capture tossed-up debris, and tell by examining it whether that part of the moon...
