H-Bomb Tests Vital To U.S. Safety-Ike Opposes Bomb Test End Unless Proper Safeguards Met WASHINGTON (UP) — President Eisenhower is ready not only ..to stop. H-bomb tests, but “to put all nuclear weapons aside permanently ’’ as soon as “one basic requirement is met.” “This requirement is that we, as a nation, and all peoples, knowsafety from attack.” But until "properly safeguarded international agreements can be reached,” this country must continue to develop “the most advanced weapons —for the sake of our own national safety, for the sake of all free nations, for the sake of peace itself.” The President thus capsuled his H-bomb policy late Tuesday in releasing from the White House two long official memoranda detailing the history of U. S. nuclear developments and the history of U. S. efforts ’to control the atom for peace since 1945. The President's statement and the two documents — which he called "a full and explicit review” of American nuclear policies and actions —dealt at length with Adlai E. Stevenson’s proposals for banning H-bomb tests. The documents also disclosed that Mr. Eisenhower twice — in late June, 1954, and again in June, 1955—approved interagency -feccommendations that the United States should not agree to a “test moratorium” in the absence of a disarmament agreement. The first action followed a test ban recommendation by prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru of India on April 2, 1954. Nehru's proposal was echoed by the Communist world peace council. The second followed a, Soviet proposal for prohibition of tests, “without provision of safeguards,” and a report by presidential disarmament adviser Harold E. Stassen stressing “the absolute necessity of effective inspection in any agreement” with Russia. Stevenson has said a simple test ban agreement with the Russians is sufficient because if they cheat and explode an H-bomb “we would immediately detect it.” President Eisenhower: It is impossible “to have positive assurance of inch detection except in on r*ir« Bixj

Poland Leader Says Russian Troops Return Return To Bases As Set Out In Pact; Tension Reduced WARSAW (UP)—Premier Jozef Cyranklewicz told parliament today that all Russian troops in Poland would return to specifically defined Warsaw pact bases within two days. Cyrankiewicz also declared firmly that “decision on all Polish matters are now exclusively in Polish hands.” Cyranklewicz made his announcement when he appeared before the second session of the current meeting of the Sejm (parliament) to report on the “present situation” in this country. ” He spoke against a hackground of reduced tension inside Poland, but with news of revolt in Communist Hungary reverberating across the world. The Polish Communist party restored Wladyslaw Gomulka to pow-. er last weekend in a bloodless reassertion of national rights over Russian control. But in Hungary a similar move to remove Russian domination resulted in open civil war. The report by Cyrankiewicz was the first formal indication that Soviet troops actually had moved during the weekend upheaval that restored Gomulka as premier in Poland’s move toward national independence within the Communist camp. —- Tuesday, authoritative sources said Russia had ordered its Polishbased troops back to their camps and Russian warships out of Polish waters. Today Cyrankiewicz made these reports official when be said: “Within two days Soviet troops will be back in their bases defined under the Warsaw military pact.” The order for the withdrwaal of Russian forces from combat-ready positions came from the Kremlin after Gomulka had telephoned di rect to Soviet Communist party boss Nikita Khrushchev in Moscow, authoritative sources said. Cyrankiewicz emphasized to parliament the new regime’s continued friendship with the Soviet Union. But he also firmly declared that Potand would make her own way along the road to socialism — the same path set out originally by Yugoslav President Tito in hip revolt against the Kremlin. The premier warned that the new Polish Communist leadership headed up by Gomulka represented the Polish people, and that anyone opposed to it was also against socialism and democratization in Poland. He warned that “we must keep order.”

Stevenson In Challenge To Ike Contention Declares Bomb Test End To Strengthen Nation's Position NEW YORK (UP) — Adlai E.' Stevenson challeged Tuesday night President Eisenhwer’s contention that an end to hydrogen bomb testing would weaken the relative military position of the United States. The Democratic presidential nominee told a Democratic rally in Madison Square Garden that on the contrary an end to H-bomb-tests would increase tins nation’s “peace power.” He said the peace and health of the world would be advanced and that he did not think “this nation wants the great decisions about the H-bomb entrusted to Richard M. Nixon." He denied that such an agreement would deprive the United States of any of its retaliatory striking power. “We would continue to work on defense against attack,” he said. “We would strive for the balanced forces needed for the most probable type of conflict. We would strong, not weaker? Stevenson wrote his nationally televised and broadcast speech before the President issued a special government report Tuesday on nuclear weapons and disarmament. Mr. Eisenhower declared that he-refused to stop H-bomb tests unless Russia and other atomic powers agree to a foolproof system of international inspection and safeguards.

New Regime In Vain Appeal To Halt Fighting Reports At Least 350 Persons Dead In Hungary Revolt VIENNA (UP) — Civil war erupted in Communist Hungary today. A new Communist regime headed by Premier Imre Nagy. Installed in the bloody hours before dawn, appealed desperately but in vain over Budapest Radio for an end to the fighting. An Austrian just returned from Budapest told United Press that “at least 350 persons have been killed so far in the Budapest uprising.” “Soldiers, civilians and security police” have been killed in the uprising, Budapest Radio said. Nagy asked the populace to place Its faith in the government, and pleaded: “Trust in us. We shall find the right way.” . Nagy, ousted in April, 1955, as a the way to a new, Polish-type “Titoist” and called in now to lead gime in Hungary, declared marffa! law and finally called in Russian troops, tanks and armored cars. Five hours after 1 declaration of miytiaUlaw five unidentified jet fighters machine-gunned “counterrevolutionaries” in the streets ot Budapest. The capital was sealed off from the rest of the world but Budapest Radio, interspersing its pleas for peace with opera music and with the sound of gunfire clearly audible in the background, was telling the story of the first full-scale vervolt In the Soviet Union’s eastern European empire. At mid-afternoon the radio admitted .the rebellion had spread beyond the city. It said "rioters' vainly tried to take over the magnesium mines of Tatbany and Salgotarjan,” northwest of Budapest. What had started as an intraCommunist struggle for power now was raging as a revolt against the government, with anti-Communlsts apparently rising against both Red Hungarian rule and Russian influence. Budapest Radio described the rebels variously as “Fascists,” "counter • revolutionaries” and “misguided workers.” (Continued on Page Three) Election Ballots Received By Clerk Prepare Materials For Fall Election State, national and time referendum ballots for Adams county voters in the Nov. 6 general election were brought to Adams county Monday by county clerk Richard Lewton from Indianapolis.
