Red China Has Primitive Bomb WASHINGTON UPI — President Johnson and his top advisers believe that Red China is on the verge of setting off a primitive atomic bomb, possibly within the next few days. Some U. S. officials believe Peking's initial nuclear test may be timed to add a massive propaganda and political boost to the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the Communist takeover in China, which begins Thursday. They said intelligence reports in recent days disclosed that the Chinese Reds apparently had reached a point where they could explode a primitive device at any time. Secretary of State Dean Rusk .said Tuesday “such an explosion might occur in the near future. If it does occur, we shall know about it and make the information public.” Official sources said they expected that the first' Chinese test blast, whether it occurs within a few days of a few months, would be about the size of the original U. S. experimental A-bomb blast at Alamogordo, N. M., in 1945. That was in the 20-kiloton range—roughly the equivalent of 20,000 tons of TNT. Rusk said that setting off an initial test explosion would still leave Red China a long way to go before it had a sufficient stockpile of nuclear weapons and a modern delivery system. Other officials estimated that when the Chinese explode their first nuclear device, it will use up virtually all the fissionable material they have been able to produce. Nevertheless. Rusk said the United States has "fully anticipated the possibility” of Peking’s entry into the nuclear weapons field and has "taken it into full account in detenninmg our military posture and our own nuclear weapons program.” Seek To Settle Auto Walkout DETROIT UPI — The United Auto Workers union and General Motors Corp. met today in an effort to end a sixday strike by more than a quarter million workers. But neither UAW President Walter P. Reuther nor GM Vice President Louis G. Seaton offered any hope the strike would be settled this week. Seaton Tuesday told reporters he planned to negotiate through the week and Reuther said to effect a settlement this week “things would have to move faster” than they have been. The UAW called the strike at 99 of GM s 130 plants Friday when the two parties failed to agree on about six key noneconomic issues. About 260.000 of the automaker's nearly 350,000 workers left the job.

BULLETIN INDIANAPOLIS I PI — President Johnson will campaign in Indiana Oct. 8. the White House announced today.

WASHINGTON UPI —President Johnson plans, if elected, to fly to Paris in November or December to outline a world peace program to Americas European Allies. He would like this to be followed before long by a meeting with Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev if the Communist leader is agreeable. Assuming he defeats Sen. Barry M Goldwater in the Nov. 3 election. Johnson does not want to dawde about going overseas on his first presidential mission of personal diplomacy. He feels his present inhibitions about leaving the country. while there is no vice president would be dispelled once Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey becomes vice president-elect. The trip to Paris could involve an appearance before either the NATO paidiamentarians’ conference in November or the NATO council in December. While in the French capital, Johnson would probably be happy to receive and invitation to meet with President Charles de Gaulle. These views became known as Johnson returned Tuesday night from a trip to Omaha, Neb., where he showed America’s strategic nuclear nerve center to Manlio Brosio, new secretay general of the North Alantic Treaty Organization NATO. Johnson hosted a lunch in Brosio’s honor at the White House Tuesday, then took him to the Strategic Air Command SAC command post at Offutt Air Force Base, near Omaha. Apart from personal hospitality, the trip was aimed at showing confidence overseas in America's commitment to the Atlantic alliance.
