The Soviet Communist paper said the Russian H-bomb was exploded “with an experimental aim.” “As a result of the possession of mighty power of thermo nuclear fission in the hydrogen bomb, the explosion was of great strength,” Pravda added. “The test showed the power of the hydrogen bomb was many times greater than the power of atomic bombs.” Premier Georgi Malenkov told the Supreme Soviet on Aug. 8 that the United States was no longer alone in its mon opoly of the hydrogen bomb. At that time the United States said, however, that it had no evidence that the Soviet Union had set off an H-bomb. ^The United States said its de tection apparatus would regis ter such a test.

Bell Completes Carrier Training Carrier pilot qualifications on board the small aircraft carrier USS Monterey in the Gulf of Mex ico have been completed by Naval Aviation Cadet Bill J. Bell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Auril W. Bell of 1163 Walters Dr., Dallas, Tex. He attended A&M prior to en tering the Naval Aviation Cadet Program through the U. S. Naval Air Station, Dallas. Malenkov said on Aug - . 8 he made his announcement be cause “the transatlantic enemies of peace have of late found a new so lace: The United States are in possession of a still more powerful weapon than the atomic bomb and have the monopoly of the hydrogen bomb, if you please.” “This evidently could have been some sort of comfort for them had it been in keeping with reality, but this is not so. The government deems it necessary to report to the Supreme Soviet that the U n i t ed States have no monopoly in the production of the hydrogen bomb either.” Malenkov’s announcement follow ed by five years and nine months a statement by Foreign Minister V. M. Molontov that the West’s sole possession of the secret of the atom bomb “has long ceased to exist.” American experts said after Mal enkov’s Aug. 8 speech that, al though the Russians might have mastered the secret of the hydro gen bomb, they doubted that they had produced one. They labelled his speech an attempt to bolster failing Soviet morale and frighten the outside world. Square Dancing Instruction Given in MSC Manning and Nita Smith will conduct a square and round dance institute for teachers and leaders August 24 to August 29 at the MSC.

They will also conduct an institute in Kansas City over Labor Day weekend. Among the noted callers and teachers who have pre-registered for 4 the local institute the week of August 24 are Bob Cowan, of Chi cago, Charles Bogan and Lionel Lapuyade, of New Orleans, Her man d Ragland, of Houston, and Bill Borton, of El Paso.
