Tell The Facts
About H-Bomb
Washington, Sept. 30.
President Eisenhower told a press conference here today that the Soviet hydrogen explosion was a fact of the utmost importance to the world.
He was answering questions about the significance for the world of the Soviet explosion of the hydrogen bomb. He said he hoped, when he had sorted out his ideas, to go before the United States people and tell them the facts and conclusions which he and the administra- tion had reached on this subject.
He said the United Slater was] Department was studying how more interested than ever in full advantage could be taken dotermining the intentions of the of every opportunity to relleva
