"Communists Have Turned Their

OFFICIAL'S GRAVE VIEW
Washington, Mar. 29.
The Soviet bloc, frustrated in Europe by the Marshall Plan and NATO, had moved its challenge for world domination to Asia, the Assistant Secre tary of State, Mr Walter S. Robertson, said today.
Keeping Indo-China out of Communist hands was therefore "just as critical as the retention of Korea"-it is the gateway to South-East Asia. Beirut, Mar. 28.

"H-Bomb Explosions
May Pollute
The Pacific Ocean"
Sydney, Mar, 28.
Dr John Blatt of the Sydney University School of Physics, in a letter published in a newgɑ paper here, has raised the question of the possibl lity of undetected forms of ocean pollution being caused by the recent United States hydrogen bomb test and suggested further study of the pollution problem before further tests are held.
Dr Blatt's letter said: "In view of the recent H-bomb in the Pacific, it seems desirable to raise the question of what is the maximum safe level of radio-activity in an ocean such as the Pacific.
"There is no need to panic, but there is need to define un- ambiguously what lovel of radio-activity is safe and to ask nations engaging in bomb tests for conclusive proof that the
