Material
Reported Over America
Washington, Oct. 26.
Russia has exploded more atomic weapons in a series of tests since' the middle of last month, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission announced today.
The Commission Chairman, Mr Lewis Strauss, said the explosions "began in mid-September and continued at intervals to the present."
He added: "As is generally the case with nuclear detonations, these tests have resulted in some widespread fall-out of radioactive material, but insignificantly in the United States.
