US DEVELOPING "A FAMILY" OF BIG Russia Has "Home HYDROGEN BOMBS

Object Of Present Tests

At Bikini Atoll

ATTEMPTS TO OVERCOME THREAT OF RUSSIAN ATOMIC ATTACKS

Washington sources said yesterday it seemed certain the purpose of the H-Bomb explosions carlier this month at Bikini Atoll and other tests next month was to perfect "a family of hydrogen weapons ranging upwards in power from around the equivalent of one million tons of TNT".

Possible reasons for this were found in a statement by the Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee who said Russia now had at least 1,000 long range bombers capable of atom-bombing perhaps even hydrogen-bombing the United States.

Another source, unnamed, said in Washington America had little if any technological lead in the field of hydrogen weapons and they were relatively easy to make.
