Washington, Jan. 11.
Admiral Lewis L. Strauss, Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, said today that the Soviet Union's possession of the H-bomb "is or ought to be of prime concern to all free people because it reduces the time which we have to work out a modus vivendi."
Admiral Strauss, addressing a luncheon meet- ing of the National Press Club, said that "the most! important discovery of the past year" on the "debit" side of the ledger was
that the Soviet
Premier, Mr Georgi Mälenkov "was not talking through his hat about thermo-nuclear reaction. He added that "the Soviets have got it. There is no doubt about it,”
Admiral Strauss declared, however, that "our stockpile of weapons is large" and adequate to meet all foreseeable needs "in the unhappy event of war."
