Churchill claims H-Bomb

Testswiiitai To

LONDON. (OP)-3-Prime Minister Churchill says United States 1-!- bomb experiments in the Pacific are essential to free world defence. He spurned Labor party demands mat he use his influence to have mom called off. I

'7hu.i-chill. speaking in the House at Commons Tuesday called the H-bomb the "greatest possible de- 1 torrent against the outbreak of World War III".

At the same time he sought to reasurs an alarmed public by saying that Britain knows from her "own scientific knowledge" that the test explosions will not get out of hand.

This was not enough for Labor members who fired baokabarrage of questions until the meaker ruled that the House should pro- ceed with other business.

This touched off another uproar. Labor members, crying out that the I-I-bomb tests were "a matter of urgent public importance". de- manded an emergency debate at , nnce.

Galleries Packed

Foreign ambassadors crowded the galleries and every seat was taken in the House when Churchill. flushed and solemn, addressed Parliament.

Despite prodding from Labor leader Clement Attlee, Churchill refused to summon an immediate meeting of the Big Three on at- omic and hydrogen weapons. But he made clear he still hopes to meet with Soviet Premier Malen- kov and Prwldent Eisenhower 'aometime in the future. , W

Churchill said that hair Britain have no power ' U

be made to the soviet Union. "The experiments which the Americans are now conducting in. the Pacino are an euential part of the defence policy of a friend- lry power without whose massive strength and generous help Eur- ope would be in mortal peril."

list Of this Embargoed To Be Narrowed

LONDON. (CF) - Britain, the United States and France Tues- day night announced agreement on expanding trade with Commu- nist East Europe, but with secur- ity safeguards.

The announcement said the three countries will advocate "narrow- ing snbstantially" the 1951 list of goods embargoed to Russia and her satellites.

E. Stassen, U. S. foreign operations administrator, met with British and French delegates to discuss their call for greater trade with Iron Curtain countries.

Officials will remain here to study the 1951 list item by item in time for a conference in Paris April 13 of all 15 countries which co-ordinate the embargo on ship- ment of strategic goods to East- ern Europe. These countries are West Germany, Japan, and all Atlantic pact countries except Ice- land.

The existing embargo on trade with Communist China and -North Korea "should be continued." the announcement said. This is the United Nations embargo on airs- tegic gcod.s.approved in May. l95l, at the height of the Korean hoa- tilities.

The three - power agreement averted what once threatened to cause a serious diplomatic rift be- tween the United States and her European allies. Britain proposed
