The first tower was destroyed in the first test Oct. 16.

No details were announced. The Oct. 10 major bomb test was des- cribed as a "Penney utility" -for Sir William Penney, Britain's ohief atomic scientist who managed the test. The Penny utility was stated to be considerably less powerful than Britain's first atomic bomb, which vaporized e. frigate when it was exploded off Australia's Monte Beilo islands last October. a

few Details

The two major explosions and a series of minor. ones were made behind a curtain of secrecy and Monday's en ouncement did not disclose the nature of the weapon. It did say that during the last few weeks British scientists had carried out various other trials in- volving minor explosions. The blast earlla this month rocketted a peach-colored cloud more than 10.000 feet into the air.

Full Responsibility

It said: "The Soviet government cannot bilt draw the attention oi )the Greek government to the fact that the change of the territory of .,Greece into a. base for the armed forces of the aggressive North At- lantic bloc creates a. threat to peace and security in the Balkans. Therefore the Greek government must bear full responsibility for this step, which leads to a sharp- ening oi the international situa- tlon.”

It said conclusion of the Oct. 12 agreement zttestifies Greek government has begun to carry out measures which are dir- ected at the preparation of a new war, having given the territory oi Greece for use with these aims by the armed forces oi the United States. .

Soviet De-legato, Calls Statement "lie And Slander"

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (AP)- Tha United. states said Monday that Russia had directed a Commu- nist torture centre where false confessions of germ. warfare were wrung from U.S.' filers in Korea- even after the armistice. The Rus- sians entered a denial.

Dr. Charles W. Mayo, U.s. dele- gate, resented the charge before the U political committee. Dr. Mayo said an interrogation centre known as ”i'ak's Palace” near Pyongyang. North Korea, was staffed by Chinese and North Koreans but directed by soviet personnel.

-”Many of our fliers were inter- rogated there by Soviet person- nel," the Minnesota surgeon said. He told of a Kansas flier who re- fused to write a confession des- pite l.li00 hours of questioning directed by Russians.

' Alleges Torture

Dr. Mayo said US. fliers were reduced.to a level lower than that of animals, and that the tortures were designed to be more terrible than medieval methods.

"They are calculated to disinte- grate the mind of an intelligent victim," he asserted, in order to make him destroy his own integ- rity and produce an elaborate fic- tion." . ,

"if anything is surprising to me," he observed. "it is that so many of our soldiers-both those who confessed and those who did not, although for months they were treated like animals or worse - somehow continued to act through- out like men."

Dr. Mayo said the Communists accused 107 captured fliers of en- gaging in bacteriological warfare. 01 these. 11 are listed as missing Ihlf I9?'I!9-lI1I0ll:'.lN.19e'1-:tH!.Sli4 1.10” say how theyldled. said 40 refused to sign anything. but 30' signed under duress.

He called Dr. Mayo's statement ”a lie and a slander which we re- pudiate." 3

U. S.vFish import Case Concludes

WASHINGTON, (AP)-The U3- tarlff commission took under con- sideration Monday an import quote on fresh and frozen fish fillets after hearing five day! of argu- ments for and against the PTO- posal. .

The New England fishing in- dustry, supported by Pacific north- west interests. insisted that unless there is a quota. limitation based

ere are many dealt. on a percentage of domestic con- projccti and alterna- sumption they will go out of bus-

iness. . Importers, represented by the American Seafood Distributors As- sociation. contended that imports are not the principal problem be- selling the domestic producers and that rather than solve domestic difficulties quotas would aggravate a developing fillet shortage and penalize the U. 5. consumer.

The commission has until May if to make a recommendation to the president or announce its reas- ons for failure to act on the New England fishery industry's plea for quotes. The president then has 60 days to act on the commissions recommendations. if any. or to re- port to Congrms they did not act.

The radio said von Paulua will take up residence in the soviet oc- cupation sons of. Germany.
