5 (AP) — The Soviet l . ' i i ionexploded a big nuclear I jonibli i^h in (he a l iL iGr .phcrc to-day.

Estimates Di f fe rSwedish scientists estimated it

to bo in Ihe 40-megaton range,second only to (he Soviet 50-met-a tonner set off last f a l l .

A Norwegian scientist said hisInstruments showed only tha t itwas smaller than that one. andU.S. off icials would say only lha tit was "in ine megaton range."

The Japanese meteorologicalagency estimated the blast to bein the 20-mcpaton range.

Whatever the size, the blastcarried out Premier Khrushchev'sthreat to resume testing in re-taliation for U.S. Pacific tests.

Uppsala university 's Seismolo-gies! inslitute. which classed theblast as in the range of 41) mil-lion tons of TNT. said it occurredat a higher altitude than the So-viet scries of 1961, whichcl imaxed by the superbomb.

REPORTED SOVIET NUCLEAR BLAST SITE -"pates Soviet atomic testing ground on island of Novaj'a Zcmlyain Siberia where Russia exploded a big nuclear bomb high inIhe atmosphere yesterday according to Uppsala university'sSclsmologicat Ins t i tu te in Uppsata, Sweden. Swedish scientistsestimated it to be in the 40-megaton range, second only to theSoviet 50-mcgaton set off last year.

Recordings at the inst i tute in-dicated the lest was carried outat the Soviet atomic testingpround on the island of NovayaZemlya, in Siberia about 1.350miles east of Uppsala.

U. S. Deplores BlastIn Washington, the Stale de-

parlment deplored Soviet re-sumption of atmospheric testingas a "somber episode." In Japanonly nalion to feel the wrathof an atomic bomb in wartimea government spokesman saidthe new Soviet testing "is re-grettable for world peace."

The big blast appeared to havekicked off a new round of So-viet mil i tary maneuvers in thefar north, designed among otherth ings to test new nuclear wea-pons.

The Soviet Foreign ministryrefused to comment on the re-"*port of a ne\v lest, and t i g h tsecurity blanketed (he mili tarymaneuvers in the Arct ic circle.The Soviet government announc-ed two weeks ago. however, thatland, sea and air maneuverswould begin today.

New Series OrderedThe announcement followed a

Soviet government's statementthat it had ordered a new ser-ies of nuclear weapons tests.

The Soviet defense ministrysaid the troops would "conductmaneuvers with the actual useof various types of modern wea-pons."

Western m i l i t a r y experts saidnew tactical weapons would pro-bably be tried out under ba t t l e -field conditions du r ing the 11-week period, as wel l as a seriesof exper imenta l nuclear blasts.

They said the Soviet Union isbelieved to have trailed the Unit-ed States in the development ofcompact nuclear weapons for itsground forces. Such weaponsIiave probably been perfected bynow and are ready for trainingexercises in the f ie ld , they said.

Further tests of the Russians'newly developed counterpart tothe U. S. Polaris missile alsoare expected. Soviet Nuclear sub-mar ines equipped with underwa-ter rocket launching devices

15 Tons of TNT SeenHanging A b o v e YouTOKYO, (Monday,) Aug. 6—

(AP) The newspaper Asahisaid today every man, womanand child in the world has Iheequivalent of 15 tons of TNTin nuclear explosive powerhanging over his head.

Commenting on the 17th an-niversary of the atomic bomb-ing of Hiroshima, Asahi de-clared:

"If the thin s t r ing holdingthis sword of Damocles breakssomeday, somewhere due toaccident or miscalculation, itwi l l be Ihe end."

The paper estimated theUnited Stales has 30.000 mega-tons of nuclear weapons andthe Soviet Union an arsenal of15.000 megatons.

The total is equivalent to 45billion tons of TNT. Since theworld's population is aboutthree billion, "it means tha t 15Ions of TNT hangs over thehead of every man and wo-man, old and young," Asahisaid.

The (wo great powers' esti-mated total nuclear arsenal isequivalent to 2.250,000 bombsof the size dropped on Hiro-shima in 1945, the paper said.

IBritain's position is that El All

brought Soblen 10 London andshould complete the trip. Israelsays Britain has no right to tellEl Al what to do.

In London, informed sourcessaid Bri ta in intends to hold toits position and will not handover Soblen to El Al unless theairline agrees to fly him to theUnited States.

The communique said the cabi-net agreed that:

1. The original order to ejectSoblen from Israel st i l l stands.

2. In view of Ihe fact that itwas an Israeli plane which tookSoblen to Br i ta in , the Israel gov-ernment feels obliged to takehim out again if Britain insistson this.

3. An Israeli plane will lakeSoblen to Israel onry, and underno circumstances to the UnitedStates.

The unanimous cabinet decisionwas reached after hearingport by Foreign Minister

a re-Mrs.

Golda Meir. It was relayed toBritish Ambassador Patrick Han-cock.

Soblen's Tel Aviv lawyer. Dr.Ari Ankorion, welcomed the Is-rael government's "decision toright the wrong which it did toSoblen and not to extradite himto the United States."

Saying Soblen may return byThursday, Ankorion announced hefirst will ask Israel authorities
