Time To Be Kept Secret To Thwart Russian Spying Weapon Improved, Hint, Washington, Nov.

29 (AP) The United States plans to make a new series of atomic weapons tests at Eniwetok in the Pacific. This was made known tonight in a Joint announcement by the Atomic Energy Commission and the Defense Department. The announcement, which said President Truman had been advised of the plan, gave no Indication when the tests would be held. The tests are to determine the efficiency of improved weapons developed since the last experiments at the Eniwetok proving grounds In the spring of 1948. They will be the first A-blasts set off by the United States slnre the world was told last September that Russia had produced an atomic ex-ploslon In her frantic race to catch lip with this nation.

TEXT OF ANNOUNCEMENT. The joint announcement said: "The Department of Defense and the Atomic Energy Commission have advised the President that a new series of tests of atomic weapons is planned at the commission proving ground at Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands. "Full security restrictions as required by the Atomic Energy Act hpply to all aspects of test operations, Including the time of the tests. "As in past atomic weapons projects, the field operations will he carried out by a joint task force, composed of personnel of Army, Navy and Akr Force, and the Atomic Energy Commission. Lieut.

Gen. Elwood R. QucsadM, U. S. A.

will command Joint Task Force 3, which has been formed to carry out the new test program. General Quesada will have as deputies Brig. Gen. Herbert Loper, Army; Rear Adm. Tom B.

Hill, Navy; and Dr. Alvin C. Craves of the Los Alamos scientific laboratory. Chief of Staff is Brig. Gen.

John K. Gerhart, U. S. A. F.

AWARDING OF CONTRACT. "The Commission recently announced a contract with Holmes nd Narver, Los Angeles engineering and construction firm, for maintenance and Improvement of facilities at the Eniwetok proving ground. Military and naval units participating in the current work the proving grounds will be part of Joint Task Force 3." The secrecy about the time of the tests obvlounly Is to make It more difficult for Russia to check on the explosion by means of submarines aircraft. Another possible method of hcrking up is by monitoring instruments which might detect the explosion at great range. Such Instruments probably were used by the United States In detecting the Russian atomic blast last summer.

Today' announcement, taken In light of past statements, gave definite Indication that the weapons to be tested now may be even better thati the three Improved bombs exploded at Eniwetok In 1948. NO FOREIGN OBSERVERS. It was indicated that the experiments would be witnessed only by American military men and scientistswith no foreign observers or the press present. Eniwetok, the proving grounds for the experiments, is in the Marshall Islands, 7,250 miles from Washington, 5,000 miles from San Francisco and less than 4,000 miles from the China coast. Sen.

Edwin C. Johnson, Democrat, Colorado, said earlier this month that United States scientists had developed a bomb with "six times the effectiveness of the bomb we dropped on Nagasaki." The Atomic Commission Itself lias made plain that the reason for A-Bomb tests is to check up on laboratory studies and mathematical computations as development Of better weapons proceeds.
