When properly controlled, underground tests create no fallout hazard. State Department officials privately have been taking the same line--saying that the United States could not afford to jeopardize its military security by prolonging a test ban without Soviet acceptance of an inspection agreement. Whether the Pesident would actually be willing to break off the Geneva talks and order a resumption of testing in advance of the summit meeting with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev is, however, extremely doubtful.
