that leveled Hiroshima but it is
weak in comparison to some of
this country's hydrogen' bombs,
rated at 20 million tons of TNT
power.
It was understood that the first
two shots at equatorial Christmas
Island involved a research and
developnient device which is es
sentially,la warhead, rather than
a finished atomic weapon. In
formed sources had placed the
power of:the;leadoff device at be
tween 100,000 and 500,000 tons of
TNT.
THE PLANES USED in the first
tests Probably were 852 -or 847'
bombers, indicating the explosion
may have occurred relatively low,
below 30,000 feet. Later shots
around Johnston Island, south
west of Hawaii, will include some
at-high altitudes ranging from 30
to several hundred miles above
the Pacific—propelled by missiles.
: These first two shots are the
overture to a whole symphony of
nuclear experiments—some three
zen shots over the next two
onths—to improve the efficiency
of U.S. nuclear weapons.

THE MAJOR. 'demonstration '
yesterday—relatively small, how
ever—was in Tokyo. where some
2,000 Japanese students tried to
force their way Into the U.S.
Embassy. In a noisy clash with
Japanese police s they were beaten
back in kicking, shoving brawls.
There were demonstrations in
some other Japanese cities, but
they, took the , form of orderly
parades. • -
The United States contends the
tests are necessary, after the So
viet nuclear explosions last fall,l
in view of the failure of the nu-,'

on an inspection test ban.
Phone System
Changes Set
Beginning in September, 1963,
students living in residence halls
will be able to, place telephone
Icalis to the local dialing commu
nity at no charge, Wilmer E. Ken
'worthy, executive assistant to the
!President, said yesterday.
Kenworthy released a state
ment from President Eric A.
Walker which said:
"For some time I have been
concerned that students living - in
the residence halls could 'rot use
their telephones to • make off
campus calls. Recently I directed
Stanley Campbell, vice presi
dent for business; to find some
arrangement to correct this mat
ter.
"Beginning with the fall term.
1963, students will be able to make
calls, at no charge, from residence
halt telephones to University,
Adams; Elgin and Homestead ex
changes."
An agreement has been reach4lld.
Campbell said, with the telephone
company to make the necessary
changes at an almost neglible cost.
The arrangement Was reached
during the latter part of March,
he added.
Under the new system, students
will have to dial "9" before dial
ing the off-campus number.
Long distance'Aelephone calls
will not be permitted from resi
dence hall telephones, Campbell
said.
