He said that obviously some savings could be made by a cease- fire, but he argued against any overall cutbacks such as would save the four billions many Repub- licans want to cut off the military budget. Soviets Fire Key Official In “Doctors’ Plot” MOSCOW (~The Soviets have fired a key Communist party of-} ficial for failing to deteet the fal- sity of the “doctors” plot” charges, | Pravda announced’ today.. He is Semyon D. Ignatiev, a member of | the party's five-man Secretariat. The official party newspaper said that Ignatiev, who was given the Secretariat post only a month ago had been “released from his du ties.” Pravda disclosed yesterda: that he had headed the Security | Ministry during the time when the charges against the 15 doctors were being prepared. (Western observers speculated that the attack on such a ranking leader as Ignatiev might indicate a coming purge within the Krem- lin itself.) The government announced last Friday that the doctors had been released after an — investigation proved charges against them were false. They had been accused of killing two Soviet leaders and ica Litigation Over Truce In Korea Will Mean Movie Stock Deal LOS.

The device, dropped from a plane, was detonated more than 5,000 feet above the Yucca Flat on the Nevada Proving Grounds. It was powerful enough to give Las Vegas a sharp, noisy crack and break a big window in a downtown market, 75 miles from blast point. It was so high that it didn’t stir up the desert dust. The stemless atomic cloud rose within minutes to 40,000 or 50,000 feet and was whisked away in a southeasterly direction of high-al- step up hours because of possible radio- activity danger, but below that level flying was unrestricted after the blast.
