This would be *5,000,000,000 more than the amount approved by the House. "FANTASTIC” WEAPONS Sen. Milton R. Young (R-ND) said secret testimony concerning “fantastic new secret weapons" could have been a contributing fab tor influencing the (extra boost. His words were cautious. Young called the weapons “even more striking than germ warfare” and said they were not atomic. But he would give no hint and no other comment. Young said President Truman was speaking “authoritatively” when he said at San Francisco Tuesday that the United State is making “fantastic new weapons." “We believe the Russians have refrained from precipitating the world into another conflict because they know we have- the atomic botnbt”' Sen. Joseph O’Mahoney said.

CVjPfoAY AFTERNOON, SEPTEMBER 7, 1951 Conditions Set For Peace Talks TOKYO ((IB)—A meeting on a neutral ship at sea appeared today to provide the only condition under : which either the Communists or the United Nations will agree to , resume, the Korean cease-fire talks, j The Red leaders still were silent i today on the U. N. demand for a new conference site. Their truce team rejected as “unsatisfactory." the latest Allied notes about Kae song neutrality violations. But the Communist delegation made no new protests. NO PESSIMISM, OPTIMISM Failure of the Reds to make an Immediate reply to Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway’s proposal for a new meeting place brought neither pes simism nor optimism here. The of ficial view is that it is up to the Reds to make the move that will either get the talks back on the ! road or end them for good. An answer is certain to come, if only because the -Communists do not want to take the blame for the final'collapse of the talks. A meeting on a neutral ship seemed to oner the only hope for getting talks started again be- I cause no suitable land sites exist. She gave out with a dramatic sketch.
