"Another atomic
explosion has occurred within the
Soviet Union appar-—
ently as a part of a

time."

MALENKOV:
Told the
Supreme Soviet that
the US had no "monopoly" on the hydrogen
bomb.
"The USA has
long since lost the
monopoly in the matter
of the production of
atomic bombs...The
government deems it
necessary to report
to the Supreme Soviet
that the US has no
monopoly in the production of the hydrogen bomb either."
