Decided Against Bomb Halt 10 Days Ago, Dulles Says
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles disclosed today that the United States recently decided against halting nuclear tests so it could perfect development of small "clean" nuclear weapons.
Mr. Dulles, at his weekly news conference, also denounced as pure propaganda Russia's announcement Monday that it is halting nuclear testing on its own without an international agreement providing for inspection.
He said the decision was made at a meeting of President Eisenhower and his top advisers about 10 days ago.
In Washington, the Senate called up for debate today another anticrecession measure, a bill aimed at pumping one billion dollars in federal funds into local public works projects.
It was felt in the administration that Russia had no commitment to provide for inspection and thus the announcement was simply propaganda.
It would provide an expanded program of federal loans for construction and repair of streets, bridges, airports, sewers and other community facilities.

Senate sources said the proposed legislation has a priority label and
the Senate will remain in session until completing action on it today.
Meanwhile, President Eisenhower was under growing pressure to make a decision this month on an anti-recession tax cut.
Government experts predicted as a distinct possibility today that the federal deficit will rise to between two and three million dollars this fiscal year ending July 1.
The insistence of House Speaker Sam Rayburn and Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell conflicted with the advice of high administration officials that the President could wait until late May when he has a full picture of the economic conditions,
The officials also said the President will undoubtedly have to ask the administration for another increase in the federal debt to accommodate a rising deficit in fiscal year 1959 which begins in July.
