Out of 343 freshmen enrolled in Red A-Test Rejected by WASHINGTON (/P) —The United States rejected yester day Russia’s invitation to join in halting nuclear tests with out bothering to check up on each other. In diplomatic tones, the State Department called the Kremlin move so much propaganda hot air, whose only aim was to wilt Western defense. The uncompromising rejec tion of this bid was balanced somewhat by an olive branch approach to* a summit confer ence. The department made public. a Western Big Three note to the Kremlin which, for the first time, leaned toward the Russian formula for pre summit talks. Nikolai Bulganin’s last note as Soviet Premier to President Ei senhower on Feb. 28 emphasized that any pre-summit foreign mini sters meeting must be strictly limited to fixing an agenda, time, place and roster of participants at the summit. This was rejected many times by Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles and formally snub bed in the U.S. memo March 6 to Moscow. But Monday's U.S.-British- French note pointedly omitted words like "negotiate" and "substantive." It substituted "preparatory work" and "ex amine the position" for "nego tiate." And it emphasized, as far as dealing with substantive matters went, that no decisions were sought at below-summit level. ft offered to start Big Four Ambassadorial talks in Moscow in late April And it said “the foreign ministers, assuming they have concluded the preparatory work to their satisfaction, would reach agreement on the date and place of the summit meeting and decide on its composition.” Reaction to Russia’s announced plan to suspend nuclear tests came from two leading House members of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, Chairman Dur ham (D-NC) and Rep. Van Zandt (R-Pa). Both called the Russian proposal a phony. The official U.S. statement raised this question: "W.h y should the world place confi dence in new Soviet engage ments?" Russia could hardly expect the free world to surrender its fight ing capacity, the statement added, “merely in reliance on a Soviet statement of intentions for which there is no system of verification, which can be evaded in secrecy and altered at will.” The thing for Russia to do, the United States said, is to tackle disarmament “in an orderly way” —that is, by ending its boycott of United Nations efforts toward dis armament.
