Nude( r Conference
Reopens in Geneva
GENEVA (MlL—The Big Three nuclear test ban conference
reopened yesterday with a U.S. offer to conduct no under
ground nuclear explosions if the Soviet Union joins in a
coordinated 27-month research program to improve methods
for detecting the cause of underground" disturbances.
The issue of how to detect hid
den nuclear blasts has been
among the chief obstacles in ef
forts by the United States, Britain
and the Soviet Union to reach
agreement to ban nuclear weap
ons tests.
Soviet Delegate Semyon K.
Tsarapkin said he welcomed
the U.S. proposal and would
study it. Sir Michael Wright,
the British delegate, said Brit
ain fully backed the U.S. offer.
Acting U.S. Delegate Charles C.
Stelle, in a move to get the re
sumed negotiations off to a good
start atfer a five-week recess,
said the moratorium would run
concurrently with a two-year co
ordinated research program.
Tsarapkin said he hoped the
proposal does not mean that the
United States intends. to resume
nuclear testing after two years.
He said he felt the moratorium
period offered was too short. but
that he honed a compromise could
be reached.
Stelle expressed American
hopes to Tsarapkin that the So
viet Union would agree soon to
a joint three-power research
program.
Conference sources said he in
idcated the United States may go
ahead with its own program, fail
ing Soviet agreement in the near .
future.
It was not clear whether Stelle
mentioned the earlier announced.
code-named Vela program of nu
clear research blast. But he reit
erated President Eisenhower's as
surance earlier this year that the
United States would- not start
testing without prior announce
ment.

Soviets Back
East Germany
On 'Squeeze'
BERLIN (FP) The Soviet Un
ion yesterday gave full support
to Communist East Germany in
its squeeze on West Berlin and
told the United States to prevent
what it called illegal use of the
air corridors to the isolated city.
The Soviet stand was taken in
a note to the governments of the
United States, Britain and France.
In Washington, the State. De
partment said the Soviet note had
been received and was under
study.
The Soviet note did not repu
diate the four-power status of Ber
lin. Since the end of World War
II the city has been under joint
rule of the Russians and the three
major Western powers.
But it made the situation some
what fuzzier by referring to Ber
lin both as having •four-power
status and as being the capital
of "the East German Democratic
Republic."
Cuban Pilots Worry
U.S. Naval Planes
HAVANA. (.1P) Cuban air
iforce fighter planes are making
passes at U.S. naval aircraft
training over international waters
off Cuba, according to reports
here yesterday.
This may be a campaign of har
assment allied with Prime Minis
ter Fidel Castro's threats to push
the United States out of the his
toric Guantanamo Bay naval base
in eastern Cuba.
Castro told the United Nations
in New York Monday that Cuba
would resort to legal means, only,
in any effort to, dislodge U.S
forces from Guantanamo.
Whether the sweeping passes at
American planes are made
through deliberate orders or. are
simply the work of thrill-seeking
Cuban pilots could not be learned
here.

Nixon Gets
Keys; Ohio
Hails Jack
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The presidential candidates
both had triumphant days yes
terday, Democrat John F.
Kennedy in Ohio and Republi
can Richard M. Nixon in
Tennessee.
Also, Kennedy won the avowed
support of Sen. Frank J. Lausche
of Ohio, a canny judge of political
trends who doesn't always line up
with his fellow Democrats.
Nixon and his wile were
treated to what he called an un•
forgettable sight as Memphis
citizens turned, out in the rain
to welcome them South.
Police Inspector S. C. Legg esti
mated that 60,000 lined the streets
and a crowd of 25,000 listened to
Nixon speak. Legg said the turn
out was twice as big as Kennedy
had last week in fair weather.
Yelling, waving, confetti-toss
ing Clevelanders gave Kennedy
nis second tumultous welcome to
their city this week. The crowd
was rated even bigger than the
estimated throng of 125,000 that
cheered him at a steer roast on
Sunday.
In Cleveland, where the popu
lation contains many with close
ties to Eastern European coun
tries over-run by the Commu
nists, Kennedy declared: "I say
the people of Eastern Europe
do not deserve to be forgotten,
and I say they won't be under
a Democratic administration.
"We must make it clear to all
the world that we will never ac
cept as a final solution Soviet
colonialism in East Europe."

gas mileage, do as others do
fib about it.
