Possible Revision
Recently there have been in

If President Eisenhower's as

on testing would have to be pre-
coded by outlawing nuclear war
this envisages a new step be-

The other intermediate step
relating to limitation or suspen-

as q part Of the overall first

ending tests. or could immedi-

40 Fomilies Evucuute

SHREVEPORT. La, June
P1.-About 40 families eyacu-
ated their homes today as the
lowlands of Red River Parish
braced for a second round with
floods.
The swollen Red River surged
higher as so volunteers busily
repaired damage on levees in
the Creighton East Point area
during last months flooding.
The constant pounding Of water
had softened the levees. In adj
dition. backwaters had seeped
behind the levees.

ing issue as soon as 1t can get
agreement from the allies in
London.
Whether the Soviet Union
would accept any Of these modest
limitations on nuclear testing,
instead of the empty declaration
of a complete ban, is still very
much in doubt.
Soviet Communist Party Leader
Nikita Khrushchev, in his Amer
lean television appearance last
Sunday. spurned the idea of adj
vance notice, registration and in
ternational observation of tests.
He said these would not reduce
the hazard.
Limiting or suspending the
tests would.
Complete Ban Unlikely
Whether the hazard could be
lessened enough to evoke a ia
vorable Soviet response is some
thing Mr.. StasSen will try to find
out in London.
Prospects for a complete halt
to testing, however. probably will
be dim for a long time. Mean
while, there likely will remain
the gnawing worry over health
hazards from test-explosion fall
out.
The Soviet propaganda picnic
will continue whether or not the
fallout hazard is slightly reduced.
The administration realizes
this, and has in recent weeks
bestirred itself again to put its
complicated case before the
American people and the peoples
Of the world.

positions on control

DISARMAMENT IN PERSPECTIVE
America May Propose

nitely to be a target for criti-
cism. from Japan, India. the
Soviet Union. from large group
of conscience-stricken American
scientists and political foes.
Our military leaders are not
expected to agree to any per-
manent ban on tests until they
are assured that our nuclear
advantage over the Soviet Union
is permanent. And as long as
there are some tests. there will
be some. fallout. and some dan
ger from radioactive fallout. But
there possibly could be some
first-step agreement that would
reduce the fallout hazard.
The official Soviet and Amer
lean positions on nuclear testing
are at this moment still far
apart.
Soviet Position
Soviet Premier Nikolai Bull
ganin stated it in one para
graph in his November II letter
to President Eisenhower:
"As a first step Coward ban
ming nuclear weaponS) to cease
Immediately the testing Of
atomic and hydrogen bombs.
In the April 80 Soviet proposal
at London, a request was made
that the nuclear testing issue
be singled out from the general
problem Of atomic and hydrogen
weapons, as a measure of high
priority" 1t is advisable, the
Soviet delegate said. Ito solve
| it without delay"
Specific measures on testing
were not mentioned. The de-
mand for a fiat ban on use Of
atomic weapons for military
purposes was repeated. however.
and this probably would cover
tests.
But Moscow asked only for a
declaration announcing the ban,
and made no provision for ef-
fectively enforcing it.
American Position
The United States delegate.
Harold E. Stassen. tabled the
position that had been an
nounced at the United Nations
in January:
If an arrangement Ito control
the future production Of fission-
able material can be negotiated
and put into effect it would then
be possible. in a secure manner.
to limit, and ultimately to elimi-
nate all nuclear test explosions.
The United States proposes that
this be done. Pending the nego-
tiation of such an agreement,
the United States is also willing
to work out promptly methods
for advance notice and registra-
ton Of all nuclear tests and to
provide for limited international
observation of such tests, This

| international inspectors. how
ever. Some American scientists
believe that the nuclear weap-
ons art has now advanced to the
stage where future tests can be
made with miniature models
These would be harder to moni-
tor.
The United States is now per-
fecting techniques Of reducing
fallout, and this introduces an
other handicap for monitors,
which depend heavily on radio
active particles in the atmos-
Iphere to signal occurrence Of ex-
plosions.
President Eisenhower said last
week that I'VE have reduced the
fallout from bombs by nine
Itenths." What American scien-
lists can do Soviet scientists can
also do. Monitoring Soviet tests
may become more difficult.
Ultimate Goal Far OF
If there we're only limitation.
not suspension of testing. each
side could presumably continue
tests in the areas they consider
most vital.
Atomic Energy Commissioner
Willard F. Libby may have been
indicating a preference for limi-
tation instead Of suspension in
his statement Thursday to the
Joint Atomic Energy subcom-
Imittee in Congress.
He said such steps as "cessa-
ton or interruption Of testing
!. should only be taken as a
part of a comprehensive disarma-
ment plan" The word "compre-
hensive" has become a label for
the far-off total disarmament the
world dreams Of, to be preceded
by the first-stage agreement and
by reunification of Germany.
Mr.. Libby adds: I'm the mean
time. we as a nation should con-
tinue to limit our test shots to
those essential to our develop
Iment program for the weapons
so vital-in the absence Of safe
guarded disarmament-to assur-
ing the survival OF the Free
World. We should continue by
all possible means our efforts to
reduce the amount of residual
contamination from these fully
justified shots"
Public Pressure Mounts
Perhaps influenced by the pres
sure Of public opinion in this
country. the Administration is
likely to make whatever conces-
sions It can on the nuclear test

ment Subcommittee talks in

Since the negotiations started
in March, Britain. France, Can
ada, the Soviet Union and the
United States have gone over the
seven-point agenda once, stat
ing their opening positions.
They are expected to start
over again soon, with nuclear
testing again at the top Of the
list.
Source of Embarrassment
The test issue has been a prime
propaganda piece for the Soviet
Union and a constant source of
embarrassment for the United
States. both in this country and
abroad.
The Soviet Union demands a
stop to all nuclear tests as a
first step toward reversing the
deadly arms race.
The United States until re-

duction has been halted and a

Last week. however. President
Eisenhower put a total" halt on
atomic testing still further of
until there is a total and eff

atomic weapons in war.

American view. because one
could not enforce the ban. Nu-
clear weapons of terrible de-
structive power can easily be
hidden from inspectors - even
though they pass as close as 100
yards from them.
Danger Is Disputed
The United States is on the
difficult side of a humanitarian
issue: Radioactive fallout from
tests could be a danger to future
generations. How big a danger
