On Atomic Test Policy

New evidence Of the remark
able effectiveness of seismo-
graphs in detecting small
underground nuclear explosions
increased pressure on the adj
nlinistration today to modify
It's opposition to an uncondi-
tional ban on nuclear weapons
tests.
Twenty eight seismologicaI
stations. one of them about
$3.50 miles away. detected the
deep underground shot at the
Nevada test site last September,
according to information sup
piled to Senator Humphrey,
Democrat of Minnesota, chair
man Of the Senate Disarma-
ment Committee.
Senator Humphrey yesterday
sharply rebuked the Atomic
Energy Commission for at first
reporting that $50 miles was
the maximum distance" at
which the underground test had
been detected.
Acc C0rrects Reports
After this March 6 report, the
Acc put out a correction Mon
day saying that seismological
stations of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey as
far away as College (near
Fairbanks, Alaska, about 1890
miles from the shot mesa, re-
corded the earth waves.
Among the % detecting sta
tions, Senator Humphrey said
nine located more than ESQ
miles from the explosion site
had a recording in a manner
sufficiently clear so that an
accurate determination could
be made in location in space
and time"
Another 10 stations detected
the explosion but their records
were rather poor or marginal, -
the Senator said.
Eighteen stations repeatedly
recorded good detection" OF
the test: In California at Berke-
ley, China Lake Fresno, Pale
Alto, Paloma, Pasadena, River
side. Shasta and Tiniamahaha
in Colorado at Bolder City,
Kings Ranch, Mount Hamilton
Woody and Laramie; in Arizona
at Tuscon: in Nevada at Eureka
and Reno. and in Utah at Salt
Lake City.
poor Detection" Shots
Poor detection" was re-
corded at stations in College,
Alaska; Victoria, British Co
lurnbia; Corvallis, Greg, Rapid
City. S. OAK; Butte. Hungry
Horse and Bozeman, Mont.
Fayetteville, Ark; and Bolder
and Mineral. Colo. A Dallas,
Tex. recording was said to be
questionable"
Senator Humphrey said only
the st. Louis station. some
l,400 miles away, produced a
definitely negative" report.
Quality of Instrumentation at
the detection sites varies con-
siderably, CGS officials point
out.
The seismograph near Fair

sensitive instrument and indi-

I its seventh vote since WedneS-
day. Other substitute meas
ures. including the Senate plan
which did not raise the sales
| tax rate. suffered overwhelm
ing defeats in the House.
On the last two previous
votes supporters of the sales
tax plan, despite heavy pressur-
ing of fellow delegates, had
been able to muster only IS
votes.
Farm Machinery Exempted
In its final form the bill was
amended to exempt farm ma
chinery from the sales tax in
crease to win needed support
on the Eastern Shore.
The victory. however, came
only after Democratic guber-
material candidate j. Millard
TaweS stepped publicly into
the picture in an effort to break
the deadlock.
Mr.. Tawes yesterday issued
| a public statement urging the
Legislature to adopt 1.-The Re-
publican tax program"
The statement came as q
climax to a day of conferences
between Mr.. Tawes. who is the
Controller of the Treasury. and
Democratic legislative leaders
1t was a day that also saw
many delegates buttonholed by
Democratic leaders and the
Governor himself in an all-out
effort to break the impaSse.
Mr.. Tawes conceded that the
program might work some
hardships. He said, however
that if nominated he would ap-
point a non-political commits
sion to make study of the
States revenue sources and the
possible effect of the new tax
program.
Switch Sales Tax Votes
Six delegates from Mr.. Tawes'
Eastern Shore switched their
votes last night and with the
aSSigta nee of Republican
changes from Western Mary
land pushed the sales tax bill
through the House.
t Fifteen of the Remember
shore delegation voted for the
program and IL of the 25 Re-
publicans in the House sup
ported it.
On the first tests the Senate
voted 1873 to accept the plan

appearance before the subcom-
mittee Is days ago, when
Chairman Harris demanded his
resignation. He quit three days
later.
Recalls No Pressure
Under gentle questioning by
Mr.. Harris, Mr.. Mack said he
recalled no attempts to pressure
or influence him on any case
other than channel 10-where
he insisted requests for special
consideration had no effect.
Explaining his inability to
identify the 1886 Mr.. Moss
said Mr.. Mack had deposited
in his bank account since 1855,
Mr.. Mack said he lacked
records and was unable to
spend money to examine bank
microfilms.

know. I'm unemployed" he
remarked.
In several references to the
FEC, the ex-commissioner
started to say I'VE have" then
corrected his slip to they
have" 81
He was sure about one point:
The $7,986 was not income, and
therefore would not show up on
his tax returns.
Subdued but nevertheless
friendly, Mr.. Mack OBVIOUSLY
was nervous today. He chain
smoked.
Thanked by PrObers
Several members of the sub
committee thanked him for his
cooperation and expressed
sympathy for him and his fam
| ily. Representative O'Hara. Re-
publican of Minnesota, told Mr..
/ Mack he believed he voted on
the merits of the channel 10
case as he saw them.
Its been a pretty rough
DEAL" Mr.. Mack commented.
He admitted he probably
would abstain from voting on
the channel 10 case if he had
it to do over again. But he de-
cided to vote because Il was
being paid to vote by the Gov
eminent. and not just to sit
there and refuse to participate. I"
Representative Mack, Demo-
crat of Illinois, who is not re-
lated to the ex-commissioner,
tried to link him to George
C. McConnaughey. former FEC
chairman.
EX-ComnliSSioner Mack said
he did not know Mr.. McCon-
naughey very well before APP
pointment to the FEC in 1855.
Asked About Other Gases
Chairman Harris asked Mr..
Mack specifically whether he
had been presumed in connec-
ton with FEC decisions on
cases in Jacksonville, Fla, Bos-
ton, Indianapolis and Sacra-
mento, Calf. Mr.. Mack said he
had not.
He added that he had no
personal knowledge of pres
sure on other members of the
FEC in any case.
Mr.. Mack reiterated that he
favored legislation to protect
regulatory agencies from out
side influence Its pretty
hard to slam the door on a
friend" he said, referring men,
bers Of the subcommittee to
their own experience with con-
stituents.

detecting underground nuclear
blasts.
Coast and Geodetic officials
said seismographs in Mexico
and other points in the Mid
west had also detected the UNI
derground explosion.
No stations on the East Coast
recorded the shot.
| Harold e. Stassen, former ad-
wiser to the President on dis
armament. told Senator Hum
phrey,s committee recently the
very small nuclear shot" called
Rainier was recorded in every
seismic instrument. within "a
thousand miles"
Scientists disagree about
the possibility of detecting all
underground nuclear tests.
Sees Cheating Possible
DR.. Edward Teller. a leading
developer Of the hydrogen bomb.
believes the Soviet Union could
cheat" on any agreement to
ban nuclear weapons tests UNI
less an impractical number of
inspectors were admitted to the
Soviet Union. Other scientists
believe the risk of Soviet cheat
ing would be so small it could
be taken.
The administration is under
stood to have under considera-
ton several proposals for modi-
flying its disarmament policies.
One change under discussion is
to accept the Soviet demand for
a two or three-year ban on nu-
clear weapons tests without
any commitment to stop nu-
clear weapon production.
French and British opposi-
ton to this plan last year
caused the United States to in
sist on linking the test and pro-
duction bans in its proposals to
the Soviet Union for f1rst-step
disarmament agreement.
The Soviet Union agreed last
year to allow international in
spection to enforce a nuclear
weapons test ban in the Soviet
Union, but no clear indication
of how many inspection sites
she would allow was ever made
public.
Mr.. StasSen set IL as a max
imum, others prefer 20.
Detection Check
One of the purposes of the
Nevada test inside a volcanic
rock mesa was to check the
ability of inspectors to detect
lit.
If a small shot could be de-
tected only $50 miles away. the
number of inspectors needed
to cover the vast Soviet land
mass probably would have ex-
lceeded the number the Soviet
Union would admit or the West
could supply.
Senator Humphrey said the
Acc error, published almost
six months after the test, lis
indeed confusing to the public
to say the least. 1t gives the
impression that scientific facts
are being used by someone to
prove a political point. a dam
Egerous concept to perpetuate
in our efforts to work out eff
fective arms control asree-
ments."
