many complexities involved, 1t
is necessary that these ideas be
tested with appropriately de-
signed experiments to deter
mine how large a decoupling
factor can actually be realized
in practice. While many of
these tests can be carried out
with high explosives. complete
evaluation of the theory prob
ably cannot be made without
nuclear explosions. Such tests
may also disclose some char
acteristics which might allow
long-range detection of such
occupied underground tests"
Two Techniques
During the three-year period
OF intensive research proposed
by the panel, 1t was proposed to
concentrate on two techniques
One. the "deep-hole" method
calls for locating seismometers
in holes thousands of feet be-
low the earth's surface. to avoid
the background noise which OBJ
scures seismic signals taken on
the earth's surface. The other
involves use of computors to
reconstruct seismic signals.
The Berkner panel also
studies the capabilities of un-
manned seismic stations used
as auxiliaries to the l80-post
network agreed upon at Geneva
last year.
II unnamed stations were
spaced at l70-kilometer inter-
walls around world areas where
there are many earthquakes,
about SO per cent of the shocks
Of one kiloton or above could be
identified. it was estimated.
The capability would fall to
about rs per cent in the case of
shots on the edges of CONT
nents, the panel estimated.
The panel emphasized the
need to build a complete pro-
totype experimental station
using all the features for Seis-
mic detection recommended by
the Geneva conference of ex-
pertS.
The purpose APPARENTLY would
be to show the Soviet Union as
well as other world experts the
limitations in the system as
contemplated last summer.
Later. the panel suggested, the
station should be expanded to
include facilities recommended
n the report.

Three Missing Items
The only things he proposed
that are missing from the West
ern package, Senator Mansfield
said, are Cd the possible sub
Stitution of West Germans for
the British, French and Amer
lean garrisons in West Berlin:
CD the proposed use of United
Nations conciliatory services to
bring about an interim neutral
ization Of Berlin under inter-
national auspices and 90 his

per year.
The panel concluded. how
ever. that although the differ
ence is seismic signals from
shocks conducted in different
geological environments cannot
be accurately predicted, it i,
possible that some conditions
will yield seismic signals much
smaller than those from shots
in the volcanic rock at the
Nevada test site. In view OF
the uncertainty on this ques-
ton, the panel recommended
that IAN experimental test pro-
gram involving many high ex-
ploSives and some nuclear shots
should be undertaken as soon
as feasible" The progra n
would cost over $50 million in
the first two years.
It called for early action or
four nuclear shots:
!. A 5-kiloton shot in granite
to see the effect on detection in
underground mediums other
than the kinds available at the
Nevada test site.
2. A shot especially rugged
to muffle the seismic signal.
3. Two 5-kiloton shots near
the Nevada site but at appre-
ciably greater depths. (Previ-
GUS Nevada underground nu-
clear tests were conducted at q
depth of about 1000 feet
The panel said that theories
that nuclear tests can be con-
cealed by reducing the size OF
seismic signals should also be
experimentally tested as soon
as feasible.
The panel summarized its
conclusion on concealment of
tests this way:
In considering the posi-
bility that the capabilities, now
or in the future. of the Geneva
system might be reduced by the
intention a concealment of
underground tests. the panel
concluded the decoupling tech
niqueS (for muffling under
ground explosions existed
which could reduce the seismic
signal by factor of 10 or more.
Moreover, preliminary theo-
retical studies have shown that
it is possible in principal to
reduce the seismic signal from
an explosion by a much greater
factor than this.
Nevertheless. in view of the

from now under the Soviet
moratorium plan.
Mr.. Gromyko showed himself
defensive in his response.
| However, he did not appear
to withdraw from any major
Soviet position. including the
one-year deadline. He reas-
serted his governments unwill-
ingness to sign any document
which would mean perpetual
ton of the occupation regime
in West Berlin"
Mr.. Gromyko talked 80 min
utes.
If he sticks to his position
and if the resolve of the West
ern powers does not buckle
the conference will break up
next week without agreement
on either Berlin or a summit
parley.
In a new demonstration Of
solidarity in support of West
Berlin. Mr.. Herter, Mr.. Lloyd
and Mr.. Couve de Murville
went from the meeting to a
luncheon at Mr.. Herter's villa

Door Not Slammed

blasted Western policies on Ber-
lin as "unrealistic and bank
rupt" in a speech at Riga. Lat
via, yesterday. But he did not
slam the door on a possible
change in the Russian stand.
After receiving Mr.. Gromyko's
assurance yesterday that his
stand was not an ultimatum.
the Western ministers agreed to
continue the talks on a day-to-
day basis instead of breaking
them off.

in the United States so it could
fly over to get him quickly if
the conference broke up alb
ruptly. 1t was understood.
however. that he does not
anticipate returning to Wash
ington until the end of next
week. ..
Minimum Accord Seen
Some Western diplomats
speculated that the minimum
Berlin agreement which now
seems misunderstanding the
Russians change their position
would be this:
Both sides would admit an
inability to make any long
range German or Berlin settle
ments now. But they would
agree that their differences
have been narrowed and that
further negotiations are desir-
able. They would pledge that
the Berlin situation would re-
main unchanged while the ne
gotiations are carried on.
This would fall far short of
Western demands for an un-
limited Soviet guarantee of
their occupation rights in Ber-
lin. including freedom to supply
their garrisons. But it would
put on the shelf indefinitely
RusSia's threat to sign a peace
treaty with East Germany,
which would give the satellite
Communist regime control of
the allied supply routes to Ber-
lin.
