On Sunday Open Stores

Mr.. Fitzgerald explained The
legal definitions of the law and
commented:
1T can no doubt be shown
that many of the places of
business now remaining open
on Sunday do so because of the
economic factors involved and
that such is acceptable in our
community, the customs. habits
and practices being what they
are"
He went on to explain that
the State Supreme Court has
said:
while the word necessity
is elastic and relative the
elasticity should not be ex-
tended so far as to cover that
which is merely desirable and
not reasonably essential"
Mr.. Fitzgerald concluded
that ''as regards the recent ar
rests for violations of the SUM-
day Closing Law, it is my po-
sition that these and any like
businesses being conducted or
Sunday do not fall within any
exclusion Of our Sunday Closing
Law, and must. of course. be
prosecuted"

Even by conventional power
standards it is significant. The

A s2.l billion housing bill to-
day got a sample from the
House Rules Committee Of the
pounding it will face if and
when cleared for floor debate.
Although the House version
would cost about $500 million
less than the bill passed blythe
Senate last February, 1t was
severely attacked by both COM
|mittee Democrats and Republi-
cans in discussion Of the bill.
Chairman Smith, Democrat
of Virginia called it extremely
confusing and costly.
1t was denounced by Rep
resentative Allen Of Illinois,
the committees ranking Re-
publican, as a reckless, extrav-
agant program that would ex-
pand Federal activities that
ought to be returned largely
to private enterprise.

one witness today, Chairman

mittee.
He defended the House bill
as being moderate and essential,
He commended it not only would
provide needed public housing,
slum clearance and a program
for housing of elderly people,
but also would stimulate private
industry. He said that it would
add only about 500 million to
the Federal budget for the next
fiscal year.

hearing until next Wednesday
or Thursday. Mr.. Smith de-
clared he was mot disposed to

floor for debate tomorrow.
Principal measure in the
package is one setting up local
pupil assignment powers with
appeals to a State Placement
Board Of Appeals. 1t cleared
the committee by a vote Of 9
to 8.
Three significant amend
ments were added, however:
/. Any locality could exempt
itself from the Statewide APP
peals procedure, by q resolution
Of its governing body and on
recommendation of the local
school board.

school boards would have To
complete assignments Of stu
dents to specified schools was
moved back, for this year only,

was to allow added time for

virtually no opposition. They
would:

cities to adopt budgets on an

or monthly basis. This would
allow them to meet fast

2. Authorize payment Of tu-

West Suggests
Limited Ban
On A-Tesis
Would Stort With
Embargo on Any
Surface Blasts

GENEVA, April ID NAFl.--
The United States and Britain
asked the Soviet Union today
to agree to a prompt controlled
suspension of nuclear weapons
tests on or near the surface of
the earth--leaving the problem
Of other types Of blasts for later
negotiations.
Informants said the proposal
provided for splitting up the
test suspension problem. It was
advanced as the three-puwer
talks resumed after an Easter
recess.
First Soviet reaction was
negative.
Under the new Western plan,
agreement would be reached at
once on banning surface nu-
clear tests = the ones which
cause dangerous radioactive
fallout.
Subsequent Agreement
Such an agreement would not
cover very high altitude and
underground atomic and hydro
gen weapons blasts. Such ex-
posions-dificult to police in
any event-could be covered in
some subsequent agreement
reached after the first prob
lem had been solved.
United States Ambassador
James j. Wadsworth and Brit
ish Minister of State David
Ormsby- Gore proposed dividing
the nuclear problem into two
parts with the idea of getting
quick agreement on the types
of tests easiest to detect. The
ending Of such tests also would
minimize any health hazards to
the worlds population.
The sources pointed out that
the United States and Britain
would prefer an agreement
covering the entire range of
tests. But the Western powers
recognized that this CONFER
ence. which began its delibera-
tons on October 81, now was
begged down on East-West diff
ferenceS about controls.
FoOlproOf Controls Sought
Presumab bly, the limited
agreement now suggested as a
first step would require less
elaborate policing arrangements
than a total ban. The Western
powers. however, want fool
proof controls built into any
type of agreement they sign.
Soviet Delegate Semyon Tsar-
apkin told reporters after to-
days meeting:
1T is not acceptable, we have
got to stop everything"
Westerners attending the ses-
sion got the impression how
ever, that this was an initial
reaction and that the Soviet
Union would study the new
proposal carefully.
The new American British
plan was described as a phased
operation designed to salvage
something out of the present
conference, and keep the way
clear for ultimate agreement to
ban all types of tests.
Under the proposal tests first
would be banned everywhere
from ground level to an alti-
tude of so kilometers $50 miles,
Underwater tests also Woulc
be banned.
Seeking a Start
Mr.. Wadsworth told report
ers: 1.-THE United States is pre-
pared and prefers to reach
agreement to end all nuclear
tests as soon as the proper con-
troll mechanisms and the pro-
cedures are agreed upon among
us.
IF immediate agreement on
these mechanisms cannot be
reached, due to the position OF
the Soviet Union, we believe
that we can start by agreeing to
end certain tests such as tests
