Test Ban:
Progress?

Last January S the United
States delegation at the Geneva
conference on a possible ban on
further nuclear weapons testing
introduced a new problem. Sub
hitting data obtained from un-
foreground testing of nuclear
bombs in Nevada, the Americans
commended that the possibility Of
conducting underground tests in
secret made necessary a re-study
Of detection techniques.
The Soviet Union promptly
charged that the new issue was
being raised solely to prevent or
delay an agreement on a test ban.
Present detection methods, the
Russians declared, had already
been accepted by technical ex-
perts from all three nuclear
powers as adequate. The Soviet
delegation did accept, however,
further studies by the experts of
nuclear explosions in outer space.
Since January, the Russians
have stood fast on their rejection
of special studies of the under
ground test problem. But last
Tuesday, abruptly, the chief So
Wet delegate, Semyon K. Tsarap-
kin, accepted the American pro-
posal. At the 1920 meeting of the
conferees since the Geneva ses-
sions began over a year ago, Mr..
Tsarapkin said the Soviet reversal
was decided upon "in the face of
a clear threat by the United
States" to cause the collapse of
the conference unless the under
ground issue were accepted for
study.
State Department officials, how
ever, were wary of the Soviet
switch. Noting that Mr.. Tsarap-
kin had employed language that

diplomatic crisis is building up in
Laos as serious-and potentially
even more serious-than the mill
tary crisis which dominated the
headlines in August and Septem-
Der. There is every sign that Laos
is being lost to the Western world.
Much of what has happened
since early September is only now
coming to the surface. Here is
the chronological story:
The United Nations sent a fact
finding team to the scene Sep
TENDER 7. When it got there, it
found that the Communists had
covered their tracks so well there
was no conclusive evidence of di-
rect outside aggression.
The U. MS arrival had sent the
Communists scurrying for shelter,
giving the government a tenn
porary respite; but the team was
not authorized to stay, and no
one doubted that as soon as it
left, the peril would reappear.
So diplomats at u. N. headquar-
tiers began casting about for a
device to set up a permanent
U. N. presence" in Laos. This
planning ran into a concrete So
Wet roadblock; there was abso-
lutely nothing doing. The Krem-
lin would not even look the other
way while Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold, on his own au-
thority, sent a deputy to Laos
to take up residence. Mr.. Ham
marskjold refused to act, without
at least tacit Soviet consent.
Opinion in the U. N.
Soundings were taken among
key delegates to the veto-free
U. N. General Assembly to see
whether a two-thirds majority
could be obtained there, overrid-
ing Soviet opposition. But many

Designed to blast hoodlums,

simultaneously curb anti-union
activities by some employers-the
new law in effect sounds this
