A-Bun Talks

GENEVA, Nov. 3 (AP).-The
Soviet Union abruptly agreed
today to an East-West scien-
tlf1c reappraisal of methods for
policing underground nuclear
blasts.
The move was a complete re-
versal of the Soviet position in
the three-power negotiations
for a nuclear test ban. The
United States and Britain had
tried since early this year to
persuade the Soviet Union that
much of the scientific data on
which the talks are based is
now out of date and should be
re-examined.
Secretary of State Christian
A. Herter and British Foreign
Minister Selwyn Lloyd told So
Wet Foreign Minister Andrea
Gromyko here last July that a
scientific denomination of I'M
foreground blast data was es-
sential before any further prog
ress would be made in the
test ban talks.
Mr.. Gromyko fatty refused
to consider any re-examina-
ton. asserting that the West
ern demand was a device to
delay agreement on a test ban

Britain Acts
To Soften
ImportCurbs

Britain today announced
plans to relax import restric-
tons that have been in effect
for 20 years.
Import licensing regulations
covering most countries trading
with Britain, including the
United States, will be "sub-
stantially suspended" in the
near future, the British gov
eminent announced.
The action, which may spur
other free-world countries to-
ward a further lowering of
trade barriers, was made pos
sible by Britain's improving
balance-of-trade position and
the healthy state of the pound
sterling.
Record Balance Noted
Britain has had an export
surplus in its trade with the
United States in the last IL
months, the first time she has
sold more than she has bought
from us since Civil War days.
The licensing restrictions
which are being suspended
were introduced at the start of
World War II.
Nothing could be imported
without a license, which gave
the government control over
the withdrawal of funds from
the Bank of England for for
eign purchases.
In the postwar years, Amer
lean aid enabled Britain to buy
abroad, with the licensing regu-
lations employed to insure that
aid funds were spent only on
essential goods.
Details Due Tomorrow
Details of the suspension will
be announced in Parliament
tomorrow. The move follows a
series of measures taken by
Britain in the last two years
toward the relaxation of trade
restrictions.
Discriminatory restrictions on
imports of most consumer
goods and processed foodstuffs
were ended last June. They
had been terminated in Sep
TENDER, 1858, on raw materials,
basic foodstuffs and most ma
chinery items.
The primary purpose of the
restrictions was to protect the
British pound by guarding
against a drain of funds to
other countries selling goods in
Britain. Many countries re-
sorted to such curbs during and
latter World War II.

Justices Hear
Union Attack
On Injunction
Goldberg Quizzed
On Criticism of
Health Concept
BY LEE M. COIN
Star Stan Writer

The Supreme Court today
questioned union counsel close
ly on whether an injunction
should send 100000 steel strik-
ers back to work for 80 days.
Arthur ]. Goldberg, general
counsel for the United Steel
workers of America, argued be-
fore the court that the Gov
ernment's concept Of national
health and safety" is too broad.
He commended it is erroneous
for the Government to equate
"health" with economic we'll
being" Under the aft-Hart-
ley Act, the courts can enjoin
a strike only If the national
health or safety IS imperiled.
Under the statute, Mr.. Gold
berg said, health means physi-
cal health as affected by sup
plies of food, medicine and
fuel. The steel strike has not
created shortages in these
areas, he said.
Disputes Reading Of Law
Justice Harlan suggested
that Congress used the term
national health" as a short
hand way Of saying national
well-being."
Mr.. Goldberg disputed this
reading Of the law.
AS for national safety, he
said the strike has not i'm
periled the defense program.
Even if there is a shortage Of
steel for defense, he said, a
small segment of the steel in
dustry could supply require
ments. An industry-wide in
junction is not necessary, he
maintained.
Other justices also questioned
Mr.. Goldberg on the meaning
OF national health and safety
as he lead off oral arguments
on the unions appeal from an
injunction issued and upheld
by lower courts.
Stresses Opinion
Mr.. Goldberg emphasized
repeatedly that President
Eisenhower, in his orders and
statements directing that the
Taft-Hartley proceedings be in
voked. only gave an opinion
not a finding of fact as lawyers
understood it-that the nation
al health and safety would be
imperiled by continuation of
the stoppage.
Justice Frankfurter COM
mented that the President was
dealing with the future and
therefore had to be offering
only an opinion.
Citing legislative history, Mr..
Goldberg said Congress reject
ed a board concept of Govern
ment action to stop strikes in
the national interest" and
deliberately voted for the mar
row concept of health and
safety"
He argued forcefully but
without dramatic fourishes be-
fore a packed courtroom. Sew
eral hundred spectators lined
up outside the courtroom for a
chance to watch the proceed
ings.
