Policemen Fined
For Non-Report

Second Precinct Pvt. James
S. Phelps was fined $3.50 today
by police trial board for fail
ing to report his suspicious
about a shoeshine parlor on
his beat.
Phelps, a member of the
force since 1850, pleaded guilty
to conduct unbecoming an
officer and failing to obey a
police order.
The policeman said he walked
into the shoeshine shop at 2
am. because the lights were on
in a back room. He said he
felt the place might be a blind
for after-hours liquor sales.
Later, when Phelps superiors
were told he had been seen
there. they checked precinct
books and found no report by
the patrolman.

On Attest Ban
Now Doubted
BY EARL II. VOSS
star star Writer

American officials now believe
the Soviet Union has not made
an important concession in the
|nuclear-test-ban negotiations at
Geneva after all.
Instead. they indicated today,
Moscow has proposed q sham
which would purport to meet
the 10-month American British
demand while actually avoid
ing 1t.
Last Tuesday. Soviet Delegate
Semyon X. Tsarapkin appeared
finally to have agreed that new
technical information showing
increased difficulties in detect
ing underground tests Of nue.
lear weapons should be studied
at an experts conference.
Differ ON Inspections
Ofiicials first assumed the So
Wet Union would be prepared
to relate the experts findings
to the annual limits Premier
Khrushchev proposes setting on
the number of Investigations of
suspicious underground shots to
be permitted in each country.
Up to now Moscow has in
sisted the annual limit should
be set without regard to the
new scientific data. Premier
Khrushchev has spoken as if
four or five inspections a year
in the Soviet Union ought to be
enough. United States officials
have never set a figure, but
acknowledge they feel inspec-
tions would have to range
somewhere between 80 and loo
per year.
A closer reading of Mr.
Tsarapkin's new propose
shows, however. that the Soviet
Union still is not prepared tc
base the proposed annual limit
on the new data CLEANED by tbs
United States from its October
1858. series of underground nu-

| In the usage Of the year-old

Mr.. Tsarapkin said, "the ex-

to place some unusual signifi-

Gets Long Grilling
Mr.. Hess was subjected to a
long grilling after the subcom-
mittee received testimony from
Kenneth Hoffer and Mr.. Gott-

enabled Mr.. Hoffer to get on
the $4,000 question.
Mr.. Hoffer lost out on the

He testified that he was prom

Hess but never received either
and after he once mentioned
this was fired on Christmas

Mr.. Gottlieb said he acted on
Mr.. Hess instructions in max
ing the payments to Mr..
Schwartz, $4,000 before the
Hoffer appearance and $4,000
afterwards. all in $50 and 500
bills given him by the mer-

the arrangements on a tele-
phone call in his presence to
Mr.. Schwartz in New York.
Can't Recall Call
Mr.. Hess insisted he could
not remember any telephone
call of this kind and said ar
rangements were made either
by Mr.. Gottlieb or his public

whose testimony was scheduled
as a part of the windup session.
The merchant said he was
happy with the results of
Hoffer's appearance and that
the practice-deplored by the
subcommittee members - was
considered as a business

that under New York laws it
