The United States Soviet
British talks on a nuclear test
ban also failed to make prog
ress toward agreement at their

manded the right for the Rus

vices used in tests seeking
methods of detecting small un-
derground nuclear blasts.
He said if this is refused, the
Soviet Union will regard any
United States nuclear test ex-
plosion as a breach of the 19-
month-old test truce being OBJ
served by the three powers.
The United States already
has announced it is no longer
bound by the truce but has
invited Soviet scientists to wit
ness IL underground explosions
planned to improve detection
techniques. The Russians, how
ever. would not be permitted to
see the actual explosive mech

United S t a tes Ambassador
James J. WadSWorth said he
was disappointed at Mr.. Tsarap-
kin's stand and expressed
hope the talks could return to a
more businesslike" atmos-
phere. Western officials said
Mr.. Tsarapkin is aware that
United States nuclear security
laws do not permit the inspec-
ton he demanded.

Anti-lnfIotion Bonds
Proposed for Retirees

A novel method of portect-
ing the retirement income of
persons from the shrink
age caused by initiation was
proposed in the Senate today.
Three Democrats on the
subcommittee studying prob
lens of the aged introduced
a bill which would authorize
the Treasury to issue bonds
with a purchasing-power guar
antee-that is, bonds with a
face value that would be ad-
justed to keep pace with in
creases in the cost of living.
These bonds would be issued
either to individuals or to eligi-
BILE pension funds in such a
manner as to insure that the
benefits derived from the cost
of-living clause could accrue
only if used for retirement
purposes.

Senator McNamara, Demo-
crat of Michigan, chairman of
the subcommittee, drafted the
bill in cooperation with Demo-
cratic Senators Randolph of
West Virginia and Clark of
Pennsylvania.
Although the idea of such
bonds has been discussed from
time to time for many years.
this is believed to be the first
time the proposal has been in
troduced IN the form of a bill.
1t comes rather late in the
second session of this Congress,
however, and if not acted on
soon, probably will go over un-
til next year.

per cent minimum wage boost.
Union President James B.

Demands in addition to the
wage increase include the union
shop, liberalized and company
paid pensions, health and in
Surance benefits and a form of
guaranteed annual wage.
Mr.. Carey described the de-
mandS as reasonable and con-
Structive. In response to ques-
tions he added: I'VE are not
asking Tor, or anticipating or
threatening strikes. All the
strike talk has come from the
officials of the company"
The proposed contract would
run " to two years. Mr.. Carey
said, replacing the five-year
contract which expires October
l. 1t would cover some $4,000
workers represented by the
AFL-CIO union in about rs
plants employing an estimated

He said a similar pattern OF
demands will be presented in

S.E.Projects
Corb Sought
By Bennett

A Florida Congressman has
moved to curb low-rent public
housing projects in Southeast
Washington.
Representative Bennett,
Democrat of Florida, a bitter
critic of District publis housing
location policies, yesterday in
troduced a bill to bar new
Southeast projects unless an
equivalent amount of low-rent
housing is built elsewhere in
the city, or unless the projects
replace SlumS.
The House member, a South
east resident, said he was act
ing in the interest of home
owners who, he asserted, stand
to suffer property devaluation
from overlooking middle-in-
come neighborhoods with new
low-income tenants.
The District Commissioners,
in a split vote, last week ap-
proved plans for some 230 new
public housing units on Anger
place and Alabama avenue Sc,
despite vigorous opposition at
a May public hearing.
Commissioner David B. Kar-
rick dissented on the grounds
the area already had more than
its share of low-rent units.
The Bennett bill, referred to
the House District Committee,
would block any new Southeast
projects unless they are accom-
panied by destruction or reha-
bilitation of Slums, or the other
three sections of the city &C
quire an equal number of low
rent units or the same pTopor-
ton as the Southeast.
"I think it is unfair to the
people of Southeast Washing
ton to have the Government
remove people from the slums
of the Southwest and North
west and move them into open
places of the Southeast where
there are no slumS," he de-
clared.
He predicted loading the
Southeast with more public
housing would drive taxpayers
to the suburbs.

chancellor made no concession
to demands by Dean Nelson and
the faculty that Mr.. Lawson
be permitted to return to
classes at Nashville.
Will Think 1t Over
The next day Mr.. Lawson
said he could not accept Chan
cellor Branscomb's terms for a
degree. Last night. after urg-
ing by the returning professors
that he take the exams, Mr.
Lawson agreed Ito think it
over"
The statement by the pro-
fesSors said their return
should not be interpreted as
meaning that we accept Cham

the issues involved nor
should our decision be UNDER
