The balloting was conducted

a strike at the plant. A hearing
before the NLRB brought a de-
cision favorable to the COM

reversed the decision and in
May. 1858, the company was
directed to bargain with the
unions Local 81 as the repre-

After a year of disagreement
on an employment contract, the
company petitioned the NLRE

The United States is expect
ed to propose a f1rst-phase
agreement banning only the

tests as a compromise at the
currently stalemated Geneva
negotiations for a test-ban
treaty.
Worried at Slow Pace
DR.. Wolfgang Panofsky,
Stanford physicist, also a mem
Der Of the America team at the
recent Geneva technical talks,
reported he was concerned over
the "discouragingly slow" pro-
gress of American research on
improvements for the detection
system to distinguish earth
quakes from subterranean ex-
plosions.
| Subcommittee Chairman
Humphrey, Democrat of Min
nesota, told the scientists he
intended to press the admins

forts in this field.
DR.. Panofsky also questioned
whether the world now has
enough qualified seismologists
to man the 180-station control
system that would be necessary
to police a test moratorium.
Senator Humphrey ques-
toned the scientists closely on
the feasibility Of constructing
underground cavities large
enough to 'muffle sneak tests.
| Theoretically, American scien-
lists contend, a 300-kiloton
shot can be made to look on
seismograms like a one-kiloton
explosion. The scientists said a
hole to mask a 50-kiloton shot
would cost $40 million or more
and would take two to four
years to construct.
