(which can be caused by ma
tural earthquakes as well as by
nuclear explosions) the West
has been insisting on a reason
able number Of on-the-spot
Investigations by technicians.
Noting the number of such
natural disturbances" that
can be expected in a given year,
the West has asked to be al
lowed to investigate one-third
of them or about 20 a year.
The Russians, while accepting
the idea of mobile inspections
in principle, have so far been
unwilling even to discuss num-
bers. All Mr.. Tsarapkin has
been willing to say so far-and
he said it again today-is that
the number of these mobile
Investigations must be deter
mined on a political rather
than a scientific basis.
Even so, most Western OBJ
servers here are convinced that
the offer today means that
Russians are really anxious to
reach an agreement on a nu-
clear test treaty as quickly as
possible. and that the question
of mobile inspections on what
ever basis it is finally settled
will not stand in the way.
But before this can be done
and before the first really i'm
portant step can be taken
toward international control of
atomic weapons. the United
States must agree to q volun-
tary ban on underground tests.
And the longer Americans take
to make up their mind, the
more impatient the rest of the
world is likely to become.

meriting the "careful study" Of
the two governments.
British Less Rigid
Privately, however, the un-
animity is a good deal less
firm. The fact is that the
British, in view of public
opinion at home overwhelrh-
ingly in favor of a less rigid
approach on the matter of con-
trolls, would find it very hard
to turn down the Russian
offer. Indeed, they had
pleaded with the Russians to
hold off for a few days until
the Americans could be worked
around to a more receptive
frame of mind.
Whether or not this is now
possible remains to be seen.
Quick American acceptance,
however, seems unlikely, and
there is speculation that the
question may be kicked up to
the summit conference in May
for a final decision.
An agreement on under
ground tests would clear away
the major barrier to the 1u-
clear treaty which the Russians
themselves have billed as a
step (which would create a
favorable atmosphere for gen..
eral disarmament"
1t would not, however. be the
last hurdle to be crossed be-
fore the final agreement is
reached.
Wide Russian Shift
Although the Russians have
come a long way toward meet
ing Western demands for fixed
control posts on Russian terri
tory - further indeed than
would have seemed possible
two years ago-the question of
mobile inspection teams still
remains to be solved.

Jurors were told today that
Richard A. Mack was under
psychiatric treatment for 11a
years while he was a member
of the Florida Railroad Public
Utilities Commission.
The statement was made by
Thurman A. Whiteside, Miami
attorney who Unexpectedly
took the witness stand in his
own defense at a conspiracy
trial.
Whiteside is charged with
corruptly influencing Mack
while Mack was a member of
the Federal Communications
Commission and rigging a
Miami television award to a
National Airlines subsidiary.
Paid Psychiatric Bills
Whiteside, questioned by his
counsel, said he paid all of
Mack's psychiatric bills for 11a
years beginning in September
Of 1851.
He testified that Mack was
having very grave personal
problems, both personal and
domestic" at that time.
Whiteside said that in De-
cember of 1852, he said Mack
was arrested for driving under
the influence of liquor. He said
he provided Mack's bond and
later paid his reckless driving
fine.
AS a defendant in a case of
this sort, Whiteside has the
privilege of deciding whether
or not to testify.

Evins Rebuts
Anti-CothoIic
Talk in Pulpit

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. IL
(AP).-A Tennessee Congress
man has used a Church of
Christ pulpit for a five-minute
rebuttal of a minister's sermon
against the Roman Catholic
Church.
Representative EVins, a
Smithville Democrat, asked DR..
Batsell Barrett Baxter if he
might speak briefly after DR..
Baxter preached Sunday on
the topic, "a Dangerous Doc
trine."
Mr.. Evins said he noticed a
television crew from the Ma
tional BroadcaSting Co. filming
the sermon and asked to make
the talk because he thought
NBC was using the church "for
slanted partisan political pur-
poses"
DR.. Baxter said NBC had
asked several weeks ago to film
the sermon as part of a docu-
mentary.
In New York, an NBC spokes-
man said the scene shot in
Nashville would have no bear
ing on the November 8 election
He said the scene was one of
a large number NBC had been
shooting for a possible future
documentary program that
would be shown no earlier than
next January.
The Congressman, a member
Of the Church of Christ faith,
is a supporter of the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee
Senator Kennedy, a Roman
Catholic.
DR.. Baxter's sermon did not
mention Senator Kennedy. In
it, he said, 'if the Roman
Catholic Church should ever
become large enough and strong
enough to dominate the United
States, the rest of us would
lose our religious freedom"
Mr.. Evins in his talk called
for religious tolerance among
all people. After the sermon,
he told DR.. Baxter. IF there
was any indication Of reflection
on you. I would express my
apologies"
When asked his political lean
ingS, DR.. Baxter said he never
discussed them publicly.

BritainWarned
Central Africa
NeedsChanues

LONDON, Oct. II (AP).-
Britain was warned today that
the Central African Federation
its pet project in racial part
nership-is doomed to fail sin
its present form"
The majority of a Remember
official advisory commission
headed by Lord Moncktor
reported that Negroes OF
Southern and Northern Rho
desia and Nyasaland-the three
CAT component territories
have come to regard federation
as a cloak for white domina-
ton. The big federation has
been the scene of strikes and
riots recently.
Only drastic and fundamen-
tai changes can save the prof.
ect, the commission said.
Most commissioners called on
the five governments concerned
Britain, the CAT, Southern
and Northern Rhodesia and
Nyasaland-to make a fresh
start because:
ITO break it (the federation)
up at this crucial moment in
the history of Africa would, we
believe, amount to an admis-
sion that there is no hope OF
survival for any multiracial So
ciety on the African continent
and that differences of color
and race are irreconcilable."
Right to Quit Favored
But a majority of the COM
mission also favored giving the
three individual territories the
right to quit the federation
after an agreed trial period il
they wish. The commission
said this might provide g
valuable safety valve" anc
offset the complaint of the
Negroes that federation was
imposed on them in 1858.
Two Negro commissioners
in a minority recommendation
urged that referendums be held
at once in each territory to es-
tablish if the people want tc
quit. II the answer is yes, they
said. Britain should enact the
necessary laws PERMITTING it.
The gist of the commissions
report had leaked out in ad-
vance and met with hostile re-
actions from the white-domi-
mated CAT government under
Sir Roy Welensky.
The British government now
faces a crisis in its African
policy. Britain must try to bal
ance the interests of white set
tiers and the demands of inde-
pendence-seeking Negroes.
Findings Not Binding
The findings of the Monckton
Commission do not bind the
government. Britain regards
them only as the basis for dis
cussionS when white and Negro
leaders from the territories
meet here in mid-December for
a constitutional review.
Sir Roy has privately de-
manded that Britain disassoci-
ate itself with some of the rec
concentrations. The British
government has refused to
commit itself, however.
