Red Compromise
On A-Inspections
Rejected by U. S.

GENEVA, Jan. IA AP).-
The Soviet Union suggested a
compromise yesterday on the
major deadlock of the nuclear
testban talks, but United States
delegate James J. Wadsworth
Immediately termed the pro-
posal unacceptable.
The stalemate concerns the
right to conduct on-the-spot
inspections of the site of un-
identified earth tremors.
An East-West group Of scien-
lists failed last month to agree
how violent a seismic shock
wave must be to permit an on
site inspection.
Soviet Delegate Semyon K.
Tsarapkin fell back yesterday
on an earlier Soviet suggestion
that the three nuclear weapon
powerSthe United States,
Britain and Russia-each per-
NIT a very small" fixed an
nual number Of inspections on
their territory.
Mr.. Tsarapkin previously has
made clear that by very small"
he means about three inspec-
tions a year. Yesterday he said
that If the West accepted the
very small" quota, the Soviet
Union would accept at least
some of the conclusions and
demands made oy the Western
scientists at last months tech
nical discussion.
Mr.. Wadsworth told Mr..
Tsarapkin the proposal is un-
acceptable to the United States
because the very small" quota
would bear no relation to the
mber Of natural earth
tremors and a realistic basis
must be found for instituting
inspections so no underground
tests could remain undetected.

If you offer a reward for

He said that since the theft,

If that step should fail, the

to direct the Attorney General
to petition the courts to throw
the affected facilities into re-
ceivership and appoint a special
receiver to operate the facilities
in the name Of the Govern
ment.
Senators Javits and Aiken
said the measure would leave

tive. The steel strike was
settled while the men were back
at work under an 80-day in
junction. Without settlement

grain storage elevators to his
son, Gerald R. Pollock, before
taking over as administrator
of the Agriculture Departments
surplus grain storage opera
tionS in 1857.
He acknowledged that he had
not notified the department in
writing that he held a S65.000
note on the property, as Sub
committee Counsel Richard P.
Schmidt, jr., said department
regulations required.
Mr.. Pollock also said that
he had participated as an in
duStry representative in the
negotiation of the 1856 uni
form grain storage agreement,
the standard contract between
the Government and private
operators who store surplus
farm produce.
Chief NegOtiator
Mr.. Pollock is the depart
ment's chief negotiator in cur
rent talks to revise that agree
ment Senators were told
Tuesday that profits of up to
l67 per cent had been made
under terms of the 1856 con-
tract.
Asked If he thought those
profits were fair, Mr.. Pollock
said they ARE in the same de-
gree of fairness as the losses
that may have been sustained
by other operators under the
same agreement"
Senator Symington said that
in the closed session yesterday.
Mr.. Pollock testified he knew of
no such losses.
Survey Completed
Mr.. Pollock said that his di-
vision has Just completed it's
first survey of the commercial
operators actual costs in the
grain storage program, but that
the results had not yet been
analyzed. He said that when
they are available-in rs to 90
days-they would offer a good
basis" for renegotiating the
storage agreement.
Testimony today showed the
Government currently has
about 3 billion bushels of sur
plus grain in commercial Stor-
age. while its own bins, with a
capacity of about 985 million
bushels, are about 70 per cent
filled.
Mr.. Pollock verified the state
ment of Subcommittee Counsel
Schmidt that until March l,
1869. the Government was leas-
ing some of its own bins to
commercial operators at 9 cents
per bushel capacity and then
paying them l cents per bushel
for storing grain in them. Last

the incumbent should be al

Cftice, Judge Nelson will be

up his career today thus:
Il am happy that many re-
forms and Improvements in the

down on drunken and reckless
drivers. This month he handed
out a 290-day jail sentence to
one offender and a l90-day
penalty to another.
