experts report on the recent
technical talks.
Agreeing with the United
States position, the British ex-
perts said: The difficulty in
which we find ourselves Is that
we cannot at present propose
criteria which viii identity a
large proportion of earth
quakes as such. A large num-
Der remain unidentified and
must therefore be considered
as eligible for inspection. Aids
(for developing criteria) are
not yet In a codified form or
sufficiently reliable to be used
as criteria but they do have
real value as statistical weight
ing factors.
Must Identify Quakes
"In our opinion, the best
that can be done in the present
state Of knowledge is to define
criteria which will identify a
modest proportion of EARTH
quakes. The remaining events
must be regarded as eligible for
inspection, even though the
number Of events will, for a
few years. be far too large
for all TO be inspected. How
ever, world research on seis-

by the control organ itself,
could in a few years materially

Britain may be cast In the
role Of mediator between the
United States and the So
Wet Union when Geneva ne
gotiations on a nuclear-weapons
test ban resume a week from
today. according to high Ameri-
can officials here.
United States and Soviet sci
entists disagree fundamentally
in recent Geneva technical talks
on the amount Of inspection
necessary to police an effective
test ban.
British experts, in their sepa-
rate report on the November 25-
December 10 proceedings, took
a middle position, leaning
heavily toward the American
view but still conceding some
points to the Soviet Union and
holding out hope that a work.
able agreement is yet possible.
American officials say the
most likely area for compromise
is in the criteria to be estab-
lished for the dispatch Of in
spection teams to the site Of
suspicious underground dis
turbances.
U. S. Asks Detailed Pact
The United States wants all
procedures spelled out in de-
tail before any test-suspension
agreement is signed. The So
Wet Union wants to proclaim
a ban, set up a control system,
and improve it as best the
experts can after the ban is
declared.
The American fear is that
the Soviet Union can block ef-
fective inspection unless all
procedures are carefully agreed
On in advance.
Britain may be able to find
some middle ground here. Hints

strength "if everybody stay,
hitched" to break a Southern.
held roadblock and force ar
early House vote.
Chairman Celler, Democrat Of
New York, of the House Judi.
clay Committee made this esti.
mate in a telephone interview
from New York.
Meanwhile, some top Demo
Gratis, returning to Washington
for the opening Of the session
tomorrow, talked of q strategy
shift to let the explosive issue
come to the blow-of stage first
in the House.
Senate debate has been in
formally set for about February
Is.
Last year, the House judiciary
Committee, after a bitter three
way fight among Northern and
Southern Democrats and Re-
publicans, produced a bill wa
tered down from its original
terms but still extending civil
rights legislation into the emo
tion-packed area of school de.
segregation.
Violence or Threats
The bill would make it a
Federal crime to interfere by
violence or threats with court
desegregation orders. 1t also
would forbid registrars to de-
stroy voting records before
Federal officials could examine
them. Another provision would
strike at bombings.
The legislation ran into re-
laying tactics in the Southern
led Rules Committee, which
still has control of it.
Mr.. Celler and others
launched a discharge petition
"a maneuver by which a
majority of the House can
take q bill away from a COM
mittee. But with only a few
weeks before adjournment, they
obtained only about $50 of the
required 219 signatures before
the session ended.
Mr.. Celler said today he put
on an extensive telephone,
telegram and letter drive dur
ing the recess and has the
promise of about 80 additional
signatures.
more Than Enough"
IF all the promises are kept.
we'll have more than enough
signatures" he said.
Congress passed only stopgap
civil rights legislation last year
an extension Of the life of
the Civil Rights Commission.
Backing this legislation, Sem
ate Democratic Leader Senator
Johnson promised early debate
in the Senate this year on a
more comprehensive bill.
Senator Talmadge, Democrat
Of Georgia. served notice today
he will do all he can to prevent
Congress from adopting the
major recommendations of the
Civil Rights Commission. in
cluding the sending Of Federal
voting registrars into the States.
Election Year Action
The Georgia Senator. ad-
mitted that, this being an elec-
ton year, there will be demands
for action on a wide variety of
civil rights proposals.
The Senator said he believes
many Senators will oppose CEN
tralizing in Washington au-
thority over matters that can
best be handled by the States.
He said he hopes such legisla-
ton can be blocked, but is not
so optimistic as to predict the
Southerners will be able to
block 1t.

are accused of conspiracy and
murder.
The prosecution charges that
the two plotted Mrs. Finch's
death because she stood in the
way Of their marriage-and
was demanding a big share of
community property she esti-
mated at $750.000.
Deputy District Attorney Fred
N. Whichello told the jury in

Finch and Miss Tregof went
to his estranged wife's home
with a device which would kill,
and leave the cause undetected: a:

inge is adaptable to produce

that an injection of such a
quantity Of air into the blood
stream could bring about
death and not be demonstrable
as 10 cause by an autopsy"
Mrs. Finch's death. however,
was a violent. bloody one. The
needle and syringe, unused,
were found in an attache case
near the Finch home in West
Covina.
Mr.. Whichello charged yes
terday that the murder was
the result of a year-long illicit
affair between DR.. Finch, a
handsome. 4l-year-old tennis
player. and the 23-year-old
former model who was once
his receptionist.

doctor and Miss Tregoff had

In fact, even some admins
tration officials acknowledge
privately that some Federal pay
boost is inevitable this year.
The increase will be of
modest proportions, in all like
lihood. not nearly as large as
the steel workers settlement.
But it is expected to average at
least S per cent and prehaps as
high as Z or 8 per cent.
The steel settlement follows
generally the pay increase pat
tern won by workers in other
industries during the last few
months. 1t is also expected to
set similar pay raise patterns
in the months ahead for other
groups Of workers in various
industries whose contracts are
now being negotiated.
When Congress returns to-
morrow, you can look for a

classified employe pay raise
bills to be introduced promptly

has informed AFL-CIO Presi-
dent George Meany that the
letter carriers and some Of their
fellow postal employe unions
intend to go ahead with plans
for a merger into one big postal
employe union.
Mr.. Meany several months
ago asked that such a merger
move be dropped. He acted on
the complaint of the National
Federation of Post ONCE Clerks,
which is opposed to such a
merger, that this would result
in non-AFL-CIo postal groups
with postal clerks in their
memberships being admitted to
the AFL-CIO and thus usurp-
NFPOC jurisdiction.
However, in a letter to Mr..
Meany last week. Mr.. Doherty.
who is an AFL-CIO vice presi-
dent, pointedly declared: by
convention mandate, our NALC
Executive Council is committed
TO the principle Of one union
Of all postal workers under the
banner Of the AFL-CIO. In
response to that instruction, we
fully propose to use every hon.
0rable and legitimate means at
our disposal, within the frame
york Of accepted trade union
nractices."
The Doherty letter raised
considerable discussion among
postal employe organizations.
AS the largest Government en-
ploye union, with about 100, 900
members, the NALC and Mr..
Ooherty apparently feel that
the AFL-CIO could i'll afford
70 crack down on the letter
carriers if they go through with

merger move. And Mr.. Doherty
made it plain that the merger
move would continue.
