ComoufIoged
Test Possible
Underground
BY the Associated Press

The United States has new
evidence to back up its argu-
ment that underground nu-
clear blasts could be camou-
flaged to avoid detection.
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion yesterday made a prelimi-
nary report on the results Of
tests it made with non-nuclear
explosives in a deep salt mine
in Louisiana.
The report indicated a nu-
clear explosion equalling 20.-
900 tons of INT could be dis
guised to appear like a 1000
ton blast.
United States scientists pre-
viously brought up this theory,
called decoupling. at Geneva
talks on banning nuclear tests.
The Russians rejected it. and
the issue is expected to be an
important one at the forth
coming summit meeting. when
a ban again may be discussed,
Decoupling involves setting
of an explosion in hole with
in a hole deep underground,
Instead Of having the explo-
sion tightly confined, which
produces a heavy earth shock,
it can expand more harmlessly.
The Acc report said that un-
der ideal conditions the shock
could be weakened up to 800
times.
The subject arose at East
West talks on establishing a
network of seismic detecting
stations. to make sure no ma
ton violates a test ban. The
United States scientists argued
that this technique might al
low an atomic power to hide
its tests while continuing them

Reds Protest
NucIedr Arms
Plan Of Allies
By the Associated Pres

Soviet Premier Khruschev Is
reported to have made q pro.
posal md secret protest TO Pres
iders Eisenhowr against plans
to incrase the distribution Of
nuclear weapons within the
forces Of the Atlantic alliance.
In a letter delivered March 8
upon Mr.. Eisenhower's return
from South America, Mr..
Khrushehey is said to have ar
gued that moves now to build
up the nuclear armament Of
Allied forces in Europe would
work against a favorable. at
moSphere for the May summit
conference in Paris.
Mr.. Eisenhower declined at a
news conference this week to
discuss the Khrushehev letter.
However, word of it has circu-
lated in government circles here
and among allied diplomats.
Norstad Plan Involved
Mr.. Khrushchev's objections
were aimed particularly at a
plan recently announced by
Gen. Lauris Norstad, commando
|er Of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization, for formation Of
a highly mobile, heavily armed
special force equipped with the
most modern weapons-mean-
ing nuclear weapons. The nu-
clear weapons would be under
the technical control Of United
States forces as required by
law. But the effect of the new
organization would be to make
them increasingly available for
other Allied combat units be-
ginning with the British and
French and extending later to
the troops of additional coun-
tries, including West Germany.
Mr.. Khrushchev is. said to
have renewed his warning
against any action by the
United States which would
promote the spread of nuclear
weapons. Such warnings we're
made by him in exchanges
with Mr.. Eisenhower a year
ago on the progress Of nuclear
test talks at Geneva.
+ United States officials think
Mr.. Khrushchev actually would
like to avoid any future need
to give nuclear weapons to Com
munist bloc countries. INCLUDE
ing Red China. This is one Of
the reasons they believe the
Soviets would like to have a
ban on nuclear weapon testing
If they can get it on terms they
like.
Follows Propaganda Line
The main theme of the
Khrushchev letter is said to
follow Premier Khrushchev's
public propaganda line that in
the weeks leading up to the
summit meeting in Paris May
t16 all governments should avoid
any action which would in
crease world tension and de-
Grease the chance Of summit
agreements. IN .rD
The White House had no
comment on the, letter. Mrs.
Anne Wheaton, associate press
secretary to the President, said
Mr.. Eisenhower has made it
clear in the. past that he will
not reveal contents Of private
messages received from heads
Of government.
In answer to another ques-
ton. Mrs. Wheaton said she
could not say whether the
President had replied to the
Khrushchev note.

Amendment Up Monday

Still pending when the House

a four-point civil rights bill
That amendment provides fol

and safeguard voting rights Of
otherwise qualified citizens who
claim they are the victims Of

ton.
Southern Democrats who lost
several moves earlier this week
to kill or weaken the referee
proposal had served notice yes
terday they would try to pre-
vent the plan from applying to
State and local elections.
The showdown came, how
ever, on a somewhat modified
version proposed by Mr.. Bulge,
This technically would have
limited the referee procedure
to any election at which can
didates for President, Vice
President. presidential electors
or members of Congress were
to be voted on. He explained
that this was designed mainly
to exempt elections at which
merely local candidates. or is
sues were at stake.
The bills sponsors contended
1t actually would bar Federal
referees from doing anything
about complaints involving vot-
ing for State or local office
candidates, even when Federal
candidates were running at the
same time.
I'VE can't have constitution
al rights mean one thing in one
election and something else In
another" Mr.. Celler said.
Opponents of the votino
referee plan and the overall
bill indicated today they would
not try to revive that restric.
tive amendment in a different
form. They also indicated they
might not go through with an
earlier plan to offer a Ions
series Of other amendments tc
change the voting referee pro-
vision.
The bills sponsors said they
thus were encouraged to be-
lieve that the voting referee
provision is over the hump and
will be adopted Monday. The
first step would be to vote on
Mr.. Celler's version that elm
mates an original McCulloch
amendment section. That Sec
tion would have permitted Fed
eral referees to accompany
Negroes to the polls to see that
they are allowed to vote under
Federal court orders and that
their votes are counted.
The House then plans t(
start debating several proposed
amendments to the existing
four sections in the bill. Mr.

to extend to all Federal court

The Community consists OF

They added, however, that the

kind of representation the six

The only legalistic obstacle
to overcome is that the Euro

HEALTH INSURANCE -
Civil Service Commission offi-
cials anticipate some gripes
from Federal employees regard
ing the premiums to be charged
them and the benefits pro-
vided in the two Government
wide health insurance pro-
grams.
csc officials say, however,
that employees should note that
despite estimates that the cost
of hospital and medical services
in this country is going up 5
to 10 per cent a year, the
schedule of premiums and ben
efits under the Federal employe
health benefits program will
remain unchanged until the
end of the initial contract on
October 81, 1861.
At the end of that time, the
csc will negotiate new con-
tracts with the carriers. Based
on the experience of the first
l6 months of operation and
whether the plans have surplus
funds or deficits, the premiums
will be adjusted either upward
or downward and benefits also
adjusted.
incidentally, there will be an
open period after October, 1861
during which employees can
change plans. After that, en-
ployes will get a chance tc
change plans once every three
years.
| Within the next few weeks
the csc will issue details on
other health plans it has ap-
proved for various Government
employe unions and associations
and comprehensive medica,
plans.
The fact that there will be
so many plans-about 40 ir
all-will provide much-needec
competition to the two Govern.
ment-wide plans (the indemnity
and Blue Cross-Blue Shielc
programs) and thus assure
Federal workers in the future
the best possible deal in the
way of health benefits, csc
officials feel. The csc feels thai
the more competition amons
