tation to the Soviet spaceman,

clined to reveal why the invita-

son was MoScow's recent anti

NeutrOn Bomb
Contest Spurs
U. 5. in A-Tests
Fear of Russiun
Lead Is Fuctor in
Policy Debate
BY EARL H. vOSS
star staff Writer

Fear that Russia may get the
jump on the United States in
the development Of q new type
of nuclear weapon-the neutron
bombs q major element in
increasing pressures on Presi-
dent Kennedy to order the re-
sumption of nuclear testing by
the United States.
A behind-the-scenes debate,
now going on here, is remi-
niScent of the one in the Tru-
man administration before
President Truman decided to
go ahead with the development
Of the hydrogen bomb.
Much Of the pressure on Mr..
Kennedy is being put by in
fluential members Of Congress,
Democratic and Republican, to
end the 32-month moratorium
on nuclear weapons testing.
Their position is backed by the
military services.
There is some doubt among
President Kennedy's advisers,
however, on how fundamentally
important it would be to have
the neutron bomb in the United
States arsenal.
The so-called N-bomb, as
conceived in projects with the
code names Of Dove" and
Starring" would explode in a
burst Of neutrons that would
kill all life in range but not
destroy structures.
It is regarded mainly as q
battlefield weapon which could
be tailored to destroy life with
IN any radius desired.
Instead Of blast and heat, the
bombs main output would be
"death-ray" neutrons.
Troops would be incapacited
q few minutes after they were
exposed. The area would not
be contaminated permanently
and forces using the weapon
could advance into the area al
most Immediately.
Advocates of full-speed de-
velopment of the neutron bomb
complain that President Ken
nedy has not been given the
full facts on its military use
fulness. He is said to have re-
ceived reports only on scien-
tific aspects Of the weapon, not
on the wide range Of military
applications reported possible.
Claims that chemical and
biological weapons now avail
able could do the work of the
neutron bomb as effectively
are disputed by those who are
pressing for N-bomb develop
ment.
Kennedy to Get Report

Of Washington, plans to send

Kennedy Takes Steps
To End Marine Strike
uyRequest
Tuft-HurtIeY
Injunction
BY LEE NJ. COIN
Star staff Writer

President Kennedy laid the
groundwork yesterday for a
Federal injunction to stop the
maritime strike.
He ordered Labor Secretary
Goldberg to conduct a Govern
ment survey of the strikes i'm
pact and advise him tomorrow
whether the work stoppage i'm
|perils the national health or
safety.
If the President decides that
the strike does imperil the ma
tional health or safety, he can
seek a Federal court injunction
under the Taft Hartley Act. An
injunction would compel the
strikers to return to work for
80 days.
Strike Affects 900 Ships
Mr.. Goldberg told a news
conference he expects the Pres
ident to make the decision to-
morrow. Past experience indi-
Gates that work would be re-
sumed about a week after such
a decision.
About 10000 workers and
more than 900 ships are involved
in the strike, now in its tenth
day. Only about $50 Of the
ships and a proportionate num-
ber of workers actually are
idle. The remainder are at sea.
Paralysis of the merchant
marine will widen as more and
more ships dock in the United
States if the strike continues.
The Taft-Hartley Act author
ICES injunctions only when
strikes ''imperil the national
health or safety" The courts
traditionally leave this judge
ment to the Presidents dis
cretion, and never have re-
jected a request for a Taft
Hartley injunction.
S0-Day Injunction
If the President decides on
the basis of tomorrow's report
that the strike meets the
health = or safety" criterion,
his next move would be to ap-
point q board of inquiry to re-
port to him on the facts of the
dispute.
The board probably would
report within about five days.
Then the President could order
Attorney General Kennedy to
apply to a Federal district
court for an injunction, which
would compel the strikers to
resume work Immediately.
Mediation efforts would con-
tinue during the S0-day in
junction period. but the board
