Oxygen Source
Built for Space
BY the Associated Press

The Air Force reports q
breakthrough in the develop
ment of an oxygen source for
man in space.
1t is the direct application
of sunlight in the photosyn-
thetic process for recovery of
oxygen from the carbon dioxide
and astronaut breathes out.
The basic system has long
been known, consisting of the
exposure of algae to the carbon
dioxide, which the algae break
down with assistance from the
suns energy. The Air Force
said yesterday, however, that
the new process is the first to
work by direct exposure to sun
light without intervening steps.

U.S.. Calls on Neqroes
To Join Foreign Corps

State Department officials
met today with Negro leaders
and other representatives OF
minority groups to encourage
broader participation of all seq
mentS of the American society
in the foreign service.
Secretary of State Rusk
greeted the Conference on
Equal Employment Opportu-
mites when it opened this
morning.
UnderSecretary of State
Bowles also was scheduled to
speak to the representatives of
some 40-odd organizations.
In a letter of invitation to
the minority groups the State
Department said it wanted a
foreign service representative
Of the people of the United
States but had not yet achieved
this goal.
Efforts to attract Negroes
and others from minority seq
ments of the population to the
foreign service have not been
as productive as originally
hoped" the State Department
said.

of the foreign service has been

first for seismic research and
peaceful uses, later for weap-

So far President Kennedy
had resisted these pressures.
Talks Called Waste
The Republican leaders COM
planned that the Geneva talks
have been "a waste of time, /"
and that the United States has
been jeopardizing it's national
security by continuing our self
imposed suspension of testing.
Mr.. Kennedy announced last
week he is sending Ambassador
Arthur Dean back to the
Geneva test ban negotiations
on August "a for a decisive"
conformation with the Soviet
negotiators.
The Republican leaders COM
I'VE have no objec-
ton. to this attempt, but we
believe it should not be allowed
to sandbag the Nations safety"
They suggested that Per-
haps testing while offering to
negotiate might bring all par
ties closer to the desired OBJ
jective-a true nuclear test
ban."

U. 5. Not Sure
IfReds Violate
Atom Test Ban

Knowledgeable administra-
ton officials were skepticai to-
day of the Republican leader
ships contention that President
Kennedy has information that
Russia has been secretly test
ing nuclear weapons during the
33-month Geneva negotiations
on a test ban.
Senate Minority Leader Dirk
sen and House Minority Leader
Halleck charged that while
there is no absolute proof, there
does existS enough information
to indicate the Soviets have
violated the moratoriums and
that the highest Government
officials know it.
The g. o. P. leaders called
again for resumption of testing
even though the Geneva nego-
tiations are continued.
Administration sources coun-
tered that there is no convinc-
ing evidence showing either
that Russia has or has not been
secretly testing nuclear, weap-
ons.
U. N. to Get Issue
High officials said privately
that the United States is un-
likely to resume testing this
year. They explained that the
United States and Britain are
taking the test ban problem to
the United Nations General AS
sembly, which convenes Sep
tember 10. The test issue prob
ably will not clear the Gen.
eral Assembly until late in De-
cember.
During that time the United
States will be stressing its own
eagerneSs for a test ban under
effective controls. The Anglo
American draft treaty will be
used again as evidence the West
is ready to ban tests while the
Soviet Union is frustrating such
efforts.
During this time, officials
say, 1t Is unlikely that the
United States would undercut
its position by resuming tests.
Several members of the Joint
Atomic Energy Committee in
Congress have publicly advo-
Gated a resumption of tests,
