declared in the Katangan cap

denied the charge.

Only sporadic outbursts of
gunfire in Katanga broke the
quiet in the first "a hours of
the cease fire, but the outlook

Ban Against
Atom ests
By EARL H. VOSS
Star Staff Writer

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. 22.-Japan today called
on the General Assembly to
pass a resolution demanding
an end to nuclear testing, re-
Gently renewed by both the
Soviet Union and the United
States.
Foreign Minister Zentaro
Kosaka, speaking at the OPEN
ing of the general debate, asked
the Assembly to satisfy the
crying demand Of all mankind
for the stoppage of all nuclear
testing"
Japan - the only victim of
atomic-bomb attack from the
United States in World War II
and now an ally of this country
was the first to propose that
the Genreal Assembly ask the
United States and the Soviet
Union to resume their nuclear
test moratoriums.
Councils Expansion Asked
Mr.. Kosaka also suggested
the time has come to expand
the United Nations Security
Council and the Economic and
Social Council, while at the
same time reviewing the Struc-
ture of the secretariat.
He said he could not support
the Soviet demands for a three
man directorate to replace the
secretary general.
The Japanese Foreign Min
lister made no mention of the
Red Chinese admission prob
lem which the Assembly's steer
ing committee placed on the
agenda for the first time at a
meeting ending early today.
Brazil's delegate expressed
hope that President Kennedy
and Soviet Premier KhrushcheV
would reach a compromise on
the Berlin question. He spoke
in favor of self determination
for the Germans.
Wants Peaceful Solution
Alfonso Arinos de Melo
Franco, chairman of Brazil's
delegation to the Assembly
told the 99-nation assembly:
MY country hopes that the
leaders of the USSR and the
USA, moved by a desire tt
maintain peace, can arrive at
a compromise that will allow
of a peaceful solution to the
problem of Berlin"
He did not pronounce him.
self on the Soviet plan to sign
a peace treaty with East Ger
many this year and give the
East Germans control of the
Vests access to West Berlin
But he lined up with the West
ern position on free German
elections.
Mr.. ArinoS said that while
the world was watching the
liberation of non European
peoples. it was unfortunately
witnessing the sad oppression
of other people in the very
heart of Europe"
Cites Refugee Flow
THE problem of Berlin" he
declared, cannot be separated
, from that of self determination
Of Eastern Germany. The flow
of refugees is proof of this TYPE
; of neo-colonialism.
THE German nation has the
right to be a single state thai

Mr.. RuSk did not mention
any names in the statement re-

It is no secret. however, that

tube of toothpaste.
When the Corporation Coun-
sells office began stepping up
a local campaign against pre-
MUM sales it set off another
campaign o-wipe out the 1871
statute.
District Chance Seen
This produced a bill, sent to
the House District Committee,
which sought repeal of the
statute. Immediately, trading
stamp companies saw an OPP
portunity to get into the Dis
trict.
The stamps have been used
for some years in Maryland
and Virginia. But the old Dis
trict law had also been applied
against trading stamps.
There was one point, as the
measure went through the
legislative process, when trad
ing stamps were specifically
outlawed in the language of the
bill.
But Congressman refused to
accept the language when they
realized the United States
Government might be charged
with taking a stand against the
practice of issuing trading
stamps at various places Of
business.

To Conference

q vote OF 10S-14z GQ6 COIll6TGIICel
report on the Districts $13
million revenue bill as House
members refused to accept a
part of the bill which would
make the District eligible for
impacted school aid funds.
Representative Mcmillan,
chairman Of the House District
Committee, was directed to take
the bill back to conference
with the Senate.
When the conference report
was called today, Representa-
tive Mason, Republican of
Illinois, and Representative
Bailey, Democrat of West Vir-
ginia, strongly objected to in
clusion of the District in the
impacted area school funds
program.
Roll Call Asked
After a voice vote on the is
sue. Mr.. Mason objected to
Acting Speaker McCormack's
ruling that the bill had car
ried and asked for a roll call
vote.
Mr.. Bailey pointed out the
impacted area amendment to
the tax bill and said it threat
ened the entire program. He
claimed the District could not
be considered an impacted area
and Mr.. Mason added that the
bill would rob the national pro-
gram of SIS million.
Represen tative Mcmillan,
chairman of the District Com
mittee, and Representative
Broyhill, Republican of Vir-
ginia, defended the impacted
aid item in the revenue bill by
arguing that the District was
due a higher Federal payment.
Mr.. Broyhill said the I'M
pacted aid item was accepted
by House members in a confer
ence on the bill instead of rails
ing the Federal payment au-
thorization from $32 million to
$36 million.
Federal Grants Allowed
The impacted-aid program
sets up Federal grants to
schools overcrowded with chill
dren whose parents live or work
on Federal property. Health,
Education and Welfare depart
ment officials have estimated
the District could expect SIS
million a year.
The impacted aid amendment
was offered by Senator Morse,
Democrat of Oregon, and was
accepted by the Senate last
night when it passed the con-
ference report.
Senators voted the District
into the federally impacted
school aid program without a
single objection and without
debate. Only a scattering Of
Senators were on the floor when
this key section Of the con-
ference report was called up
for action by District Com
mittee Chairman Bible.
The tax measure expected to-
raise $13.3 million additional
revenue this fiscal year, even
tually would increase District
revenues by about $19.8 million
a year.

a 3 per cent sales tax and

The rejected conference re-
port also contains authorize
lions for the Commissioners to
raise water and swer charges
up to about $14 increase per
average consumer. Rasies are
not in prospect, however, until
1868.
The other major money
raiser in the bill-the 1 per cent
increase in the current 2 per

by Representative Mcmillan
