New Effort 10
End Arms Test
Bid to Russians
To Avert FuIIout
Again Weighed
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press Staff Writer

United States officials are
reported considering a new bid
to Russia designed to break the
cycle of American and Soviet
nuclear weapons testing.
One proposal reported under
serious study would call for a
ban on tests which cause radio
active fallout, meaning tests in
the atmosphere and under.
water. These can be detected
at great distances.
Such a ban could be policed
with present detection arrange
mentS without the necessity of
setting up new, international
inspection procedures inside the
Soviet Union and the territory
Of other nuclear powers.
Conference Set Today
President Kennedy scheduled
the latest in a series of nuclear
test policy conferences for late
this afternoon at the White
House. He was to go into that
meeting with Secretary of
State Rusk. Secretary Of De-
tense Mcnamara and other top
policy advisers Immediately

altitude tests over the Central
Pacific winch began last spring,
Underground tests begun earlier
have been continued in Nevada.
The Soviet government which
resumed testing last September
after a worldwide moratorium
of almost three years, has an

The United States, mean

it might conduct a few more

Fiibuster in Senate
Measure
Gets More
Hearings
BY ]. A. OTEARY
Star staff Writer

Inc senate llllDuSLer against
the communications satellite
bill was ended for the time
being today under an agree
ment to postpone action on it
until next week.
Both sides won concessions
in the agreement.
The leadership succeeded in
having the bill formally taken
up-something they had not
been able to do during five
days of filibustering.
Hearings Ordered
The opponents of the bill won
their fight for further hearings
by the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee, probably
starting tomorrow, on the inter-
national aspects of a satellite
communication system.
Republicans who blocked a
similar agreement last night
withdrew their objections today
after receiving assurances on
two points:
/. That when the satellite
bill comes back from committee
not later than Friday, August
10. the leaders will make every
effort to keep it before the
Senate to a final decision
2. That the administrations
modified farm bill will not be
taken UP in the meantime.
Opponents Firm
Before the agreement was
entered into, Senator Russell B.
Long. Democrat of Louisiana.
made it clear that when the
satellite debate is resumed
some time next week the OPP
ponentS will continue to do all
they can to present their claim
that it is "a bad bill"
But Senate Democratic
Leader Mansfield said he il
! hopeful that when the debate
is resumed a more reasonable
atmosphere will prevail.
He pointed out that under
the agreement the Foreign Re-
Ilations Committee can report
the bill back earlier than Au-
gust 10, and when it does the
measure will automatically be-
come the pending business Of
the Senate.
Since last Thursday the OPP
ponents have been talking to
prevent the bill from being
taken up for consideration.
Under this agreement the de-
bate next week will start out
on changes the opponents want
made in the measure.
Basic Issue
The basic issue involved in
the fight is whether private en-
terprise or the Government
should own the American seq
ment of an international sat-
elite communications system.
The pending bill, backed by
the Kennedy administration,
and the Senate Republicans,
would set up private corpora
ton in which half of the stock
would be sold to the existing
communications companies and
the other half to the public
generally.
Supporters of the bill con-

Job|ess Drop
Impedes Drive
For TaxCut
Goldberg Reports
2-Heur Low Level
Of Unemployment
BY LEE M. COIN
Star staff Writer

Inc drive Tor emergency tax
cuts was set back today when
Labor Secretary Goldberg re-
ported gains on the economy's
job front.
Mr.. Goldberg told q news
conference the unemployment
rate, seasonally adjusted, de-
clined to So per cent of the
labor force in July from SIS
per cent the month before and
So per cent a year earlier.
At So per cent, the jobIess
rate was at a 25-month low,
although it still was far above
the administrators interim
goal of 4 per cent.
The number of unemployed |
workers declined by AS, 900 last |
month. to 4,018, 900, Mr.. Gold
berg said. This was 1922, 900
below July. 1861. at an early
stage in the economy's recov-
cry from the 1960-61 recession.
Economic Indication
Civilian employment last
month totaled 69,564, 900, UP
$4,000 from the month before
and 1.065.000 from a year
earlier.
These figures on Jobs were
the first of a batch of July
economic indicators awaited by
President Kennedy as he tries
to decide whether to propose
emergency tax cuts this year
to stimulate the tagging econ
omy.
More important than the
limited economic significance
of the improvement reported
today is its probable political
impact.
The President repeatedly |
leans strongly to the idea that |
emergency tax cuts are desir-
able from an economic view
point. but he is worried about
political obstacles to tax re-
auctions. notably congressional
reaction to q proposal for re- |
ducing taxes now.
Mr.. Kennedy probably win
propose tax reductions only If
he obtains assurance that Con-
gress would approve the rec
concentrations promptly and
with a minimum of contro-
versy. Key members Of Congress !
in both parties are skeptical |
about the urgency Of tax cuts,
and probably would support |
reductions only If persuaded
that a recession is imminent.
Increase Skepticism
Today's job report almost
certainly will increase con-
gressional skepticism.
Mr.. Goldberg commented at
the news conference that amy
reduction in unemployment is
a good sign" but he noted that
some other economic indicators
recently have been bad,
He declined to state his views
on the desirability of tax cuts
this year, as opposed to the adj
ministration'S original plan to
wait until next year and COM
bine reductions with general
tax reform. l.
Today's figures lacked details
that will be available in about
10 days, so Mr.. Goldberg was
unable to offer any firm ex-
plantations Of the improvement.
He said one important factor
probably was strength in the
auto industry.
Last months employment
(69, 564 ,000 was the highest Of
any July on record.
Employment in agriculture
declined seasonally to 6,O64 900
in July from $4,000 the
month before and 6,453,O0O a
year earlier.
Employment outside agricul-
ture increased seasonallv to
63,500,000 in July from s., 249,-
600 the month before and g.
046,000 a year earlier.
Mr.. Goldberg reported that
921 900 workers had been un-
employed is weeks or longer in
July, down from 1908, 900 the
month before and 1,634,00O a
year earlier.

Channel BRIDGE
Passes Test
Only Tieup Come
At Constitution

WaShington-bound motorists
today moved at a brisk pace
into town via the new 81 mil
lion Washington Channel
Bridge and Twelfth Street Ex-
pressway.
Francis z. Twiss, District
traffic engineer, termed the
first morning rush-hour test of
the Potomac span and under
the-Mall expressway "a sue
cess"
But the obvious transpired.
Some drivers said that al
though crossing the new north
bound side Of the Fourteenth
Street bridge was a breeze,
there were tie-ups at the Con-
stitution avenue expressway
exit.
Police Inspector Lewis Peters
said the congestion seemed to
disappear from Fourteenth
street and independence ave-
nue. today.
Pattern Changed
The police helicopter report
ed that from the air the traffic
pattern seemed to be entirely
changed, and motorists who
stayed on Fourteenth street
seemed to have it all to them
selves"
Some minor changes might
have to be made at the Con-
Stitution avenue exit of the
Expressway, Inspector Peters
said.
Highway Department Off
Gals and police said two lanes
will be marked for right turns
later today to alleviate con-
gestion at the Constitution ave-
nue. exit.
Other motorists whose morn
ing trip took them east on
Constitution avenue complained
they were delayed by the new
traffic flow from the bridge
as much as 20 minutes.
Millions of visitors will en-
joy the scenic view from the
bridge in years to come, Dis
trict Commissioner John Dun
can said yesterday.
Mr.. Duncan, other District
officials, park administrators
and two members of Congress
spoke at ceremonies opening
the span.
Representative Fallon, Demo-
crat Of Maryland, called the
bridge view magnificent"
Cooperation between agen-
cieS and officials seemed to be
the theme of many speakers at
the ceremony on the bridge at
