the purpose of a test ban treaty
was to set up a minimum basic
machinery for international
control of a general disarma-
ment program.
Presumably, if the Russians
admitted the principle of some
10 international control CEN
tiers on their territory and the
right of international teams to
make on-site inspections of
suspicious developments, the
battle for international control
of disarmament would be more
than half won.
The same machinery, ex-
banded and modified, could be
used to police a general dis
armament agreement providing
the essential measure of veri-
fication and control without
which no disarmament pro-
gram is conceivable.
Reds Seek Propaganda
Since the principle has now
been decisively rejected, to the
Russians a discussion of a dis
armament plan here becomes
entirely academic-except as a
propaganda sounding board.
Even on this point the neu-
trail nations are showing them
selves rather more realistic
than might have been expected
in emphasizing the Importance
of inspection and control in any
disarmament scheme.
From what has been said so
far the experts have reached
the conclusion that the Rus
slams are far more interested
in continuing their own series
of nuclear tests than in reach
ing an agreement with the
West.
They can be expected, of
course, to unload the entire
blame for continuing their test
series on the United States
while effectively blocking any
effort to put an end to the
nuclear arms race.
And as long as this remains
the primary Russian objective,
the search for long-range solu-
tions will not get very far.

India, Brazil
Seek 10 End
Talk StaIenlate

GENEVA, Mar. II (AP).-In-
Ola and Brazil built up pressure
tonight on the Americans and
Russians to drop nuclear-test
plans while the 17-nation dis
armament talks are on.
The forthcoming American
atmospheric tests - and the
prospect of a tit-for-tat Soviet
responSe-emerged as the key
issue of the conference as an
East-West stalemate developed
over how to end the arms race.
Defense Minister v. K. Krish-
ma Menon Of India and Brazil
ian Foreign Minister Francisco
San Tiago Dantas took tea to-
gether today after formal and
informal approaches to the big
powers for some sort of pledge
to QUIT Establishing at once.
They charted plans to rally
support for their initiative
among the group of eight mid
dle-road nations taking part in
the our-day-old conference.
But their initial moves ap-
peared to have received little
encouragement from Secretary
of State Rusk or Soviet Foreign
Minister Gromyko. A qualified
informant reported that Mr..
Rusk told Mr.. Menon in pri-
vate talk yesterday the Amer
lean position remains as stated
by President Kennedy:
The United States is quite
willing to suspend announced
plans for an April series of
tests in the Pacific-but only
if Russia first signs a test-ban
treaty containing internation-
ally supervised safeguards to
bar cheating.
The source said Mr.. Grom-
yko's reply to Mr.. Menon ap-
peared equally discouraging:
Russia would waive her
threat to test again only if the
American series next month is
Cancelled. The Russian also
repeated Moscow's resolve to-
join general teSt-ban agree
ment only if it provides for ma
tional, not international, detec-
ton arrangements.
The eight noncommitted
states Brazil, Burma, Ethio-
pia, India, Mexico, Nigeria,
Sweden and the United Arab
Republic) showed signs of be-
ginning to function as a CO.
herent group.
There was talk among them
of an early combined initiative.
This could perhaps take the
form of a Joint appeal for a
deferment of all plans for fresh
nuclear test-firing in order to
give the negotiators more time
and scope.

West Finding No Real Progress
Is Possible Now on Disarmament
BY CROSBY S. MOVES

BY CROSBY S. MOVES
Foreign Correspondent of The Star
GENEVA. Mar. 17.-Despite
the moderate optimism of Off
cial statements, Western ex-
perts here have now reached
the quiet conclusion that no
real progress with Russia on
disarmament is possible at the
present time.
After a week of mostly pri-
vate negotiations on the ques-
tons of Berlin and a nuclear
test treaty, no perceptible give
In the Russian position has been
discovered.
And though the answers
given so far are not necessarily
regarded as final, prospects on
the basis of Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrea Gromyko's per-
Torrance could hardly be
darker,
Privacy Important
In fact what goes on in these
private meetings has been and
will continue to be much more
important that what is said
at. the public sessions of the
conference.
The outcome of the discus
sions on Berlin and a nuclear
test ban treaty have far more
direct bearing on the prospects
for general disarmament than
might appear on surface.
So far as Berlin is concerned,
the Russians have been advised
that as long as the crisis there
continues, there can be no
question of any disarmament
agreement with the west. Be- ,
fore any serious disarmament !,
measures can be contemplated,
there would have to be assur-
ances that the immediate threat !
to. the city was withdrawn and
would not be revived.
Assurances Lacking
Needless to say, ne such as ;
surances have been forthcom- {
ing from Mr.. Gromyko. Though 1
the incidents in the air corri- ,
doris which provided violent {
Western protests at the outset
of. the meetings seem to have
quoted down Russian demands
on the general question of Ber-
lin, they have shown no signs ]
of. softening.
Their position is almost ex-
actly the same as it was last
September before the latest Sc
ries of probes of Russian in :
tentions in Berlin began. !
Mr.. Gromyko is still demand i
ing Western recognition of the {
full sovereign rights of the East {
German puppet regime. And all
discussion of Western access I
rights to the city must, under I
the Russian terms, be decided S
within this framework. i
Access Not Negotiable !
For their part the Western
powers insist that any new
agreement on Berlin must be c
made directly with the Soviet /
Union and their presence in the S
city, their access to it and the v
rights of West Berliners are lie
not negotiable. IN
Neither side so far shows the
slightest sign of backing down t
on the Berlin issue. t
On the question of nuclear i
tests, the record written here =
has not been any more hope
full. Not only have the Russians
refused to renew the discussion
of the draft treaty broken off
last December, they also have
bluntly informed the West that
the only basis for future dis
cussion will be their own pro-
posal for test ban depending
entirely. on a national control
system and eliminating any in
spection on Russian territory.
An Obvious Connection
Here the connection with the
future of the disarmament
talks is only too painfully OBJ
vious. Quite apart from putting
an end to future nuclear tests,

You scrub down cupboards, wash dishes that have

Pine needles soft underfoot you haul trash to

conviction in a 5-4 decision.
Jones attorneys had sought
Supreme Court review on three
grounds-that all jurors who
said they opposed the death
penalty were automatically ex-

Jones as insane and, that the
prosecutor improperly brought
out before the jury that Jones
refused to make a statement
until he saw a lawyer.
