Test Ban Talks
To End Soon

GENEVA, Jan. 16 (AP).-
The United States and Britain
formally agreed today to aban-
don the three-power nuclear
test ban talks and refer this
issue to the disarmament nego-
tiations expected to open in
Geneva in March. a
Charles C. Stelle of the
United States and Britain's Sir
Michael Wright announced
their governments agreement
to this Soviet demand at the
350th session of the nuclear
conference which resumed here
after a Christmas recess.
Western conference sources
said the two negotiators offered
the transfer of the test ban
talks in view of the Soviet
Unions adamant refusal even
to discuss a Western draft test
ban treaty providing interna-
tional controls.
The two powers, however,
rejected the Soviet plan for an
uncontrolled moratorium on
nuclear weapons testing. sub
mitted by the Russians two
months ago.
The Western delegates then
told Soviet negotiator Semyon
K. Tsarapkin that in view of
the situation the only alterna-
tive was to adjourn the con-
ference while the question of
an appropriately controlled nu-
clear test ban is considered
within the 18-nation disarma-
ment committee.
"The Western delegations u
a joint British American state
ment issued after the two-hour
session said, made it clear
that they would agree to ex-
anime the nuclear test ban
issue in the context of dis
armament negotiations only
because the Soviet government
has insisted that it will only
discuss international controls in
this context.

tions have resumed, the United

president Kennedy's) goal will
be met-possibly in advance of
the deadline." Mr.. Kennedy
called last May rs for a con-
certed drive to land men upon
the moon and bring them back
before this decade is out"
OF the drive to go into space.
Mr.. Miller said:
"Our need to lead in space
exploration is not merely a
matter of space survival; it is
not simply the result of a
normal impulse to surpass our
competitors, nor is 1t the result
of a selfish desire for the yet
undreamed-of conveniences and
luxuries which the mastering
OF space technology can create.
1T arises from a broader
and nobler purpose which has
existed in the hearts and minds
iof men since the first human
thought occurred-the need to
know, the need to grow, the
desire for fulfillment of the
ultimate destiny of mankind" !"
Another Meeting
Mr.. Miller'S speech was the
keynote address of one of two
highly technical scientific meet
ingS going on in Washington
this week. In addition to the
astronomical society's annual
convention. there was a sym
postum on Optical Character
Recognition" at the Depart

Boy, 13, Says
He Set Fire
Fatal to 05

CHICAGO, Jan. 16 (AP).-
Sergt. Drew Brown said today
a l3-year-old boy has made a
statement that he set the Our
Lady of the Angels School fire
that killed 95 persons in 1858.
Sergt. Brown, an expert of
the police bomb and arson
squad. said the statement is be-
ing checked. The boys name
was not made public.
In the statement, the boy
said he tossed lighted matches
into a cardboard waste barrel
near a stairwell in the base
ment of the West Side school.
The flames roared up to the
second floor of the two-story
structure, bringing death to 90
children and 3 nuns in one of
the worst disasters in Chicago's
history.
Sergt. Brown, who partic-
ipated in the investigation
from the time the flames were
quenched, said the point of
origin in the statement jibes
with his findings.
THAT checks" he told a re-
porter.
But, he added, the rest of
the statement is being checked
point by point.
In the statement, the boy
said he set the blaze because
he hated school and liked to
hear the sound of fire engine
sirens.
The boy was in the fifth
grade of Our Lady of the An
gels School at the time of the
fire. He now is in the eighth
grade in a west suburban
school.
