New Test Ban
Talks Called

GENEVA, Aug. "a (AP).-
The three nuclear powers
agreed today to resume nego-
tiations Tuesday for a test ban
treaty.
Arthur H. Dean Of the United
States stressed, however, that
the gap between East and West
on the nuclear test ban issue
has not been narrowed in pri-
vate talks with Vastly v.
Kuznetsov, Soviet Deputy For
eign Minister.
The 17-nation disarmament
conferences nuclear test bar
subcommittee suspended its
meetings two weeks ago because
of a tight deadlock over So
Wet refusal to accept the prin-
ciple of on-site inspections to
police a ban on underground
explosions.
Mr.. Dean ana Mr.. kuZnetSoV
announced to the conference,
however. their agreement in
private talks to undertake new
negotiations. Mr.. Dean said
Britain. the other party to the
talks. had been fully consulted
on the decision
midas Arthur Lall and Am
baSSador Fattah HaSSan of the
United Arab Republic had
urged Mr.. Dean and Mr.. Kuz-
netsov to hold private meetings
with a view to getting the
nuclear talks started again
Mr.. Lall claimed the differ

where an agreement was within
reach.

Star Seienes Writer

The Space Agency has a busy
fall and winter ahead of it. a
survey of plans for the coming
several months indicated today.
A score of major launchings.
plus several less spectacular
ones, are on the docket for the
remainder of this year and the
first three months Of 1868.
They range from weather satel-
lite shots to one-day manned
orbital attempts and include
two launchings Of the big SUI
per-rocker, Saturn CT.
"DO First; Talk Later"
NASA has never made public
such a detailed, comprehensive
list of its plans. However, the
schedule has been circulated
among NASA management Of
ficials in q booklet marked
mot for general distribution"
The booklet. entitled Pocket
Statistics" is not classified in
the usual sense and appears
to contain no Government Sc
crets.
A tip-off to the reason for
withholding Pocket Statistics"
from the general public may be
contained in a policy note" at
the back of the booklet. which
rather surprisingly states that
lit is NASA's policy to do first
and talk later. Our record
should be built on the sound
foundation of solid achieve
ment."
The flight schedule in "Pock-

Air Force Sees Death Roys
As Major Space Weapons

could be accomplished more
quickly, more surely and more
accurately than modern nu-
clear or INT weapons could
do 1t.
The new administration Is
committed to q military de-
tense that will at least try to
confine destruction to enemy
weapons. Mass destruction of
cities will be avoided If pos
sible.
There is an extra premium,
then, on precise weapons. The
various processes of coherent
energy release may provide
this precision - If they are
used from satellites.
Thus, the Air Force theoretri-
clans say they have a specific
proposal for useful fighting
from space.
Cite Problems
Defense Department civilian
scientists point out problems
with these weapons, however.
First, no one has ever made
one: scientists have only ex-
perimented with laboratory
models. Second. they require a
great deal of power. and it is
hard to get large power plants
into orbit. Third. the masers
require a large antenna-one,
say. so feet in diameter.
Fourth. enemy weapons may be
shielded against the energy
beams.
The Air Force reply is that
these problems should be tack
led in a vigorous research and
development program, mean
while going ahead with satellite
systems that could some day
lead to maser-laser platforms
The power supply. the Air
Force says. could come from
small units which could build
up power over a period of time
and then release it in one big
burst. The antenna is easy on
q satellite: You launch the
satellite and then initiate or
unfold an antenna. And, the
Air Force argues, effective
shielding Of ICBMs, for in
stance, seems impossible.

Want Proof First

The administration, however,
does not want to invest money
in space weapons which can
not be shown in advance to be
a substantial improvement over
air, sea or ground weapons.
The administration is develop
ing only auxiliary space Sys-
TENS, like reconnaissance and
communication satellites, to
work with more conventional
weapons.
The Air Force now hopes to
prove that the coherent-energy-
release weapons used in space
will. in fact. be an improve
ment over other weapons.
Actually, they are q labora,
tory method Of magnifying anC
TRANSMIT tin g electromagnetic
energy-light waves and radio
waves. for instance. When light
is used, the gadgets are called
"laSerS": the radio or radar
systems are called maSers."
LaSerS are devices which null
tiply many, many times the

then send 1t in a narrow beam
to a distant target. When 1t
hits a man it burns him to a
crisp. When it hits a thin sheet
Of metal it burns a hole.
Could Destroy Weapon
When radar-wave masers are
used. they can foul up elec-
tronic devices-the guidance
system Of a missile, for in
stance.
A laser or maser system
mounted on a satellite could in
theory send a beam at an
enemy weapon on the ground, In
the air or In space and destroy
it. There would be no cumber-

Coherent energy release
weapons"-sort Of electromag-
netic death rays-could become
major offensive weapons in
space, Air Force officers say.
These weapons. in the labo-
ratory and dream stage now,
could permit men in space ships
to destroy enemy weapons by
projecting beams Of energy at
them. They would be more
effective. in theory, than any
other weapon that could be car
ried in a bomber or launched
from the ground or sea.
The Air Force is particularly
interested in these weapons to-
day because they are the one
concrete answer that "aero-
space" officers can give to crit
les who challenge them to name
ways they will be able to fight
more effectively from space
than from the air or ground.
Coherent energy release tech
niqueS. then, provide not only
weapon ideas but also a po-
tential means Of helping to
maneuver the Air Force into
space.
Arguments Understandable
These weapons do not repre-
sent the major justification for
the Air Force request for a
greater share in the Nations
space program but they do
provide arguments that can be
understood easily.
The basic Air Force argument
is this: The United States is
committed to freedom of
space" just as it has always
stood for freedom Of the seas. 4"
To maintain this freedom, there
must be weapons patrolling
space, Just as warShips patrol
the seven seas.
Exactly how the patrol will
be done best. the Air Force does
not claim to be able to predict
just as the Navy 20 years ago
could not predict weapons and
tactics of today.
But the Air Force says the
only way to find the right way
to patrol space is to go up
there and try it. Airman want
to try it fast, faster than the
Russians.

Senators Seek
ToAdd Riders
To Tax Bill
By J. A. OTEARY
Star STAFF Writer

The administrations tax re-
vision bill. already endangered
by sharp controversy. may be-
come the vehicle for a wide
variety Of welfare proposals in
which taxation is incidental.
AS q starter, Senate Repub-
lican Leader Dirksen an
nounced that he will offer five
amendments, four of which are
intended to help elderly per-
sons.
Although amendments Of
fered by one Senator during
floor debate usually face an
uphill fight. some Of the Dirk
sen proposals may attract con-
siderable support in an cleo
ton year.
But the main fight when the
tax debate starts Monday will
Zoe over the drive launched yes
terday by Democratic Senators
Douglas Of Illinois and Gore OF
Tennessee to restore many OF
the original recommendation
of the President, which were
dropped out as the bill moved
slowly through House and Sen
ate committees.
Outline 5 Changes
Senators Douglas and Gore
outlined five major changes
they will try to make in the
bill. as follows:
1. To strike out the Z per
cent tax credit to companies
for money spent on new ma
chinery and equipment, which
they say has been "mangled'
from the form in which the
President asked for it.
2. Restore the Withholding
system for collecting the tar
on dividend and interest in
come. which the Finance Com
mittee eliminated after it had
passed the House.
3. Eliminate the special tax
treatment accorded income
from foreign subsidiaries OF
American companies, and re-
quire such income to be taxed
on an annual basis no matter
where 1t is earned.
4. Put q stop to expense &C
count abuses, by limiting this
tax deduction to $50 q day
with no entertainment.
S. Remove the section which
grants tax deduction for lobby
ing expenses.
Byrd Backs Move
On one of these points
elimination Of the z per cent
investment credit - Senator's
Douglas and Gore will have as
an ally the influential chair
man of the Finance Commit
tee, Senator Harry F. Byrd OF
Virginia.
Although Senators Douglas
and Gore will be fighting for
the Presidents original pro.
gram most of the time, they
had no information yesterday
as to what stand the Demo
cratic leadership in the Senat,
would take on their amend
mentS.
Leaders will try to pass the
tax bill, and send it to con-
ference with the House before
Labor Day. but Senator Dirksen
indicated it could take longer
The Republican leader told
reporters he is preparing to Of
fer the following programs as
riders on the tax bill:
A controversial House
measure, which has been pend
ing in Congress for years, to
allow professional people to fl
nance their own retirement, by
being allowed to set aside a
flat sum annually and deduct
it from taxes.
