man said.
The To-day strike by clerks,

other employees began July 4
and is scheduled to end July II.
The strikers union - along
with other italian government
employees unions is seeking
improved wage scales and ad-
ministrative reforms. The en-
bassy employees also are seeking

corded high level personnel

Union members at some en-

that operations were paralyzed

The Foreign Ministry here
said, however, that essential
services such as issuing visas
have been assured by higher

Informed United States Off
cials believe the Russians still
are a long way from achieving
q combat-ready anti-miSSile-
missile system.
They are not disputing that
the Russians may have de-
veloped an anti-miSSile rocket,
as Soviet Premier KhruShchev
claimed yesterday. But they
stress that development Of such
a rocket is only part--and not
the most difficult part-of the
problem of fashioning a COM
plete anti-missile system, with
its associated radar and other
highly sensitive and complex
gear.
One Of the biggest problems
AS the United States has
found In its work with the
Nike-zeus anti-misSile system
lis to protect radar that can
discriminate between o,lcoming
warheads and decoys sent out
by an enemy TO confuse and
foil the defenses.
Anti Bomber Radar
One official familiar with in
telhgence reports said the Rus
slams have been emplacinR
large numbers Of fairly power
full radar units, but that this
radar is believed able to reach
no higher than perhaps 100, 900
feet and apparently Is part
Of defenseS against manned
bombers.
He said there Is no informa-
ton here to indicate the Rus
slams have developed an op-
irrational anti-missile warhead,
as distinguished from a re-
search and test model.
1t is known that the Rus
slams last september exploded,
high above the earth, a nu-
clear test device that had some
OF the characteristics of an
anti-miSsile weapon.
President Kennedy, in a
broadcast four months ago, an
nouncing plans to resume
United States nuclear testing

aimed, in part, at Improving

The letter carriers, which
campaigned on the basis Of

got a handful of votes from
UFPC members and some of
the other groups, but rot near
ly enough to give it exclusive
recognition for all postal en-
ployes. Some observers felt the
letter carriers move was a
strategic one to assure it the
greatest total vcses Of all postal
ennploye unions and thus give
lit a prestige victory over the
UFPC. Although both are ALL
CLIO affiliates and both repre-
sent different crafts, the two
groups have always tried to

It's expected that the Ma

Association will win exclusive

Those groups who do not
secure exclusive recognition
will get formal recognition al
