New Fabrics On
The Market

Have you been buying material
recently? If so, you have prob
ably been delighted at the many
new fabrics on the market.
Katie Thomas, County Exten-
sion Agent, says blends of natural
with man-made fibers continue to
multiply through research.
Sometimes as many as four
fibers combine for a particular eff
feet, quality or performance, she
says. Nubby tweeds are woven
from wool and rayon. Supple suit
ings combine silk with worsted.
Double knits in man-made fibers
or blends have textured weaves.
And there are acetate and nyloh
jerseys as we'll as luxurious bro
cades. These are all h e v
chemistry.
Stretch fabrics are goin
glamorous with jacquard designs
and metal glitter. Man-made pile
fabrics become more natural every
year, as we'll as appearing in gay
colors New for the home sewer
are. the synthetic feathers n d
suedes.
Mrs. Thomas says real feathers
are being used for trims as well
as entire coats, jackets and skirts.
Surface and texture interest Of
fer new excitement in fall fabrics
going to great lengths to provide
new effects and unusual treat
ments. For example, you will find
loops, stubs and curls which add
/ importance to bulky, light as air
coatings.
A greater variety of fake furs

simulate almost any natural fur.
Mrs Thomas warns home seam
stresses that, when buying these
new fabrics, it is important to get
information on care of the fabric.

The United States has fired

thousands of miles apart-one
underground in Nevada, the
other a mushrooming burst over
the Pacific.
The Pacific shot yesterday
was the second in the new
American series Of atmospheric
tests. And. according to the
terse Atomic Energy Commits
sion announcement. it was
pretty much a repeat perform
ance. of Wednesdays leadoff
blast.
The device, dropped from a
plane in the vicinity of Christ
mas Island shortly after sun
rise, frightened the sky over
the Central Pacific.
The detonatlOn was described
as in the intermediate range
having more explosive power
than ?C,"~cGG tons OF TINT but
less than one million tons.
This would make it } to %
times more powerful than the
World War II atomic bomb
that blasted Hiroshima but
weak when judged by the power
of 20-megaton hydrogen bombs
Yesterdays Nevada test was
the 30th underground blast to
be reported by the Acc since
the series was launched last

POLICY
U. S., British Talks
ToCover Wide Field

The Western powers have fatty
refused.
At the moment the deadlock
is complete on this point. But
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
A. Gromyko remarked in a
speech in Moscow this week
that there were various ways
of dealing with the problem.
Mr.. Rusk would like to know
what he has in mind.
Mr.. RuSk also is understood
to have told Mr.. Dobrynin that
on other Berlin questions he
thinks Mr.. Gromyko somewhat
distorted the Western position
as developed in earlier explora-
tory talks. Mr.. Gromyko, for
example, linked a solution of
the access problem to a demon
stration of Western respect for
the sovereignty of Communist
East Germany.
Mr.. RuSk has said publicly
that creation of an interna-
tional authority proposed by
the West to operate the Berlin
supply lines would not involve
recognition of East German
sovereignty.
( Mr.. Rusk also has objected
publicly to the idea that a gen.
eral ban on the spread of
nuclear weapons would be
directed particularly against
West Germany. The Western
powers. according to the United
States position, have always
been willing to make an agree
ment to prohibit the spread of
nuclear weapons but do not
consider that such an agree
ment would be directed against
any particular country.
Rusk Talked Most
Informed sources said there
was no exchange of papers at
the meeting and that Mr.. Rusk
did most of the talking. Mr..
Dobrynin's main role was re-
portedly to listen and report
back to Moscow so he can get
another batch of instructions
for his next session with Mr..
Rusk.
Mr.. Dobrynin was accom-
panied by Georgi M. Konienko,
a counselor at the embassy,
while Assistant Secretary of
State for European Affairs Foy
D. Kohler sat in with Mr.. Rusk.
Previously Mr.. RuSk and Mr..
Dobrynin, who speaks fluent
English, had met alone.
This was the first time in
their three meetings so far that
Mr.. Rusk and Mr.. Dobrynin
have gone deeply into the sub
stance of the questions in
volved in the Berlin dispute
The earlier meetings, on April
l6 and %, were said to have
dealt mainly with procedure
for future talks.

record books. 1t was the first
time shots were detonated at
widely separated test sites on a
single day, but not the first
time a days testing included
two or more blasts. Acc rec
ords show three tests were set
off at the Nevada grounds on
October %, 1858.
The American tests in the
atmoSphere-the first by the
United States since October 80.
1858, just before the voluntary
moratorium went into effect
will be dealt with in talks
starting today between Presi-
dent Kennedy and British
Prime Minister Macmillan.
They are expected to issue a
statement stresSing Unite d
States willingness to break off
the Pacific tests whenever Rus
sia will sign a reliable test ban
treaty.
1t was understood that the
first two Pacific test CXplo-
sionS had to do with checking
out a device still IN the re-
search and development stage
rather than a finished atomic
weapon.
The planes used in Wednes-
days and yesterdays tests
were probably B-52 or B Al
bombers. Thus the explosion
likely was triggered at a rela
lively low altitude, below 30
900 feet.
Later shots at the second
Pacific site. Johnston Island
will be carried aloft on missiles
and fired from 80 miles tc
several hundred miles above
the Pacific.
All in all. the United States
is expected to shoot off about
three dozen nuclear weapons
and devices within two months
