Father WeigeI
Asked to Speak
At Gu Finals

The Rev. Gustave A. weigel,
a Jesuit professor Of theology
at Woodstock (Md.) College,
has been informally invited to
appear as commencement
speaker at Catholic University,
it was learned today.
Father Weigel, identified
with the liberal" or open
door" wing Of the Catholic
Church, was one Of the four
theologians who were not per-
mitted to appear at the UNI
versity on a student lecture
series.
The liberal wing Of the
church represents one view Of
issues discussed at the opening
Of the Ecumenical Council, now
in recess.
Father Weigel and the other
priests were not approved for
the student lecture series, 1t
was said, because their particle
patton might lead to a belief
that the school Is championing
these views.

PASADENA, Calf, Feb. %
(AP).-Scientists say they es-
tablished first radar contact
with the planet Mars by trans
hitting a 25-billion-watt signal
By the time the signal fin
ished its 125-million- mile round
trip, all that returned was one
billionth Of one trillionth Of q
watt. The rest was dissipated
in space.
But what remained was
enough to indicate Mars has
both rough and smooth sur
faces. similar to those Of the
earth and moon.
The California Institute of
Technology said yesterday that
scientists at its Jet Propulsion
Laboratory made the first con-
tact January 81 from the
Goldstone Tracking Station in
the California desert. The an
nouncement was delayed TO
permit time for data analysis.
Experiment Continues
The Mars experiment will
continue IL hours a day until
early March, when the planet
will move out Of radar range.
On February 2, when the
planet made its closest ap-
proach, the signal took Ill
minutes TO travel TO Mars and
back.
The contact on January 81
was the longest in distance ever
achieved until yesterday. when
signals from Goldstone were
bounced off the planet Venus
in a l80-million-mile round
trip. However, this contact was
much simpler than the Mars
signal transmission.

MIAMI BEACH. Fla. Feb. "a,
Top labor union leaders, 1t
was learned today, have decided
after much soall-seafching to
file a bitter protest with Presi-
dent Kennedy on his domestic
economic policies.
The biggest development yet
at AFL-CIO winter meetings
here is a secret session held on
the Kennedy economic pro-
gram. The labor leaders felt
the Presidents proposals, in
Guiding his tax reduction plan,
are too feeble, even If enacted
by Congress, to effectively curb
unemployment.
The question was how far
labor wanted to 60. as a polit-

time two TO four on-site in
spections per year and then
reneging on this offer.
The American and British
delegates at the 17-nation dis
armament conference have
denied repeatedly that any
such offer was ever made by
the Western side.
Mr.. Kuznetsov brushed aside
the American offer earlier this
week to negotiate the number
OF on-site inspections II the
discussions were broadened tn
include the entire control ar
rangements.
This would sidetrack the
conference into secondary is
sues, Mr.. Kuznetsov declared,
adding:
"If we cannot get agreement
on the main issues, discussion
OF secondary matters will pro-
long reaching an agreement.
In suggesting q broadening
Of the discussions to the en-
tire control arrangements, Mr.
Kuznetsov thus rejected q
move by Italy for the United
States, Britain and the Soviet
Union to revive their tNDks or
q nuclear test ban before the
end Of the week.
He charged the Western
powers with presenting the So
Wet Union an ultimatum on
the inspection issue and seek
ing to exert pressure in the ne
gotiations by resuming nuclea

tests in defiance Of United Ma
tons resolutions.

OF two more important tests
underground" she said. "In do
ing this, the United States has
assumed 9 grave responsible
ity."
Mr.. Kuznetsov claimed the
Soviet Union undertook the re-
cent private three-power talks
in Washington and New York
on the understanding that two
or three on-site inspections
were acceptable to the Western
powers.
May Lose Everything
I'm Washington and again
here the West had been trying
to renegotiate what we thought
had been agreed upon" he de-
clared.
Those who ask too high a
price might end up losing ev-
erything altogether"
He denied that the Western
demand for eight to 10 inspec-
tons was based on scientific
considerations. II this were
true. he asserted, the United
States should be subject to
more inspections than the So
Wet Union because 1t has more
seimically unstable areas than
Russia.
1t was the first time such a
Soviet claim had been made.

Labor to Hand Kennedy
Harsh Economy Protest

ing criticism Of Kennedy poll
cies
Statements Forthcoming :
The decision-aiter thorough
debate, the details of which
are yet unknown+is that the
AFL-CIo has prepared state
ments for weekend release
that will hit only mildly al
Kennedy tax and general eco
nomic policies.
The statements will not men,
ton, however. that George
Meany, AFL-CIO, president
and other top federation lead
ers, including Walter Reuther
Auto Workers Union president
have agreed to convey person
ally much stronger objections
to the White House.
From talking with union
chiefs, 1t is obvious that they
are disappointed at the do
mestic economic results during
the first half of the Kennedy
administration. Acutely aware
Of the Presidents troubles with
a balky Congress. they never
theless feel that he could have
done more.
On the other hand. they de-
cided not to say as much
publicly. Mr.. Reuther wanted
to hit much harder at Mr..
Kennedy personally in state
ments drafted for public con-
sumption outlining labor eco
nomic views. Mr.. Reuther pro-
posed language that was bitter
and caustic against Mr.. Ken
nedy, 1t was learned.
Meany Takes Issue
Mr.. Meany, however, report
edly urged a more diplomatic
approach. He was said to have
told Mr.. Reuther that he agreed
with every word Mr.. Reuther
wanted to say but questioned
the wisdom Of saying it publicly
Finally, 1t was decided to
seek an early appointment with
President Kennedy so the labor
leaders could deliver their harsh
criticism privately to the Chief
Executive.
This compromising came
amid a good deal Of praise for
some things that President
Kennedy is doing.
For one thing, the union
chiefs expressed gratitude over
the Presidents orders extend
ing for the first time formal
recognition Of Federal employe
labor unions. They said this
has resulted in a substantial
membership gain among Fed
eral worker unions.
About 100000 Of the 2.5 mil
lion Federal employees already
are AFL-CIo- members.
