Draft Of Pact
For Test Ban
British Support
Is Expected at

By EARL H. VOSS
Star Staff Writer

Tne United States has COM
pleted drafting a new nuclear
test ban treaty Incorporating
changes offered in the Ameri-
can position since last August.
No decision has been made,
officials say, about when the
draft will be formally presented
at the 18-nation disarmament
conference in Geneva. Great
Britain is expected to join the
United States In sponsoring the
treaty.
The conference is in a brief
Easter recess but will resume
Wednesday. Another short re-
cess is expected for May Day,
spring holiday for the five
Communist members of the
conference.
Red Reaction Negative
Officials here said political
opposition in this country was
not delaying presentation of the
draft treaty at Geneva. The
Soviet Union has been extreme
ly negative toward the latest
American concessions.
United States Ambassador
Charles Stelle tabled an out
line Of the new Anglo-Ameri-
CAL position on April /, stress
ing arrangements for on . site
inspections.
The Stelle paper stated these
general principles:
81. There now exists q new
basis for agreement on a nu-
clear weapon test ban arising
from the exchange of letters be-
tween Chairman Khrushchev
and President Kennedy. Under
this basis for agreement each
nuclear side would place reli-
ance on its national detection
stations for the collection of
seismic data, supplemented by
the use Of automatic seismic
stations. -.
(This language omits the
possibility that the United
States could use seismic data
from the Soviet Unions sta
tions as supplementary infor-
nation along with the supple
mentary data from the un-
manned or automatic seismic
stations.)

A fleet Of Navy ships today
intensified the search for the
hull of the sunken submarine
Thresher so that the wreckage
can be examined to determine
the cause Of the tragedy.
Rear Admiral John Mccain,
Navy information chief, told a
Pentagon press conference to-
day the nuclear submarine
Seawolf has broken off its
search and is returning to port.
The Seawolf, he said, was
unable to locate the remains of
the Thresher, down in 3,400
feet of water off the New Eng
land coast with l29 men.
Will Use nv Cameras
The Seawolf had reported
detecting q motionless object
with its sonar and also heard"
banging noises. Admiral Nc
Cain told reporters, Il do not
believe the Seawolf found the
Thresher.
He explained that underwater
communication and sonar
search is very uncertain and
that the Seawolf probably was
misled by reflected sounds
from other vessels in the search
fleet.
The Navy plans to use special
television cameras suspended
from cables with searchlights
when the Thresher is PIN
pointed. This television equip
ment is lowered on a cable and
can photograph the wreckage
once it is found.

Mccain said. Is famed out

Secretary of the Navy Fred
Korth, after learning of the
reports that the atomic sub
marine Seawolf had detected
noises, issued an unequivocal
denial that any of the 129 men
aboard the Thresher could be
alive.
He expressed the fervent hope
that rumors and speculation
will cease, providing the be-
reaved families a more stable
climate in which to compose
themselves and endure their
grief.
'In this connection / have
the unequivocal assurance of
all those in a position to know,

absolutely no possibility that
there might be survivors"
The Thresher vanished 22O

day morning while under
going deep-diving tests after
nine months of overhaul in dry

May Never Know
Admiral George w. Anderson,
Chief Of Naval Operations, said
1t may never be learned what
caused the worst peacetime
tragedy in submarine history.
He said a court of inquiry

The steel industry tried
today TO figure out how high

But, he continued, selected
price adjustments, up or down,

not incompatible with a Frame
