JFK Calls Test Ban "Hope For More Peaceful World

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy said Thursday the new nuclear test ban offers protection for US. security and some hope for a more peaceful world" He predicted ultimate Senate ratifi- cation.
 And, in reply to a news confer ence question, Kennedy said this country will continue under ground nuclear tests.
 The test ban treaty initialed in Moscow last week is to be formal ly signed on Monday, but will not become binding upon the United States until the Senate approves it.
 When a reporter told the Pre- sident that the attitude of many senators now seemed to be one of waiting to see more about the treaty. Kennedy replied that there is nothing wrong with waiting and seeing.
 He said his judgment is that when all the evidence is in, the treaty will be ratified. It gives some hope - which may not be realized - he said, of moving to- ward a more peaceful world. He said the matter should be consid- cred carefully, but that senators will vote "yes" after hearing from diplomatic and military leaders.
 There was question as to whe- ther the United States might give nuclear weapons, or know-how, to France.
 Kennedy said the United States and Britain have been in touch with French authorities on the protection of interests of all three countries in connection with the nuclear test ban.
 He said the United States had offered assistance to France on a number of occasions for defense purposes.

Pravda Compares Chinese To 'BellicOse ImperialistS'

MOSCOW R - Pravda yeSter- day compared the leaders of Red China to "bellicose imperialists."
 Attacking with a bitterness once reserved for the West, the Con- munist party newspaper flayed Peking for its opposition to the Soviet British-American nuclear test ban treaty.
 The Chinese Communist govern ment earlier this week called it a dirty fraud"
 Pravda retorted: Don't the Chinese comrades see that their views are linked to the positions of the most frenzied, most belli- cose imperialist circles which are opposed to a restriction of the nuclear weapons race?"
 In Peking, the official Peoples Daily continued its intensive cam paign against the treaty, saying the Soviet Union had 'capitulated step by step since 1946 on the nue. lear test issue.

Howard Green has announced an increase in the price of bottled propane. He explained that since he has been handling this item, which is over a period of eight years, the actual increase in the cost of the propane itself has been only half a cent per pound. On the other hand there have been several freight increases so that now the freight alone on a single cylinder of gas for the round trip between Seattle and Nome is $11.90.
 Previous freight increases were absorbed by the dealer but he now finds it necessary to pass on some of the last freight rate increase to his customers.

Grafton between the private
citizen and his department.
Urging citizens to use the
Sweep-up and pickup techni-
que in cleaning their outside
property, he pointed to the
practice Of sweeping refuse
into the gutter as major prob
lem.
Mr.. Xanten also called for
citizen initiative in keeping
tree-box spaces clean and free
Of weeds.
People must be m a d e
ashamed of themselves" Mr..
Xanten said, Gin order for the
the anti-litter campaign to
succeed. No law can be en-
voked to engender civic pride
where it does not exist, the
expenditure Of more and more
tax dollars will not make up
the difference.
Litter Against Law

group that littering is against
the law, and policemen were
constantly telling people to
keep the streets clean.
I'VE are undetermined,
the lieutenant continued, but
we do as much as we can to

and debris"

cheering, discussed the clean

tions are ideal for flies, mos
quitoes and other pests.
