Premier Khrushchev's re-
newed interest in a partial
nuclear test ban treaty may be
a move to accept the United
States offer to rely on its own
inspection system before 1t can
be withdrawn. now that i'm
projections in it have cropped
up.
American officials who
warmly welcomed what seemed
to be Russian acceptance Of q
nine-month-old Anglo Ameri-
can proposal acknowledged to-
day that the apparent incon-
clusiveneSS Of American test
detectors may have played a
part in the offer Mr.. Khru-
shchev made yesterday in East
Berlin.
Soviet negotiators have re-
peatedly spurned a United
States draft treaty banning
nuclear tests in the atmosphere,
in space and under water be-
cause 1t would 'legalize," they
said, underground nuclcar
testing.

Khrushchev Proposes

If the non-aggression pact

The Russians did propose in
November. 1861. q ban on al
but underwater tests, providing
the West would accept an un-
inspected moratorium on under
ground testing. The West re-
fused the condition. Thereafter
the Russians insisted on an all
