But a Pentagon spokesman said the vessels are outside the re stricted zone surrounding Christ' mas Island, and are within their rights. No action is planned ex .cept to warn them of possible daft ger from the explosions, he said. The ships are only 10 to 15 miles outside the restricted area about 400 miles west of Christmas Is land, he said, and have ignored efforts by American vessels to warn them of danger. Recalling that the Russians complained of fallout danger to one of its vessels in the 1958 Pa cific tests, the spokesman said they apparently are not concerned about such danger now. Ship Identified The largest of Hie Russian ves sels was identified as the 3,600 ton hydro-meteorological ship Sho kal 'Skiy. It was said to have a great variety of electronic de vices, IS laboratories and a pad for launching rockets capable of reaching lonisphere. It is accompanied by two small- er ships, which are converted trawlers equipped to obtain aux iliary electronic data. The Pentagon spokesman said the ships can obtain information on weapons design through "radio chemical" analysis. They can measure the size of the nuclear test explosions as well as deter mining their exact time and po sition. To reach their present positions, the Soviet ships cross the restrict ed area around Johnston Island, the spokesman said. Has No Power In answer to a question, he said that even within, the restricted area the United States has no power except to warn ships of danger. "Although they are currently Just outside the restricted boun daries, they have ignored a U.S. naval destroyer which approached to warn them of possible danger," the spokesman said. He added: "Following the last U.S. nuclear test conducted in the Pacific in 1958 the Soviets complained that another of their research ships had suffered fallout damage, and protested to the United States.

They said Uiey saw , no "serious implications" in the; trend from the standpoint of infla- j hon, however. The index now has risen by seven-tenths of 1 ner cent since1 Janoarv-or more than it climhed during the entire 12 months last year. An estimated one million work ers whose wages are tied to the index will get one or two-cent hourly pay increases based on the increase in the eost-of-uving meas uring rod. They include workers in the auto, farm equipment and aerospace industries. Robert J. Meyers, deputy com missioner of labor statistics, told a news conference the April in crease was "an irregular little jump in a period of long price stability that should continue at least the rest of this year. He said he believed the index would not climb more than Vi to 2 per cent this year despite Die unexpected rise in living cost this spring. Used car prices were up by more than 4.4 per cent in April. Gasoline costs rose nearly 3 per cent. Myers said used car price tags. now close to uieir post-Korean War high, may be climbing be cause more families now operate two cars and do not irade in their old car when they buy a new one. Tiigher prices for fresh fruits and vegetables were blamed on bad weather that ait sharply into early spring yields. The March to April increase was the steepest monthly rise since 1A55. Fresh fruits were up almost 6 per cent. Vegetables average 8 per cent higher.

The right arm of Everett Knowies Jr., SomerviSie, Mass., was torn from his shoulder Wednesday when he was hit by " ... a Boston & Maine Railroad train. His condition at Massachusetts General Hospital today was listed as fair. But he remained on the danger list. A team of surgeons performed a six hour operation on ihe boy to put the arm back in place. They had to repair fractured bones, skin and tissue damage and rejoin vital blood vessels. Dr. Henry L. Edmunds Jr. said there was a noticeable pulse in the boy's right wrist after the op eration, indicating a good supply of blood was reaching the arm. !f successful, the operation would make medical history. Medical officials here said that to their knowledge such a feat never had been accomplished. But the fight is only beginning, it will take four to six weeks be fore doctors will know if even the toge ha been successful, It will take from two to five j years to learn the final outcome of the operation.
