On Nuclear tests
First Big Soviet
'No' at Conference
London HP) Russia today re
jected the new western proposal
for a 10-month suspension of nu
clear tests linked to halting
atomic and hydrogen bomb pro
duction.
It was the first big Soviet
"no" to the new American dis
armament plan now being de
bated at the five-power London
Disarmament conference.
Deputy Foreign Minister Val
erian Zorin told tne disarma
ment conference there was no
point to linking the test suspen
sions with nuclear bomb produc
tion, a proposal which is one of
the West s basic demands. .
Wants No Condition!
He reiterated Russia's demand
for a two or three years suspen
sion without conditions.
He also rejected Western pro
posals to set experts to work at
once on details of an inspection
system to enforce the suspen
sion of tests.
Zorin's 90-minute speech fol
lowed a Radio Moscow broad
cast that warned the West
against expecting concessions on
disarmament as a result of the
Kremlin shakeup last week.
British Foreign Secretary Sel
wyn Lloyd immediately termed
Zorin's address "disappointing."
Stassen Wants Tima
U.S. chief delegate Harold E
Stassen, however, told the con
ference that the speech was too
long and important to be dealt
with summarily and he wanted
more time to study it.
It was not immediately clear,
officials said, whether Zorin was
flatly rejecting the western pro
posal- of last-week or restating
an adamant Russian position.
At any rate, his reiteration of
Soviet desire for immediate sus
pension of tests offered no con
cession to the West.

EGON,
Luxury Vessel
Stuck Between
Two Coral Reefs
700 Passengers Aboard
En Route To Liverpool
Hamilton, Bermuda HP) The
luxury liner Rcina del Pacifico
went hard aground between two
coral reefs in Bermuda's north
channel at high tide today. It
had a 15 degree list to star
board, which increased as the
tide went out.
Liverpool reports said the
Reina del Pacifico, a 17,872-ton
vessel owned by the Pacific
Steam Navigation Company, was
bound for Liverpool from Chile
with about 700 passengers
aboard. It left Havana, Cuba,
July 4 and was due in the Eng
lish port July 18.
On Way to Liverpool
The luxury ship grounded in
the narrow, twisting channel at
the northern end of this island
colony early today. It sailed
from Hamilton a half hour
earlier on its outward trip for
Liverpool.
The vessel went aground at
high tide about the same spot
in which the U.S. submarine
Grenadier grounded Aug. 13,
1956.
Tugs were attempting to pull
off the vessel from the reefs, but
there was little hope they would
be successful until high tide late
this afternoon.
The headquarters of the Pa
cmc Navigation .Company in
Liverpool reported that a brief
radio report there from the
ship's captain did not indicate
there was any major damage.
Assistance Asked
U.S. Coast Guard headquar
ters in New York said the Reina
del Pacifico's captain had asked
assistance from the Coast Guard
cutter Castlerock which was at
the scene. The Coast Guard said
the liner's skipper asked help
from the Castlerock because he
did not think the one commer
cial tug at hand was powerful
enough to pull his ship free.
The Reina del Pacifico Queen
of the Pacific was built in 1931
at Belfast, Northern Ireland, and
has been one of the main British
ships in the South American
trade. It is powered by four
die'sel engines.

Knowland Moves
For Consideration
Of House Measure
Motion Expected To
Bring Long Debate
Washington W The civil
rights "battle of the century"
began in the Senate today.
Republican leader William F.
Knowland of California obtained
the floor and made a five-minute
speech which he ended by
formally moving that the Sen
ate consider the administration's
bill as passed by the House.
That motion will be debated
for a week or more. If it is
adopted, there promises to be
weeks more of debate and
filibuster before the late of
the civil rights proposals is
determined.
Knowland made his motion as
scheduled despite a southern
move in the House to recall the
measure because of a printing
errur in the copy originally sent
to the Senate.
Sen. Richard B. Russell (D
Ga.), leader of the southern bloc
opposing the bill, immediately
raised the point on the Senate
floor when Knowland put into
the record a copy of the House
till as corrected.
Russell contended that it was
not the bill which the Senate
put on the calendar last month
by 45-39 votes.
In answer to Russell's question
as to who had prepared the cor
rected copy, Knowland said that
it was done "under normal pro
cedure." Knowland told newsmen as
the session opened that he
"hoped" for a vote on the mo
tion by the end of the week.
but he would make no flat pre
diction. And he predicted It would
take "six weeks, maybe longer"
to get a vote on final passage.
The motion was expected to
signal the start of a "discussion"
by southern Democrats that
promises to become a filibuster
that will keep the Senate tied
up four to eight weeks and toss
on the scrap heap much of Presi
dent Eisenhower's remaining leg
islative program.
However, there were signs the
real, round-the-clock phase of the
talkathon might be delayed for
days or weeks. Southerners hava
indicated they may not stage an
all-out filibuster against the
mere motion to take up the bill.

Little opposition to the plan
was voiced by the board except
that Sen. Walter Pearson, Port

ing salary of $210 for a clerk
typist might be too high when
compared with private industry.
Terry said his studies showed
that in no category would the
state be leading private industry
in pay.
