The Soviet News asencv Tass said here that the Sov iet ambassador in Washing ton delivered a note from his government to the State De partment last Thursday, re jecting the U.

In doing so, he left the door open for Rus sia to resume testing its own H-bombs until an East-West agreement is reached. On the question of the al leged invitation for Soviet representatives to attend a U. S. laboratory demonstra tion, the State Department in Washington said the Kremlin was all wrong. The department said that last April the United States invited 14 countries, includ ing the Soviet Union, to wit ness an explosion of a "clean" nuclear weapon during tests in the Pacific this summer. The nations invited were the members of a UN committee investigating radiation effects. Russia, Czechoslovakia, In dia and the United Arab Re public turned down the invi tation.

The Air Force said the rockets were of the same type as those fired Aug. 15 and last Tuesday. That meant they were five-stage vehicles sent up to explore the "exo sphere," the thin part of the earth's atmosphere starting 400 miles up.

Crating & Packing Phone SP 2-6273 Phone MU 2-8552 PoDScong Plan Adopted For MucDearTest Ian Washington - (UPD- Inter national atomic policemen will be stationed at 10 or 11 observation Dosts in the Unit ed States if the Geneva plan tor monitoring an East-West ban on nuclear weapons tests is adopted. Some 16 or 17 inspection posts out of a worldwide total of 180 would be in Russia. It would take a corps of about 5,400 scientific detec tives to man the worldwide monitoring system. They would be scientists and technicians recruited from around the world by an international control agency charged with remaining on constant guard against sneak nuclear tests. These figures were gleaned from a long report made pub lic yesterday on the recently concluded conference of east ern and western scientists at Geneva on technical means of policing a test ban. After sev en weeks of closed meetings the scientists agreed that it is "technically feasible" to set up "a workable and effec tive control system to detect violations of an agreement on the worldwide suspension of nuclear weapons tests." Not Fool Proof The scientists conceded that their recommended plan would not be foolproof. But they said it would be good enough to. make it risky for any nation to cheat. "The conference considers that whatever the precaution ary measures adopted by a violator he could not be guar anteed against exposure, par ticularly if account is taken of the carrying out of inspec tion at the site of a suspected explosions," ( the report said. President ' Eisenhower has hailed the Geneva agreement as an encouraging step on the road to world disarmament. He has proposed that the Unit ed States, Britain, and Rus sia begin negotiating a test ban Oct. 31 and has promised the United States will not test nuclear weapons for one year from the start of such negotia tions. At Geneva, the scientists carefully avoided political matters, leaving them for the proposed negotiations. But they made these chief tech nical recommendations for a control system: GIVE 'EM ROOM Palm Springs, Calif. -TJPB-Builders . of a new . shopping center are going all-out to at tract women shoppers.

The posts would be equipped with devices for de tecting nuclear explosions by collecting radioactive debris, recording seismic waves, re cording acoustic waves, and recording radio signals. 3. Regular air flights to col lect radioactive debris at high altitudes. 4. On-the-spot checks at any point on earth where there are suspicious signs of nuclear explosions. 5. A master control organ through which all information would be channeled by swift communications. The report said such a system would provide "good probability" of detecting .one kilotpn nuclear explosions on the earth's surface and six miles above, deep in the ocean and far underground.'
