Soviets Refuse
Alleged Offer
To View Tests
Moscow 0.PD Russia an
nounced yesterday it h a s
turned down a U.S. invita
tion to send Soviet represent
atives to a laboratory demon
stration of American develop
ment of "clean" nuclear wea
pons. But the United States
said it never issued such an
invitation.
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. S. invitation on
ground that the test was aim
ed at providing a pretext to
justify the continuance of at
omic and hydrogen explo
sions.
The Soviet turndown of the
alleged American invitation
came shortly after Soviet Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev dis
closed he has agreed to Oct.
31 as a "suitable date" to
start talks with the United
States and Britain about end
ing nuclear tests. 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. Six others accepted,
and four did not reply for

H-Power Accord
By U.S., Britain
Geneva, Switzerland- (UPD -
The United States and Brit
ain last night removed the
last vestiges of secrecy from
their projects for harnessing
the H-bomb for peacetime
power. They said they expect
to acheve co-operation with
scientists of all countries-including
Russia.
A joint U. S.-British state
ment, issued as a preliminary
to the second Geneva interna
tional atoms-for-peace confer
ence, said the two govern
ments "have declassified the
programs of both countries for
research on the control of
thermonuclear reactions."
Lewis L. Strauss, head of
the U. S. delegation, said the
action was "absolute." Sir
John Cockcroft, chief British
delegate, said "the whole idea
is to . declassify the whole
field" involving use of the
H-bomb process for peacetime
power.
.The director of Russia's
atoms exhibit, a short time
earlier, expressed the hope
that world cooperation could
be achieved to harness the H
bomb and "free us from
need."

For Canyon Crash
Los Angeles - (UPD Two air
lines involved in history's
worst non-military air disas
ter which took 128 lives will
seek to place the blame for
the Grand Canyon in-flight

said at. a pre-trial hearing on
Friday on two civil suits for
a million and a half dollars
filed as a result of the June
30, 1956, collision that they
believed the CAA' was at
fault.

failed to "separate" traffic
in that area even though it
was aware that, both planes
were flying at the same alti
tude. --
The Civil Aeronautics
Board, which investigated the
crash in which all , persons
aboard both crafts lost their
lives, did not fix the blame
for the accident.

'Exosphere' Goal
Of Test Rockets
Cape Canaveral, Fla.. .-(UPD
-The second of two test rock
ets fired within two hours
soared aloft early yesterday
in an intense scientific effort
believed eventually at putting
a man in space.
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.
Primary purpose of the test
series, the Air Force said, is
to measure radiation with a
view towards learning how to
protect a human space, trav
eler. The rockets were fired
by the National Advisory
committee for Aeronautics
(NACA).

Grand Jury Critical
Oi Portland's Jail '
Portland-(UPD-A grand jury
report issued here Friday was
critical of conditions at the

A city finance plan would
provide $600,000 to add four j
stories onto the present two- j
story annex to the police' sta
tion, if approved by the vot-:

serted that "another $600,000 j
is just a little bigger patch in j
trying to rehabilitate an im
possible building."
The report, said odors from
one overcrowded dormitory
in the jail, combined with the
smell from the kitchen, was
"beyond description."

Gary's receipt of blood
seemed jeopardized earlier
because of a state law requir
ing blood transported into
Louisiana to be labeled
"white" or "negro." ,
The Red Cross does not

Two Couples Die
In Plane Crash
Pendleton, Ore.-(UPD - Two
Spokane couples were found
dead in the wreckage of their

lie Claude McMahon, all of
Spokane, apparently died in
stantly when their light
orange and silver craft nosed
into a flat stubblefield near
the community of Gibbon.
The Umatilla county sher
iff's office at first speculated
that the wreckage was several
days old but Raymond E.
Harper, a brother of Mrs.
McMahon, said the four took
off only Friday morning for
a holiday trip to Las Vegas.
They did not file a flight
plan before they took off from
Felts field, he said. There had
been no missing plane report
and the wreck was found by
two Gibbon area ranchers.
Russia May Try
'Manshot' Soon
Moscow (UPD - Western ob
servers speculated yesterday
that Russia will try soon to
shoot a man into space, after
completing a few more ex
periments with animals.
The speculation was in
spired by Friday's announce
ment that the second Soviet
"space kennel" had success
fully carried two dogs to an
altitude of 280 miles and
brought them safely back to
earth.
Soviet sources, while mak
ing no secret of the fact that
they hope the first spaceman
will speak Russian, have
given no indication as to how
soon they expect to launch a
manned rocket-but they sel
dom make any announcement
about work in progress until
it has been crowned with suc
cess. ,

King, 38, told reporters he
hopes to make admission of

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:

Plan In Brief
1. A network of about 180
control posts based on land
and sea.
2. 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.' A one
kiloton nuclear explosio"
considered small is the
