2 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford. Oregon, Sunday, November 2. 1958 U.S., Great Britain To Reject Russia's Jest Ban Proposal Geneva-OT) - The United States and Britain will reject Russia's demand for a per manent nuclear test ban as too full of pitfalls but will offer a counter-proposal to keep the threo-power Geneva talks going. It was learned yester day, i Sources said U. S. Delegate James J. Wadsworth and Brit ish Delegate David Ormsby Gore cabled Washington and London for new instructions to present at the next session of the conference with Soviet Delegate Semyon Tsarapkin on Monday. The American and British delegates conferred for two hours in private yesterday morning and then held an un scheduled 45-minute session with Tsarapkin. When the nu clear test talks opened in the Palais Des Nations Friday they agreed not to meet form ally again until Monday. Sources said the uRssians surprised the West with their opening-day proposal for a draft treaty that would ban all nuclear weapons tests im mediately and for all time. The west, which wants a year-to-year ban on testing geared to a foolproof detec tion system and progress in the overall field of disarma- ELECT Wm. (Bill) DOERHBACH COUNCILMAN WARD 1 ment, held there were several stumbling blocks in the Rus sian proposal. Sources said the Soviets did not link the ban with general disarmament. They did not mention "cut-off St the man ufacture of fissionable ma terial which the West insists is a basic part of any agree ment. And they apparently did not refer to the possibility of nuclear test explosions for peaceful purposes. The Western delegates were reported agreed that while they must reject the Soviet plan they must also come up with a Western proposal on Monday to replace the Soviet program. It was understood that Wadsworth and Orsmby-Gore would meet today- in private and again on Monday morn ing before the session with Tsarapkin. The Soviet proposal, sources said, was a two-part document consisting of a treaty banning test explosions for evermore and a plan for a system of in spection and control along lines proposed by an East- West meeting of nuclear scien tists in Geneva last summer.

Khrushchev to save him from exile, the official Tass news agency reported yesterday. Tass said the noted poet and novelist was free to leave the Soviet Union forever if he wanted. (Officials in Washington said the United States prob ably would offer Pasternak asylum if he were expelled by the Soviet-authorities and expressed a desire to live in America.) Pasternak, 67, has been un der heavy fire since he "was awarded the Nobel prize for literature by the Swedish academy in Stockholm. The award, which was believed here to be based on his novel "Dr. Zhivago," was denounced as a "political" maneuver de signed to embarrass the So viet authorities. The book, which criticizes some aspects of life under Communism, is banned in the Soviet Union. Pasternak has been expelled from the So viet writers union and de nounced as a "traitor."

Havana-l!PD-The Fidel Cas tro rebels yesterday accused the government of seizing "hundreds" of hostages and threatening to "assassinate" them in the event of rebel violence in Havana during Monday's presidential elec tion. Rebel sources said the reb els had appealed to the Inter national Red Cross, the Unit ed Nations and the Organ ization of American States to use their good offices to as sure the safety of the hostages.

Tass said Pasternak sent a letter to Khrushchev Friday, admitting "mistakes and er rors" in his writings and mak ing clear he hadno desire to leave the Soviet Union. He noted also that he had reject ed the award which he orig inally accepted. "Whatever my mistakes and errors may have been, I could not imagine that I would find myself in the midst of such a political campaign which has been fanned under my name in the west," Pasternak wrote. "To go beyond the frontiers of my motherland is equal to death and therefore I beg you not to take this extreme meas ure towards me." Tass circulated the Paster nak letter with an accom panying statement which said he was free to leave the So viet Union to accept the prize in Stockholm or to stay away forever. ' Tass said that "no obstacles will be placed by Soviet state authorities if Pasternak ex presses his wish to abroad to Benson Supports Right To Work Ballot Measures Fresno - (UPD - Agriculture Secretary Ezra T.

"It is, my firm conviction that a person should get and keep a job on the basis of his ability and performance," de clared Benson. "This is fair. It is the American way. "As one who has associated closely, all my life with farm ers and people in rural areas, I think farm people over whelmingly would vote in fa vor of right to work."

His current home state of Utah already has en acted a right to work measure. receive the prize awarded to him. "The reports spread by the Bourgeois press to the effect that Pasternak was allegedly refused the right to go abroad are a crude fabrication," it said. The agency said no re quest' had been received from Pasternak to travel abroad. Tass said there "will be no objections against granting him such an exit .visa" and added: "If Pasternak wants to leave the Soviet union alto gether, the Social Order and people which he slanders in his anti-Soviet composition Dr. Zhivago, the official au thorities will not hinder him in that respect in any way. "He will be given the chance of departing beyond the fron tiers of the U.S.S.R. and expe riencing personally all the 'de lights of the capitalist para dise.' " The Tass dispatch was the first ndication to Russian's at home that Pasternak had, re jected the award and the $41, 250 prize which goes with it. (The rejection was cabled by Pasternak to the Nobel Foun dation eariy last week. It was also the first time that the Soviet government had become involved in the controversy.
