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-

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.

Rep. Ullman,
Weatherford
Speak At Forum
La Grande-flJD-Rep. Al Ull
man, Democratic incumbent
in the 2nd Oregon Congres
sional district, and Marion
Weatherford, his GOP oppo
nent, traded political views
a forum Friday night at
Central grade school here that
included three Eastern Ore
gon college educators.
Ullman told a crowd of
about 70 persons that he
thought federal aid would
help education "without open

ed cities, and not to the 2nd
Congressional District."
Weatherford, when asked
by Dr. Carlos Easily of EOC
about his stand on the For
mosa issue, said that the Unit

down one inch" in Asia. Ull
man urged withdrawal from

drawing of a defense line at
Formosa proper.
The two other members of
the EOC faculty who partici
pated in the forum were Dr.
Douglas Speer, professor of
political science, and Bill Mer
rill, Dr. Easily's assistant. Dr.
Easily was moderator.
Soviet News Agency Reports
Pasternak Admits His 'Errors'
Moscow (LTD Boris Past
ernak, Nobel prize-winner, ad
mitted his "errors" and plead
ed with Premier Nikita S.
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." There

Crow's Index
Shows Decrease
Portland (DPI) Crow's
Lumber Price Index moved
down a notch last week due
to price weakness and slack
demand during the past two
weeks but the service report
ed that an improved trend was
indicated with mill prices on
Standard and better green
Douglas fir dimension moving
up slightly.
The Index said the major
reason for the drop was the
price decline in kiln-dried Fir
dimension. Plywood sheathing
was also continuing on the
weak side with sanded stock
clinging to its $80 price for
quarter inch AD grade, the
Index said."
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.
In the midst of a flareup
of fighting in Oriente and
Camaguey provinces, police
were reported to have assign
ed 1,000 prowl cars to the
greater Havana area to head
off any rebel attacks and
sabotage.
The bloody battle that rag
ed Friday between govern
ment forces and Castro reb
els on the outskirts of San
tiago De Cuba, the country's
second largest city, slackened
off yesterday after 33 men
were reported killed and a
number of others wounded.
Army troops dug into heavily-fortified
positions. Sources
in Santiago, capital of rebelli
ous Oriente province, said the
rebels were deploying in the
hills surrounding the city for
another attack.
Fighting was reported in
Bayamo in southwestern Ori
ente and at Holguin in the
northeast. Holguin lost radio
contact with Havana. Both
are major cities linked by a
central highway.
. A rebel radio broadcast said
a Castro lieutenant was killed
in a 90-minute clash in the
Jiguana-Bayamo area.
Heavily Jammed
Castro forces in Oriente
province and Camaguey prov
ince near Francisco were wait
ing for reinforcements, the
rebel radio said in a broad
cast that was heavily jammed
by government stations.
In Santiago, a tenss quiet
prevailed. Havana, 600 miles
to the west, also was quiet.
The Supreme Electoral Tri
bunal rejected a petition by
opposition presidential candi
date Carlos Marquez Sterling
that Monday's election be
"suspended" in 10 cities in
Oriente province and 5 oth
ers in Las Villas province be
cause of "disorders."
The government of Presi
dent Fulgencio Batista ex
pected a large turnout of some
three million eligible voters
Batista himself is not a can
didate for reelection. The
four parties which supported
him handpicked as their can
didate, scholarly Andres Ri-
vero Aguero,. 53, who has
pledged to continue Batista's
policies.
Most observers predicted an
easy victory, for the govern
ment-backed candidate.

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

death and therefore I beg you
not to take this extreme meas

Benson Supports
Right To Work
Ballot Measures
Fresno - (UPD - Agriculture
Secretary Ezra T. Benson has
issued personal support for
right to work measures and
predicted farmers will favor
the proposals in Tuesday's
general election.
Benson announced his stand
late Friday in press confer
ences here and in San Fran
cisco after an address at Fres
no Memorial Auditorium.
"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."
Right to work measures are
on the ballot in six states, in
cluding California and Idaho
where Benson was a resident
at one time. 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.

Smoking on Buses
Denied by Morgan
Salem -(UPD Public Utility
Commissioner Howard Mor
gan said Friday he has denied
a proposal to allow smoking
on the three rear seats of
buses in Oregon.
Morgan said that since a
public hearing on the matter
and publication of the peti
tion for a change in the pres
ent rule "an overwhelming
response was received from
the public in opposition to
any relaxation of the rule."
The PUC chief added that
the only voices in favor of
the change were those of com
pany representatives and their
employees. "Not a single
member of the traveling pub
lic testified in behalf cf re
laxing the rule."
Thus the present rule of no
smoking on regularly sched
uled inter-city buses will continue.
