1 MAIL TRIBUNE. Mtdford, Onto, Unity, Pf matt 7, If 3t dJ.S BrntaSn. Russia Agree GDii (First (Ban Treaty Article Geneva - (TPD - The United States, Britain and Russia yesterday agreed on the first rticle of a treaty prohibiting nuclear weapons test explos ions. It was the first major result of five weeks of East West negotiations. The agreement came after a 90-minute special week-end session of the three - power noclear conference. An official communique an nounced that the conference "accepted the text of a draft Article I of a treaty relating to the prohibition of nuclear weapons test explosions." The comminque further an nounced that the conference discussed "the consideration." Treaties Meshed This was taken to imply that East and West experts have meshed their treaty drafts into one provisional draft treaty text. The text of the first article agreed on was not disclosed but was understood to set forth a pledge to discontinue nuclear test explosions after the entire treaty had been agreed upon and signed. Both sides welcomed this first sign of tangible results after protracted negotiations. Conference sources said the first article was the one pro posed by the West, with only minor amendments. Clear Understanding The move followed a clear East-West understanding that any test ban would be firmly linked to the obligation of the three nuclear powers to "co operate" in the projected in ternational control organiza tion which will police the agreement against possible violations. Such a firm and definitive provision will be incorporat ed in the treaty as a special treaty article and it already is under discussion. The nuclear conference will resume tomorrow. Meanwhile, the 10 -.nation surprise-attack conference ap peared to be on the verge of "indefinite adjournment" af ter four weeks of fruitless negotiations. Ml.

Butler a ringing vote of confidence yesterday with an explicit en dorsement of his no-compro mise stand on civil rights. The action came after the committee refused by a 91 to 15 vote to unseat Camille Gravel as Louisiana national committeeman in a dispute which also carried overtones of the party split over the racial issue. Approving A resolution approving But ler's regime as chairman was adopted, 84 to 18, with all the dissenting votes cast by southerners. It contained a three-line sec tion applauding Butler's "forthright utterances on civil rights and the determination by the Democratic party that the provisions of the Consti tution of the United States as interpreted by the Supreme Court shall be enforced and made effective." Void Down Gravel asked the commit tee to delete the section, but was voted down, 79 to 27. ...and to all a good SAMSONITE amsonite smart looking . . . longer lasting . . . biggest value Samsonite SILHOUETTE newest, smartest htggage over designed ...

The group also suggested that a teen-ager should be giv en a driver's license at 18 in stead of the present 16 years under state law.
