(UPI Telephoto) Nuclear Test Talks Could Be Near Great Showdown ' Geneva - IUP1) - The dead locked nuclear test ban talks - recessed early in December (Dec. 5) until Feb. 7 -may come to a final showdown in 1961. U.S. delegate Charles C. Steele, Britain's Sir Michael Wright, and Russia's Semyon K. Tsarapkin negotiated the two-month vacation to carry over until the new U.S. ad ministration has taken over. It was an expected move. After the American election verdict the talks, failed to move forward toward banning nuclear tests for weapons de velopment," although the par ties previously reached broad agreement on the crucial globe - girdling control sys tem to police a ban. President-elect John F. Kennedy has pledged the new administration to one last "great effort" to conclude a treaty, despite claims in some U.S. quarters that the tacit ban which now exists on nu clear testing during the talks may actually be permitting the Soviets to test secretly. Those who argue that way are for dropping the talks and resuming testing. Fear Menace Russian experts here believe the Soviets would like a treaty ban because they fear China may develop nuclear weapons and menace world peace and the Soviet Union. Insiders doubt that the recent Communist summit has heal ed the ideological rift between Red China and Russia, despite their statements to the con trary. Crucial decisions will be made in Washington and Mos cow during the current recess when East and West review their aims and their offerings which may at last produce a treaty - or bring the whole effort crashing down. "The Russians have not been negotiating at the talks recently for one of two rea sons," one leading western negotiator told U.P.I. "Either they decided not to do business with the Eisen hower administration, or they felt they could offer no more concessions," the source said. "We will have to find out (during the recess) which is the true Soviet position. In any case the new administra tion will definitely not agree to a treaty without adequate control." Experts emphasized the Russians might well be afraid to see Red China develop its own nuclear weapons and use them to give added weight to its militant Communist ideol ogy. China apparently believes Communism would benefit from a nuclear conflict with the West. Russia has stressed the value of "peaceful co existence." During the marathon Gene va talks, Tsarapkin has con sistently tried to reduce the proposed number of control posts on Soviet territory - and increase those in China. Western sources said that in some 270 i down-to-earth-sessions the parties have agreed to two-thirds of a treaty acceptable to East and West, . consisting of a pre amble, 17 articles and two annexes. Cost Double These articles spell out the broad nature of 180 control posts which would employ three times as many persons as the United Nations, and cost twice as much to run each year. The system would use 10, 000 persons, compared to 3600 for the United Nations. It would cost $100 million an nually compared to $50 mil lion for the United Nations. The agreed articles define the legal framework within which the system would oper ate. But the main stumbling block is the limitation of scientific equipment which cannot identify accurately the difference between earth quakes and small underground tests. The disarmament negotia tors have agreed equipment should be perfected, and an unpoliced moratorium called on small underground tests concurrently. Cold War Tensions, Disarmament Eyed At Science Meeting Delos Atnllb By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York - IUPD - Scientists looked at cold war tensions and getting-nowhere disarm- " ament efforts Itoday and were both de pressed and distressed. Sir Charles Snow, British physicist and novelist, said that about a dozen nations, i n r l d 1 n 2 Pnmmnnist China, would have atomic bombs within six years and that within 10 years some of these bombs would have exploded through "accident, folly or madness." Snow, speaking at the 127th meeting of the American As sociation for the Advancement of Science, criticized the United States for seeking total guarantees on inspection be fore agreeing to nuclear bans. He said the world faces a much greater risk without any nuclear testing ban than with an imperfect ban. Agrees on Dangers Dr. Charles E. Osgood of the University of Illinois, who also spoke at the meeting, agreed on the dangers result ing from a lack of disarma ment. "All this frightens the liv ing daylights out of me,"' he said. To him, United States and Russia are like raccoons trying to get out of an experi mental laboratory cage. "A normally intelligent rac coon trying to get out from under a stinging shower will bang its head against a lock ed door that used to be open, completely ignoring free pas sageways to left and right," he said. "In analogous fashion, na tions today are lumbering down the one habitual path to 'security'-bigger and bet ter weapons-gathering as they go tensions which make it less and less possible to con ceive of any other alterna tives. Being the habitual re sponse to external threat, this course is felt to be realistic' " Dr. Jerome D. Frank, pro fessor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University and another specialist in the sci ence of human nature, agreed with Osgood that Americans, Russians and citizens of lesser nations are in a kind of rat race which can lead to their mutual destruction. He chose to use more austere language, however. But they cannot decide on the length of the moratorium because the West wants a maximum 27 months, and Russia wants four to five years. Pressure Mounting - The negotiators also have not agreed to a coordinated research plan, and pressure is building up in the United States to resume testing for the unilateral U.S. "Project Vela." The Russians fear the tests are to be used to develop weapons. The U.S. says the tests are to perfect instru ments. But the U.S. has not been able to offer "safe guards" adequate to the Rus sians. Other outstanding bedrock issues which must be solved before the West agrees to a treaty: The annual number of on-the-spot inspections to check on suspicious disturb ances, the exact composition of the control commission, and just how to install the control system in six years. Travel Group Protests Plan Salem-OIPD-The Travel Ad visory Committee to the Ore gon Travel Information Di vision has protested Gov Mark Hatfield's recommenda tion that the division be trans ferred from the Highway Commission to a new depart ment of commerce. Chairman Frank Jenkins of Klamath Falls said hiffhwav development, use and promo tion "belong logically togeth er." Jenkins cited success of the division's work under the Highway Department and ad vised against its transfer. Hatfield's recommendation is part of his plan for govern ment reorganization. Other functions of the commerce de partment would include plan nine and develoDment. hank. ing, insurance, real estate, the corporation department plus a number of professional state licensing boards. LARGE PRECINCT Tucson Pima county In Arizona has one voting pre cinct) that is larger than all of the state of Rhode Island Kennedy To Offer Press Conferences To Radio and TV Palm Beach, Fla.-(UPD-Pres-dent-elect John F. Kennedy has decided to use the tradi tional White House press con ference much as the late Pres ident Franklin D. Roosevelt used the "fireside chat." Kennedy will communicate directly to large evening au diences via "live" television and radio. Press Secretary Pierre Sal inger told reporters that quite likely with the first news con ference after his inauguration, Kennedy will conduct some of his question-and-answer sessions with reporters before open microphones and live TV cameras for instantaneous transmission to the rest of the nation. The White House under Kennedy will suggest at un determined intervals that specific news conferences be carried on live television, Sal inger added that all of Ken nedy's meetings with the press would be available for in stantaneous network use i the broadcasters made prior requests for permission. Sal inger did not anticipate, how ever, that the networks would want to carry all of the Ken nedy conferences "live." The press secretary met here this week with repre sentatives of the four major networks. Although the de tails remained to be worked out, Salinger said he found the networks "very receptive to this idea." "They asked me if we would object to their televising other press conferences beside those we put on in the early even ing hours," Salinger said. "I told them we would be recep tive to their televising any press conference, whether they were in the early even ings hours or not." Asked if this meant the net works would decide whether to televise a conference, Sal inger said this was not en tirely accurate. "There will occasionally be White House press conferences that we will schedule in the early evening hours and make available for live television if the networks desire to tele vise them or broadcast them," Salinger said. "The other press conference will be avail able for television or broad cast if a prior request is made to us that the network wishes to broadcast or televise that press conference." Device Helps Those Partially Blind Winston-Salem, N.C., (Sci ence Service) - An indirect benefit from space research is a device by which the par tially or near blind may in crease their vision by up to 300 per cent. Dr. William Feinbloom of New York applied the prin ciple of alternating pano ramic fixation used in the satellite camera and lens sys tem to a multi-directional "space lens." Three tiny, tele scopic lenses in each spectacle give a total directional field of 100 degrees. STACEY, WATKINS & CO.
