Russia Proposition Last Of Concessions by Administration Geneva-UPD The United States today asked the Soviet Union to join in the .launch ine of a space patrol of a doz en satellites to prevent secret nuclear testing high above the earth or behind the moon. Chief American Delegate Arthur H. Dean outlined the proposition as the last of the concessions President Ken. ncdy's administration has of fered as evidence of Its de sire to sign a nuclear weap ons test, ban . treaty with Moscow. The United States, support ed by Britain, outlined Its outer space bid at the 280th meeting of the three-power Nuclear Test Ban Conference To Take Easter Recess . After a further meeting Thursday, at which the Unit ed States and Britain plan to summarize their newest con cessions, the conferees take a four-day Easter recess. The Western powers hope that when they return to the con ference table next week, the Soviets finally will have some comment to make. The Russians have been silent throughout the nine days since the Western concessions first were described. ..- Dean today noted the So viets had accepted most of the recommendations made in 1959 by a Soviet-American-British expert working group for policing a ban on high altitude and space nuclear tests. Exotic Instruments Proposed He said the United States now proposed that the Soviet Union join it In signing a workable nuclear test ban treaty and establishing the pace control system. The system recommended in 1959 involved adding cer tain exotic instruments to the 180 control stations already planned on the surface of the earth, to control other types of nuclear testing, and the or biting of satellites to assist in monitoring. These would Include' per haps 10 satellites In a "near earth system" so called be cause they would orbit only at altitudes W .200 to BOO miles; five or six satellites in a "far earth" system about 37,000 miles above the earth and four solar satellites tra veling in the earth'j orbit around the sun. These space patrolling sa tellites would be equipped with apparatus which would detect unusual amounts of gamma and X-rays following a nuclear explosion In space.

It warned a House committee Tuesday such a plan would "create chaos ... . little islands all over our state.'' Henry Henrickson of the State Grange told the Plan ning and Development com mute it could mean a wife would be sending her children to school on one time and her husband to work on an other. Spokesmen for shipping and for business ' dealing outside the state urged daylight time. They said it would place them In a more competitive and less confusing position with neighboring states that make the change every summer. Business Hours Differ Rudy Langer, Western Lum ber Marketing Association, said daylight time not only would smooth out West Coast transactions but would give a crucial extra hour for com municating with the East Coast. When Oregon is on stand ard time and the East Coast is on daylight time, the office day counting lunch periods, overlaps only for three hours. The testimony had the fa miliar ring of the controversy that has surrounded the de feat of every ballot proposal for daylight time in Oregon. Albert Forman of the The ater Oweners Association said it was an affront to the voters for the legislature to bring up the proposal again after the voters had "slapped it down" four times. ' y Forman added daylight time would deal a critical blow to the drive-In movie business.

Dirksen told a reporter he would seek to trim the com promise administration bill in committee. If that failed, he said, he would "make a fight on the Senate floor." Problems To Be Solved Chairman Pat McNamara (D-Mich.) of the Senate labor subcommittee introduced the compromise Tuesday. He said it was "apparent that some problems had to be solved be fore a strong wage bill could be enacted." . The measure calls for cover age of about 4 million new workers, compared to 4.3 mil lion in the original adminis tration bill. It would retain the gradual increase in the wage floor to $1.25 an hour for both new workers and the estimated 23.9. million now covered by the Wage -Hour act.
