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.

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

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.

M. 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.
McNamara told the Senate
it was drafted "in consulta
tion with the administration
and has its approval."
Waits Easter Recess
Action on the bill was put
off until after the brief con
gressional Easter recess. Sen
ate Democratic Leader Mike
Mansfield told reporters he
hoped the bill would be out
of committee by April 11 and
the Senate could act by April
14.
House conservatives dealt
Kennedy a sharp setback last
Friday by killing off a similar
compromise bill by a one-vote
margin. It then passed a bill
limiting coverage to about 1.4
million new workers and hold
ing the wage increase to $1.15
an hour. v
