Test Ban Group
Conducts Protest
March in Moscow
Mnscow-JUPIi-A handful of
Western ban-the-bomb advo
cates staged a "silent vigil"
protest against big power nu
clear policies in Red Square
today, but had their banners
yanked away from them by
several Soviet women who
opposed their demonstration.
The disarmament demon
strators called off plans to
picket the American Embassy
in the face of Soviet opposi
tion. Instead, they marched
into Red Square with three
banners unfurled to protest
nuclear tests by both East
and West. Originally, 40
planned to demonstrate but
only 20 showed up.
Followed by Women
The demonstrators were
followed by a group of Soviet
women who took the banners
away, rolled them up and
stalked off.
'They are undecorous,"
muttered one Soviet woman
as she walked away.
The demonstrators, here for
t h e Communist - sponsored
World Congress for General
Disarmament and Peace, si
lently watched the loss of
their banners which bore such
slogans as "We demand no
more Russian tests" and "We
condemn Anglo-American
tests."
The demonstration had been
called despite Soviet warn
ings that it would be illegal
and that demonstrators could
be deported. But many who
had originally planned to go
to Red Square to participate
dropped off as the extent of
Soviet opposition became ap
parent. ITIMS FROM

The group, because three

Russia Fails To
Oder Anything
New on Berlin
Tempers Show
Signs of Rising
Washington - IUPII - Diplo
matic tempers in Moscow and
Washington showed signs of
rising today because the Unit
ed States and Russia have
failed again in an effort to
narrow their differences over
Berlin.
Secretary of State Dean
Rusk, in a one hour and 40
minute meeting with Soviet
Ambassador Anatoly F. Dob
rynin Thursday, failed to find
any change at all in unaccept
able Russian demands that the
Western Allies pull out of
Berlin.
The secretary now looked
forward to a meeting in Ge
neva soon, perhaps next week,
with Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko for indica
tions as to whether the Rus
sians intend to whip the Ger
man crisis to new proportions.
Rusk told a new confer
ence just before his futile talk
with Dobrynin that there was
"no basis for serious negotia
tions" if the Russians contin
ued to insist on talking only
about ending the Allied oc
cupation of West Berlin.
He was reacting to new
Moscow charges that he had
not given serious considera
tion to Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev's new proposal to
replace British, French and
American troops in Berlin
with contingents from small
countries on both sides of the
Iron Curtain.
The Soviet official news
agency Tass, in a long state
ment describing Berlin as a
"powder keg" which could
blow up Europe at any mo
ment, strongly criticized U.S.
reaction to Khruschev's new
plan.
Rusk said the proposal
made by the Soviet leader last
Tuesday was not worth talk
ing about.

Mistake Seen in
Constitution Vote
Salcm-IUPII-State Sen. Tho
mas R. Mahoncy (D-Portland)
today told Oregon's Constitu
tional RevLsion commission it
would be a mistake for the
commission to recommend a
sweeping overhaul of the
state Constitution to the 1903
legislature.
Mahoncy, himself a com
missioner, asserted his view
in a telegram to the other 16
commissioners. He was not
present at today's commis
sion meeting here and the
telegram came from San
Diego, Calif.
Up until now, Mahoncy had
sided with a majority of com
missioners who favored a
thorough overhaul of the con
stitution. At last summer's organiza
tional meeting, the commis
sion voted to recommend a
highly revised document in
stead of piecemeal changes.
The commission today be
gan a review of the new con
stitution they previously ap
proved, going over all of the
new language again.

Tass Statement
Says West Makes
Steps Necessary
Disarmament
Talks Scheduled
Moscow-UPH-The Soviet Un
ion served official notice to
day that it feels free to con
duct another series of nuclear
tests.
The warning came In an
official Tass statement given
out by the Foreign Ministry.
The statement recalled what
it said were "hundreds of ex
perimental blasts" in the
West, and claimed each one
serves to perfect existing
weapons and create new ones.
"Under these conditions not
only morals and right, but
also the Interests of general
peace and security require
that the Soviet Union should
be the last to conduct nuclear
tests," the statement said.
The statement came on the
eve of the East-West disarma
ment talks scheduled to re
sume Monday in Geneva. And
it followed a similarly firm
line reaffirmation of Soviet
policy on Germany and Ber
lin in a Tass statement releas
ed Thursday.
Absurd Demands
The statement today charg
ed that the U.S. government
nan Deen iorcea 10 enier nego
tiations on a nuclear test ban
and had done everything to
foil them by placing "absurd
demands" on the Soviet Un
ion.
The statement charged that
the U.S. State Department
was trying "to present things
in such a light as if it were
the Soviet Union and not the
United States of America who
had triggered off the nuclear
testing race and its buildup."
The statement repeated the
old charges that the United
States had started the nrms
race "and used them against
the peaceful population of the
Japanese cities of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki."

Hatfield Angered
By Refusal To
Negotiate Strike
Governor Charges
Defiance of Interest
Salem-IUPD-Gov. Mark Hat
field, angered by refusal of
the iron workers union to
negotiate in his office with
contractors and a federal me
diator, charged union officers
today with "open defiance of
the public interest" and a
"play for power."
In Portland, the six mem
bers of the union negotiating
team issued a statement say
ing they were at the contrac
tors' headquarters ready to
negotiate without the gover
nor. Juel Drake of St. Louis,
vice president of the interna
tional union, also was present.
He said the team would re
main at the Portland head
quarters until the contractors
"show up or tell us they don't
want to meet."
Open Defiance
Union representatives fail
ed to show up here at 9 a.m.,
the time set by the governor,
although a negotiating team
from the Associated General
Contractors and federal medi
ator George Walker, Portland,
appeared.
Hatfield set another dead
line of 1 p.m., but the union
announced it didn't plan to
meet then either.
Hafticld issued a statement
late this morning that said
"the failure of the iron
workers negotiating team to
show up here this morning is
open defiance of the public
Interest and lends substance to
charges that some individuals
in the leadership of that union
are more interested in a play
for power than in Improve
ment of working conditions
for the membership."
Hatfield indicated that John
O'Halloran, business repre
sentative of " Iron Workers
Local No. 29. Portland, had
gone back on his word by re
fusing to show up. Hatfield
referred to a July 7 telegram,
from O'Halloran indicating a
willingness to meet here.
"It is now apparent that
'more than the improvement
of working conditions, there
is a play for power not just
of ruling one local in Oregon,
but of over the entire two
states" of Oregon and Wash
ington. At Bargaining Table
Drake replied to the Hat
field statement by remarking.
'This will not be settled in
the newspapers and on tele
vision, but at the bargaining
table."
Referring to earlier ar
rangements for a negotiating
session In Portland today
without tlie governor, the
council said the change in
plans was first called to the
attention of the union late
Thursday.
"We will remain here where
the meeting was scheduled,"
O'Halloran said. "We await
the contractors return to this
meeting room."
Drake added O'Halloran
was "only one member of the
committee that made the de
cision." Change To Benefit
