Russia Announces1
Resumption ol j
Atmospheric Tests
United States
Blamed for Move
Moscow - WPP - The Soviet
Union has announced it is
resuming its nuclear tests in
the atmosphere. It said the
blame rested on the United
States "and it alone."
The Tass News Agency an
nouncement did not set a
date for the tests to begin.
The Soviet announcement
came amidst disarmament
and nuclear test ban nego
tiations at Geneva. It hinted
of a possible agreement to
end testing following this
new series of explosions.
Right To Be Last
"Since the United States
was the first to begin nu
clear weapons tests and ha
hold many more of them with
its allies than did the Soviet
Union, the other side, the So
viet Union, which has invari
ably held its nuclear tests
only in reply, has the right
tn be the last to hold nuclear
tests in the world," it said.
The statement said the U.S.
government knew that "if
American nuclear bombs
would begin to explode, the
Soviet Union would be faced
with the need to hold tests
of its nuclear weapons."
"Consequently, the gov
ernment of the U.S. was fully
aware of what it was doing.'
it added. "On it and it alone
depended whether the tests
to which the Soviet Union
had had to resort in the fall
nf 1961 would be the last, or
whether a new wave of nu
clear tests would sweep our
planet."
It said the United Stales
is holding its current series
nf tests to achieve military
supremacy over the.Russians.
"The Soviet Union will not
give this satisfaction to those
who harbor aggressive de
signs against our country, who
threaten us and our allies
with preventive war," it said.

Hyannis Port, Mass. - TO -President
Kennedy made a
personal plea Saturday for a
60-day delay in a threatened
strike that would halt most

ed immediately heeded the re
quest. Kennedy, who also named
a three-man board to investi
gate the stalemated dispute,
said, "In this important de
fense industry all parties have
a responsibility to cooperate
in achievinga settlement
without any interruption of
work."
The International Associa
tion of Machinists announced
in Washington that it would
bnw to Kennedy's request.
The United Automobile
Workers also are involved in
the dispute which affects 150,

Morse Outlines
Plan To Bolster
Lumber Industry
Portland - (UIH - Sen. Wayne
Morse (D-Ore.) has outlined a
plan to bolster the Northwest
lumber industry that includes
tightening the reins on the
Forest Service.
The Oregon Democrat said
he would take the problems
to President Kennedy Mon
day Morse spoke before lumber
industry executives at a meet
ing arranged by the steering
committee of the Lumber
men's Economic Survival
Committee.
In Foreign Policy Fields
Morse said solution of the
stale's lumber problems lies
in the fields of foreign policy,
better liaison with, and more
checks on, the forest service
and some changes in the Jones
shipping art.
In the matter of foreign pol
icy, Morse said that whereas
the economic health of Cana
da is important to this coun
try, he did not like to see the
giving of a big loan to Canada
followed by imposition by
Canada of import duties on
American products.
Morse suggested policy and
procedural modifications in
the forest service. There
should be someone at secre
tary level with whom Con
gress and tthe industry rould
deal, he said, because Con
gress never delegated policy
making power to those be
neath secretary level.
Denies Request
He added that the forest
.service "will hear from me
Monday'1 regarding a letter
sent to the industry seeking
detailed information on opera
tions which the service said
Morse had requested al a re.
cent hearing. Morse denied he
asked for the information.
He said the bill to remove
Ihe present 6 per cent differ
ential enjoyed by West Const
shipbuilders is in committee
and he expects it to stay there.

Confirmation of
Military Choices
Appears Certain
Taylor Chosen
Chief of Staff
Washington 'ITP The re
shuffled members of President
Kennedy's new military team
appeared headed today toward
certain Senate confirmation
but possibly extensive ques
tioning about some of their
views.
No serious Senate objec
tions were sounded to the
President's choices. He named
Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor to
be chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Lyman
L. Lemnitzer to be Supreme
U S. Commander in Europe,
and Gen. Earle G. Wheeler to
become the Army's chief.
Chairman Richnrd R. Rus
sell (D-Ga.) of the Senate
Armed Services committee,
praised the nominees highly.
This indicated that approval
of the three by his group
should stir up liltle contro
versy. Other Changes Seen
But military observers saw
the Pentagon shakeup as
raising the possibility of
broad changes in organization,
command and traditional war
roles of the services.
This particularly applied to
Taylor, an outspoken and of
ten controversial Army offi
cer selected for chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of staff. He
is on record with a firm pro
posal to abolish the Joint
Chiefs system and replace it
with a single "Defense Chief
of Staff with great authority.
Taylor is certain to he ques
tioned about this proposal in
his appearances before Con
gressional committees.
Kennedy himself has pre
dicted that the mid-1960s may
see the Army. Navy and Air
Force being merged into a
single service "dominated by
a single command." That
prophesy, in his 1960 hook,
"The Strategy of Peace," may
have new significance. He
now has a slate of military
leaders who are, with the ex
ception of 1 he Marine Com
mandant, nf his own choos
ing. Break with Eisenhower
Taylor previously served a
stormy four years as Army
Chief and stepped out of mili
tary life in an angry break
with the Eisenhower admin
istration. When he rclired in 1959.
Taylor wrote a book, "The
Uncertain Trumpet," assail
ing the policies, strategy and
organization of defense un
der President Eisenhower and
other policy makers with
whom he disagreed. When
Kennedy took office, he tap
ped Taylor to serve as his
special military adviser.
The general has been cred
ited with a key role in expan
sion of the Army under Ken
nedy, an expansion (hat De
fense Secretary Robert S.
McNamara originally opposed.

with Rusk. The West already
had let it be known it had

hardly encouraging.
Rusk called on Gromyko at
the Soviets' Villa Rose on Ge-

Settlement of
Six-Week-Old
Strike Reached
Wage Increase
Totals 71 Cents
Washington- IUPD - Labor
Secretary Arthur J. Gold
berg Saturday announced set
tlement of a six-week-old
strike of Iron workers that
had tied up virtually all con
struction work in the Pacific
Northwest.
The strike concerned con
struction activities in both
Oregon and Washington.
Goldberg said that under
terms of the settlement, all
local unions involved and the
contractors have agreed to re
sume work and operations im
mediately Old Contract Renewed
The old contract was re
newed with but a few chang
es. Travel and transportation
allowances were virtually un
changed. The iron workers won a to
tal of 71 cents to be spread
over the next three years, in
cluding 26 cents per hour in
wages the first year until July
21, 1963.
The second year includes
19 cents per hour in wages.
5 cents per hour In the pen
sion fund and 1 cent per hour
for apprenticeship training.
The third year includes
wages of 15 cents per hour
and cents per hour in the
pension fund. The first year
wage Increase is retroactive to
May 28, 1962, when the iron
workers struck.
Carl M. Hilvoritn, a
spokesman for the Associated
General Contractors, said in
Portland that "the wage rec
ommendation of the govern
ment Is, In our opinion, infla
tionary and substantially
above current wage patterns
negotiated by the construction
industry in the Pacific
Northwest. We accept the rec
ommendation with reluc
tance." Announced by Morse
Announcement of the settle
ment was made on behalf of
Goldberg and William E. Sim-
kin, federal mediation direc
tor.
Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore ),
announced the settlement in
Portland. He said the decision
of the board would be final
and binding.
Morse said he expected the
iron workers would return to
their jobs on Monday.
Morse commended efforts
of state officials which he
said paved the way for the
settlement reached In Wash
