Urge Selection Prices Start at Only '2299 Go First Class GO BUICKU SKIIIIIER Quick-Cadillac 772-6284 (D-N.M.), a former chairman of the joint committee, has, in the past, spoken favorably of such a limitation which would, In effect, put an annual ceil ing on radioactive fallout. Such a limitation could have certain advantages in treaty negotiations. Like the underwater and atmospheric ban, it avoids the troublesome problem of underground test ing and clandestine tests. No international policing authori ty or on-site activity would be required since radioactivity in the atmosphere can be measured minutely by any na tion. A limitation proposal would also meet the complaints of critics such as Sen. Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.). They have protested that Kennedy's test band proposals are "unrealist ic" because they require that the Russians abandon atmos pheric testing at a time when they know they are behind In some phases of nuclear weapons development. The limitation proposal is, however, not likely to satisfy many supporters of the ad ministration's proposals for a broad ban on nuclear tests since a limitation would pre sume continued refinement and development of nuclear arms by both sides - at least until both sides are ready to accept a complete ban on all testing.
