Accord in Nuclear
Test Ban Meeting
Seen This Week
Moscow (UPD U. S., British
and Russian negotiators open
ed the second week of nuclear
talks today amid indications
they would complete an ac
cord on a partial nuclear test
ban by the end of the week.
The meeting - seventh in
the three-power negotiations
that began a week ago - open
ed at 3 p.m. in Moscow's Spiri
donovka Palace.
Diplomats, encouraged by
Premier Nikita S. Khrush
chev's statement that "an
agreement is in sight," pre
dicted that an East - West
treaty banning underwater,
atmospheric and outer space
nuclear tests would be ini
tialed in a few days.
Other Problems
The U. S., British and So
viet negotiators were report
ed so far along on the test
ban issue that their talks have
turned to other cold war
problems, including measures
to guard against surprise at
tack. Khrushchev discussed this
Sunday in a meeting with
Under Secretary of State W.
Avcrell Harriman, the Amer
ican nuclear delegate. They
talked in a private room be
hind Khrushchev's Lenin sta
dium box, where Harriman
watched the U. S-Sovict track
meet Sunday.
It was understood they dis
cussed Khrushchev's offer for
an exchange of inspectors as
a means of safeguarding
against sudden troop move
ments or buildups. The in
spectors would be stationed
al key points on the territory
of opposing nations.
Harriman and British nego
tiator Lord Hailsham were ex
pected to discuss the subject
with Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko today.
No Obstacles
Khrushchev, who frequent
ly has denounced Western on
site inspection proposals as
attempts at espionage,
brought up his inspection plan
in a speech Friday. On Sat
urday, he said at a reception
following that day's negotiations:

MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY,
Hatfield Warns
On Possibility
Of Controversy
Fight on Welfare
Report Forecast
Miami Beach - IUPP - Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller and
other Republicans pushing
for a vote on the civil rights
issue were dealt a setback
today by the National Gov
ernors Conference which
abolished its resolution com
mittee. The Democratic - led move
had the effect of avoiding on-the-record
voting on the politically-intense
issue.
The showdown vole was
33-16 in favor of an amend
ment offered by Democratic
Gov. Grant Sawyer of Neva
da. The result was reached
on an almost party line basis.
Hatfield Warns
But Gov. Mark Hatfield,
Oregon Republican, who had
offered an alternative to
force voting on civil rights
with limited debate permis
sible, warned that the gover
nors still could get into con
troversy In voting on com
mittee reports.
Hatfield forecast a fight
over a committee report on
public welfare, in which he
and Gov. George Romncy of
Michigan plan to file minority
views.
Rockefeller and other Re
publicans fought to keep Hie
door open for a vote On the
issue but Sawyer came up
with the plan to abolish the
resolutions committee and
thus head off another fiasco
such as that last year when
Southern governors staged a
filibuster on the conference.
Anti-Filibuster Provision
Rockefeller and Hatfield
wanted a rule to permit adop
tion of resolutions on civil
rights and other issues with a
proposal containing an anli-
filibuster provision.
Sawyer proposed that the
entire resolutions process be
abolished to avoid another
Southern Democratic fili
buster. Bolh proposals were offered
as a substitute for an execu
tive committee proposal to
abandon the present two
thirds rule for resolutions and
to return to the rule in force
before 1956 to require a un
animous vole.
The unanimity rule would
permit a single governor to
veto any resolution.
Debate Virtually Assured
The showdown came this
morning at the 55th annual
conference's first business ses
sion. In any event, acoaie on
civil rights was virtually as
sured. Even with removal of
the resolutions process, plans
were made for a civil rights
panel discussion Tuesday.
The civil rights issue was
embroiled in presidential
politics, with the names of
Rockefeller and Sen. Barry
Goldwatcr of Arizona, poten
tial GOP rivals, dominating
talk at the conference.
Rockefeller, demanding
that governors show their re
sponsibility by going on rec
ord on Issues, said in an open
ing statement that the real
threat to the governors' con
ference "lies in reducing these
meetings to impotence and
unimportance."

Administration To
Request Increase
Of National Debt
Washinglon-UlPIl - The Ken-1
ncdy administration soon will
ask Congress to boost the leg
al limit on the national debt
to a new record high.
Informants said the admin
istration would -Insist that tliei
debt limit must be set at, or I
slightly less thnn, $315 bil-J
lion to accommodate the red-J
ink spending in prospect for
the fiscal year ending next
June 30.
Treasury Secretary Douglas
Dillion told Congress in Feb
ruary the administration
might need a debt ceiling of
about $320 billion. However,
lax revenues have Improved
since then as a result of a
pick up in business condi
tions. To Intorrupt Work'
The House Ways and Means
Committee will interrupt
work on President Kennedy's
lax-reduction and - revision
program to consider the debt
limit request at public hear
ings starting next Monday.
A new debt ceiling must
be established next month.
The debt limit now is $309
billion. It is scheduled to drop
to $285 billion on Sept. 1.
Everyone agrees this cannot
be permitted, since the actual
debt will be considerably
higher than that.
The debt now stands at
about $3U6 billion and is head
ing higher. The debt is cer
tain to rise in the months
ahead as the Treasury bor
rows money to pay the gov
ernment's bills in this period
of red-ink spending.

Conference at Miami Beach,
The debt limit Is almost
certain to provide another
partisan struggle on the House
floor. Earlier this year, ad
ministration forces managed
by a scant nine-vote margin
to win passage over GOP op
position of the temporary
fjuu billion limit.
In an attempt to lessen op
position, Democratic slrale-
i gists plan to schedule the new
debt limit bill for House floor
action ahead of the tax cut
bill. The argument will be
made that should lhe House
refuse to set the debt limit
high enough lo accommodate
a tax cut, there will be no tax
reduction.

Congress To Be
Asked To Refer
Issue to Agency
Legislation Would
Expand Authority
Washington - d'PD - Th
While House said today Presi
dent Kennedy would ask Con
gress to refer the railroad
rules dispute to the Intcrstata
Commerce Commission for
"prompt hearing and disposi
Hon."
Legislation to be submitted
to Congress at noon PDT
would bar any nationwide
rail strike while the ICC con
sidered the four-year-old
work rules dispute.
The White House announce
ment said that provisions for
job security would be con
tained in any ICC order in
the case.
Senate Democratic Leader
Mike Mansfield (Mont.) said
the legislation would be a
"single shot proposal" to giva
the ICC broadly expanded au
thority to settle the current
dispute.
"It is not compulsory arbi
tration" and is by no mean
"seizure" of the railroads,
Mansfield told newsmen at
the Capitol following a con
ference between Kennedy and
congressional leaders of both
parties.
Outlines Proposed Plan
The White House announce
ment of the President's legis
lation proposal said:
'TTie President at 3 p.m.
this afternoon will send to tha
Congress legislation which
will refer those railroad work
rules issues which are still in
dispute to the Interstate Com
merce Commission for prompt
hearing and disposition.
Provisions for employee
security would be contained
in any Interstate Commerce
Commission order of approv
al. "Unlike complsory arbitra
tion, this proposal would preserve-
collective bargaining;
and give precedence to Its so
lutions." '
I The President previewed
the plan with Democratic and
Republican congress tonal
leaders before sending it to
Capitol Hill. He also briefed
management and labor
spokesmen In separate meet
ings on his proposals.
The provision or hearing"
by the ICC and the reference
to precedence for bargaining1
solutions Indicated the admin
istration would use the time
required for hearings to press
for a voluntary agreement in
he long dispute over what
the railroads call unneces
sary jobs - "fcathcrbedding."
Sen. John O. Pastore (R-
R.I.) told reporters he gut tho
impression there would have
lo be a moratorium, possibly
two years, on the work rules
dispute while the ICC con
ducted hearings.
The railroads would file
with the commission applica
tions on each proposed rules
change, he explained, then
the regulatory agency would
conduct hearings and make a
final determination. It could
still go back lo collective
bargaining after that, he said.
Mansfield told reporters tha
ICC was selected by the Presi
dent as the basis for the legis
lation because it would be
"completely within its juris
diction" to deal with railroad
matters. But the law would
be aimed at "a specific poten
tial crisis," he emphasized.
