Rusk arrived here at the head of a blue-ribbon delega tion of Slate department and congressional leaders shortly before British Foreign Secre tary Lord Home arrived from London. What is needed after the test treaty is signed, Rusk said in a prepared airport statement, was more "step by step progress" in easing world tensions. Course Not Easy' He warned, however, "This course is not easy." "Nevertheless, the U.S. gov ernment and people are deter-, mined to follow this course and we come here with hope and resolve to make this a turning point in the affairs of mankind." Rusk's visit here, the first by an American secretary of state in 16 years, was expect ed to be hailed by the Soviets as a tangible indication that the West is willing to nego tiate to help end the cold war. This is the theme which Premier Nikila S. Khrushchev stressed when he called for following the ' conclusion of the test-ban negotiations last month. Rusk and Home are sched uled to talk with Foreign Min ister Andrei Gromyko after the signing ceremonies. At these exploratory dis cussions, starting Tuesday, Rusk will investigate Soviet intentions regarding an East West non-aggression pact in Europe, proposals for prevent ing surprise attack, the reduc tion of foreign troops in Ger many and other "peace" meas ures.

The British parly includes Lord Priw Seal Edward Healh and parliamentary Un der Secretary of Stale Peter Thomas. Today Rusk and Home will meet for joint consultations and then dine with Kohlcr.

Outlook Good The outlook for employ ment is generally good for at' least the next 60 days, Pat ton said. The short pear crop will offer less than the usual amount of work in the packing houses. A heavy demand for pick ers is anticipated because scattered fruit results in less production per picker, and consequently more pick ers are needed in proportion to the size of the crop.

The government , statement on testing said: "Those who today oppose the prohibition of nuclear tests, whatever verbal con trivances they may resort to, show themselves to be oppo nents of the line of relaxing international tension and of undermining the forces of ag gression and war." The test ban treaty can be objected to only by people who stand aside from the struggle of the peoples against nuclear war and who cover up with a flashy phrase about the most radical disarmament measures their lack of readi ness or desire to achieve dis armament.
