He- never Document Hailed As Initial Step To Assure Peace Khrushchev Hopes ?or Better Relations Moscow -(UPD- The United States, Britain and the Soviet Union today signed an his toric partial nuclear test ban treaty which they hailed as an initial step toward ending the cold war and guarantee ing peace.

Secretary of State Dean Rusk signed for the United Slates, Foreign Minister An drei Gromyko for the Soviet Union, and Foreign Secretary Lord Home for Britain. So viet Premier Nikita Khrush chev, beaming with satisfac tion, joined in the drinking of champagne toasts that fol lowed the signing. After the ceremony t h e three signers voiced their hopes for the future in these words: Rusk - "A good first step . . . if collectively we and other nations pursue a course to insure that the forward momentum of the agreement is maintained by further steps, man's long hopeful quest for peace will cease to be only a dream and will begin to acquire solid reality." Gromyko-The treaty "may pave the way for the solution of other, more important, in i ternational problems, includ ing the problem of disarmament."

Each of the foreign min isters signed three copies of the document, written la English and Russian, with long pens dipped in inkwells. Although joining in the ex pressions of hope for the fu ture, Rusk pointed out that the treaty does not end the threat of nuclear war. "It does not reduce nuclear stockpiles," he said. "It does not halt production of nuclear weapons. It does not restrict their use in time of war. "It is, therefore, not pos sible for us to guarantee what the significance of this act shall be. History will event ually record how we deal with the unfinished business of peace." The treaty bans ail nuclear tests except those under ground. Before it becomes binding on the United States it must be ratified by the Sen ate, where favorable action is believed almost certain. The signing of the agree ment today sharpened still further the split between the Soviet Union and Red China on ideological issues.
