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.
With a quick signing of
names in St. Catherine's Hall
of the Kremlin, the three na
tions agreed to the first major
control pact between East and
West since the end of World
War II.
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."

Almost at the moment tne
treaty was being signed, the
denounced me western pow-
crs and Khrushchev personall
ly for accepting it.
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. A com
plicated factor in reaching
further agreements Is bound
to be the determination of
both France and Communist
China to achieve their own
