Test Ban Talks Underway
MOSCOW i LTD Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev, in a jovial.
wise-cracking mood, met for 3
hours today with high U S. and
British negotiators in the opening
of a Kremlin conference that
could break the East-West dead
lock on a nuclear test ban.
U.S. chief negotiator W. Avercll
Harriman and British Minister of
Science Lord Hailsham, drive
after the meeting to the U S
.Embassy where they presumably
compared notes on the talks.
There was no immediate com
ment from either Western delega-
llon' . ,
1SUI Hiia M. U13S.IUMJU VIICII U1C
next meeting would take place in
the talks which are expected to
ilast about 10 days.
But Khrushchev s surprise
move in heading the Soviet dele
gation at the opening of the nego
tiations raised Western hopes
that some form of agreement
perhaps an accord for a limited
test ban might emerge from the
crucial conference.
Khrushchev, in opening the
three-power conference this after
noon, enthusiastically pumped the
hands of presidential envoy Harri
man and I.ord Hailsham and re
marked: "Where do we begin?
Perhaps we should begin by sign
ing an agreement first.
In a bantering aside, the Soviet
leader turned to Harriman and
said: "You did right when you
kicked the British out of Amer
ica." Khrushchev then turned to the
British chief negotiator and said:
"They acted with wisdom, they
kicked you out."
Mumbles Reply
Ilailsham's mumbled reply was
not heard distinctly.
The Soviet leader had especial
ly warm and personal greetings
(or Harriman. U. S. undersecre
tary of state who had dealt face-to-face
with Josef Stalin while
ambassador to Moscow during
World War II.
Khrushchev. 69, vigorously shak
ing the 71-year-old Harriman's
hand, exclaimed: "You are ab
solutely blooming, what are you
doing? Are you counting the years
backwards?
"1 began doing that a long time
ago, answered Khrushchev with
a broad grin.
In the light-hearted exchange be
fore lie doors were closed on the
first session of the historic con
ference, Khrushchev told Harri
man: "I am surrounded by the
imperialists."
Large Conference Room
The three-power negotiations
aimed at reaching agreement on
at least a partial nuclear test ban
opened in one of the large Krem
lin conference rooms adjoining
Khrushchev a oflicc.
The Eastern and Western nego-
tialors occupied 12 chairs on botli
sides of the table, with transla
tors sitting at cither end.
On the walls of the room were
a map of the Soviet Union and
portraits of Marx and Lenin.
U. S., British and Soviet flags
were arranged on the center of
the negotiating table.
Khrushchev's decision to take a
personal hand in the talks was
one of tlie reasons for optimism
among diplomats here that suc
cess may be in the offing alter
many months of deadlock on the
nuclear testing issue.

included:

Three Children

left Santa Rosa for Okla -
.noma, where Alford said he liad
a sister who would take care of
the youngsters. He said he gave
each of the children H0 for bus
tickets that night in Bakersfield
because he didn't think he could
drive them all the way to Okla
homa. The two youngest children gave
their money to Carol Ann for safe
keeping, but when the group ar
rived in Williams the following
day Carol Ann said the money
was gone.
Alford said a bitter argument
stalled over the money, but he
calmed down, bought the children
soft drinks, and started out with
them from Williams.
The construction worker said he
turned off onto a dirt road about
two miles from Williams, drove
another mile and parked about
300 yards off the dirt road. There
the argument over the money re
sumed, and Alford said he would
find a home for the children in
Williams.
Reached for Rifle
Alford told the children he could
no longer afford to take care of
them, but the youngsters said they
would never leave him. Alford
said he got angry again and
reached under the floorboard of
his truck for the rifle.
He said Carol Ann started to
run and he fired at her. Alford
told authorities that the next thing
he remembered was that he was
sitting on the ground with the two
guns in his hands both fired
until they were empty.
Alford said he did not even look
to see if the children were dead
or alive. He jumped into the truck
and drove back to Santa Rosa,
