McNamara said today that no current U.S. military secrets have been stolen in the recent wave of international spy cases. McNamara also told a news conference the espionage cases in Germany, Sweden and Britain did not involve any American service personnel. The secretary's remarks were touched off by reports of U.S. concern over the recent spy ar rests and that some American secrets were lost. McNamara said there had been no compromise of any "current" American military plans or wea pons systems. He said no special action was underway to safeguard secrets but procedures are always under review to see how they can be improved. He said that an enforceable nu clear test ban would forestall a further spread of atomic weapons.

The settlement was greeted with a few jeers in El Paso and a few cheers in Juarez, El Paso's sister city across the border.

For the 193 island acres gained the United Stales. 193 acres would remain in Mexico. Mexico would get a net of 437 acres.

Soviets Renew Offer Of International Controls MOSCOW (UPI) Soviet Pre mier Nikita Khrushchev today re newed an earlier proposal that would permit international con trol teams inside the Soviet Un ion to reduce the risk of surprise attack. Diplomatic sources said the So viet revival of the offer original ly made by the Russians in 1958 might signal a breakthrough in negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union. Khrushchev revived the plan in speech in the Kremlin at a Hungarian friendship" meeting. On Parity Basis "We hold it expedient to set up in definite control spots, both 0. the Soviet Union and other coun tries, ground control posts at air ports, railways, junctions, high ways and major pons," ne saia. Of course all this must be done on a parity oasis. The 1958 Soviet control team proposal died on the vine because the West at the time fell that the Soviets were not really interested in cutting the risk of accidental war. In reviving the plan today Khrushchev said: 'Such a measure docs not in itself guarantee the maintenance jeclipse. Don't even peek. Experts advise that even one second s ex posure to the full rays of the sun can cause permanent damage to the eyes. Because the sun is partially ob scured, no pain is felt, but in visible ultraviolet and infrared rays do their damage. Surgeon General Dr. Lulher Terry says this: "Watch It on television." For those who shun the video approach, this is recommended: Punch a pinhole in a piece of cardboard; then, with your back to the sun, hold the cardboard above one shoulder and let the sun's image reflect on another piece of cardboard held in front of you.

Khrushchev s renewal of the Soviet proposal came less than a week after American and British negotiators arrived in Moscow for nuclear test ban talks. It also came as the United States and the Soviet Union were pre paring to set up a "hot line" di rect communications link between Washington and Moscow to pre vent an outbreak of war by acci dent. The test ban negotiators today were discussing a limited agree ment in an optimistic atmo sphere. Khrushchev said in his Kremlin talk that there is "now a hope" of concluding a partial test ban, barring a radical change in the position of the United States and Britain.

Said settlement of the Ger man problem would be a very good thing but could come only through signature of a German peace treaty. As they came on today's ne gotiating session tlie Soviets ig nored a warning from Commu nist China against negotiating with "sinister, fraudulent" Amer icans. Western sources said the Soviet and Allied negotiators, finding no obstacles to agreement on a par tial test ban, were going on to discuss other cold war issues such as Berlin. U.S. Undersecretary of State W. Avcrell Harriman, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and British Science Minister Lord Hailsham met in the fifth session of the big three talks as optimism continued high in Moscow on prospects for success. Even as the three-power nego tiators met in Moscow, a warn ing came from Peking that Red China would not be bound by an atomic lest ban agreement. mk Pinhole 'ex VU 1 II I It MOSCOW (UPD - Premier Nikita Khrushchev, in a stinging rebuke to Red China, said today that only cowards seek war and warned the Chinese Communists their attempts to force him from power in the Soviet Union would be "futile. Khrushchev challenged anyone seeking to overthrow his govern ment to visit any factory or plant in Russia and see how firmly the Soviet people are be hind him. "Futile are tlie attempts of those who are trying to change the leadership in our country," Klirushchcv said in a Kremlin speech that was considered per haps the toughest language ever fired by the Soviets against the Red Chinese in tlie widening breach between the two Commu nist giants. Reaffirms Soviet Stand Khrushchev lashed out at the Peking regime for insisting on "the necessity of unleashing a wprld war to dispose of tlie des tinies of peoples." He reaffirmed the Soviet stand of peaceful coex istence with the West and said de pi(e what the "cowards" thought, communism will conquer capitalism without a war. The Soviet leader's remarks, delivered as Russian and Chinese Communist leaders met once more to try to scttlo their ideo logical differences, was seen as probably a death knell for the al ready chilled efforts to seal the rut between Moscow and Peking, Some diplomats considered Khrushchev's remarks almost an ultimatum to the Chinese Com munist delegation currently in Moscow either to toe tlie party line or clear out for home. Khrushchev said "imperialism" which the Peking Communists 1 J-r-n, I L.. ....... tr want ueil'meu uy nai n in-var ., trn,hLl" rvfnr , h J strength of socialism.

Most Direct Snub Western observers saw the speech as a major olive branch of peace toward the West and perhaps the tlie most direct So viet snub to Communist China so far. Klirushchcv was welcoming Hungarian Communist chief Ja- nos Kadar to Moscow. Pointedly shaking his finger while delivering remarks obvi ously directed at China, tlie So viet leader said tlie Socialists who could not convert words into deeds were nolhingejbut "jabber- mourns. Klirushchcv made his remarks which diplomats believed could spark tlie final explosion splitting Moscow and Peking a digres sion and returned to his pre pared speech reviewing Hungar ian history. But diplomats said the points he made in the digression would not be used by tlie Red Chinese delegation here for the ideological talks. Khrushchev said some persons believed "there must be revolu tion, there must be war and so ciety would be built on corpses." Do these fanatics know, Khrushchev asked, "that if all nuclear means were used, those who survived would perhaps envy the dead?" While Khrushchev spoke, So viet and Chinese delegates met in another round of their talks after a 24-hour recess called to enable the Peking team to get new instructions from home. y-,.,,:. --ij Communist sources reported.
