By Russians
Hemisphere Nations
Support U.S. Stand,
WASHINGTON (P)--The West-
ern Hemisphere nations rallied in
support of the United States po-
sition on nuclear testing yester-
day, and censured the Soviet Un-
ion for exploding a 50-megaton
superbomb.
The action came in a unani-
mous vote by the Organization of
American States Council.
Cuba abstained and rebuked the
council for unilaterally condemn-
ing the Soviet Union while ignor-
ing United States nuclear tests in
the past. .
The OAS acted in a resolution
Jointly presented by Uruguay,,
Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. The
document called on the United
'Nations ,to continue and expand
its search for an effective system
of control as a prerequisite for
nuclear disarmament.
The United States and Great
Britain have repeatedly taken the
same stand. The Soviet Union in-
sists that a nuclear test ban must
be part of a general disarmament
agreement. Cuba echoed the Soviet
stand in an alternate resolution
which never came to a vote be-
fore the council.
The approved resolution ex-
pressed the "deep concern" of the
hemisphere with the Soviet nu-
clear test series. It criticized Mos-
cow for "brazenly ignoring" an al-
most unanimous United Nations
resolution asking the Russians to
desist from their announced plan
to explode the giant 50-megaton
device.

To .Test Arms
WASHINGTON (JP)-Hints from
the Russians that they will pro-
long their testing of nuclear
weapons in the atmosphere, if the
United States begins such testing,
were described by a State Depart-
ment spokesman yesterday as more
of Moscow's efforts to scare the
world.
Tass, the Soviet news agency,
warned that the Soviets may be
"compelled" to extend their tests.

India Motion
Political Committee
Urges Negotiations
UNITED NATIONS (-) - The
United Nations General Assembly
and its political committee yes-
terday approved resolutions aimed
at ending tests of nuclear weap-
ons.
Big power differences appeared
to doom both in advance.
The Assembly adopted a pro-
posal by India and five nonaligned
nations urging a voluntary mora-
torium on testing. It was reject-
ed by the United States, Britain,
France and the Soviet Union.
Earlier the Assembly's political
committee approved a United
States-British resolution calling
for new East-West negotiations on
a test ban treaty providing effec-
tive international controls.
Criticizes Proposal
The Soviet Union called it a
stillborn proposal and said flatly
there never will be such negotia-
tions.
The vote in the Assembly was
71 to 20 with 8 abstentions. The
United States and the Soviet bloc
joined in the negative votes. Am'
stainers were Afghanistan, Bel-
gium, Cuba, Haiti, Netherlands,
New Zealand, Spain and Tunisia.
"I appeal to the nuclear powers
once more not to turn a deaf ear
to the pleas of humanity," India's
B. N. Chakravarty said just be-
fore the Assembly voted.
Cites Charter Duty
He said their attitude is not
compatible with ther special ob-
ligations under the UN charter to
work for peace. I
But both United States delegate
Arthur Dean and British delegate
J. B.Godber rejected the mora-
torium on the, grounds that it
failed to provide for controls. And
Semyon K. Tsarapkin, the, Soviet
delegate, said a moratorium would
only result in Soviet inferiority
in nuclear arms might.
The Assembly's committee ap-
proved a United States-British res-
olution urging a renewal of the
test ban talks.

TRIAL RUN:
Nkrumah To Give Foes
Chance for Assassination

-

ACCRA (A)-President Kwame
Nkrumah will expose himself to
his political foes today with a trial
run over the route Queen Elizabeth
II will take on her state visit
Thursday.
If Nkrumah's enemies make no
attempt on his life and there are
no other serious disturbances, the
royal tour will go on as scheduled,
reliable sources said yesterday.
The dictatorial president, whose
foes set off two bombs in this
capital Saturday, himself propos-
ed the trial run in an obvious ef-
fort to assure nervous Britain that
the queen will be safe, informants
said.
The bombing sent new waves of
uneasiness through London and
brought Commonwealth Relations
Secretary Duncan Sandys flying
here for a last-minute check. San-
dys will accompany Nkrumah on
the ride.

The queen is extremely popular
in Ghana and there is little risk
that she will be the target of any
attack during his 11-day tour. But
the British government feared
some attempt might be made
against Nkrumah while he was
with the queen.
