West Desires Treaty
On Nuclear Test Ban
WASHINGTON (R)-The United
States and Great Britain urged'
the, Soviet Union yesterday to re-'
turn to the Geneva conference ta-'
ble and resume the nuclear test
ban talks which ran aground
nearly two months ago.
There was little, if any, hope
that Moscow will accept the invi-
tation, That the chances are slim
was indicated last week by Valer-
ian Zorin, chief Soviet delegate to
the United Nations, who said a.
test ban treaty must be worked
out within the framework of gen-
eral disarmament.
Talks Recessed
The three-year-long tripartite
talks were recessed Sept. 9, to give
the UN General Assembly a chance
to discuss the issue,
The United States note said the
world organization has completed
its debate by adopting a resolu-
tion calling for resumption of the
talks. Therefore, the note went on,
the United States proposes that
the discussions should continue
starting Nov. 28, or on any other
date agreeable to the Soviets.
Talks Stall
The Geneva talks became stall-
ed when the Russians resumed
testing in the atmosphere on Sept.
-1.
Since then Russia has exploded
more than 30 nuclear devices in
what the State Department called
"the single most intensive testing
program in history." It included 25
and 55-megaton superbombs-the
mightiest ever touched off.
Bonn Recalls
Ambassador
From Moscow
BONN WA) -- Veteran German
Diplomat Hans Kroll yesterday
faced possible removal from his
post as ambassador to Moscow in
the backlash of his talk with
Premier Nikita Khrushchev on the
Berlin crisis.
Kroll allegedly made at least
two proposals that do not repre-
sent the West German govern-
ment's position.
The two proposals correspond
with what press reports from Mos-
cow said last week were a new So-
viet plan for ending tension over
Berlin:
1) A four-power agreement on
the status of West Berlin and ac-
cess to it from West Germany.
2) An arrangement between the
Soviet Union and Communist East
Germany to guarantee this agree-
ment.

Congolese Appeal to UN
To Help Fight Katanga
UNITED NATIONS (MP-The Central Congo government yester-
day demanded effective aid from the United Nations to put an end to
what it called chaos stirred up by Katanga Premier Moise Tshombe.
Justin Bomboko, the Congolese foreign minister, denounced
Tshombe as a traitor who was responsible for the division of The
Congo.
Bomboko addressed the 11-nation Security Council as it met for
the first time since last February to consider events in The Congo.

WASHINGTON-President John
F. Kennedy has decided to take
the giant-stride route to a new
American tariff policy, in step
with the thriving European Com-
mon Market..
The move could plunge him into
the roughest legislative fight of his
presidency. If his timing is off,
AMERICAN TARIFF POLICY:
Kennedy Nears Daring Trade Program
(yl a,
the kind from which lawmakers
recoil, one affecting the Jobs of
some voters and the earnings of
some businessmen and campaign
contributors.
Kennedy is convinced that the
trade agreements act, expiring
June 30, must not only be renewed
but should be rewritten into a
more potent long-term instrument
of foreign policy and trade ex-
pansion.
Negotiating Authority
To keep the export lanes open
to this country and its good neigh-
bors in Latin America and the Far
East, Kennedy wants authority to
negotiate give-and-take tariff cuts
on whole groups of commodities
and with entire blocs of countries.
The product-by-product, month-
by-month, dickering over tariffs
and quotas now required by the
law has been outmoded, the ad-
ministration contends, by the
emergence of the common market
concept.
While removing their internal
trade barriers - andsexpanding
trade among themselves by 50 per
cent in the process-the six com-
mon market countries are erecting
a uniform tariff wall against ex
ports of the United States and
other outsiders. Their manufac
turers, meanwhile, are giving thi
country ever-stiffening competi
tion in non-Europeon markets, in.
cluding the United States itself.
Inrecent weeks Great Britain
Ireland and Denmark have ap-
plied to join the original six. Nor.
way may follow. Thus Western Eu.
rope shapes up into a potentia
unified market of 250 million peo-
ple with United States exporters
looking in from outside.
"Our allies in Europe are n(
longer dealing in item-by-item
terms, and we must adapt our ne-
gotiating authority accordingly,'
said the provocative bipartisan re-
port filed Nov. 2 with a House
foreign economic affairs subcom-
mittee.
WASHINGTON - The Peace
Corps has recruiting troubles
again.
This time it is not a shortage
of applicants but a shortage of
specialists needed for specific proj-
ects overseas.
To date, the corps, headed by
R. Sargent ShriversJr., has re-
ceived 14,354 applications. Al-
most 8,000 applicants have taken
entrance tests. Several thousand
more are expected to report for
the next nation-wide examina-
tions on Nov. 28 and Nov. 29.
Minor Dent
But the shortage of needed
talents has already put a minor
dent in Peace Corps planning. For
example, lack of farm experts re-
cently forced the corps to cancel
agricultural parts of two overseas
projects.
Also .in short supply are con-
struction hands, medical techni-
cians and heavy-equipment oper-
ators.
Another planning problem is the
tendency of would-be volunteers
on college campuses to delay send-
ferred to other projects. Peace
Corps officials are satisfied so far
with this attrition rate.
The bulk of applications come
from college students or gradu-
ates with liberal arts backgrounds.
After intensive training, these
persons make highly useful vol-
unteers, particularly in the teach-
ing assignments that now consti-
tute the majority of corps proj-
ects overseas.
Complicating the build-up and
the recruiting - selection - training
process are requests from foreign
governments for certain special-
ists in small groups. These spe-
cialists are hard to find.

"If a person plans to go to

Over-all, the corps has largely
met the goal set by President John
F. Kennedy when he set up the
corps last March-500 to 1,000
volunteers overseas or in train-
ing by 1962. Seventeen projects
in a dozen countries have been
scheduled.
Seven hundred $75-a-month
