Kennedy pledged yesterday that his administration will not sign an atomic test-ban treaty unless it contains "every assurance" of detecting any sneak series of explo- sions by the Soviets. In Geneva yesterday, the Soviet Union brushed aside a new United States demanded for negotiations on inspection procedures in a treaty banning nuclear weapons tests. United States Delegate Charles C. Stelle called the Russian refus- al stonewall tactics. He told the I * j17-nation disarmament conference the West is puzzled over how to proceed in quest of a treaty. JOHN F. KENNEDY .. inspection required !BITTERNESS: French .Act To Conclude, Coal Strike By The Associated Press PARIS-The French government last night threatened new tough measures to end the six-day strike of 200,000 coal miners. The imposition of coal and gas rationing loomed. The announcement came after a meeting of French President Charles de Gaulle and his cabinet. It brought a reaction of bitterness froth union leaders in northern France, where half the coal is min- 0d. They said they are preparing for a long strike. Union leaders told a mass meet- ing of several thousand miners at Merlebach in Lorraine they would negotiate, but not if the govern- ment insisted on its back-to-work condition. The government did not specify the action it would take. Define Inspection N Stelle said the Soviet offer of three on-site inspections a year is meaningless as long as the Rus- sians refuse to explain what they mean by an inspection. Soviet Ambassador Semyon K. Tsarapkin said the United States is blocking an agreement because it wants to continue improving its nuclear weapons. In Washington critics have been contending that United States test ban negotiators at Geneva are of- fering too many concessions to the Soviets-even though the Reds have shown no willingness to ac- cept reduced United States de- mands. Affect of Tests Kennedy was asked specifically about a weekend statement by Deputy Disarmament Director Ad- rian F. Fisher. Fisher said the executive branch of the govern- ment has concluded that further underground tests would not alter the United States-Soviet strategic military ainnce. Kennedy was asked why, under this assessment, the United States could not accept the Soviet offer of up to three on-site inspections annually to police a test ban. Unit- ed States negotiators have said there ought to be seven on-the- spot checks a year. Kennedy said the administra - tion "'would not accept a test ban which would permit indefinite un- derground testing by the Soviet Union." Other Problems Saying that the number of on- site inspections is only one part of the tes- ban policing question, Kennedy sair. the United States would also have to have an under- standing with the Soviets on what area could be looked at in the in- spections and under what condi- tions the inspectors could move in and out. Fi t ch ClIaim sI Some Arms' Stay in Cuba Believes Russians1 Removed Missiles WASHINGTON W) - President John F. Kennedy said yesterday he, is not satisfied with the rate at which Soviet troops are leaving Cuba. At the same time, he said he hasE no accurate information on the real extent of the withdrawal.- The question of Soviet perform-7 ance in carrying out a pledge to withdraw several thousand troops from Cuba by mid-March came in three parts: Does the administra- tion have accurate information on the number already removed? Is; Kennedy satisfied with the rate of withdrawal? Does the United States have any arrangement with; the Soviets to verify the promised, pullout? Kennedy replied, without elab- oration, "No, the answer to your question would really be no to all of them." Ground Forces A few hours after Kennedy's news conference the Army's top intelligence officer, Maj. Alva R. Fitch, told investigating senators "there are no indications that So- viet ground force units have de- parted from Cuba other than those associated with" the intermediate -and medium-range missile sys- tems. Fitch testified at a closed ses- sion of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Preparedness. Fitch said, "It is our belief that the Soviets did, in fact, remove all strategic weapons systems that were in Cuba when the quaran- tine was imposed ... No nuclear warheads are believed to be in Cuba although it is possible that they could be used by some of the weapons systems present there ... Storage Caves "There are several thousand caves in Cuba and many have been used for storage over the years." Fitch said considerable activity has been detected around these caves, and that they might be em-. ployed for storage of ammunition, supplies, vehicles and even air- craft." Kennedy said at another point the administration believes "the wisest policy is the isolation of Communism in this hemisphere" by trying to confine it to Cuba. As an example,he said the United States hopes other hemisphere countries will control the move- ment of their citizens to and from Cuba-because these people could be potential saboteurs or revolu- tionaries. 'Isolation' Policy While emphasizing the "isola- tion" policy, Kennedy drew away from a suggestion that Cuba's Communist government be under- mined by more forceful action aimed at cutting off its access to vital oil imports. Kennedy said this would require a naval blockade which he de- scribed as an act of war. For Arms WASHINGTON (P) - Dirk U. Stikker, secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza- tion, firmly endorsed yesterday the Kennedy administration's proposal that NATO be provided a nuclear force. "I am personally very much in favor of it," the Dutch diplomat told reporters after a one-hour conference with President John F.! Kennedy. Stikker said he discussed with Kennedy the problems Europe is facing since France vetoed Brit- ain's entry into the Common Mar- ket, and also the Nassau Pact be-; tween Kennedy and British Prime Hinister Harold Macmillan which first proposed a fleet equipped with nuclear arms and with crews from many nations. Stikker said there is "a great deal of interest" in the European NATO capitals in Kennedy's sug- gestion for a multi-lateral nuclear force. The idea, he said, was "rath- er favorably received" in Europe. In response to a question, Stik- ker said that he agrees with the President, who said at a news conference yesterday morning that tension in Europe has declined considerably compared with the situation two years ago. the main reason for this les- sening of tension, Stikker said, is "That the whole alliance agreed on essential points on which we are willing to risk the greatest dangers." Accordingly, he said, the Euro- peans began to build up their conventional forces and accepted heavier taxation. Russian re- straint, pe added, "is due to this active, positive stand." Subcommittee Acts To Pass Youth' Job .Act WASHINGTON (A')-- President John F. Kennedy's proposed Youth Employment. Act cleared its first hurdle in the House yesterday. A House education subcommit- tee approved it by a party-line vote with Democrats in the ma- jority. It now goes to the full House Education and Labor Com- mittee. The bill would create a 15,000- member conservation corps for youths between 16 and 22 and a home town youth corps for both young men and women in the same age bracket. The President at his news con- ference yesterday urged prompt enactment of the bill to help ease the unemployment problem of young people who have dropped out of school and can't find jobs. Abandon Plan To Eliminate Reserve Corps WASHINGTON (P)-The Penta- gon, in the face of opposition in Congress, abandoned yesterday its plan to abolish the high school Reserve Officers Training Corps and indicated instead proposals to expand it are acceptable. Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara had sought approval from Congress to end support of the program peffective July 1, transferring ROTC units to the National Defense Cadet Corps. Assistant Secretary Norman S. Paul told a House armed services subcommittee of the shift in po- sitionaf ter a hint that a fight over junior ROTC could spell trouble for the proposed overhaul of the college ROTC. Subcommittee Chairman F. Ed- ward Herbert (D-La), who had opposed the cutback since it was first suggested, said it was "sud- den, cynical and short-sighted." Paul told the subcommittee, af- ter Herbert spoke out, that the Pentagon is interested in a pro- gram "that will develop discipline, leadership and physical condition- ing of the high school student." Since the program is almost 50 years old, he said, "the army is indeed remarkably slow in becom- ing aware of its mistakes." ROBERT S. McNAMARA ... high school ROTC By BARBARA PASH The present system of drafting young men into the armed forces is not equitable, Prof. John White of the political science department said recently. Next June 30, the Universal Military Training and Service Act, which has empowered the government to draft men, will expire. A movement has developed to end the draft, he commented. The draft is partly a military problem of providing adequate manpower and how you get it. It is also an ethical problem. What you have is a political solution," Prof. White noted. Three Weaknesses Advocates of the movement say that there are three major weak- nesses in the draft act: its in- equity, the inefficiency of the draft as an instrument of national policy and that the armed forces could be supplied entirely by vol- unteers. "In view of the international situation, it will be necessary to maintain a large peace-time mili- tary capacity. One can't dispose of this need simply by being op- posed to the draft," he commented. Selective Service System Under the present law, every male, upon reaching his 18th birthday, must register with the Selective Service System. He is classified later. Approximately 40-50 per cent of a given eligible age group have been deferred for inability to sat- isfy the physical and mental standards presently required for induction. Feelings of Injustice "No system of conscription is completely fair, even in wartime. You arouse great feelings of in- justice from people who see rel- atively few being drafted and they ask 'why me'," he continued. Advocates of the movement also note that recent international crises have taught that highly mobile forces already in being, rather than the resources of the draft, produce the military lever- age needed. Military Training "The question is whether ithis better to have a person who has had some months or years of mili- tary training or none at all, Prof. White said. Another important argument: for extending the draft another four years was the claim that without it, the armed forces couldn't main- tain necessary manpower levels. Moreover, it is only the Army that utilizes the Selective Service di- rectly. "The Army is most insistent about keeping the draft because if it comes to an all-volunteer basis, the Army has always been at a disadvantage to the Navy and Marines," he continued. PROF. JOHN WHITE ...'draft not equitable' CONSTITUTION: Kelly Predicts Confinements By The Associated Press LANSING - If the proposed state constitution is adopted, pro- fessors and other educational offi- cials wouldn't be allowed to serve in the Legislature, even with a leave of absence. Atty. Gen. Frank J. Kelley is- sued this interpretation yesterday on a provision declaring that no person could be a legislator while simultaneously holding a position in a state political sub-division, defined by Kelley to include pub- lic schools and state-supported in- stitutions.

United States Delegate Francis ,T. P. Plimpton stated the position at a private meeting of a 21-nation committee that has received five proposals that would make the United States pay more than that. About 32.02 per cent is the percentage the United States pays of the regular UN budget. WASHINGTON-The House yesterday pulled tight the purse strings of the House Education and Labor Committee headed by Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D-NY). Instead of the $697,000 Powell had. sought for the two years of' the present Congress, the House voted his committee $200,000 with the implication that if he needs more later for studies and investigations, he will have to justify every additional dollar. Presumably the committee will submit a new budget next year. Of the $200,000 it approved by voice vote, the House earmarked $25,000 for each of six subcommittees. MOSCOW-Soviet election officials announced last night that 99.94 per cent of the electorate voted last Sunday in the election for Parliament of the Russian Federation. Of these, 99.59 per cent voted for the Communist-approved single slate of candidates, the Central Electoral Commission announced. It also said that 32.8 per cent of those elected were not Communist Party members. Results were much the same in eight other republics that held elections. * * * * SAIGON-The young Vietnamese navy has taken over patrol of South Viet Nam's coast from the United States 7th Fleet, military sources said yesterday. *i * * * ST.
