Resolution Condemns
Nuclear Explosions
By The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS-The Unit-
ed Nations General Assembly vot-
ed yesterday overwhelmingly in
favor of a resolution to ban all
nuclear tests by Jan. 1, but backed
away from another resolution to
expel the Union of South Africa.
The final South Africa resolu-
tion asks the Security Council to
consider expulsion if diplomatic
and trade boycotts invoked by
member nations fail to weaken its
insistence on maintaining white
supremacy.
A number of countries abstained
on the resolution -as a whole, un-
willing to vote for punitive clauses
but unwilling to vote against lan-
guage that condemned the apart-
heid policies.
The major test ban resolution,
submitted by 37 non-aligned na-
tions, condemned all nuclear tests
and:
1) Demanding an end to all tests
by the end of the year.
2) Sought an outright ban on all
tests in the atmosphere, in outer
space and under water.
3) Recommended a limited ban
on underground tests coupled with
adequate assurances of inspection
rights for an international scien-
tific commission.
4) Asked the 18-nation disarma-
ment commission to reconvene at
Geneva not later than Monday to
work out a test ban agreement and
to report back to the General As-
sembly by Dec. 10.
In the political committee both
sides cited the Cuban situation as
evidence of the urgent need for an
early disarmament agreement.
Zorin pressed Soviet demands
for quick action to eliminate nu-
clear weapons, and troops and
from foreign soil in the first stage
of the over-all disarmament plan.

a
UNITED NATIONS OP) -- Acting
United Nations Secretary-General
U Thant was reported confident
yesterday of completing arrange-
ments for International Red Cross
inspection of Cuba-bound Soviet
ships. '
But there were increasing signs
of United States impatience over
lack of results from Soviet-Cuban
negotiations on other inspection
measures.
The acting secretary-general set
up an appointment late in the day
with Paul Ruegger, former presi-
dent of the International Commit-
tee of the Red Cross, and Melchoir
Borsinger, secretary of the ICRC
executive board. They flew to UN
headquarters from Geneva.
Red Cross Inspection
The United States and the So-
viet Union have agreed to Red
Cross inspection of the Cuba-
bound ships to see if they are
carrying arms. Cuban Prime Min-
ister Fidel Castro has said he will
go along with that.
Reliable informants said Thant
felt that this aspect of the inspec-
tion problem could be worked out
with relative ease.
But there was increasing con-
cern from the United States side
over lack of reports from Havana
that Castro would agree to on-the-]
Cuban Exiles Tell
Of Storage Caves
WASHINGTON (AP)-Cuban ex-
iles said yesterday first-hand re-
ports from the island tell of dozens
of underground installations and
caves being used to hide missiles
and nuclear weapons.
Herminio Portell Vila, a former
professor at the University of Ha-
vana, said the Soviet Union's mili-
tary advisers in Cuba have been
fuinished an extensive list of hid-
ing places by a Cuban speleologist
who spent years surveying and
mapping Cuban caves.
Responsible government sources,
however, discounted the reports of
underground installations and said
they are not provable.
Y
I. Mikoyan went into his fourth
day of negotiations with Castro
without any hint of progress.
Reliable sources said that in
previous meetings the United
States was telling the Soviet Union
that Castro's demands for removal
of the Guantanamo Base and oth-,
er concessions from the United
States were not pertinent to the
issue at hand.
The United States was described
as demanding that the Russians
make good on Soviet Premier Niki-
ta Khrushchev's promises of verifi-
cation for removal of Soviet mis-
siles and dismantling of bases. The
Americans made clear they would
accept any competent inspection
authority, but on-the-scene in-
spection was required.
Inbound Ships
There has been no agreement,
informants said, on any inspection
except the International Red Cross
role for inbound ships.
The United States is insisting
also that Soviet jet bombers be
classified as offensive weapons and
removed from Cuba.

DAMASCUS-Crown Prince Fai-
sal of Saudi Arabia yesterday pro-
claimed the abolition of slavery,
in a general announcement set-
ting modernizing reforms, and ac-
cused the United Arab Republic of
open air-sea bombardment of two
villages on the Red Sea.
He also reported that diplomatic
relations have been broken with
Cairo.
The breach carried the Arab
kingdom one step closer to open
armed conflict with President Ga-
mal Nasser's UAR over the revolu-
tion in Yemen, where a Nasser-
supported revolt toppled the mon-
archy in September.
Backed by Nasser's planes, tanks
and men, Yemeni revolutionary
President Abdullah Sallal said in
a statement quoted by the semi-
official UAR Middle East News
Agency that his government has
decided to seize Qizan and Najran,
a border town 150 miles inland
from the port.
Prince Faisal announced his
armed forces are moving to the
attacked border. He said so far
the bombardment has not been
accompanied by troop landings.
In an attempt to head off the
peril of an inter-Arab shooting
war over Yemen, President Nazam
El Kudsi of Syria called for Pan-
Arab mediation by Kings and other
heads of state of Morocco, Alger-
ia, Tunisia, Lybia, Sudan, Lebanon
and Iraq.
A Saudi communique broadcast
by Messa radio said UAR planes
and three naval units began bom-
barding two villages near Qizan at
noon Monday and reported the fir-
ing was continuing. It claimed
"great fatal casualties and prop-
erty losses" in the villages of Al
Muswassem and Khalaf. Faisal
said the attacking naval units are
destroyers.
The Saudi government "reserves
its absolute right to take what-
ever measures are necessary to
defend the country against this
overt aggression," the communique
said.
NEW DELHI P)-Red Chinese
forces have made two thrusts in-
to undisputed Indian territory and
are building up for an attack on a
key Indian air field near Ladakh,
high in the Himalayan frontier, a
defense ministry spokesman said
yesterday.
The government announced it
planned to recall nearly 7,000 In-
dian troops serving overseas un-
der the United Nations flag. It also
said it will begin teaching villagers
to shoot, as a back line of defense
against Communist intruders.
For the first time since the Red
Chinese opened their military
drives to occupy disputed border
territories, their forces have made
spearhead thrusts into territory
not previously claimed by the Pei-
ping regime.
One of these thrusts was made
into an abandoned Indian military
base that controls northern Lad-
akh, endangering the entire Indian
position on the western front.
The defense ministry spokesman
reported another excursion into
Indian territory 850 miles south-
east of Ladakh, on the other end
of the Himalayan war front. But,
he said, the Chinese force was
driven back across the Tibetan
border.
The Chinese appeared to be

OTTAWA (P) -- The United
States has recalled its Atomic En-
ergy Commission liaison officer in
Canada for challenging "the image
that Canada is our good' friend."
The United States Embassy said
yesterday Robert W. Ritzmann,
who has been serving in Canada
for about two years, had been
called home on orders of the State
Department.
A letter appearing in the Wash-
ington Post Monday under Ritz-
mann's name criticizing Canada's
role in the Cuban crisis got the
American atomic technical repre-
sentative into hot water.

seeking to occupy Chushul Airfield
near Ladakh. Informed sources
said they had moved up artillery,
tanks and large numbers of troops.
India has flown light tanks into
Chushul and is expected to fight
hard to retain its only important
airfield near the Ladakh battle-
line.
Chushul Airfield had been used
to supply Indian forces fighting
in the Ladakh area. It has been
under Chinese artillery attack for
several days.
The Indian government organ-
ized a 30-man National Defense
Council with Prime Minister Jaw-
World New
arahlal Nehru at its head. The
council will advise the government
on the conduct of the undeclared
war opened by the Red Chinese.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Minis-
try said it is planning to ask the
United Nations to release 5,700
first line troops with the United
Nations force in the Congo.
United States Ambassador John
Kenneth Galbraith said the Unit-

ing rushed to India was "not in-

tary alliance or otherwise in-
fluence her policy of nonalign-
ment."

WASHINGTON -- Somewhere
on the rocky road to the New
Frontier, the Senate of the United
States acquired a new wagon mas-
ter.
Few men know the trails better
or can smell a water hole or am-
bush faster. Few can get more out
of one bull whip or pack more pork
into one wagon or shoot faster
from the hip or cow more Indians
with a shotgun or trinket or fix
a wheel quicker than Robert Sam-
uel Kerr, the rough, tough son of
Oklahoma pioneers.
Kerr was born in a log cabin. He
has climbed farther from such
humble real estate than any mem-.
ber of Congress since Lincoln, al-
though their directions may have
differed. He is today one of the
most powerful members of the
Senate and some even call him its
uncrowned king. He is also its
richest member and most searing
orator.
Dissimilar Styles
Few, if any, members of govern-
ment these days receive more soli-
citous attention from President
John F. Kennedy than does big
Bob Kerr - two men whose styles
are as dissimiliar as a Derringer
and a shotgun. The President
needs Kerr. Kerr needs the Presi-
dent. But the Oklahoma Democrat
is in a unique position. He can, it
seems, be either the administra-
tion's best friend or most effective
enemy.
It was Kerr who was largely
credited with defeating the Presi-
dent's Medicare bill (the Senator
has the final vote tally framed on
the wall of his office along with
fishing trophies). But it was also
Kerr who was chosen by the Ad-
ministration to lead the fight for
its tax and trade bills.

Publicly, Kerr modestly dis-
claims the title of most powerful
Senator. "No Senator controls
more than one vote," he says and
then, with a characteristic talent
for stirring a little arsenic into a
milky platitude, adds, "and some
don't even control that."
Committee Assignments
He is the ranking Democrat on
the Senate Finance Committee
and since its chairman, Harry F.
Byrd, (D-Va.), is so often anti-
Administration, the White House
frequently turns to Kerr for help
there. He is chairman of the Space
Committee, which has handled
$3.7 billion worth of legislation.
He is acting chairman of the Pub-
lic Works Committee, where it
helps to have a friend if you're a
Senator who needs a dam built or
harbor dredged back home. As the
latter, he also sits in on the pub-
