Underground
Tests Studied
t
To Curb Fallout
Failure to negotiate a ban on
atomic tests could lead the
United States to keep its nu
clear explosions underground
in an effort to reduce the fall
out hazard, Atomic Energy
Commission officials said yes
terday.
An underground test explo
sion this week lent some en
couragement to the view that
this method of trying out nu
clear devices is practical, they
added.
No decision has been reached,
the officials emphasized, on
what the United States should
do if negotiations in Geneva
break down and Russia con
tinues testing.
Much would depend on the
circumstances, they said, ex
plaining that large-scale Rus
j sian tests might push the
; United States into resuming its
1 own explosions, which last
week were suspended for one
year.
If testing must be resumed.
| the officials said, explosions
may be limited to underground
blasts. Last week’s test re- j
suited in limited radioactive
! fallout, and even this might
be reduced by digging deeper,
an expert said.
The idea of reducing fallout
by going underground has been
a “perennial” topic of discus
sion at the AEC for two or
three years, an official said.
Fear of fallout has become a
world-wide issue, so any method
of limiting the hazard would
strengthen the propaganda po
sition of the United States.
United States tests will not
be resumed while negotiations
continue, officials emphasized.

Reach Accord
In New York
NEW YORK. Nov. 1 (AP).—
The New York Times and the
New York Newspaper Guild
reached a tentative agreement
today in a contract dispute.
The agreement brought to
five the number of city's seven

ments with the Guild before
midnight last night, a strike
deadline. The Daily News and
the guild came to terms a few
| hours later.
Strike to Halt All
The papers had said they
would halt publication if a
guild strike against one or more
papers resulted in refusal by
craft union employes to cross
picket lines. A strike by Herald
Tribune or Post employes still
could shut down all seven
papers.
The terms of the Times’
agreement were similar to those
agreed upon earlier by the other
papers. The agreement embod
ies a $7 two-year package, $4
the first year and $3 the second. :

tiator, said the agreement did ;
not Include the agency shop]

All agreements are subject to
ratification by Guild member
ship. Tift re are 6,200 Guild

mise between the final $9 pack

the (g original offer of the
newspapers. Under the old
contracts, wages range from
$78.50 to $84.50 weekly for
starting reporters and photog
raphers to $148.50 and $151.50
