The group opened the program with “The Star-Spangled Ban ner," which it played with vigor, and then the Soviet anthem, which was played more subtly.

Move On A-Test Ban MOSCOW, Jan. 4 (AP).— 1 The publication Soviet Russia I today asked why the United i States had made a decision freeing itself to resume nuclear weapon tests just when agree ment on a summit meeting had finally been reached. The article by commentator Dadyant said the United States ! decision was more than strange and described it as a fly in the ointment. Mr. Dadyant blasted Presi dent Eisenhower's assertion that the Russians were block ing agreement at the Geneva negotiations on a permanent ban on nuclear tests. Mr. Eisenhower accused the Russians in the scientific talks ' accompanying the political negotiations of clouding pros pects for agreement by taking an “intemperate and techni ! cally unsupportable" stand. 1 Mr. Dadyant conceded that ' an argument had arisen in Geneva regarding detection of > underground blasts, but he said 1 it was not the Soviet Union ; that raised the point. This would seem a purely technical matter, rather than ’ any kind of "political consider ation" such as the United ■ States Government is trying • to make it. the writer said. He added that this technical argument could easily be tested Iby signing an appropriate i agreement to end the tests and i enforcing a control system for test detection.

ADA Lists Its Goal in Legislation By the Associated Press Americans for Democratic Action yesterday listed a Fed eral budget adequate for the Nation’s needs and a meaning ful civil rights bill among its five priorities for the congres-| sional session starting Wed nesday. The ADA, a group of self styled political liberals, also called for Federal aid to edu cation, proposals to eliminate poverty and expansion of for eign trade and aid to meet the problem of balance of pay ments now running against the United States. Samual H. Beer, ADA na tional chairman and head of the Department of Govern- ments at Harvard University, criticized both parties for past efforts. He said the country “will not be fooled by flimsy legislative products in fancy packages labeled ’Aid to Edu cation’ or ‘Civil Rights.’” “It will have to look behind the label to see what is inside the package," Mr. Beer said. He added that liberals rec ognize that "legislative policies of appeasement and compro mise have produced neither good legislation nor clear issues, and have benefitted only the conservative cause gen erally and (Vice President) Richard Nixon specifically." He added: “If congressional leaders continue to embrace the ad ministration's failure of eco nomic policy and allow the President's budget to . take precedence over genuine solu tions of the Nation’s most im portant problems, including na tional defense and education, there will be no hope that legis lative achievement can match either political promises or na tional needs." Suspect Jealous' Os Slain Priest BUFFALO, N. Y„ Jan. 4 (AP).—A man charged with first-degree murder in the slay ing of a Roman Catholic priest apparently thought a woman was rejecting him in favor of the priest, police say. Alfonso Catalano. 77, a re tired laborer, had received communion from the Rev. Vin cent Belle, 38. an assistant pas-, tor at Holy Cross Church, a few hours before the priest was I found shot to death New Year's Day in his automobile in the parish garage. Catalano faced arraignment in city court today. A middle-aged mother of eight had refused Catalano’s) attentions, police said, and Catalano had accused the priest of improper conduct with the woman. Police Commissioner Frank Felicetta called it "a figment of his imagination.” See for yourself how fast your savings grow at Northwestern's current annual dividend rate payable four times each year Northwestern has paid liberal dividends on savings nvry- year since way back in 1901 Whether you have five dollars or five figures to invest, open a savings account at North western and see how fast your nest egg grows.

He was only 52 and had been premier and head I of the dominant Union Na-; tionale Party only since Sep tember. when he succeeded the late Maurice Duplessis. Thousands filed yesterday past Mr. Sauve's bier at his home in St. Eustache, 20 miles northwest of Montreal.
