Supreme Soviet Declares Halt To All Nuclear Testing
(Compiled from United Press)
The Soviet Union announced today it was halting all tests of nuclear weapons without waiting for similar agreement from the United States and Britain.
But, in announcing the decision to the windup session of the newly-elected Supreme Soviet, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko said if the United States, Britain and other nuclear powers fail to take similar steps, the Kremlin "naturally" would have to reconsider its action "in the interests of its security."
No date was mentioned as to when the ban should take effect, but Gromyko said Russia—"regrettably"—was the only country ready to sign such an agreement without delay.
After some debate, the Supreme Soviet unanimously approved the plan for unilateral suspension of Soviet nuclear tests.
Predicts Western Crash
Predictes Western Crash Gromyko said there was every reason to believe that the higher the West's level of militarization, "the steeper will be their fall into the abyss of an economic crash."
The U. S. has announced its plans
for a further series of nuclear tests in the Pacific. It would be an obvious propaganda success for Russia if the U. S. went through with the tests after the Russians had announced a voluntary ban of their own.
The new first deputy is F. R. Koslov, 50, who has been head of the Leningrad Communist party and premier of the Russian Republic, the largest of the Soviet states.
Meanwhile, Russia demoted former Premier Nikolai Bulganin to the sinecure post of state bank president and appointed a rising young Communist from Leningrad to be first deputy to Premier Nikita Khrushchev.
In Washington, the House Appropriations Committee today voted the Agriculture Department $3,216,988,-549 for fiscal 1959 after rejecting administration attempts to economize on the farm program.
Almost simultaneously, Congress moved to pump more government millions into the ailing economy.
New First Deputy
It acted as an AFL-CIO economist predicted that unemployment will rise to six million in June or July and the Labor Department added 25 big industrial centers to its list of "distressed areas."
The house took a parliamentary short-cut to rush action on the multi-billion dollar federal highway construction bill.
At the Kansas capitol, Gov. George Docking said today he would veto any proposal to raise the state sales tax from two to three per cent, with a provision exempting the sale of groceries.
Such a proposal has been advocated by some Republican leaders in the Kansas legislature, and was known to have been ready for introduction in the recent budget session. Instead, Docking vetoed the one-half per cent sales tax increase.
It sent the legislation to a Senate-House conference to settle differences between its two-billion-dollar bill on the Senate's more far-reaching measure to put $5,500,000,000 in federal and state funds into the highway program in the next two fiscal years.
