Soviets Agree to Continue Geneva Disarmament Talks
GENEVA — (UPI) — The Soviet Union yielded to American and neutralist pressure today and agreed to go on negotiating in the 17-nation disarmament conference "without a break."
Deputy Foreign Minister Valerian Zorin told an informal session of the conference that the Soviets are ready to continue talking here through the summer. He did not make it clear, however, whether this means the Russians are against a three or four week break in mid-summer.
The Russian agreement to continue was a direct switch from their previous position and represented a victory for the United States and the eight neutral conferees — Brazil, Burma, Ethiopia, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Sweden and the United Arab Republic.
The Soviets have spent the last two weeks hinting in private talks that the conference should adjourn after it presents its report to the U.N. Disarmament Commission June 1, and reconvene in New York in September.
This arrangement would have suited Zorin, who heads not only the Soviet Delegation here but also the permanent mission at the United Nations. But it was frowned on by the

United States and most of the neutrals.
Lall asked a series of seven questions on various aspects of the first stage of the Soviet and American draft treaties, and each side replied.
Fred Perry, Junction City senior and chairman of the student drive, said approximately 250 students took part Monday evening.
M. S. Drive Nets $1,900
Volunteers from Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Delta Upsilon fraternities and Delta Gamma, Alpha Phi, and Alpha Chi Omega sororities canvassed Lawrence from 5 to 9 p.m. in an effort to break last year's collection record of $1,800.
Today's informal session was mainly occupied by a question and answer session between Zorin, American delegate Charles C. Stelle and Indian delegate Arthur Lall.
It was assumed by Western delegates that the Russians had changed their minds after discovering that virtually all the non-communist delegates were against a two-month recess.
Today Zorin apparently decided to back off the informal proposal. He announced at the close of the session that the Soviets are ready to go on negotiating "without a break." He did not elaborate. Chairman James Barrington of Burma closed the meeting before there could be any discussion of Zorin's statement.
This is the third year the student drive has been held. It was started by members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Delta Gamma.
Lall's questions were of a technical nature and designed to explore each side's proposals more thoroughly. He concentrated on the rival prospects for reduction of armed forces and conventional arms during the first stage of disarmament.
"I think Dolph Simons has done a really wonderful job on this," he added. Dolph C. Simons Jr., associate publisher of the Lawrence Journal-World, is chairman of the HELP-KU campaign committee.
The HELP drive this year has brought about $17,000 in gifts for student loans. Although the main campaign has ended, contributions are still coming in, Barker said.
"We're probably better than 20 per cent ahead of a comparable period a year ago and we're at least 20 per cent ahead on the number of contributors." Barker said.

HELP Money Is Being Used
Lawrence HELP-KU (Higher Education Loan Program) is a fund collected by alumni and friends of the University who live in and around Lawrence. It is used to provide loans to students to cover expenses and make it possible for them to continue their education.
"We've kept it all loaned out as fast as it came in," Maurice Barker, executive secretary of the Greater University Fund, said.

Beacon Satellite Shot Is Failure
CAPE CANAVERAL — (UPI) — The United States attempted to put a blinking Beacon satellite into an earth orbit today but the scientific project failed when the carrier rockets' second stage failed to fire.
The 79-foot Thor-Able-Star booster rocket rumbled from launching pad at 7:06 a.m. EST (6:06 a.m. Lawrence time) but about 20 minutes after launch the Air Force said the geodetic satellite "has failed to go into orbit."
Scientists had hoped to photograph Anna's flashing beacon against the background of the stars to help pinpoint more precisely any spot on earth.
