Moscow Threatens More Nuclear Tests
Page 5
MOSCOW — (UPI) — The Soviet Union threatened today to test "new types" of nuclear weapons if the United States goes through with its planned tests in the Pacific.
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko made the threat in a report to the supreme Soviet on the results to date of the Geneva disarmament talks.
He spoke shortly after the two houses of the Soviet parliament — the Soviet of the Union and the Soviet of nationalities — had unanimously re-elected Nikita Khrushchev premier of the Soviet Union— to no one's surprise.
Gromykc did not describe the "new type" of weapons.
GROYKYO SAID THAT SHOULD the West resume testing, the Soviet Union "will be confronted with the need to reply to such actions . . . by holding tests on new types of its nuclear weapons."
But he spoke as preparations neared completion for resumption of American atmospheric tests in the Pacific which are expected this week since the Soviet Union has not agreed to a test ban treaty with inspection safeguards. President Kennedy has said the new U.S. tests would be carried out in the absence of such an agreement.
Gromyko said the threatened new Soviet tests would be undertaken for "security, the security of its (the Soviet Union's) allies and to preserve peace."
"THIS WILL BE OUR REPLY TO any nuclear tests in the West, be it in the atmosphere or underground. in outer space or under water," Gromyko said.
Gromyko told the afternoon joint session of the Supreme Soviet that the West at the 17-nation Geneva disarmament conference was placim-
"ever-new obstacles" in the path of any agreement.

THIS IS A POSITION THE United States and Britain refuse to accept, maintaining that only international inspection with the right to make on-the-spot checks would be foolproof.
He said the eight-nation neutral proposal to the conference was not clear and precise on some matters, but said there was no doubt that the neutrals had proceeded from the premise that national detection systems would be adequate to insure compliance with any test ban arrangement.
Khrushchev listened intently to Gromyko's speech, and displayed a serious demeanor throughout the afternoon session. He was particularly serious during the brief 12-minute period it took to elect the members of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, which was climaxed by the re-election of Leonid Brezhnev as President of the Presidium.

Official Condemns Education Policies
"The low salaries attract mostly mediocre employees," Prof. Parker said. "I offered several top experts jobs in my branch, but they refused because of the low pay."
HE SAID THAT governmental departments also were hampered because of low salary scales.
He said that he felt the government should be involved in educational matters only when the whole nation is affected.
PROF. PARKER RECENTLY resigned as chairman of the foreign language division of the U.S. Department of Education.
A former U.S. Education Department official yesterday condemned waste and red tape in American governmental policies concerning public education.
The official, William R. Parker, professor of English at Indiana University, spoke at the Student Union Activities Humanities Lecture in the Kansas Union.
"I DIDN'T BELIEVE ALL the tales about red tape before I went to Washington," he said. "But I soon found that I couldn't even write a letter without 12 or 13 people approving it."
He said that this "red tape" hindered his branch from releasing information.
"Many of the people in the language field needed to know about our program," he said. "However, by the time the various bureaucrats approved the releases, the information lost its essential value.
"Policies are responsible for colossal wastes," he continued. "For example, everyone was satisfied when we announced that we would maintain the summer institutes at cost. Then the government told us we had to charge a 15 per cent overhead."
"The association received a $4.2 million grant from the government," he said. "I had the responsibility of determining where this money was
to be spent and what type of program was to be set up.
"The grant came in a vaguely written law," he said. "The law states that the association is to set up summer sessions for elementary teachers, research, area study centers and fellowships.
"THE LAW DIDNT SPECIFICALLY define what a 'center' was to be, nor list the exact qualifications for a fellowship," he said. "As a result, I had to make several decisions on my own."
Prof. Parker said that he had to define these terms.
