Geneva Committee Shelves Nuclear Issue
GENEVA — (UPI)— The 17-nation disarmament committee put the nuclear issue on the shelf today and turned to other matters while awaiting a new U.S. treaty expected next month.
The conference scheduled a final off-the-record debate on the nuclear test ban this morning, but nothing new was expected. Attention was switched to measures to reduce the risk of war by accident and to decrease international tension.
The treaty is being prepared in Washington. The talks here recess for Easter April 11-25.
Informed sources said the United States and Britain will present a new nuclear test ban treaty "just before or just after Easter." They said Chief U.S. Negotiator William C. Foster, currently in the United States, will table the treaty draft.
U. S. State Department sources said last week the new treaty places "primary reliance" for verifying a test ban treaty on monitoring stations placed outside Russia territory. The stations would check on suspicious underground disturbances in the Soviet Union.
Conference sources believe the new treaty will be the first major step to minimize, or possibly overcome, the deadlock on the inspection issue.The talks have been stalled on this point since they resumed Feb. 12.
Bull Blinks Bulbs
GRASS VALLEY, Calif.-UPI)—Pacific Gas & Electric Co. electricians have solved the month-long mystery of blinking lights here each sundown.
Foreman Bill Smith, checking lines on a ranch, saw a black bull saunter from a pasture, stop beneath a guy wire attached to a power pole—and mightly scratch its back. The power lines on the pole wobbled and twanged and back in town the lights blinked.
The soviets have agreed in principle to negotiating 2 to 3 annual on-site inspections on Soviet territory.
The West has maintained that at least 7 are necessary, particularly because there still is no agreement on where, how, when and by whom the inspections would be carried out.
The Soviets term these "secondary technical issues" easily solvable if the West will first make a "political decision" to accept 3 inspections only.
Chief Soviet Negotiator Vassili V. Kuznetsov flew to Moscow last week and no date for his return has been announced. Foster left for Washington Saturday after a speech by Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khruhschev in Moscow made it clear the Kremlin planned no compromise and that Kuznetsov had not left for new instructions.
Charlton Hinman, professor of English, will speak at the Humanities Forum, at 8 p.m., Tuesday in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.

Strong Coffee Bar OK After Cleanup
The coffee bar in Strong basement is going to stay, at least for the time being, Kevin Remick, Kansas Union concession manager reported.
He said students are beginning to respond to signs and large barrels that have been placed in Strong basement as a reminder that coffee cups and other litter should be picked up.
"The situation has improved sufficiently, so that the coffee bar will not be taken out," said Remick, "but there is always room for improvement."

ST, LOUIS, Mo. — UPI) — A "freight-train" sounding earthquake shook the nation's heartland Sunday from southern Illinois to Memphis, Tenn. There was no serious damage.
Quake Shook Midwest
The Rev. William Stauder, St. Louis University seismologist, said the tremor was "moderate to strong." Its shock was felt in nearly 20 communities, breaking windows, cracking plaster and generally mystifying people.
In Dexter, Mo., city police dispatcher Wilson Lesaler said he thought his office had been hit by a freight train. "I went out of there
like a turpentine cat." he said.

Other communities feeling the shock were Herrin, Marion, Du Quoin in Illinois; Sikeston, New Madrid, Caruthersville, Hayti, Poplar Bluff, Columbia and Dexter, Mo.; Hickman, Paducah and Fulton, Ky.; Tiptonville, Reelfoot, Pinson and Memphis, Tenn.; and some in eastern Arkansas.
Father Stauder said the center of the quake was located 140 miles south-southeast of St. Louis, Mo., in the New Madrid area. He said it registered a magnitude of about 5 on the Richter scale, "indicating a moderate to strong quake."
