It would include control posts on continents, islands and a few ships at sea. In Geneva the scientists, ex- perts from Britain, Canada United States, France, Poland, the Soviet Union, Rumania and Czechoslovakia said in their final communique: “Tt is technically feasible to set up, with certain capabili- ties and limitations, a work- able and effective control sys- tem for the detection of vio- lations of a possible agree- ment on the worldwide cessa- tion of nuclear weapon tests. “Tt was established in this connection that a network of control posts which were equipped with all the neces- sary apparatus appropriate to the various methods of detec- tion of nuclear explosions should be disposed on con- tinents and on islands as well as on a few ships. in oceans.” Listing the various methods of detecting nuclear explo- sions, the experts pointed out that their combined use would considerably facilitate detec- tion. The effectiveness of these methods. would increase in the course of time with the improvement of measuring techniques and ‘“‘with study of the characteristics of natural phenomena which cause inter- ference when explosions are detected.” “The conference has adopt- ed an agreed conclusion re- garding the technical equip- ment of» the control system necessary for the detection and identification of nuclear explosions.” This control system “should be under the direction of an international control organ which would ensure the co- ordination of the activities of the eontrol system and the functioning of the sys:em in such a way that it would sat- isfy the necessary control re- quirements.” Taking the chair at the final session of the scientists, chief Soviet delegate Prof. E. Fyodorov said that they had made a contribution to world peace. Though this was small and modest it was still a con- tribution. The proposed control sys- tem was not complica.ed, he said, and even small explo- sions could be detected, though this: might be more dif- ficult if they were under- ground, under water or in cosmic space, , Pier Spinelli, director of UN’s European office, said the ‘scientists had agreed on WORLD'S SCIENTISTS AGREE — est ban can be controlled all. points and “the whole world now knows that inter- nationa 1 control of nuclear tests is possible.” Dr. J. B. Fisk, chief Am- erican delegate, spoke of the “significant measure of agree- ment” and expressed satisfac- tion at the ‘friendly and-co- operative working relations” between scientis‘s of East and West. : A full report of their find- ings would now go to their governments who would de- cide what action to take and whether or not to publish it. The delegates, who smiled and chatted to one another before the final open session began, heard a- message from Dag Hammarskjold, UN sec- retary-general. He told them their work would help “in making an ef- fective dent in the hitherto rather intractable problem of disarmament.” It was now up to the gov- ernments concerned to “fol- low through the opening you have created. I have every hope that in due course they will indeed make ~the neces- sary constructive .effort,” said Hammarskjold. British Labor Party calls for H-test ban LONDON-~—The British Labor Party’s national. executive committee last week called on the government to reverse its decision to hold a further series of nuclear tests in the near future. Fresh tests now “could jeopardise the current pros- pects for an international con- troled suspension of all nu- clear tests,” said the party leaders. It continued in part: “The Labor party has fre- quently urged M.M. govern- ment to suspend British tests as a means of hastening in- ternational suspension. A joint appeal to this effect was made by the Labor party and the TUC on March 6. : “This appeal was ignored. As a -result, the initiative passed to the Soviet Union, which on March 31 announced suSpension of its own nuclear LABOR VENUTI'S B.C.
