Ending a three-year morato- rium in the wake of Russia's third above-ground nuclear blast in five days, Kennedy Tuesday approved resumption of laborat- ory and underground tests -- "with no fallout"--saying there is no other choice in meeting responsibilities to A m e ricans "and to the security of other free nations." Still open until Saturday is the British-American proposal that Russia join with them in an im- Nevada Desert test site area. They emphasized there would be no danger of fallout, a contrast to Russian explosions contamin- ating the atmosphere. However, there is no complete assurance that some radioactive materials may not leak out from the American blasts. The Americans are particu-| larly interested in testing small atomic weapons for field troops; in perfecting a missile that could knock down long - range intercontinental b a 111 stic mis- siles and in examining the feas- ibility of a neutron bomb that could destroy vast numbers of humans without extensive dam- age to the cities and towns in| which they live. TELLS ALLIES mediate ban on all atmospheric nuclear tests under existing de- tection methods. A Moscow broadcast -- which claimed the British-American of- fer is just another excuse for justifying underground and at- mospheric tests--indicated that Soviet Premier Khrushchev lik- ely will reject the Western pro posal. CANADA APPROVES Prime Minister Diefenbaker of Canada told reporters in Ottawa Tuesday that the British-Amer- ican offer "represents the wishes and hopes of mankind" and was a commendable step toward attainment of a nuclear agreement. : The Canadian government has repeatedly made clear that is is opposed to all nuclear testing. John J.

Small Weapons Get First Test WASHINGTON (AP) -- Rela- tively small warheads for bat- tlefield nuclear weapons may be the first tested under Presi- dent Kennedy's go - ahead or- ders. The defence department and Atomic Energy Commission were silent on test plans. But military officials sug- gested today that tactical nu- clear weapons ranging from the explosive equivalent of 100 tons of TNT to 20,000 tons of TNT soon may be tried underground in Nevada. Among these are warheads for bombardment rockets like the Honest John, Little John, La Crosse, Corporal and Sergeant, the Davy Crockett bazooka-like weapon and a nuclear shell for know what these low - yield| weapons can do, profiting from general nuclear experimenta- tion before the suspension set in and relying on paper calcula- tions. U.S. scientists have tested below ground nuclear devices up to 20,000 tons in TNT equiva- ent. There was obvious value in actually testing the warheads themselves. The conclusion that recent Russian tests were in the low and medium range of power-- rather than the superpowerful million-ton bracket -- gave sup- port to the belief that the So- viet Union may be pushing to match the United States in mo- bile, quick-to-trigger solid fuel missiles like the U.S. Minute- man ICBM and the submarine- Union Local Bankroll Stake In Court Fight CLC.

Coalition May Provide Brazil With Cabinet BRASILIA (AP) -- Vice-Pres- ident Joao Goulart began talks today with a wide range of po- litical leaders to organize a new government for Brazil. Some were reported urging a coalition regime to give a voice to all parties. Although the date for his in- lauguration as a fi d pres- ident has not yet been fixed, Goulart landed Tuesday night at Brazil's modern capital in the interior after his personal safety had been assured and military chiefs dropped their active op- position. Goulart, assailed by military leaders as a dangerous leftist, will take over the position but not the power relinquished by Janio Quadros, who resigned as pr ident Aug. 25. COST OF LIVING Football OTTAWA (CP)--Higher prices for food, gasoline and profes- sional football game tickets helped increase Canadian living costs during July, and the con- sumer price index for Aug. 1 edged upwards one-tenth of a point to 129.1. The increase reported today by the Bureau of Statistics was the first rise in five months. The index, based on 1949 prices equalling 100, had held steady at 129 for three months. The in- dex now is 1.2 points above its level of 127.9 on Aug. 1 lo)' year. Bread prices in many cities rose one cent a loaf during July. Most fresh vegetables were cheaper, but the index of food costs rose to 125.3 from 124.9. Consumers had to pay more for transportation, due to higher gasoline prices.

The rise in living costs fol- lowed an increase in industrial wages during June. The index of average industrial wages and salaries -at July 1--latest date available--was 182.9 compared with 181.6 a month earlier and 176.3 a year earlier. The index is based on 1949 wages equal- ling 100. This wages index, computed from a survey of firms employ- ing more than 10 persons and covering a wide range of indus- tries, represents an average of total wages paid. The largest item in the con- sumer price index -- housing costs--remained unchanged at 1329 on Aug. 1.

A foreign office spokesman said Britain was not considering FREEDOM OF SPEECH ISSUE resuming tests--"not even safe ones." The spokesman would not comment further on the U.S. decision but a French govern- ment spokesman gave full ap- proval to President Kennedy's announcement. Both the British and the French spokesman said their governments had been informed in advance of the American de- cision. British newspapers said the resumption of American tests came as no surprise in view of the third Soviet test within a week. CITY EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS POLICE 725-1133 FIRE DEPT. 725-6574 HOSPITAL 723-2211 VANCOUVER (CP)--The Su- preme Court of Canada may be asked to decide whether British Columbia's 18 - month - old anti- picketing legislation represents an invalid restriction on the freedom of speech. The issue arises from the {case of Percy Konn, restrained by court injunction from patrol- ling the sidewalk in front of a midtowh Vancouver ' construc- {tion project carrying a sign {which said: "Non - union men |are working here." Konn was sometimes accom- panied by an unidentified com- panion. There was no evidence that either belonged to a union. | The B.C. Court of Appeal re- cently held by a 4-to-1 majority no common-law wrong had been committed, his action is forbid- den by a provision of the 1960 B.C. Trade Unions Act, known as Bill 43 Mr. Justice T. G. Norris, in a dissenting judgment, held that Konn was exercising an "'im- portant incident of Canadian citizenship" -- The freedom to disseminate information of pub- lic interest. The Trade Union Act says that except where there is a strike or lockout, no person shall "persuade or endeavor to persuade" anyone not to enter any employer's place of busi- ness, not to do business with any person or not to buy any person's products. Picket Law Faces sible to take the case to the case fo the Supreme Court of Canada. In the majority judgment of the court of appeal, Mr. Justice C. W. Tyso. said Konn's act in walking up and down, some- times with a companion, amounted to more than giving out information. "It was, in my opinion, a means of persuading or endeav- oring to persuade persons not to do some of the things set out." He said if the legislation in- fringes incidentally on the free- dom of speech, it will still be valid because its '"'pith and sub- stance is a matter within the competence of the provincial legislature--property and civil that although the statement | published by Konn was true and Konn's counsel, T.

Mr. Justice Norris said what was done "clearly goes no fur- ther than the conveying of in- formation." ", « . The act of conveying information is perfectly lawful and it is quite conceivable that what was done might have been done for any number of lawful purposes." He said the interpretation placed on the section by the provincial government amounts to "'a restriction of the freedom of the press" and 'destruction rights. of important incidents of Cana- tizenship."

Civil war threatened be- tween pro-Goulart troops and civilians in south Brazil and the rest of the country's armed forces, but the military chiefs gave way after Congress trans- ferred most of the presidential powers to a premier responsible to Congress. Goulart's major function as president will be to pick the pre- mier, who then must be ap- proved by Congress. Driving Charge Clarity Urged HALIFAX (CP)--Police Chief John D. Burger of Sudbury to- day suggested amendments to the sections of the Criminal Code dealing with drunk and impaired driving. In a report by the criminal code amendments committee to the Annual conference of the Canadian Police Chiefs Associ- ation, Chief Burger said the law should provide a yardstick by which the distinction be- tween drunken and impaired driving can be clearly defined. He said this should be the responsibility of the courts and not left to the police. The com- mittee also suggested increased penalties for second offences.
