Arms talks to broaden
By FRANK SWOBODA WASHINGTON (UPI)— President Johnson was expected to announce agreement with the Soviet Union on new steps toward arms control today at the signing of a treaty to prevent further spread of nuclear weapons. The White House signing ceremony was scheduled for 11:30 a.m., EOT and was to be carried nationally on television and radio. The ceremony gave the President an ideal setting to reply to Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko’s statement last week that the Kremlin was willing to discuss de-escalation of the weapons race. Assigned to sign the treaty on behalf of the United States were Secretary of State Dean Rusk and William C. Foster, director
of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. In Moscow today Soviet Premier ALexei N. Kosygin announced that he had asked all nations to make sweeping cutbacks in the arms race, including a reduction of nuclear weapons. During the Moscow counterpart to the treaty signing ceremony in Washington, Kosygin said his government had “sent to all governments a memorandum on certain measures to halt the arms race, including the prohibition of the use of nuclear weapons, an end to the production of nuclear weapons, a reduction in nuclear stockpiles and restrictions on the means of delivery. A third signing ceremony was scheduled in London today. The State department said
about 50 nations were expected to endorse the pact, which would bar nations which have nuclear weaporis from providing them to those which do not. That pact recommends controls be imposed _ through the International Atomic Energy Agency of the United Nations. Details still are to be worked out. Johnson indicated during a dam dedication in Nashville, Tenn., Saturday that during today’s ceremony he would speak “to the nation and the world” on the subject of disarmament. Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, questioned Sunday about the President’s “important announcement,” said “I think the world will find that a very substantial breakthrough has been made.”

One of those British enterprises that picks mates for lonely hearts via computers, ran into a spot of hard luck the other day when a chap named Davis sought a girl friend. He paid the fee demanded, and the machine whirred through a file of some 30,000 possibilities, finally settling on a bonnie lass named Barbara. A date involving Mr. Davis and Barbara was arranged, and the pair met in a designated hotel lobby. One look was enough to convince both of them that a slight mistake had been made by the computer. Mr. Davis and Barbara had been married to each other for six years and divorced just three months previous. The grounds: utter incompatibility.

Way to peace mighty close—HHH
By United Press International Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey says the United States is “mighty close” to finding the way to peace in Vietnam despite Communist efforts to use the Paris talks for propaganda and the current Red offensive in South Vietnam. “We’re mighty close to finding our way, as I see it,” Humphrey said on a Sunday television program (Opinion: Washington— Metromedia). “I believe with patience, perseverance, tenacity, that we can find that peaceful settlement,” the vice president said. He urged American negotiatore in Paris to be steadfast because the North Vietnamese are using their present offensive to “break our will.” “There is no doubt that Hanoi is using the talks, in part, as a propaganda mechanism,” he said, but “let’s not be propagan-
dized away from the conference table; let’s not be baited into a massive escalation in this war ...” Humphrey made the statements as a key New York supporter—a former Johnson administration official— suggest, ed that the vice president and President Johnson have differed on the conduct of the war. At the same time, a top administration official sharply criticized Humphrey’s opponent for the Democratic presidential .omination—Eugene J. Mev arthy—for his plan to go to Paris to observe the talks. Eugene P. Foley, former small business administrator under Johnson, said in New York of possible Johnson. Humphrey differences on the conduct of the war: “I believe it’s pretty well known that Vice President Humphrey and George Ball. . . were more or

less allies in counseling against certain activities and certain policies connected with the Vietnam War.” Declining to be more specific, he said “These are matters that really can’t openly be discussed at this time.” It was Ball, the U.N. ambassador, who criticized McCarthy Sunday. “I can’t believe he takes this seriously,” Ball said of the Minnesota senator's plan to “look in on” the negotiations. Ball added that such “interference . . . would be mischievous” and said he hoped McCarthy would reconsider. In other developments: Delegates— A UPI tabulation of convention delegates showed that Richard M. Nixon has, on paper, enough votes to win the Republican presidential nomination. The tabulation showed him with 691 committed and leaning votes with 667 needed to win. Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller had 278 and Gov. Ronald Reagan had 158. Humphrey picked up 126 more votes at weekend Democratic conventions in Missouri, Oklahoma, North Dakota and New Mexico to raise his total to 1,054, with 1,312 needed to nominate. McCarthy was credited with 385 7-10. Rockefeller— The New York governor Sunday urged states to form community service programs to encourage private initiative in the social services. He stressed such community support would aim especially at city ghetto areas. George C. Wallace—The former Alabama governor called Washington, D.C., -“almost the hypocrite capital of the world,” criticizing especlaUy lawmakers who attack Alabama’s school system but refuse to send their own children to public schools in the capital. Endorsements — Sen. John Tower, R-Tex., Sunday told
members of the Texas delegation to the GOP convention he planned to endorse Nixon. Humphrey picked up an endorsement from former Sen. Paul Douglas of Illinois.
Poor regroup
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Poor People’s Campaign tried today to bolster its ebbing support among middle-class whites. Leaders of the Southern Christian Leadership Confer, ence (SCLC) called a news conference to announce formation of a broadly based “national poor people’s coalition.” The conference was scheduled for 10 a.m. EDT. The coalition was expected to try to mount local antipoverty demonstrations in various cities. But it also was clear SCLC leaders hope it will serve as a focal point for regaining the middle class support the cam. paign attracted earlier. The Rev. Andrew M. Young Jr., who took over command of the campaign after the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy was arrested, said Sunday the antipoverty campaign was popular with middle-class whites in its opening weeks. But then, he told a group of people who earlier marched at Capitol Hill, newspaper editor, ials urged the marchers to go home and demanded that the nation’s capital “get back to business as usual.” “That's where the fight starts,” Young said at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. “We admit as middle-class people that poverty is not a problem of the poor, but that poverty is a problem of the nation.” SCLC leaders said the new coalition would represent all the ethnic and poor people’s groups which have supported the campaign.
