BERLIN (APD - A Soviet Em- bauy explanation failed Monday to check a growing crop of rum- ors that Premier Nikolai H. Bul plants is about to be pushed aside in a continuing Kremlin power struggle.

The embassy spokesman in Communist ruled East Berlin in- dicated Bulganin is being left out of a Soviet delegation to East Germany this week because the visit is concerned principally with economic questions.

NOT POWERFUL

..Bulganln has not been a power- ful figure in the Kremlin. He has been more of a front man for the Communist party.

Indications of a rift betwen him and Khrushchev were noted after the June purge of Gourd Malenkov. Laser Kaganovich and V. M. Molotov. who were ousted from the Kremlin I "anti-party" slsmsuts.

sortie versions of the struggle inside the ruling Prnsaldium pit.- tured Bulganin as siding origin- ally with Kbrushchev's oppon- ents. and than switching in time to save his own position. at land temporarily.

Evidently the Communist le- gime in East Berlin had expected Bulganin to be along for the week long tour of satellite East Ger- many. Advance propaganda in the East German press showed clearly the regime had been caught by surprise in the switch.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. (AP) - Buprsaentatives at most of the world's Protestant. Orthodox and Aaaiisaa eku-ehss Monday Ilrgod governments to halt nuclear bomb tests as a trial bid for peace.

Nations should take the step alone if necessary. the Christin leaders said. to try to break up the atomic arms race.

in a major. long-deliberated ac- tion. the World Council of Churches said a suspension ol tests by any government conduct- ing them could pave the way for international agreements banning the bomb.

such mass-destruction weapons "inevitably involve spiritual deg- rodatloa tor any nation that uses them." and their continued pro- duction raiass parallel moral is- suss. the statement said.

it added that treaties prohibit- ing such weapons and providing for international safeguards were the objective. but such a program ”mnst proceed by stages."

"We urge that as a first step governments condut.ing' tests should forgo them. at least for a trial period. either together or in- dividually. in the hope that tlm others will do the same. a new confidence be born. and founde- tions laid for roliable agree- meats."

Council officers were authorised

to present the recommendation to the governments concerned. This. would include Russia, the United' states and Britain. the only three carrying on atomic tests. . .Ths was i , d the council's policy- ” cen- tral committes without a nega- tive vote. Several. however, ab- stained. Numeroua delegates rose to praise the action.

called the document an "extrem- ely powerful and important state- ment oi Christianity."

Metropolitan Jnnaooa. or the Liar Tlboma Syrian Church is in- die. said a cessation of bomb teat- lng by any major power would show Easterns that that country stands for lrighteousness and jun- tice" and not "hydrogen war- km"

The counclis' action came in the midst of five-power disarmament talks in London.

Rev. Dr. 0. Fredrick Nolde of Philadelphia. director of the Com- mission of the Churches on inter- national Affairs. said a halt in bomb-testing could provide "a lever" to w s r d "solid agree merits."

Dr. Nolde. who serves as the council's roving diplomat in gov- ernment circlea. :

"Such a move is seen only as

a stepping stone toward the reli- N

able agreements necesaa y if peace is to be safeguarded.

CAPTURE MINDS

"it would also dramatically cap- ture the minds of people around the world and convince them that the union taking the step is cour- ageously and fully dedicated to peace."

Rev. Alan Walker. a Methodist of Australia. urged the church body to call for a yurmanent halt to bomb teats-not just a trial ef- fort-but without avail.

"This message speaks with too quiet a voice." he said. "it speaks too softly to carry to the ears of government or to the conscience

The imam. thelsadsrsfthe Oman Rebels, Monday appealed to Russia and the United Statu to stop the fighting between the rebels and the sultsn's forc.

The appeal came as the Brit- ish - supported sultan of Muscat and Oman proposed to mount a counter-attack on the rebels with the aid of British troos.

The appeal. handed over to the American and Russian embassies here, asked the two countries to help in "putting an end to the aggressive acts of the British forces against the people at Oman."

At the same time, the nine-na- tion Arab League called on Amy Asian nations - including Com- munist China - to intervene against Britain.

(As the appeals were made. re- ports from Oman said British forces were concentrating at lbrl to support an expected attack by the sultan's forces on the rebel headqua ma - the big fort at Nizwn.)

The appeal to Russia and the United States was signed by Prince Sal ibn lssa el llarty, day uty to the Imam. El Barb has been acting as spokesman for the imam in Cairo since the revolt started.
