HOPE'LESS DIVISION FEARED
Test Ban Talks Teetering Close To Total Collapse
By TOM OCHILTREE
GENEVA t’APi——Thc nuclear lest ban negotiations tectered dislicarteningly today on the hrmk of failure after 4"2 years at intense diplomatic effort.
The and Russia each cniiie tip with concessions but they remain hopelessly divided on the basic problem of on site inspections of suspicious earth ti'rmors.
\l’hilc nothing in diplomacy can be regarded as irreversible. it is difficult to see how a treaty halting nuclear tests now can be drafted which will be accept- alilc both to the United States and the Soviet Union.
ironically. this prospect came to light at the moment when it scr‘mt‘d succch was in sight.
The Soviet Uni-on finally ac- cepted the principle of on-site Inspection but then limited such cliccks to two or three a year on Russian soil. Informants said Ili.i| figure is too smell even to ho accepted by the Kennedy ad- miiistration or the US. Senate.

jSKUNK BATTLE GASSES AREA
DULUTH. Minn. tAP)—»The Harley Davidsons and a fam- ily of skunks have become entangled in gas warfare on
. It's a
Dulutb's west end standoff
1 Davidson has killed six baby skunks with carbon mon- oxide. Neighbors claim the skunks have gassed a four-
block area.
Davidson detected an unfa- miliar odor in his garage last May. thn cold weather ‘ act in the smell became tin- bearable.
The Davidsons discovered the trouble one night when they saw a mother skunk and six offspring leaving a hole under the garage.
Davidson drilled a hole in the garage floor attached a hose to his car's exhaust and i retaliated. Then he tore up the floor and removed six small ca rc asses. Victory sccmed in sight.
But during the weekend. he discovered mama skunk still alive in thc garage».-and fight- ing mad.
