The quick switch was too much for some of the 28,000 spectators at Wimbledon's first open tennis tournament. One casualty was an Englishman who lives in the central African Sudan. "If this heat continues, I'm going back there," he said in the cool of the first-aid tent. In Pontypridd, Wales, fist-size hailstones smashed windows and car windshields.

A freak downpour caused severe flooding at the Welsh village of Aber-fan, where 116 children and 28 adults were buried alive when torrential rain caused a coal-waste heap to slide in 1966. The heat jammed the apparatus used to raise and lower the Tower Bridge on the River Thames. The bridge remained raised and caused huge traffic snarl-ups on each side. Earlier, the sands of the Saha ra descended on London and southern England leaving millions of cars and houses coated in reddish dust. The London Weather Office said the dust had been drawn up by a small tornado over the Sahara and swept it across at a high altitude to Britain.

When the dust reached England it combined with rain in a freak tropic-like downpour to produce a mud storm. Paris, Rome, Berlin, Amsterdam and Brussels were all reported sweltering with temperatures in the high 80s or low 90s.

(AP Photofax) Kosygin Says Russians Ready To Ban Underground Testing Wfi WASHINGTON (AP) President Johnson announced Mon day that the United States and the Soviet Union have agreed to start talks "in the nearest future" on curbing the costly missile-antimissile race between the two atomic superpowers.

Johnson reported on the long-awaited U.S.-Soviet talks during a historic signing at the White House of the Nonproliferation Treaty, a pact aimed at outlawing the spread of nuclear weapons. A total of 57 nations signed the treaty at the nationally televised ceremony in the East Room of the presidential mansion. In parallel ceremonies at Moscow 35 nations signed while at London, the capital of the third treaty-sponsoring power, 23 joined. Duplications held the opening day total to a figure of 60 plus but Johnson predicted that in nisi Treaty Missoula, Montana, the months ahead virtually all of the world's nations would join. The treaty comes into force upon ratification by 40 non-nuclear states plus the three atomic power sponsors.

Johnson plans to send the pact to the Senate promptly in hopes of winning U.S. ratification by the end of July. Among the nonsigners, West Germany cited what a government spokesman called "massive Soviet political pressure" against Bonn. Chief government spokesman Guenter Diehl held out no hope for early West German signature, but he recalled that Bonn voluntarily renounced in 1954 the production and acquisition of nuclear and other mass-destruction devices. The treaty, under which the nuclear powers pledge not to supply atomic weapons to non-nuclear states and the non-nu- charge of municipal pools, said Monday a city health regulation requires all girls to wear caps no matter what the length of their hair, and some of them, admittedly, wear it shorter than many boys.

airliner bound for Vietnam was forced to land on a Soviet island late Sunday. Moscow gave no assurances Monday of an early release for the aircraft and its 231 passengers. The Seaboard-World Airlines charter was taking 214 soldiers and sailors to Vietnam when it was intercepted by Soviet MIG fighter planes and forced to land on Interup Island in the Pacific Kurile chain. The Pentagon said the DC8 PILOT of downed plane is Capt. Joseph D.

Tosolini of Bethany, Conn. He was forced to land in the Russian Kuriles with 230 passengers. For Tuesday, July 2, 1968 clear countries pledge not to acquire them, was billed by Johnson and by British Prime Minister Harold Wilson as the most important disarmament accord since the dawn of the nuclear age. The previous landmark was the 1963 nuclear test-ban treaty in which more than 100 countries joined to bar nuclear testing in the atmosphere. The missile reduction proposal is more of a two-power affair since only the United States and the Soviet Union now own big stockpiles of long-range atomic rockets.

Have-not nations that promise to stay that way under the non-proliferation treaty have pressed the Big Two to do some disarming too. France and Red China are not expected to sign. Both are developing their own atomic arsenals. To those countries that fear a nuclear threat from non-treaty states, Johnson repeated the earlier U.S. pledge of readiness to move quickly in defense of treaty states threatened by nuclear aggression.

The Soviet Un: ion and Britain joined this country in such a pledge June 17. Senate leaders disagreed on whether funds for starting the Sentinel antiballistic missile system should now be withheld in view of the approaching U.S.-Soviet talks. Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana said he hopes the $227-million authorization will be cut from the budget. But Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen of Illinois said the money should be provided as planned.

Whether the U.S.-Soviet talks would lead to still another treaty is not clear, but Johnson noted in his brief address Jhat he had proposed missile-curb discussions to former Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev in January 1964 in response to a letter from Khrushchev the previous month. Washington began prodding the Soviets again on the issue a year and a half ago amid the developing race in expensive antimissile defense systems. Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko finally announced last Thursday that the Kremlin is ready for such talks.

Kosygin called Monday for negotiations toward total nuclear disarmament, an old Russian proposal, then underscored this with a statement of readiness to ban underground tests, last trial area for the explosion of atomic arms. Speaking at the signing ceremony of the U.S.-Soviet backed treaty to check the spread of nuclear weapons, Kosygin disclosed that Moscow has issued a nine-point memorandum urging international talks to end nuclear weapons manufacture and the reduction of nuclear stockpiles.

Kosygin also proposed discussions on the "limitation and subsequent reduction of means of delivery of strategic weapons." meaning missiles. This coincided with an announcement by President Johnson at the Washington version of the treaty-signing ceremony that the United States and Soviet Union would start missile talks "in the nearest future." Tass, the Soviet news agency, distributed a similar statement: "An understanding has been reached between the govern plane apparently strayed off course en route from Seattle. to Yokota, Japan, and flew into Soviet air space. It had a scheduled refueling stop at Yokota. Washington at once pressed for release of the plane and the men, acting through the ambassador to Moscow.

But at a mid-afternoon news briefing a State Department spokesman said Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin told Thompson only that the case is under investigation and gave no assurances the aircraft would be freed soon. Robert J. McCloskey added "We continue to be in touch with the Soviet government and hope that the plane and its crew will be returned Beyond saying that the plane was undamaged and its occupants uninjured, McCloskey offered no details on the incident.

While officials here doubt that Moscow would risk a major incident by keeping the plane and its occupants, they that it offers a touchy issue for the Kremlin since the transport was bearing troops to fight against a Soviet ally in Vietnam.

soil from Havana Monday, leaving behind a gun-wielding hijacker and the plane's pilot who was jailed for defecting from Cuba in 1960. Passengers identified the hijacker as a well-dressed, polite Negro who was listed on the flight manifest as E.H. Carter. Federal Bureau of Investigation agents declined immediately to identify the hijacker officially. After spending two days in Cuban hotels, the Americans were flown to Key West, their original destination, aboard the same DC3 that was diverted to Havana at gunpoint Saturday.

The plane's pilot, George Prellezo, 37, a naturalized PiSffitt it American citizen with a wife and five children in Miami, was held in a Cuban cell for trial, according to a U.S. State Department announcement in Washington. The State Department also said Prellezo's wife could have her passport validated for a trip to Cuba if she asked. "There is no question that it will be granted," said press officer Robert J. McCloskey.

In Miami, Henry Taylor. State Department coordinator for Cuban affairs, said, "The wife wanted to go down but we told her no, it was impossible."
