This became evident today as more and more senators indicated they were keeping an open mind on the agreement reached in Moscow by the United States, Britian and Russia.

Many senators said privately they were waiting to test the sentiment among voters back home. As a result, ratification of the treaty by the required two-thirds vote shaped up as no sure thing despite optimistic predictions of its ardent backers. One veteran senator noted that it is hard to get two-thirds support for anything in the Senate. Under Secretary of State W.

The detail was in charge of Detective Sergeant Jasper Augustine and the raid was a prearranged one working out of the Washington State Pol.

ice headquarters, Murtland Washington. More than six business establishments in Canonsburg had machines confiscated and money pickup, along with additional gambling mate rial. The contraband was I a ed onto trucks and hauled away. The surprise raid took the of the gaming devic-ices by storm and the action was planned to hit the establishments all at one time. This prearranged action on part of the State Police gave the business proprietors no time to hide the evidence or have it lifted from the EGYPTIAN JETLINER MISSING, 60 ABOARD Hope of finding survivors has been abandoned by searchers for an Egyptian jetliner with 60 persons aboard missing on a flight from Tokyo to Cairo.

Eugene Durso Named Medical Examiners Six Companies Reach Terms In Milk Strike PITTSBURGH (UPD The milk strike affecting two million persons in 10 Western Pennsylvania counties began to disintegrate today when the leader of the Teamsters Union announced contract agreements with six of the 59 dairies involved. Harry Tcvis, president of Teamsters Local 205 which represents 3,000 dairy workers, said he expected at least 10 firms to be in the fold before the day was out. Tevis, however, refused to predict the end of the strike, point ing out that the nrms which reached agreement were small dairies. But he said "at least one large ice cream company will probably sign a contract today." The union leader declined to reveal terms of the settlements, reached individually, but he said the contract patterned the final offer the union made to the firms Sunday night a few hours before the strike was called early Monday. "Two of the firms signed Monday night," Tevis said, and four others signed earlier in the day.

He identified two of the firms as the Keystone Dairy of New Kensington and Better Dairies- Indiana Dairy, of Kittan-ning. Two of the other firms, Tevis said, signed in Beaver Valley. He said he did not want to identify all the firms which signed until they actually began operations. "It's still touch and go," the union leader said, referring to negotiations with the remaining firms. But he admitted the prospects for a quick settlement were brighter.

The last milk strike here in 1950 lasted 20 days. Tevis said negotiations were scheduled today with the Greater (Continued on Page Eight) They won general praise for, their performance and the announced support of two of the committee chairmen. But more than half of the senators interviewed later by newsmen said their minds wore not yet made up. Chairman J. William Fulbright, of the Foreign Relations Committee and Sen.

John O. Pas-tore, of the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee said they intended to support the treaty in its present form. But Chairman Richard B. Rus sell, of the Armed Serv ices Committee was noncommit tal. The preparedness subcommittee of Russell's group will resume hearings Thursday on the mili tary aspects of the treaty, with the heads of two major U.S.

Bradburv. director of the Los Alamos, N.M., Scientific Labora tory. "These respected scientists will be the first of a number ot scientific and technical witnesses which we will hear in the next few weeks," Stennis said. One question troubling many senators, notably Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen, is the pact's "ve'to" provision, which forbids any amendment to the treaty except by unanimous agreement of the three original signers.

Another is the exact meaning of its "withdrawal clause," which would allow' any member nation to pull out of the agreement in case of a violation. A third point is the possible restriction on use of nuclear blasts for purely peacetime uses, such as excavation for construction. Relief Pours Into Stricken City From All Over World SKOPJE, Yugoslavia (UPD Disaster relief poured into devastated Skopje from all over the world today but the once-bustling city was gripped by the fear of a new threat disease. Rescue workers searched with growing urgency in the rubble left by one of the worst earthquakes in the country's history. Official sources said the heat, disruption of water supplies and the possibility that hundreds of bodies might still be hidden under mountainous debris spurred fears of possible contamination.

Aleksandar Grlitkov, president of the Macedonia Executive Council, said Monday that 813 bodies had been recovered by Sunday night. But he warned that as many as 700 more might remain. Officials feared the final toll from the earthquake, which struck with deadly suddenness early Friday, might pass 1,500 dead with many thousands more injured. Rescue workers hoped to save any injured still trapped in the ruins of the city, but the chances dwindled with every passing hour. A French army rescue team equipped with special detection apparatus reported Monday night that they heard no more voices from under the rubble.

A U.S. Embassy spokesman in Belgrade said that officials were checking reports that the body of a U.S. Air Force sergeant and his (Continued on Page Eight) Appointed at a recent meeting to replace certain vacant Fort Pitt directorships were Frank E. Rath, J. Robert Brown, Frank J.

Lawmakers Vote May Be Counted In Free Bus Issue HARIBSURG UPI) The state Senate today has before it a proposal for free bus transportation for parochial school students on which the lawmakers may have to stand up and be counted. The House of Representatives voted 118-84 late Monday night to tack the proposal to a minor Sen ate-enacted bill a move which will place it immediately on the Senate calendar where the chamber will have to vote either to agree to the House rider or to non-concur in the move. The House action came after Republican legislative leaders reaffirmed their determination to wind up the regular 1963 General Assembly session Wednesday.

Restriction in Bill The rider would allow school districts with state subsidiezed transportation systems to offer rides to parochial school students. The only restrictions are that they would have to be picked up on the established bus routes with no change in direction or distance and the transportation would have to be within the boundaries of the school district. The move enabled the House to by-pass the Education Committees of both the House and Senate which have shown iron opposition to the proposal. The Senate Education Committee gutted another bill to the point where it simply provided for a statewide referendum on the subject at the November elections. Senate supporters of extended school bus transportation helped defeat the referendum proposal.

Moves to Floor But the House Judiciary Com mittee reported to the floor Monday a Senate-approved proposed amendment to the state Constitution to clear up the question of the constitutionality of using public funds for transportation of parochial school children. This could not go to the voters for a referendum before 1965. The entire issue has been enveloped in bitter controversy for the last month of the legislative session. The administration, which supports the proposal, reported receiving 15,000 pieces of mail on the subject with an equal amount going to the Senate Education (Continued on Page Eight) Hospital News Admissions July 29 June Chambers, Olive Higgins, Dorothy Caffrey, Ann Salamon, Diana Leichty, Debbie Tatano, Thomas Elliott, William J.

Director Hossein Khatibi of the Iranian Red Lion and Sun Society said aid had been sent to the village but reports of a disaster there were not true. "It was not serious," he said. "Reports were evidently exaggerated." Gagum, a mud hut village, is near Bandar Abbas, a city off the Persian Gulf that was Iran's major trading port with the West during the reign of Shah Abbas I in the 17th century. Aid was immediately dispatched to the area by the government and the Red Lion and Sun Society, the Persian equivalent of th Red Cross. The Gagum tremor came after a sm'es of earth disturbances swept across the Mediterranean ai i eastward.

Deadlock In New Efforts To End Rail Dispute WASHINGTON (UPI) Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz was reported stalled today in his latest efforts to settle the four-year-old railroad dispute.

Wirtz found in weekend meetings with union and management negotiators that they not only were in no mood to make concessions but that some of their attitudes had stiffened, an informed source said. The labor secretary, under pressure from Conrress to get a negotiated settlement, may report the continuing deadlock to the House and Senate this week unless there is a change in the bargaining outlook.

Charles Luna, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, ruled out the possibility of pny voluntary settlement within the next month in testimony before the Senate group Monday night. Luna said that "even if we agreed on all 82 work rules tonight, it would be impossible to write it up in 30 days." He said it would take "at least 90 days" to settle all issues if both parties worked diligently.

Charles C.

Steele, chief U.S. negotiator, said on arrival Monday he was looking forward to a "useful and constructive session." Western officials were reported hopeful that the test ban agreement initialed in Moscow would lead the way for settlements of other cold war issues. But the delegates were not certain just where to begin. The different approaches included: Expects Non-Aggression Try An expected attempt by Soviet delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin to press for a non-aggression pact between the NATO and Warsaw treaty alliances, and to urge creation of nuclear free zones in Africa, South America, and pos- sibly Central Europe A bid by the eight neutral na tions to extend the new test ban, which covers only explosions in the atmosphere, outer space, and under water, to include under ground tests.

A Western move to investi gate the two issues on which it is felt the Soviets are ready to talk seriously the prevention of surprise attack and the reduction of missile stockpiles. western negotiators were understood to be wary of taking up issues that could only lead to new deadlocks and create new suspi cions on both sides.

The officials interpreted De Gaulle's remarks at his first news conference in six months Monday as an indication he seeks talks with the United States to bring France's relations with Washington out of their long freeze. De Gaulle made no effort to hide France's disagreements with some aspects of U.S.

policy. But the differences were far narrower than those that came out in his last press conference Jan. 14. At that time, he vetoed Britain's bid for Common Market membership and rejected Kennedy's offer of Polaris nuclear missiles. Monday, De.

Gaulle rejected the nuclear test ban agreement concluded by the United States, Britain and Russia, and said of Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's plans for a non-aggression pact: "France does not appreciate assimilation of the Atlantic alliance and Communist slavery." But he went out of his way to emphasize that, despite obvious disagreements, relations between the United States and France are based on "friendship and alliance."
