President Kennedy plans a nationwide radio and television address to rally support for the treaty ending tests in space air and underwater. The accord, to be signed in Moscow by the United States Britain and the Soviet Union, must receive Senate ratification by a two thirds vote with strong public backing viewed as crucial for passage.

Test Ban Treaty Bars Air Sea and Space Tests
The accord binds the three powers to prohibit nuclear tests in the atmosphere space and underwater and any environment where fallout crosses borders. Underground tests are not banned but must avoid spreading radioactive debris. On site inspections are not required, a point of contention with past talks. The pact seeks a treaty to permanently ban all such explosions, including underground tests.

ICC Set To Go On Rail Dispute
The Interstate Commerce Commission chief pledged to Congress that the agency would take the heavy responsibility of the rail work rules dispute amid a threat of a nationwide strike delayed for 30 days. President Kennedy urged legislation to shift the dispute to the ICC for two years, with railroad unions criticizing the plan while management supports it with revisions. The Senate hearing heard AFL CIO leaders denounce Kennedy’s proposal as inadequate, and lawmakers proposed barring featherbedding and forcing lines to aid workers displaced by the rule changes. The plan would affect about 69,000 jobs across 32,000 rail-fired positions, a claim criticized as passing the buck ahead of the 1964 election.
