The Soviet government then published in all Moscow newspapers a 5,000 word statement denouncing Chinese opposition to the treaty. ++ +++ In WASHINGTON Senator Kenneth Keating, (R., N.Y.) predicted that the test-ban treaty would be ratified by the Senate with only a “handful of votes” cast against it. +++ + 4 a Another Buddhist priest in VIETNAM burned himself to death as a protest against the religious policies of his government. ++++ +4 Atthe UNITED NATIONS U.S. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson in a speech critical of South African racial policies, announced that the U.S. would stop all sales of ' arms to South Africa.
