(AP) -J- for a five-yea- r agreement to halt nuclear testing for all purposes, including peaceful development. He also proposed a World Energy Conference, sponsored by the United Nations and patterned after meetings on food supply and population. The former Georgia governor, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, spoke at a conference on nuclear energy and world order. The conference is not an official U.N. function. Nuclear energy must be at the very top of the list of global challenges that call for new forms of international action, he said, while repeating his position that "U.S. dependence on nuclear power should be kept to the minimum necessary to meet our called U.S.-Sovi- m Today in the News Q needs." Carter called for a worldwide, voluntary moratorium on the purchase and sale of nuclear fuel enrichment and reprocessing plants because highly enriched uranium can be used to and because produce weapons plutonium, when separated from the remainder of the spent fuel, can also be used to produce nuclear weapons. He proposed centralized multinational enrichment facilities and said that the first U.S. reprocessing plant, which is now nearing completion in Barnwell, S.C., could become the first multinational reprocessing facility under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Discussing nuclear weapons, Carter said a U.S. Soviet agreement reached in April and awaiting President Fords signature is a wholly inadequate step beyond the limited test ban." The treaty would ban nuclear explosions above 150 kilotons. The longer effective arms reduction is postponed, he said, the more likely it is that other nations will be encouraged to develop their own nuc- lear capability. There is one step that can be taken at once. The United States and the Soviet Union should conclude an agreement prohibiting all nuclear explosions for a period of five years, whether they be weapons tests or peaceful nuclear explosions, and encourage all other countries to join."

WASHINGTON (AP) The White House denies that President Ford is holding off signing a nuclear test ban treaty with Russia because of fears it would imperil his chances in next Tuesdays Michigan primary. Administration sources said Wedceremony tennesday a treaty-signintatively set for Thursday was postponed for political reasons. It just wouldn't look right to have a picture of President Ford signing a document limiting nuclear testing just before that vote. one source said. But White House press secretary Ron Ncsscn said Wednesday night the delay has nothing to do with the Michigan primary or politics. Nessen, flying back to Washington aboard Air Force One after Ford spent the day campaigning in Michigan, said the White House needed more time to study the documents limiting peaceful nuclear explosions, and to compare translations to be used at the signing ceremony. Nessen noted that it is a foregone conclusion the President will sign the treaty, which U.S. and Soviet negotiators reached in Moscow April 9. Its provisions, limiting tests to 150 kilotons, were made public then. Ronald Reagan.

Smith arrived at the auditorium clutching some of his a Winnie the Pooh doll, an attache prized belongings case and a black purse in which he keeps letters, cards and momcntos. "These go everywhere with him," a nurse explained. He sat with quiet dignity in the front row as school Supt. Homer Addair read the telegram from Ford. It said: "This recognition reflects the affection and respect in which you are held by your fellow Floridians, and it smboii.es this nations continuing dedication and concern for its older citizens." Smith was born in 1S42 in what now is Liberia. He was kidnaped by davo traders and put on the auction block in Louisiana when he was 12. A Texas rancher took him in, gave him his name and set his birthday as July 4.
