Ike Renews Bid for Military Check
DENVER, Oct. 12 (AP)—Pres
ident Eisenhower formally re
newed today a bid to Russia
to help dispel "fear and suspi
cion" by combining both his
own and a Soviet plan for
mutual checking on military in
stallations and movements.
Eisenhower made the offer in a
letter to Soviet Premier Nikolai
A. Bulganin, signed yesterday,
and delivered in Moscow today.
The release of the letter at the
Denver White House capped a
day in which:
1. The President had lunch
with Mrs. Eisenhower and his
brother, Milton. The latter's name
has figured in speculation over
the Republican presidential nom

EXCAVATION STARTS on the new $1.223.595 classroom building
to be built between Osmond Laboratory and the University Hospi
tal. A bulldozer and a dragline shovel yesterday were turning the
first earth. Maple Cottage, which stands on the property, is being
torn down to make way for the new building. When completed,
it will contain 63 classrooms.
Workmen Begin Excavation
For New Classroom Building
Excavation work has been started for the construction of the
$1 million classroom building between Osmond Laboratory and
the University Hospital.
The building, which will temporarily house the School of
Business when completed, will eventually be converted into a gen-
eral classroom building. It is to
cost $1,223,595.
Workmen yesterday had al
most dismantled .Maple Cottage,
which 'stands on the property.
Only the chimney and two walls
have yet to be torn down. A bull
dozer and a dragline shovel have
started the earthmoving job.
The building will have 63 class
rooms. Its over-all structure will
resemble a block letter C, with
the open end toward Osmond.
The plans for the building in
clude an innovation in movie pro
jection rooms.. In certain class
rooms, two adjoining rooms will
be divided by a movie projection
room. A projector on swivels will

Hagerty said the luncheon was
strictly a family get-together and
"no politics at all" figured in the
chatting.
2. The chief executive set up a
Saturday business conference
with Secretary of the Treasury
George M. Humphrey.
3. Doctors continued to report
satisfactory progress in the condi
tion of the President, recuperat
ing from a heart attack at Fitz
simons Army Hospital.
Eisenhower's letter to Bulganin
was in partial reply to one from
the Russian Premier on Sept. 18
that used conciliatory terms but
still dashed cold water on the
chief executive's proposal that
Russia and the United States
trade military blueprints and per
mit mutual aerial inspection of
military establishments.

building. The room will house an
audience to witness the lecture.
The talk also will be televised to
students in other parts of the
building.
The leg of the building connect

four stories high. The one end
will house an auditorium on each
floor. Each auditorium will hold
126 students and will be equipped
for movie projection.
The end of the C facing Pol
lock road will be three stories
high and will contain offices for
more than 110 faculty members.
Twenty-one classrooms will be
painted with murals, one for each
nation in the Western hemi
sphere. They will be decorated

idea of creating "control posts"
at large ports and railway junc
tions and on highways and air
fields to "prevent dangerous con
centrations of troops and combat
equipment" and "remove the pos
sibility of sudden attack."
The proposal of both chief's of
state were set forth at the Big
Four "summit" conference in
Geneva.
And Eisenhower told a news
conference in Washington Aug. 4
that speaking inrormally at Gen
eva, he had said that if the Rus
sians trusted the Bulganin kind of
inspection system, "It was all
right with us; we would adopt
both. And I proposed, I said, let's
take them both."
The President put this idea into
a formal diplomatic note today.
He said he was encouraged Bul
