High-Level Nuclear Talk
Doesn't Interest U.S.
WASHINGTON (I')--The United States indirectly told Russia yesterday it is not in
terested in raising to the foreign minister level a planned meeting to work out a safe
gum ded nuclear weapons test ban.
But the way was left open for such a get-together later, provided some progress
is made at ambassadorial talks scheduled for Oct. 31 at Geneva.
Offa,ally, the State Depart
ment was not commenting en the
Soviet proposal of two days ago
to elevate this matter to the for
eign minister level. The depart
merit said the matter is under
study
But the department disclosed
Se•cretary John Foster Dulles
plans to attend a Nov. 10 meeting
at Seattle, Wash., of the Colombo
Plan nations which cooperate on
economic development in South
east Asia.
The clear implication was that
the answer to the Soviet proposal
was no. The Geneva talks are
certain to continue for some time,
and Dulles obviously could not
GM Plants
Feel Effects
Of Striking
DETROIT (/Pl—Hoping for a
change by Monday, General Mo
tors yesterday approached the
weekend with its massive array
of car-making plants paralyzed
by the backwash of a 12-hour
national strike.
Local disputes kept 126 plants
in 71 U.S. cities shut down de
spite a new three-year master
contract agreed upon Thursday
night by GM and the United Au
to Workers.
The UAW's 250,000 GM em
ployes walked off their jobs
when a strike deadline passed
without an agreement.
Then, when a settlement was
reached, they stayed out with the
blessing of UAW President Wal
ter P. Reuther to back up their
local demands.
GM said it hoped the trickl,
of workers going back to their
jobs would start Monday, put.

facturing concern back in the
race for production and sale of
1959 model cars.
Local meetings of UAW and
GM officials were to continue
coast to coast over the weekend
in efforts to iron out differences
that have piled up since old con
tracts expired four months ago.
To become effective, the na
tional contract must be ratified
by UAW locals by Oct. 20.
Only one GM manufacturing
plant remained in operation a

Reds Celebrate
'57 'Moon Day'
MOSCOW (/P)—The Soviet Un
ion last night celebrated the first
anniversary of the launching of
the first earth satellite.
A special meeting of scientists
was held on the eve of the anni
versary of the flight of Sputnik
I A stream of speeches hailed
what the speakers called the So
viet Union's supremacy over the
rest of the world in conquering
space and promised greater
achievements in the future.
None mentioned American sat

Alexander Nikolayevich Nes
meyanov, president of the- Soviet
Union's Academy of Sciences, de
clared the launching on Oct. 4„
1957 was a step equal in impor
tance to the discovery of fire or
the invention of the steam engine.'
Nesmeyanov said the Sputniks

Missile (ICBM) and an atomic

be in both Geneva and Seattle at
the same time.
Both the United States and
Britain are wary of a flat re
jection of the Soviet proposal. It
would be "bad public relations"
in cold war diplomacy
But officials said a 1.J.5.-British-
Rusian foreign ministers meeting
on a nuclear weapons test ban
would have two big disadvan
tages: It would unduly raise the
world's hopes for an agreement
to halt nuclear tests under ade
quate controls and It would take
the ministers away from other
pressing tasks for four or five
weeks of difficult, complicated
negotiations.
This country and Britain have
offered to suspend weapons tests
Ike Gets Checkup;
Birthday Days Away
WASHINGTON (/P) A jaunty President Dwight D.
Eisenhower, just 11 days from his 68th birthday, went to
Walter Reed Army hospital yesterday for his annual physical
checkup
Eisenhower announced Wednesday that he was going,
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER
Ike Will Take
'Active Part'
In Campaign
WASHINGTON (FP) President
Dwight D. Eisenhower is planning
to take a very. active and very
aggressive part in the political
campaign now warming up.
In fact, Republican National
Chairman Meade Alcorn yester
day told newsmen it is a very
fair conclusion that Eisenhower
is putting more leadership into
this year's campaign than in any
other political effort.
Eisenhower already has sched
uled one Western speaking tour
and the White House has said
other campaign activities are be
ing worked out.
These may include one or more
nationwide radio-television broad
casts between now and the Nov. 4
election.
Eisenhower is scheduled to start
campaigning in earnest week aft
er next.
On Oct. 12 he goes to New York
I City to take part in Columbus Day
ceremonies. On Oct. 14 he will be
guest at a birthday breakfast in
honor of his 68th anniversary at
a Washington hotel.
Then on Friday, Oct. 17, he and
Mrs. Eisenhower leave on a trip
that will take them to Cedar Rap
ids, Iowa; Abilene, Kan.; Denver,
Los Angeles, San Francisco and
Chicago.

for at least one year starting Oct.
31 provided the diplomatic talks
get under way by then and pro
vided that Russia also refrains
from nuclear tests.
The Soviets this week lifted the
suspension they announced last
March 31, setting off at least four
explosions. Moscow said Friday it
ordered the blasts because both
the United States and Britain had
held tests after Russia's March 31
suspension.
The United States and Britain
ignored the new Soviet blasts as
far as the Oct. 31 session is con
cerned. The State Department
said Presi d en t Eisenhower's
pledge to quit testing after Oct.
31 still holds unless Russia keeps
testing after that date.
explaining that he was telling
about it in advance so reporters
wouldn't think he was in a new
health crisis.
The President looked fit to re
porters as he shook hands briskly
with Maj. Gen. Leonard D. Hea
ton, commander of the hospital.
Gen. Heaton was one of those
who operated on the President
June 9, 1956 for ileitis.
Eisenhower and Heaton posed
for pictures at the top of a
flight of steps at Walter Reed.
The President looked out over
the gathering of photographers,
reporters and spectators and
asked generally: "Who told
them we were coming this
way?"
Eisenhower was decked out in
a sporty houndstooth checked
jacket and brown slacks.
The pith was for him to un
dergo a series of tests, and get
in a golf game Saturday after
noon after the doctors are
through with the examination.
Eisenhower was not hospital
ized after his slight stroke, or
blockage of a brain artery, last
November. He visited Walter
Reed for tests last March after
which three specialists pronoun
ced him completely recovered.

Air Attack by
Stirs Island Crisis
TAIPEI (VP) A sudden attack by four Communist MIG
17's on Chinese Nationalist supply planes off Quemoy height
end the danger today of the offshore island war entering a
new deadlier phase.
One Nationalist C-46 cargo plane was heavily damaged
by the swooping Red jets yester
day afternoon but managed to
land on Quemoy, the Defense Min
istry said. Two crewmen were
wounded. •
The MIG attack dampened op
timism about the growing air and
sea supply line to Quemoy.
Success in resupplying the
artillery-blocked island and the
promise of bigger supply efforts
had prompted American offi
cials to predict publicly and
privately yesterday that Que
moy could hold out at the pres
ent level of supply runs, sea
and air.
But these predictions wer el
based on the Reds using only ar
tillery fire against the supply line
and withholding their air force.
MIG attacks against supply planes
and ships could bring renewed
Nationalist demands for Ameri
can approval to bomb newly acti
vated Communist jet bases on the
mainland near Quemoy.
The attack was apparently the
closest Communist jets have
penetrated to Quemoy since the
second day of the offshore war,
Aug. 24, when eight MIGs
strafed the island. Exact loca
tion of the Friday attack was
not given.
The Nationalists have said F-86
Sabres cover supply missions, of
ten aided by U.S. Marine jets.
But yesterday's attack stirred
speculation on the vulnerability
of Quemoy beaches to air attack
from nearby Red bases despite air
cover. It could serve to deepen
tension again in the crisis.
Secrecy Label Removed
On Old Military Papers
WASHINGTON (1P) The
secrecy label was lifted yes
terday from millions of mili
tary papers dating back to
Jan. 1, 1946 and beyond.
This was at the order of Secre
tary of Defense Neil McElroy and
it drew praise from Chairman
John E. Moss (D-Calif.) of a
House subcommittee which has
been working against unneeded
secrecy in government.
Some of the documents which
now may be freely seen deal
with things that happened be
fore America entered World
War I in 1917.
The mass declassification order.
applies to almost all military doc
uments stamped top secret, secret
and confidential before 1946.
It is the culmination of 18
months of work by a group
headed by retired Vice Admiral
John M. Hoskins. Charles E.

De Gaulle
Asks Rebels
To Disarm
CONSTANTINE, Algeria (Y)--
Premier Charles de Gaulle called
on Algerian rebels yesterday to'
lay down their arms. Be prom
ised Algeria's troubled Moslems
more land, more schools, more
jobs.
In a speech before at least 50,-
000 cheering Moslems and French
men, the French Premier pro
posed a new 5-year plan that
calls for a vast outpouring of
French wealth into the revolt
torn North African territory.
But he said clearly there was
going to be no independence
for Algeria. He also told rebel
lious French colonists in Al
geria there would be no inte
gration of Algeria into France
under a system they have long
hoped would preserve their
dominant position there.
No precise words were used to
spell out these stern announce
ments, but De Gaulle demanded
that people stop getting tangled
up in their own words and look
to the realities.
Wilson was secretary of defense
when this attack against un
needed secrecy was started.
There are exemptions from the
order. Items which still must re
main secret include papers giving
details of U.S. and Allied war
plans and information on intelli
gence and counter intelligence.
Also, for reasons of individ
ual privacy, secrecy still must
apply to personnel and medical
records of those who have per
formed military service.
Rep. Moss, in a letter to Secre
tary McElroy, expressed pleasure
at the action "to remove the ob
solete secrecy labels on countless
documents, stored at great ex
pense in government warehouses
out of reach of historians, scien
tists and the public."
