Ike Shrugs At
Khrushchev Visit
WASHINGTON ((P)—President Dwight D. Eisenhower
shrugged a somewhat cold shoulder yesterday toward the
idea of a visit to the United States by Premier Nikita Khrush
chev of the Soviet Union.
Eisenhower ducked replying directly to a news conference
,question whether Khrushchev
would be officially welcome if he
expressed a desire to come to this
country,
"You people love to ask 'if'
questions, don't you?" Eisenhow
er countered with a grin. "I think
that you ought to wait until we
hear something about it and then
see what the situation is."
There were indications that
perhaps some people haven't
been doing their diplomatic
homework.
A number of high administra
tion officials have swung around
to the view that the President
may have to agree to a visit, ei
ther informal or official or a com
bination of the two. Khrushchev
has made it plain he is eager to
visit this country.
Eisenhower was asked wheth
er he would look favorably on
Khrushchev's opening a Soviet
exhibit • in.;.New York June 30
since Vice President Richard M.
Nixon will open a U.S. exposi
tion in Moscow July 25.
There has been nothing official
i.vhat , wer regarding a summit
meet.,ig in the United States, he,
said. The word from Geneva,'
lhowever, was that San Francisco
leads the list of cities under 'con
sideration for a summit confer
ence.
Budget Issues
Face President
On Home Front
WASHINGTON IW) Presiden
Eisenhower yesterday prodded
Congress at a press conferencil
and again in a special message, tc,
get busy on what he called "very]
badly needed legislation."
He asked Congress to boost th
federal gasoline tax 1 1 , 4 z cents
gallon to keep the vast highway
construction program going, giv
the Federal Housing Administra
tion authority to insure an adds
tional $6 billion of home mort
gages and attack the problem o
a $34 billion wheat surplus.
And Eisenhower jumped at
chance to put in another plea fot
a balanced budget. In fact, hr
said, that is "the minimum targe
we are looking for." In times a
prosperous as these, he said, "we
ought to be getting some surpluses
we ought to be paying off some
thing on our debt."
Interest 0.1 the debt is costin€
more than $8 billion this year
Eisenhower said, and that is "al
most unconscionable." He empha
sued the second word so strongly
it took three tries for him to ge
it out.

Speaking of Soviets in another
connection, Eisenhower said "it is
very difficult to see behind some
one else's forehead" but that the
Soviets seem to be trying to use
the Big Four foreign ministers
talks at Genneva as a propaganda
platform.

hazardous magnetic storms be

An electrical charge of four
billion watts was used to trigger
the man-made shock waves by
Avco Corp., research scientists.
The superspeed waves were an
outgrowth of research in testing

Avco has major responsibility
for solving the re-entry heating

Labor Bills
Attacked
By Lewis
WASHINGTON (/1 3 )— John, l
Lewis thundered yesterday
that labor control bills before
Congress would "fasten a
cast-iron chastity belt around
the waists" of American work I
ers.
The 79-year-old United Mine
Workers chief told a House La-n
bor subcommittee all these pro
posals to curb union corruption'
would reduce workers to second
class citizens. He said there are
plenty of laws already in effect
to handle corruption.
Lewis dismissed the abuses spot
lighted in Senate rackets hearings
as isolated cases, and involving
only "the dregs of the lab or
movement "
He likened the special Senat
committee, headed by Sen. John
L. McClellan (D-Ark), to "the
Star Chamber under the Tudor
kings, with a touch of the Span
ish Inquisition."
Lewis showed his old fighting
style, delivering his arguments
with a barbed thrust that made
the committee members wary in
their questioning.
At one point, he was asked
why Teamsters Union members
elect James ft.'Hof fa to office.
Staring meaningfully at th e
committee, Lewis retorted:
. "I
often wonder how many people,
barring those in labor unions, are
elected to office."
"I believe when you tamper
with the liberties of 70 million
workers you're tampering with
the liberties of all Americans,"
Lewis said.
Council Rejects
10 Point System
The idea of a la point grading
system was voted down on Tues
day evening in a straw vote of the
Agriculture Student Council.
Bruce Brenneman, junior in
forestry from Freeport, expressed
the viewpoint of many council
members when he said that there
would be no advantage to such
a system. Only seven members
thought the idea was worthwhile.
In other business President
Charles Ault, junior in agriculture
education from Linden, asked the
council if anyone knew what had
happened to some signs which
have disappeared from Armsby
bulletin board this week.
Ault appointed Don Robinson,
junior in agriculture education
of Drexel' Hill, parliamentarian.
5 Sudden
Challenge
A sudden series of five airplane crashes in the United
States and coastal waters took 36 lives in a 24-hour period
through Wednesday. The tragedies posed some perplexing
questions for investigators.
Three - Air Force jet fighters hurtled virtually together
into the Atlantic Ocean off Myr
tle Beach, S.C., yesterday in a
puzzling circumstance. Witnesses
to the triple crash said they saw
no collision. The three pilots:were
killed
Investigators said an explo
sion, possibly inside the fuse
lage, caused an airliner to craqh
with a loss of 31 lives Tuesday
near Baltimore—but the ques
tion of what caused the explo
sion still was unanswered.
Less than an hour earlier an
other airliner skidded in a land
ing at Charleston, W. Va., and fell
down a 200-foot embankment.
Two of 43 persons aboard were
killed. Six were injured.
A near-collision between a mil
itary jet and an airliner was re
ported in California.
From the Virgin Islands came
a report of a jet crashing at St.
John Island, east of St. Thomas.
The plane that disintegrated
near Baltimore was a Capital
Airlines Viscount on a flight
from New York to Atlanta.
There were no survivors.
The craft that went over the
embankment at Charleston was
another Capital airliner.
