at the May summit conference in
Paris He challenged the ability
of his guest. Soviet Premier Ni

the earth among themselves.
"Let all the leaders who are go

problems." Sukarno told 50,000

Sukarno's ring speech drew great
er applause than the words of
Khrushchev, who once more made
light of U S. strength and endur
ance in the cold war. He com
pared the United States to a
worn-out marathon runner.
Khrushchev, however, got the
biggest welcome of his Indones
ian tour on his arrival from Jog
jakarta. Officials estimated 300,-
000 had turned out to cheer his
ride through the city's streets.
The Soviet Premier spoke first
in the public square, smiling
from the palm-fringed platform
at a sea of cheering, flag-waving
Indonesians.
He said, "The Soviet Union
openheartedly is prepared to ex
tend to countries in the East not
only moral or political support
but alqo material support ..."
Bad Weather
To Close Pike
HARRISBURG (Al)—Chairman
Joseph J. Lawler said yesterday
the Pennsylvania Turnpike Com
mission will continue to close the
road as a safety precaution when
bad weather warrants it.
Asked by a newsman whether
he thought the superhighway had
been closed too frequently in re
cent years during severe weather,
Lawler replied that the shutdowns
were nothing new.
"Records show that the 'oike has
been closed in late 1959, 1958. 1955,
1952 ,1950 and 1948. It should have
been closed on other— occasions,
too, when as much as 50 inches
of snow had fallen."
He said the snow storm which
battered the turnpike's western
end last week was "more frus
trating to fight" than any pre
vious one. It took 36 hours for
crews to open the 175-mile section
between Irwin and the Gettysburg'
Pike.

Browder Says
Stalin Doomed
U.S. Reds
NEW YORK (I?) Joseph
Stalin gave the signal for open
ing of the cold war in 1945 by
purging personally the leadership
of the Communist party in the
United States and dooming it, to
"shameful death," the U.S. party's
former chief contends.
In a bitter article in the cur
rent issue of Harper's magazine,
Earl Browder, wartime general
secretary of the Communist party
in the United States, breaks a
silence of 15 years on the reasons
behind his sudden expulsion as a
"revisionist." Simply put,
Browder was expelled by the
U.S. Communists after Jacques
Duclos, a French Communist
leader and powerful figure in the
Comintern—Communist Interna
tional and accused him publicly
of sowing dangerous ideas.

Debate On
Rights May
Be Delayed
WASHINGTON (IP) Sen.
Lyndon B. Johnson (D.-Tex.),
put off a decision yesterday
whether to lay aside the civil
rights bill in order to pass on
appropriations.
He told reporters the Senate
won't make the decision until
faced with an actual money bill
ready for debate and passage.
When that time will come is un
certain.
Johnson spoke as majority lead
er of the Senate. The Republican
leader, Sen. Everett M. Dirksen
of Illinois, said he would not op
pose interrupting civil rights de
bate for appropriation bills if "it
is only for an agreed, definite pe
riod."
"Our decision now is to pass
a civil rights bill," Johnson said.
"We will decide when the ap
propriation bills are read y
whether to lay civil rights aside.
Dirksen and Johnson face a
bigger question, which they may
act on this week: Should the Sen
ate pass a bill of its own or adopt
whatever the House passes.
Johnson obviously inclines to
the latter action, reasoning that
if there are two bills to be ad
justed the whole thing might bog
down in a preliminary swamp.
Dirksen favors the Senate's go
ing ahead on its own so it can
pass a broader bill than the House
is likely to favor. The House is
not expected to go much beyond
a provision under which federal
officials could help Negroes vote
in the Southern areas where they
report discrimination.

Israel Accused
Of Mobilizing
Syrian Frontier
DAMASCUS, Syria (R')—Pres
ident Nasser accused Israel yes
terday of ordering mobilization
of and massing troops on the
tense Syrian frontier, scene of re
cent clashes.
"Declarations are being made,
that the situation in the Middle
East is deteriorating," the United
Arab Republic's President told a

ond anniversary of the Egypt-
Syria union. He was referring to
the U.N. Secretary General Dag.

States, Britain, and France to
