America Fascinating Land To Khrushchev

WASHINGTON (UPD - Colorful and articulate Nikita S. Khrushchev today began to translate into realit one of his favorite adages: “To see once is better than to read one hundred times.” For Khrushchev as well as for Lenin and Stalin, America alwas has had a strange fascination. He publicly told a group of American governors who visited Moscow this summer, •"We would like to be like you and what is wrong with that." Lenin lived in a period of extreme, externally imposed isolation. Stalin preferred to immure himself inside the Kremlin walls. Khrushchev alone, the first genuinely proletarian Soviet leader, has made extensive travel an instrument of national policy. Issue* Genuine Challenge Stalin spoke of a goal "to catch up and surpass the most advanced capitalist country.” Khrushchev has turned this slogan into a genuine challenge to give Rusia a standard of living better than America within the foreseeable future. For the next 13 days, the Soviet premier will have a ( first-hand look into the realities of American power of which he has read a hundred times. When Khrushchev visited England in 1956 he complained that British authorities erected an artificial barrier between himself ] and the people. He claimed that' he was not permitted to see

Three Accidents Are Reported In County The state police and sheriff’s department reported three accidents over the weekend, one involving the injury of the driver of a pick-up truck southwest of Berne. David E. Beer, 16, of Berne, who was travelling east on county road 20. hit an oil spot, spinning into a ditch. Beer sustained possible cracked ribs and was treated by a Berne physician at his office and released after an examination. The accident occurred at 2:45 p.m. Saturday. Monday at 2:45 p.m. on the Monmouth road, Larry L. Stevens, 23, of route 3, Decatur, while driving north in Monmouth, told police that he was forced to the right by an oncoming car, striking a parked car on the east side of the road. Damage to both cars amounted to S3OO each. The parked car, owned by Albert L. Huston, 25, of route 3. Decatur, received extensive damage to the right side of his car as did the Stevens vehicle. The Huston car was parked the wrong way on the street but was not instrumental to the accident. A car driven by Lloyd BiberHein. 54, of Geneva, slowed down to avoid a car in front of him which was attempting a left turn. A car driven by Earl E. Mann. 59 of Geneva, did not notice that the Biberstein car had slowed down, and struck the machine in the rear, causing S3OO damage to the

’ everything and everybody he was ’ interested in. There are no grounds for such . charges with regard to the American tour. The United States is wide open to the Soviet visitors and everything within reason has been made accessible to them. Only Bird'* Eye View It is only due to the normal security precautions, the extensive trans-continental itinerary and the attempt to crowd too much within a brief time that the Khrushchev party will get no more than a bird's eye view of the United States. Some Americans have justified the unprecedented invitation to Khrushchev on grounds that it would be useful for his personal education on American affairs. It has been said that the visit might help to remove some of his possible misconceptions about American power, about the unity of the people and the government, and the firmnes of American foreign policy. But it is by no means evident that Khrushchev suffers from such misconceptions or, if he does, that this brief visit will eliminate them. On the contrary, there is evidence that he is reasonably well briefed on America. "I do not have to go to America to see how strong and rich that country is," Khrushchev said and added, "that I know already."

; Steel Leader Charges Union Mars Progress NEW YORK (UPD— The steel industry’s top negotiator charged today that the union’s refusal to give way to progress was a major stumbling block in settling the 63-day steel strike. R. Conrad Cooper, executive vice president of the U.S. Steel Corp, and head of the industry's four-man bargaining team, said the Unitt*d Steelworkers Union has consistently refused to accede to contract changes necessary to increase the industry's productive . efficiency. I The union labeled the charge rediculous and said Steelworkers were turning out | inure sieei before the strike with i fewer workers than ever before, i Negotiators, who met for 90 ; minutes Monday, were to resume talks today. "The whole issue is one of progress,” Cooper said in a recorded radio broadcast that will eventu- ■ ally be heard in steel plant communities in 16 states. “We don't want to -change practices simply for the sake of making change. But we do recognize that there can be no pft ogress without change.” Cooper said the union had prevented the industry from exercising its unda mental right to manage by insisting on the retention of outdated conract clauses pertaining to local working conditions. "The idea of saying that once something has been done one way it has to be done that way forever is ridiculous in this space age,” Cooper said, "but that is about what we are up against many times when it comes to making needed changes in local practices.” Cooper also said the issue of inflation was vital in the current negotiations aimed at ending the strike, which has halted about 90 per cent of the nation's steel production and idled 500,000 steelworkers and about 150,000 workers in allied industries. “Unless a non - inflationary , agreement is reached,” Cooper said, "all the hardship the financial loss, and the sacrifice that has resulted from this strike will have been wasted. i McDonald countered by saying , that top executives of U.S. Steel I were “doubling in brass” as di-

U.N. Fact-Finding Team Reaches Laos

VIENTIANE, Laos (UPD—A four-man United Nations fact-find-ing team arriving here today to check on a reported Communist invasion ran into a Soviet charge it was here illegally. l The Soviets said Monday night the team was not the proper instrument for resolving the Laotian crisis. They called instead for a conference “without delay’ of the countries that attended the 1954 Geneva conference that created Laos, North <Viet*Nam and South Viet Nam out of what was once French Indo-China. The team prepared to begin its work despite the Russian attack, however. The Soviets were expected to formally protest creation of the team in the U.N. General Assembly, which opens today in New York. The Laotian government seemed confident the team would make an

Asks Probe Os Operation Os Commission INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— A state representative today called for a legislative probe of the operations of the Indiana Public Service Commission. Rep. Paul E. Pierce asked the Legislative Advisory Commission to set up a committee to look* into “what appears to be a failure to protect adequately the interests of the public” on the part of the PSC. “During recent years there has been a steady increase in the rates for utility service, not only in the county I represent, but also throughout the state as well,” the Indianapolis Democrat said- • "As I am sure you are aware, there has been a strong, if generally ineffective, public outcry at these increases.” Pierce said the PSC was “originally established to strike some sort of a balance between the best possible utility rates for the public and a Reasonable profit on their investment for utility owners.” ~ But he said the commission “has been subjected to serious public criticism.” “Responsible public officials serving on the commission have stated that they have no aitemai tive, under present Indiana law, but to comply with the rate inl crease requests they have grant- ■ ed,” he said. “I am sure they are ; sincere in this belief.” Among other things, Pierce said the committee should determine whether the PSC should be placed under the merit system and whether “persons previously employed by the commission have unduly influenced its 'proceedings in subsequent appearances.” He also requested that the committee investigate: —Whether the statutes under which the PSC now operates are adequate for the protection of the public. —The internal organization of the commission and the qualifications of commission personnel. —The techniques and operations of the commission in the conduct of its hearings. —The scope arid effectiveness of the powers bestowed on the attorney general and the public counselor in their representatiions and appearances before the PSC. —Whether laws enacted by the . recent Indiana Legislature relating to the office of public counsellor permit him to operate more ' ' in the interest of the i public. —Whether provisions for notice ’ of hearings and issues to be considered at hearings are specifically enough defined by tatute to protect adequately the interests of : die public and the utility. —Whether the 1957 amendment to the PSC act permitting the 1 right of appeal to the Indiana Ap- ; pellate Court places too great a burden on the court. Sen. Von A. Eichhorn (D-Union-dale) moved that such a committee be created and that it report its findings to the Legislative Advisory Commission for possible action at the next seion of the Legilature. The motion was adopted unanimously. 1 dne

Two-Thirds Os Requests Granted

WASHINGTON (UPD — The Democratic - controlled Congress granted nearly two-thirds of the legislative requests made by President Eisenhower this year. But some of the omissions were conpicuous. They included school aid, civil rights, a postage rate bike and a wheat program. The Republican President sent the heavily Democratic Congress two dozen major recommendations this year. Congress approved 15 of them in some form. In a few cases, Eisenhower got less than he asked. In a few other, he received more than he wanted. Forced to Override Congress completely reversed his recommendation against starting new public works projects but it had to override an Eisenhower veto for the first time to do so. It voted funds to start 67 new projects. Here is a rundown on how Eisenhower’s proposals fared this year: * Farm: Congress and the President stalemated in efforts to solve the No. 1 farm problem—wheat surpluses. Congress rejected Eisenhower’s plea for lower price supports. Eienhower vetoed Congres’ solution — tighter planting curbs and higher supports. Taxes: Congress raised the gasoline tax 1 cent a gallon, a %-cent less than Eisenhower asked, extended Korean War corporate and excise taxes another year and revised income taxes on life insurance companies. It did nothing about his proposals to boost the aviation gas tax and impose a new levy on jet fuels. Raise Interest Rates Interest Rates: Congress raised interest rate on GI housing loans and on government savings bonds. It rejected Eisenhower’s request to hike interest rates on big longterm bond issues. Postage: Congress completely ignored Eisenhower’s proposal for a nickel stamp on regular letters and an 8-cent charge for air mail letters. Labor* Congress passed a labor reform law generally along the lines Eisenhower recommended. It did not act on his proposal to extend coverage of the minimum wage law to several million more workers. Housing: On the third try. Congress passed a housing bill containing most of what Eisenhower asked. But it added authority for new public houing units which he opposed. Reject School Plan Education: Congress brushed aside the administration’s “pay later” school aid plan and rejected Eisenhower's proposal to cut aid to school districts crowded by children of federal workers. Civil Rights: Congress passed one of Eisenhower’s seven civil rights propoal — extending the life of the Civil Right Commission. It plans to take up some of the others next year. Veterans: Congress approved his recommendation to revise the pension system for veterans with non-service connected disabilities, but added a provision hiking pension costs for World War II and

Korean War widows. Other Eisenhower recommendations approved by Congress included: Hawaiian statehood, airport grants, a boost in the temprary debt limit, new capital for the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, a four-year extension of the draft, and permission for the Tennessee Valley Authority to sell revenue bonds to finance construction. Cooler Weather Is Predicted In Nation United Press International A wide band of cool air swept out of Canada and the Pacific Ocean early today, sending temperatures plummeting from the Pacific Northwest to the Grea.. Lakes. The front, which was accom panied*by brief thunderstorms and stiff winds, dropped temperatures 27 degrees at Bismarck, N D., and sent the mercury down 23 degrees to a low of 45 at Elko, Nev. The cooler air sparked light , rains as far east as the northern Atlantic states and brought cloudy skies to New England. Heaviest rainfall was a .41-inch recorded at Burley, Idaho. Wind gusts nearing 50 m.p.h. whipped through Elko and Glasgow, Mont., but no damage was reported. The cool, storm-laden air was expected to bite as far south as central Indiana and Nebraska today, with showers continuing over the Rockies, the Pacific Northwest and along the Gulf Coast. Cooler weather was predicted from the Great Lakes westward to the northern Plains. The U.S. Weather Bureau said fair weather would predominate over the south and central Plains I and extend through the Ohio Valley in to middle and north Atlantic states.
