CASABLANCA, Morocco Wl-A
tight curfew clamped on Casa
blanca's Arab quarter finally
brought a lull last night to vicious
French - Morrocan battling that
flared throuEh this major North
African port for the fourth straight
day.
At least eight more persons
were killed in Sunday's violence.
Estimates of the total dead ran
from 50 to 200 varying widely
because the Arabs often conceal
their dead from authorities.
Bloodshed occurred Sunday in
the hithorlo quiet Old Medina Sec
tor, near the docks, when tanks
manned by police fired into a mob
of stone-throwing Moroccans who
had set a dozen or more fires.
Four big fires raged in the Medina
after the tank action. .
In other parts of the city Mo
roccans felled trees and iciopnone
roles, set fire to stores, schools
and factories and took pot shots
at an estimated 16,000 police and
soldiers on patrol or guard duly.

Eisenhower Offers Peace
Plans At Geneva Meet
(Continued from Page One)
Bulganin's government has shown
great touchiness.
The American people said Eisen
hower "feel strongly that certain
peoples of Eastern Europe, many
with a long and proud record of
national existence, have not yet
been given the benefit of this
nledce of our United Nations war
time declaration, reinforced by
other wartime agreements. Pre
sumably Eisenhower had in mind
the Yalta agreements, which guar
anteed free elections and demo
cratic governments to Eastern
Europe. He continued:
The American people "want to
he friends with the Soviet people"
and there are no "natural" rival
ries or conflicts between them
but "artificial barriers" block
friendships. Eisenhower said, "it
is time that all curtains, whether
of guns or laws or regulations,
should begin to come down. But
this can only be done in an atmos
phere of mutual respect and con
fidence." Red Meddling Breeds Distrust
International Communism has
disturbed relations between Russia
and other nations for 38 years, Ei
senhower said. "We cannot ignore
to distrust and therefore to lnter-
of such activities," and added, "in
my nation and elsewhere it adds
to distinct and therefore to inter
national tension."
Eisenhower spoke not In terms
of total disarmament but of limi
tation of armament. He said that
surprise attack in this atomic age
has a "capacity for destruction
far beyond" anythir.fi known be
fore. Therefore each power, he
continued, "deems it vital that
there should bo means to deter
such attack."
Loading nations must "press
forward" with development of
peaceful uses of the atom. "We
believe that if the Soviet Union
would according to lis ability con
tribute to this great project, that
act would improve the internation
al climate."
The President began by warn
ing that "we cannot expect here,
in the few hours of a few days,
to solve all the problems of all
Ihe world that need to be solved."
Peace Barriers Cited
"Nevertheless," ho went on, "we
can. perhaps, create a new spirit
that will make possible future so
lulions of problems which arc
within our responsibilities. And
equally important we can try to
take hero and now at Geneva the
first steps on a new road to a just
and durable peace."
Tho problems oi the world are
not insoluble. Eisenhower contin
ued, provided the existing condi
tions of fear and distrust can be
removed.
If those conditions can he
changed." he said, "then much
can be done. Under such circum
stances, I am confident that at a
later stage our foreign ministers
will be able to carry on from
where we leave off lo find, cither
by themselves or with others, so
lutions to our problems."
The President said talk of peace
had little meaning unless some
thing is done to remove the rlivi
ison of Germany, which he called
"a basic source of instability in
Europe."
"In the Interest of enduring
peace." he continued, "our solu
tion should lake account of the
legitimate interests of all concern

Disneyland Park
Preview Opening
-u res, Huge Throng
ANAHEIM, Calif. (.) Disney
land, a 17-million-dollar southern
California playground dedicated to
children, young and old, opens its
gales to the public today.
Unfortunately, the opening is
about one week too early as 30,
000 invited guests learned Sunday
at a special preview.
The fabulous amusement park is
the brainchild of Walt Disney, the
best friend a kid ever had. But.
probably for the first time in his
career, Disney disappointed thou
sands of youngsters.
The park, which hopes to handle
60.000 persons a day in peak oper
ations, wasn't able to handle half
that number.
When the opening day jitters are
quieted and the park slows down
to a routine operation, it will be
quite a show. The 160 acres 100
of them for parking have every
thing to thrill a kid and his par
ents too.
A nostalgic main street, com
plete with horse-drawn trolley,
will help many a grownup relive
his childhood.
There's a stockade, pirate ship
and replicas of Mickey Mouse and
fellow cartoon characters of Dis
ney fame.
Park officials said that they
hope to gross 10 million dollars a
year with an average per head
expenditure of $2 per visit.

Engine Reported Afire
Coroner McCarron said he
learned one of the engines of the
plane caught fire during a refuel
ing stop at Wichita, Kan., en route
to Chicago. He told newsmen:
"Reports of the engine fire at
Wichita and the obvious fact that
the plane should have been re
routed because of the field weath
er conditions . . . shows that the
people concerned were far too
much interested in timetables. The
plane should never have attempt
ed the landing."
However, the Braniff district
manager at Wichita said no fire
had been called to his attention
ard "I've been here all day." He
said it could have been a motor
backfiring and spurting flames.
The passengers included many
college students on their way home
after Air Force Reserve training
at bases in Texas. There also were
six Navv reservists on their w-iv
to Norfolk, Va., for summer train-
