Expanding more on his decision
not to run against Neuberger's

MOSCOW (AP)-March 23 has
been agreed upon as the new date
for Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush

news agency Tass announced to
day. The visit will continue until
April 3.
Khrushchev originally had
planned to start his visit Sunday,
nut it was announced he was
forced to postpone it over the.
weekend because of an attack of
influenza.
The new schedule cuts tho
French visit to 12 days. He orig
inally had planned to spend 14
but some adjustment had been
expected in view of the tight
schedule of French President
Charles do Gaulle this spring.
De Gaulle will begin a four-day
stale visit to Britain April 5, only
two days after Khrushchev
leaves. Dc Gaulle will go to the
United Slales April 19.
The prompt announcement of a
new date for the visit dissolved
speculation that he might be suf
fering from a "diplomatic ill
ness." Diplomats here had scoffed
at this specula'ion all along, say
ing he was eager for the presum
ing talks with De Gaulle.

Kennedy Labels
Building Issue
Of Top Priority
WASHINGTON (AP) Sen.
John F. Kennedy (D-Mass) said
today a boom in public and pri
vate construction should be the
No. 1 goal of the next president
of the United States.
Kennedy, who hopes to be
the next president, said that un
der the present administration's
"tight - money policies" construc
tion is declining rather than in
creasing rapidly to meet the ex
panding needs of the exploding
American population.
Kennedy said that a man pur
chasing a $20,000-home at current
interest rates will wind up at the
end of a 30-year mortgage hav
ing paid a total of $43,000 for the
home. He ' said this was about
$9,000 more than the cost under
interest rates of a few years ago.
Kennedy spoke at the national
legislative conference of the
Building and Construction Trades
Department, AFL-CIO. The dele
gates gave him a rousing
reception.
Do-Nothing
Kennedy said President Eisen
hower's administration has a do
nothing policy. He said this is
reflected in a growing shortage
of homes, schools and airports
hroughout the country.
Kennedy said that at the pres
ent rate of urban renewal it
would take over a century to get
rid of the nation's slums. He
called for lower interest rates
and government aid to expand
private and public construction
activities. Kennedy also said no
will press for congressional action
this year on legislation to boost
the present Sl-an-hour minimum
wage to si.25, to cstamisneu led
oral minimum standards for un
employment compensation bene
fits, and to amend the federal
labor law to permit picketing of
construction projects that have a
number of separate contractors.
Negro Problem
AFL-CIO President Georgo
Meany said earlier that AFL-CIO
unions must end mcnibershp dis
crimination against Negroes. He
said such practices "violate every
basic tradition of the free trade
union movement."
"We have got to face up to the
(segregation) problem squarely
and find a solution for it based
on sound trade union principles,"
Jlenny said.
"We must put an end to this
hateful evil of discrimination
whenever and wherever it occurs,
whether it be in a local union or
international union. Our good
faith is at stake."

Miner Rescue
Stage Crucial
LOGAN, W. Va. (AP) - Work
men striving to reach 18 trapped
miners had a new approach today
to where the men are believed
holed up, and the rescue chief
said, "We're at the critical stage
now."
Crawford L. Wilson, state mines
director, said a new fresh air line
had been set up and converged
with the first one.
"These lines of approach are
certain and safely supported,"
said Wilson as he spoke to news
men after a conference with offi
cials of Island Creek Coal Co.
One rescue team had reached
almost within shouting distance
150 feet from their target deep be
hind the tunnel which has been
clogged with a smoldering fire
and slate fall since last Tuesday
morning. But rescuers have hail
to return for fresh oxygen supplies
time and again.
Fate of the men who were
trapped six days ago remains as
shrouded as the smoke and gas
cloged air. However, rescuers
believe they had time to barri
cade themselves off with heavy
canvas.
Wilson, veteran mine official
who was celebrating his 66th
birthday today, walked briskly
and was in good spirits as he ar
rived from an overnight stay in
; Holden.
He explained that work teams
have fought their way through
tunnels 7 and 8 and the honey
comb passageways between them.
The new fresh i ir passage through
these tunnels has linked with the
main rescue attempt up tunnel 4.
The entombed men arc believed
in an area off 7 and 8, which also
can be reached from the No. 4
tunnel.
Earlier, one workman described
the tremendous obstacles in the
way of the rescuers.
"That smoke is so thick down
there you can stick out your finger
and punch a hole in it," said El
mer Layne, 37 year-old rescue
team captain just up from the
black depths.

For Rocket Trip
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. (AP) "I've been waiting
a long time to get my hands on

That's the test pilot Joe Walker
talking about the X15 rocket ship.
He makes his first flight this week

high at 4,000 m.p.h.
The plane Walker will take up

wasn't satisfied with the way it
handled.
"It was just a little trouble in
the damping," says Walker. "The

go now."
