The banner headline question
in the London press was "why?'
The only available answer was
that it was a family affair.
The bodies of Doyle and his

Gromyko Interested
In U.S. Quakers'
Peace Blueprints
Moscow (U.PJ A group of
American Quakers reported Sat
urday they had got Acting Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gro
myko interested in their own
blueprint for peace.
Clarence E. Pickett of Plula,
delphia, secretary emeritus of
the American Friends Service
Committee, presented the pro
posal to Gromyko in an inter
view at the Soviet Foreign Of
fice Friday night.
Pickett said Gromyko had
studied the plan and "evinced
interest."
Pickett said the Quakers' pro
posal for peace and checking
armaments is based on the In
ternational Labor Organization's
(ILO) scheme for Inspection of
factories by its inspectors for
spot checks on labor conditions.
He said the ILO constitution
provides for inspectors to have
free access to factories at any
time and to have permission to
question workers without in
forming the management. -
The ILO' inspectors, Pickett
said, also can examine the books
of any factory they choose, with
out giving prior warning.
"Mr. Gromyko didn't seem to
be aware that this system is al
ready in use, and he appeared
interested," Pickett reported. .
Mat Gromyko at U.N.
Pickett, who said he previous
ly met Gromyko at U.N., sessions
in New York and Paris, said he
told him the ILO pattern might
be used by an international dis
armament commission.
Gromyko smiled and said "dis
armament is a very difficult
problem, he reported.
"Mr. Gromyko said the Soviet
delegation would be interested
in any thinking about the prob
lem of governmental or non gov
ernmental bodies and encour
aged us tosendalongsomefurther
ideas," Pickett said. "The inter
view was very satisfactory for
me."
Pickett said Gromyko was
"extremely friendly" while they
discussed other matters and gave
permission to Pickett to take
rolls of undeveloped film out of
the country.

To Cancel Contract
Witt GDBxon-Yates
By JOHN A. GOLDSMITH 1
United Press Correspondent
Washington U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower is ready to can
cel the controversial Dixon
Yates contract if the "new look"
which he has ordered shows
that Memphis, Tenn., really will
build a power plant of its own,
informed sources said Saturday.
These sources, who have been
close to recent developments in
the year-long Dixon-Yates con
troversy, said a decision on the
matter should come next week.
President Eisenhower and his
aides, according to these infor
mants want to be absolutely
'sure that opponents of the con
tract have not proaaed wiempu
is into announcing plans for its
own plant as a subterfuge to
head off the Dixon-Yates ar

The same position was taken
on Friday by the benate. Appro
priations commute in voting on
a $6,500,000 aDnronriation for
a transmission line to link the
nronosed Dixon-Yates clant with
the government - owned Ten
nessee Valley authority.
The committee provided that
if the Citv of Memphis matces
a definite commitment within
90 days to build its own plant,
the S6.500.000 nower line money
mav not be snent. If the city
does not act in 90 days, the
money still may not be spent
until the financing of the Dixon
Yates plant is approved and con
struction begun. .
Significantly, it was Sen. Wil
liam F. Knowland, who as GOP
leader is the administration's ton
spokesman, who sueeested the
language of the committee's de
cision.
The Dixon-Yates nrivatelv-fi-
nanced slant would be built at
West Memphis, Ark., across the
Mississippi river from Memphis
and would feed power into the
TV A system at the Tennessee
city. Memphis has said that ra
