DCi Shows Off American
MosiiiD Furnace at Geneva
Geneva CM President
Eisenhower today proudly show
ed off an American atomic fur
nace, set up on the grounas
whtn tha Bia Four summit
TMMttinn art being held.
Hi. audience included two
Russian correspondents of the
official Soviet news agency,
Tass.
The Russian watched a Mr
Tiunhnwir manipulated con
trols which put the reactor into
full operation. They also heard
him describe the furnace as evi
dence that atomic science couia
be "used for the welfare and not
the destruction of mankind.
.aiMi fe Exoerts
The reactor was assembled
her hv American experts from
the Oak Ridge, Tenn., Atomic
Ynartrr slant.
Th massive device, known as
. a "swimming pool" type of re
actor because the atomic pile is
immersed in a large pool of wa
ter, was brought here for the
international conference ontne
peaceful uses of atomic energy
-which onens in Geneva Aug. 8.
After looking over the reac
tor, powered by enriched ura
nium 235, Mr. Eisennower drove
a few hundred yards to the Big
Four conference meeting place.
One of the two Tass corres
pondents, Boris Nokoviv, arriv
ed late for the inspection oi tne
atomic furnace and found the
doors locked. But the keeper so
licitously unlocked the door and
ushered the Russian into the
control room.
Eisenhower Pleased
Mr. Eisenhower told a group
of officials in charge of the dis
play "that he waa "very pleased"
the United States had been able
to establish the reactor In Gene
va for the improvement of world
scientific knowledge.
The delegates to the summit
conference are safe from atomic
radiation because the American
reactor is carefully shielded.
Right now, an official said, it is
' operating on low power for test
ing. Just 10 yean and a day be
fore the Big Four convened, the
first atomic bomb exploded in
Mew Mexico. ' Since then, the
bomb has figured prominently
in world affairs and previous
summit talks.
Soviet Premier Nikolai Bul
ganin announced a Russian turn
about on the atom Monday. He
said Russia now has decided to
contribute "an appropriate
amount' of fissionable material
to an international energy
. agency.
Previous Refusal
Previously the Soviets refused ,
to participate in any internation
al atomic activities until nuclear
weapons were banned.
Bulganin said Russia's alloca
tion would come "as soon as an

put up 44 pounds.
Luxembourg was sprayed with
tear gas this morning as she
raced from her hotel to the plane
which carried her to Singapore.
Big Hotels Smashed
Thousands of rioters looted
and smashed two big hotels to
day in Saigon on South Viet
Nam's "day of national shame"
but Mrs. Mesta, who inspired the
musical comedy "Call Me
Madame," talked them out of
hurting her party.
She said that the angry stu
dent demonstrators started to
break into her suite in the Ma
jestic Hotel. She threw open the
door and called:
"No! We are your friends, we
are Americans."
"It was an ordeal I never
want to experience again," Mrs.
Mesta said.
"It began about 9:15 a.m. and
there was shooting and every
thing," the famed Washington
hostess said.
"I talked to the students to
prevent them from attacking us.
It was not over until 11 a.m."
Races Through Mob
Mrs. Mesta, who is on a world
tour, raced through the mob
after an English speaking stu
dent held back the crowd in the
hotel.
First secretary of the Ameri
can Embassy in Saigon, Francis
Malloy, led Mrs. Mesta to safety
at the airport. She salvaged most
of; her luggage which Malloy,
Mrs. Mesta's secretaries and Ma
rine guard grabbed up and ran
with through the rioters.

BURTON W. ABBOTT
Leads Being Checked
Leads Checked Oul
In Disappearance
Of Berkeley Girl
Berkeleyj Calif. U.R) Police
said today they will have to
check out "pertinent leads" turn
ed up in the lie detector test of
Burton W. Abbott before they
can decide whether he was in
volved in the disappearance of
Stephanie Bryan.
The two-day test came to an
end yesterday, but acting Police
Chief A. H. Fording declined im
mediately to exonerate the 27
year-old accounting student. He
issued a statement saying:
Pertinent Leads '
"In connection with the poly
graph examinations which have
been conducted during the past
two days, Inspector A. E. Riedel
reports that from an investiga
tive standpoint, the polygraph
examinations have yielded a
number of pertinent leads, which
will require further develop
ment.
"Until these leads have been
explored, a definite conclusion
cannot be reached."
No Major Misstatement
However, it appeared likely
that the lie detector had not
caught Abbott in any major mis
statement about his activities on
April 28, the day the 14-year-old
Stephanie disappeared while re
turning home from school. Oth
erwise he probably would have
been jailed immediately.
Fording said Riedel bad no
immediate plans to question Ab
bott further.
Abbott, a frail Army veteran
who has arrested tuberculosis,
has been under almost constant
questioning since Friday night.
Mormons settled in Utah and
chose that city as their capital
in 1847.

earthshaking information.

Congress on Meeting
the reports to Congress are about
the same as those available to
any avid American newspaper
reader.
Congressional leaders said
there have been two main en
couraging points in reports they
have received so far on the
Geneva meeting. One is the high
degree of U.S.-British-French
unity and the other is the appar
ent continuing friendliness of
the Soviets.
Difficult Problems Ahead
Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.), ,
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations committee, said Tues
day he feels "the whole confer
ence has moved steadily in the
direction of reasonableness."
He described German reuni
fication as "one of the difficult
problems to be met" and said
reunification will be difficult to
achieve "without some serious
concessions on our part."
Before going to 'Geneva, the
President called in congression
al leaders and promised them
full information on progress of
the Big Four meeting.
Mechanically speaking, the
State department is receiving
communications at all hours
from U. S. delegation headquar
ters in Geneva. They make up a
good part of the volume of dis
patches flowing into the diplo
matic code room here around
the clock.
Work Starts Early
Some State department offic
ials roll out of bed at an extra
early hour to start work on the
daily summary of incoming
cables, including the heavy load
from Geneva. This process con
tinues throughout the day. -
Acting Secretary of State Her
bert Hoover Jr., sits down at
his State department desk about
8 a.m. to scan overnight reports
from the President, Dulles and
their Geneva helpers. So far this
week, Vice-President Richard M.
Nixon has been stopping off at
Hoover's office about 8:15 ajn.
for a briefing before going on to
Capitol Hill.
Nixon throughout the day has
been passing on some informa
tion informally to important
congressional officials. Chief
