Geneva Meeting Highlights Washington (U.R) Highlights ot Secretary of State John Fos ter Dulles' report on the Geneva foreign ministers meeting: Verbatim statement from Pres ident Eisenhower read by Dul les: "I know that no setback, no obstacle . to progress will ever deter this government and our people from the great effort to establish a just and durable peace. Success may be long in coming, but there is no temporal force so capable of helping achieve it as the strength, the might, the spirit of 165 million free Americans. In striving to ward this shining goal, this coun try will never admit defeat." Dulles own statements: "On this occasion (the Geneva conference) no positive results were achieved." The Western powers "showed their confidence in their own strength and in the steadfastness of their own people. Thereby, this conference may have im proved the prospects for real agreements in the future." The conference demonstrated that the Russians "... are not yet willing to create the indis pensable conditions for a secure peace." But "they seem not to want to revert to the earlier re liance on threats and invective. In that respect the spirit of Ge neva still survives." "President Eisenhower said that he believed that the summit conference made it less likely that there would be open war between our countries. Nothing that happened at the foreign ministers conference requires a change in that estimate. . . " "The cold war in the sense of peaceful competition will inevit ably go on. . . We must assume that the Soviet Union will con tinue its efforts by means short of war to make its" system pre vail as it has done in the past. We can, however, hope that this competition will not entail all the same hostility and animos ity which so defiled the rela tions between us in the past." "Will the United States now have radically to revise its pro gram for defense and mutual se curity? The answer to this is no. We have' not lowered our guard." ". . . Neither the President nor I believe that it the Geneva con ference will be an end" to future negotiation with the Soviet Un ion. "It would of course be fool ish to' attempt new negotiations if everything remains as it was when this last conference came to an end." Dulles' explanation of why "no specific agreements" were reached: "The Soviet Union ap pears to want certain results in terms of European security, dis armament and contacts of a sort. But it is not yet willing to pay the price. . . in terms of doing what is inherently necessary to reach the results which we all say we want." ifAjL&? if . x - f ? r FIREMEN FOIL SUICIDE Would-be-suicide Armana Escalante, 30, is spotted (left) teetering on the roof of 12 stcry Veteran's Administration Building in San Francisco.

Southern Pacific Orders 10,000 Cars Chicago (U.R) The nation's railroads, placing their biggest freight car order since the 1920s, are contracting for 145, 000 new freight cars. William T. Faricy, president of the Association of American Railroads, told a news confer ence Friday that the new order will cost a total of about $1, 250,000,000. The new order includes 57,500 freight cars on order as Nov. 1, and another 87,500 cars the rail road said they would buy before Dec. 31. Faricy admitted that a major factor in the purchase is that government provisions for rapid tax amortization on freight cars expire Dec. 31. There was no breakdawn of individual railroad orders, but President D. J. Russell of the Southern Pacific, announced that his road ordered 10,700 cars, and delivery was expected to begin next year.
