Dulles
Agaimist AAid
U. 5. To Welcome
Sincere Offer by
Russia for Peace
Russia Announces
Readiness To Assist
Washington (U.PJ Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles said
today he believes chances are
against war breaking out in the
Middle East.
But he added it would be rash
indeed to say there is no risk
of war there.
Dulles also told a news con
ference the United States will
welcome any sincere offer by
Russia to help bring about peace
in the area through the United
Nations.
Soviet Said Ready
He made the statement when
asked about a Soviet Foreign
Ministry announcement that the
Soviet Union is ready "to assist'
in settling the Arab-Israeli dis
pute.
When that time does come,
Dulles said he thinks the United
Nations can play a considerable
role in helping achieve a peace
ful settlement But he empha
sized such a settlement is a direct
problem for Israel and her Arab
neighbors. He said ho one should
or could force a settlement on
them.
Moscow" (U.R) Russia an
nounced today it is "ready to
assist" in settling the Arab
Israeli dispute.
The Soviet Foreign Ministry
in a formal statement called for
U.N. action to "strengthen peace
in Palestine." It said "the Soviet
government is ready to assist in
helping achieve" an Arab-Israeli
settlement.
Discussion Scheduled
The explosive issue is sched
uled to 'be discussed in London
later this week when Soviet Pre
mier Nikolai Bulganin and Com
munist Party Chief Nikita S.
Khrushchev arrive for a British
tour which will include a series
of conferences with Prime Min
ister Anthony Eden.
The Soviet statement, issued
in Moscow and broadcast by
Moscow Radio, made three
points:
1. The USSR will support any
UN action to strengthen the
shaky peace in the Middle East.
2. The USSR considers that
measures toward this end should
be taken without any outside
interference.
. 3. The Palestine question
should be settled by taking into
account the interests of all
parties.

Kefauver's Bid
For New Jersey
Votes Tops Issues
Rivalry Overshadows '
Congressional Races
Newark, N.J. (U.R) Sen. Estes
Kefauver's struggle for control
of New Jersey's 36 Democratic
National Convention votes to
day overshadowed other issues
in the state's primary election,
Voters went to the polls to
decide the contest between Kef-
auver and Gov. Robert B. Mey-
ner for the convention votes.
The rivalry between the Ten
nessee senator and Meyner
eclipsed consts for 28 major
party congressional nominations
and the Republican presidential
preference balloting in which
President Eisenhower is the sole
candidate.
Meyner heads a nominally
uncommitted Democratic slate
backed almost solidly by party
regulars. Meyner's slate is re
garded as favorable to the nom
ination of Adlai E. Stevenson.
Kefauver has entered a slate of
delegate candidates pledged to
him in hopes of adding New
Jersey's convention votes to
those previously won in New
Hampshire and Minnesota.
Republican State Chairman
Samuel L. Bodine said there
was considerable voter apathy
because Mr. Eisenhower is "the
only presidential preference can
didate. He said the vote for the
President would be of little sig
nificance. A single GOP organ
izaticn slate is technically un
pledged but considered solid for
Mr. Eisenhower.
Kefauver's chances appeared
to lie in a large voter turnout.
Fast New Jersey primaries how
ever, indicated a light vote,
which would be to the advantage
of the well-organized party regu
lars. Rain forecast for the state
today threatened to reduce the
balloting.
Show of Confidence
In the event of close balloting,
final results may not be known
until late Wednesday since nine
of the state's 21 counties doiot
use voting machines.
Both the Kefauver forces and
the organization maintained a
show of confidence up to the
election eve. '
State Democratic Chairman
George E. Brunner, a delegate
on the party list, said the or
ganization was "conceding no
delegates to Kefavver" ane pre
dicted a victory for Meyner's
slate.
Kefauver, however, has said
his prospects looked particularly
bright in "four or five" south
Jersey congressional districts.
He has indicated .he hoped' to
win eight to 10 convention votes

Russia Gambling
On British Visit
By Top Diplomats
Eden Intends To Delve
Into World Problems
London U.R Russia is gam
bling on 10 days of handshakes
and smiles to shake the world.
Soviet Premier Nikolai Bul
ganin and Communist Party
first secretary Nikita S. Khru
shchev will arrive at Portsmouth
tomorrow aboard the Soviet
navy cruiser Orjonidske to try
to put across personally the
theme of Deaceful coexistence
that has failed to take hold in
the West during 10. years of
diplomatic negotiations.
These are friendly, affable
men with great capacities for
social good fellowship, ready
smiles, jokes and razor-sharp
minds.
Diplomats here are agreed
that sightseeing and the jovial
approach as develoDed on th re
cent successful trailblazing tour
ot deputy premier Georgi Malen
kov will mask a diplomatic
match between master diplomat
Sir Anthony Eden and the two
Russian master politicians.
Five Issues To Be Probed
Prime Minister Eden, who
has stated bluntly that he in
tends to delve deeply with Bul
ganin and Khrushchev into
world problems, has five main
issues to probe into:
1. A clear-cut statement, if he
can get it, on Russian intentions
in the blazins Middle East.
where the Arabs have been re
ceiving Russian arms.
2. Exploration of the ahrnnt.
Soviet decision to debunk Sta
lin. 3. The Far East, nartinnlarlv
red China's Claims to Formosa.
4. Disarmament. Bulganin
and Khrushchev will h h

ment laiKs, and -den is exDected
to try to boost it along "from the
bummit. '
5. Reunification of Gctmanv.
which aDDeareri nromisini at th
Geneva Summit conference last
July and reverted to deadlock at
ine unsuccessful foreign minis
ters' conference last Novemher.
Three Counter Issues
B & K. as the two Russian
leaders are .fast becoming
known in Britain, have three
general fields to explore and try
to put across their wishes:
1. To seek increased Anglo
Soviet trade, nartinnlarlv in
strategic goods. Britain needs
markets to survive. Russia seems
intent on capitalizing on this.
2. A gesture of-friendship by
signing an Anglo-Russian friend
ship oact. Russia broke off a
similar pact last year because
Britain condoned West German
armament. This also may in
clude a Russian call for another
Summit conference.
3. An attemnt to make
friends with the British people
by appearing as affable down-to-earth
"folks."
City Council To Hold
Tvo Public
Two public hearings will be

cil at its 7:30 p.m. meeting to
day.
One hearing is on a sanitary
sewer to serve the area bounded
by Capital ave. on the north,

Sunrise ave. on the west, not
now served by a sewer.

Moderafe Orchard
Heating Last Night
Moderate orchard heating last
night prevented frost damage to
pears in colder orchards in the
valley, according to C. B. Cordy,
county horticulture agent.
Cordy said the coldest temper
atures got down to 28 degrees,
and that heating started about 2
a.m. A cold air inversion under
clear skies kept smoke in the
valley, he said. Damage would
have resulted had some orchards
not been heated, he added.
Blanket Causes Smoke
Alarm at Hospital Here
The Medford fire department
dispatched two pumpers and the
aerial ladder truck to Commu
nity hospital about 12:48 a.m.
today when a blanket laying
over an electric portable heater
started smoking.
Damage was confined to the
blanket, firemen reported.
'Soil Bank' Bill
Approval Expected
By GOP Strategists
Many Messages
Support Stand
Washington U.R) Repub
lican legislative leaders assured
President Eisenhower today that
Congress will uphold his veto
on the farm bill.
They also predicted at a White
House strategy conference that
Congress will overwhelmingly
approve Mr. Eisenhower's re
quest for a straight "soil bank"
bill, provided the Democratic
leadership lets such a bill come
to the floor for a vote.
White House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty said President
Eisenhower was "quite pleased"
by the GOP leaders' assurances
that Congress will uphold his
farm bill veto.
Receives Many Messages
Hagerty said the President
also "shared their hope that
Congress will pass soil bank
legislation at this session."
Hagerty reported that Mr.
Eisenhower received a large vol
ume of mail and messages on
his veto. He said "quite a ma
jority" of the letters and tele
grams supported Mr. Eisenhow
er's stand.
Democrats meanwhile conced
ed privately that they cannot
muster the necessary two-thirds
vote to override the farm bill
veto in a .showdown scheduled
for tomorrow.
But Democratic congressional
leaders had not yet decided
what stand they will take on
Mr. Eisenhower's bid for a new
bill which would simply author
ize the $1,200,000,000 "soil
bank" program of taking crop
lands out of cultivation. .
Mr. Eisenhower added a sur
prise new feature to the soil
bank plan in a nationwide radio
TV address last night.' He pro
posed that the bill include pro
vision for the government to
start making payments of up to
50 per cent to participating
farmers as early as July 1.
Such advance payments to
farmers for signing contracts to
reduce next - year's plantin
could pump about $500,000,000
into the agricultural economy
during this crop year, he said.
This was obviously designed to
offset Democratic charges that
the soil bank plan is a long range
measure that offers little imme
diate help to hard pressed
farmers. ' . . .
GOP House and Senate lead
ers met with Mr. Eisenhower for
an hour-long private huddle on
the political and legislative prob
lems raised by the farm bill veto.
Republicans Confident
House Republican Leader Jo
seph W. Martin Jr. of Massachu
setts told reporters after the
meeting that he is sure the House
will uphold the veto.
Senate Repuolican Leader
William F. Knowland of Calif
ornia, added that if the House
failed to uphold the veto, "The
Senate certainly would.
Democrats, regarding the ef
fort to override the veto as a lost
cause, were already concentrat
ing behind the scenes on how to
regain the offensive in the elec
tion year battle over farm legis
lation. (See Story on Page 6)
