Bulgaria for 7th
Congress of Party
Trip Unannounced
By Reds Previously
Moscow (TJPI) Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev left
Moscow Saturday aboard a
Soviet TU-104 jet airliner for
a previously unannounced
visit to Bulgaria.
Khrushchev headed a dele
gation of the Soviet Commun
ist party which will attend the

munist, party 'chief Todor

ficials. The report gave no
clue to Khrushchev's reason
for the trip other than the
party congress.
The visit to Bulgaria is
Khrushchev's second to an
east European ally since he
took over as premier, succed
ing Nikolai ' Bulganin, last
March. He visited Hungary
last month. '
Observers in London re
garded Khruschev's" visit to
Sofia as another slap at Mar
shal Tito. The Soviet Union

resentative to the recent Yug
oslav Community party con
gress at which Tito reaffirmed
his "independent" Communist
policy.

Soviet sources said the re
ply was favorable but they
would not say whether it was
a complete acceptance of the
President's suggestion.
Other sources also called
Khrushchev's communication
favorable. But they indicated
it was not an unqualified
agreement. They said he call
ed for inclusion of 'neutral
nation scientists in the dis
cussions. It was understood Khru

for starting the technical con
ference. Mrs. Kunkel Named

Oe Gaulle
Office as
Paris (UPI) Gen. Charles
De Gaulle won his bid for
power Saturday. He was offi
cially named premier-desig
nate of France and will take
office today with assurance of
an overwhelming vote from
the national assembly.
President Rene Coty capped
the crisis by officially naming
De Gaulle.
All but the Communists and
some diehard Socialists were
behind De Gaulle, who al
ready was forming a cabinet
and drawing up a program to
strengthen the government
reform the constitution and
settle the Algerian war.
The General went to the
presidential Elysee palace for
a 30-minute meeting during
which Coty named him pre
mier-designate.
Emerge Smiling
Both men emerged from the
palace smiling and in cheer
ful spirit. De Gaulle said noth
ing, but. got into his black
Citroen limousine and went
to his headquarters to prepare
a speech for an extraordinary
Sunday assembly session.
Thus the 18-day-old crisis
that began with the .Gaullist
seizure of power in Algiers
May 13 entered its final
phase.
De Gaulle conferred day
long with moderate party
leaders who swung behind
him, before he went to the
palace.
It was his second visit to
the palace in as many days,
and for the second time he
again entered it by the Ave
nue de Marigny side entrance
reserved traditionally for
heads of government.
The assembly vote was ex
pected to run roughly 400 to
190 in favor of De Gaulle
the reverse of the vote against
him "last Wednesday - morning
when 'outgoing Premier Pierre
Pflimlin sought to stem the
Gaullist tide. f
Then the Gaullists had only
165 votes. Today, the anti
Gaullists, led by a hard core
of 148 Communist votes In the
596-seat assembly were ex
pected to muster little more
than that number.
Socialists Split ,-
The Socialists were split.
After hours in caucus, they
decided to let the 96 Socialist
members of the assembly vote
as their consciences dictated ,
and accept or reject positions
in the De Gaulle government
as they saw fit.
The 67-year-old World War
II hero was expected to de
mand:
' Constitutional reform to
strengthen the executive
branch. This would have to
be approved by popular ref
erendum.

was quiet. Most of the action
at this point was on the dip
lomatic front.
The Arab League council
gathered in Benghazi, Libya,
to consider Lebanon's com
plaint that President G a m a 1
Abdel Nasser's United Arab
Republic had stirred up the
present trouble by "massive
interference" in this country's
affairs, a charge that Cairo
has denied. The Maronite Pat
riarch of Lebanon also dis
counted the charge.
Foreign Minister Charles
Malik arrived in New York
after a flight cloaked in ex
treme security nieasures to
carry Lebanon's complaint
against the UAR through the
United Nations Security coun
cil. '
Malik' repeated Lebanon's
charge that the UAR is "mag
nifying, promoting and en
couraging" dissatisfaction in
the Beirut government.
He said he is confident the
Security Council debate on
the charge which starts Tues
day "will be of great help in
the elucidation of our case and
in . bringing a peaceful solu
tion." Cool Air Breaks

Memorial Day Could
Be Worst on Record -
By United Press International
Traffic deaths climbed
steadily Saturday night and
safety officials said this year's
Memorial Day week end could
end with the highest highway
fatality rate on record.
Early this morning United
Press International counted at
least 221 traffic fatalities
since 6 p.m. local time Thurs
day. In addition there were
74 drownings, 7 deaths in
plane accidents and 41 fatal

cil, said the national traffic
death count was running
about a consistent 30 fatalities
on the hour higher than last
year. Last year's total was 275
deaths, he said.
The National Safety Coun
cil appealed to the "good
sense" of motorists to drive
slower and halt . "needless
death and destruction."
"The toll has taken an
alarming jump," the National
Safety Council said. "Unless
the current rate takes a turn
for the better, we are headed
for an all-time Memorial Day
high;; - -
The council had predicted
350 persons would die on the
roads of the nation during the
three-day week end. The toll
was running ahead of the pre
vious all-time high of 372

gan collided with a truck on a
bridge near Ranger, Tex. Ear
lier, four youths died when
their auto smashed into the

Each of the roads being
built with federal runds has
been planned by the forest
service to make more nation

sale in smaller blocks.
Brown estimates that the
federal expenditure for the
roads will be more than re
paid to the federal treasury
within a 10-year period by in
creased stumpage value of
timber to be sold in the areas
tapped by the roads. These
roads also will make it prac
