Shelve Variances
On Summit Policy
Geneva - (UPD - The United
States and Britain shelved
their wide open differences on
summit policy today to press
the Soviet Union, for a quick
Berlin truce.
The Big Four conference
was entering its ninth week
with no progress to date and
diplomatic observers said the
talks were In their final stages
with this the -most critical
week.
Three major rounds of talks
were scheduled for today in
cluding the conference's first
"working tea" this afternoon
when the diplomats meet at
5:30 p.m. at the British villa.
British Foreign Secretary
Selwyn Lloyd was to confer
with Soviet Foreign Minister
Anr'rei Gromyko at lunch, but
Western sources said he in
tended only to "probe" Rus
sian intentions and. not to ne
gotiate. Then the Western ministers
crettine toeether for a
strategy session an hour be
fore the working tea.
The Anglo-American differ
ences were reported patched
up Sunday night when Secre
tary of State Christian A.
Herter conferred for two
hours at dinner with Lloyd.
Ambassador John Hay Whit
ney flew from London for the
talks.
Conference sources said
Herter considered the Anglo
American split so big it had
assumed serious proportions
and that it was time . to
straighten out the differences
before they got worse.
The British were for a sum
mit meeting at almost all
costs. The United States,
France and West Germany
still wanted one only if there
was some progress. Britain
was said to fear that failure
to call a summit meeting
would give Russia the diplo
matic initiative.

By A. ROBERT SMITH
Mail Tribune Washington
Correspondent
Washington (Special) - The
federal highway aid program
is facing a financial crisis,
causing further Oregon road
contract bids to be. held up,
largely because Congress last
year ordered a step-up in high
way building as an anti-recession
measure.
A variety of other factors
have also entered the picture
since Congress mapped out
the long-range highway build
ing plan in 1956 and directed
that it be financed on a pay-as-you-go
basis. Inflation was
the most significant of these
other factors.

Castro Returns
As Cuban Premier
After 10 Days
Havana-dJPB-Premier Fidel
Castro was officially back in
power today with a "man
date" from a half-million
shouting, shooting peasants
ready to turn their razor-
sharp machetes against his
foes.
Castro told a wildly cheer
ing mass meeting here Sun
day night that he will "bow
to the people's will" and re
sume the post he vacated 10
days - ago to launch the
squeeze play that overthrew
President Manuel Urrutia.
The peasants jamming Hav
ana's new Civic Center yelled
themselves hoarse, firing re
volvers in the air and flash
ing the machettes (jungle
knives) which were acclaimed
by Catstro as the new symbol
of his revolution.
Two baseball players were
injured in a similar burst of
exuberance just after mid
night Sunday, when gun-firing
soldiers swarmed onto the
field during a night game.
Cancel Games

head was grazed, by a stray
bullet, hastily cancelled . a

The Cubans were scornful.
They pointed out" that their
shortstop, Leonardo Cardenas,
was hit in -the arm by a bul
let "and didn't complain:"
Castro's brother, Raul,
pony-tailed commander Nof
Cuba's armed forces, set the
stage for his appearance with
a speech saying that "the only
thing we ask is that Fidel re
turn." Osvaldo Dorticos Torrado,
who was installed as presi
dent in place of Urrutia, then
stepped forward to announce
that Castro had decided to re
sume his duties as premier
"as a result of your mandate."
Castro confirmed his deci
sion in a 2V-hour speech, de
claring also that anyone who
opposed his land reform plans
would face a "united front"
of machete-wielding peasants
like ' those who heard him
speak.

Meeting of Union,
Steel Industry
Scheduled Today
Federal Mediator
Calls Conference
New York - (UPD - The first
joint meeting of steel union
and industry negotiators since
the beginning of a nationwide
strike 13 days ago was sched
uled to be held today under
the call of Federal Mediation
Chief Joseph F. Finnegan.
Finnegan, however, held
out no hope that the meeting
presaged an early settlement
of the strike of 500,000 mem
bers of the United Steelwork-
ers who normally produce 85
per cent of the nation's steel.
Further meetings were also
scheduled for today between
negotiators for the nation's
Big Three aluminum com
panies and the Steelworkers
Union which has threatened to
go on strike if agreement is
not reached before expiration
of current contracts, July 31.
The trade weekly, Steel
Magazine, said today that
wages of $135,200,000 and
sales of $378,000,000 will have
been lost as a result of the
steel strike by the end of
today.
Supporting Industries
The figures did not include
losses to steel - supporting
transport and mining . indus
tries which have laid off an
estimated 78,000 workers be
cause of the steel shutdown.
Former New York Gov.
Averell Harriman said Sunday
that President Eisenhower
had been "wishy-wahy" and
pious" about the steel strike
when he should have called
in representatives of the USW
and the industry and "knocked
their heads together." Harri
man made the statement on a
local television program, i
Four-man negotiating teams
representing the union and
the. 12 largest steel producers
began contract talks on May
11 and have reported no pro
gress since that time. The in
dustry demanded a wage and
price freeze as a means of
combatting inflation. The
union has said the industry
has so increased profits that
it can pay a wage increase
without an inflationary price
rise.

Fire Under Control
Boise, Idaho - (UPD - A dev

While tired fire fighters
were controlling the. blaze,

that it will cost the federal

Slice for Inflation
Tallamy said the largest
slice of this increase goes for
inflation. He said highway
construction costs rose 12 per
cent "as a result of general
nationwide price increases"
during the interval from mid
1954 to the end of 1956. In
flation represents $4.1 billion
in cost increase estimates.
Another factor, he explain
ed, has been "extraordinary
increases in traffic experienc
ed in the last few years." Ad
ditional traffic lanes needed
will -boost the cost by $1.3
billion.
Additional interchanges and
changes in locations of some
highways to serve local needs
of small cities have increased
the cost estimate $3.8 billion.

Vice President Richard M
Nixon got a friendly welcome
to Leningrad today. But after
a "run-around" in touring the
Soviet ice breaker Lenin, he
put the pressure on and saw
to it that Vice Adm. Hyman
G. Rickover got a thorough
look at the vessel.
Rickover, who had com
plained after a one-hour tour
of the ship that he was getting
a run-around, was invited to
stay longer. After staying for
another three hours, he said:
I could see everything I
wanted to see. They asked,
'Were you satisfied?' T id
No, but I'm pleased.
Sees Reactor Plant
T don't think any Ameri
can has had the opportunity
to see what I saw. I am th
first American to have the
opportunity to see the entire
reactor plant."
It was not known immedi
ately whether Nixon had in
terceded on Rickover's behalf.
Nixon flew here from Mos
cow on a Soviet TU104 jet on
the second leg of his 'Vap
and friendship" swing through
ouvki union.
Nixon, Mrs. Nixon, and th.
rest of his entourage got a
hearty welcome from some
1,500 persons at Leningrad
airport along with Soviet First
Deputy Premier and Mrs. Frol
Kozlov, who at the last mo
ment were surprise additions
to the passenger list.
Photographs Released
During the one-hour and
nine-minute flight, Nixon and
A-oziov reached an agreement
enoing tne toviet ban on ship
ment to the United States of
undeveloped film of pictures
taken by American photogra
phers accompanying Nixon.
The ban, imposed last Friday
night on grounds that past
pictures in Moscow were "un-
friendly," was lifted for all
film taken by American cam
eramen since Nixon's arrival
in Russia and through today's
Leningrad visit.
Crowds gathered wherever
Nixon went in Leningrad dur
ing the day. At the shipyards
where the Lenin is being com
pleted, he was surrounded by
some 1,000 shipyard workers
who applauded him when he
said "This ship is a symbol
of peace of the United States
and the Soviet Union - the
atom, only for peace, not for
war."
Nixon was courteously re
ceived by the captain and
crew and shipyard officials
when he went aboard the shiD

But, although they were al
lowed to look at the ship's
reactors from a catwalk, they
were not permitted on the
floor of the hold where the
reactors were located. They
stayed there only a few min

Rickover, who had given
Kozlov a guided tour of the
Shippinsport, Pa., reactor sta

to see the insides of the shin.
He was told by Boris Klopo
