Soviet Attitude

The Communist world is now being informed by Nikita
Khrushchev that the American government and the Ameri
can people do not want waf.
I hope thlt the results of this declared change of attitude
toward this country will serve the interests of peace.
I would urgjj that we be alert to developments in the trou
ble spots of Europe and Asia to make certain that we are not
led to misjudge the true facts or permit the Communists to
misunderstand exactly what we are prepared to do.
Troubled Areas Not of Our Making
Thee troubled areas where peace and freedom have been
threatened or are in jeopardy have not been of our making,
and it is there that we will look for the first proof of the
avowed renunciation of the use of force in international
dealings or interference in the internal affairs of other
nations. -
Never in history has the need for disarmament been so.
imperative and so intimately involved in the everyday life
of our people. - '. .
While he was here, Khrushchev made certain suggestions
as part of a sweeping Utopian disarmament program. Some
of these suggestions are realistic where they deal with super
vised? controls in a gradual process of reducing arms stage
by stage.
These suggestions could be an important contribution if
Khrushchev follows through with concrete proposals and
commitments which he will keep. ,
There can be no realistic disarmament without adequate
supervision and control by the United Nations. I would re
mind Chairman Khrushchev that when we had the monopoly
- of nuclear weapons we offered to place them under inter
national supervision. -Soviet
Can Make Constructive Step
But Stalin and the Kremlin rejected our proposal, be
cause they would not agree to control and inspection. If
Khrushchev and the Kremlin now are ready to -reconsider
the need for control and inspection, they can make a con
structive step to ease the burden of armaments.
The United States in this century has taken the lead on
several occasions in an effort to bring about disarmament,
only to meet disappointment and disillusion.
And when we did make drastic reductions, either because
of agreement by treaty, as in the case of the London Naval
Agreement, or because of national policy of strengthening
civilian economy, we found ourselves confronted by grave
danger to bur security as a nation.
: This time, let us make sure that we do not endanger our
strength and security by making disoroportionate sacrifices
or by being lured into a false peace.
Glad Eisenhower Postponed Trip
I am glad that the President has postponed his planned
visit to Moscow and Russia, whatever the stated reason for
the change. More time is needed to see whether Khrushchev
will follow his words with deeds. """
In previous meetings with President Roosevelt, myself
and President Eisenhower, the Soviet leaders entered into
solemn agreements and commitments which could have led
to world cooperation for peaqe, but which have been breached
or ignored. This is how the cold war started and how it con
tinued. We tried everything we could to prevent this cold war.
Only. Khrushchev and the Kremlin can put an end to
the cold war. Only they can bring the thaw. Khrushchev said
it would take time to work out changes. One of the first
things he might do while in Peiping is to bring. about a
change in Red China's approach to international conduct. I
hope there is some substance to the dispatches from Red
China that Khrushchev is urging Mao Tse-tung to adopt a
course of caution and moderation. And on Khrushchev's re
turn to Moscow, let us see what he does to ease the tensions.

Tass said the Soviet space
laboratory came within 4,375
miles, of the moon at 5:16

p.s.t.). This was its closest
point.
Less than three hours later,

rocket was ' 9,375 miles from

ing a giant arc toward earth
Signals Picked Up
' Tass said "the movement of
the rocket is taking place
strictly in accordance . with
the present orbit."
Observers at Britain's Jod-
rell Bank Observatory report
ed earlier that the Soviet
rocket "certainly" had reach
ed the .vicinity of the moon
today. Jodrell experts said
they had picked up signals
from Lunik ni for a two-hour
period this afternoon, a time
which coincided with ihe Tass
figures.'' They -reported?-these
signals were received "from
a fixed direction in the sky
close to the Russian-predicted
position for the probe."
Tass was less firm today
than it had been previously
in saying that . Lunik III is
carrying a camera to photo
graph the moon.

Today,, in response to ques
tions ' by newsmen, a Tass
spokesman said the statement
that the far side of the moon
would be photographed, "rep
resented the individual be
liefs of one of our correspond
ents." Officials at Jodrell Observ
atory said signals from' the
Russian rocket today were
quite different from A those
heard Monday. Russian sci
entists had said earlier that
the rocket would transmit a
new type of signal as it began
to go around the moon. The
British scientists refused to
speculate on what the chang

A fact-finding board ap
pointed by the President went
into session in Washington

likely it would complete its
report by Wednesday night.
It is that report on which
the President will base a de

their jobs for an 80-day per

A union spokesman said
We don't like it, but I guess
the men will have to go back

Alexander Chopin, chair
man of the New York Ship

New York waterfront employ
ers in the contract dispute,
said he felt sure a contract
could be agreed to before the
expiriation of any injunctive
period but, "we had hoped we
could finish up a contract be
fore this; this is just post
poning the inevitable."
Parties Summoned
Both parties have been sum
moned to appear before the
fact-finding board in Wash
ington Wednesday to present
their cases, if they so desire,
it was saidl Federal mediators,
who have failed in attempts
to bring the parties together
since the strike started last
Thursday, also will be pres
ent. The International Long
shoremen's Association had
agreed to extend its - New
York port contract for further
talks at its expiration date
last Thursday. When ILA loc

to reach similarly satisfactory
agreements however, the en

New York employers have

The primary questions are
how long the bones had been

were those of an Indian or

they were found was reported
to be a former Indian camp

shells in particular
have been found in the vi

bones, according to the report.
