Big 3 Ministers
Hold Cautious
Discussions
Most Explosive
Issues Are Avoided
NEW YORK (UPD-The Big
Throe foreign ministers Satur
day held a cautious and relaxed,
but inconclusive, discussion of
arms control and also touched
on the problem posed by Com
munist China's warlike attitude.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
was host at a "working lunch
eon" for Soviet Foreign Min
ister Andrei Gromyko and Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Lord
Home which lasted about 2'?
hours in Rusk's 35th floor suite
at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
Both sides shied away Irom
talking about the two most ex
plosive issues still troubling
East-West relations Berlin and
Germany diplomatic sources
said.
Keep Cordial Air
There seemed to be a tacit
agreement, informants said, to
slay away for the time being
from explosive subjects likely to
shatler the newly established
era of cordiality brought on oy
the limited nuclear test ban
treaty.
Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khru
shchev's proposal for establish
ment of fixed observation posts
on both sides of the Iron Cur
tain to lessen the danger of sur-j
prise attack came up at the
meeting, diplomats said. How
ever, the discussion was under

agreement. At that time they
agreed to explore the observa
tion post proposal and other dis
armament ideas.
But Saturday's relatively short
session did not get around to
Khrushchev's proposal for an
East-West non-aggression pact,
concerning which the West has
considerable reservations.
The three ministers reviewed
the test ban treaty and deplored
the fact that some countries
particularly Red China, Cuba,
Albania and France have failed
to sign the pact.

At Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) -President
Kennedy concluded a
10,000 mile conservation tour
Saturday with a call for inter
national cooperation in preserv
ing natural and human resourc
es as a means "to promote
world order."
"In a broad sense," he said,
"the lest ban treaty ratified by
the Senate last week also was
a triumph for conservation for
hopefully, it will reduce radio
active pollution of the one re
source all men share, the at
mosphere itself."
The President's prepared
speech was the final one in a
five-day, 11-state expedition bill
ed as a "conservation tour," but
ranging also into the political
areas of taxes, economical re
vival and foreign policy.
His visit here was the first
time an "in-office" President
had visited Las Vegas since
Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated
Hoover dam in 1935.
Kennedy flew here from Whis
keytown, Calif., where he dedi
cated a new reservoir in that
picturesque gold rush locale. He
hailed his administration s rec
ord in picking up the conserva
tion trail he said Republicans
blazed many years ago but
which he implied they strayed
from during the Eisenhower ad
ministration. It was at the Whiskevtown
ceremony that Kennedy almost
casually dropped into his re
marks his belief that the 40-hour
work week will be reduced be
cause of automation.
"We had a 58-hour week, a
48-hour week, a 40-hour week,"
he said. "As machines take
more and more of the jobs of
men, we are going to find the
work reduced, and we are going
to find people wondering what
they should do."
With extra leisure hours, Ken
nedy said it became increasing
ly important that the recrea
tional facilities and natural re
sources of the nation be not
only protected, but extensively
expanded.

protested that her statement
the young American officers

Lodge called Mme. Nhu's
statement "cruel" and "shock

of the young officers had been
killed in Viet Nam while fight
ing the Viet Cong alongsido
South Vietnamese soldiers.
Translation Blamed
The Times of Viet Nam, some
times regarded as spokesman

Mme. Nhu's statement had been
poorly translated and said she
had written letters In the fami

had used the French term "sol

Clouds Hamper
President's View
01 Dunes Area
Jet Circles Over
Rogue Project
By United Press International
Clouds marred President Ken
nedy's glimpse of Oregon s
scenic coastal dunes area Fri
day afternoon but the Chief
Executive's sleek 707 jet circled
the Medford area and got a
bird's eye view of the site of
the Rogue River project.
He flew over those areas on
his way from Tacoma, Wash.,
to Redding Calif. His guides for ,
the journey were Oregon s Dem
ocratic Sens. Wayne Morse and
Maureen Neuberger, and tresn
man Rep. Robert Duncan, in
whose district both areas are
located.
The flight came after an ear
lier 30-minute visit to the Tongua
Point Naval Station near Astoria
at which the President announc
ed plans for Defense Depart
ment and Coast Guard facilities
at the base.
Dunes Project Favored
Duncan told reporters Ken
nedy believes efforts to convert
the dunes to a national seashore
are important and should pro
ceed. , :
But Duncan said Kennedy took
no stand on the differing hills
that have been introduced in
Congress. One bill, sponsored
by Duncan, would take 30 miles
of shore south lrom r lorence
and result in land costs of $1.5
million.
Mrs. Neuberger has proposed
a $10 million plan that would
run 40 miles, all the way to
Coos Bay.
Kennedy viewed the area only
for two or three minutes be
cause clouds closed in over the
dunes.
Saw Sandbanks
But he had a chance to see
the low. silvery sandbanks ris
ing from ttie sea. And he saw,
behind the dunes, the two long,
thin fresh water lakes against
the gray-tan background of tha
Coast Mountain Range. The
lakes, Woahink and Siltcoos,
also figure in the controversy.
Mrs. Neuberger's bill includes
a sizeable amount of land on
their shores.
Taylor and McNamara were
briefed by Vietnamese and
American officers at four places,
including the communist strong
hold in Camau Peninsula at tha
southern tip of the Delta and tha
capital of Long an Province just
south of Saigon.
