COUP
In The-

Foreign affairs:
Secretary of Stale Dulles is in
London, where he is conferring
witn members of the Baghdad
Pact specifically Britain, Turkey,
Iran and Pakistan. The purpose of
the Baghdad Pact is to provide
ludumocK to Keep Kussia from
getting into the Middle East. Con
sult your map for details.
Dulles is reported to have told
inese nations the U.S. would be
wmine to join Russia in Dutlimr an
embargo on arms to the Middle
nasi excepting, of course. Tur
key, Iran and Pakistan whnso inh
k to provide the roadblock to stop
Is Dulles wasting words?
I suppose so.
But at a conference, especially
diplomatic conference, one has
to talk. One purpose of diplomacy
Is to keep everybody talking until
the immediate danger of SHOOT
ING passes.
More foreign affairs stuff:
Diplomats in Washington say
(his morning that the latest Soviet
blasts against the U.S. do not nec
essarily mean a rejection of Pres
ident Eisenhower's newest condi
tions for a summit talk. (Soviet
newspapers, which say only what
they are TOLD to say, have been
shouting that the U.S. is "procras
tinating" in an effort to head off
the summit meeting.)
What the diplomats mean is that
Russia's job is to blast us ver
bally at every turn of the road.
As long as she blasts us with
words, instead of with bombs,
there isn't too much to worry
about.
Her VERBAL blasts are apt to
mean that everything is normal.
Here's something more inter
esting: '
These Washington diplomats also
EXPRESS HOPES THAT U.S.
TROOPS MAY BE WITHDRAWN
BEFORE OR DURING THE PRO
POSED MID-EAST TALKS.
I'm sure we private citizens can
II join in that hope.
Maybe we had to send the troops
In the first place. Maybe the situ
ation was so menacing that we had
to send the troops to keep shooting
from starting RIGHT THEN.
Things like that fall into the
category of restricted information
Intelligence services can't always
tell everything they know. But
private, unofficial, everyday Amer
icans are pretty certain in their
own minds that the quicker we can
get our troops out of the Middle
East the better it will be.
Why'' -: ....
Let's put it this way:
Suppose Egypt or Turkey, or
Iran, or Britain, or France, ANY
foreign country had sent troops
to LITTLE ROCK.
We'd have been MAD. We'd have
been mad all the way through.
We'd have had reason to be mad.
Sending troops into a foreign coun
try is ticklish business.
Army Levies
Draft Call
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The
Army will draft 11.000 men in
September, 1.000 more than in
each of the previous three months,
the Defense Department an
nounced today.
A Pentagon spokesman said the
slight increase was within normal
limits and had nothing to do with
the Middle East crisis.
He pointed out there has been
no increase in authorized man
power ceilings for the armed
forces. The September call, like
those for previous months, is the
number considered necessary to
meet Army needs "after allowan
ces have been made for enlist
ments and rcenlistments," he
said.
The September call will bring
to 2,363.430 the total number of
men drafted since the Korean
War started eight years ago.
Only the Army uses draftees.

QUESTION OF A U.N. MEETING of the, top four world leaders still was unanswered
today. President Eisenhower had called for a big power meeting under the auspices
of the U.N. Security Council. Russia's Khrushchev, however, indicated that he may call
for a meeting in Geneva outside the United Nations as requested by French Premier
Charles de Gaulle. Shown here are the four heads of state against the U.N. Security
Council backdrop where they may eventually meet to discuss the Middle East situa-tion.
Russians May Repeat
Call For Geneva Meet
By WILLIAM C. SEXTON

LONDON UPI Soviet Pre
mier Nikita Khrushchev may
seize upon Gen. Charles de
Gaulle's reluctance toward a sum
mit meeting in New York to re
turn to his original proposal for
a five-power conference in Gene
va, diplomatic sources said today.
The sources pointed to Sunday's
charges m the official Soviet press
of American "procrastination" on
the projected summit talks and
suggested that De Gaulle's posi
tion gave the Soviets the oppor
tunity to bounce back with fur
ther maneuvers.
It was generally believed in
Western circles that the argu
ments set forth in the Soviet press
foreshadowed Khrushchev's ex
pected reply to Eisenhower's let
ter of July 25 in which the Presi
dent proposed that a meeting on
the Middle East crisis be set up
by the United Nations Security
Council In New York.
Diplomatic sources in Washing

press charges meant that Khrush
chev would reject Eisenhower's
latest conditions for a summit
meeting. They recalled similar
Russian attacks were made on
early proposals for top-level talks

East trouble began.
But Western observers in Lon

They appear to have an excel

Explorer IV
Orbiting Amid
Deadly Rays
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Explor
er IV whirled around the world
today with its important radio n-
nals "coming in wonderfully" and
sending; back valuable information
on deadly radiation.
The largest U.S. satellite was
scneduied to pass over Russia
again today. It shot across Soviet
skies Sunday marking the first ap
pearance of an American earth
moon over that country.
The Naval Research Laboratory
said the satellite's course today
also will take it over Mints in
China; New Zealand, French Gui
ana, England, Australia, Mongol
ia, France, Yemen. Japan and
Uruguay.
A spokesman at the Army's
Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville.
Ala., said officials were delighted
with the performance of Explor
er IV.
It whirled about the earth every
110 minutes and carried what are
believed to be the most delicate
instruments ever devised for radi
ation detection. The 38.4.1-pound
hullet-shaped satellite may have a
life expectancy of about five
years, officials said.
The deadly radiation band the
satellite is gathering data on cotild i
stall human space travel for years
unless its problems are solved.
This country has given the In
ternational Committee of the In
ternational Geophysical Year a
description of the instruments in
the satellite as well as the fre
quencies on which its radio trans
mitters are broadcasting.
This should enable Russian sci-i
enlists as well as scientists from
other nations to interpret the data
being sent back just the same as
American scientists are doing.
The Army fired the baby moon
into orbit in a northeasterly direc
tion with a Jupiter C rocket from
Cape Canaveral, Fla., Saturday.
In space, it joined the Army's
Explorer I, the Navy's Vanguard
I, and Russia's Sputnik III in an
elliptical course around the globe.
The satellite's orbit ranged from
162.9 miles above the earth at its
nearest point to 1,373 3 miles at
its most distant point. It was trav
eling at speeds ranging from 14,
000 to 18,000 miles an hour.
Explorer IV was more than sev
en pounds heavier than the Army
Explorer I and more than 30
pounds heavier than the Navy's
liny but higher-flying Vanguard I.
But it was small compared with
Russia's 2.919-pound Sputnik III.

Baghdad Pact
By JOSEPH W. GRIGG
United Press International
LONDON (UPD The United
States and Britain reaffirmed
their support for the "northern
tier" Baghdad alliance today as
a vital bulwark to keep Russia out
of the strategic Middle East.
U. S. Secretary of Stale John
Foster Dulles was reported to
have found pact members far
calmer, in the light of Middle
East events, than he had antici
pated. He told the leaders the
United States does not plan to join
as a full member at present.
The prime ministers of Britain.
Turkey, Iran and Pakistan met at
Lancaster House in the fifth coun
cil session of the Baghdad Pact.
Iraq, the fifth member, was not
represented.
Dulles sat in on the talks as
an observer the United States
is not a lull member although it
is represented on the more im
portant committees.
Iraq has not pulled out of the
alliance as yet. But the leaders
of the new revolutionary regime
are expected to do so shortly and
both the United States and Brit
ain have written her off as an ef
fective member.
The sessions will be secret after
the brief public opening.
The meeting, originally set for
three days, was cut down because
of the pressure of other interna
tional business. Dulles planned to
fly back to Washington tonight.
Dulles conferred all day Sunday
with the other leaders. He met for
four hours with British Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan and
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd.
Then he conferred separately with
Iran's Prime Minister Manou-
chehr Eghbal and Prime Minister
Firoz Khan Noon of Pakistan. At
'working dinner" Sunday night
he met again with all the minis
ters and Turkish Premier Adnan
Mendercs.
Authoritative sources said Mac
millan ' and Dulles assured the
others that Britain and the United
Slates agreed the Baghdad Pact
should continue in existence, re
gardless of the events in Iraq.
Ike Requests
Bigger Limit
WASHINGTON (AP) Presi
dent Eisenhower asked Congress
Monday for an eight billion dol
lar temporary increase in the na
tional debt limit. It would raise
the ceiling to 288 billion.
Eisenhower also requested that
the permanent statutory debt limit
be raised 10 billion dollars to 285
billion.
The President made his request
in identical letters to Vice Presi-i
dent Nixon, the Senate's presiding
officer, and House Speaker Sam
Rayburn ID-Texl. He said the
Treasury Department and the
Budget Bureau have advised him
I hat contemplated revenues and
spending for the current fiscal
year make it necessary to request
a debt ceiling increase.
"Accordingly," Eisenhower said,
"the administration is at this time
asking the Congress to increase
the regular statutory debt limit
to 285 billion dollars and also to
provide an additional temporary
increase of Ihree billion dollars
to run through Jure 30, I960."
The present temporary ceiling
of 280 billion dollars is authorized
through next June.

But Death Accidental
BEIRUT. Lebanon (UPI) A
U.S. Marine killed Sunday was ac-
cidenlally shot hy one of his own
buddies while on an unauthorized
visit to a small village, a Marine
spokesman said today. It had been
reported he was killed by a rebel
sniper.
The Marine, a private first
clqss who was not identified, was
killed by a single bullet through
the head around noon Sunday. He
was in front of his company posi
tion south of the Beirut Interna
tional Airport. His body was
brought back from an olive grove
by other Marines.
The Marines were reported
"fighting mad" when news circu
lated that the shooting was done
by rebel sniptrs in the hills.
But Marine spokesmen warned
at jumping at conclusions until
an official investigation into the
shooting had been completed.
Today, a spokesman announced:
"Four Marines left the airport
;rea on an unauthorized visit to
a small village about half a mile
from the airport perimeter Sun
day. At some time during the vis
it while climbing over a seven-
foot wall, the revolver of one
Marine banged against the wall
and discharged a bullet which en
tered the head of the man below
him and killed him instantly."
The men involved have request
ed counsel and the investigation
is continuing, the spokesman add
ed. The Marine was the fourth cas
ually suffered by American forces
in Lebanon and the second to he
killed by the bullets of a buddy.
A Marine Corps, spokesman

blaming rebels for the shooting.

Defense Head
Says Weapons
More Deadly
WASHINGTON (UPD Defense
Secretary Neil H. McElroy has
informed Congress some nuclear
weapons in the nation's stockpile
have been altered in such a way
as to increase radioactive fallout
in- a local area. But he denied
this was done deliberately to
make the weapons "dirtier."
in a letter to Chairman Richard
B. Russell (D-Ga.) of the Senate
Armed Services Committee. Mc
Elroy said some nuclear weapons
had been given new fuses to per
mit low - level bursts when
needed to destroy an airfield with
a giant crater, or to demolish
other installations such as sub
marine pens.
He said low level explosions
pick up dirt and make it radio
active, thus increasing local dead
ly fallout. But he said total fall
out was not increased.
Sen. Clinlon P. Anderson (D
N. M.), member and former
chairman of the Senate - House
Atomic Energy Committee, en.
gaged in a heated dispute earlier
this year with Lewis L. Strauss,
now retired as chairman of the
Atomic Energy Commission, on
this subject.
Anderson contended the military
had deliberately withdrawn atomic
weapons from the stockpile to
make them "dirtier." Strauss
hotly denied this and so did the
military.
Anderson said today, "I am
very glad they finally confirmed
what I said. I have seen so
many weapons already altered I
was sure they would some day
have, to say so."
He said he was not objecting to
such alteration, "It is the re
sponslbility of the military to
have all types of weapons for
specific purposes," he said in an
interview. "It bothered me that
they kept talking about clean
bombs as if that were the only
thing they were interested in."

The space riders were aloft

breaking by mere than two hours
the previous mark set last year
by Lt. Col. Davis Simons of the
Air Force.
The experimental flight set two
important firsts. It was the first
trip into the stratosphere in a
pressurized gondola. The interior
of the aluminum gondola main
tained sea level pressure through
out the flight. In previous flights
the balloonists used pressurized
suits which limited their actions
aloft. .
The balloonists also had the dis
tinction of producing the first live
television "show" from the sub
stratosphere. The gondola was
equipped with a tiny TV camera
which enabled viewers in the
Minneapolis St. Paul area to
see the interior of the gondola.
Ross and Lewis said the pres
surized cabin made the flight
"very comfortable," although
each slept only one hour during
the trip.
