Chrushchev Seeks To Gain Summit Talks

WASHINGTON-Soviet Premier
Nikita S.Khrushchev evidently has
lost by a count of 11. to 7 his
proposal to convert the opening
of the 18-nation disarmament
meeting at Geneva next month in-
to a summit conference.
Khrushchev has assured himself
of the probability of a summit
meeting on disarmament later on,
perhaps in May, if he wants a big
East-West conference on that de-
layed compromise schedule.
Top United States officials were
by no means certain yesterday
that he does. They were inclined
to expect instead two other possi-
bilities: first, that he would bring
maximum pressure on Indian
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
and perhaps other neutral leaders
to try to change the score more
in his favor and, second, that he
might if necessary hold a one-
sided summit at Geneva in mid-
March primarily with his own
Communist bloc leaders.
Letter to Kennedy
President Antony Novotny of
Communist Czechoslovakia has
sent a letter to President John F.
Kennedy and other leaders of the
18-nation group arguing anew for
acceptance of Khrushchev's pro-
posal to open disarmament talks
at the summit level. The Novotny
appeal circulated in administra-
tion quarters here yesterday.
The biggest break for Kennedy
and British Prime Minister Har-
old Macmillan in dealing with
Khrushchev's summit proposal
came with disclosure of India's
position yesterday. Defense Min-
ister V. K. Krishna Menon said
Nehru would not be able to go
and that the kind of summit
meeting Khrushchev asked for
would be "nothing but a circus."
Western diplomats said that if
Khrushchev is really determined
to go to Geneva himself he may
make a strong; even threatening
attempt to change the Indian po-
sition. But they also said it is
possible that India's stand would
help discourage Khrushchev's de-
sire for a mid-March summit and
promote the prospects for a ,com-
promise which would lead to a!
summit meetig later on.
Kennedy and Macmillan are
represented as feeling it would not
take much progress in disarma-
ment negotiations to justify their
going to Geneva. They might even
be satisfied if it could be agreed
among the big powers inadvance
that they could make a construc-
tive report to the United Nations
on prospects for future negotia-
tions. The 18-nation group is sup-
posed to report by June 1.
Khrushchev made his proposal
summit last Sunday. Kennedy and
Macmillan replied Wednesday that
they could not accept it. They ap-
pealed to Khrushchev to agree
that foreign ministers should open
negotiations.

After Six Die in Georgetown Riots
GEORGETOWN (AP)-Britain hurried more troops and warships
to this colonial capital yesterday and authorities proclaimed a state
of emergency to curb riots which cost at least six lives.
Fires smoldered in the center of the city, where two days and
nights of rioting, plunder and arson against Prime Minister
Cheddi Jagan's leftist government was estimated to have done $11
million damage.

Walter Die
In Caiornia
By The Associated Press
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - A
pre-dawn heart attack yesterday
ended the almost life-long career
of famed conductor Bruno Walter.
Walter was 85 in September and
his career as a conductor spanned
68 years. Once called the "Master
of Mozart," he.was known also as
one of the great interpreters of
Beethoven.
A Great Loss
(Dean James B. Wallace of the
music school, commenting on
Walter's career, said, "We have
sustained a great loss.
("In his orchestral work, Walter
promoted high standards for Ger-
man orchestral literature. He
brought Gustav Mahler's music in-
to the world and he was an ex-
cellent pianist," Wallace contin-
ued.)
Walter flew across the Atlantic
countless times to conduct the,
great symphony orchestras of Eu-
rope, and was almost as much a
citizen of Austria's Vienna and.
Salzburg as of the United States.
Walter 'Legacy'
He conducted last year at Mahl-
er Centennial performances in
New York and Vienna, and had,
been working long hours In recent
years on what he called his "leg-
acy"-recordings of the works he
gained fame performing with the
world's great orchestras.
Walter was born in Berlin and
gained his early fame in Germany
and Austria, but left when Hitler's
Germany began its persecution of
Jews.
He came to the United States
in 1939 and had lived here 17
years as a; naturalized United
States citizen.
Osmoking ruins, expecting to find
more bodies.
It was feared the death toll
would mount to at least 10. The
radio made frequent appeals for
blood donors for the injured.
The disorders came in the wake
of a general strike which Jagan
said was fomented by big business.
Jagan, an ackiowledged Marxist
who says "the countdown to,revo-'
lution has already begun" in Latin
America, feared his regime was
threatened with overthrow and
called for British troops to help
preserve order.
Military Dispatch
The British Defense Ministry
announced the dispatch of a rifle
company and ambulance unit, a
total of about 131 men, from Eng-
land yesterday. These were to join
three companies of airborne troops
already sent from England and
Jamaica.
An entire battalion of 500 men
was ordered to stand by in bar-
racks in England for possible air-
lift to British Guiana.
Three more British frigates were
due to join the frigates Trou-
bridge and Wizard already in
Guiana.
Workers Protest
The bloodshed erupted from a
strike which began Monday when
thousands of clerks and govern-
ment and business workers walked
out protesting the government's
$58 million austerity budget.
Among other things it increased
import duties and income. taxes
and instituted an excess profits
tax and a compulsory savings

which broke out when a crowd of
20,000 marched on the legislative
building after news was received

Start Group
For Romney
By ROBERT SELWA
Thirty Ann Arbor citizens, in-
cluding several University faculty
members, assembled Friday night
in the city library to organize a
non-partisan campaign for guber-
natorial candidate George Rom-
ney.
They formulated plans and pur-
poses of their expanding organ-
zation, the Washtenaw County
Citizens for Romney (CFR).
Attorney John R. Hathaway,
who called the meeting, stressed
that CFR should not be affiliated
with any political party and that
Democrats, Republicans and inde-
pendents alike may take part.
Responsible to Romney
"This organization should be re-;
sponsible to Romney's state cen-
tral headquarters alone," he said.
Prof. Carl S. Hawkins of the
Law School attended the meeting
and later said that he, a Democrat,
joined CFR because of its avowed
non-partisanship.
"I'm supporting Romney be-
cause I know him personally to be
a man not dominated by any spe-
cial economic interest groups," he
said.
Circulate Petitions
. Hathaway told the meet-
ing that CFR's most crucial re-
sponsibility will be to circulate
nominating petitions. Later the
organization will distribute liter-
ature outlining Romney's positions
and will arrange speeches in
Washtenaw County. CFR hopes to
obtain within a week an office in
Ann Arbor to serve as campaign
headquarters.
Varied Membership
The meeting was attended by an
equal number of women and men
who ranged in age from 20 to 87,
indicating' a variety in CFR's
membership. According to Hath-
away, many CFR members have
been in Romney's non - partisan
Citizens for Michigan.
Although the organization is in-
dependent of the Republican party,
it is expected to see its goal of
gaining a majority of Washtenaw
County votes for Romney realized
because the county traditionally
votes Republican.
FALL SESSION:
Cite Soviet Disdain
Of China UN Entry
PEBBLE BEACH (R) - Soviet Russia does not want Communist
China in the United Nations, in the opinion of UN Ambassador Adlai
E. Stevenson.
"It became apparent during last fall's negotiations that next to
the United States, the people who want Communist China in the UN
least of all are Soviets," Stevenson said yesterday.
Russia's leadership of the Communist world would be "diluted,"
Stevenson said, if the Communist Chinese took a place in the halls of
the United Nations.
Changing Tactics
"We won handily" in keeping the Mainland Chinese government
out of the UN last fall, Stevenson noted, by "changing our tactics and
agreeing to discuss their member-
ship on its merits."
"They make impassioned Battle Riots
speeches, but I'm convinced the
Soviets really don't want the Chi-
nese in the UN," he said. "igeria
