Eisenhower and Harry S. Truman met yesterday when Eisenhower paid a visit to the Truman Library in Independence, Mo. This was the first time either one had called on the other since Eisenhower's first inauguration in 1953.

' SPECIAL SESSION: New York GOP Passes District Reapportionment WASHINGTON (P)-The Ken- nedy Administration warily scru- tinized yesterday what Moscow dispatches described as new So- viet proposals on Berlin and Ger- many. The news dispatches were the only basis for examination by State Department . specialists. It was understood that American Ambassador Llewellyn Thompson in Moscow had not been ap- proached on any Soviet proposals --new or otherwise. No Confirmation Sir David Ormsby Gore, the British envoy to Washington, said he found nothing in diplomatic dispatches to confirm the Moscow report. News reports listed four points as the heart of the Kremlin's thinking on how to end the pres- ent stalemate on Berlin. They were, briefly: 1) A four-power agreement on a "new status" for West Berlin, guaranteeing the freedom of its inhabitants and free communica- tion between West Berlin and West Germany. 2) East German pledge to the Soviet Union to respect West Ber- lin's new status. Recognize East Germany 3) Western - including West German-recognition of East Ger- man sovereignty, and 4) A peace treaty either with both Germanies, or one between the Soviets and East Germany, to be concluded only after an East-West agreement on the pre- vious three points. An Associated Press story from Moscow yesterday said these pro- posals were dramatically leaked to correspondents in the early hours yesterday morning. See Retreat American officials are anxious to find out what prompted Mos- cow reporters to describe the pro- posals as representing a retreat, a significant departure from pre- vious Russian thinking, or a con- cession.

The session had been called by Republican Gov. Nelson A. Rocke- feller. The reapportionment plan, de- signed to give the GOP a good chance of winning five additional seats in the congressionalelection next year, was described by Sen. Joseph Zaretzki, Democratic min- ority leader, as a "reprehensible gerrymander" the sole purpose of which was to send "seven Repub- lican reactionaries" to Washing- ton to scuttle the Democratic President's program. Rockefeller signed the reappor- tionment bill into law along with two other programs passed at the session-state aid for construction of fallout shelters-in schools and colleges, and special tax exemp- tions and other benefits for New Yorkers on active military duty. The redistricting was necessary because New York lost two eon- gressional seats under the 1960 census. The rate of the state's growth was not as large as that of other states. U.S. Opposes Apartheid .Rule UNITED NATIONS (P) - The United States voiced its opposi- tion to South Africa's race separa- tion policies in strong new terms yesterday. At the same time, however, United States delegate Francis Plimpton said the United States could not support harsh boycott- expulsion measures sought by 30 African-Asian nations and Cuba. But he said he sympathized with those that want them because of South Africa's long defiance of UN appeals to change its apart- heid laws. He told the UN Assembly Spe-' cial Political Committee that "the United States is irrevocably and unalterably opposed to the poli- cies of apartheid. The United States is committed to do its best to persuade South Africa to alter its policies."
