Set Up Inunediately
Its central feature calls for es-

oud be set up almost immed-
tely to begin preliminary studies

If the Western plan wins the

NIKITA KHRUSHCHEV
. delays Paris visit

Name New
Khrushchev
Tour Dates
PARIS WA')-- The French and
Soviet governments yesterday set
new dates -- March 23-April 3 --
f or a shortened visit to :France by
Premiere Nikita S. Khrushchev.
The announcement followed re-
assuring reports from Soviet am-
bassador Serge Vinogradov of
progress by the 65-year-old Soviet
Premier in his bout with the flu,
French officials said.
It cut short vague speculation
that Khrushchev might be sicker
than admitted or suffering a dip-
lomatic illness. French officials
and most of the press discounted
from the start that he was using
a dodge to call off the trip or
force any drastic revision of
plans.
.Khrushchev originally had
planned to arrive in Paris today
for a 14-day swing around the
country and talks with President
Charles de Gaulle before the East-
West summit in may. The new
schedule cuts two days off the
visit.
Sunday, with some welcoming
flags already flying, Moscow an-
nounced that Khrushchev was
down with a case of "khrip"
(grippe), and that it would be im-
possible for him to keep the Trues-
day date. He returned March 8
from, an exhausting 25-day expe-
dition to India, Burma, Indonesia
and Afghanistan. He apparently
fell victim about Friday to the
same bug that has afflicted thou-
sands of other Muscovites.
As usual Moscow was giving no
details on his sickness or where
he was being treated, but he was
believed to be at his home outside
the city.
Under the new arrangements,
Khrushchev will end his visit only
two days before de Gaulle is off
for London for talks with the
British.
The shortened and revised
schedule, necessitated by Khrush-
chev's illness and de Gaulle's
plans, made hash of careful min-
ute-by-minute plans drawn by
the French.

By PHILIP SHERMAN
Two University experts on dis-
armament yesterday appraised the
West's new disarmament plan, and
added views on the Geneva con-
ference in general.
They were guarded about
chances for the conference's suc-
cess, and Prof. Singer suggested
weaknesses in the Western plan.
"It's useful that the West has
gotten together a reasonably co-
herent proposal, but the trouble
is it seems to have made no serious
effort to meet the previous objec-
tions of the Soviets," Prof. J.
David Singer of tie political sci-
ence department argued.
The Russians object to Western
insistence on "foolproof inspection
and control prior to arms reduc-
tion."
Instead, Prof. Singer said, "the
West sought to settle for a control
system which will have a high
probel'1ity of deterring any at-
tempt at evasion."
"The United States is quite ab-
surd in demanding a system which
will identify and detect every sin-
gle underground test down to the
five kiloton level.
"A system requiring so many
inspection sites, such freedom of
access, so many people running
around just becomes impractical."
Prof. Singer suggests an ade-
quate system would be one that
only "makes the chances of being
caught high enough so tests won't
be made. "Resulting world opinion
would be an effective check.
"The Russians don't want the
East-West struggle to break into
the military arena . . . they're
playing for the grandstands.
"Instead of trust and confidence,
let's assume they're reasonably
sane and intelligent. Though our
goals are in sharp conflict, they
are not going to go out and com-
mit national suicide.
"Trust is almost irrelevant in
disarmament negotiations."
Prof. Singer said it will be two
weeks before indications of the
conference's course will be appar-
ent; Prof. Inis L. Claude of the
political science department went
further.
He said he was pessimistic about
definite accomplishments by the

WASHINGTON A)- The
House, in its first major actions
on the civil rights bill yesterday
killed two proposals by President
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Knocked out on points of order
raised by Southerners were:
1) A proposed amendment to
set up a 15-member Presidential
commission with the aim of as-
suring Negroes employment rights
on jobs under government con-
tracts.
2) Another amendment that
would have authorized federal
grants and technical assistance
to communities or states trying
to desegregate their schools.
Meanwhile, in the Senate, the
Administration took a setback on
a vote of 85-1 to make the bomb-
ing penalties in the civil rights
bill apply to every type of bomb-
ing or arson.
The first House decisions were
not clearcut divisions on civil
rights legislation itself.
Rep. Emanuel Celler (D-N.Y.)
offered the government jobs
amendment and Rep. Howard W.
Smith (D-Va.) immediately ob-
jected that it was alien to the bill.
The presiding officer, Rep.
Francis E. Walter (D-Pa.), sus-
tained Smith's point of order,
agreeing that it was out of order.
Then Celler appealed the ruling
and the House upheld Walter
157-67.
The House traditionally sus-
tains its presiding officer. Celler's
appeal was the first of its kind in
years.
On the second amendment re-
jection, the one dealing with fed-
eral aid for desegregating areas,
again the point was made, and
Rivalry Keen
To Withdraw,
From State
LANSING (M--A move to split
Michigan into two states and to
provide "two nice seats in the
United States Senate" is before
the state legislature.
A resolution offered Friday by
Rep. George Montgomery, a De-
troit Democrat, would make
Wayne (Detroit) County a sep-
arate state and give it the name
of Michigan.
The rest of the state, under
Montgomery's bill, would become
"Water Wonderland."
Rep. Louis Mezzano, a Democrat
from Michigan's Upper Peninsula,
took exception to Montgomery's
plan, saying that "the Upper
Peninsula shuld get first crack at
leaving," because "we've been try-
ing to for 50 years."

Dirksen protested that was go-
ing far beyond the realm of civil
rights. He said the Justice De-
partment said it didn't want the
amendment.
Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.)
author of the amendment, said
Congress- should recognize that a
'man has a civil right to be secure
on his own property.
Another point at issue Is
whether the House should retain
a provision authorizing fines and
prison terms for those who use
force or threats to defeat school
desegregation orders.
Last Friday the Senate threw
the provision out, after first
broadening it to apply the penal-
ties to cases involving all sorts
-of court orders, not just school
matters.
Atty. .Gen. William P. Rogers
has taken the stand that the pro-
vision is vitally needed to carry
out school orders "without mob
violence and without the necessity
of using federal troops."
A foremost northern advocate
of civil rights legislation, Sen.
Kenneth B. Keating (R-N.Y.),
conceded that "we have lost
ground in the early skirmishes."
Those who want a far-reaching
new law have some reason for pesa
simism, he told the Senate, but
their losses may be made up "if
we redouble our efforts."

SEN. RICHARD RUSSELL
... delays rights bill
sustained that the amendment
was out of order.
There wasn't even any try on
the second time to overrule the
decision.
In both cases, it was held that
the amendments were not pertin-.
ent to the main purpose of the
bill - basically the assurance of
voting rights.
The House turned next to the
key proposal for a system of ref-
erees to be appointed by federal
courts to help Southern Negroes
vote in areas where they say they
are barred, by local officials.
There was a possibility the
Senate might later throw out the
whole section on bombings.
In a similar situation last week,
the Senate voted to make resist-
ance to every sort of federal court
order - not just orders on school
segregation -- subject to criminal
penalties.
Organized labor objected to this
and the Senate ditched the whole
thing.
The bill as it stands would pro-
vide penalties of up to five years
in prison and a $5,000 fine for
crossing a state or national bor-
der in an effort to escape punish-
ment for bombing or burning
"any building, structure, facility
or vehicle."
