4U Summit Date Debated; Diplomatic Visits Delay Plans for SpringMeet 94e irt igttn Daitl Second Front Page November 24, 1959 Page 3 By The Associated Press French and American diplo- matic sources said yesterday dates somewhere between the last week in April and the end of May ap- pear to be logical for an East- West summit conference. r However, in London, diplomatic observers said yesterday the start- ing date for East-West summit talks keeps receding at a fast pace. They even suggested it might become impossible to ar- range such a top-level meeting in 1960. This argument appears in sev- eral of Britain's most carefully edited Sunday and daily news- papers, including the usually well informed "Sunday Observer" and "The London Times." Dates Not Proposed And the French and American sources -note, the Western Big Three have not reached the point of fixing dates to e proposed to the Soviet Union. There is general agreement that a summit session cannot be held before late in April since Soviet Washington Roundup By The Associated Press Secretary-General Paul Henri Spaak is pressing a campaign to broaden the 15-nation North At- lantic Alliance into an organiza- tion which would coordinate for- eign policies of member govern- ments. Spaak's ideas, voiced privately and somewhat more cautiously in public during a visit, have aroused considerable interest as well as support among representatives of various nations. One of Spaak's key suggestions is understood to be that special Atlantic Pact committees be cre- ated to study and develop broad policy lines for dealing with Afri- ca, the Middle East and Asia. Recommendations agreed upon then would be forwarded to the full Atlantic Pact membership fr guidance of their governments in dealing with these regions. United States, Britain, France, Italy and West Germany would be on all these committees with oth- er countries being added, depend- ing on their special responsibility in the region. Belgium and Portugal, both of which have colonial possessions in Floods Hit N orthwest SEATTLE (IP)-Western Wash- ington's worst floods in 26 years crested last night after turning lowlan areas into inland seas and virtually cutting off land travel across the Cascade Mountains. New trouble was dispelled as a high pressure ridge shunted aside another rainstorm moving in from the Pacific. No more rain is ex- pected before tomorrow. Rivers crested at record or near- record heights after wreaking havoc in lower valleys. Hundreds fled their homes or were snatched tosafety by helicopters, power- boate and amphibious craft. River Valleys Flooded Vast areas of the Snohomish, Snoqualmie and Green River Val- leys within a radius of about 50 miles of Seattle were under water. The loss is expected to reach millions. No exact estimate could be made until rivers start to sub- side. .Giant mud and rock slides loosened by the deadly mixture of too much rain, wind and warmth rumbled down in the Cascades last night and early today, blocking main cross-state highways and rail lines. Maroonedin Train Ninety passengers were ma- rooned 10 hours in a stlled train * before gtting out to safety. Heavily traveled four-lane US 10, the state's principal East-West route, had a 300-foot chunk gouged out by the wild Snoqual- mie. First estimates were it would be closed 30 days but tonight the state highway department said one-way travel would be possible by Friday. Africa, would be members of the African committee. Greece and Turkey would be put on the Brit- ish committee and the Nether- lands on the Far East group. * * * Atty. Gen. William P. Rogers yesterday brought anti-trust ac- tion against a large steel industry group, charging it with conspiring to eliminate competition =in the steel industry and in distribution of steel bars for reinforced con- crete work in seven western states. The suit, filed in the federal district court at San Francisco, named as defendants:, The Western Reinforcing Steel Fabricators Assn,, headquartered at Oakland, Calif.; 12 reinforcing steel bar fabricators; and six steel companies, including Bethlehem. Steel Co. of Bethlehem, Pa. and U.S. Steel Corp., Pittsburgh. The suit alleged the fabricat- ing companies named had induced the steel mills to refuse to sell re- bars direct to general contractors for processing on Iarge construc- tion jobs, had allocated rebar fab- ricating among themselves and had adopted uniform contract terms. * * * President Dwight D. Eisenhow- er's decision yesterday to name Edward Page Jr. as United States minister to Bulgaria ends an al- most 10-year diplomatic vacuum between the two nations. Relations, between the United States and the small Communist country in the Balkans, broken of- in February 1950, resumed last March 27. Eisenhower announced the appointment of career diplo- mat Page yesterday before head- ing back to Washington from Augusta, Ga. Premier Khrushchev is due in France March 15 for about two weeks and de Gaulle has accepted an invitation to visit Britain from April 5 to 8. Western consulta- tions after the Khrushchev visit, plus t e c hn I c a 1 arrangements, could occupy another two weeks. De Gaulle May Visit There is also a possibility de' Gaulle will visit the United States toward the middle of May and that would push back the summit date further. Yet in London as well as else- where Prime Minister Harold A. Macmillan's government still pro- fesses optimism. The Prime Min- ister's office and the Foreign Of- fice characterize summit doubts as speculation and deny that stories on this subject were based on official inspiration. Anxious for Summit Clearly Macmillan remains as anxious to go to the summit as ever. In fact he would have pre- ferred getting such a meeting ar- ranged for this fall. But this optimism is the public line. Obviously government circles have begun to fear that the longer a summit meeting is delayed the more complicated and difficult: the whole project becomes. The summit doubts generally fall into two groupings. Seek Acceptable Date The first has to do with find- ing an acceptable date. The en- gagement books of the world's po- litical leaders already are full. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev might lose interest if the project is stalled much beyond the middle of next June. By then President Eisenhower's authority would be somewhat overshadowed by the looming presidential election and Khrushchev, so this argument goes, might prefer to do his talk- ing with the next President. Debate Communist Feelings The second group of doubts are based on estimates of what is go- ing on inside the Communist camp. According to this theory Khrushchev is not nearly as anxious for a summit now as he appeared to be a couple of months ago. Signs have appeared that Com- munist China's Mao Tse-Tung is putting on all the pressure he can in Moscow to prevent an accord between the Soviet Union and the Western powers. Red China, it is assumed, wants to prevent any summit negotiations in which she would not take part. THE TUMULT AND THE SHOUTING DIES-And several years later, in a serenely sculpted United Nations building, the question of .Communist Hungary comes up for debate. UN1 Overrules Soviet Veto To Hold Debate on Hungary } } V A Y . L UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (A') - The united Nations Steering Com- mittee brushed aside yesterday So- viet objections and ova.. whelm- ingly approved a United States request for full General Assembly debate on conditions in Commu- nist Hungary. The Soviet Union contended that another airing of the Hun- garian question here would de- stroy the "spirit of Camp David." This was a reference to the talks last September between President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Pre- mier Khrushchev on relaxation of East-West tensions. Discusses Conference But United States Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge told the As- sembly nothing occurred at Camp David "that requires us to pass by in silence on the other side of the street when a brutality is com- mitted." He added: "What is against the spirit of Camp David are acts which turn a brave little country into a moaning colonialist slum.' The vote in the powerful Steer- ing Committee was 15 to 3 in fa- vor of the United States proposal. The lopsided vote foreshadowed victory when the action comes be- fc. the 82-nation Assembly for ratification. Calls Munro Pu~et Vasily V. Kuznetsov, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister, de- nounced Sir Leslie Munro of New Zealand, the UN's Special Repre- sentative of Hungary, as a puppet who was performing dirty work for certain Western circles desir- ous of keeping the cold war alive. Munro has prepared a special report for the Assembly on Hun- gary. Kuznetsov described anti-Com- r unists in and outside of Hun- gary as "monsters." He said they were aligned with those who wo:k against a relaxation in interna- tional relations as evidenced by the Eisenhower-Khrushchev talks. Recalls Conference Events. Lodge recalled that he was at the Camp David conference, and nothing happened there that "er- quires us to condone evil," or "to prevent us from acting like hu- man beings made in the image of God when cruelty is being prac- ticed. "The spirit of Camp David was not intended to be a soporic to the peoples in the democracies to put them asleep in the belief that this dangerous world - which we all hope some day may be safe - has actually been made safe." He issued this challenge to Communist leaders to show the true spirit of Camp David: "Why don't you take down the barbed wire and the observation towers which now divide the poor Hungarians from Austria and the free world and which have turned Hungary into a vast human cage?" . HAVANA (A') --Cuba's organized labor rejected a Communist bid yesterday and elected an all-Cas- tro slate as its ruling committee. It also invited workers of other countries to join in a new Latin American "Revolutionary Labor Confederation." This could develop into an effcrt by followers of Pre- mier Fidel Castro to export his labor policies t hr oueghoaut the Americas ast as they already have tried to sell his political program to his neighbors. Re-Elect Castro's Choice A 16-hour marathon closing ses- sion of the Congress of the Cuban Confederation of Labor ended with the re-election of David Salvador -handpicked by Castro to boss the nation's 2%/2 million union workers -as Secretary General. The bearded Cuban Premier per- sonally appeared before the 3,000 delegates late Saturday night and made a fiery speech continuing into Sunday morning demanding unity, after a disciplined Com- munist minority of about 150 put up a hard fight for representation on the Executive Committee. Salvador Chooses Committee With Castro's blessing, the dele- gates finally permitted Salvador to pick his own committee. Composed exclusively of representatives of Castro's 26th of July movement, without any outright members of the Communist organization, the committee was approved by a roaring voice vote. It included several former Com- munists and sympathizers, how- ever. Castro's lashing address ap-. peared to have crushed the more strongly anti-Communist elements as well as the Communists. Becquer Not Appointed Absent from the list of com- mitteemen was Conrado Becquer, head of the powerful Sugar Work- ers Union and the most active and outspoken anti-Communist in the Cuban Labor Movement. His union has 500,000 men and is the largest in Cuba. On the other hand, the new Sec- retary for Foreign Relations on the committee, a key post in contact with labor abroad, is Odon Alvarez de la Campa. De la Campa, who lost both forearms in the Cuban REJECTS COMMUNIST BID: Organized Labor Picks Castro Slate revolution, is regarded as one of the closest collaborators with Communist labor elements in Cuba. Votes To Withdraw. The delegates set the stage for a new Cuban-inspired Latin Amer- ican Labor organization by voting to withdraw from the Inter Amer- ican Regional Organization of La- bor (GRIT), an affiliate of the anti - Communist International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFrU). GRIT was as- sailed as a pawn of "American imperialism which has consistently supported all dictators." Disc-Jockeys Quit Stations NEW YORK A'})-A wave of resignations hit the spinning world of disc jockeys yesterday as radio and television s t a t i on s pressed their own investigations' of Payola. In New York, WNEW - T V dropped Alan Freed. In Detroit, Don McLeod resigned from WJBK the third performer to leave that station in 36 hours. In Philadel- phia, Joe Niagara resigned from his job spinning records for WIBG Radio. Networks and some individual stations, taking a cue from Con- gressional probers, have started investigations of Payola, the pay- ments by record companies or other sources to disc jockeys for plugging certain records. Freed, who specializes in rock 'n roll, repeated his denials that he ever accepted payments for record playing. Station WNEW and the performer said after a conference that his contract was being ter- minated "by mutual agreement." Freed was fired last week by radio station WABC after refus- ing to sign a statement denying. acceptance of any Payola. He de- nied taking any money, but claimed the statement, asked by the ABC network of its disc jockeys, was a slur on his in- tegrity.' Communist Sp otcFlees Here Key Polish Seeks U .S. , WASHINGTON (?)-A key Po- lish officer who may have inside knowledge of Communist spying operations around the world has fled to the United States with his family. The State Department said yes- terday that Col. Pawel Monet has asked asylum and that his appli- cation to remain in this countr3 is being processed "in the usua manner." Officials said Monat's request probably will be granted Otherwise, the department kepi mum about the defection of Mo- nat, who reportedly was Intelli- gence Chief of Polish military at- taches in embassies and other dip- lomatic missions around the globe Brings Strategic Information In crossing over from the Com- m u n i s t world, Monat likely brought with him considerable in- formation his strategic job gave him about Polish military intelli. gence. Since the Soviet bloc works so closely together, Monat may also know much bearing on Rus- sia. In acknowledging that Mona and his family had arrived in this country, State Department press officer Lincoln White confirmed a report carried by "The New York Times" yesterday. Surrendered in Vienna Writing from Vienna, "Times' reporter A. M. Rosenthal said Mo- nat had turned himself over to United States representatives :It Vienna. While the State Department was vague about when Monat de- fected, Rosenthal's story said it happened last summer "at a timi when a crisis was birewing in Poland." "It had political ramiflcation ... a result of economic and po- litical problems," the "Times' story said. Rosenthal wrote that Monat's defection to the West was one o! the incidents that helped con- vince Polish Communist Chie: Wladyslaw Gomulka that "Com- munist rule in Poland was rotting because of a lack of 'discipline and that tougher men anti tough- er ways were needed ..:.
