Ike Doubts Soviet
Peace Sincerity
Says Russian Regime Has Shown
No Immediate Change In Attitude
WASHINGTON-MA)-President Eisenhower raised a question
yesterday about the sincerity of Soviet peace talk and said that no
overtures have reached him through proper channels.
Kremlin expressions of an intention to seek peaceful settlement
of cold war issues, now that the Russian regime has changed, the
President said, are just as welcome as they are sincere. To that com-
ment at the opening of his fourth presidential news conference, Eisen-
hower quickly added that there is a direct relationship between our
attitude and the Soviet sincerity.

THE RUSSIANS will never be met less than half way, Eisenhower
said, because this administration's purpose will always be to seek

Regents' OK
On Rent Hike
Anticipated
'Increased (costs'
Prompt Action
By BOB JAFFE
The proposed residence hall rent
hike will come up for final approv-
al of the Board of Regents at its
meeting today.
Reliable sources indicated that
the amount of the increase is close
to $50.
*
THE RAISE was first predicted
by Francis C. Shiel, Business Man-
ager of Service Enterprises, at an
Inter-House Council meeting last
month.
The Board of Governors of the
residence halls approved the
hike at their meeting last week.
The Board's action must get
final approval of the Regents be-
fore being put into effect.
The rent raise is said to be due
to anticipated increases in labor
costs and a difficulty in meeting
last semester's bond interest pay-
ments on the residence halls. Oth-
er reasons advanced for the in-
crease were an anticipated rise in
cost of food and a 1951-52 budget
deficit.

Hit by Fire,
Earthquakes
ISTANBUL, Turkey-'P)-From
500 to 1,000 persons were reported
yesterday to have perished in a
violent earthquake and fires which
laid waste a rich farming and
mining region northwest of Bali-
kesir in Western Turkey.
The Interior Ministry announc-
ed last night that 300 were listed
1 dead and more bodies were being
dragged from fire-blackened ruins
in the village of Yenice alone.
* * *
WITH OFFICIAL reports still
lacking from Cihan, another hard
hit village, two Istanbul news-
papers, Hergun and Yeni Gazette,
put the death toll at 1,000.
Earlier, Red Crescent, the Turk-
ish Red Cross, had estimated the
dead at 500 on the basis of incom-
plete and unconfirmed reports.
Police at Balikesir, 110 miles
southwest of Istanbul, the pro-
vincial capital of the area, listed
38 confirmed dead at two other
towns, Gonen and Manyas.
The shock late Wednesday, said
by the newspapers to have been
the strongest felt in Istanbul in
80 years, caused buildings here to
sway and damaged the city's main
water line. But no other damage
was reported. The pipeline break
left a large section of Istanbul
without water.
President Celal Bayar and sev-
eral leading government officials,
ordered emergency relief to the
stricken area and. set out by mo-
tor cars from Ankara for a per-
sonal visit to the scene. Ankara is
- 250 miles east of Balikesir.
U. S. Ambassador George C.
~ [cGhee and M. L. Dayton, chief
of the U. S. Mutual Security Ad-
ministration in Turkey, flew to
the area by plane from Ankara.

WASHINGTON-Rep. Velde (R-
Ill.) told the House yesterday his
mail strongly favors an investiga-
tion of Communists in religious
fields, but that such a probe "must
necessarily be delayed until some
future date."
The chairman of the House Un-
American Activities Committee
said 1,692 out of 1,755 persons
writing to him about a religious
cent means. We will do anything
that will be promising of results
in that direction. he said.
The President saw no new
threat of war in recent Soviet at-
tacks on Allied ulanes. Serious
as they are, he said, there seems
to be no pattern to them, no dif-
ference of intention, no depar-
tur from the attitude of the past.
As for taking steps in the Unit-
ed Nations to brand Russia a sup-
porter of aggression in Korea, as
proposed by Sen. Knowland (R-
Calif.), President Eisenhower said
he never would tolerate any in-
fringement on American rights but
neither would he want to do any-
thing unnecessarily provocative at
this moment.
And incidentally, the Presi-
dent added, he considers it war
in Korea rather than a police
action, as former President Tru-
man described it.
The President deprecated any
investigation of communism in
churches, spoke out again in favor
of bringing a balanced budget into
view before taxes are cut, and de-
fended his choice of Charles E.
Bohlen as ambassador to Moscow.

Zorin Charges
U.S. Slandered
Soviet Union,
UNITED NATIONS - (M) - So-
viet delegate Valerian A. iorin
charged yesterday that the United
States has slandered Russia by
asking for action in the UN dis-
armament debate to demonstrate
that the Kremlin really wants
peace.
He told the UN's 60-nation po-
litical committee that Russia had
demonstrated her desire for peace
repeatedly in the seven-year-old
talks on disarmament and atomic
control and would continue to do
so.
For this reason, he said, the
questions U.S. delegate Ernest
A. Gross asked yesterday about
Russia's intentions were arti-
ficial.
His answer, made within 24
hours after Gross challenged the
Russians to show their sincerity,
convinced Western delegates that
there was no break in the offing
in the deadlock on disarmament
despite the change in the U.S. and
USSR leaders.
Collision of Car,

ment. One was allegedly in critical
condition.
The smash up occurred when
an eastbound pick-up truck and
an automobile rammed into a
trailer truck carrying a shipment
of bricks.

Reed Hits GOP
Party as 'Fakers'
WASHINGTON - (A) - Presi-
dent Eisenhower raised grave
doubts yesterday that any major
cutbacks can be achieved in former
President Truman's 46 billion dol-
lar defense budget in the face of
continued world tensions.
The President told his news con-
ference he faces tough decisions
in considering whether it may be
possible to trim the huge military
spending, program submitted ' by
his predecessor.
* * *
EISENHOWER said he feels this
country cannot afford to reduce
its combat strength, but does hope
to get more defense for less money
by eliminating waste and dupli-
cation.
The over-all effect of the
President's remarks seemed to
be that it won't be possible to
cut Truman's defense figures
beyond what savings can be
made in administrative and
other economies.
Eisenhower spoke out amid re-
ports that his top advisers are
sharply split on whether (1) The
whopping Truman military pro-
gram should be slashed to bring
about a balanced federal budget,
or (2) the nation's safety demands
even greater defense spending.

That was taken generally to
include President Eisenhower,
who a few hours earlier restated.
his contention that a balanced
budget must be in sight before
taxes can be cut.
Reed had announced plans to go
over the heads of House leaders
and resort to a rarely used special
