British officials said a conference at the summit is virtually as- sured. They expressed absolute confidence that President Dwight D. Eisenhower, British Prime Minister Anthony Eden, French Pre- mier Edgar Faure and Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin will meet at some neutral spot during the summer to discuss cold war issues. d A member of the United States delegation to the Paris foreign min- isters' conference said Pres.

" TAIPEI, Formosa - Premier O. K. Yui said yesterday Nation- alist China would refuse to quit the offshore islands even if the United States should urge such a move. Yui, who heads the Nationalist Cabinet under President Chiang Kai-shek, emphasized in an inter- view, however, that the United States had made no such request. As for reasons why the Nation- alists feel the offshore islands must be defended, Yui declared: "The defense of Quemoy and Mat-; su is inseparable from the de- fense of Formosa and the Pesca- dores." Colliseum Collapse .. . NEW YORK - The main exhib- it floor of New York's new Coli- seum project on Columbus Circle collapsed with an explosive roar yesterday under a weight of fresh concrete.

But this has not yet been confirmed officially. Top Level Conferences The British said the top-level conf'erence-which they under- stood U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles has recommended to President Ei'senhower-would be held without any fixed program. The foreign ministers then would :deal in detail with such is- sues as German reunification, a European-wide security system and disarmament. Big Three Decision The Big three decision climax- ed a day of diplomatic bustle in Paris in which : 1. The 15-nation North Atlantic Treaty Organization Council con- curred that the United States, Britain and France should seek a Imeeting with the Soviets. 2. The admitted Germany NATO Council formally newly sovereign West to NATO. Set by U.S. To Test New Defense Against Submarines WASHINGTON ()-Tlie United States will explode an atomic de- vice in the Pacific Ocean within the next few days to test new de- fenses against submarines. A brief Defense Department an- nouncement said the underwater blast will take place several hun- dred miles off the West Coast in an area "completely clear of fish- ing grounds and shipping lanes." It did not pinpoint the spot, nor did it give the exact time. There will be no hazard to in- habitants of the mainland or any islands in the Eastern Pacific, the announcement said. The test was organized by the Defense Department and the Atomic Energy Commission with the assistance of preliminary stud- ies made by the Scripps Institutei of Oceanography. There was no mention of observ- ers, foreign or domestic, in the an- I nouncement, and p r e s u m a b l y members of the American press will not be permitted to witness the explosion. Since the Pentagon said the test is designed to strengthen defenses against submarine attack, it is probable that obsolete submarines will be used as underwater tar- gets. Some surface craft also may be anchored in the blast area to measure the effects of the explo- sion, although the announcement did not touch on this. It said a "small yield nuclear device" would be used. The shot will be the second pub- licly announced underwater atomic test made by American scientists and military expe:ts. The first one boiled the waters off Bikini in 1946. It was one of an initial series of experiments made after World War II. Joint Task Force:7, commanded by Rear Adm. C. B. Momsen, will conduct the new test. Momsen is one of the Navy's leading experts on submarine warfare. Informed officials commented, in connection with the test, that ank atomic weapon can be dropped or planted like a World War II sea mine and timed to explode under water. --Daily-John Hirtzei PLANS FOR A SUMMER information program are discussed by Bob Knutson, Vice-President James A.

Future of Property This concerns the futut of former German property held by the Soviets in Austria. The Rus- sians were reported to have re- fused to include in the treaty the extensive concessions promised to Austria when Austrian leaders went to Moscow recently. Conference sources said the So-, viets now insist that these conces- sions be made the subject of a separate agreement between thel U.S.S.R. and Austria, while the Western ambassaidors say they Group Discusses Summer Plans Fly to Vienna 3. The Big Three foreign min- isters announced they would fly to Vienna to meet Saturday with So- viet Foreign Minister V. M. Mplo- tov to complete the Austrian in-' dependence treaty. They probably will sign it on Sunday, ending 10 years of four-power occupation. French Foreign Minister An- toine Pinay announced the agree- ment to invite the Russians to a Big Four conference. Pinay spoke to a news conference following the NATO Council's closed meeting. Pinay said the Western minist- ers still must agree on a proposal for the time and place of the con- ference. July is believed the most likely month. The West favors Lugano, Lausanne or Geneva, all in Switzerland, as the site. British officials, meanwhile, said Molotov has agreed to meet Dulles, Pinay and British Foreign Secretary Harold MV~acMillan in Vienna Saturday to sign the long- delayed Austrian treaty. This would bring the withdrawal of Russian and Allied troops from Austria in return for a commit- ment for that little nation to stay out of military alliances. Freedom See n By nd of Week Acceptable Compromise Found For Future of Austrian Oilfields VIENNA, Austria (P)-The last major obstacle to the conclusion of a treaty of independence for Austria was reported out of the way yesterday-and. the nation may get its long-awaited freedom this weekend. Informed sources said Western delegates to a five-nation ambassa- dors' conference ironing out the text of the draft treaty presented an acceptable compromise on the hotly debated future of the Austrian oilfields.

This is a quote from a letter by Hideharu Maruyama of the Uni-I versity of Tokyo written to Ameri- can students to thank them for contributing their textbooks to the Books for Asian Students drive. The letter continues to point out that Asian students are eager to learn about America, but that this is impossible because American books are scarce in Japan and ex- pensive to import. The Books for Asia drive will be conducted at the University start- ing today and lasting through Thursday. Representatives from each hous- ing unit will provide boxes for de- positing books. Receptacles will also be placed in the Union, League and Mason Hall.

Protection against paralytic polio is at stake for many Michigan youngsters," he said. Some 50 more cases of paralytic polio could be prevented by using the current supply, he added. Scheele Voices Faith Scheele, too, voiced faith in all vaccine now available for use. But he urged a postponement of vac- cinations until federal inspectors make on-the-spot double checks in the five vaccine-making labora- tories. Individual lots of vaccine will be cleared for immediate use as soon as the inspectors okay them and telephone their reports to Scheele, who said he hoped the first lots can be released late this week. In other developments: 1. Chairman W. Magnuson (D- Wash) of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee said an in- vestigation will be started early next week into what, he called "muddled confusion" surrounding the vaccine. 2. Dr. Jonas E. Salk, developer of the vaccine, said at Pittsburgh the Public Health Service's action "expresses its desire to do all in its power to assure the continuous flow of safe and effective vac- cine." Salk said the safety of the vaccine itself has been proved be- yond question.
