UN To Pass
Aerial Plan
Says Reds Find
Idea 'Fantastic'
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. ()-
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. yesterday
urged the UN Political Committee
to endorse President Eisenhow's
"open sky" program for mutual
aerial inspections between the
Soviet Union and the United
States.
Speaking with the full backing
of the Eisenhower administration,
the chief U.S. delegate drew a
verbal picture of Soviet planes
flying over the' United States and
United States planes flying over
the Soviet Union on peaceful mis-
sions of aerial photography.
Pictures "Fantastic"
He said Nikita Khrushchev, So-
viet Communist party chieftain,
in a talk to an Indian audience
Nov. 26 seemed "to find this pic-
* ture fantastic."
"We Americans do not," Lodge
said to the UN delegates. "We
believe that many, many others
do not find it fantastic.
"It will be as reassuring as the
sight of the policeman on his
beat."
Lodge outlined the position
taken by the United States since
Eisenhower voiced his aerial in-
spection program at the summit
conference in July.
Plan Outlined
In brief, .Lodge said:
1. The Eisenhower program is
not 'a substitute for over-all dis-
armament but is a necessary be-
beginming for such a scheme. It is
insurance against surprise attacks.
2. The United States accepts
a suggestion by Premier Bulganin
of the Soviet Union that ground
observers should be stationed at
key points to strengthen an in-
spection scheme.
3. The United States believes
the place to start now is between
the Soviet Union and the United
States but Washington is willing
to negotiate with other sovereign
states with regard to extending
the inspection to their territories.
Want Tests Halted
4. Once a system of arms limi-
tation is in effect and operating
satisfactorily, the United States
agrees there should be correspond-
c ing restriction on the testing of
nuclear weapons. The Russians
have proposed that powers posses-
sing nuclear weapons agree to a
halt in further tests.
5. The Russians object that
the inspection scheme will cost
enormous expenditures. The
United 'States can afford it and so
can the Soviet Union. "It is a
trifling premium to pay for an in-'
surance polly against war," Lodge
said.
'Airline Site
k4Undecided
Current negotiations concerning
the proposed move of commercial
airline operations from Willow Run
Airport to Wayne-Major Airport
continue in a state of flux. .
The most recent development
has been a proposal by Wayne
County officials for a 27 million
dollar developmental program at
Wayne Major. According to Le-
roy C., Smith, county engineer,
about one half of 'this sum would
be required for initial construction
of such facilities as hangars and
a terminal building.
Smith said these funds would
come from federal aid, state and
county appropriations, and an is-
sue of revenue bonds. He declined
to comment on what the appor-
tionment amongst the sources
would be.
No decision has been reached on
this proposal and the entire prob-
lem is still under study. The air-
lines are opposed to the move de-
spite the offers of Wayne County
and recent recommendations of the
federal government's Air Use Panel
that Willow Run be converted to
military use.
Willow Run, owned by the Uni-
versity, is operated by Airlines Na-
tional Terminal Services Company

January Meeting on Cold War
Strategy To Be Held at White House
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (IF) - Two top leaders of the Western
world, President Dwight D. Eisenhower and British Prime Minister
Anthony Eden, will meet at the White House Jan. 30 on strategy for
combatting Russia's stepped-up cold war maneuvers.
A massive array of touchy international issues will confront this
hands-across-the-Atlantic conference in the wake of the failure of
the Geneva foreign ministers' sessiois last month to bridge major
gaps dividing East and West.
But there were no solid indications that either the President or
the Prime Minister feels that any real emergency impels a meeting

LANSING - State Democrats
have asked a United States Senate
subcommittee to investigate politi-
cal fund raising by the Republican
party in Michigan.
Neil Staebler, Democratic State
Chairman, wrote the Hennings
Subcommittee requesting the in-
vestigation.
In the letter, Staebler men-
tioned a Detroit News story which
said General Motors Corporation
executives are not contributing
to the Party because of ,dissension.
The sense of the story, Staebler
said, is that General Motors execu-
tives contribute or withhold con-
tributions from the Party "As a
matter of high corporate policy"
and should be investigated to de-
termine who sets this policy.
WASHINGTON-The Un I te d
States Supreme Court ruled yes-
terday both the federal govern-
ment and Eastern Air Lines are
liable for damages in a 1949 air
crash here which took the lives of
55 persons.
In three separate actions, the
court closed out a long, bitter legal
battle over the question of liabili-
ty
The disaster occurred, when a
four-engine Eastern airliner and
a P38 fighter flown by Bolivian
pilot Eric Rios Bridoux collided in
the air.
In .one action, the court unani-
mously agreed with decision of
lotwer federal courts that the gov-
ernment is subject to liability.
In another, it, agreed with the
United States Court of Appeals
here that the government's liabil-
ty is limited to $15,000 per death.

secretaries
Mainly they will be up against
old, holdover problems and one
new one that embraces all the oth-
ers.
Among the holdovers are the
impasse with Russia on uniting
Germany and achieving world dis-
armament, and the situations in
the troubled Middle East and
Asia.
The new one is the increasingly
harsher trend in Russian foreign
policy, accompanied by vigorous
propaganda blasts at the free
world, since the Geneva confer-
ence.
In addition, President Eisenhow-
er and Prime Minister Eden may
wish to consider the implications
of repeated governmental crises
besetting one of their chief allies
- France -- and measures for
strengthening the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization.
Yesterday's announcement of
the conference had home front
political connotations.
Republicans who are hoping that
President Eisenhower will recover
enough from his Sept. 24 heart at-
tack to try for another term next
year can be expected to fan their
hopes with this.

WASH{INGTON (M -)- Operation
Cracker Jack -- a surprise test of
the air defenses of the North
American continent, got under way
late yesterday.
Some 400,000 members of the
civilian Ground Observer Corps,
plus joint forces of the United
States and Canada were taking
part in the exercise.
Primary objective of the test, is
to test the effectiveness of the
radar tracking and interceptor de-
fenses of both the United States
and Canada.
Air National Guard pilots tak-
ing part in the exercise are under
orders which call for them to be
on duty for a period not to exceed
four days.
Planes of the U.S. Strategic Air
Command were playing the part
of a mythical enemy in attempt-
ing to penetrate the air defense
set up.
Elements of the U.S. Air Force,
Navy, Marines and the National
Guard were involved in the exer-
cise, along with Canadian forces.
The Air Defense Command at
Colorado Springs, Colo., said no'
figures would be disclosed as to
the actual number of units or
planes taking part in the test,
saying ,such information is classi-
fied.

INDIANAPOLIS () - Faran
Edwards, WTTV newscaster and
former national commentator
for the AFL, said yesterday he
was as amazed as anybody
when the body of missing 3-
year-old Ronnie Weitkamp was
found Sunday in woods near
Crane, Ind., as he forecast Oct.
23.
Edwards said he sent two
friends to "interview" a 33-
year-old horse, Lady Wonder,
at Richmond, Va., which pur-
portedly answers questions by
nudging letters hanging from
a wire.
The horse, which had been
credited with locating the body
of missing Dann Matson of
Quincy, Mass., in 1952, spelled
out that the Weitkamp boy
would be found dead, in Decem-
ber, in woods about a mile from
his home.

Investigation
WASHINGTON () - Sen. Wil-
liam Langer (D-ND) demanded
yesterday that the Senate sub-
poena postmaster General Arthur
E. Summerfield and Sherman Ad-
ams, top White House aide, in the
new Dixon-Yates probe.
Langer said he wants to bring
.out "how much money Mr. Dixon
and Mr. Yates . . . contributed to
the campaign funds of the Repub-
lican party" in the 1952 campaign
in which President Eisenhower
won election.
Utility Magnates
Edgar H. Dixon and Eugene A.
Yates are the utility magnates who
contract~d with the government to
build a 107 million dollar power
plant at West Memphis, Ark., to
furnish electricity for the Ten-
nessee Valley Authority
The contract has been canceled
and now the subcommittee, headed
by Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn),
is engaged in a search for any
"criminal conspiracy" which might
be connected with it.
Two Refusals,
Chairman Lewis E. Strauss of
the Atomic Energy Commission
and Budget Director Rowland R.
Hughes both refused yesterday to
tell the senators whether they had
discussed ramifications of the con-
tract with Adams or anyone else
at the White House.
They both contended any such
discussions, if they were in fact
held, would be privileged communi-
cations within the executive branch.
of the government.
Langer, a subcommittee member,
said his demand to subpoena Ad-
ams and Summerfield was "moti-
vated partly by the fact" that a
federal grand jury in St. Louis has
indicated Matthew J. Connelly and
T. Lamar Caudle for conspiring to
defraud the government in income
tax cases.
Connelly was a top White House
aide in the Truman administration
and Caudle held a senior post in
the Justice Department.
Could Plead Exemption
Langer said he believes Connelly
could have pleaded exemption, or
privilege, in any congressional
inquiry into such a matter on
grounds that he was a White
House aide not subject to con-
gressional subjoena.
Therefore, Langer said, he is
proposing that both Summerfield
and Adams be subjoenaed, not as
government officials, but as private
citizens -- Summerfield as former
chairman of the Republican Na-
tional Committee during the 1952
presidential campaign.

DETROIT (R) - Two bargain-
ing sessions yesterday failed to
settle a labor dispute that has kept
Detroit's three metropolitan news-
papers shut down since last Thurs-
day.
Negotiators, representing strik-
ing AFL-CIO stereotypers of local
9 and the Detroit Newspaper Pub-
lishers Assn., adjourned a night
session after an hour and 45 min-
utes. Neither side would comment
on progress, if any.
Meeting Scheduled
A new meeting was scheduled for
3 p.m. today. Negotiators met for
two hours yesterday.
James H. Sampson, Internation-
al Vice-President of the Stereo-
typers Union, sat in on the after-
noon bargaining and described it
as "a friendly meeting."
Sampson had told reporters as
he entered the session: "We are
hopeful."
Center on Demands
Today's discussions centered
mainly on demands of the stereo-
typers that they be paid overtime
for any work performed on an edi-
tion prior to its publication date
and that color plates be handled
by regular crews at overtime rates
or by special ,crewmen hired for
color work.
The three papers employ 116
stereotypers' and have a total
working staff of 4,598.
Two negotiating sessions were
held Saturday, but when they end-

the striking local union, said "We
are no closer together than when
the strike began."

LANSING (RP)-State police said
yesterday they have put a 24-hour
watch on the home of Gov. G.
Mennen Williams after the Gov-
ernor's wife, Nancy, received a
telephone warning that a bomb
was hidden in the house.
Police quoted Mrs. Williams as
saying she received two telephone
calls warning of the bomb Nov. 26.
She said the tipster told her the
bomb had been hidden on Thanks-
giving Day, when the family was
at the home of the governor's
mother in Grosse Pointe Farms.
The Governor's wife said it was
impossible to tell whether the
caller was a men or a woman. The
voice, she said, was muffled "as
if a cloth had been put over the
