Warsaw

Khrushchev Leaves Moscow to Meet
Polish Communist Committee
WARSAW, Poland (-) - Reports circulated today that troops
were posted on Warsaw's outskirts soon after Nikita Khruschev's un-
heralded arrival here yesterday from Moscow.
But who the troops supported was a matter only for speculation.
Soviet as well as Polish forces are stationed in Poland.
Khruschev, the Soviet communist party secretary, and a dele-
gation of military and political leaders flew in amid indications of
a crisis in Polish-Soviet relations.
They apparently had come from Moscow to try to apply the brakes
to Poland's headlong advance toward independent Communism..
The re-emergence of Wladislaw Gomulka, symbol of national

communism in Poland, is a direct
Eisenhower
Hits Adlai's
Draft 'Folly'
Peace 'Panaceas'
Called Senseless
LOS ANGELES (MP) - President
Dwight D. Eisenhower yesterday
accused Adlai Stevenson of "speak-
ing incredibly folly" in saying the
military draft is an "incredible
waste" of manpower and money.
In a speech in the Hollywood
Bowl, President Eisenhower said:
"I do not believe that any politi-
cal campaign justifies the declara-
tion of a moratorium on common
sense.
Amused Tolerance
"We might afford to be tolerant,
in an amused way, of the current
effort to sell senseless economic
panaceas in a political bargain
basement."
But, President Eisenhower, said,
"we cannot be very tolerant of the
suggestion that the peace of the
world can be bought on the same
terms and at the same counter.
"And the man who today dis-
misses our military draft as 'an
incredible waste' is a man speaking
incredible folly."
Stevenson made the statement
Thursday night in a speech at
Youngstown, Ohio.
Hits Adlai's Charge
At the same time, President
Eisenhower hit out at a charge by
Stevenson that the Eisenhower ad-
ministration had been marked
from the start by the "contagion
of corruption."
Here again he did not mention
the Democratic presidential candi-
date by name. But he said:
"I scorn this preposterous accu-
sation-and I condemn it as false
-because it is a baseless insult to
the many men and women associ-
ated with me in public service
today, whom I know and trust.
"They are men and women rwho
-above and beyond all partisan
difference-command the respect
of the leadership of both parties
in our Congress, and the American
people.
"I say nothing of myself. I am
glad to await-with confidence-
your judgment upon such charges
next Nov. 6."
Philharmonie
To Perform
Tomorrow
The Berlin Philharmonic Orch-
estra will return to Ann Arbor on
its second American tour tomorrow.
The orchestra, under the baton
of Herbert von Karaj an, will per-
form at 8:30 p.m. in Hill Auditor-
ium.
The program will include Over-
ture to "Anacreon" by Cherubin,
A Symphonie Liturgique, (Symphony
No. 3) by the contemporary com-
poser Honegger and Beethoven's
Symphony No. 7.
The Berlin Philharmonic has
in its time played under Brahms,
Tchaikovsky and Grieg. Organized
in 1882, the orchestra is unique in
having a self-governing contract-
charter by which the members
have the right to co-selection of
their conductor.
This democratic structure con-
tinues to the present day, although
the City of Berlin and the Berlin
Senate have assumed the obliga-

threat to Konstantin Rokossovsky.
Rokossovsky, Polish-born Soviet
marshal, was installed in the Stal-
in era as Poland's defense minis-
ter.
Immediate Conference
The Russians flew to Warsaw
in a TU104 jet liner and went
ing members of the Polish Com-
straight into conference with lead-
ing members of the Polish Com-
munist Central Committee.
The committee had just restored
once jailed Titoists to power.
Khrushchev was accompanied by
leading members of the Soviet
Presidium Politburo.
They were reported to include
Marshal Georgi Zhukov, defense
minister; former Foreign Minis-
ter V. M. Molotov; deputy pre-
miers A. I. Mikoyan and Lazar
Kaganovich; Marshall Ivan S.
Konev, supreme commander of
the Warsaw pact military organ-
ization tying Communist armies
to the Soviet army, and Gen. of
the Army A. I.hAntonov, secre-
tary general of the Warsaw pact.
Military Considerations
The presence of the Soviet mili-
tary leaders seemed to indicate
military considerations played a
part in the suprise visit.
The arrival of Khrushchev is
said to have angered Gomulka. He
was described as viewing the So-
viet visit as a highly tactless man-
euver, coming at a time when the
ing incredible folly" in saying the
Polish party is under great public
pressure to show its independence.
The meeting of the Central
Committee is generally expected
to have historic import for Poland
and the rest of the Eastern bloc.
The meeting is expected by most
Poles to lead the nation to a more
independent place in world affairs.
'Home-Rule'
Power To Tax
Lacking in City
By WILLIAM HANEY
A local amusement tax for Ann
Arbor is a "long way from reality,"
according to Prof. Arthur W.
Bromage of the political science
department.
Jurisdiction to pass such taxes
can be obtained only by a city
charter provision. Only if a charter
delegates such "home-rule power"
can City Council put up for vote
a specific ordinance specifying
amount of tax and who would be
taxed.
The question of whether or not
the city already has such "home-
rule power" is being studied by City
Administrator Guy Larcom and
City Attorney Jacob Fahrner, Jr.
A complete report of their findings
will be delivered to the City Coun-
cil Nov. 9.
Discussion at City Council meet-
ings heavily favors an amusement
tax. President pro tem Russel
Burns said, "If we had such a tax
we would have put $75,000 into the
city coffers the last three week-
ends, instead of being out a few
hundred dollars for police overtime
pay."
According to Prof. Bromage Ann
Arbor City Council is conducting a
search similar to many other cities
in that they are "looking for a tax
on something other than property,
but the Council can't seem to get
the backing of the people for the
alternative amusement tax pro-
posal."
Defeated in '51, '52
The amusement tax proposal
was put on the ballot in 1951 by
the City Council and was defeated.
Again in 1952 the Council offered
the tax and Ann Arbor voters de-
cided aainst it by an even gratier

Adlai Blasts
Ike's Suez
Leadership
Attacks GOP Policy
In Cincinnati Speech
CINCINNATI ()-Adlai E. Ste-
venson asked last night why Presi-
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower did.
not "tell us the truth" about the
Suez crisis, and said the president
must bear'responsibility for Sec-
retary of State John Foster Dulles
and a policy of "leadership to
disaster."
Stevenson spoke to an enthusi-
astic crowd that overflowed a
3,800-capacity auditorium here
after a one-day tour of Kentucky,
in which he hit hard on the theme
that "a vote for President Eisen-
hower is a vote for Richard Nix-
on."
Dulles Under Fire
The Democratic presidential
nominee turned his fire on Secre-
tary Dulles, saying he has a "habit
of describing every defeat as a vic-
tory and every setback as a tri-
umph."
"He is a master of reverse Eng-
lish," Stevenson said.
Introduced by Michael V. Di-
salle, Democratic candidate for
governor of Ohio, Stevenson be-
gan his address with an off-the-
cuff reference to President Eisen-
hower's relationship with what he
called the "Republican old guard."
'He Joined Them'
"Since he didn't beat them, he
joined them," the candidate said.
Then, switching to the foreign
policy theme, Stevenson recalled
President Eisenhower's recent tele-
vision comment that there was
"good news" about Suez, and went
on to say:
"But there is no good news
about Suez. Why didn't the Presi-
dent tell us the truth? Why hasn't
he told us frankly that what has
happened in the past few months
is that the Communist rulers of
Soviet Russia have accomplished
a Russian ambition that the czars
never accomplished?
Oil Tank of Europe
"Russian power apd influence
have moved into the Middle East
-the oil tank of Europe and Asia
and the great bridge between east
and west."
Stevenson said foreign policy is
"about the most serious failure of
the Republican administration."
And he added:
"Under our constitution, the
President conducts America's re-
lations with the rest of the world
and he is responsible for them and
for his Secretary of State."
Repeating a charge that the ad-
ministration has sought to sweep
such issues as hydrogen bomb con-
trol "under the rug," the candidate
said:
"We need to be called to labor,
not lulled with rosy and mislead-
ing assurances that all is well.
Leadership which fails in this is
leadership to disaster."

U.S. GOING BACKWARD:
IBowles Sees Lack in Foreign Pol
Q~ " F ~rT z: : = :%:=t>.i=J: S_::\:%:: ?:xt? .:":":...:. ? l>

By PETER EUKTEIN
"All we ask is a little imagina-
tion," Chester Bowles, former am-
bassador to India, commented on
United States foreign policy in a
press conference yesterday.
"Not only aren't we doing a lot
of things in foreign affairs we
should be doing, but we're happy
not doing them.
"For heaven's sake," he told re-
porters assembled in his room in
the Union, "let's recognize that
there are problems."
In a speech last night in the
Union ballroom Bowles denied that
the cold war is currently at a
stalemate. "We're going backwards
in almost every area. The Russians
have made more progress in the
Middle East in the past four years
than they had in the past two
hundred."
'Fundamental Mess'
The former Connecticut gover-
nor also described "the funda-
mental mess of our foreign policy"
in terms of "substantial weaken-
ing" of American overseas bases,
"progressive decomposition of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion, and a "steady decline in our
relative air strength."
Bowles issued a three-point .in-
dictmentiof the Eisenhower f or-
eign policy. He accused it of de-
stroying the foundations of bi-
partisanship by giving the "isola-
tionist wing of the Republican
Party an effective veto power over
its every major act," of failing "to
trust the American people with the
facts about our relations with the
rest of the world," and finding it-
self "incapable of coping boldly
and effectively with the new forces
and changing situations which
confront us abroad."
'Change in Red Tactics'
Bowles credited a change in
Nixon Issues
New Challenge
BALTIMORE (P) - Vice Presi-
dent Richard M. Nixon yesterday
challenged Adlai Stevenson to sub-
mit to "open press conference"
questioning on his draft and H-
bomb views.
Nixon's prepared talk was the
last of a 10,000-mile campaign
swing during which he repeatedly
accused Stevenson of irresponsi-
bility and lack of judgement. Last
night he said the Democratic
presidential nominee had shown
"new inconsistencies" in each
speech and statement made on
the two big defense issues.
And Nixon said Stevenson "has
refused to permit the press to ex-
amine him on the draft, the H-
bomb and other questionable is-
sues he has raised during his
campaign." The Vice-President
said he and President Dwight D.
Eisenhower both had opened their
view to newsmen's questions at
conferences.
