BIG THREE:
Red Plan
Rejected
By West,
WASHINGTON () - Russia's
proposal to add Communist Po-
land and Czechoslovakia to pre-
summit'-talks was reported reject-
ed yesterday, by United States,
British and French envoys. s
Instead, informants said, the
representatives of the allied Big
Three chose a less unpalatable
course: Agreement to meet sep-
arately with Soviet Foreign Min-
ister Andrei Gromyko in Moscow,
as he demanded last week.
Thus, the Big Three apparently
picked what they considered the
lesser of two evils. Final approval,
however, depends upon London
and Paris.
No hitch 'was expected in the
allied capitals. A formal notice to
the Kremlin was looked for before
the end of the weef.

Gromyko first refused to meet

one.
Last week the Big Three com-
plained. Gromyko fired back that

said it was either one-by-one or
three-by-three, with Poland and

Minister Claims U.S.
Seeks Military Data
MOSCOW (R)-Andrei Gromyko
charged yesterday President Eisen-
hower's proposal for international
inspection of the Arctic is a bid
for intelligence data on Soviet
territory.
"This question of inspection is
detached from any practical steps
toward disarmament and is trans-
formed into a matter of sheer
publicity," the Soviet foreign min-
ister told a news conference.
Gromyko's attack came at the
Foreign Ministry as the United
Nations Security Council in New
York opened debate on the Arctic
inspection plan. The United States
presented this as entirely apart
from the general topic of disarma-
ment.
Gromyko told Moscow corres-
pondents: "One can hardly help

AF Landing
Made Blind'
OMAHA (AP)-A landing previ-
ously considered impossible was
made at Abilene, Tex., Air Force;
Base by a burning.B47 jet bomei'
on which the top canopy had been
blown off.
The Strategic Air Command
said Lt. James M. Obenauf, 24,
Grayslake, Ill., co-pilot; made the
landing Monday night from the
blind seat behind the pilot's posi-
tion.
SAC explained planes have been
landed by a pilot from the 'front
seat with the canopy off because
the pilot remains shielded by a
cowling and can see the ground.
But, said SAC, it has been eon-
sidered impossible for a co-pilot
to do it because he is behind a
solid bulkhead and can not see
forward unless he leans sidewise
from the seat, in which case
wind and sand would blind him.

On Effect of U' Censure
By SUSAN HOLTZER
The American Association of University'Professors' Washington,
D.C. headquarters was noncommittal yesterday over the effect its
censure action would have on the University.
A spokesman for the association said the -censure is merely "to
call to the attention of professors" the University's "lack of adequate
practice of academic freedoms." He would not predict what effect this
would have. As to further action by the AAUP, the spokesman said
they "hope (the University) cor-

Report Shows Work Increase.
WASHINGTON (A) - The government issued a hurry-up report
yesterday showing a slight unemployment decline of 78,000 in April.
AFL-CIO President George Meany cited it as proof that the reces-
sion "continues to worsen."'
Meany stressed that employment figures failed to improve as
much as usual from March to April, a fact noted in the report from
the Commerce Department. Both also noted that the rate of unem-
ployment, seasonally adjusted, increased from 7 to 7.5 per cent of the
labor force, which includes bathD
