The fighting occurred in a section remote from the positions of American troops. They reported everything quiet in the areas where they are stationed. On the political front, a rebel leader dealt a stiff blow to rising hopes that peace might return to this troubled little Mideast nation U.S. Will Not Be on Defensive, Eisenhow( Sources Say Council. Will Meet Next Week UNITED 'NATIONS, N.Y. ()-The Security Council is expected to meet next week to build the foundation for a United Nations sum- mit meeting on the Middle East crisis. This was reported by Western sources yesterday as President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent a note to Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev stressing that summit arrangements must be left to the Council. These informants express belief Khrushchev will accept and the summit meeting can open at U.N. headquarters in New York Aug. 11. Tells Khrushchev next week. Saeb Salim declared Investigation Demanded B Capehart WASHINGTON (N) - Sen. Ho- mer Capehart (R-Ind.) formally demanded yesterday an investiga- tion of why a Maryland firm, fighting a bill before Congress, put Rep. James Roosevelt (D-Calif.) on its payroll. Raising a question of ethics, Capehart mentioned a House in- quiry into whether White House aide Sherman Adams exerted of- ficial influence for his gift-giving friend Bernard Goldfine, and quoted an old saw: "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." Late President's Son The California congressman is the son of. the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Capehart made his demand for an investigation to a Senate Banking subcommtitee headed by Sen. John Sparkman (D-Ala.). Sparkman said he would put the matter up to the subcommittee later, The subcommittee is considering a bill to forbid savings and loan associations. from, dvertising that their deposits and securities are t insured, unless they are insured by a federal insurance agency. Gets $6,000 Yearly The firm which hired Roosevelt to be chairman of its board, at $6,000 a year for part-time serv- ices, is located in nearby Silver Springs, Md. It carries insurance ' with a Panama firm. Roosevelt testified against the bill Thursday. Capehart said, "We want to know who is paying you for this attack" and Roosevelt re- torted that "I am not being paid for testifying." Yesterday with attorney Sher- man Cohen on the stand for the firm, Capehart demanded to know why Roosevelt had been hired as board chairman. "He liv4a in Cali- fornia," the senator pointed out. Cohen replied: "He has a na- tionil reputation as one of the leaders and champions of small business." Adams' Help Not Influential In Rebate Case WASHINGTON -() - The for- mer president of Raylaine Wor- steds Inc. said yesterday it was not Sherman Adams' influence but hard legal work that won the mill a $41,284 rebate of wartime contract penalties. Leo Wolff, head of the now- defunct Mancheseter, N.H., firm, toil newsmen "we wrote to every- , body we could think of" seeking help in having the 1941 case re- opened before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals finally reconsidered it last year. But Wolff reiterated that it is ridiculous to say Adams or any other political figure influenced the settlement under which Ray- laine got back most of the penal- ties assessed for lateness in deliv- eying uniform serge ordered by the Army. , He chatted with newsmen while waiting to testify before a House Armed Services Investigations subcommittee. The White House has said Adams, chief assistant to Presi- dent Dwight D. Eisenhower, made what it termed routine inquiries r about the Raylaine case .A form- the rebels will not permit parlia- mment to name a new president Thursday as scheduled. Shooting in Basta Area The shooting involving the taxi broke out near the rebel-held Basta area after 20 armed rebels ordered the vehicle carrying a woman and a child to stop. Tle driver kept going and the rebels opened fire. The pro-government civilians led by Hanna Yazbeck returned the shots. The woman and child in the cab and a young man bystander were killed. Two of Yazbeck's follow- ers were wounded. Rebel casual- ties were unknown. It was the second day of skir- mishing in Beirut and in the port city of Tripoli. Four Killed Thursday Yazbeck said four of his men were killed Thursday and anoth- er was wounded. The government said three rebels were killed and seven wounded Thursday in Trip- oli. American military commanders, meanwhile, held a formal briefing at the United States Embassy. They said there now are 4,000 Ar- my troops and 6,300 Marines ashore in Lebanon. The political setback came as Salam declared his forces will not permit parliament to name a pres- ident as long as pro-Western Pres- ident Camille Chamoun is in power and foreign troops remain - in Lebanon. Will beet Thursday Parliament is scheduled to meet Thursday to name Chamoun's successor. Hopes had increased that a candidate acceptable to both sides would be named, thus ending the uprising. A spokesman at Salam's head- quarters said the rebel declara- tion in itself would prevent a quorum from attending the sched- uled parliament meeting. 'Grads Given More,'Funds Graduate students were award- ed 627 fellowship and scholarships amounting to $644,000 during the last fiscal year, Dean Ralph A. Sawyer of the graduate school an- nounced yesterday. Last year's to- tal was 508 awards, amounting to $495,000. Dean Sawyer said the increase was largely due to growing recog- nition by industry and private do- nors of the need for graduate fel- lowships to relieve students from the necessity of working, and thus, reducing the time required to ob- tain the doctor's degree. Also up over last year were fac- ulty research grants, up in num- ber from 165 to 160, and in value from $166,000 to $250,000. Council Must Settle Conference Rules Ike Says Scope of Sumrit Meeting Must Include Talk on USSR Threat WASHINGTON (A')-President Dwight D. Eisenhower served notice on Nikita Khrushchev yesterday the United States does not intend to be forced into the role of defendant at any emergency summit confer- ence. He also told the Soviet Premier the United Nations Security Coun- cil must set the ground rules for any summit talks if the council agrees the Middle East crisis justifies such meetings now. President Eisenhower in effect alerted Khrushchev to be prepared to face Western denunciations of Russia's threats to small nations if he shows up in New York for the emergency Security Council meeting Khrushchev has been demanding. President Eisenhower made clear this strategy in a letter which' The 11-nation Council will be sun Y'] ''Students Get All A's Last Spring One hundred and forty - eight students received all-"A" grades last semester, the office of Regis- tration and Records reported yes- terday. The total is six above the fall semester figure. The breakdown of the total by schools and colleges: Architecture and design school, three; business administration school, five; education school, 26; literary college, 100; School of Mu- sic, 10; natural resources school, one; and nursing school, three. M icTo Present PrograMS Three programs on "Music and the Present-Day Church" will be presented by the School of Music in conjunction with the summer session theme, "Religion in Con- temporary Society." The first of these programs will be held at 8:30 p.m. Monday in Hill Auditorium. The others are scheduled for Tuesday and Aug. 4. In Monday's program, Prof. Harold Haugh of the School of Music will serve as lecturer for the program, which will feature the University choir under the direction of Prof. Robert Foun- tain, visiting professor from the Oberlin Music Conservatory, and Prof. Marilyn Mason, organist, of the School of Music.

Proposed Indian Attendance Khrushchev proposed that in addition to members of the Coun- cil, Prime Minister Nehru of India and the governments of interested Arab states be brought into the discussions. He did not specify the Arab gov- ernments, but a Soviet U.N. source said he believed they would be Lebanon, Jordan, and President Nasser's United Arab Republic.' They are the same three Arab nations invited to take part in previous Council Middle East de- bate. Iraq would be present as a member of the Council. There had been speculation that the Soviets might have in mind a conference of all Arab states. U.N. diplomats feel this would make the conference cumbersome. It might also lead to additional complica- tions, such as a demand from Israel for participation, or from Turkey, Iran and Pakistan-mem- bers of the Baghdad Pact. Consults With Lodge President Eisenhower said he was instructing Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge to consult with other Council members on the desir- ability ofa summit meeting. The Council is expected to be called into session at the conclu- sion of such consultations. . U.N. diplomats said the Council would make arrangements for pri- vate meetings of the big powers and possibly India. The big powers would agree in advance that no voting take place. They would issue a summary in the way of a report to the full Council at the end of their talks. Senate Okays New Supports For Farmers WASHINGTON (A) - The Sen- ate gave loud voice vote approval yesterday to a compromise system of minimus price supports for cotton and rice. Similar agreement was expect- ed to follow for corn supports. The compromise, which devel- oped rapidly as the Senate worked toward final action on its new farm bill, would permit future price supports at the highest of one of three levels: either a straight price subsidy, 90 per cent of the average price in the last three years, or 60 per cent of parity. SOBOLEV, MATSUDAIRA DISAGREE-Soviet degelate Arkady Sobolev condemned the proposal by Japanese delegate Koto Matsudaira to create an effective United Nations team, which would permit the United States to withdraw its troops from Lebanon. AT SENATE HEARING: Johnson Asks Defense Chief About Space Race WASHINGTON gp) - The Senate's majority leader said yes- terday that if Rome had been built at the pace the United States De- fense Department is moving the streets would still be unpaved. "Where are the -missiles, where are the satellites, and where are the other devices?" Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Tex.) demanded of Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy at a Senate hearing. The session was held behind closed doors so that McElroy and his aides could de- scribe a number of secret mili- tary projects they said would demonstrate that the nation's de- fense buildup is moving ahead. 'Represent Progress' "The examples definitely rep- resent progress, much of which is substantial," J o h n s o n reported after the two-hour hearing before his Senate Preparedness subcom- mittee. "But if Rome had been built at the same rate of speed, the streets would still be unpaved. "The secretary and his people are doing a good job. They have strengthened the defenses of the country and no one can question their dedication. Wants Best Program "But I believe the committee would have a greater sense of1 comfort if it felt there was a greater desire not just to improve our defenses, not just to catch up with the Russians, but to produce a preparedness program second to none. Johnson said he remained un- convinced that the Defense De- partment is working with the "grim sense of urgency" required by the times. planes End Mouse Hunt CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (M) - The Air Force abandoned yester- day an intensive three-day Atlan- tic Ocean search for a Thor-Able" rocket nose cone and its tiny mouse rider. The suspension of search opera- tions wiped out any hope that Wickie, the 3-year-old mouse, could be brought back alive after a 6,000-mile journey through out- er space. The hunt was called off after four C54s and three weather re- connaissance planes reported no progress in a last ditch effort to spot the nose cone in Atlantic swells some 1,000 miles east-south- east of Ascension Island near the African coast. Failure of a radio beacon inside the nose cone recovery package thwarted the search efforts, Air Force officials said. Her "mousehouse" was equipped with enough oxygen, food and water to last several weeks. stressed that the permanent coun- cil delegates in New York should decide whether such a parley is generally desired and, if so, fix the date and makeup of the meeting. Attendance Conditional If Khrushchev agrees to this procedure, the White House said, President Eisenhower stands ready to attend the heads-of-government meeting. The President's insistence that the 11 - nation Security Council should first determine whether a summit session is generally de- sired served to put the brakes on Khrushchev's proposal to rush to New York for a meeting starting next Monday. "The date of July 28 is too early for us," President Eisenhower said. Need British, French OK United States authorities said Aug. 11, a little more than two weeks hence, seemed to be a more acceptable time, provided the Brt- ish and French agree. British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and French Premier Charles de Gaulle would be the other top participants with Presi- dent Eisenhower and Khrushchev, although de Gaulle has said he doesn't like the idea of coming to. New York for such talks. At U.N. headquarters in New York, Western sources said the Security Council probably will be called into session early next week' to work out arrangements for sum- mit talks. Answer Uncertain What would Khrushchev say to President Eisenhower's stipulation that the talks must be held within the established rules of the U.N. Security Council and the U.N. Charter? "I'll have to ask him," Soviet Ambassador Mikhail Menshikov. told newsmen with a shrug. Men- shikov had just accepted the White House letter from Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Western sources at the U.N. said they had been given a definite im- pression Moscow would g along with the Western terms on ar- rangements. Requires General Discussion In his 700-word letter, President Eisenhower served notice that the United States won't stand for a mere pro and con discussion of Khrushchev's charge that the United States and Britain com- mitted war-breeding agression.; Instead, he said, this country will insist on broadening the de- bate to include Western accusa- tions that the real cause of the Mideast crisis is a Soviet-backed drive to topple independent gov- ernments in the area. "To put pecae and security on a more stable basis in the Middle East requires far more than merely. a consideration of Lebanon and Jordan," President Eisenhower wrote. "These situations are but iso- lated manifestations of far broad- er problems." TVY Talk Set By Coma ger A televised press conference fea- turing the comments of Henry Steele Commager to University journalism students will be shown Turks Given Red Warning On Mid-East LONDON (9) - Moscow radio said last night the Soviet Union has formally warned Turkey against attacking Iraq. The broadcast, in the Turkish language, said a note to this effect was presented to Turkey Thurs- day. Turkish circles at the United Nations in New York, commenting on the Soviet action, said: "This is nothing new, it should not be taken too seriously. A note of this kind was sent to Turkey during the last Syrian crisis in the U.. Turkey has no plans of any kind to attack anybody." Moscow radio quoted the Krem- lin note as saying that, "According to reports the Turkish government is preparing to begin military operations against Iraq in a few days' time." The reports were not specified But the note, as quoted in the broadcast, said, "A request by King Hussein of Jordan might provide an official pretext for an onslaught by Turkish troops on Iraq."
