Bowie portrayed the cold war as a "challenge to ourselves" yesterday, and suggested a five-part approach to meet its crucial problems. The director of the Harvard University Center for International Affairs said America has a fundamentally stronger case than Russia before the peoples of the world but will prevail only with enough dedication to its responsibilities. He warned that survival and success depend to a great degree on Gromyko Says Policy 'Flexible' Summit Hopes Rise As Talks Continue GENEVA (MP-Andrei A. Gro- myko told the West last night the Soviet Union may lower its price for a stopgap Berlin deal. The Soviet foreign minister made his statement in the Big Four conference after Secretary of State Christian A. Herter had warned that new crises and ten- sions in disputed West Berlin could imperil world peace more gravely than ever before. The United States Secretary of State called for a once-for-all solution for Berlin pending the re- union of East and West Germany. Would Mean Summit Parley Herter pledged that real pro- gress toward such a deal would allow a summit parley to be ar- ranged promptly. The Big Four set up arrange- ments for resuming secret talks today on the Berlin crisis. This pointed to a serious new bid to come to terms soon. In a session packed with pointed diplomatic exchanges, Gromyko responded to persistent Western prodding with an assurance that the Soviets are ready to be quite flexible about one of their key conditions for a Berlin agreement. West Disagrees on Conditions The condition is that the two Germnays must meet face to face during a stopgap arrangement to work on a German peace pact and unification program. The United States, Britain, France and West Germany had rejected Russia's demand as it stood. The Allies would prefer a Big Four commission with East and West Germany acting as ad- visers. This would preserve Big Four responsibility for a final German peace settlement. Gromyko asserted the time has come for the Big Four to negotiate concrete measures for an interim solution of the crisis. He said he did not mind whether the nego- tiators take place in secret or semi-public. Bevan Asks Withdrawal From Persia HAMBURG, Germany ()P-Brit- ish Laborite Aneurin Bevan said yesterday Britain should give up her military and political influence in the Persian Gulf, one of the world's richest oil areas. Speaking before the sixth Con- gress of the Socialist International, Bevan said Arab nationalism is ex- pelling Western influence as the Asian nationalism did in the 1940s. He forecast there will be a simi- lar expulsion from Africa in the 1960s. He suggested that a progressive reduction of British military and political commitments in the Per- sian Gulf would make sure that local power would fill the "power' vacuum" and not foreign elements. By this, he apparently referred to Communism. Bevan, who speaks for the Brit- ish Laborites on foreign affairs, urged that old style concessions be transformed into normal commer- cial transactions. * * * * * * niversity In Reside Plans Increase tice Halls t "our ability to understand the Roa Alle es Anti-Castro Plot in U.S. HAVANA (M)-Foreign Minist Raul Roa charged last night th 1d - an anti-Castro conspiracy "wi official connections in the Unit States" is planning to invade C'u with 6,000 mercenaries now in t Dominican Republic. Roa, appearing on television few hours after returning fr Washington, said the offic American link to the alleged cc spiracy was not in the State D partment "but in Congress." He charged that there was direct connection between t alleged invasion plot and the a pearance of Maj. Pedro Luis D: Lanz before the United States I ternal Security Subcomittee hea ed by Sen. James O. Eastland ( Miss.). ' Fled to U.S. Diaz, who quit as command of the Cuban Air Force anld fl to the United States, told t committee that Prime Minisi Fidel Castro, his brother Raul a others high in the Cuban goveri ment were Communists. Castro has denounced Diaz a traitor and a supporter of e dictator Fulgencio Batista, who Castro's revolution overthrew.

This true, he said, despite "some ma ters." the Foreign Minister h been representing Cuba in Was] ington before the Council of t Organization of American Stal (OAS). Soviet Works + To Be Topic Russian literature will be t world in its true dimensions." Those =--'dimensions indicate that much of "our task is on the non-commu- nist side of the line" he said, re- ferring to the needs of both'de- clining European nations and rising Afro-Asian ones. "Most people believe in human dignity and welfare, the freedom to govern," Prof. Bowie pointed out. "This is where we agree, and thus we ought to be able to iden- ertify with their causes." 'tr America's first responsibility is at to safeguard the peace and deter ith deliberate aggression, he said. dba Advocates Arms Control he Although disarmament does not seem imminent, he empha- a sized the United States should continue its pursuit of arms con- al trol as a great safeguard against in- nuclear warfare. e- Second,America must help cre- ate new centers of power in the free world, particularly in Europe, he Prof. Bowie said. Third, he argued that America p- should do more for the world's iaz underdeveloped nations, even for n- those who distrust the West. "We d- have a common interest with D- them in the preservation of inde- pendence," he reminded. der Must Improve People led Acknowledging the "terrible he obstacles to the attainment of ter growth" in these countries, he nd pointed out that "all the capital 'n- in the world can't provide growth unless you work toward the im- as provement of individuals and in- stitutions" in countries lacking both material r e s o u r ce s and skilled peoples. He suggested "We haven't done as much as we could in this k- area," and supported United Na- n- tions Secretary Dag Hammer- wn skiold's proposal for an interna- us tional civil service as a "construc- lic. tive" idea. ew Fourth, Prof. Bowie said the la- United States should try to turn tes the "evolution of communist pol- is icy away from expansion." at- Use Aid To Combat Communism ad This should be attempted, he h- said, by helping to develop Europe e and the underdeveloped coun- tes tries, thus "shutting off the pos- sibility of easy victories" for the Soviets. He added that exchange pro- grams are "all to the good" in mitigating the war threat. As a fifth task, the United States must "try to build instru- ments for community action" he such as the UN. Prof. Bowie said. Juno Veers Of f Course, Is Exploded CAPE CANAVERAL (A) - A thundering Juno II rocket was exploded 10 feet off its launching pad yesterday when it veered to- ward the heavily-populated Flor- ida mainland. No one was injured in the spec- tacular blowup. The range safety officer pressed a button that tore the 76-foot' satellite-toting rocket apart be- fore it could rise clear of its own exhaust fire. Scientists Witness Crash Toppling over to the west, the rocket crashed in flames 50 yards from the thick-walled blockhouse from which scientists witnessed the blastoff. The 55 observers in the block- house were detained inside the structure for an hour until the raging fire was extinguished. Juno II was supposed to take off on a northeast course that would have hurled its satellite into an elliptical orbit over Rus- sia. Caused by Generator Failure Three hours after the explosion, Dr. Kurt Debus, director of flight operations for the project, told newsmen the malfunction was caused by failure of an inverter generator which converts DC power to AC and feeds it into the guidance "brain" of the rocket. With its power cut off, the "bran" did not function and the missile headed off aimlessly in the wrong direction. The explosion came as a dis- tinct surprise because of the great record of the reliable Juno II. This was the same type'as the rocket that hurled a man-made American planet into eternal or- bit around the sun. Second Occurrence It was only the second reported; failure for the Army's reliable Jupiter intermediate range bal-; listic missile, which served as the first stage of the four-stage Juno, I , The satellite it was assigned to, carry into orbit yesterday was one that could have opened a new era of larger, more advanced space research vehicles. Called Explorer VI, the satellite contained a virtual flying labora- tory designed to probe many of the mysteries of space and of the; weather. Was To Study Radiation Band Its main goal was to study the deadly band of radiation that' earlier Explorer satellites discov- ered in outer space starting at 480 miles from the Earth. Full information on this cosmic radiation will be needed before man can) begin his travels in space. * * * -Daily-Fred Bonnett SIGN OF SUMMER-With the advent of warm weather, the city crews get out to repair the damages wrought by winter. Currently, State Street between Packard Street and the Intramural Building is blocked to traffic as a section of the sewer is worked on. SUMMER PROJECT: City Sinks New Sewer Section FOR CONTEMPT: Goldfine Alters Plea WASiIINGTON (R) - Bernard Goldfine, gift-giving friend of politicians, yesterday abondoned his defense against a contempt of Congress indictment. He thereby left himself open to a possible sentence up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Goldflne, 68-year-old Boston in- dustrialist, withdrew his previous plea of innocent and entered a plea of nolo contendere, meaning he did not wish to contest further. United States District Judge James W. Morris accepted the substitute plea over the objection of Assistant United States Attor- ney William Hitz. In accepting Goldfine's new plea, the judge indicated he 'in- tended to be lenient. While the maximum penalty for contempt of Congress is a year in jail and a $1,000 fine, Moris could impose a sentence as light as one month in jail and a $100 fine, and sus- pend the jail term. Goldfine, whose favors to former White House aide Sherman Adams and other political figures were in- vestigated a year ago by the House Subcommittee on Legislative Over- sight, was indicted for refusing to answer questions about the finan- cial affairs of the Boston Port Development Co. New Proposal Delays House Vote on Tax Plan LANSING (P)--Last-minute introduction of a new tax package short-circuited expected votes on the use and flat rate income tax bills yesterday and turned the House into a scene of confusion and turmoil. Lawmakers spent the day clearing the agenda of all but a few non-tax measures and then quit for a third straight five-day weekend. Rep. Allison Green (R-Kingston) set a target date' of Aug. 1 for the beginning of the new tax program lawmakers must adopt to support a record 1959-60 budget nearly completed. As yet, however, no one Elates To Initiate $20 Rise In Septembe 'Nominal' Charge To Aid Financing Of Staff Pay Hikes Room and board rates in Uni- versity residence halls will be in- creased by $20 annually starting this September, Vice-President for Student Affairs James A. Lewis announced yesterday. Lewis termed the i n c r e a s e "nominal," just covering boosts in salaries of residence halls em- ployes. Increases in staff salaries - mostly four per cent raises, ac- cording to Business Manager Leonard A. Schaadt - were part of the general wage increase,. of University employes afforded by the record operations budget passed by the state legislature. Occupants To Pay Since residence halls operate on a "self-sustaining" basis, wage increases must be passed on to oc cupants. Lewis anticipated no signfican dropout among. students faced with the extra $20 payment. Notices of the payment change were sent out yesterday. to all students planning to enter 'a resi- dence hall this fall. Increases Listed Rates next. year will be $87& for single rooms, $815 for doubles, and $765 for triples. The figure." includes daily meals, weeky linen service and bi-monthly maid serv- ice for the academic year. According to Francis C. Shiel, manager of service enterprises, at least five other Big Ten universi- ties have increased rates $20 to $50 next year. The last room and board rate raise here, calling for a $25 yearly increase, was passed in the spring of 1957. Highest raise in Univer-: sity history was $50 in 1955. Lewis also indicated that stu- dent requests for extending phone service to individual rooms would be reviewed in the fall. Military Aid Change Sought By Committee WASHINGTON () - Senate and House conferees agreed ten- tatively yesterday on a comprom- ise proposal to shift foreign mili- tary aid to the Defense Depart- ment budget for a two-year trial period. President Dwight D. Eisen- hower also won another partial victory when the conferees-try- ing to adjust differences in 31/2 billion dollar foreign aid bill-- voted to raise military aid funds this year to $1,400,000,000. This was only $200 million less than President Eisenhower asked for arms aid to free world allies when he submitted a $3,909,400,- 000 foreign aid bill early in the session. The Senate conferees agreed to drop a provision giving the Pres- ident permanent authorizations for military assistance -abroad, beginning in the fiscal year start- ing July 1, 1960. In exchange for this conces- sion, the House conferees agreed to a substitute provision authoriz- ing no ceiling on appropriations for this category of assistance for the years beginning July 1, 1960 knew what form the programi would take. Back New Tax Package Green joined hands with Rep. T. John Lesinski (D-Detroit) to round up support for a new four-bill tax package keyed to a penny increase in the three-cent use (sales) tax and a revised business activities tax. It would produce about $148 1/2 million a year, about eight and one-half million more than lead- ers of both parties concede is needed to balance the budget. As a condition of proposal, Le- sinski insisted the House pass his own plan and the Conlin flat rate income tax plan endorsed by Dem- ocrats. Provides Choice That way, he said, the Republi- can-run Senate would have a choice. Rep. Joseph J. Kowalski (D-De- troit), Democratic 'floor leader, backed down on plans to demand an immediate vote on the income tax when four members failed to show up. Steel Strike Continues By The Associated Press The steel strike continued to gain force yesterday as nego- tiations were halted for the weekend. A run-down of the situation shows: IDLE-An estimated 500,000 steelworkers with 25,000 in allied fields such as rail, coal, truck, inland water shipping, iron ore mining and processing- industries. Layoffs mounting. NEGOTIATIONS No fur- ther talks scheduled until Mon-. day in New York when Federal mediation chief Joseph Finne- gan meets with industry and union negotiators. DEVELOPMENTS - United Steelworkers President David J. McDonald and top. aides begin tour of major steel centers to tell their story to rank and file. Industry's chief negotiator, R. Conrad Cooper, leaves New York City for rest. PRODUCTION AND WAGE LOSSES-An estimated 300,000 tons of steel daily, with wage losses running $70,000,000 weekly. Strike has cut off nearly 90 per cent of nation's steel- making capacity. ISSUES - Union seeks in- creased wages and improved fringe benefits. Industry claims it would be inflationary to grant demands. *'ba 1 ter Khrushchev Stresses Peaceful Goal SOSNOWIEC, Poland (A') - Nikita S. Khrushchev gave his solemn pledge to a cheering crowd yesterday "that never, never, never, shall we launch any war against any country anywhere at any time." "We want coexistence," the visiting premier told the third In- ternational Congress of Miners Unions. "We don't want war. We don't need war. Neither do the capitalist countries." Boasting of the rocket might of "Imagine the size of the bomb that could be contained in our missiles compared with the size which could be contained in yours. You cannot equal us." .-.-',,.*-'.--.*......... . . *..... . . This remark brought a roar of cheers from the delegates, assem- bled from many countries for the Communist-sponsored conference. "We have much better equip- ment than the United States, which will never be able to catch up with us technically," Khrush- chev went on after the cheering subsided. "We are first technically, but second to the United States in all economic fields." Predicting world victory for Communism was inevitable, Khrushchev told the conference that visiting capitalists in Moscow often complained to him that "You Communists use Communist parties in other countries to inter- fere in other people's affairs." "My answer is that Communist, parties exist wherever there is misery and are the best expression of the interests of the working masses," Khrushchev said. Khrushchev also devoted con-
