'Honest Basis' in Talks
Is Asked by Khrushchev
MOSCOW, July 5 (£•).—Com-j:
munist Party Secretary Nikita :
Khruschev said yesterday that
Russia wants an agreement “on
an honest basis” at the Geneva
summit talks but is strong 1
enough to wait if the West is *
not prepared to negotiate seri- 1
ously.
Mr. Khrushchev’s host at all
United States Embassy’s Fourth
of July party. Charge d’Affaires 1
W. Noyes Walmsley, replied: "I
do not think the President of the
United States would go to
Geneva without serious reasons.” j
The Communist Party chief
and other top Russ la BP officials.
Including Premier Nikloi Bul
ganin, puMn a surprise appear
ance at the party. No such high
ranking group of Soviet leaders
have ever before attended an
Embassy function.
In a speech he said he wanted
to make to the guests, Mr.
Khrushchev said the Russians 1
are not going to the July 18 con
ference “with broken legs”—j
crippled by harvest failures or
other breakdowns in theoSoviet
economy.
Talks on Equal Basis
“We are going upright like
soldiers to meet with worthy
partners, and that is the only
right way.” he declared. “If we
talk on an equal basis, all parties,
and if the talks are honest and
sincere, equal to ejua), some
thing will come of It.”
The party was held In the
elm-shaded garden of Spasso
House, Ambassador Charles E.
Bohlen’s residence. In addition
to Mr. Khrushchev and Marshall
Bulganin, former Premier Georgi
Malenkov, First Deputy Pre
miers A. I. Mikoyan and Lazar
Kaganovich and Defense Minis
ter Georgi Zhukov were among
the Soviet bigwigs on hand.
With Mr. Bohlen in the
United States helping Mr. Eisen
hower prepare for the Geneva
talks. Mr. Walmsley and Mrs.
Bohlen did the honors.
Asserting that people in the
West “pay little attention to
what we say and prefer to read
tea leaves,” Mr. Khrushchev told
Mr. Walmsley:
“They ponder why the Soviet
Union has made so many pro
posals that please the West so
much. Os course we made these
proposals not for the purpose of
pleasing somebody. We made
these decisions because they
were the right decisions and this
is what motivated us.”
The Boviet chief added that
some people “think that if the
Soviet Union makes a contribu
tion there was something that

forced it to make that decision
and even that the Soviet Union
, was afraid of some catastrophe
iif she did not.”
Mr. Walmsley commented
that the reason for holding the
Geneva conference was the lack
of unanimity among the great
| powers. If such unanimity ex
isted, there would be no need
for the conference, he pointed
out.
“We are delighted to go to
Geneva,” Mr. Khrushchev said,
“but if you are not prepared to
! talk BWiously we can wait and!
hold on.”
Noting that some people are
saying that one reason behind
Russia’s desire for agreement
with, the West is * l»d harvest,
the Communist chief said:
“I want to tell them that we
> have never had a more solid
situation than now. Our agri
culture is in full swing; I don’t
care whether you like it or not.
5: Our industry is overfulfilling its
- plans. .. . Our construction is
-all right although I, myself,
made a very critical speech at
; the conference of builders.
Party Derlared Solid
“The solidarity of our party
, has, never been such as it is
; now,” he added, “and as for
, the unity of the people with the
, party—you send people around
the country: You can judge
| for yourself.”
Mr. Khrushchev said he liked
a statement by Mr. Eisenhower
, at the President’s press con
ference last Wednesday—but
1 "not all of it.”
“I must tell the truth: There
, were right things and wrong
things,” he said. “I think that
in any case what he said was
, a fresh stream of ozone. .. .”
Mr. Eisenhower told newsmen
last week he was more optimistic
than two months ago that the
Geneva talks might accomplish
something useful,
j The President said it was obvi
ous that a change had taken
place of late in the Soviet atti
tude toward world problems but
that no one really knew who
i was the dominating influence in
I the SoViet government.
No Monopoly or Ideas
Mr. Walmsley said it was not
, surprising that Mr. Khrushchev
should disagree with some of Mr.
i Eisenhower s remarks.
: “That is why we are going to
Geneva,” he said. If we go with
> our own ideas of what can be
’ achieved, that is not the mono
i poly of the United States alone.
Every country can bring its own
t ideas.
* “I’m glad we are going to
■ Geneva.” the charge d'affaires
t added. “The reason for our going
■ are our disagreements.”
Mr. Walmsley said he thought
- that Mr. Khrushchev had been
1 misinformed about United States
; press speculation concerning the

conference, which the Commu
nist chief had described as “ir
responsible.”
“I think the speculation has
been not so much about the wis
dom of the Soviet Union’s steps.”
he said, “but the timing. Per
haps these steps might have been
taken earlier.”
Later in the party, Mr.
Khrushchev left the subject of
the Geneva conference to tell
Maj William Fife of Johnson
City, Tenn., that in case of a
war he hoped the United States
and Russia would be on the
same side.
“I want to talk to> a military
man,” he told Maj. Fife, who is
assistant United States air at
tache. “I know ye do not wtfrjt
war and-I know that you do not.
If there'must Tie a war, let’s be
on the same side.”
The Soviets put on a spec
tacular air show Sunday in
which they unveiled new super
sonic jet fighters . and. again
showed thfeir hew intercontinen
tal jet bomber. A sleek twin
engine Jet transport was an
other-star attraction of the dis
play.
At one point in the party.
Marshal Bulganin proposed a
toast to the success of the talks
at which he. President Eisen
hower, British Prime Minister
Eden and French Premier Faure
will be the principal figures.
Marshal Bulganin said he
would arrive in Geneva about
July 17, the date he said he un
derstood Mr. Eisenhower was
planning to get there. He de
clined to discuss the makeup of
his delegation. The only mem
ber so far known is Foreign Mln
ister V. M. Molotov.
Tito Foe Regrets
Khrushchev Attack
TRIESTE. Italy, -July & UP),—
Trieste Communist Leader Vit
torio Vidali announced last night
he had been “gravely mistaken”
in attacking Soviet Party Chief
Nikita Khrushchev for apologiz
ing to Yugoslav President Tito.
Vtdali’s weekly ‘ newspaper,
The Worker, said a long edi
torial in its May 30 edition be
rating Mr. Khrushchev was
based on a “hasty and erroneous
|interpretation” of the Russian
Communist leader's words,
j The May 30 editorial com
mented on a speech Mr. Krush
chev made during his recent
visit to Yugoslavia with Soviet
Premier Nikolai Bulganin. In
his remarks the Russian party
bos<- blamed the Cominform’s
1948 expulsion of Tito on "en
emies of the people.”
Asserting the expulsion was
caused by Tito’s “exaggerated
nationalism disguised as social
ism. and by his political and
physical terrorism," the news
paper said it had been in full
agreement with his ouster and
“that i why we cannot be in
solidarity with the statement of
Comrade Khrushchev.”

1,000 lo Pray
For Sick Child
CHICAGO. July S OP). —A
young mother’s appeal for
prayers for her little daughter,
a victim of sleeping sickness, has
been answered by a flood of let
ters from around the world.
It was two weeks ago that
Mrs. Joan Hadfield, 24, asked
that prayers be offered for her
daughter, Debbie Ann, who was
stricken with encephalitis last
November 13. Debbie Ann was
released from Billings Hospital
April 29, still in a coma, and Is
being cared for in her home in
suburban Park Ridge.
Mrs. Hadfield said more than
1,000 letters from throughout
the Nation and from Canada,
Mexico and European countries
have been received. She said all
the writers promised prayers far
Debbie Ann, who will be 3 on
August 5.
Hundreds of telephone calls
have been received by Mrs. Had
field or her husband. William,
24. an insurance salesman.
Mrs. Hadfield said many of
the letters and callers told of
similar ordeals and urged the
Hadflelds not to give up hope.
A soldier In Germany told of his
own recovery from the disease.
' “There must be thousands
more who did not write, but are
praying.” Mrs. Hadfield said.
‘lt’s made me feel so much hap
pier. It’s so nice to know that
people care.”
Many faiths are represented in
the letters, Mrs. Hadfield said.
The Hadflelds prayed for Debbie
Ann Sunday In their Lutheran
Church and the child’s grand-j
mother .prayed in a Catholic
Church. »
“I di*7 think f’e’Ve missed a;
religioi£” said Mrs. Hadfield.l
“Thpuapmds of masses have been;
offered for her. She has been
written up in church bulletins.
Ministers have led prayers for
her. We have letters from con
vents and people have prayed
at shrines.” ,
Mrs. Hadfield expressed grati
fication at the response to her
appeal for prayers and asked
that the prayers be continued.
As a sign of her own faith she
has placed in Debbie Ann’s bed
a teddy bear and a small doll.
Mrs Hadfield said the child
appears to be holding her own
and seems less subject to dan
gerous choking spells.

Britain Gives Up Control
Os Key South Africa Base
LONDON, July S UP)- —Britain
is turning over control of the big
royal navy base at Slmonstown,
South Africa, to the Johannes
burg government. But she re
tains the right to use it for her
self and her allies in wartime,
even if South Africa remains
neutral.
Prime Minister Eden an
nounced the agreement on the
transfer to the House of Com
mons yesterday.
South African nationalists in
sisted on the move, which must
be completed in 21 months. Ne
gotiations on the question hsve
continued for several years.
Simonstown. 21 miles south of
Capetown, was set up as a naval
base when Lord Nelson was as
sembling the ships with which
he won the Battle of Trafalgar
in 1805. It serves as a halfway
house for warships and troop
carriers sailing between Europe
and Asia or the Middle East via
the Cape of Good Hope and is
of prime importance if the Medi-j
terranean Is closed.
Sir Anthony said Britain also,
would be permitted to share the 1
base’s facilties in peacetime. He
said the move was made to give
more room for South Africa’s
own expanding navy.
The Prime Minister also said:
Sparkman Says Russia
Leads in Jet Air Power
HUNTSVILLE. Ala., July 5
Senator Sparkman, Democrat, of t
Alabama, today said the Defense ;i
Department has admitted under ]
congressional pressure that Rus
sian strength In jet fighters and 1
modern light Jet bombers ex-jl
ceeds that of the entire free 1
if
world. I)
He asserted that Republican ■
administration officials, backed ;j
by President Eisenhower, disre-j
garded military experts in 1953
and curtailed a carefully planned
Air Force expansion program, j
The cuts were restored in 1954, t
said Senator Sparkman, but this t
country’s defense program has *
not yet recovered.
Senator Sparkman accused the
Defense Department and Air
Force officials of refusing “to;
face the known facts about Rus
sia’s increasing strength and to;
make those facts known to the;
American people.
“They even refused to declas-j
sify and release to the American!
people the photographs taken of
the Air Force show held in Mos
cow last May.”
Senator Sparkman's remarks
iwere In an address prepared for
delivery at the State American
Legion convention today.
"Many suspect that this In
formation was held back for fear
that public knowledge of it would
force the administration to re
quest additional money to step
up American manufacture of jet
fighters and jet bombers,”
Senator Sparkman asserted.
“It was not until members of
Congress Insisted that the Amer
ican people be told the truth as
to our lag in air power when
confronted with Russia's that
the Defense Department ad
mitted that the Soviet Com
munists have more jet fighters
and modern light jet bombers
than the United States and the
entire free world combined.”

PANMUNJOM, July i UP).—
jThe United Nations Command
; today accused the Communists
of repeated and ljagrant viola
tions of the Korean truce agree
ment. and demanded a strict ac
counting of combat material
brought into Korea by the Reds.
Maj., Gen. Harlan C. Parks,
senior U. N. member on the
Military Armistice Commission,
said the Reds were guilty of
“complete insincerity, dishonesty
and utter lack of integrity” in
maintaining the armistice agree
ment.
A few hours later Gen. Parks
barred allied newsmen from a
press conference called by the
3 Communist delegate. North
D Korean Gen. Lee Sang Cho.
j Gen. Parks told “the newsmen:
j "I do not consider it appro
priate that representatives of
s the enemy side enter my camp to
i attend my press conference.
1 Conversely, Ido not think ac
credited correspondents of the
- U. N. C. should enter their camp
for similar conferences.”
First Ban in Four Yean
It was the first such prohibi
tion in the four-year history of
the Panmunjom negotiations
and conferences.
