Dulles to Fly
To Europe for
Urgent Talks
Unity Conferences
Set Up in Bonn,
London and Paris
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Pros Staff Writer
' Secretary of State Dulles will
fly to Europe this week for ur
gent consultations with British,
French and West German lead
ers.
His evident mission is to try
to wipe out allied differences
and get better policy agree
ments on approaching an East-
West foreign ministers meeting
and averting a possible spring
crisis over Berlin.
The State Department an
nounced yesterday that Mr.
Dulles will leave here Tuesday.
He will stop first in London,
then go on to Paris and finally
to Bonn. He will be gone about
a week.
His main purpose is to talk
with foreign ministers, officials
said. But it was considered cer
tain he would see British Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan.
.French President Charles de
Oaulle and West German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer as well
for important and possibly de
cisive talks. He will also consult
with NATO Secretary-General
Paul Henri Spaak in Paris.
Talks Asked by U. S.
Mr. Dulles took the initiative j
In setting up the consultations,
the State Department an
nouncement indicated, having
decided “it would be useful at
the present stage of develop
ments In Europe for him to
exchange views personally with
the governments of the United
Kingdom. France and Ger
many.”
While thus seeking to close
allied ranks. Secretary Dulles
was also reported planning to
bid for close co-operation on
the United States congressional
front.’ Aides said he will seek
a new basis of practical associ
ation, with the incoming chair
man of the Senate Foreign Re-j
latipns Committee, Senator Ful-1
bright. Democrat of Arkansas.
Senator Fulbright will succeed
Senator Oreen, Democrat of
Rhode Island.
For years Senator Fulbright
has been regarded in the State
Department as Mr. Dulles’ bit-1
terest critic in the Senate com
mittee. Dulles aides hope, how
ever, that with Senator Ful
bright in his new position a lit
tle good will and a commitment
to close consultation will es
tablish a new basis on which
the two can work together.
State Department officials
said that for the next few
months agreement between Mr.
Dulles and the congressional
foreign policy leadership would
be particularly important in
view of the developing Berlin
problem and the prospects for
a foreign ministers meeting with
the Russians.
Mr. Dalles’ trip introduces a
note of' urgency into allied
planning which has been going
on intensively for several
weeks.
There was evidence of allied
disagreement earlier this
month when the Secretary told
a news conference that East
and West Germany might be
unified by some means other
than free elections. Mr. Ade
nauer’s government became
alarmed over the possibility
that the United States was
abandoning the free elections

Later, all sides issued
'reassuring statements that did
not 'really change anything!

CHILLY DAY IN MOSCOW—Bundled up in overcoats against the cold

with other delegates to the 21st Congress of the Russian Communist
Party.—AP Wirephoto via Radio from Moscow.
I
Mikoyan Regards U. S.
As Disposed to Coexist
Tells Communist Congress He Heard
No Talk of Containment in Visit Here
MOSCOW, Jan. 31 (AP).—Deputy Soviet Premier Anastas
I. Mikoyan said today he deduced from his visit to the
States that American leaders "are disposed to follow a policy"
of peaceful co-existence.”
Mr. Mikoyan spoke to the 21st Congress of the Soviet
Communist Party. Describing his talks with leaders in the
United States, Mr. Mikoyan
said: i
"I no longer heard the for
mer statements about the pol- ’
icy of containment, of thrust
ing back and so on.
“The impression was created
that the U. S. A. does not want
to interfere in the internal af
fairs of Socialist < Communist) ]
countries. From this the de-jl
duction could be drawn that
the United States Government
leaders are disposed to follow ,
a policy of peaceful co-exist- •
ence. ,
“I that is so. then deeds must
follow words.” (
Hammers at Dulles
i:
Mr. Miyokan then swung •
into an attack on United States
Secretary of State Dulles. Re- ;
ferring to Dulles statements at
a news conference on January
27, Mr. Mikoyan said these (
“did not show that Dulles was .
true to the spirit of the state
ments he made at the time
of our meeting.”
<Mr. Dulles told his news
conference he did not feel
there was a genuine Soviet
desire to end the cold war,
but “there is a very strong
desire to delude us into
thinking the cold war is
ended.”
(The Soviet coined phrase
“peaceful coexistence” has
found little acceptance in
the West because it is often
interpreted as a passive pos
ture opening the way to
Communist penetration. The
policy of containment has
been credited to George F.
Kennan. United States dip
lomat, who advocated holding
the line against further Com
munist advances. This policy
was assailed in 1952 by Secre
tary Dulles, who advocated
a more vigorous policy of
pushing communism back
from satellite countries.)
Mr. Mikoyan said “the Amer
ican people and the representa
tives of United States are fed
up with the cold war.”
Americans, he added, “real
ize how fearful a war employ
ing modern types of weapons
will be.
"In such a war it would not
only be impossible to ‘do busi

Bv CROSBY S. NOYES
European Correspondent ol The Star
MONACO, Jan. 31.—As the
last remaining Christian Prince
claiming to rule “by the grace
of God," Rainier HI of Monaco
has never been one to take
either himself or his job
lightly.
The visiting journalist is
sternly warned against un
seemly levity in discussing the
problems of a sovereign who
undoubtedly wields more power:
over fewer people than any
other ruler in the world. And
indeed Prince Rainier’s most
recent assertion of this power
in suspending Monaco’s 48-
year-old constitution and dis
solving its Parliament is hardly
a laughing matter.
So far. to be sure, the stern
proclamations plastering the
town's pink stucco walls have
produced precious little reac
tion. The only angry mobs in
the street of Monaco are those

warfare would cause countless <
losses to the United States peo- ;

i:
Pleads for Trade
Mr. Mikoyan made a strong i
plea for more trading between i
the United States and the So
viet Union.
“We do not intend to buy 1
arms from America.” ht said.
"We have enough of our own
and of better quality.”
He said Russia was ready to
conclude trade agreements with
America for three, five or seven
years—if the United States
would lift “discriminatory tar
iffs off the traditional items of
Soviet export.”
During his United States
visit, he added, he was asked
about relations between Russia
and Red China.
“This question was clearly
not asked out of good will,” Mr.
Mikoyan told the congress.
“The desire to learn whether
some crack exists in the rela
tions between our countries
was apparent . . .
“I told them then that that
was a dream ...
“We shall take cate of this
friendship like the apple of our
eye.”
Raps Antl-Prrty Group
Mr. Mikoyan assailed the
Soviet anti-party group led by
V. M. Molotov and Georgi Mal
enkov, as many other speakers
have done. He declared the
graced group “has not increased
by a single man since it vi*as
exposed.”
He obviously sought to show

Hungary Curbs
U. S. Legation
Retaliation Follows
Rejection of Note
BUDAPEST, Jan. 31 'AP).—
'Hungary tonight announced it
is curtailing the activities of
the United States legation here.
A foreign ministry statement
distributed by the official news
igency MTI said Hungary feels
compelled to take the step be
cause of United States reaction
to a January 27 note propos- j
ing diplomatic negotiations to
settle differences between the
two countries.
The Hungarian announce
ment came less than five hours
after the American legation
returned the note as unaccept
able on the ground it was
offensive and contained a
veiled threat.
I
Curbs Not Defined
The United States legation’s
announcement that it had
sent back the note came at
the same time the Hungarian
government made its limita
tion action known. The Hun
garians did not define the
limitation to be imposed and
the United States legation said
it had not yet received notice
of any such action.
The foreign ministry state
ment referred to previous com
plaints of “undermining work
of the American legation in
Budapest and illegal American
bodies against the state and
social order of the Hungarian
people's republic.”
It said that rejection of it»
note showed the United States
was not prepared to settle
these problems in a diplomatic
way and “thus compels the
government—while again ex
pressing its unchanged desire
to normalize relations —to take
the necessary steps to limit
these activities which con
stitute a danger to the state
'and social order.”
Calls Tone Unacceptable
James W. Pratt returned
the note as head of the United
States Legation in the absence
of Charge d’Affaires Garret
G. AckersOn, jr. Mr. Pratt
said he acted on instructions
!from Washington. He also said
Mr. Ackerson. who left for a
vacation yesterday, is returning
to Budapest.
Mr. Pratt said he told Karoly

and Western European section
of the foreign office, that the

Compulsory School
Law Killed in Virginia
Regional Plan
Stressed in
Metro Report
Two New Agencies
Asked to Promote ?
Orderly Growth ”
By GEORGE BEVERIDGE j,
Star Staff Writer
A "new and limited structure *
of metropolitan government” to “j
promote more orderly growth
of the National Capital Area
was proposed yesterday by
special House-Senate commit- i;
tee.
The proposals call on Con- .
gress to recognize a strong ,
"Federal interest” in the entile J'
Washington area, while at the 0
same time preserving local au
tonomy in the Maryland and e
Virginia suburbs. They pro- *
pose drastic changes in some ®
agencies, elimination of some 1
and formation of others, along 1
with a number of increases in
Federal aid.
They came in a unanimously '
approved “final report” of the 11
Joint Committee on Metropoli- 8
tan Problems, headed by Sena
tor Bible. Democrat of Nevada, 8
after a year-long study.
The key emphasis of the re- 1
port is on the need for regional
machinery to develop effective :
area-wide public works sys-j
terns, including transportation,:
water supply, and sewage dis
posal.
Two Main Groups
This job. the report proposes,!
would be handled by two main
groups —a Federal regional
planning agency to draw an
area-wide plan of public works
improvements, and an organ
ization of local officials from
every part of the region to work
toward carrying out the plan.
The proposed Regional Plan
ning Council would be wholly a
Federal agency, with members
appointed by the President
from the region and financed
with Federal funds. In addi
tion to clearly defined regional
plans, it would handle Federal
development projects.
It would have no authority"
whatsoever, however, over zon
ing and other land-use controls
in local areas. Rather, each
local area would be asked to
adopt the regional proposals as
part of their own plans.
The second regional, group
would develop from the present
Washington Metropolitan Re
gional Conference, a loosely
organized voluntary organiza- ]
tion of governing officials from ,
each part of the Washington ■
area.
Main Function
The main function of the ]
strengthened Regional Confer- ,
ence, the report said, would be
to “protect local interests’’ in
the regional setup, to set gen
eral policy on regional projects. (
and to try to get them carried
out.
Eventually, the report said
its members should be elected
from each part of the region
and it should be empowered to
get small taxes from each
jurisdiction to support itself.
This combination of clearly
defined “Federal" and “local”
interests in a “bi-cameral”
regional organization, the re
port said, is essential to co
ordinate development projects,
without breaking down the
present balance of political
power between Federal and
local governments.
Other Highlights
Here are other highlights of
the report:
1. Eventual formation of a
“Metropolitan Fiscal Agency,”
set up by Congress, with powers
ito issue bonds to finance re- 1
gional works programs. Mostly. 1
these would be “self-support
ing” projects, such as water
and sewer improvements, which
would produce revenues to pay
off the bonds.
No firm fiscal policies can be
determined, however, the re- ,
port said, until after there is
agreement on a regional trans
, portation system. Transporta
tion will account for almost
three-fourths of a total public i
works bill of $4 billion—esti-
