President Eisenhower thought
up for himself. more than two
months ago, the atomic pool-for-
peace idea with which he stirred
the world last week, his aSsoci.
ateS said yesterday.
The speech in which he finally
announced his proposal in a his
toric appearance before the
United Nations Tuesday was the
product of long hours of pains
taking teamwork by the best
brains the Government could
bring together.
Among those having a hand
in it were experts in such diverse
fields as the splitting of atoms
and the putting of words to-
gether in a way to capture the
imagination of people the world
over.
But from the behind the
scenes story Of the evolution of
that speech emerges the central
picture of a man Mortified by
what he knows atomic war could
do to the world, who, instead

Kefauver Asks Probe
OF $500 Million Deal
With GIN for Tanks
Dangerous Policy
Of Concentration in
One Industry is Cited
BY the Asseeiated Press

Senator Kefauver, Democrat.
Of Tennessee yesterday asked
for a Senate investigation Of a
$20O-million defense contract
with General Motors Corp. which
he said was "for the exclusive
production Of M48 tanks for the
Army"
Senator Kefauver, a member
Of the Senate Armed Services
Committee. said the contract
may represent a dangerous de-
parture from the principle Of
maintaining a very broad de-
tense production base"
He asked Chairman Salton-
stall of the Armed Services Com
mittee to order hearings. say
ing that although the contract
had been announced it was not
yet completed and it may rep
resent a dangerous policy in the
concentration of an extraordi-
nary amount Of power in a sim
gle industry"
Other Questions Involved.
Senator Kefauver said in his
statement that Secretary of the
Army Stevens announced several
weeks ago that General Motors
bid was about Is per cent below
that of the ChrySler Corp, the
only other company now pro-
ducing the M48 tank.
The Senator said he feared
that having only one supplier
of tanks would result in "a loss
of skilled technicians and know
how available to other tank pro-
ducers."
Asserting that many other
basic questions are involved. Sen.
Kefauver also made public ex-
tracts from a letter he had writ
ten to John Slezak, assistant
secretary of the Army, protest.
ing the award of "such a large
contract to one producer,
and thereby making it the ex-
elusive producer of that partic-
ular type of defense equipment"
Savings Questioned.
The Senator told Mr.. Slezak
that billions of dollars of special
defense tax write-offs had been
granted to industries in order to
expand the production base for
possible emergencies. He ques-
toned that overall savings would
result from narrowing this de-
Tense production base.
Senator Kefauver said he
understood the Chrysler bid in
cluded plans to use suppliers
from some 80 States.

nothing has happened by the
end of the week, the time will
have come for a definite de-
cision."
Mr.. Dean would go no further
in explaining this remark.
Peiping radio today broadcast
the first Red reaction to the
walkout of Mr.. Dean yesterday
during a long and sizzling meet
ing of the negotiators.
Calls Hopes Wrecked
The Red radio. heard in
Tokyo. took an expected line in
declaring that Mr.. Deans action
wrecks the hopes for an early
peaceful settlement of the Ko-
rean question to ease tension in
the world"
It said breaking off the talks
"has given the lie" to the de-
clared intention of the United
States Government announced in
joint statement after last
weeks Bermuda conference with
Britain and France.
Peiping radio quoted the allied
communique as saying. "the i'm
mediate objective of our policy
continues to be the convening of
the political (peace) conference
provided, for in the Korean arm
istice agreement"
Then the Communists said,
Deans provocative action has
thoroughly unveiled Washing
tons plot to obstruct the con-
vening Of the political confer
ence."
NegOtiatOr's Taunts Revealed.
At one point the Red broad
cast revealed that Chinese dele
gate Huang Hua dared and
taunted Mr.. Dean to break off
the talks with these words: IF
you do not dare to bear the re-
Sponsibility for breaking off
these discussions. I propose to
recess until Monday"
Mr.. Dean was described by the ,
Reds as "Glowering." with his
ears red with rage.
At his Seoul press conference
today MIR. Dean reviewed Satur-
days 5-hour and 45-minute ses-
sion. He told newsmen that the
Communists became progressive
ly more rude and insulting.
"Since about November 90"
Mr.. Dean added, "they have
been stepping up their rudeness
and arrogance, particularly in
tone Of voice. They have been
bringing up the matter of the
prisoners more and more"
Negotiators Follow Radio.
In their statements, the Com
muniSt negotiators have been
"parroting" the anti-allied prop
aganda broadcasts of the Peiping
radio almost word for word"
Mr.. Dean said.
Mr. Dean said yesterday he
would not go back to the con-
ference hut unless the Commu-
nists messaged a retraction Of
their charge that the United

$100-a-plate banquet here, the
1852 party nominee spoke kindly
of President Eisenhower. But he
deftly drew a distinction be-
tween the President and other
leading figures now on the
Washington scene.
II only wish President Eisen-
hover could speak for the Eisen-
hover administration" Mr.. Ste
venson said.
The former Illinois Governor
lambasted Attorney General
Brownell for attacks on former
President Truman in the Harry
Dexter White case.
y Bill of Rights Besieged.
Without mentioning Senator
Mccarthy or Senator Jenner by
name, he said the Liberty Bell
gives an uncertain sound in the
confusing clamor" of these
times. and added:
"The Bill of Rights is be-
sieged, ancient liberties in
fringed, reckless words uttered,
vigilante groups are formed, sus-
picion, mistrust and fear stalk
the land. and political PARTISAN
ship raises strange and ugly
heads, the security Of secret files
is violated, and the spectre of
a political police emerges."
"We begin to resemble the very
thing we dread" he continued.
1.-THE Attorney General, the
chief law enforcement officer Of
the Nation. the very embodi-
ment of our concept of justice,
has even imputed disloyalty or
Communist sympathy to a for
mer President while our allies,
whom he organized. aided and
armed to fight communism the
world around listen in bewilder-
ment and disgust"
Testifying before the Jenner
committee on the White case.
Mr.. Brownell denied that he
questioned Mr.. Truman's patri-
otism. Mr.. Brownell said he felt
Mr.. Truman had been blind in
dealing with the matter eight
years ago.
Praises Dulles Stand.
Again without mentioning
names, Mr.. Stevenson applauded
Secretary Of State Dulles for
his emphatic rejection of re-
cent assaults on our allies by
Republican Senator'S" This ap-
peared to refer in part to the
administrations rejection Of
Senator McCarthy's demand
that American aid be denied any
nation which trades with Red
China.
Other highlights of the Ste
venson speech were:
/. He warmly thanked PreSi-
dent Eisenhower for his move
to bring Russia into an agree
ment for peaceful use of atomic
energy.
2. Declared that what the Re-
publicans do or don't do now is
more important than what the
Democrats did or didn't do seven
or eight years ago.
8. Urged steps to encourage
foreign trade.
Mr.. Stevenson's speech con-
tanned his usual sprinkling Of
sage humor. In emphasizing
that Americas allies must trade
in order to survive, he remarked: {:
II doubt if any one is going
to starve to prove to us how
anti-C Communist they are"
Again, he said that lately
some Republicans sact as
though they will stop at Moth
ing til they get Dwight Eisen-
hover out of the White House"
The titular head Of the DEM
ocrats suggested that If the ad-
miniStration would start a "cru-
SADIE to combat the Communist
conspiracy without resorting to
Communist methods to do it" a
lot of help could be obtained
from the Democrats for such a
crusade.

victim Of a bungled holdup job,
police theorized. He was shot
late Friday night after he
stepped out Of a car in the 1900
block Of Fourteenth street NV
Capt. Richard E. Felber. chief
of the homicide squad. said de-
tectives had questioned hundreds
of persons by last night. A spe-
cial squad of 20 policemen con-
centrated their search for the
two suspects in the Fourteenth
street area. Capt. Felber said.
Mr.. Lindstedt had stepped
from a friends car near the
Covered Wagon. a night club on
Fourteenth street. when two
young colored men beckoned to
him.
Shot Through Heart.
According to Robert NJ
O'Connor, a wartime buddy Of
Mr.. Lindstedt who was with him
at the time, one of the youths
wanted to bum a cigarette.
Mr.. O'Connor told police he
heard his friend say. "Oh, no
you don't" when the two youths
approached. Another voice said,
Don't shoot him." as Mr.. Lind
stedt stepped back with his right
hand raised. A shot was fired
and he fell into the arms of Mr.
O'Connor as the two youths fled
He was shot through the heart
and died minutes later
Capt. Felber said the two
youths had been described as
about 10 to 20 years old and
about five feet. nine inches tall,
They were said to have medium
brown skin and were clean
shaven. One wore a "bebop" cap,
a short gray jacket and dark
trousers. Police believe the one
wearing the bebop cap did the
shooting.
No Motive Turned Up.
Despite a thorough search of
che area with police contracting
their sources. Capt. Felber said
as yet no positive motive had
oeen turned up.
Mr.. Lindstedt, native of
Georgia. was living here with
his sister. Mrs. Alex M. Luchak,
at 900 East Estabrook drive. An
nandale. He had taken a Job as
technician with Melpar, Inc, an
electronics plant, only a few days
ago.
His mother. who lives at S14
East Estabrook drive, was re-
ported to be in a state of shock
asst night.
In Korea, where he was sta
toned for over two years. Mr.
Lindstedt was a radio and radar
technician who installed and
tested such equipment on Marine
jet night fighters.

promised in advance to give
"seriouS attention" to Gen. Eli
sehhower's speech last Tuesday
before the United Nations Cen
e4al Assembly.
In that speech, Gen. Eisen-
mower proposed that Russia join
/the West in contributing atomic
materials to a pool for peaceful
use such as the manufacture of
electricity in undeveloped areas.
Attention Promised.
Radio Moscow, in overseas
broadcastS, Immediately de-
nounced the Eisenhower speech
as threatening atomic war;"
but yesterday the Soviet Foreign
Office said:
ION December Z, Mr.. (Charles
E) Bohlen, Ambassador of the
United States of America, visited
Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molo-.
tov, U. S. S. r. Minister of For
eign Affairs. and told him of a
speech to be made December 8
by President Eisenhower in the
General Assembly of the United
Nations on the question of atomic
ornaments.
'On behalf Of his Government.
the Ambassador requested that
attention be given to, proposals
which would be made in the
speech of the United States
President.
Having thanked the Ambas-
Sador for the information. v. M.
Molotov said the question Of
atomic weapons was a very inn
portant matter and that the
Soviet government would give
the speech of the United States
President on that question seri-
Gus attention, as it had done In
similar cases in the past.
ION December 9, in a letter
addressed to v. M. Molotov. Mr..
Bohlen sent excerpts from the
above speech by President Eisen-
hover"
Encouraging Report
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty studied the
Soviet statement. and then told
newsmen:
This is a most encouraging
report. But we would expect
they would give serious consider
alton to a serious proposal by
the President of the United
States"
A State Department spokes-
man had only this comment:
1--WE consider this a normal
reaction, and would naturally
expect proposal Of as serious
a nature as this to get serious
consideration"
Secretary of State Dulles. ar
irving in Paris for a meeting Of
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization, said the American
Government is sincerely hopeful
the Soviet Union will accept the
pool plan, the Associated Press
reported.
Raises Cautious Hopes.
British officials said the Soviet
statement raises rather cautious
hopes"
American observers noted that
the original Radio Moscow at
tack on the Eisenhower plan was
broadcast overseas. The Soviet
Foreign Office statement was
broadcast to the Russian people
as well as to foreigners.
There was speculation that un-
favorable world reaction to the
first Moscow statements might
have encouraged the Russians
to take an easier attitude today.
The SovietS. however. still have
opportunities to take any stand
they finally decide upon.
Reporters sought information
yesterday from Andrei Y. Vishin-
sky. the Soviet delegate to U. NJ.
as he sailed home from New York
abroad the French liner Liberte.
To reporters questions, Mr..
