with Secretary Of State Dulles
today called for high-level Amer
ican-C Chinese Communist nego-
itiations and predicted the even
Etual release OF all Americans now
held In Red China.
Mr.. Krishna Menon, on leay-
ing Mr.. Dulles office, told re-
Iporters his talk with the Secre-
itary Of State had been '.quite
helpful" although he could not
disclose details.
Asked whether he made a plea
for higher level negotiations be-
tween the United States and
Communist China, Mr.. Krishna
lMenon said:
II am sure that all want
progress to be made. II you ask
me If the talks should take
place, the answer is yes
Without people who disagree
talking together. you can't get
anywhere"
Ambassadors Conferring
The United States and Red
China now have ambassadors
Iconferring in Geneva. Mr..
IKrishna Menon, in a speech to
the United Nations General AS
lsembly, and again today. has in
dictated that these talks should
be raised to the foreign minister
level to bring Mr.. Dulles and
Chinese Communist Premier
Foreign Minister Chou En-lai
Ito a face-to-face meeting.
Mr.. Krishna Menon said the
release OF the Americans now
held by Red China may depend
|on the current Geneva discus
|sions under the heading ''other
practical matters"
Eventual Release Seen
Asked II he thought Red China
would release all Americans now
held, MIR. Krishna Menon said:
Eyes, they will come in time.
I don't think anybody wants to
leave them there. It all depends
ION how they make out on the

now underway.
THE Chinese are reviewing
their position on individual cases,
but I don't mean to say they
are being held as hostages"
MIR. Krishna Menon predicted

Senator Watkins. Republican
|os Utah last night challenged
Utah's Gov. j. Bracken Lees
charge that the Eisenhower adj
Iministration Is acting unconstitu-
|tionally.
The dispute broke out at q
state G. o. p. workshop. Gov.
Lee was one Of the speakers.
Senator Watkins said he was
there merely to make q few
Iremarks." But later he said the
Governors talk demanded an
answer"
Gov. Lee recently announced
he was going to. hold back some
lef his 1865 income tax in order
Ito get a ruling by the United
States Supreme Court on the
iconstitut,onality Of foreign aid.
During Gov. Lees talk the Re-
publican Governor. in his second
term of office. said the national
debt was ''tremendous" s"--''oyer
$500 billion"
Cites Treaty Obligation
Senator Watkins retorted this
was not true. He said 1t was
less than $500 billion
Gov. Lee said the .'peacetime
giving Of money" to foreign ma
Itions is not fright. now under q
Republican administration
The Senator answered that
these foreign commitments were
made as q result Of treaties,
some Of which were made before
the Eisenhower administration,
I'VE have to live up to our
treaties" he said.
He added "the income tax is
the law Of the land and we have
to live UP to that
Gov. Lee said he 'felt the
constitutional rights of the
American people are being yio-
lated continually and the only
thing between freedom Of the
people and slavery is the Con-
stitution."
Disputed by Senator
Watkins said the present adj
ministration Is ''the most con-
lstitutional we have had for q
long time"
I'm effect" the Senator added
after the meeting, "the Cover
nor was saying that the Utah
delegation to Congress was act
ing unconstitutionally. If that
were true, the Utah delegation
and not the President should be
Iimpeached.
1T is not true"
Gov. Lee said afterward he
had obtained his figure OF $500
billion from Senator Byrd. DEM
ocrat OF Virginia, and that the
debt Is $278 billions with lin ex-
cess OF $3.50 billion in contingent
liabilities. or debts incurred that
have not yet been paid"

In recent months the Bikini

bomb alone would not produce

DR.. Lapp said that an aston

expected that the super bomb
which was exploded would be

paper had submitted it to the

article was written on the basis

the Japanese, the Swiss, the

He said he is still working to

Another speaker was DR.. Nal.
colin c. Henderson. former
deputy director Of intelligence
for the Acc. He discussed civil
defense in the atomic age.
Preceding these discussions
was a speech by Samuel Lubell.
political analyst and writer.
| He told the editorial writers
that the odds at present favor
"a Republican victory in 1856. He
said in recent years Republicans
have underestimated their
strength.
Bitter Campaign
In 1852. he added, any Re-
publican could have been elected.
The Eisenhower supporters
spread the idea that only Mr..
Eisenhower could win. And, he
said, curiously, these Eisenhower
supporters have kept up that
argument. seeking to persuade
the President to run again.
He predicted q bitter and
pretty dirty campaign in 1856
and added, ''there'll be more
votes stolen than at any time in

The inquiry into Harold E.
Talbott's private business con-
nections turned today to COM
pletely new question-whether
he disposed of stock holdings in
accordance with promises he
made to Senators who confirmed
him as Air Force Secretary.
On Wednesday. before the
Senate Investigating subcom-
mittee which was inqulring into
the propriety of Mr.. Talbott's
business activities, the Secretary
disclosed he had disposed" of
1000 shares of stock in Chrysler
Corp. large defense contractor,
by giving them to his four chill
dren. Two of the children are
minors.
Mr.. Talbot insisted he had
made it clear-in testifying be-
fore the Senate Armed Services
Committee at the time of his ap-
pOAAitAiCAlO Do AL OCCl CGdIJ III
1953-that he might give away
rather than sell stocks in defense
firms.
But it was far from clear to
a number of Senators on that
committee, which recommended
Mr. Talbott's confirmation. They
said today it was their under
standing Mr.. Talbot would COM
pletely divest himself of the
Chrysler stock. They said

New I ronsit Bill Drafted

District Committee members
have been cool to the Senate bill
permitting seizure of the COM
Ipany. The House model might
gain sufficient support for ap-
proval, and possibly could be
framed into a compromise with
the Senate version.
With Commissioner Samuel
Spencer out of the city for q
funeral the other Commissioners
met with staff members today
to draft the new legislation.
They expected to get 1t to the
House some time today.
Embraces Main Points
Gen. Lane said the bill would
include the main points pro-
posed yesterday by the company.
1t would include giving up the
franchise after a year, with the
company agreeing to operate for
the interim period. Labor rates
would be set by the Commits
sioners Any operating cost
deficits would be made up by
the District.
The company would retain its
present liabilities. including the
responsibility Of tearing out
streetcar tracks. .
Gen. Lane said the measure
probably would interpret deficits
to protect the District in any
company effort to write off the
value of streetcars or other
equipment.

tative Hyde, Republican of
Maryland, implored Congress
not to adjourn with the strike
