Big Reports
BY JAMES E. ROPER

Vice President Nixon today
gave Congressional leaders a
confidential report on the
Geneva conference-apparently
emphasizing the friendly at
mosphere which President Eisen-
hover found at the Big -Four
meeting.
Mr.. Nixon and Undersecre-
|tary Of State Herbert Hoover, jr.,
this morning went over all the
dispatches which the State De-
|partment had received during
the last "a hours from the Amer
ican delegation at Geneva. Then
they prepared a two-page type
written summary emphasizing
the main points of the East
West exchanges and giving some
Interpretation of them.
Mr.. Nixon gave copies of the
summary to the Democratic and
Republican leaders of the Senate
and House and posted copies for
examination by members of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee and the House Foreign
Affairs Committee.
Details of the summary were
supposed to be kept secret but
one person familiar with the
report said it reflected the feel
ing of great friendliness and the
general atmosphere Of cordiality
existing in Geneva.
Today's report to Congress
was in fulfillment of Mr.. Eisen-
hower's pledge that he would
keep Congress informed of day
10 day developments at Geneva.
Mr.. Nixon conferred with Mr..
Hoover yesterday on the dis
patches covering the opening
day Of the conference but agreed
that they offered almost nothing
that had not been reported in
newspapers.
AS a result, Mr.. Nixon trans
mitted only a brief telephone
to Congressional lead
ers yesterday. From here on,
he expects to post daily written
summaries.

Atomic Reoctor Exhibit
Foscinotes Eisenhower

GENEVA, July 20 (P.-Pres-
ident Eisenhower operated an
atomic research reactor today.
He sat at the control panel of
the reactor at United Nations
European headquarters shortly
before going to the summit
conference.
The reactor has been assem-
bled by the United States Atomic
Energy Commission for display
in connection with an interna-
tional atomic conference next
month.
Mr.. Eisenhower was fascinated
oy the reactor, known as the
swimming pool" type. It is SIM
liar to one which he inspected
last month at Pennsylvania
State University, where his
youngest brother Milton is pres
ident.
Comments on Pool
Gazing into the deep pool into
which reactor rods are sub
merged, the President remarked
that it is "only half as big, but
about four times as deep" as the
one at Penn State. Then he
walked from the pool" to the
reactor control room and sat
Evening star., 1955-07-20

down at a panel full of push
buttons.
A guide explained how the
reactor operates and invited Mr.
Eisenhower to put it into action
When the President pushed the
starter button, bells changed
and, indicators in the control
room showed the reactor rods
were being immersed in the
pool"
What are we making
iplutonium or what?" the Presi-
dent inquired.
The guide said some plutonium
was being produced. but mostly
waste fashionable materials"
Reminded of Boyhood
AS he watched the automatic
indicators, Mr.. Eisenhower
laughed and said that reminded
him of a thermometer which he
had to watch when he worked
in a creamery as a boy at
Abilene, Kans.
IF I ever let that thing get a
degree too much, oh. brother, I
was in trouble" Mr.. Eisenhower
said.
He noted that "a nations of
the free world already have
signed agreements with the
United States for participation
in Americas atoms-for peace
program.
In addition. the President said,
students from 19 countries are
studying about the reactors and
atomic materials in the United
States.

Junking NAT0
BY JACK BELL
Associated Press STAFF Writer

Several Senators said today
the free world cannot abandon
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization for any forseeable
agreement with Russia on Ger
man unif1cation.
President Eisenhower appealed
to the Soviets at Geneva yester-
day to accept NATO as a solely
defensive military apparatus.
Russian Premier Bulganin con-
ditionally rejected the appeal.
Senator Barkley, Democrat,
of Kentucky said the West
"can't even consider abandoning
NATO until there has been an
r-tight world security agree
ment." The former Vice Presi-
dent said the atmosphere at
Geneva seems "propitious for
some progress toward composing
the worlds difficult ties" but
that he does not look for any
ironclad agreements to come
from it.
Il think the Russians are US
ing their demand for the dis
solution of NATO as a card in
their diplomatic moves" Sena-
tor Barkley said. "They know,
even if they won't admit it pub
licly, that NATO is only a de-
fensive organization and no Of
fensive threat to them"
Chairman George of the SEN
ate Foreign Relations Commit
tee agreed generally with this
thesis. He added in separate
interview he doesn't believe the
Russians will insist finally on
the dissolution of NATO" as the
price for further discussion of
the German question.
Senator Hickenlooper, Repub-
lican. of Iowa, said he regards
maintenance of NATO as "es-
sential until the whole military
and economic situation of the
world is much more reliable than
1t is now"
Senator Wiley of Wisconsin,
top Republican on the Foreign
Relations Committee, applauded
Mr.. Eisenhower's direct appeal
to Marshal zhukov, a World
War II comrade-in- arms, to-
recognize NATO as a defensive
organization.
This appeal of one old soldier
to another is the kind that
touches the heart of the world"

Rocket Louncher Deal
Defended by Air Force

Air Force officials insisted to

cial Investigations subcommit-
tee today that they were salts
fled with the urgency, propriety
and legality of a $3.6 million
nom competitive contract for
rocket launchers.
They added. however, they
were unhappy" because the
manufacturer has delivered only
about 10000. of the 100000
launchers it was supposed to
supply by this month.
Brig. Gen. Clyde H. Mitchell,
"a top procurement officer at the
Air Development Center at
Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, and
John c. Powell, an Air Force
buyer official, denied that any,
one in the Pentagon or the Air
Force directed" the award of
the contract last year to the
Century Industries, Inc, Of San
Pedro, Calf, without giving
other firms a chance to bid.
They also disputed testimony by
witnesses at hearings earlier
this year that the Navy con-
tracted for substantially the
same type of rocket launchers
at less cost. !

Representative Hebert, Demo-

Judgment in awarding the con-
tract without competitive bids.
1--WE are determined to look
into the comparison of these
Air Force launchers with those
used by the Navy Department
into the costs and into the buy
ing practices involved" Mr
Hebert said. Implicit in this, oi
course, is consideration of the
use of the emergency powers
allowing non-competitive ne
gotiated contracts for purchas-
ing equipment and weapon
material"
Subcommittee members were
particularly insistent in trying
to get the names of Air Force
officials who had final response
bility for the contract award
Mr.. Powell said he himself had
the major share in the decision
He finally told the subcommittee
that the eventual authorization
apparently was given or at least
approved by the director of Ali
Force production and procure
ment.s He did not name the
director. -
Haa No alternative
Gen Iifciaell declared that
under The same circumstances
he would follow exactly. the same
course today that he did last
year in recommending that the
100 900 rocket launchers be pur-
chased from Century Industries
he explained that such a non
competitive contract award was
necessary at the time because
the company was the only one
having the launcher specifica-
tions.
81 He said that so far as he knew
no other manufacturer could
have made the launchers at that
time as a price anywhere as low
as that of Century. He con-
tended also that the need, for
the launchers was urgent because
the Air Force was receiving a
steady supply Of rockets. He ad-
mitted. however. that the COM
pany's delays in deliveries has
forced the Air Force to store
some $4,000 rockets while await
ing that number of launchers.

Mr., Mikoyan's removal from

Mikoyan had been anxious
along with Premier Georgi

N. S. 'Khrushchev, powerful
first secretary of the Commu-

Mr.. Mikoyan's surrender OF
his trade job eoincided with an
editorial in Pravda. the Com
munist Party organ, calling foi
1.-THE Soviet Union to concentrate
on heavy industry instead ,oi
consumer goods.
Western diplomats in Moscow
regarded the article by the pa
per's editor, d. Shepilov, as the
most significant the Soviet press
has published in recent months
The policy it outlined was ex-
pected to be a chief topic OF
discussion at the meeting of the
Supreme Soviet, the Parliament
next month.
Pravda Quotes Stain.
Quoting literally from Stains
writings, the article stressed
priority for heavy industry in
order to insure the safety Of the
Soviet Union.
Mr.. Shepilov said some econ
omists had "rudely distorted
party and government decisions
in 1858 to increase production
of consumer goods by concluding
that "the center Of gravity has
shifted to the development Of
light industry and the produc-
ton of consumer goods"
"If such views had become
widespread" the article con-
tinued, at would have brought
