Russia and Indian
Prenliers Toast
All Peacemakers'
BY STANLEY JOHNSON

MOSCOW, R-The premiers of
Russia and India toasted each
other as champions of peace last
night and chorused hopes the rest
of the world would follow in
their footsteps.
The exchange took place at a
Kremlin dinner honoring India's
Prime Minister Nehru. Russia's
top leaders were present.
Soviet Premier Nikolai A. Bull
ganin led off by voicing hope that
the joint efforts of India, Russia
and Red China could lease the
tension" over Formosa.
Everyone knows the leader
ship exercised by Mr.. Nehru in
the cause of peace" said Bull
ganin. ''The government of the
Chinese Peoples Republic to-
gether with our own government
is taking all possible measures to
ease tension off the east coast of
China. This is in the region of
Taiwan Formosa). Lately the
news has come to us of the repre-
sensations made by the Indian
representative Krishna Menon.
Let us hope that our joint eff
forts ease the tensions"
Il hope your hand stretched
out for peace will be held by
Others" Nehru responded. "Since
I came to your great country, I
have sensed the strong desire and
yearning Of your people for peace.
My people echo that yearning as
do other people"
Then Nehru and Bulganin
raised their glasses and toasted
call peacemakers."

President Signs
Law Raising Pay
Of Postal Workers

WASHINGTON, Up President
Eisenhower today signed into law
the bill raising salaries of the
100000 postal workers an average
8 per cent-an increase Of about
1914 million dollars a year.
He called it the greatest for
ward step for our postal employees
in more than a century"
The bill was the third postal
pay hike measure sent to the
President in 10 months. He vetoed
the other two.
The bill gives all postal en-
ployes a 6 per cent increase re-
troactive to March l. This will
mean distribution of a 40-million-
dollar nest egg as soon as the
department can arrange the pay
mentS.
The additional 2 per cent OF
the increase comes about through
the Redistribution features of the
measure. These will take effect
six months from now.
The Redistribution will mean
much bigger increases than per
cent for some supervisory en-
ployes. The department contends
these have been sighted in sal
airy raises since World War III.

Canadian Mining Town
Threatened BY Slides

FRANK, Alta, tR-The remain
ing residents Of a once-bustling
coal-mining town in southwest
ern Alberta waited in fear today
after Turtle Mountain renewed
its rumblings.
Smoke or dust issued from a
fissure on the moutain's side since
early Wednesday and the normal
springtime rockfalls combined to
revive memories of the early
morning slide So years ago that
swept over homes, a mining plant
and railway siding killing at least
IS persons in the village at its
base.
Vern de Coux, a resident OF
nearby Blairmore, said boulder
that roared down the mountain
side Thursday was the largest in
memory since the 1903 slide.
II looked at the mountain to-
day through binoculars" De Coux
said. Il wasn't sure whether il
was dust or steam-and I'm not
going UP to find out"

WASHINGTON, LR - T h e

tariff concessions with Japan SO

pendent on Red China for trade,
Acting under President Eisen-
hower's tariff cutting authority

duce duties on 131 million dollars
worth Of Japanese goods, ranging
from Christmas tree bulbs to
tuna, crabmeat and swordfish.
At the same time, the Eisen-
hover administration also agreed
to cut tariffs on some 48 million
dollars worth of machinery, raw
materials and equipment from Is
other countries, partly to encour-
age them to lower duties on
japanese goods.
In return, Japan agreed to re-
duce it's tariff duties on nearly
SO per cent of the goods it i'm
ports from the United States
affecting some 397 million dol
lars annually in American exports.
The Japanese-American agree
ment, signed at Geneva after
nearly four months Of negotia-
ton, was the first ever concluded
with japan under the 1884 re-
ciprocal trade law.
The State Dept, in announcing
it, termed it a notable achieve
ment in the Presidents foreign
economic program"
"By offering Japan expanded
trade opportunities" it said, "the
japanese people will have a con-
crete basis for continuing their
alignment with the free world,
thus lessening the danger Of en-
forced japanese dependence on
Communist dominated areas of
the mainland Of Asia"
State Dept, spokesman, aware
of domestic fears of competition
from cheap japanese goods, said
the tariff cuts would not imperil
vital American industries or
create unfair competition.

free Nation depends upon free
thought, not Its suppression.
the National Conferences on
Citizenship was told at its closing
session yesterday.
Other points brought out by
w. Cameron Burton. past presi-
dent Of the District Bar Asso-
citation, In summarization Of
the conference discussions in
cluded:
Fear and mass hysteria thrive
on domination by others to serve
their own ends. The security pro-
gram has undermined the morale
of Government employees. After
all. big government alone may be
q danger in itself"
Peril to Liberty Seen
Mr.. Burton said all discussion
groups seemed to feel there were
at least some dangers to the
country's blessings Of liberty
He cited one groups list as run
ming the gamut of expression:
Failure to take responsibility.
lack of personal integrity. lack
of active interest In Government,
indifference to carrying out JUS
tice. lack Of mutual respect for
differing opinions. lack of knowl-
edge, apathy, indifference,
racial discrimination, corrosion
from within. lack of interest in
education, religious intolerance.
greed for power, threat of inter-
national communism. moral de-
cline and obscurantism."
Mr.. Burton said the trend
toward guilt by association and
by kinship was noted, which
was said to create q general fear
among the people. However, it
was suggested that injury Of
the innocent appears unavoid-
able in our present day society
and that loyalty programs are
necessary"
Due Process FlOuted
A disregard Of due process also
was singled out as q danger, Mr.,
Burton noted. but he said there
was no unanimity as to whether
an accuser should face an ac-
cused in q loyalty hearing.
Among the suggested remedies
at the conference was one that
