A Senate investigation was
I"still open" today into Air Force
Secretary Harold E. Talbott's
activities in New York indus

yielded him a sizable side income
during his Government service.
Unanswered for the moment
was the question of whether Mr..
Talbot should sever all connec-
tions with Paul B. Mulligan &
Co. in the best interests of the
Air Force.
Mr.. Talbot offered to do that
late yesterday at a hastily called
public hearing if the members
of the Senate Investigations sub
committee thought he should.
The subcommittee withheld it's
opinion and Chairman Mcclellan
said the inquiry was "still open. "
Mr.. Talbot said he had not de-
cided whether to break the pri-
vate connection.
He said he needed the income
received from the Mulligan
company, which makes clerical
surveys for industrial firms. He

A Good Question: Is 1t Illegal

Speaker Rayburn has asked
Attorney General Brownell
whether Congress will be break
ing the law if it keeps on making
laws after this month.
With practically everybody at
the Capitol longing for an end
to the congressional session and
the Washington weather and the
transit strike--but nobody get
ting very far on any OF those
situations-the Speaker is doing
something along at least one
emergency line.
Democratic Leader Mccormack

he did. not see how Congress
could quit Saturday, July 80.

GENEVA. July 22.-President
Eisenhower's offer to trade mill
tary blueprints with the Rus
slams and open the country to
aerial reconnaissance has thrown
this conference into a complete
tizzy.
The immediate effect of the
Presidents double whammy was
to put out all the lights in the
conference building. The trans
lation of the Presidents pro-
posal proceeded in gloom. The
next effect was to set of
such clacking of tongues as
has rarely been heard on any
diplomatic summit.
Only the Russians are still
speechless. For them, the Amer
ican move has all the earmarks
'of one of those "frightful sur
|prises" that the President re-
ferred to in his opening remarks,
They were obviously not expec-
ting anything of the kind and
their characteristic reaction has
been to clam up and duck for
cover.
At the close of yesterdays ses-
sion Soviet Premier Bulganin
made no direct reference to the
Eisenhower statement, saying
only that all the proposals made
should be taken into account by
the foreign ministers in their
continuing deliberations.
Reticent at News Parleys
At the Russian press confer
ence which followed, the official
spokesman was less affable than
usual. His summary of the
Presidents remarks was con-
fined to a few terse sentences,
barren of any comment what
ever. In the lobby of the press
center. where correspondents
gather to swap their impressions,

TO many of us who have been

The allied camp was no less

The Eisenhower offer was all
the more surprising coming from
the man who had insisted most
repeatedly and emphatically
that no matters of substance
should be discussed here. His
suggestion, which is considered
very substantial indeed, has
raised a few eyebrows within the
French and English delegations.

A third syndicate has filed a
bid for the job of rebuilding

the District Redevelopment Land
Agency disclosed today.
The new proposal came from
a Washington group including
Stewart Bainum, builder; Ronald

Ellrod. jr., attorney.
1t proposed TO pay the agency
annual ground rent for the Area

contract-a higher figure than
either of two previous proposals

by James H. Scheuer and Roger

several alternate financing possi-
bilities.
All three of the bids are higher

who had been negotiating for the
contract but Withdrew because
of problems in arranging FHA
financing.
The Scheuer Stevens syndi-
cate. meanwhile. submitted to
the land agency yesterday a de-
tailed site plan for development
of the area, in accordance with
an earlier agreement. Mr.. Tur-
overs plan will closely follow
the original Bush plan. and a
tentative site plan also was sub
mitted today by the Bainum
group.
Neither the tentative Bainum
plan nor the Scheuer-Stevens
plan were made public immedi-
ately. however.
The next meeting of the land
agency board of directors is set
for August 8, at which time a
schedule is to be set up for de-
tailed presentations of the plans
by each group to the board.
Decision on Merits
While the ground rental pro-
poSals are extremely important,
the board will not necessarily be
bound by the highest money bid.
A decision on which group is to
get the contract will also be based
on merits of the plans, and a
final contract will be negotiated.
The Bainum group submitted
its proposal July IA, one day be-
fore a deadline set by the agency
for accepting Area B proposals.
The group at that time, however,
conditioned it's submission by
asking that it not be made pub
lie until a decision on approval
had been reached. This restric-
tion was lifted yesterday, so the
proposal was released
The group made it's participa-
ton in the Area B. program

number of other conditions.
Among them were that the
ground lease be for a minimum
of 60 years. that rents be nomi-
nal for the first twokyears dur

area be cleared completely of

quarters said United Nations
Officials had been alerted to have
the Council Chamber of the
Palais des Nations ready for a
possible night meeting.
The President was said TO be
definitely committed to leave
tomorrow evening for Washing
ton and the summit conference
was running far behind schedule.
The four foreign ministers
went back into session this after
noon after three-hour session
this morning failed to complete
final recommendations to the
heads of government on any of
the three problems under dis
cuSslon.
Russians Silent on Plan
One informed source said the
Presidents proposal was not
specifically mentioned at the
morning session. This meant
that Soviet Foreign Minister v.
M. Molotov had not given a hint
as to whether Russia would ac-
Icept the plan or even promise to
consider it further.
Some quarters saw a possibility
that the Eisenhower proposals
might get shunted aside, along
with other proposals on disarma-
ment, German unification and
European security for discussion
after the summit conference.
The leaders appeared to be
aiming now primarily at setting
up directives for the guidance OF
a /. foreign ministers conference
next October and for future dis
cussions in the U. N. subcommit-
tee on disarmament.
The foreign ministers spent
the morning on this problem
and returned to the job in the
afternoon.

Premier Bulganin, British Prime
Minister Eden and French Pre-

statements by the heads of gov

Whatever the Russians did
