General Motors said a mid

Talks With Leaders
| Before his press conference
the President discussed the ham

congressional leaders at the
White House.
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland said after the talk
that "every effort is going to be
made" to get the program "mov-

He said he was having discus
sions with Senate Democratic
leaders in an effort to arrange
for the Senate Armed Services
Committee to hold hearings soon
and report out a bill along the
lines of the administration pro-
gram. He said he believed bill
could be passed in the Senate
without an anti segregation
amendment that caused the
trouble in the House.
House Republican Leader Mar.

President Eisenhower strongly
urged today the enactment of

serves bill. We just must have

segregation amendments should
not be permitted to kill the
measure.
The President told his press
conference the establishment of
a trained military reserve is vital
to the safety of the country.
The reserve bill has beer
stalled in the House by an anti
segregation amendment spon-
sored by Representative Powell
Democrat, of New York. The
President said he hoped that
the Senate will now do some.
thing about it.
With obvious feeling, the Pres
ident declared that when hi
spoke of measures affecting the
armed service and the defense
Iof the country he was intensely
interested. The reserves bill, HI
said, is more essential than evel
before. Trained men are needed

If Bonn OKs Red Bid
Has Complete
Confidence in
Adenuuer
BY GARNETT D. HoRNER

President Eisenhower said
today that a decision on whether
West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer should accept
Russia's invitation to visit Mos
COW is entirely up to Mr..
Adenauer Himself.
He emphasized at a news con-
ference that he has the utmost
faith and confidence in Mr..
Adenauer and knows the Ger
man statesman will stand by his
allies and friends.
The President announced that
Mr.. Adenauer will be his guest at
a White House luncheon next
Tuesday, during a visit to the
United States.
He told a questioner that he
would not have a bit of objection
or anxiety if Mr.. Adenauer
should decide to establish diplo-
matte relations with Russia, as
Moscow suggested in its invita-
ton to him.
Praising the West German
Chancellor as one of the greatest
statesman in the world, Mr..
Eisenhower said he trusts him to
take care of his country's in
terest.
Cites Bonn Sovereignty
The President described the
Moscow invitation to Mr.. Ade-
nauer, which surprised most Of
the world, as only a natural con-
sequence of developments in
Western Europe.
He noted that these recent
developments included establish
ment of West Germany as an in
dependent nation. Therefore.
he said, it is a logical gesture on
the part Of the Soviets to invite
Mr.. Adenauer to talk over
mutual problems.
The President emphasized that
West Germany'S position in the
world is going to be determined
by the West Germans alone.
This was his answer to a ques-
ton about whether there might
be any change in American
policy to envisage neutrality for
West Germany in the cold war.
Declaring that West Germany
now Is a sovereign nation, the
President said we must give it
the complete right to solve its
own problems.
Soviet Wooing Seen
The Russian invitation to Mr..
Adenauer was the latest in a
series of me.euvers apparently
aimed at persuading the free
world that the Moscow govern
ment is now in the hands Of
men with whom the rest of the
world can do business.
The Adenauer bid seems to At
into this broad pattern. 1t also
fits another, narrower design of
Soviet diplomacy made clear
earlier this year. Austrian Chan
Icellor Julius Raab, invited to
Moscow, was told that he could
get an Austrian state treaty, es-
Itablishing his country's SOW
ereignty, if Austria would agree
to a policy of neutrality. Under
the treaty subsequently signed
the Austrians have a limited mill
itary force and no alliances.
The Russians have proposed
the naturalization of Germany,
possibly in the Austrian pat
tern, but the exact conditions
are not clear. For German neu-
|tralization they say they would
be willing to permit German
unity, which would mean giving
Iup their strangle holds on East
Germany.
Diplomats said it would seem
to be difficult for Mr.. Adenauer
to reject completely the idea Of
going to Moscow himself to do
what he personally can for Ger
man unity. In the atmosphere
which the Soviets are building
up it becomes increasingly diff
cult to say mo" even in circum-
stances where it appears that
their proposition is undesirable.
