ruled out that possibility as
presidential advisers continued
this morning to contact other
leaders Of both parties.
Four Conditions
The four conditions Mr.. Can
non attached to his approval Of
the transfer Of existing appro-
|priations. largely from the funds
|of the Army Engineer Corps, are:
/. That none Of the money be
spent without the personal ap-
|proval of the President.
2. That it be used only for
absolute essentials.
3. That the States in the
flooded area be required to match
the Federal outlay, preferably at
$3.50, or as close to that ratio
as possible.
4. That any loans by the Small
Business Administration to help
utilities or other businesses to
get back on their feet should be
recoverable.
In Touch With Capital
Mr.. Cannon told The Star he
laid down these conditions in q
telephone conversation with the
White House from his home in
Missouri last night He indicated
that, on this basis, he would help

As Chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee, he
would have much to say about
the decision Of Congress. Mr..
Cannon said the Engineer Corps
has funds that ordinarily would
not be dependable for this pur-
pose, except by agreement.
Mr.. Cannon said he told the
White House he does not believe
the current situation warrants
calling Congress back to Wash
ingtou. Chairman Hayden of

mittee expressed the same view
yesterday.

leaders followed two conferences

 Srike Called Off After Eight Days
By THE ASSOCIATED PREss

The eight-day strike of New York longshoremen was called off today.
 A proposal also was shaped up for ending the three-day strike of 43,000 CIO workers in 27 West inghouse Electric Corp. plants.
 Some 5000 New York dock workers gave cheering approval to a plan designed to let them voice their grievances before a citizens committee.
 The Stoppage had spread to ports along the East and Gulf Coasts.
 The strike was aimed at the Waterfront Commission, an off cial bi-state policing agency.
 The citizens committee formula was proposed by State Sen. James F. Murray Jr., of New Jersey. The ILA accepted it.
 At Pittsburgh, union source said a proposal has been worked out for ending the strike of the CIO International Union of Elec- trical workers in 27 Westinghouse plants.
 To become effective, the pro- posal must be ratified by the Westinghouse Conference Board and the unions Local 6O1. The Westinghouse strike started with members of Local 601.

State Dept. Official Will Hold Talks in Yugoslavia On EaSt-WeSt Relations

 Murphy will review Yugoslav- ia's economic aid problems with the United States and discuss East-West relations generally in the light of Yugoslav moves to improve ties with Russia.
 Murphy played a major role just year ago in bringing about settlement of the long standing dispute between Yugoslavia and Italy over Trieste.
 Diplomatic officials who told of Murphy's forthcoming trip said no crisis was connected with it. The visit has been set up, they said, as a high-level exchange of views aimed at improving each governments understanding of the others problems.

Adenauer Gets Triumphant Welcome
 Home After Historic Talks at Moscow

Adenauer and Bulganin said only that the agreement to exchange ambassadors twill further the set clement of pending problems af- fecting the whole of Germany, and must thus help the solution of the principal national problem of the German people-the re-estab- lishment of the unity of the Ger man democratic state"
 The two delegations also agreed to set up committees to work for development of German-Soviet trade.
 Tn an exchange of letters with Bulganin at the close of the con- ference, Adenauer also put on the record what he called German rights which we cannot relin- quish."
 In his letter he insisted that the fixing of Germany's final border must come only in a final peace treaty, and that his government still insists on it's claim to speak for all of Germany.
