'COpter-Plane
 Flown l8O MPH.. Air Force Reveals

BALTIMORE, Pt-The Air Force announced today development of a combined helipcopter and con- ventional airplane that has flown more than 180 miles an hour.
 The previous top speed for hel- icopters was 156 mph.
 The Air Forces Air Research and Development Command said the experimental Convertiplane, officially labeled the XVI, was developed by the command and the Mcdonnell Aircraft Corp. for the Army.
 The ARDC said the plane com pines the verticle flight charac- teristics of a helicopter with the speed and range of conventional fixed wing plane.
 When the 180-mph. flight was made, the ARDC said, the planes doors were off, its undercarriage and rotor pylon were not stream lined and full engine power was not used.
 The flight was made last April but the ARDC said announcement was withheld until today to give McDonnel further opportunities for tests.
 The Convertiplane has an over head rotor similar to those on standard helicopters and a pusher type prop and wings for forward flight.

MolOtov Asks West to Reduce Arms
 Without Waiting for Disarmament Pact

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R- Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Mo lotov today called upon the West ern powers to reduce their armed forces and liquidate their foreign military bases without waiting for an international agreement on disarmament.
 At the same time, the Soviet leader told the JUN. Assembly that Russia is giving careful con- sideration to President Eisenhow- CTS proposal for an "open sky'' policy of mutual aerial inspection of Russian and US. territory.
 He submitted a resolution urg- ing the Assembly to endorse a study of the Eisenhower plan, along with proposals submitted by Russia, Britain and France.
 In major policy speech, Molo- tov pointed to recent Soviet re- ductions of military forces and the surrender of the Soviet naval base of Porkkala to Finland. Then he called upon the other big powers to show by similar deeds that they

really want to end the world arms race.
 Speaking of the Eisenhower aerial inspection plan, he said:
 "We recognize the importance of the Presidents proposals. We regard them as an expression of a sincere desire to facilitate the solution of the important problem of international control and in spection. And it is from this point of view that we are engaged in studying this proposal and it's var ious aspects"
 Molotov challenged a statement by Secretary of State Dulles yes terday that limitation of arma- ment is virtually unattainable.
 But following the example of Dulles, Mo1otov spoke in mild tones and avoided the sharp att tacks which the delegates had heard so often in previous years.
 Also, like Dulles, he hailed the Big Four summit talks in Geneva last July as turning point in in ternational relations.

CAB investigation launched in 1853 for the purpose of improving air service in Alaska and reducing customer charges and mail pay subsidies. Scores of applications for airline routes probably will be consolidated by the CAB for the proceeding.
 Highlight of yesterdays confer ence was the filing of more than dozen new route applications The CAB will decide whether they will be considering the current case.
 Alaska Airlines (AA), one of the largest carriers in the terri tory, submitted applications cov- ering virtually every route in Al aska. AA's lawyers told reporter the company was not attempting to take routes away from other airlines, but instead desired to have applications on file for con- sideration should CAB erase the Alaska route map and issue new certificates covering the territory
 A spokesman for smaller Alas ka' companies, however, said AL aska Airline's application would start Hast ditch" fight.

Bulganin Message To Eisenhower
 On Disarmament

FRASER, Colo, R-Soviet Pre- mier Bulganin is reported to have told President Eisenhower that if the Eisenhower plan for mutual aerial inspection and exchange of military blueprints is to be adopt ed it must be as part of general disarmament plan.
 The gist of Bulganin's personal message to Eisenhower came out last night and preparations were underway today to make public the text from the Presidents va- cation headquarters.
 It was learned in Washington that Bulganin also told Eisenhow- CT the proposed disarmament pro- gram should provide for prompt remuneration and abolition of all atomic weapons.
 A third chief point understood to have been made by Bulganin was that the program should ap- ply to all military bases of both Russia and the United States, in cluding those on foreign soil.
 Meanwhile, the Chief Executive was drafting a reply to Bulganin.
 Tn Washington, US. officials were reported to regard the Bull ganin reply as generally encour- aging in tone. Some of them were understood to feel the Premier attached strings.

with what is to be done about

The Passing Show
Nearby New York
Gives It Two Plays
In Current Week
By Joy Cormody

Along the so-called "road"
of the legitimate theater. there
was the barest ripple of re-
action to the Supreme Courts
ruling last week that the thea
ter is subject to the Federal
antitrust laws.
The reason is that the road
is so little Travelled that q new
kind of traffic law, so to speak,
is negligible in its meaning
and effect.
Between the two coasts, in
the vast area lying a few miles
inland from the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans, there are to-
day 10 touring attractions. of
which five were in Chicago.
This left five others scattered
around such points as Buffalo,
Cleveland, Detroit, Columbus
(pretty concentrated that)
and Birmingham, Ala.
A Deeper Worry
Clearly the question to worry
ones head about was more
one of where to find touring
attractions than one of the
right of competing theaters
actually to compete for such
productions. On the road,
then, the whole subject was
academic, however it may ap-
ply to New York which, Incl
dentally, had 26 lighted legiti-
mate houses with two more
preparing to open.
For whatever selfish comfort
is to be derived from it, Wash
ington is reasonably exempt
from the fate of the road" in
the words broader meaning.
It is off-Broadway to be sure,
239 miles off. But like equally
distant Boston, it is close
enough to the Broadway heart
of the theater to be regarded
as part of the latter's circula-
tory system.
Plays must try-out, at least
that is the tradition. and both
Washington and Boston and
some points between. are near
enough and profitable enough
to visit for this purpose. The
same considerations apply to
hit productions coming off
profitable runs on Broadway.
There is more profit for pro-
ducers and work for actors by
sending such attractions at
least this far up and down the
Atlantic for several additional
weeks.
Westward, where there once
were Indians and wild ami
mails, are the perils Of high
costs and possible public in
difference for the producers;
and, for the actors, remote
ness from an offer from tele-
vision or the longer chance
of a role in a new play.
Hence such limited touring
fare as today's which includes
two companies of The Caine
Mutiny Court Martial; five
musicals, Guys and Dolls"
king and l." silk Stock
ings," South Pacific" and
Three for Tonight; one
comedy, Seven Year Itch;
one drama, "Tea and Sym
pathy," and Ruth Draper's
