COLD WAR
U. S. Leaders Adopt
Brighter Outlook on
Meeting at Summit

President Eisenhower and Secre-
tary of State Dulles last week
changed their attitude toward the
coming Big Four meeting at the
summit" moving from mood Of
guarded pessimism to one Of guard
ed optimism. Sessions start in
Geneva two weeks from tomorrow.
There was feeling Of satisfac-
ton that the United Nations decen-
NAL which wound up last Sunday
had performed the useful function
of letting off propaganda steam.
This mighf have impeded the Ge-
neva conferees II 1t had been sup
pressed until July 18. Diplomats
also got chance to outline East
West opening positions. another.
time-saving device.
It appeared that some kind OF
interregional non-aggression pact
was favored by both sides.
In Bonn, Chancellor K0nrad
Adenauer started the tough assign
ment of convincing the Bundestag
that West Germany should rearm
promptly. Opposition was strong.
In Rome, Antonio Segni, land
reform advocate. was trying to as
semble a coalition cabinet while
excluding the Communists.
I'm Belgrade, Marshal Tito an
nounced he would make trip to
Moscow, but no date was set. Per-
haps the Yugoslav President was
still hoping that Washington would
come through with an invitation
so he could come here first.
In the Far East, meanwhile. there
was a relative calm that might be
the prelude to another storm. Ho
Chi Mini, leader Of the Commu-
mist Wet Mini in North Wet Nam,
was in Peiping conferring with the
Chinese Reds. He will also visit
Moscow.
Red Moves
The free world speculated that
the three Communist powers were
getting their ducks in q row for
what would be at the least huge
propaganda campaign to force
South Wet Nam to negotiate on
holding all-Viet Nam elections in
July, 1856. At the most, the three
powers could be plotting re-
sumption of the civil war if South
Wet Nam refuses to cooperate in
elections. Ho Is said to have greatly
strengthened his Wet Mimi army.
in violation of the Geneva agree
ment.
Most observers agree that the
Communists could win all-Viet Nam
elections now. Premier Ngo Dinh
Diem Of South Wet Nam has yet to
consolidate his hold on his part Of
the country. Few expect him to 60
through with the election arrange
ments made last year at Geneva by
the big powers. South Wet Nam
was not a signatory to that Geneva
agreement.
Wet Nam was not the only sore
spot in Asia. Neighboring Laos Is
alarmed because Wet Mimi soldiers
and sympathizers In her northern
provinces will not leave, as was
agreed at Geneva. Farther north,
the Formosa Strait dispute between
Red China and Red Russia. on the
one hand, and Nationalist China
and the United States. on the other,
has not dissolved. 1t merely lies
dormant for the moment.

The Transit Workers have struck
Capital Transit four times, once
for two days and again for one
day in 1945, for three days in 1851,
and the present walkout.
Arbitration was usually the path
that led to settlements, and on the
whole arbitration worked to the
satisfaction Of the union.
The success of the transit union
is matter of debate. Union off,
cials say the current $50 an hour
for operating personnel trails Bos-
ton t$207, Pittsburgh ($2.0I.
Minneapolis-St. Paul ($2.0D, New
ark ($2), Detroit ($1.981a) and Chi
cago ($2). Boston, Chicago and
Detroit have publicly owned transit
systems. The others are private.
All cities give certain fringe bene-
fits to the workers. however, such
as pensions, vacation time. health
insurance, ETC., so it Is impossible
to say precisely how District transit
workers compare.
Cost Of living also makes an un-
satisfactory yardstick. Operator
pay has gone up % per cent since
1949 while the Bureau Of Labor Sta
tistics cost-of- Living index went up
1875 per cent. Who is to say, how
ever, whether the transit workers
were ahead or behind the game
in 40?
The, important fact is that the
union believes its.members are now
worth more money. specifically Is
cents an hour, and deserve better
fringe benefits.
The request ran head-on into the
company's lament that the stock
holders were earning disgracefully
small amount on the rate base. Al
ready half the dividends were COM
ing out Of surplus. Such raise,
according to the company, would
wipe out all profits and the surplus
as well in one year.

Fanatic Wounds
Iranian Premier
Attending Mosque

TEHRAN, Iran, R-Premier
Hussein Ala was shot and wound
ed by a Moslem fanatic yesterday
in the Shah Mosque in central
Tehran "A spokesman said later,
after Ala was hospitalized, that
his condition was not serious.
Ala had removed his shoes, in
accordance with Moslem custom,
and started to walk across the
carpeted floor when the gunman
stepped up to him, said a few
words, and then fired.
The gunman was captured i'm
mediately by police and taken to
the military governors office He
was identified as Mozaffar Ali
Zulghader, 80, Moslem fanatic
One witness said Ala held a
handkerchief to his head at a
point just above the ear as he was
taken away to the hospital.
The Premier, accompanied by
some of his cabinet, was attending
the mosque to mourn the death of
Mostafa Gashani, son of Ayatul-
lab Kashani, the Moslem religious
leader who played a major part in
establishing Mohammed Mossa-
degh as Premier and ending Brit
ish control of oil properties in
Iran. Ala was instrumental in
busting Mossadegh in August 1858.
Ala, a veteran of Trans diplo-
matte service and a former am
bassador to the United States, was
named Premier last April to
succeed Gen. Fazlollah Zahedi
when the general retired because
of ill health. Ala was then minis
ter of court to the Shah. He is
II years old.
