Senators Russell, Democrat of
Georgia, and Young. Republican
of North Dakota, said today that
If Russia moves to lift the Iron
Curtain, as proposed by Presi-
dent Eisenhower, the United
States should consider shipping
the Soviets needed food supplies.
Mr.. Eisenhower called at the
Geneva conference yesterday for
a lowering of the East-WeSt
barriers against exchange of in
formation, travel and trade. His
proposal was endorsed by British
Prime Minister Eden, but there
was no immediate official Rus
sian reply.
Senator Russell, who heads
the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee, said he would contine to
oppose shipment of strategic
materials to Russia. But he
added:
I'VE could send them cotton
goods, for instance, and butter
and other food products. It has
always been my belief that trade
will do a great deal toward pro-
noting international good will" !"
Senator Young said that III
the Russian attitude continues
as it is and there is a change
for the better in international
relations, there is no reason in
the world why we should not
exchange non strategic materials
with them" H@
However, Senator Capehart,
Republican, of Indiana said he
thinks such trade should come
only after the Soviets agree to
withdraw from the satellite
countries and mot try to spread
communism throughout the
world"
Senator Wiley. Republican. oi
Wisconsin said he thinks that
|if there is a free exchange o1
ideas between East and West the
results might lead to peace in

Exi|eFaiIs toEnd
Red Press Party

GENEVA, July 20 fP.-The
press center of the Big -Four
summit conference had its first
political incident yesterday. A
Free Pole" almost broke up a
cocktail party given by his Com
munist compatriots to celebrate
Polish Independence Day.
The Polish Communist news
Ipapermen had a long table set
Iup right across the main lobby
Iof the press center. They loaded
lit with everything from beer and
orange juice to whisky and plum
brandy, and invited all comers
to join them in celebrating.
At the height of the party, the
Imerrymaking was interrupted by
the voice of Alexander Bregman,
correspondent of the anti-Com-
Imunist paper Dziennik Polski,
published in London.
Mr.. Bregman appeared on a
balcony overlooking the lobby
and shouted in French and Eng
lish: Those drinks are bought
with the blood of Poles yearning
for freedom"
The party hosts pretended to
ignore him for a while. Some
Western newsmen. who appeared
to be enjoying the party, asked
him to go elsewhere, Others
listened and waited eagerly for
developments.
Two Swiss ushers employed by
the press center instructed Mr..
Bregman to get down from the
balcony, but he continued his
protest speech.
This is supposed to be
Poland's independence day." he
said, "but Poland is enslaved.
"This party is an insult to the
worlds free press because the
free press is brutally suppressed
in Poland"
The ushers gripped Mr.. Breg-
man firmly by the arms and
hustled him off the balcony, still
shouting against the Commu-
Gnists.
There were some protests from
Westerners at this action. They
urged that Mr., Bregman be per-
mitted to express his opinions
like anyone else in a free coun-
try.
| Another group of Western
newsmen lodged a formal pro-
test with the press center ad
}ministration against holding of
the Polish cocktail party. They
said the fate of the Soviet satel-
lite nations was one of the ques-
tions likely to come before the
summit conference and the party
violated the neutrality the press
center is supposed to maintain.
The party continued, never
theless, after Mr.. Bregman was
louSted.

private plane was standing by
to fly him back to Washington
tonight.
The Russian leaders were re-
ported to be impressed by Mr..
Eisenhower's personal sincerity
in putting forward his far-reach-
ing proposal. But they were said
to be equally critical of it on
grounds that it seemed to avoid
what the Soviets regard as the
basic and most urgent issue in
any modern disarmament pro-
gram-the prohibition of nuclear
weapons.

1t appeared likely Russia might
offer eventually to go along with
Mr.. Eisenhower's plan, but only
If it is linked at the very least
with a big-power pledge renounc-
ing the initial use of iluclear
weapons.
Mr.. Hagerty refused to spell
out the differences which rose
yesterday to snarl the summit
talk after their harmonious
start. But other Western sources
said MIR. Molotov had insisted
that European security must
come first and German reunifica-
ton second.

just as firmly that the German
question must be considered first

Neither South Wet Nam nor
the United States signed the

the United States agreed to do
nothing to disturb the truce.

called for assurance that a free,
