Against a backdrop of in

some bargaining on a union pro-
posal for longer-than -one-year

officials, but mediators seized on
lit as q chance to stimulate a

Peace Spark at Geneva

Real Results, He Tells Nation

MAY these truths inspire US,
never dismay US.
II believe that only with
prayerful patience, intelligence,
courage and tolerance-never
forgetting vigilance and pru-
dence-can we keep alive the
spark ignited at Geneva. But if
we are successful in this, then
we will make constantly bright
er the lamp that will one day
guide us to our goal--a just and
lasting peace"
| Despite the scope of his an
nouncements, the President
spoke with far less emotion than
when he addressed the Nation
just before he left for the
| Geneva meeting with the chiefs
of state of Great Britain, France
and Russia.
| On both occasions. however
cautious optimism was the key
note. On both occasions, he
emphasized the need for time
and patience.

Air Force Aide
Saw BrowneII
About Talbot
Attorney General
Has Not Issued
Opinion, He Says
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON

The Air Force general counsel
told Senate investigators today
that Attorney General Brownell
was asked to rule on the legality
Iof a business contract involving
Air Force Secretary Harold E.
Talbot, but SO far as he knew
the Attorney General did not give
Ia final opinion.
John A. johnson. the general
counsel, said he wrote an opin-
ion in January of this year, at
Mr.. Talbott's. request, stating
that it would not violate the
conflict of interests laws for a
private firm of which Mr.. Tai
bot was a half owner to enter
Into a contract with the Radio
Corp. of America although RCA
had a large volume of Air Force
business.
Again at Mr.. Talbott's request
Mr.. Talbot told the Senate In
vestigations subcommittee that
on January 6 this year he showed
his opinion to Mr.. Brownell "who
expressed no disagreement with
the legal conclusion stated in
the memorandum"
No Further Discussion
However. Mr.. johnson said the
Attorney General told him che
would like to take the matter
under consideration" and that u
could expect to hear from him
in a day or So" The Air Force
counsel said Mr.. Brownell did
not get in touch with him and
that he has had no further
discussion of the matter with
him.
Mr.. Talbot, in testimony last
Thursday before the subcom-
|mittee, insisted that as soon as
he heard RCA had raised ques-
|tions of propriety and legality
about the contract involving him,
he had ordered the contract ne
Igotiations dropped.
Mr.. Talbot said that when he
first heard that RCA had raised
the question he had said ''My
goodness. if there is any such
suspicion. forget it. We won't
do the contract or have any
thing to do with it."
The Air Secretary swore that
was the finish" of the matter,
although he admitted telling Mr..
johnson he was disturbed
about it.
$4,000 in 2 Years
The Senate subcommittee is
conducting public hearings on
MIR. Talbott's activities as a part
Iner in Paul B. Mulligan & Co.,
Ia firm which conducts clerical
efficiency surveys for businesses
and from which he has netted
$4,000 in the past two years.
Mr.. johnson maintained it was
part of his duty as Air Force
general counsel to furnish "all
necessary legal advice to the
Secretary of the Air Force"
He said the questions raised by
IRCA as to the legality of enter
ing into contract with Mr.. Tai
bolts firm in view of his posi-
tion as Air Secretary involved
the question of whether Mr.. Tai
bott should continue in the high
Government position. In that re-
Ispect, the general counsel added

BY the Associated Press

The United States was de-
Iscribed today as ready to dis
cuss a number of Far East prob
lens directly with Communist
China if the Reds agree to free
about 81 American citizens.
United States officials who re-
ported this today said Red
IChina's attitude toward this
long standing American demand
would determine the scope of the
special conference which. it was
ANNOUNCED yesterday, will begin
next Monday in Geneva.
If the Chinese Reds refuse to
release IL American airmen and
40 civilians, they said. there will
be no point in talking about other
tensions which exist between
Washington and Peiping. At the
head of that list is a Formosa
cease-fire.

Senator George, chairman of
the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, suggested such q
meeting on Sunday. He said he
believes Secretary of State Dulles
and Red China's premier and
foreign minister. Chou En-lai,
should meet before any general
conference is held.
The Peiping radio proposed
yesterday that the fate of Ma

China'S admission to the United
Nations 'be settled through con-
sultation among the countries
concerned"

Lane Iestifies
Suggests Fare Rise
To Pay Cost of
Wage Boost Only
BY HECTOR Mclean
and WILLIAM A. MILLER

The District Public Utility
Commission could grant Capital
Transit Co. a fare increase with
in five days to cover the labor
costs only of any strike settle
ment, Engineer Commissioner
Thomas A. Lane told the House
District Committee today.
Testifying in the second day
OF hearings on legislation to set
tie the 26-day transit walkout,
Gen. Lane warned that such a
fare increase would not affect
the company's profits. These
would be considered in the regu-
lar course of the hearings now
being conducted on Capital
Transit's request for a rate boost.
Chairman Mcmillan said as
the two-day hearings ended, he
would try to arrange an execu-
tive session by tomorrow. He
indicated none of the six bills
before the committee would be
approved. declaring II think
We'll have to write a bill incor-
porating a lot of items not in
cluded in any of them"
He said chances are pretty
good" of Congress passing some
legislation if both sides don't
get together in the next few
days"
Opposes Seizure
Edward r. Carr, president of
the Washington Board of Trade
told the committee his organiza-
tion opposes a bill suggested by
the District Commissioners to re-
woke Capital Transit's franchise
and authorize the Commission
ers to seize and operate the COM
pany during the one-year period
required for the revocation to
become effective.
He declared:
"We do not believe it can be
shown that the Capital Transit
Co. has diregarded it's obliga-
tions to render public service.
Despite its action in disbursing
to the stockholders a sizable
amount of accumulated reserves
and despite the questionable
policy of paying out more in
dividends than its earnings, we
doubt that it can be shown to
the satisfaction of the courts
that the Capital Transit Co. has
failed to supply satisfactory
service in accordance with its
franchise obligations.
"It would appear that the
company is failing to provide
service because it's employees have
refused to work because the
company has refused to grant
them the increased wages and
benefits which they demand.
This" Mr.. Carr continued,

strued as disregard of fran
