Mr.. Khrushchev and Premier
Nikolai Bulganin had just land
ed on their return from a To-day
tour of Britain.
Both Marshal Bulganin and
Mr.. KhruShchev praised British
hospitality and the results of
their negotiations with Prime
Minister Eden. But they had
scathing words of denunciation
for the Labor Party. the British
Socialist movement. which they
accused of following "a reac-
tionary anti-Soviet policy"
Bold Overture
The bold overture to the

This was foreshadowed by a
Pravda editorial yesterday and
has long been common knowl-
edge in the Moscow diplomatic
colony.
1t was a strange forum Mr..
Khrushchev took to make the
overture to Washington -

airport where only talk of Brit

One of the most attentive lis
teners was United States Ambas-
sador Charles Bohlen.

Farley said.
The national chamber opened
its three-day meeting earlier to-

took almost every seat. in Con-
stitution Hall. Attending the
annual event are 5000 delegates
and others who bring the total
to about 1000.
10 Months Since Reports
Mr.. Farley pointed out it has
been 10 months since the Hoover
Commission sent its reports
promising savings of SIS billion q
year, to Congress.
Where. in terms of its ac-
ceptance, does this report stand
today?" he asked. "As you
know, some As per cent Of the

of executive action on several

He cited as one example of
executive action an exchange of
letters between President Eisen-
hover and the Civil Service Com
mission urging administrative
application of one of the COM
missions reports. He said it was
also gratifying that such a high
percentage of the commission

DC. Rise Shown
In Serious Crime
FIJI Reports
Reversible of
u. S. Trend
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG

Serious crime in Washington
showed a rise in 1855 for the first
time since its 1852 peak, an
analysis of the FBI's latest uni.
form crime reports disclosed to-
day.
At the same time, crime across
the Nation declined last year for
the first time in eight years. For
the fourth consecutive year, how
ever, major crimes nationally ex-
ceeded the two-million mark.
Because of a mid-year change
in the classifying of aggravated
assaults here, the FBI figures
show a rs per cent decrease in
Washington'S crime rate last
year. Figuring aggravated as
saults for the year under the
previous method of classifying
them. however, there was an
actual increase Of 3.9 per cent in
crime in the District last year.
The upward trend in crime
here after two years of sharp
decline bears out Police Chief
Robert v. Murray's repeated
warnings that crime could not
be reduced further here without
more police on the street.
A bill to increase the Wash
ington force by about $50 men
to new strength of not less
than $500 police is now await
ing the Presidents signature.
More Purse Snatchings
One of the principal reasons
for public agitation for a larger
force was the rise in purse
snatchings here. Figures released
by Washington police today
after the publication of the FBI
compilation showed that purse
Snatchings increased by Al per
cent last year over the previous
year. Nationally. purse-snatch-
ingS decreased by 1875 per cent.
Another factor contributing to
the higher crime total here was
a 25.5 per cent gain in auto
thefts. Washington police re-
ported the auto stealing rate
climbed steadily for IA months
and only began to decline in
! March of this year.
Two rings of auto thieves, now
captured. were charged with
: hundreds of last years auto
thefts. Car stealing also went
up. it was reported, during last
summers transit strike.
Washington is still in better
shape in its war against crimi-
nails than the Nation as a whole.
Nationally. crime has jumped 26
per cent since 1850. Washing
ton. however. has substantially
less crime than it had in 1850.
Juvenile Grimes Jump in U. S.
A comparison of Washington
with other cities reporting to the
FBI showed one other bright
Inote-the rate of crime by jul
venileS. Nationally. 42.3 per cent
of those arrested for serious
crime were under 10. In Wash
Iington. only 24.7 per cent of per-
sons arrested for serious crime
were juveniles.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
announced an upswing in jul
venile crime across the Nation
with an LA per cent increase in
Juvenile arrests. In Washington,
arrests of juveniles for serious
crime declined by 2.8 per cent
last year.
OF all persons arrested for
auto thefts in reporting cities,
62.2 per cent were under 10.
Here, SO per cent were juveniles.
The change that affects crime
comparisons in Washington was
the decision last April to exclude

What can we do about this?"
President Eisenhower demanded
as he walked in at TAO O'Clock,
wearing a tan polo coat and a
brown hat with the brim snapped
far down over his forehead.
They drew up a statement
which expressed Americas hope
that "the Almighty win watch
over the people Of that vast
country and bring them, in His

to the Capitol this morning and
added that this is the conSid-
cred judgment of the President. "
The Secretary confirmed the
fact that the administration, as
well as the Senate Committee, is
considering a comprehensive
study of the future course of
foreign aid. But he emphasized
that none of the questions to be
studied relate to the basic valid
ity of the program itself.
ut would indeed be ironic." he
said, "if, now that the Soviet has
begun giving aid to its allies in
terms of billions and Offering
economic aid to free nations in
terms of hundreds of millions
the United States should with
draw from that program which
lit invented and let the Soviet
take over that field"
Called Answer to Richards
His remarks were regarded as
an answer to the suggestion of
Chairman Richards of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee that
Congress may allow only enough
money at this time to meet es-
sentials while the proposed study
is going on.
Mr.. Dulles, who leaves tomor-
row to attend a NATO Council
meeting in Paris. testified the
Russian new look" accompa-
Inied by peaceful gestures, does
not warrant curtailing American
aid to its friends.
1T is true that Soviet policies
and doctrines now seem to put
less emphasis on violence, and
that is encouraging" the Sec
rotary said. 1.-THE danger of gen.
Ieral war seems somewhat less,
and that is an immense relief
But let us ask ourselves why the
danger of violence has receded
1t is because the net worth OF
mutual security treaties, SuS-
tanned by our mutual security
program, and backed by our mo-
bile striking power. makes il
improbable for the Soviets tC
follow their old policies of vio-
lence.
Their changes are not due tc
any spiritual conversion. They
have not gotten religion. They
realistically take account of what
the free nations have done to
make violence an improbable
tactic. But if we want them tc
continue to desist from violence
we had better continue doing
the things which have led them
Ito deSist."
HighlightS of Testimony
AS committee members ques-
toned the Secretary, these high
lights were developed:

dom Of a suggestion last night
by Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., Amer
lean ambassador to the U. N.
that a larger share of foreign
aid be channeled through the

Iof New Jersey, said he under
stood the Secretary's testimony

study Of foreign aid policies

would not justify Congress in
making only a stop-gap appro-
priation at this time.

not valid in the District.
G. o. P. Has Hot Fight
The intense bitterness in Re-
publican ranks between the or
ganization headed by Chairman
George L. Hart. jr., and chal-
lenger George P. Lamb carried
into the final hours of the cam
paign.
Mr.. Hart declared that Mr..
Lamb tried deliberately to de-
ceive voters when he circulated
a sample ballot marked official
Republican ballot" and attached
it to a letter which read in part:
Your vote will count if you
place an x only as indicated on
the sample ballot within"
The sample" ballot was
marked in favor of Mr.. Lamb
and several candidates he has
Endorsed.
II think this StinkS." said Mr..
Hart. Il have received a number
of inquiries from voters COM
planning about it. They were
misied into thinking their ballots
would not be counted unless
they voted as indicated.
Someone asked me why we
did not move to have Mr.. Lamb
indicted for this misrepresenta-
tion."
Explanation by Macy
j. Noel Macy, chairman of the
Lamb campaign. said he drafted
the language of the letter. He
said the statement in question
meant only that a voter is not
required to vote for six candi-
dates for delegate to the con-
vention and is not required to
vote for rs members of the G. o.
P. State Committee. He said the
idea was to explain that a voter
could cast his ballot for fewer
persons than the total to be
elected.
The Board of Elections has al
ready ruled that Mr.. Lambs
sample ballot was improper" be-
cause it carried the words off
cial Republican ballot" in vio-
lation of regulations. Mr.. Hart
said he would not impose addi-
tional burdens on the board "at
this late hour" by filing a formal
complaint on the Lamb letter.
The election will settle purely
partisan matters. Both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans will elect
their delegations to the 1856
conventions, name members of
the respective national and local
party committees. The Demo-
Gratis will. in addition, decide
whether their convention dele
cation shall be bound by the
unit" rule and whether it shall
work for home rule in the Dis
trict.
Has National OvertOnes
The Democratic election will
have national significance in
that it features q race between
a slate pledged to support Adlai
Stevenson and another backing
Senator Kefauver for the party's
presidential nomination.
The Senator, stopping over in
Washington yesterday between
campaign appearances in the
Far West and in Florida. said
frankly he is running behind
in the District. But he ex-
pressed conviction he would win
the nomination because he is
gathering strength" in most
parts Of the United States.
The Tennesseean blamed his
unfavorable District situation on
what he described as fear among
Government workers to register
Fear Loss Of Jobs
