Covemen Wearing NyIon
TRY Out Prehistoric Life

TOULOUSE, France, July 10
Pl. - Eight Frenchmen who
have lived a couple of weeks on
snails. wild berries and hand
caught fish as volunteer cave
men can tell you it's one way to
lose weight.
Most have dropped from five
to seven pounds.
Their subsistence under pre-
historic conditions on a lime
stone plateau in Southern
France is tough life. They're
without matches. tools or weap-
ons, eating only what they can
catch with their bare hands or
root from the earth.
And they still have week to
go in this French army expert
ment to see how long soldiers
could hold out under similar
conditions.
Originally there we're nine in

The remaining team includes
two soldiers, a veterinarian, a
biologist, and local radio re-

They sleep in the open or
when weather is bad, in a cave

a refuge. The cavemen's draw

The detectives in this period
would be to reduce the Army

Marine Corps by 100000 and the
Air Force by 100000.
Any war most likely would be
a general one, short. violent and

sequently, Army forces overseas
would be reduced to token

In a war the Army would not
be committed, except for token
forces because both m"biliza-

action might take place before
the Army could be shipped over

Transit Farley
.Is0n Again
Conferees Discuss
Standby Powers
BY HECTOR Mclean

For the third time in a row,
House and Senate transit con-
ferees meet again today in an
effort to keep Washington buses
and streetcars running after
August IA.
Representative Harris, Demo-
crat of Arkansas, leader of the
House confereeS, said the major
problem facing the lawmakers
was what authority to give the
District Commissioners if Cap
Iital Transit Co. stockholders
should reject a management deal
Ito sell out to o. Roy Chalk, or
if the deal should take more
time to complete than remains
before August Is.
1t has been proposed that if
the deal is turned down, the
Commissioners should be en-
powered to grant to any other
buyer the same franchise terms
approved for Mr.. Chalk.
Alternatives Suggested
Another idea if title searches
and bond printing take more
than the 33 days left, is that the
Capital Transit Co. lease its
system to Mr.. Chalk's TEA In
vesting Corp, which has con-
tracted to buy out etc for $13,-
$4,000 Still another proposal
to which etc has given oral APP
lproval, would have the company
continue to operate on monthly
permits issued by the Commits
sionerS.
The conferees met yesterday
from 2:42 pm. until 7 pm, with
an hour recess while the con-
ferees answered two roll call
votes in the House and one in
the Senate.
Chalk BaIks
Most Of the time was spent
deciding how to revoke the 20
year franchise of the newly or
ganized D. c. Transit System
Inc. before it even has beer
granted. Finally, Mr.. Harris said
the conferees agreed tentatively
on language under which The
new company would waive any
right to claim damages resultinf
from franchise revocation aftel
the first seven years.
This, presumably, would leave
the company free to sue fol
damages If the franchise were
revoked within that period. TIL,

House Group
DefiesLeaderon
Retirement Bill
csc Committee
Holds Session Over
Murruy's Objection
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

Members of the House Civil
Service Committee today defled
their chairman and met in ex-
ecutive session on the Civil
Service Retirement Bill.
Fifteen of the IS members
showed up for the meeting, ig-
noring the notice sent them yes
terday afternoon by Chairman
Murray that no session would be
held until next Tuesday when
hearings on the legislation would
be resumed.
The committee at it's session
today voted to meet again in
executive session at $50 am.
Tuesday and to meet daily there
after until a bill is reported.
The inSurgent movement to
wind up hearings on the bill
and start executive sessions to
draft legislation came from
committee members who pro-
tested that the measures chances
would be imperiled by the pend
ing adjournment of Congress.
Hear Philip Young
The group met today and
heard additional testimony from
Philip Young, Civil Service Com
mission chairman. and then
planned to start work on the bill.
Mr.. Murray was the only one
of the Is Democrats on the
committee not present today
Presiding was Representative
Morrison, Democrat of Louisiana,
the groups ranking majority
member. Three of the II Repub-
licans on the committee also
attended.
Some of the members said
the Legislative Reorganization
Act permits a majority of a
committees members to schedule
meetings or take other action
over the opposition of a chair
man.
However, several other mem
bers said they felt it would be
a mistake to antagonize Mr.
Murray and would not do the
retirement bill any good.
Passed by Senate
The retirement bill was APP
proved by the Senate several
months ago. For the last three
or four weeks, the House Civil
Service Committee has held
hearings on the measure. Mr..
Murray, who favors the admin
istration's proposal that the
Senate bills provisions be modi-
fed, has scheduled hearings
into next week, when admin
istration officials as we'll as men,
bers of Congress will be heard.
However, IN Mr.. Murray's abb
sence yesterday, the committee
members revolted against pro-
longing the hearings and said
that the retirement bills chances
were threatened by the pending
adjournment of Congress within
the next three weeks. In heated
battle, the motion to wind up
the hearings and go into execu-
tive session carried by a vote of
Is to 10.
Young Interrupted
Mr.. Young was halfway
through his testimony when the
motion was made to wind up the
hearings, with the understand
ing that the remainder of Mr..
Young's testimony would be
heard in executive session.
Committee members who voted
against winding up the hearings
abruptly warned that such ac-
ton might antagonize the ad-
ministration to such an extent
that the retirement bill might
face a presidential veto. They
said that they wanted to give
Mr.. Young sufficient time to
answer the various questions
that have arisen regarding the
retirement legislation, as well
as hearings from other commits
sion retirement officials.

The Germans, rolling out the
red carpet for Mr.. Nehru, will
give him an honorary degree
from the University of HAMBURG
But it is not simply kudos that
the Bonn government has in
mind for Mr.. Nehru.
UnificatiOn Is Goal
If they play their cards right
German leaders believe-there
is a lot Mr.. Nehru can do for
Germany. Specifically, the Bonn
government hopes to convince
the Indian that he should use
his apparently great influence
with the Kremlin to obtain uni
f1cation of Western and Com
munist Eastern Germany.
This will be a good trick if
they can do it, and officials ex-
press no outright confidence
that they can swing the deal.
But they have high hopes.
At the same time. of course.
Mr.. Nehru has some points of
his own that he would like to
make with the West Germans.
He is expected to explain the
benefits of his country's policy
of non alliance" in the cold
war. That policy has a lot of
attraction for many Germans
who believe military alignment
with the West dooms any hope
of unif1cation.

Report to President

BY JOSEPH FOX
Star Stad Correspondent

GETTYSBURG, Pa, July 49,
Bad flying weather in the Get
tysberg area today held Vice
President Nixon in Washington
and delayed until tomorrow a
meeting with President Essen
hover here.
The Vice President, due to
report on his ASiatic trip-and
presumably talk over second
term campaign plans-will be
here at $3.50 O'Clock tomorrow
morning. Press Secretary James
c. Hagerty said.
Secretary of State Dulles, who
is due to sit in on the meeting
lat the Eisenhower farm, flew
here before the weather changed.
and Mr.. Hagerty said he would
talk over State Department
business" with the President.
Adams, Hawkes. Made Trip
Mr.. Hagerty added that there
was nothing that either the Sec
rotary of State nor himself could
say about the discussion.
Mi. Dulles was accompanied
on the trip from Washington by
Sherman Adams, presidential as
slstant. and Wayne Hawkes.,
White House records chief.
The Nixon flight was cancelled
shortly before noon, when the
bad weather area extended 20
or IS miles south of Gettysburg,
according to 1t. Col. William G.
Draper, the presidential pilot.
1t was overcast and raining
hard at the airport and after
telephone conversation to
Washington from the airport
Mr.. Hagerty announced the
change in plans.
The Nixon visit comes in the
wake of a ringing Endorsement
for a second term for the Vice
PreSid ent by Republican Ma
tional Committee arm a n
Leonard Hall, who talked to Mr..
Eisenhower here yesterday and
then told newsmen the Presi-
dent absolutely" again had made
it clear that he would be de
lighted" to have Mr.. Nixon on
the ticket in November.
Mr.. Hall thought that there
might be some announcement on
the subject of the Nixon candi-
dacy in the near future" but
he did not amplify.
. Since the Presidents recent
illness, there has been a recur-
renee of the dump Nixon" talk
repeatedly stemming from the
feeling that a stronger" candi-
date is needed, but the Hall
statement made it plain that
the G. o. P. high command is
having none of that.
Due Back After Week End
Meanwhile, it seemed likely
that President Eisenhower would
be returning to Washington
Monday or Tuesday.
Mr.. Eisenhower has been at his
farm home since June 80. having
left Walter Reed Army Hospital
just three weeks to the day after
he underwent the emergency alb
domlnal operation. Mr.. Hagerty
said he did not know what vaca-
ton plans might be in the offing
The Presidents weight con-
tinues at 1853 pounds-the same
as it was when he left the hos
pital. This is nine pounds less
than the level--172-which mis-
doctors were seeking to maintain
during his convalescence from
last September's heart attack
but Mr. Hagerty said the physi-
clans were mot concerned" al

other embassies proposed the
organization as a substitute for
Euratom, the six-nation agency
which the nations of the Schu-
man coal-steel pool now are in
the process of organizing. The
six are France, West Germany,
Italy. Belgium. The Netherlands
and Luxembourg.
The Soviet statement charged
Euratom would be tool of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
cation. 1t asserted that West
German participation in Eura-
tom would deepen the division
of Germany and in effect give
the Germans the chance to
manufacture atomic weapons.
Proposes Conference
The Soviet circular note said:
The Soviet government con-
siders the moment opportune to
conyoke a conference of Euro
pean countries to examine the
problem of creating a regional
organization for peaceful use of
atomic energy.
This organization could be
created on an intergovernmental
basis with the participation Of
all European states which ex-
press a desire to do so. The
United States could also particle
pate in this organization.
The Communist nations have
their own atomic organization
the United Institute of Nuclear
Research 1t includes not only
European states but Communist
China, Outer Mongolia and
North Wet Nam. The Soviet
Union has contributed nuclear
research equipment to the or
ganization, which plans to set
up its center in the Soviet Union.
Refers to Atomic Weapons
The Soviet circular added:
In expressing its conviction
that interested governments will
willingly give their attention to
this appeal from the USSR the
Soviet government also expresses
the conviction that such CO.
operation of all European coun-
tries would contribute greatly
to an agreement concerning the
banning of atomic and hydrogen
weapons and the exclusion Of
these weapons from the arma-
ments of all states and would
assure the use of all nuclear
materials only for peaceful ends,
for the progress of science and
technique, for the good Of
humanity"
The Soviet government also
sent its suggestion to embassies
OF neutral countries including
Switzerland and Austria.
1t said the coolest days Of the
cold war had passed and, there
fore. the moment was propitious
to establish a cooperative or
SANITATION for the control and
development of the uses of
atomic energy in peacetime.
There was no suggestion for
the time or place of the proposed
atomic conference of European
nations. Such an organization
could only be effective on the
basis of absolute equality of all
members and no military, po-
litical or economic conditions
