Red China Calls
Ifs Congress

HONG KONG, May IA R.-
Red China has summoned its
National Peoples Congress to
meet next month and has called
for biannual local elections during
the last half of this year, the
Communist New China news
agency said today.
The Peoples Congress-third
since 1954-was set for mid
June.
1t will discuss problems raised
by the campaign to socialiZe the
nation of 600 million people in a
few years time rather than on
the long-range schedule origi-
nally envisaged.
The elections will be for mem
bers of$he various local Peoples
Congress ranging from munich
palities down to villages. Village
balloting is expected to be COM
pleted between July and Novem-
Der, the others by December.
The Peoples Congress on pa
per is the nations most power
full body. In practice the central
committee of the. Communist
Party is superior. Mao Tze-tung
heads both the Party and con-
gresS.
The congress is empowered to
elect China's leaders but in two
sessions so far it has pulled no
surprises In that direction. The
same hierarchy remains at the
top and is likely to do so after its
third session.
The speeded : up specialization
drive only yesterday brought an
nouncement of a major change
in the Peiping government setup.

Reds Promise to Abolish
Concentration CAMPS

MOSCOW, May IA (P). - A
high secret police official says the
Soviet Union will abolish its con-
camps within the next
18 months.
He told a group of visiting
French Socialists the change
would leave only ordinary prisons
and corrective labor colonies
for Grant Russians.
The official, whose name could
not be disclosed, gave the French
Socialists a rundown of Soviet
penal plans during their visit to
the lula corrective labor camp

ing to something as drastic as
the soil bank"
But he added that, because OF
continued coSt-price squeeze on
farm income, he came to the
view that a soil bank plan would
be an effective tool in meeting
farm problems.
He said he feels the Govern
ment has special responsibility
in the matter because it retained
high, rigid wartime price sup
ports" for 10 years after the end
of World War II.
Uncertain at Origin
Mr.. Benson said that when he
referred to the plan as drastic
he meant its provisions to pay
"a farmer for not growing crops
on certain acres"
The secretary was asked who

advance payments this year to

Eden to Be Questioned
On Frogmon Case Today

LONDON, May IA (R.-Prime
Minister Eden mapped govern
ment strategy for tonight's
showdown parliament session on
his handling Of the strange case
of the missing British frogman
and the Soviet warships.
Sir Anthony was headed for a
sharp grilling in the House of
Commons debate.
Angry leaders Of the labor OPP
position want to know just what
retired naval diver Lionel Crabb
"a World War II hero-was
doing in the icy waters of Ports
mouth harbor near the Russian
warships that brought Premier
Bulganin and Party Chief Nikita
Khrushchev to Britain.
When the question first came
up in Commons last week, Sir
Anthony said Comdr. Crabb was
operating without authorize
ton" and that it would not be in
the nations best interests to say
more.
The Russians insist the diver
was spying. The British press
generally has agreed.
Sir Anthony said the retired
naval officer was testing under
water apparatus" and refused
to go into details. In the debate
tonight, Laborite legislators
hoped to force him into supply
ing the details.
Comdr. Crabb was seen swim
ming near the Soviet cruiser
Ordzhonikidze. and two accom-
panying vessels on April 49,
the day after the Russian party
arrived in Britain.
He has not been seen since.
The admiralty said he was pre-
sumed dead" but didn't explain
why that was presumed.
The British said in a note they
deeply regret" the whole affair
and obviously hope the Kremlin
will let it drop.
1t appeared that Sir Anthony
could tell all. breaking the case
wide open. Or he could risk a
big loss of prestige rather than
disclose details of a secret serv-
ice cloak and dagger operation
on which Comdr. Crabb might
have been working.
Sir Anthony cut short a week.

The new Soviet Union restric-

designed to make the Com

moves. The goal is to create a
favorable atmosphere for push

united front with foreign Social
lists, the aim being to work to-

The new Soviet policy and an
