Soviet Press Plays Up
|BuIgonin Treaty Plea

In the press throughout the
whole Communist world.
Diplomats here noted with in-s
terest that Mr.. Bulganin did not.
treat Mr.. Eisenhower's reply as a.
rejection Of his treaty idea. The
Soviet Premier simply took up
the Presidents objections, one
after the other. The impression
was that the Soviet government
was not yet ready to dash its.
peoples hopes that there will be-
future negotiations on q treaty.
The Soviet press did not seem
to reflect an effort to keep the.
spirit Of Geneva alive. The tone.
seemed pre-Geneva. The gov
eminent newspaper Izvestia, for.
example, said the joint British;
American declaration which fol.5
lowed the Eisenhower-Ed talks:
"reeks Of hatred for the Soviet
Union and peoples democracies. ;"
Pravda commented sit is easy
to see that the Washington deal
was hamstrung not only by the:
contradictory interests Of the.
British and American monopolies
in different parts of the world
it was thwarted by the great
force Of our times-the public
opinion Of peace-loving peoples
who oppose war preparations"

Wirths was a witness before

New Red Trade
|Curbs Urged
By the Associated Press

Senator Mcclellan, Democrat,
of Arkansas, called today for
"even tighter restrictions"
against trade with both Russia
and Red China.
Other Senators voiced opposi-
ton to any move to relax Chi
nese trade controls, as British
Prime Minister Eden suggested
yesterday.
Senator Mcclellan, chairman
of the Senate Investigations SUBJ
committee, said he hoped to start
hearings Wednesday or Thurs
day into alleged Western ship
ments Of strategic materials to
the Soviet bloc.
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland Of California said he
thought the Senate Foreign Re-
llations Committee ought to seek
assurances" from Secretary OF
State Dulles that the United
States will oppose any move to
ease controls.
Threats Cited
He said this Is particularly
| true in view of Red Chinese
Premier Chou En-Lai's repeated
threats to use force to "liberate''
Formosa.
The Red China trade contro-
Iversey started up afresh as the
Ioutgrowth Of the three-day talks
between President Eisenhower
and Sir Anthony this week.
The two agreed, a joint decla-
ration said. that trade controls
should be reviewed periodically
in the light Of changing condo
tons ESQ they may best serve
the interest Of the free world."
Sir Anthony told a news con-
ference yesterday that his gov
Iernment favors a "step-by-step
arrangement" which would bring
Western shipments to Red China
to the same level as to Russia.
He declined to predict what the
United States attitude might be.
The United States is repeatedly
strongly opposed to easing con-
trolls on trade with China.
Not Too Sympathetic
Senator Humphrey, Democrat
of Minnesota, a member Of the
Foreign Relations Committee.
said II am not too sympathetic
with Eden's proposal" but added
my attitude does not preclude a
careful examination Of what
Britain may have in mind"
Senator Sparkman. Democrat
of Alabama, said he saw little to
be gained by relaxing restrictions
on American shipments to China,
but added the United States may
have to consider later the posi-
Ibility OF easing restrictions on
Japanese trading with Red China
to the point where Japan could
sell non-strategic goods to the
Chinese.
