Allies Urged to Make Bilateral Treaties With Reds

LONDON, RIGeorge F. Ken nan urged the western allies last night to abandon their opposition to bilateral negotiations with the Russians.
 Coalitions are poor negotiators, particularly when anything posi- tive is to be achieved" said the leading American expert on So- viet affairs in the second of a lec- ture series he is giving over the British Broadcasting Corp.
 The nited States, Britain and France have steadfastly rejected Soviet suggestions for U.S.-Rus- sian talks on major world issues. The British and French fear such bilateral negotiations would force them into the back seat.
 ''I am sure the people of the world would prefer we make some sort of progress privately rather than that we continue to get nowhere in series of sterling public demonstrations of Atlantic unity" said Kennan, former US. ambassador to Moscow and auth or of the Vests containment pol icy.
 Kennan also said summit talks between the Western and Soviet government chiefs would be vir- tually useless except tat the end of a negotiating process and for the purpose of formalizing agree ments already arrived at, rather than at the beginning"
 The Soviet leaders, he contin- ued, "are committed, by their en- tire political record to date, to a strangely distorted image of the outside world"

Expense Account Items Must Be On Tax Form

WASHINGTON, R-The head of the Internal Revenue Service says that where necessary, esti- mates may be used in reporting expense account items for income tax purposes.
 But Director Russell c. Her rington, asked about reports from his service that the little taxpayer can forget the whole thing, re- piled, "Such reports are not cor rect"
 He did agree, in a copyrighted interview with the magazine US. News & World Report, that "gen- erally speaking, yes" it is the peo- pie with large expense accounts on whom the service will check carefully.
 "A revenue agent isn't going to spend a lot of time on small amounts" he said at one point. 
 Ever since 1921, the law has re- quired than an employe who in- CUTS business expenses for which his employer repays him must re- port as income the money he re- ceives in payment. He then may deduct his expenses. But that requirement has been generally ignored by many with small expense accounts, and the Revenue Service has not com plained.
 The Internal Revenue Service has changed the 1857 income tax forms to require listing totals ol these items on the form itself in stead of only on separate sheet of paper. That led to reports o1 an intensive crackdown, which IRS officials sought informally tc contradict with word that little change was anticipated.

 After talking with her husband at a hospital, Mrs. Robert J. Mo Murray of East Berlin, Conn, de- scribed his ordeal. s'Sgt. Campbell pulled my husband and two other crewmen out of the wreckage, ? she said. 'One of the men had a broken back. My husband had a broken leg. Then Campbell went back into the plane and got sleep ing bags.
 ''Then the sergeant dragged my husband and the others into the sleeping bags. Otherwise, they would have frozen to death.''
 The period of waiting began. Campbell fired flares, but they couldn't be seen thru the snowfall. Finally the four were spotted from the air.

Navy Will Try To Advance Date Of US. Satellite

WASHINGTON, RLThe Navy announced today that if it is suc- cessful in launching a small six inch satellite next month it will then try to launch a fully instru- mented 20-inch satellite ahead of the original March target date.
 Original plans called for the launching of three ''test vehicles" containing six-inch, 3.4-pound satellite spheres. The first would be sent up some time during De- cember.
 But spokesman said if the Navy was successful in launching the small sphere into an orbit on the first test the other two prelim- mary tests might be foregone and an attempt made to put 20-inch sphere into orbit.
 The original plan as announced by President Eisenhower some weeks ago was that the month of March was the objective for put ting the larger sphere into orbit.

 The flight market the first time "cell of planes" as the Air Force describes the group, had made such trip. It took slightly less than "A hours.
 The big B-52s screamed to a pre-dawn landing at Plattsburgh Air Force Base yesterday. The 54 crewmen caught up on their sleep while the craft were checked and fueied, then they were off to the home field, Loring AFB in Maine
 The planes roared over the Ar genuine capital Saturday after noon, where an air show was be- ing held as climax to Argen- tina's Aeronautica1 Week.
 The bombers, each powered by eight jet engines, flew on direct route to Argentina from Home stead AFB, Fla, and back at an average ground speed of 560 mph- at attitudes of 10000 to 50, ,O00 feet.
 The bomhers were refueled by KC-135 and KC-97 tankers. It was the first time a KC-135 was used to refuel a B-52 on a 1ong-distance flight, an Air Force spokesman said.
 Earlier last week, Gen. Curtis LeMay commanded one of these huge tanker planes on a record breaking flight from Massachu- setts to Buenos Aires. The 6,35O miles was flown without stopping or refueling.
