President Backs A-Ban
Output Hall
Would Like
Temporary
Agreement
BY EARL H. VOSS

PRESIDENT Eisenhower today
lined up the United States with
the Soviet Union on the propo-
sition that nuclear weapons tests
can now be temporarily suspend
ed without first stopping nuclear
weapons production.
Mr.. Eisenhower told reporters
this morning he would be per-
fectly delighted to make some
satisfactory arrangements for a
temporary suspension of nuclear
tests. while determining whether
a permanent arrangement could
be made for stopping them.
The principal difference be-
tween the Soviet and American
positions now seems to be over
the time period for the tenn
porary suspension.
Last Friday at the London
disarmament talks the Soviet
Union suggested a two or three
year suspension with ground in
spection posts in the United
States, Britain, the Soviet Union,
and Pacific testing areas.
Time Not Mentioned
The President today did not
mention any time period for
the suspension, but other sources
had previously advised The Star
that 10 months to one year is
being considered here.
Whether France, Britain and
Canada, the other participants
in the United Nations disarma-
ment subcommittee negotiations
in London. agree with the new
United States attitude is not
known. France in the past has
indicated she would insist on a
cutoff of nuclear weapons pro-
duction first, before agreeing to
a suspension Of tests.
Britain. Russia and America
are the only three countries now
producing nuclear weapons.
France Is known to aspire to
entering the nuclear weapons
field herself. If she were to
agree to q nuclear test morator-
ium she could not test her uroto-
type weapons.
The President indicated he
wanted to use the first suspen-
sion period for perfecting an
inspection system that could
conduct surveillance not only Of
tests but Of nuclear weapons
production, as well.
Under such an arrangement,
the first move toward curtailing
or stopping production of rs
Sionable materials for weapons
purposes could come at the end
OF the first test suspension
period.
Inspections Emphasized
Mr.. Eisenhower stressed that
the temporary test ban would
have to be accompanied by an
effective inspection system. He
said the latest Soviet proposal.
which contained for the first
time acceptance of ground in
spection posts for detecting
secret tests. suggests Moscow
now is willing to arrange this.
The President indicated he be-
lieves an inspection system can
be devised which would be good
enough at the end of the first
suspension period to determine
the actual flow of all fission-
able materials. for weapons or
peaceful uses.
Then the United States pre-
would be willing to
agree to a complete cutoff of nu-
clear-weapons production. be-

.Hoffa Wiretap
Denied byU. 5.
Court Here Voids
BrowneII Subpoena
BY HOWARD L. DUTKIN


James r. Hoffa's lawyer today
claimed evidence against him
was obtained by overlapping
but the Government promptly
denied it.
Federal Judge Burnita S
Matthews then voided a SUBJ
poena that had been issued by
attorneys for Transfers Vice
President Hoffa and Lyman I
Fischbach. a lawyer, which called
on Attorney General Brownell To
appear with any data showing
he authorized agents to tap the
phone wires of Mr.. Hoffa or Mr..
Fischbach.
In quashing the Subpoena,
Judge Matthews observed that
the defense lawyers had not pro-
duced any supporting affidavits
to indicate That wires were
tapped.
20 on Trial Today
On the other hand. she said,
the Government had produced
sworn data to the contrary.
The Judge was referring to an
affidavit filed with the court to-
day by Mr.. Brownell in which
he denied that recording devices
or wire taps were used in con-
nection with the case.
Mr.. Hoffa and Mr.. Fischbach
are slated to go on trial today
before Judge Matthews in U. S.
District Court. They are accused
of bribing John Cheasty. a New
York attorney and former Sc
cret Service agent, to obtain a
position with the select Senate
committee investigating labor
racketeering and turn over to
them information from the COM
mittee's files.
Mr.. Cheasty notified commit
tee members and agreed to play
along with Mr.. Fischbach and
Mr.. Hoffa. it was said, in order
to expose the scheme.
Certain data was turned over,
the Government declared. Some
of this material was found on
Mr.. Hoffa when he was arrested
here last March, the Government
said.
Says He Got Tip
In his motion to suppress evil
dence that may be supplied by
Mr.. Cheasty against the Defend
ants. Defense Attorney Edward

Matthews that he believed there

visit Of the Prime Minister. He
said that he and the Secretary
Of State were looking forward
to the visit. 1t was the American
belief, he said, that there were
great opportunities opening up
to an increase in understanding
between ourselves and the Jap
anese.
The President added that he
considered Mr.. Kishi's visit a
great opportunity for profitable
talks.
Kishi Reads Statement
After inspecting troops Of the
honor guard-only one soldier
collapsed in the intense heat re-
fiected from the concrete run
ways-Mr. Kishi stepped to the
microphone and read a statement
in his native language. An in
terpreter read a translation.
THE purpose of my visit is to
hold frank and friendly discus
sions with the President, the Vice
President and the Secretary of
State and other high officials of
the United States Government
on matters of common interest
to Japan and America.
Our Government will seek
through our talks the ways and
means by which we can further
strengthen our ties Of friend
ship and cooperation and work
together more closely. and hence,
more effectively, in the cause of
world peace and human welfare.
Il look forward to the talks
which will begin today and con-
tinue until Friday"
No Mention Of Girard
No mention was made by the
Prime Minister Of the explosive
Girard case which has placed
the United States and Japan
further at odds than they have
been at any time since the end
Of World War II.
The official party then en-
tered the limousines and drove
to Blair House to prepare for
lunch.
Mr.. Kishi accompanied by
Japan's Ambassador Koichiro
