Dulles Talks.
With Envoy
On Red Note
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of State Dulles,
kept indoors by a bad cold, con-
ferred at home today with Am
bassador Llewellyn Thompson
on how to handle Soviet Pre-
mier Bulganin's latest note to
President Eisenhower.
The State Department said
Mr.. Dulles came down with the
cold after returning from the
Baghdad Pact meeting at An
kara, Turkey, last week.
However, officials said, Mr..
Dulles was able to work at
home, and Mr.. Thompson. back
from his Moscow post for con-
sultation, was called there this
morning.
Mr.. Dulles and Mr.. .Thomp-
son are going over the whole
range of United States-Soviet
relations. particularly on the
key question of diplomatic talks
that could lead to a summit
conference later this year. With
Marshal Bulganin's new letter
at hand, they may develop a
new United States challenge to
Russia to undertake serious
diplomatic negotiations for a
top-level meeting.
U. S. Idea Accepted
Moscow Radio said Marshal
Bulganin wrote Mr.. Eisenhower
that the Soviet Union accepted
the idea of p1paring for a
summit meeting through nor
NAL diplomatic channels. But
he rejected an advance confer
ence of foreign ministers be-
cause of Russian opposition to
Mr.. Dulles.
A Moscow dispatch also said
the Kremlin has advised Mr..
Eisenhower Russia will discuss
control of outer space in a
package deal including aboli-
ton of nuclear weapons and
reduction of armed forces.
Mr.. Eisenhower, meanwhile,
received and started studying
Marshal Bulganin's 17-page
letter. Pending an examination
by both Mr.. Eisenhower and
the State Department. the
White House had no comment
on the document.
Mr.. Dulles had planned to
see Mr.. Eisenhower today, but
was unable to keep the appoint
ment because of the cold.
James c. Hagerty, White House
press secretary, said Mr.. Dulles
probably will call within the
next few days. Mr.. Dulles, on
his return Saturday from An
kara, telephoned Mr.. Eisen-
hover in Augusta, Ga, where
the President spent the week
end golfing and playing bridge.
Attends Staff Farley
Mr.. Thompson called at the
White House this morning and
sat in on a meeting of the
Eisenhower staff. Mr.. Hagerty
said Mr.. Thompson would re-
port to the President only after
comforting with Mr.. Dulles.
The launching of Americas
first earth satellite has been
heralded in Europe as enhanc-
ing the prospects of summit
meeting. Asked about reports
that Mr.. Eisenhower might use
the launching as the basis for
calling a special session of the
United Nations General AS
sembly, Mr.. Hagerty said IT
know of no such plans"
There have been published
reports that Mr.. Eisenhower
might take such a step in order
to make a personal appearance
and urge United Nations sup
port of his proposal to utilize
outer space for peaceful pur-
poses only.

opposition to Secretary of State

Marshal Bulganin, replying
to President Eisenhower's jan
uary IL letter. proposed a
nine-point agenda for a sum-
init meeting of East and West
leaders.
Ready for Summit Talks
Soviet Foreign Ministry
spokesman Leonid F. Iyichev
told a news conference today
the Soviet government is ready

or restricted representation.

Here are the nine points
Marshal Bulganin proposed for
a conference:
/. Immediate suspension Of
atomic and hydrogen bomb
tests.
2. Remuneration by the Soviet
Union, the United States and

weapons.
3. Establishment of an atom

ment today proposed a re-
organization of its mental
health program designed to
save both human minds and
taxpayers dollars.
The recommendations would
bring together the few but far
flung Health Department men,
tai health activities into a
single bureau. 1t would help
patients before disqualification
is needed and provide follow
up care after disqualification.
DR.. Daniel Leo Finucane,
Health Director. handed the
Commissioners the proposals
which would cost the District
some $225,00O more imme-
diately. However, he said, it is
hoped that they could cut down
even more on the current $ll
million annual bill for residents
committed to st. Elizabeths
Hospital.
Plan Long Sought
Such a plan has been long
urged by public and charitable
groups in this field. Dr.. Finu-
cane termed it "a moderate
proposal. designed to meet TIE
city's acute needs" He empha-
sized it is more of a stop-gap
plan than a cure-all pending a
more exhaustive study of actual
mental health needs here.
Hitherto, most proposals to
group mental health activities
together have fallen by the
wayside or been pigeonholed.
The Health Departments
plan is, however, expected to
be received favorably by the
Commissioners. In fact, shortly
after Commissioner David Kar-
rick took Office, he indicated
a mental health program was
high on the must list of Health
Department needs.
The proposals would include
the following:
l. A separate Bureau of
Mental Health within the de-
partment, covering all existing
services now provided by other
bureaus.
2. Regional adult m entail
health clinics and child guild
ance clinics as we'll as a CO.
operative program between the
Health Department and the
Board of Education.
8. A follow-up program for
patients discharged from st.
Elizabeths Hospital to help
them adjust to normal life and
prevent their return to the
mental institution.
4. Expansion of the alcoholic
rehabilitation program and the
legal psychiatric services divi-
sion.
Prevention Is Keynote
The keynote of the proposals.
according to DR.. Finucane. is
the fact that prevention costs
less than cure in the long run.
This, it was pointed out, is true
with both human resources and
money.
The current fiscal years
budget for mental health ac-
tivities in the Health Depart
ment is about $246, 400. The
proposed fiscal 1859 budget
places it at about 1853, 800. I'm
der the proposed program the
1860 fiscal year budget would
be about $499,570. This is in
addition to Federal grants for
mental health projects here
which total 1858. 695 this fiscal
year, $430,460 during fiscal 1859
and a hoped for $558,205 for
fiscal 1860.
The establishment of a sep
arate Bureau of Mental Health
would bring the District into
line with most other major
cities in the country. For some
years psychiatrists at the Dis
