Soviet S Farley
Price 'TooHiuh
Door Not Closed,
Dulles Asserts
BY EARL H. VOSi
star stan Writer

The Soviet Unions political
price for a summit meeting i:
still too high, Secretary oil
State Dulles told newsmen
today.
But he indicated he does not
consider the price to be final.
Soviet leaders are still nego-
tiating. he said. and the United
States does not take yester-
days Kremlin repetition of its
earlier position as the last
word.
Five Soviet Proposals
Mr.. Dulles named five points
making up the terribly high"
political price he believes the
Soviet Union seeks to exact:
81. The equating of certain
Eastern European governments
such as Czechoslovakia and
Rumania with such Western
governments as those of the
United Kingdom, France and
Italy;
20. Acceptance of the legiti-
macy of the East German pup
pet regime and acquiescence in
the continued division of Ger
many;
80. Ending the agreed Joint
responsibility of the four for
mer occupying powers of Ger
many for the rcunification OF
Germany, a responsibility re-
affirmed at Geneva in 1855.
"A. Acceptance of the Soviet
claim for numerical parity in
bodies dealing with matters
such as disarmament. within
the competence of the United
Nations General Assembly,
parity which If conceded
would give the SoVletS a veto
power in many functions of
the General Assembly-en-
abling them to evade the will
of the great majority and thus
to weaken the United Nations
further by. in important re-
spectS. importing into the Gen.
eral Assembly the same weak
nesses that have crippled the
Security Council.
Thesis Not Specified
"5. The acceptance Of an
agenda so formulated that vir-
tually every item-nine out of
1l-implies acceptance of a
basic Soviet thesis that the
Western powers reject"
Mr.. Dulles was not asked
what Soviet thesis he had in
mind. Presumably he referred

Capitol Space--and these ARE
the two on which opponents
concentrate their attacks.
The critics, led by a small
group within the American
Institute Of Architects, don't
say much about the deteriora-
ton. And what they do say is
long on speculation and short
on facts.
The east front, the critics
say. obviously needs repair. But

however, that none of the cuts
would affect necessary services.
On the contrary, it noted. the

tivities have been increased by
the committee.

ministration; SAL million for

and 1913 million for st. Eliza

THE committee is pleased to
note" its report stated, "the
high commentator of the
Commission on Institutions of
Higher Education of the Middle
States Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools given to
Howard University. The COM
mittee is of the belief that with
the increase of 100000 in the
item for salaries and expenses
the university will be able to
maintain the high standards
that it has achieved"
The House committee made
clear that the administration
will have to come back to Con-
greSs for additional money to
meet needs it apparently did
not anticipate when the or
iginal budget was prepared last
fall. The committee COM
planned that the original budget
nevertheless was unrealistic
when prepared and, moreover,
that lin spite of all this the
administration has failed to
make any revision of their Or
iginal estimates to bring them
more in line with current re-
alities."
