(AP).-Red Chinese guns poured
more than $4,000 shells on Que
moy and Little Quemoy in a
2-hour bombardment today.
Defense Ministry Spokesman

previous biggest bombardment
of the Quemoys, in June 1857.
He gave no estimates of dam
age or casualties suffered by
Nationalist defenders. He said
the Smelling, which was returned
by the Nationalist, came from
Annoy and the mainland and

Breaks on Talks
Mr.. Gromyko suddenly broke
of these talks June 16 by ac-

The Western Big Three sent
a note to Mr.. Gromyko July /

reply has been forthcoming so
far.
United States officials said no
pressure for a Soviet reply has
been exerted until today be-
cause it appeared possible a
summit meeting 'might take
place within the U. N. Security
Council during the recent Mid
die East crisis. Russia, however
finally baked at that idea.
But two things have hap

Slow Congress Pace
May ProIong Session
Foreign Aid
Bill Debated
In Senate
BY CECIL HOLLAND and
ROBERT X. WALSH
Sc, otaR xuri4arg

Congress moved slowly
toward adjournment today as
the Senate took up the foreign
aid appropriation bill and the
House sent to the White House
a measure increasing the ma
tional debt limit temporarily
to 1888 billion.
While leaders hoped for ad-
journment some time tonight of
the second session OF the 85th
Congress, which has lasted
nearly eight months, they rec
ognized that foreign aid and
other controversial must" bills
might delay the quitting time
until next week.
Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. johnson of Texas de-
clined to predict whether the
legislative work could be COM
pleted in time for adjournment
some time late tonight.
Senate Republican Leader
Knowland of California said it
was touch and CO."
Marathon Meeting
The Senate went into session
at 10 am. after a marathon
meeting Of nearly IA hours yes
terday. It spent an hour and
20 minutes in the so-called
morning hour" during which
members made insertions In
the Congressional Record and
INDUCED in brief speeches.
These included a new attack by
Senator Symington, Democrat
of Missouri, on the administra-
tons defense efforts.
The House, on the other
hand, met at II am. and moved
quickly to complete legislative
action on the debt limit meas
ure.
It concurred in Senate
amendments that would eStab-
lish a new permanent debt limit
Of $3.50 billion with a tempo
rary limit of 1888 billion until
June 80, 1859. The House had
approved originally an increase
in the permanent debt limit
from $275 billion at present to
$285 billion with an additional
So billion limit until June 80,
I196O.
The House also took up a
military construction bill total
ling $1,354,000,0OO, including
more than 500 million for
projects in the District, Mary
land and Virginia. The House
insisted on one of its provisions
and sent the bill back to the
Senate where it will be taken up
later in the day.
Malone First Speaker
The Senate swung into de-
bate on the foreign aid bill with
! Senator Malone, Republican of
Nevada, getting the first ora
torical crack at the measure.
Leaders indicated they did not
know how long Senator Malone
would speak and still another
delaying obstacle was in the
! person of Senator Ellender,
Democrat Of Louisiana. Sena-
! tor Ellender planned a two
hour speech, or longer, in sup
, lport Of amendments to trim
the bill by $3.50 million.
, The House voted foreign aid
! money totaling $3,078,O0O 900.
The pending Senate version
J calls for almost a half billion
additional in assistance funds.
! Still another possible obstacle
! was in the House where Repre-

Geneva Favorable
To U. S. as Site,
Officials Believe

American oft1cialS predicted
today Russia probably will &C
cept the proposal Of President
Eisenhower and British Prime
Minister Macmillan to start
negotiations October 81 on a
worldwide system to prevent
sneak nuclear weapons tests.
Mr.. Eisenhower offered yes
terday to suspend United States
nuclear tests for at least one
year, provided such negotiations
got under way.
His only other condition was
that Russia continue its Az
month-old halt in Soviet tests.
TIE Russians announced the
halt after completing a test
series.
Mr.. Eisenhower called, in a
statement and a note to the
Kremlin, for talks in New York
under United Nations auspices.
Results would be reported
through Secretary General Dag
.Hammarskjold to the U. N.
General Assembly and the Sc
curity Council.
Geneva Acceptable
Oficials who forecast prob
able Soviet acceptance said the
Russians might suggest Geneva
or some other site for the talks.
This, it was learned, would be
all right with the United States.
In Russia, Radio Moscow and
the Tass News Agency reported
Mr.. EiSenhower's proposal with
out comment. There was no
comment from Soviet officials.
In Congress, both Republic
cans and Democrats voiced
praise for the offer.
But Representative Holif1eld,
Democrat of California, OBJ
iected strongly to another part
of the Eisenhower statement
which left the way open for
resumption Of tests unless,
among other things, there was
satisfactory progress toward
disarmament. Mr.. Holifleld said
such q condition could kill the
plan.
United States officials said
their expectation Of Soviet &C
ceptance was based primarily
on results of q seven-week &C.
neva meeting of scientists from
the United States, Russia and
six other countries on both
sides of the Iron Curtain.
System Held Possible
The scientists agreed it was
technically possible to create a
worldwide system Of inspection
stations, repeatedly about 100,
to make sure nobody cheated
on any agreement to ban nu-
clear tests.
Britain also offered to SuS.
pend its tests after a projected
series is completed this fall
and to participate in detailed
diplomatic talks to set up the
monitoring system conceived
by the scientists at Geneva.

People yesterday asked Justice
Whitaker for an order remov-
ing all legal barriers to i'm
mediate re-entry Of Negro
pupils into Central High, a
focal point in the far-ranging
indignation controversy.
Aim Of Action
The NAACP action seeks, in
part, to set aside an order Of
the United States Eighth Cir
cult Court of Appeals in st.
Louis which would delay in
tegration at the Arkansas high
school until the Supreme Court
has ruled on the main issues
in the case.
The petition was directed to
Justice Whitaker because the
full court is in summer recess
until October 6, and he has
jurisdiction over the Eighth
Circuit which includes Ar
kansas.
With Justice Whitaker on
his way to Los Angeles, Thur
good Marshall Of New York,
chief counsel for the NAACP,
filled the petition with the Office
of the Supreme Court clerk.
The courts deputy clerk, Ed
mund P. Cullinan, last night

where the Justice plans to at
tend the American Bar AsSo-
Iciation convention.

vised that they have until noon
