AS to conditions, the President
declared that the meeting must
be held within the framework
and under the rules of the Sc
curity Council, which would
have responsibility for deter
mining what nonmember
nations should be invited to sit
in for consultation.
Premier Khrushchev had pro-
posed in a note Wednesday
that leaders of India and the
Arab states be invited. If the
Council should issue this invi-
tation, officials indicated the
United States would insist on
invitations also for Israel and
probably such Baghdad pact
allies as Turkey, Iran and
Pakistan.
President Eisenhower told
Premier Khrushchev the United
States agrees that the proposed
meeting should be limited to
a discussion of the problems of
the Middle East, including the
causes Of those problems"
1t was at this point that Mr.,
Eisenhower plainly indicated q

At the start of competition

At the same time the Colts

Because of the Colts-Navy

postpone it until three days

KaIine Takes
Cut in Salary
BY the Associated Prsss

~ VIZ AoooStatea EAOca
Slugeer Al Kaline has ended
his mild salary differences with
the Detroit Tigers by taking q
slight cut in pay.
The 23-year-old rightfielder,
q member Of the American
League All-Star outfield for
three years running, came to
terms yesterday in a brief con-
ference with General Manager
John McHale.
Kaline's 1858 contract is be-
lieved to call for q salary Of
about $4,000. He batted .295
last season, hit % home runs
and batted in 90 runs.
There is talk that Kaline
may be switched from right
field to centerield this year.
The switch depends on whether
Shortstop Harvey Kuenn makes
good as an outfielder, whether
someone takes over at short
stop and whether the Tigers
can find someone to play third
base on a full-time basis.
The Tigers also signed
Pitcher Paul Foytack, who has
won 20 games over the last
two seasons. The 27-year-old
Highlander won II and lost IL
last year.
Meanwhile. the Yankees gave
Infielder Gil McDougald q
5000 raise to an estimated
S34, 900 and also signed Tony
Kubek. the 1857 rookie-of-the-
year who played five positions.
McvDougald hit .2e9 and was
fifth in the most-valuable play
er voting. while Kubek batted
.297.
Ernie johnson, righthanded
relief pitcher who had q 7-3
record. came to terms with the
