Of France.
The notes were responding to
the Soviet leaders proposal

In the initial Soviet reac-

Everyone knows the USA can

paper commented last night.
The possibility that Generals

raised. The Soviet Union has
long advocated the replace

Red China in the u. N.

The Izvestia article, broad
cast by Radio Moscow, did not
actually rule out Soviet partic-
ipation in q Security Council
summit meeting. however.
Britain, the United States
and France last night sent sep
arate responses to Premier
Khrushchev's Saturday call for
q summit conference in which
India and the United Nations
Secretary General would also
join.
Prime Minister Macmillan
suggested Mr.. Khrushchev 60
to New York and hold the sum-
NIT meeting at the United
Nations Security Council.
President Eisenhower wrote
the Soviet Premier: IF you or
we believe that other aspects
of this (Mideast) problem or
other problems should be ur-
gently dealt with in the inter-
est of peace. then it lies open to
any Of us to enlarge the scope

star star Writer

The Municipal Farmers and
Fish Markets. together with
huge blocks OF business prop
erty near the Washington
waterfront. will be demolished
by October I. 1859. according
to a timetable revealed today.
The proposed schedule af-
fects hundreds Of Southwest
businessmen and employees who
viii be displaced by the pro-.
jected Southwest freeway and
Washington Channel bridge. I
The plan was disclosed by
d. s. Brinkley, chief planning
engineer Of the District High
way Department.
Razing Late Next Year
The Farmers and Fish Mar
kets viii be torn down by Sep
TENDER IS. 1859, under the plan.
The restaurants and fish
dealers now renting space in
the Fish Market win be forced
TO abandon their sites not later
than July is Of next year.
Food brokers and produce
merchants now using the
Farmers Market must vacate
by the same date.

Triangle to Be Cleared
The triangle Of business
property bounded by Eleventh

also is to be cleared by Oc-
tober /, 1869.
Southwest businessmen. who
according to the schedule must
surrender their places Of busi-
ness, long have known they
eventually would be forced to
move. However, until today,
precise information as to when
has been unavailable.
Implementation of the demo-
lition timetable remains con-
tingent upon two factors:
Congress must enact legisla-
ton authorizing destruction of
the Farmers and Fish Markets.
The Redevelopment Land
Agency must aquire the sites
owned by the Terminal Ware
housing and Refrigerating Corp.
and the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Hearing Tomorrow
The House District Subcom-
mittee will conduct a hearing
at 10 am. tomorrow on the
Districts request to abolish the
markets.
Some opposition is antici-
pated. But Mr.. Brinkley said
it probably would focus more
upon the timing Of the demoli-
ton than upon the demolition
itself.

tiating for the warehouse and
railroad property.

Nationally. consumer prices
rose one-tenth of / per cent
in June as food prices remained
unchanged on the average for
the second successive month.
Many Items Stable
There were slight advances
In the prices Of transportation,
recreation, medical care and
personal care while all other
major costs remained at their
May levels.
At the same time the bureau
announced that spendable
earnings and the buying power
of factory production workers
rose sharply as a result Of the
heightened work week in June.
More than 81 was added to
the weekly pay check with
the increase of about one half
hour in work time. After tax
deductions. spendable earnings
were set at a record high for
June at $75.55 per week for
a worker with three depend
ents and $68.l4 per week for q
worker without dependents.
Buying Power Up
The small rise in the con-
sumner price index Offset these
high earnings only slightly,
with the result that buying
power was almost is per cent
over the month before. How
ever. June buying power was
2.5 per cent less than q year ago
because Of price increases which
have occurred during the past
year.
Commissioner Evan Clague
told a news conference that as
yet the Middle East situation
has had no effect on the Ma
tons cost of living.
AS a result Of the change In
the consumer price index for
June, a total of SIS. 900 workers
will receive wage increases be-
cause Of escalator clauses in
union contracts, Mr.. Clague
reported. The largest number
of these. $4,000 are in the
electrical, Woodworking. air
craft and chemical industries.
In addition. 100000 in the
trucking industry will be given
increases.
Mr., Clague also said that
during the first week in July,
new-car sales dropped 20 per
cent daily, mainly because Of
the holiday period.

Withdrew Troops

UNITED NATIONS, N. 2.
July 20 R.-Secretary Gen.
eral Dag Hammarskjold worked
today to re-inforce the U. N.
observer corps in Lebanon so
American troops can pull out.
Mr.. Hammarskjold took the
job on himself after the second
Soviet veto in four days
blocked efforts to ease the
Middle East crisis. The Coun-
Gil adjourned indefinitely to
await the Secretary Generals
action and the outcome Of ne
gotiations for a summit meet
ing on the Middle East.
Mr.. Hammarskjold indicated
he would ask u. N. members
for more men to build up the
observer group so they might
make 1t possible for the United
States to withdraw its 10000
troops from Lebanon.
II shall use all opportunities
offered to the Secretary General
to help" and develop the
group $50 as to give 1t all the
significance 1t can have" he
told the council. "You viii for
give me for not being able to
spell out. at this moment. what
it may mean beyond that"
Russia Casts s5th Veto
Russia's s5th veto defeated q
Japanese resolution calling on
the u. N. TO make possible
the withdrawal Of United States
forces from Lebanon" by ar
ranging to protect that coun-
try's territorial integrity and
political independence.
This protection was the pur-
pose Washington announced for
landing Marines in Lebanon
July Is. the day after the Iraqi
monarchy was overthrow by
supporters Of President Nasse..
Col. Nasser opposes the pro-
Western LebaneSe government.
The Japanese resolution was
interpreted as calling for
strengthening of the 135-man
observer group which the
Council assigned June IL to
insure against Intervention in
the Lebanese revolt by Col.
NasSer's United Arab Republic.
All the council members ex-
cept the Soviet Union voted for
it, and Mr.. Hammarskjold then
said he would enlarge the group
anyway.
Lodge Calls Move an Aid
United States Delegate Henry
Cabot Lodge told reporters he
thought Mr.. Hammarskjold's
announcement very helpful"
He added that the Secretary
Generals action could bring
about conditions under which
the United States. after con-
sulting Mr.. Hammarskjold and
Lebanon. would withdraw its
troops.
Sir Pierson Dixon of Britain
also said Mr.. Hammarskjold's
plan should help" He said
there had been little time yet
for Britain to talk with the
Secretary General on U. N.
protection for Jordan to replace
the 1000 British troops sent
there last Thursday.
