GENEVA, May 1.-THE So
Wet Union today demanded
that two Of her Communist
satellites-Poland and Czecho-
sloyakia-be invited to join the
Big -Four foreign ministers
conference.
The Soviet demand had been
expected and the Western for
eign ministers were ready for
another wrangle with Russia's
Andrei Gromyko as the delega-
tons took their places for to-
days session.
Secretary of State Christian
A. Herter, British Foreign Sec
rotary Selwyn Lloyd and
French Foreign Minister Maui
rice Couve de Murville were
reported firmly agreed to reject
the Soviet demand.
A Russian spokesman said
Mr.. Gromyko had suggested in
formally to the Western min
listers that the Communist side
be enlarged but they did not
display a positive attitude
Formal Demand Due
The spokesman said Mr..
Gromyko therefore would sub
NIT his demand formally at
the conferences second session
today.
Mr.. Gromyko is the confer
ence chairman for the day.
The session originally had been
scheduled to hear opening
statements of policy from the
four ministers. But it appeared
that once more the conference
would be beset by contro-
versy over procedure.
In announcing the move to
seat Poland and Czechoslo-
vakia, Soviet Press Oficer Mi
khail Kharlamov said the So
Wet delegation proposes the
full and equal participation Of
both delegations in the con-
ference"
A solid allied front yesterday

terday's agreement was reached
not spontaneously but after an
argument which delayed the
opening Of the conference and
at times grew rather heated.
In fact, this argument was
created entirely by the Rus
slams at the last minute and
resolved on their own decision
with the same abruptness. But
this does not in any way dimin-
ish the Importance Of the exer-
else in their view.
The fact is encouraging,
says Mr.. Kharlamov, because
it shows that there is the will
ingness to overcome difficulties
that are inevitable in any con-
ference of this sort"

Something Of the same opti-
mistic reading is to be found
on the Western side. The Brit

see it as a fine example OF

Building Jobs
Tied Up as1
Unions Strike
Loborers Council
And Engineers
Reject Poy Offers

A tight shutdown OF major.
building construction began
today with an area-wIde strike
by two unions. the Operating
Engineers and Laborers Dis
trict Council.
Both groups broke OF nego-
tiations In the early morning
hours with the Construction
Contractors Council and an
nounced that a strike was
under way.
Millions Of dollars worth Of
building was affected with the
expectation that an almost
total stoppage would result in
ali but residential construction.
Both unions were still far
apart with the contractors on
wage demands when negotia-
tions were broken of, subject
TO recall by either party.
500 Engineers Involved
The Operating Engineers,
who handle all power equip
ment such as cranes, bulldozers
and lifts, are indispensable to
the building trade. About 500
members Of Local n were in
volved in the strike.
Some of the major projects
hit were the new State Depart
~ment Building, new House
Office Building, the Central
Intelligence Agency headquar-
ters at Langley, and the Wood
row Wilson Memorial Bridge.
About 5000 laborers also were
involved, and had struck more
than 100 building jobs. Leroy
Coad, local president, said no
picket lines would be used II
other craft unions did not try
to work.
Mr.. Coad said about half a
dozen contractors had agreed
to terms demanded by the
union. and work was continuing
on those projects.
Robert A. Meyer. chairman
Of the Contractors Council
Policy Committee, said it APP
peared the laborers had re-
NAMED of most jobs.
Lockout Expected
1t was certain they would not
be working anywhere regardless
of any strategy to strike some
firms and attempt to bargain
with others. The contractors
recently signed almost 100 per
cent a pact to lockout the
workers Of any union striking
another member of the council.
Mr.. Meyer estimated the
shutdown was 90 per cent eff
fective and that at least $3.50
million worth of construction
was tied up.
The operating engineers ne
gotiated until 1880 am. before
the meeting broke of.
Wages Prime Issue
At the time the contractors
were offering wage increases of
10 cents an hour now and 10
cents more next year. The
engineers were demanding in
creases OF 10 cents an hour
now and three more Decent
increases at the end of the next

Must Take
New Interest

ROME, Radio, NC)-Bishop
Andrew G. Grutka of Gary,
Ind, told a luncheon Of the
American Club of Rome that
Americas steelworkers have
to take more interest in local
union affairs.
The Bishop was in Rome
for the Tooth anniversary of
the North American College.
Speaking at the club luncheon
he cited one union local in
Gary as an example Of the in
difference among the majority
of steelworkers to the leader
ship and control of their
union. He said that the Gary
local had 10000 members but
that only 300 showed up when
an emergency meeting was
called.
The result is, he said, that
q very few run the union
local. He added that union
members have to be more
alive and take a greater inter-
est in the operation of their
locals.
Bishop Grutka said that IS
per cent of the s~teelworkers
in Gary were not in favor of
the strike. 1t was reported
later that the Bishop said that
95 per cent OF the nations
steelworkers were against the
strike. However, when the
Bishop was questioned about
this he replied: Il simply said
all | know is that the steel
workers in my town were not
for the strike. I should say
about 95 per cent of them
were against 1t, but / do not
know about steelworkers in
other places"

Fight Smut
On All Levels

WASHINGTON, A
Congressional committee
has outlined a sweeping
six point program for
dealing with the problem
of obscene literature at
the Federal, state and local
levels.
"The youth Of our land are
being bombarded from all
sides with a loose portrayal
of sex that serves to weaken
the moral fiber Of the future
leaders of our nation" the
House Postal Operations Sub
committee declared in making
its recommendation.
In an interim report" issu-
ed after a series of hearings
earlier this year, the subcom-
mittee said it believes that
"there is a direct connection
between recent increases in
juvenile misbehavior and the
reading of sordid literature"
The ~ubcommittee's six
point program for action rec
commended:
u That community leaders
set up public information and
legislative programs in their
communities to alert citizens
to the. problem and to encour-
age law enforcement officials
to take action against obsce-
nifty.
q That national organiza.
fions urge their local chap
fers TO take action against OBJ
ieefinabIe literature.
- That state governments
consider adopting more uni
form anti-obscenity law, and
set up state legislative COM
missions to study the prob
lem.
~ Thar local government
adopt "more effective ordin-
anees" against obseenify.
s. That the various bram-
hes of the publications and
movie industries" set up self
policing measures to elimin-
ate smut from the mass med
la.
s. That the Post Office De-
partment continue to advise
Congress on legislative action
needed to render its anti
