He nevertheless suggested
that Congress legislate a cool

years. In that period former

Admiral Carney testified that

Admiral Robert B. Carney,
reporting an income of more
than 100000 a year since re-
firing as Chief of Naval Oper-
atoms in 1855, today said en-
ployment of former military
officers in private industry is
necessary to prevent defense
contractors from going down
blind alleys"
Admiral Carney told the
House Armed Services Inves-
legations Subcommittee that
during his Navy service he
never experienced attempted
pressure or inf1uence-peddling
attempts by former officers
hired by companies doing busi-
ness with the Defense Depart
ment.
He also said that his present
employment as board chair
man, director or consultant
for three large defense manu-
featuring companies does not
involve any selling or similar
contacts with the Pentagon.
Difficult Action
Il believe it is almost a phys
ical impossibility for a retired
officer to exert such influence. u

Due in Court,

A Vienna CVa.) man, due to

shot and killed himself today,
a half-block from his home,
police said.
Corpl. Lawrence Hensley of
the Vienna town police, said
the death of William w.
Wright, Sc, a plumber, had
been ruled a suicide.
MI. Wright shot himself
above the right ear with a .22-
caliber pistol in his automo-
bile halted at a stop sign. DR..
Angel Salazar, Fairfax County

death occurred about 8 am.
Corpl. Hensley said a note
left by Mr.. Wright indicated
domestic difficulties. He was
married and had two children,
the policeman added.
The Office of the Domestic
Relations Court confirmed that
Mr.. Wright was due to appear
there at 9 am. No details
were given, however.

ESQ STANDARD
Gasoline Price
Raised 1.5Cents

The ESQ Standard Oil Co.
today raised the price of gaso-
line to its Washington area re-
tailerS by cent a gallon and
other companies are expected
to follow suit.
Horace Walker. a spokesman
of the Retail Gasoline Dealers
Association, Inc, said the re-
tailerS may have to increase
the price to motorists by as
much as l1a cents.
Mr.. Walker said the average
price per gallon here for
straight gas is 30.4 cents. He
declared the retail price might
rise to 31.5 or 32.5 cents as a
result of the increase. Similar
increases probably will be made
on higher octane gasoline. Mr..
Walker said the increase prob
ably would affect the entire
Eastern Seaboard.
The retailers spokesman said
he was unable to account for
the increase from the suppliers.

Douglas Mckay, 66, long

heart ailment.
He had suffered from a
heart ailment for months. On

in a coma the last "a hours.

Mr.. Mckay helped to formu-

and the Federal Government
multi-purpose dams. This was
a subject of heated controversy
in the Pacific Northwest and
was one of the issues in the
1856 Senatorial election which
he lost.
Wrapped up in it was Mr..
McKay'S championship of Ida
no Power Co.'S plan for three
dams in the Hells Canyon
reach of the Snake River and
his opposition to Federal high
dam. It brought charges from
political foes of "giveaWay" of
natural resources, a charge

Ministers Meet
With Gromyko
West Demands
Easing Of Terms
BY JOHN NJ. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press STAFF Writer

GENEVA, July 22.-Foreign
ministers of the United States,
Britain and France, met with
Russia's Andrea A. Gromyko
today to find out whether he
is willing to meet demands for
a lower price for a Berlin truce.
Mr.. Gromyko had indicated
to the West before the latest
session of the Big Four confer
ence opened that he planned
to make a long speech. 1t could
decide the fate of the Big -Four
conference.
Secretary of State Christian
A. Herter, British Foreign Sec
rotary Selwyn Lloyd and
Foreign Minister Maurice Cou-
We de Murville of France held
a brief strategy meeting at
the Palace of Nations before
going into the session with Mr..
Gromyko.
Mr.. Lyold and Mrs. Couve
de Murville had just returned
here from Paris. Mr.. Lloyd
reported to the 15-nation
North Atlantic Council there
this morning that the future
of the Geneva conference
hinged on Soviet reaction to
Western proposals on Berlin.
Soviet refusal to consider
Western ideas, he was reported
to have said, would mean that
the West might call off the
meeting.
Mr.. Couve de Murville at
tended a meeting of President
Charles de Gaulle'S cabinet.
Might Back Down
Some Communist informantS
limited that the Soviet Foreign
Minister might back down
slightly from his insistence
that the West grant Commu-
mist East Germany equality
with West Germany by Gre
ating an alderman commit
tee to negotiate on unif1cation.
Alternatively he might try to
stave off a final showdown by
suggesting some new approach
to the whole problem and call
ing for a further study of the
possibilities of a compromise.
Top Western officials said
they had no indication that
any Soviet concession was in
the making. In a Commute
secret talk yesterday with the
three Western foreign minis
tiers, Mr.. Gromyko refused to
bulge from the Soviet insist
ence on giving the East Ger
mans equal status with the
West Germans.
GrOmykO Pressed
Mr.. Herter, Mr.. Lloyd and
Mr.. Couve de Murville pressed
Mr.. Gromyko repeatedly to dis

Maxwell ToyIorHired
BvMexico Power Firm

Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor,
former Army Chief of Staff
who retired June 80 after 81
years in the military service,
will become board chairman of
the Mexico Light and Power
Co. in Mexico City.
The company announced he
has been appointed to succeed
William H. Draper. jr.
Mr.. Draper, a New York in
|vestment banker, has headed a
special commission to study
the foreign aid program at the
'equest of President EiSen-
mower last November. He is a
former Assistant Secretary of

Mr.. Draper has been execu-
tive officer and board chairman
of the Mexican company since
1854 and maintains a residence
in Mexico City. He will remain
as a board member, the COM
.pany announced.
Gen. Taylor, who retired
from the Army at the age of
.57, has often visited Mexico
and is a talented linguist. He
was succeeded as Army Chief
of Staff by Gen. Lyman Lem
nitzer.
In a valedictory speech at
the National Press Club last
month Gen. Taylor gave this
reason for retiring:
For four years I have tried
to modernize the Army but
have had only limited success.
So I decided to Withdraw one
obsolescent general from the

and similar matters, Mr.. Ell

of this kind already are avail

The President did not elabo-

things, the Secretary is expect
ed to investigate the strikes

defense production. In case of
national emergency, the Presi-

Under the law establishing
the Labor Department, Mr.. Eli

must conduct investigations of
major labor disputes. Mr..
Mitchell has been trying to find
out the facts on the steel strike,
the President said, and will
continue to do so with the help
of other Federal officials.
Settlement Pressure
Mr.. Mitchell announced
establishment of fact-flnding
machinery late yesterday. The
move was seen as an increase
in pressure for settlement of
the steel strike.
The Secretary said he will
explore all the circumstances
surrounding the present steel
dispute (and) will keep the
President advised periodically
as to the facts"
Any action the President may
take to halt the strike will be
