House Debate
On Stadium
Bill Halted

House debate on Washing
tons stadium legislation was
closed off today when Repre-
sentative Gross, Republican of
Iowa, resoretd to the rule book.
He objected the minute the
bill was called up by Repre-
sentative Aberenthy, Democrat
of Mississippi, a member of the
House District Committee.
Legislation would free the
Armory Board to contract with
the Interior Department for
access roads, parking areas and
water and sewer pipelines for
the 50,000-seat arena at a cost
of about SO million.
1t is the expenditure of So
million in Federal funds that
Mr.. Gross reSentS.
But today he objected to the
form in which the District
committee report onthe bill
was referred to the floor. 1t
failed to show how an amend
ment to the stadium act was
related to the original law, he
pointed out.
Committeeman, after a q@
huddle on the floor, agreed that
Mr.. Gross had a point and sent
the bill back to the committee.
If the letter of the rule is
followed, the stadium proposal
will have to be reconsidered
first by a subcommittee and
then by the full committee be-
fore the House can debate it.

The United States sent two

300 miles above the earth.
Baker died, after being recov-

American authorities know
of Col. Burdin's true identity.
The information in this article
did not come from official
sources, but its authenticity
has been verified.
The Stars informant knows,
for instance, that young VAL
erian (known as Vladimir)
Burdin joined the Soviet intel
ligence service in the early
1940s, when he was in his mid
20s. He then worked for the
First Directorate of the Min
istry of State Security, and
was assigned to the section
which dealt with North and
South America.
He was associated with
known Soviet spies like Gen.
Vasili Zubilin, whose true name
was zarubin. a principal in the
operation which took United
States atomic secrets to the
Soviet Union.
For a time, just after World
War II, Col. Burdin served in
the Soviet Embassy in Wash
ington as a low-ranking Sec
rotary. Despite his youth, he
already was engaged in high
level intelligence work.
When Soviet military and
civilian intelligence operations

Senators DirkSen and Bridges

some other Senate Republicans
are opposed to giving Mr..

they would not balk at Mr..

These agreements were de-

them by a resolution.

LONDON, July 10 (AP).-
The Soviet Union rocketed two
dogs into space July 10 and
brought them back to earth,
Moscow radio said today.
The broadcast said the dogs
were carried aloft in a ballistic
rocket weighing 1900 kilo-
grams (4,845 pounds.
Quoting an official Tass dis
patch, the radio said a guam
tity of equipment also was
parachuted back to earth.
The first announcement gave
no details of the height at

One of the dogs, Daring, was
making its fourth ascent into
space, TaSs said.
Daring, another dog named
Snowflake and a rabbit whose
name was later revealed as
Marfooshka little Martha)
were shot up in a 4.009-pound
rocket on July 2 and were re-
covered, the Russians an
nounced a week ago.
The TaSs announcement to-
day said the latest dog-carry-
ing rocket was the same type
as that of July 2 and was
launched at 4:12 am. July 10.

Steel Talks Resume
On Presidents Plea
Hope SCENT
For Pact to
Avert Strike

NEW YORK, July 10 (AP).-
Stalled steel negotiations got
under way again today at White
House bidding but with scant
prospect of an agreement to
avert strike at midnight to-
morrow.
The union promised to make
"an all-American try" at nego-
tiating a strike-Saving settle
ment.
r. Conrad Cooper, chief in
dustry negotiator, threw cold
water on settlement prospects
and showed irritation in posing
with Union President David j.
Mcdonald for photographers.
Mr.. Cooper said there was
only one possible way a strike
could be avoided-for the
union again to extend its con-
tract.
Union Won't Accept
Mr.. Mcdonald, however,
ruled out any further dealy in
a showdown. The union earlier
had granted a two-week truce
but it expires at midnight to-
morrow.
Mr.. Cooper said the union
already has caused the indus
, try injury by the fact that
many firms have had to close
down some facilities in the
costly preparation for an or
derby industry shutdown.
We're not the aggresSors in
the situation" Mr.. Cooper said.
Were not causing a strike"
President Eisenhower urged
both the union and the industry
to continue to work for a set
tlement" to avert a strike sched-
uled for tomorrow midnight.
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty had a hand
written statement ready when
newsmen asked him this morn
ing if the President was plan
ming any move in the steel
strike situation.
"On that I have this to say"
Mr.. Hagerty replied. Then he
read the following statement:
There is opportunity and
time for a settlement to be
reached before the strike dead
line set by the union.
I'm the interest of union
members, the steel companies
and the public, the President
hopes that the union and the
industry will continue to work
for settlement.
Before Mr.. Hagerty issued
the White House appeal for
continued efforts to avert a
strike, Mr.. Eisenhower con-
ferred with Secretary of Labor
Mitchell and Vice President
Nixon on the steel strike threat.
Mr.. Hagerty said Mr.. Nit
chell talked with the Presi-
dent for about 20 minutes. Mr..
Nixon went to the White House
later for a 45-minute confer
ence with the President in
which the steel situation was
one of several things discussed,
Mr.. Hagerty said.
He told questioners the Presi-
dent had not had any direct
communication with either
union or industry representa-
tiveS.
Mr.. Mcdonald, after receiv-
ing word of the White House
request, met briefly with his
union executive board.
He rushed out to a hotel cor
ridor telephone and, in the
sight of reporters and photog-
raphers, called Mr.. Cooper to

Social Security

Committee Hears
Secretary Attack
Forond Measure
BY CHARLES G. BROOKS
Star staff Writer

Secretary of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare Flemming to-
day attacked a bill which would
provide compulsory Federal
health insurance to all persons
eligible for social security
checks.
DR.. Flemming, the lead-otf
witness at hearings before the
House Ways and Means Com
mittee, said he was speaking
for the administration in solidly
opposing the controversial
measure, introduced for the
second time by Representative
Forand, Democrat of Rhode
Island. ...... ...
The bill, being strongly
pushed by the AFL-CIO. is I'M
der fire by the American Med
ical Association with equal in
tenSity. 1t would provide in
surance for the cost of hospital,
nursing home and surgical
services for all persons eligible
for social security aid.

DR.. Flemming charged the
enactment of the compulsory
hospital insurance law would
represent an irreversible deci-
sion to abondon voluntary in
Surance for the aged in the hos
pital field and would probably
mark the beginning Of the end
of voluntary health insurance
for the aged in the health field
generally"
Instead, he said, every pos
Sible effort should be made to
extend voluntary insurance
plans to a greater number of
the aged.
DR.. Flemming told the COM
mittee he has ordered his staff
to study other alternatives, in

ing persons to make voluntary
contributions over the years to
Government. The Government,
in turn, would purchase insur-
ance for them from non-profit
groups such as Blue Cross and
from insurance companies.
He promised to make a report
to the committee on the study
and said he recognizes, I'VE
must come to grips with the
problem Of providing adequate
hospital care for the aged"
FOrand'S Answer
This brought a sharp retort
from Mr.. Forand, who charged
the HEW with delays in reports.
II sincerely hope the report
will not also be so delayed we
won't get any place with it,"
the Representative declared.
For years we've had a lot of
talk but very little action" Mr..
Forand said. IF everybody had
been devoted to finding a solu-
ton rather than fighting the
bill I introduced two years ago,
we might have the solution"
Mr.. Forand declared he is
not welded to the bill" but

Assurances
ByGromyko
Hopes Progress
At Geneva Will
Warrant Summit
Warrant Summit
BY JOHN M. HIGHToWER
Associated Press stan Writer

noSOSAebco EApoo 9bah WNAbct
GENEVA, July l3.-United
States Secretary Of State Chris
tan A. Herter told the Soviet
Union today the United States
hopes for sufficient progress in
working out an East-West
agreement in the Big Four con-
ference here to warrant a sum-
NIT conference.
At the same time Mr.. Herter
challenged RusSia's Andrei A.
Gromyko to provide specific as
surances for the protection of
Western rights in West Berlin
during a Soviet-proposed mora
torium in the Berlin crisis.
The Big Four conference re-
sumed meetings at the Palace
Of Nations after a three-week
recess, with Mr.. Herter as
chairman for the day.
Secret Diplomacy Urged
Today's session was formal,
but Mr.. Herter proposed an i'm
mediate return to the kind of
secret diplomacy which domi-
mated the first six weeks of the
conference. He expressed belief
that offered the best hope for
making progress in ironing out
EaSt-West differences.
Although he expressed con-
viction that a satisfactory long
range solution to the problems
Of Germany and Berlin could
eventually be found if the dan
gers of continued division of
Germany were squarely faced,
Mr.. Herter concentrated most
of his talk today as the lead-of
Western spokesman on the
Berlin crisis.
He recalled that during the
first round of the conference
the West and the Soviet Union
had proposed plans for the flu
ture Of Berlin and each side
had rejected the others pro-
posal. He specifically cited Mr..
Gromyko's proposal of June 10
for a one-year standstill agree
ment on Berlin and recalled
that the time limit was later
extended by another Soviet
plan to Is months.
West Takes Initiative
The Big Four conference was
resumkd at 1888 pm. (9:33 am.
EST after a three-week recess.
Western strategy, agreed upon
this morning, was to take the
initiative an dseek a quick dec
laration from the Russians on
the Berlin problem.
In a reversal of their earlier
stand. Mr.. Herter and his Brit
ish and French colleagues were
reported ready to negotiate with
Mr.. Gromyko on the Russians
offer of a Berlin standstill
agreement.
But they want the proposed
moratorium to run for at least
80 months, instead of the 10
months offered by Mr.. Gro
myko, and they want a pledge
of Soviet respect for Western
rights in Berlin.
Strategy Decided
Western strategy was decided
upon when British Foreign
Secretary Selwyn Lloyd, For
eign Minister Maurice Couve de
Murville Of France and West
Germany'S Heinrich Won Bren-
tano met with Mr.. Herter in
his headquarters here three
hours before the resumption of
sessions with Mr.. Gromyko at
the Palace of Nations.
Some signs of trouble ap-
peared in the Western camp
over the determination to try
to negotiate with Mr.. Gromyko
