during the State Department
meeting.
At his news conference be-
fore the meeting, the President
said he still believes that some
progress and some promise OF
success must be produced by
the East-West Foreign Min
listers before he will attend a
summit conference.
He said he had enjoyed his
entirely personal, not political
visit with Deputy Premier
Kozlov at the Soviet exposition
in New York yesterday.
The Soviet leader, regarded
by many as a likely successor
to Soviet Premier Khrushchev,
showed me with interest and
I think juStif1able pride" the
many items of Soviet achieve
ment displayed at the fair, the
President said.
Enjoyed Visit
He said he thought the ex-
position would attract the eye
and interest of anyone.
In most personal visits with
representatives of the Soviet
government, the President said,
one finds he has a rather
pleasant personal experience.
The Soviet officials are out
going, they like to have fun
they like to have a joke-they
see the humor in things, the
President said.
Mr.. Eisenhower indicated he
intended to stand firm on the
basic points outlined by Secre-
tary Herter in his report to
the Nation last week.
In his discussions with Mr.
Kozlov, the President implied
he would make it clear the
United States cannot retreat
from its position that no sum-
nit negotiations can be hello
while Western forces in Berlin
are under threat from the So
Wet Union.
Aside from basic principles
like these, Mr.. Eisenhower said
the United States has tried tC
be flexible and still hopes fol
fruitful negotiations.
Defends Nixon Trip
The President decried sug-
gestions that Vice President
Nixon's trip to Moscow late
this month to open the United
States fair there was a move to
build up the Vice President as
a presidential candidate.
''Mr. Nixon happens to be the
Vice President of the United
States" Mr.. Eisenhower said

Eisenhower Predicts
go Fight on Initiation
Spending
Bills Still
Alarm Him
BY GARRETT ID. HORNER
Star stan Writer


President Eisenhower said
today he thinks imitation GER
tainly will be a main issue In
the 1860 presidential election
campaign.
He told a news conference
that he still has great con-
Germ" about some spending pro-
posals pending in Congress
even though the Democratic
congressional leadership has
cut back some programs.
The President emphasized
that a balanced budget should
be the Governments minimum
objective. He said he expects
a surplus in the new fiscal
year starting today to enable
the Government to start pay.
ing of some of its debts.
Won't Indicate Choice
Mr.. Eisenhower proclaimed
for himself a hands-off policy
in selection of the Republican
presidential candidate.
Asked if he would be COM
pletely neutral, the President
said he thought it would be too
much to expect any mans
sentiments to be completely
neutral.
But he added that he GER
tainly never would indicate to
anyone publicly or privately
any preference for a particular
G. o. P. nominee. He added
that he did not think it would
be right for him to do so.
Mr.. Eisenhower reiterated
that he thinks the Republican
Party has brought forth a group
of capable men. any one Of
whom could be selected as a
presidential candidate with
honor to himself and the party.
Denies Favoring Nixon
He denied any effort to build
up Vice President Nixon over
New York Gov. Nelson Rookie
Teller as a possible Republican
nominee by selecting Mr.. Nixon
to go to Moscow this ~ nth to
open an American exhibition
there.
Mr.. Eisenhower pointed out
Mr.. Nixon is Vice President Of
the United States and that, he
said, makes him the logical
choice as the high official as
signed to open the American
exhibition.
In discussing his hopes for a
balanced budget, the President
said Congress action in setting
the permanent national debt
limit at $285 billion while max
ing 1926 billion a temporary
ceiling shows that Congress ex-
poets the Government to begin
paying off some of the huge
obligation.
He recalled that he had tried
to make an issue of the danger
| of initiation in the 1858 con-
gressional elections, warning re-
peatedly that the Government

US. EmpIOye
Insurance Bill
Gains in Senate
Measure Splits
Medical Coveruqe
Premium $3.50

The Senate Civil Service
Committee today approved
health insurance legislation for
rs million Government en-
ployes and their families.
The vote was unanimous. al
though Senator Carlson, Re-
publican of Kansas, the groups
ranking minority member, re-
ceived permission to file q
separate report on the bill.
Under the bills provisions,
the program would go into ef-
feet on July l, 1860.
Premiums Listed
Both basic and so-called
Catastrophe" types of health
insurance would be provided for
Government workers and their
families.
The Government and its en-
ployes would split the cost Of
the premiums on a $3.50 basis.
Single employees would pay a
premium of SITS per biweekly
pay period, while married en-
ployes would pay $4.25 BIZ
weekly.
The estimated cost of the
bill to the Government would
be SIS Omillion a year. The bill
essentially is the same one that
was approved several weeks
ago by the Senate Civil Service
subcommittee headed by Sena-
tor Neuberger, Democrat of
Oregon.
Chairman Johnston joined
Senator Neuberger today in ex-
pressing the hope that Con-
gress can complete action on
the bill this year.
House Version Pending
Similar legislation is still
pending in the House. Chair
man Murray of the House civil
service group has stated his in
tention to wait upon Senate
action before scheduling hear
ings by~his committee.
The administration has in
dorsed the principle of health
insurance legislation but wants
the cost to the Government
trimmed to about 500 million.
Also, the administration
wants Government employees to
pay two-thirds of the cost of
the premiums and the Govern
ment one-third. instead of the
$3.50 arrangement.

downtown values and to reju-

Businessmen of the city, who
were told they all have a stake

The downtown rehabilitation
effort was urged by a joint
committee representing the
Federal City Council and the
National Capital Plannin g
Commission, which already has
spent a year and half prepar-
ing for the ambitious campaign.
Robert H. Levi, president of
the Hecht Co. and chairman OF
the joint committee, warned
that downtown Washington al

areas, and faces a prospect OF
sliding values in others.

nav Merger
With virginian
Set for Dec. |
By the Associated Press

The newly-approved merger
of the Norfolk g. Western and
Virginian railroads-the first
such approval by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in mod
ern times-will probably be-
come effective December /.
Merger of the two soft coal
carrying systems was approved
yesterday. The action was
hailed Immediately by Stuart
T. Saunders, president of the
N&W, who fixed the tentative
effective date.
The new line will be a 2,746-
mile system operating in six
States-Virginia. West Virginia,
Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland and
North Carolina. 1t will have
total assets of $970,354, 956 and
rank as the Nations largest
coal carrier.
Mr.. Saunders hailed the APP
proval as "a landmark decision
which signals a new day in the
progress and industrial devel-
opment Of the territory Of the
two railroads.
Although his optimism was
shared generally by local au-
thorities In the key coal pro-
ducing areas, some misgivings
were heard.
R. T. Bowden, legislative rep
resentative of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen, said in
Bluefield, w. Va. that he feels
IS to 40 per cent Of the en-
ployes Of both lines will lose
their jobs.
Mr.. Saunders said the de-
cision reflects the commissions
far-sighted viewpoint in at
tempting to solve one of the
major problems confronting the
railroad industry - duplication
Of services. The two lines vir-
tually parallel each other for
$50 miles between the West
Virginia Virginia boundary and
Norfolk, Va.
The commission mentioned
the plight of the railroads in its
merger opinion. 1t said rail-
roads no longer enjoy the mo-
nopoly status Of the 10Th and
early goth centuries.
while railroad traffic and
earnings have increased during

ment in business conditions"
the ICC said, 1.-The position of
the railroads had deteriorated
steadily in recent years with the
