sible in the path Of the con-
ference.
One Of the things that wor-
ries the experts is the curious
and quite unusual pattern that
has developed in the last few
days of the conflict between
what the Russians say inside
the conference chamber and
what they say outside.
Order Reversed
The unusual feature is that
the normal order of things
seems to have been reversed.
In earlier conferences most Of
the hard talk was confined
strictly to the conference
chamber itself. In their public
statements the Russians tried
to give the impression that all
was going smoothly and that
reason and good fellowship
were bound to prevail in the
end.
At this stage quite the con-
trary is true. Diplomats who
attend the conference sessions
are surprised and alarmed to
learn what the Russians are
saying about these sessions in
their public briefings. And in
more than one case the pleas
ant glow which, Mr.. Gromyko
has managed to kindle among
his colleagues has been rudely
extinguished in the aftermath.

NEW YORK, May IA (AP).
President Eisenhower took q
silver shovel in hand today and
broke ground for a $75 mill
lion cultural center in mid
Manhattan. He predicted 1t
would provide a mighty inf1u-
ence for world peace and UNDER
standing.
AS he lent his hand--and
foot--to the official start Of
construction, Mr.. Eisenhower
ran into more of a digging job
than he had expected.
Scores of photographers on
hand kept asking for more
shoveling so they could take
additional pictures. Mr.. Eisef1-
hover wound UP by turning
four spadefuls.
A crowd estimated by police
at 10000, including 1000 oc-
cupying seats at the site and S.
900 standees damned in open
spots. gave the President a
warm reception as he arrived at
the scene just of Broadway on
West Sixty-fourth street.
Mr.. Eisenhower responded
with smiles and waves Of his
hand.
Home for Philharmonic
The ceremony took place at
the spot where a new home for
the New York Philharmonic
will rise. Among other struc-
lures in the Lincoln Center for
the Performing Arts will be a
new Metropolitan Opera House.

monies, President Eisenhower

said the center will enrich the

But he said it will do far
more than that,
It will, he said, make pos

which can be transmitted only
by individuals and not govern

fruits of national cultures.
Here will develop mighty
influence for peace and UNDER
standing throughout the world,
Mr.. Eisenhower said.
To his prepared text as he
spoke, the President added an
expression that attaining the

it has been always, the noblest
and most shining ideal which
man can strive and climb for. /"

Comdr. Spahr. 1t was just

was about 2:25 o'clock.
The huge bag was ripped by
the wreckage and its million
cubic feet of helium wooshed
out through its rent sides. The
gas is noninflammable and dis
persed without harm into the
fog.
Rescuers at first were unable
to locate several of the officers

long bag. They we're found in

The crew members in the
rear of the car were unhurt
and made their way down lad
ders to safety.
Comdr. Spahr said the land
ing was a ''rountine instrument

He said the blimp was about
two years old. It is made up
of the ssausage-shaped balloon
that holds the helium and the
gondola car that hangs below
it. The blimp's two motors are
attached to the gondola.

Uniting Berlin Urged
As First Geneva Step
West Offers
Package
To Russia
BY JOHN M. HIGHToWER
Associated Press stan Writer

GENEVA. May 1.-THE
Western powers proposed to
Russia today that divided Berlin
be made q united city under
Big -Four guarantees as the
first step in a sweeping package
plan to unity East and West
Germany and begin global dis
armament.
AS package the plan had no
prospects of even serious con-
sideration by Russia. Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko has
already rejected it as a ''tangle"
of unrelated issues. But parts
Of 1t, especially the Berlin pro-
posal. conceivably could lead
to some bargaining.
The massive. four-phase
Western program was intro
duced in the fourth session Of
the Big -Four foreign ministers
conference as the Western
response to Russia's demand
that West Berlin be made a
free city. 1t also countered
Premier Nikita Khrushchev's
call for a peace settlement
with divided Germany.
Could Choose Alliance
The proposals provide for
successive disarmament meas
ures. including initial limits Of
ga million men in the armed
forces of the United States
and Russia. and leading eVen-
tually to limitation and pos
sible withdrawal of all foreign
troops (Soviet and Western)
from Germany and neighbor-
ing areas.
1t would unity Germany in
80 months. United Germany
would be free to elect member
ship in either the Atlantic alli-
ance (NATO) or the Soviet
bloc's Warsaw pact or to choose
a neutral policy.
Whatever the choice, the big
powers, Germany and other
European countries would take
steps to avoid any change in
the East West balance of
power and could enter into
agreements against aggression.
Western leaders have long ex-
pressed confidence Germany
would line up with the West.

Housing Bill
Approved, "a,
COMMITTEE
House Debote Due
Tuesday; One Of ;
Sought by President
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
star stan writer

A s2.l billion Democratic
housing bill broke through a
House Rules Committee road
block today and was scheduled
to come up for House debate
on Tuesday.
The bill would provide the
authority for IS billion in Fed
eral mortgage insurance au-
thority urgently requested by
President Eisenhower in a spe-
cial message to Congress yester-
day, although other provisions
are unsatisfactory to the Presi-
dent. The President also called
for an increase in gasoline taxes
and modification of the farm
surplus program-on neither Of
which he appears likely to get
favorable action.
Long Deadlock Broken
Breaking a 6-6 deadlock that
stalled the housing oil TO- sew
eral weeks. the committee
voted, 8 to 4. today to send it
to the floor. 1t authorized a
procedure allowing four hours
of general debate and UNI
limited opportunity to amend
not only the Democratic bill
but also a Republican-hacked
substitute.
Committee Chairman Smith,
Democrat of Virginia. refused
to disclose how individuals
voted today. The four Repub-
licans repeatedly continued
their opposition to clearing the
bill, while Mr.. Smith and Rep
resentative Colmer. Democrat Of
Mississippi. who had sided with
the Republicans. apparently
reversed their stand.
The substitute version con-
tanned in a bill introduced today
by Representative HerlonR,
Democrat Of Florida, is in line
with Eisenhower administration
recommendations. 1t would cost
about SIS billion and make no
provision for public housing.
Calls for $4,000 Units
The $2.l billion bill intro
duced originally by Representa-
tive Rains, Democrat Of Ala
bama. and reported out by the
House Banking Committee all
most three months ago, would
authorize new public housing
lat the rate Of $4,000 units a
year for four years. 1t also
would make considerably larger
OUTLAWS than the administra-
ton requested last January for
urban renewal and slum clear
ance projects, college housing
and special dwellings for elderly
persons.
Both the original bill and
the substitute contain the pro-
vision Mr.. Eisenhower urged
yesterday. It would give the
Federal Housing Administra-
tons authority to insure an
additional Sc billion in home
mortgage loans.
OF the three legislative mat
tiers emphasized in the Presi-
dents message, housing seemed
the only one with a fairly good
chance Of congressional action
according to his wishes.

The House today approved q
962i. 900 compromise increase
in q District supplemental APP
preparation bill to meet city pay
costs for the remaining six
weeks Of the fiscal year.
City officials said the action
would not avert some worker
furloughs. But 1t substantially
reduced the extent Of the lay
offs, they said.
House Senate conferees
reached the compromise yes
terday after House spokesman
baked at an $835,000 figure
urged by the Senate.
The House conferees also
dealt the city a blow by refus-
ing to 60 along with a Senate
approved $8.1 million extra
Federal payment. The extra
Federal grant was left at IS
million as voted by the House
earlier. This will give the city
q SIS million deficit on June
80, officials said.
Less Than Expected
The deficit is less than ex-
pected earlier, however, because
of an upward revision in reve-
nue. estimates.
The supplemental appropria-
ton as cleared by the House
today, totals about $l4.6 mill
lion. The cuts in the higher
Senate-approved total were
spread over eight city depart
ments.
The Senate is expected to ac-
cept the House action.
The measure includes $l.8
million for the Health Depart
ment; 81 million for welfare.
SAL million for the school sys-
tenn and other stable allotments
for police, the fire department.

partment ond other city agen-
cies.
Health Item Trimmed
conferees trimmed $i27,225
from the Senate allotment for
the Health Department. but
Health Director Daniel L. Finu-
cane nevertheless expressed
gratification and said furloughs
might be unnecessary.
The department, because Of
the financial pinch, already has
notified it's 5000 workers Of ten
tative furlough plans starting
next week. These call for three
voorhees, days for all 5000 be-
fore July /. But DR.. Finucane
said furloughs, if still needed,
might be cut to a day apiece.
