No Solution
Calm Note Spurns
Eisenhower PIeu
On Limited Bon

MOSCOW. April Is (AP) -
Premier Nikita KhrushcheV
says President Eisenhower'S
plan to halt nuclear tests al
attitudes up to 80 miles will
not solve the problem" People
would be justified in regarding
such a ban. alone, IAN unfair
DEAL" he added.
Without using words fatty
rejecting Mr.. Eisenhower's pro-
posal of April 10. the Premier
said the Soviet Union woulc
be satisfied only with an agree
ment to ban nuclear tests any
where.
In fact, he said he thought
"it is quite possible to find
such a solution to the problem
OF ending tests. on the basis Of
your proposals and ours. a:
would meet the interests of the
nuclear nations as well as those
of all other countries"
Macmillan Idea Considered
Mr.. Khrushchev's letter re-
plying to Mr.. Eisenhower was
handed to the State Depart
ment yesterday and made pub
lie today by the official Tass
news agency. A similar message
was sent to Prime Minister
Macmillan of Britain, who sup
ported Mr.. Eisenhower's stand
"a Moscow radio broad
cast heard in London quoted
Tass as saying the Kru-
shchev message to Mr.. Mac
milan covered much the
same ground as the one to
Mr.. Eisenhower. 1t added,
however, that Mr.. Krushchev
was taking a positive at
titude" toward some Macmil-
Ian ideas on ending the dead
lock over on-the-spot nuclear
test ban inspection. 1t said
Mr.. Macmillan S u b m lifted
these ideas during his recent
visit to Moscow.
("Macmillan's proposal for
determining in advance for
each country the number OF
annual trips by inspection
teams to the site might
provide a sound foundation
for success in solving the
problem of stopping the tests
of atomic and hydrogen
weapons" the message was
quoted as saying.
Confidence Expressed
ut added that Mr.. Kru-
shchev expressed confidence
that Mr.. Macmillan would
instruct the British repre-
Sentatives at the Geneva
nuclear test ban conference
to exert necessary efforts for
a solution along the lines of
the considerations set forth
by the Prime Minister when
he was in Moscow
The President proposed to
get the Geneva negotiations or
a test ban going again by agree
ing first to halt all nucleaI
explosions under water, on the
earth'S surface and in the all
up to 80 miles. These are the
tests that are easiest to detect

Under this Western plan

would be left for later negotia-

Mr.. Khrushchev said he was
GLAD to note that the Presi-
dent in his letter "also holds

not be allowed to fail" The
Soviet Premier's entire letter
was moderate in tone.

rs (AP).-The FBI directed q
massive two-state search to-
night for a band Of men who
seized an accused Negro rapist
from his unguarded Jail cell
here early today.
The raiders left no trace and
there was little hope Of finding
Mack Charles Parker, 23-year-
old truck driver. He was ac-
cuSed of having raped a young
white mother, who was expect

year.
The search, concentrated at
first in this Southern Missis-
sippi area, later spread to
Southeastern Louisiana.
Fellow Negro prisoners, still
nervous from the brutal raid,
described the scene.

A raider shouted at the
beaten, bloody victim, why
did you do it?"
II didn't do it," screamed
Parker.
In minutes, Parker began
saving other people did it and
naming them. Then he pointed
to one of his fellow prisoners.
HE did it." he said.
The raiders dragged Parker
from the building by his heels,
his head humping from steel
tread to steel tread Of the
stairs. Blood fiicked about
marked progress of the party,
a bloody handprint on the door
step giving the last trace Of
Parker, who screamed and
struggled as the getaway cars
sped away.
Parker was charged with
raping a 24-year-old white
woman from Petal, Miss, in
adjoining Forrest County, in
the presence of her 5-year-old
daughter last February. His
trial was to have started Mon
day.
FBI Agents Arrive
Sheriff w. o. Moody Of Pearl
River County said he believed
the vigilantes had either had
taken Parker from the area or
dumped him in some water.
FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover
quickly ordered a special team
of agents into Poplarville. Two
