Life Expectancy
Gain Reported
By Public Health
By the Associated Press

A child born in 1858 coulc
expect to live 691a years or
the average.
Announcing this estimate to-
day, the Public Health Service
said it compared with a life
expectancy of 69.3 years for
the infant born in 1857 and So
years for the child born in
1919.
But it was not as high as the
69.6 expectancy figured for
babies born in 1856 and 1854.
The Service said the general
increase in life expectancy at
birth during the 1888 dec
ade was interrupted by the in
f1uenza epidemic of 1888.
The estimated death rate for
1858 was put at 9.5 per 1000
population, slightly lower than
the 9.6 rate in 1857 and close
to the rate in the years 1949-
SO: The lowest death rate was
go in 1854.

FIJI Urges
Banks Curb
Robberies

A continuing increase ir
crimes against banking insti-
tutions prompted FBI Director
j. Edgar Hoover yesterday tc
urge maximum security meas
ures against burglary and rob-
berry.
Mr.. Hoover's six-page CON-
munication, addressed to all
United States banks and saw
ings and loan associations
stated:
I'm the past several months
there has been an alarming
increase in violations of the
Federal bank robbery and in
cidental crimes statute.
For example, there were 443
violations in the 1857 fiscal
year. 63l violations in the 1858
fiscal year, and a record total
of 764 violations in fiscal year
1859.
IN view Of this upsurge in
violations, I wanted to take this
opportunity to reiterate some
preventive measures for your
possible consideration. These
may help to strengthen the
defense of your institution
against these crimes"
The preventive measures rec
commended included regular
testing of alarm and safety de-
vices, careful observation of loi-
terers, and the varying of open
ing, closing and lunch-hour
routines.
Bank officials were urged to
verify the authority of work
men seeking access to their
premises, to keep a minimum
amount of cash in tellers' cages,
and to insure that vaults and
entrance ways are locked at
closing time.
Security devices recon-
mended by the FBI chief in
cluded silent alarm systems
connected to local police head
quarters or protection services,
bulletproof glass at all tellers'
windows, automatic photogra-
ply systems and tear gas in
stallations.

Union Chief
Leaves Flight
Engineers
By the Associated Press

George r. Petty, jr., an
nounced his resignation today
as president Of the 3,5O0-mem-
Der Flight Engineers Interna-
tional Association.
Mr.. Petty gave no reason
for quitting, but it was reli-
ably reported he made the
move in a dispute with other
union officials over the unions
alliance with the Teamsters
Union and a jurisdictional dis
pute with the Air Line Pilots
Association.
Mr.. Petty, 80, was one of the
Nations youngest national
union presidents. He is a grad
uate of Princeton, where he
majored in English. He form
erly worked for Curtis Wright
Corp. and was a licensed flight
engineer and mechanic for
three years with Pan American

president, assumed the preSi-
dency pending an election at
the unions convention next
spring.
The Flight Engineers were
to have appeared before the
AFL-CIO Executive Council at
Forest Park, Pa, next Tuesday
on charges brought by the
pilots union that the Engineers
are continuing a mutual aid
pact with the TeamsterS con-
trary to AFL-CIO policies.
This scheduled appearance
before AFL-CIO chiefs is I'M
derstood to have been called
off because of the internal con-
f1ict within the Engineers
group over whether to junk
the Transfers pact or quit the
AFL-CIO and become part of
the Teamsters.

extent Venezuelan President

Reason for Conference
Charges by the Dominican

ference to discuss the crisis in

Mr.. Castro has given open

last night there is a possibility
that Mr.. Castro, busy quashing

The Cuban Premier contends
that the root of Latin Ameri-

has called for a $50 billion de-

by international agencies.
The Cuban plan to divert

BY JAMES MARROW
Associated Press stan Writer

What's behind President FL
senhower's invitation to Pre-
mier Khrushchev to visit him
in the United States?
One thing is sure: This
meeting will delay a showdown
on Berlin where the Russian
has threatened to force allied
troops out Of the city.
But the following - except
for the background material
in parentheses - expresses the
Presidents views:
The diplomatic situation
couldn't get worse. There aren't
any more cards to play. Mr..
Eisenhower wants to get some
thing moving, although he
hopes no one will expect
miracles.
Only two roads to the future
are open:
/. Either you 60 along the
road Of the ornaments race by
which you defeat yourself or
end up with the cataclysm Of
war, or
2. You try the road of media
ton in the hope some way can
be found to solve problems.
Dulles Was Skeptical
The President and the late
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles had talked many times
about the idea of inviting the
Soviet leader to the United
States. They agreed 1t might
be done when 1t would serve a
useful purpose.
Mr.. Dulles, however, was con-
cerned about the effect on the
allies and other nations. Tim
ing was a key consideration.
Then last February British
Prime Minister Macmillan went
to Moscow to see Mr.. Khru-
Shchev. Mr.. Dulles thought this
took him and Mr.. Eisenhower
of the hook and they now could
invite Mr.. Khrushchev any time.
While it is difficult to look
upon a meeting between the
top men in governments-such
as Mr.. Eisenhower and Mr..
Khrushchev-as anything but
a summit meeting, Mr.. Eisen-
hover seems to consider it just
an informal get-together.
(He repeatedly has talked of
a summit meeting as one
which, in addition to himself
and Mr.. Khrushchev, would in
clude heads of the American
alIleS-brlCaln ana tTance.)
Very Modest Hopes
The President has very mod
est hopes for any concrete re-
suits from Mr.. Khrushchev's
visit here. He considers the
Russian woefully ignorant about
the United States. But Mr..
Eisenhower has four main OBJ
jectives in inviting him:
/. To get him to understand
more accurately what the
United States is.
At his news conference yes
terday, for instance, the Presi-
dent explained he would like to
take Mr.. Khrushchev on a
helicopter flight over Washing
ton to show him the thousands
