Senator Scott, Republican OF

Engle why the proposal was

Senator Engle replied that

he vetoes the bill the Demo-

make no move to override a
veto or to pass another bill be-

Defeat of several Republican
amendments as we'll as the size
of the passage vote showed also
that the Republican-Southern
Democratic coalition was less
in evidence than on several
other major measures this year.
A Mississippi Democrat, Rep
reSentative Colmer, offered an
amendment to strike out the
bills authorization for $1,000
additional public housing units.
This was beaten, 180-134. The
bill vetoed last month carried
authorization for $4,000 addi-
tional units. Mr.. Eisenhower
had recommended none.
The amendments presented
by Republicans were disposed
of as follows:

attempt to extend to October

years the use of $3.50 million
and another 500 million dis

Several newspapers in recent

There also have been reports

MoIik Makes Surprise
Call on British Leader

LONDON, Aug. % (AP).-
Secretary of State Christian A.
Herter and Foreign Secretary
Selwyn Lloyd today began a
survey of EaSt-West relations
ranging over the Berlin crisis,
disarmament and a nuclear
weapon test ban.
After the two foreign minis
tiers opened their discussions
in preparation for President
Eisenhower's weekend confer
ences with Prime Minister
Macmillan, Soviet Ambassador
Jakob A. Malik arranged a sur
prise meeting with Mr.. Lloyd.
The purpose of Mr.. Malik's
call on Mr.. Lloyd was noto i'm
mediately known.
But its Importance appeared
to have been underlined by the
fact that it was sandwiched
between two sessions of Mr..
Herter's exchanges with Mr..
Lloyd.
Aides Meet Newsmen
While Mr.. Herter and Mr..
Lloyd still were talking, spokes-
men for the United States and
British Governments met news
men. They were Presidential
Press Secretary James c. Hag-
erty, Assistant Secretary of
State Andrew H. Berding, Har-
old Evans, Prime Minister
Macmillan's public relations
adviser, and the Foreign
Offices chief spokesman, Peter
Hope.
Mr.. Hope said the American
British talks began with the
problems of disarmament and
developments since the recent
Geneva foreign ministers con-
ference on Germony.
1t was understood that Mr..
Herter and Mr.. Lloyd took &C
count of the personal letters
on Berlin sent last week by
Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khru-
shchev to West German Chan
cellor Konrad Adenauer, Mr..
Macmillan and ceporteGly to
French President Charles de
Gaulle.
Briefs Being Prepared
Mr.. Herter and Mr.. Llyod
were preparing briefs for Mr..
Eisenhower and Mr.. Macmillan,
who will seek a common posi-
ton on proposals for a Berlin
settlement.
One major question is

TO the New Delhi government.
1t is the area through which
the Dalai Lama entered India
after his escape from the Chi
nese Communists who put down
the uprising in Tibet.
The area is plagued by Maya
tribeSmen who have long waged
a sporadic war for independ-
ence against Indian authorities.
The area has been defended by
Assam Rifles, a semimilitary Or
ganization with Indian army
officers in charge.
Troubles in the Kameng bor-
der section apparently began in
June. a little more than a
month after, the Dalai Lama
fed to India.

cused Indian troops Of crossing

India denied the charge and
expressed surprise that the Chi
nese should believe such re-
ports.
Reds Building Road
Mr.. Nehru said that the re-
connaisance party which the
Communists seized in the La
dakh area had been sent to
check reports that the Chinese
are building a road from Gar
tok, Western Tibet, to Chinese
Turkestan, cutting across a
corner of Indian territory.
One questioner demanded to
know what the government
planned to do since the road
presumably is still tE-.e and
apparently the Chinese are still
on Indian territory.
Mr.. Nehru hedged. He said
that if anybody crosses the In
dian border, they represent a
challenge to the Indian govern
ment. But he declined to say
specifically what action will be
taken.
The Premier did not say how
much of Ladakh is occupied by
the Chinese. He emphasized
that the disputed area is remote
and not normally inhabited. 1t
takes weeks of marching to
reach.

The way appeared all but

next week Of a l-cent increase
in the Federal gasoline tax to
keep the interstate highway
program going.
Rebellious Democrats on the
House Public Works Committee
yesterday dropped their opposi-
ton to legislation increasing
the gas tax from 3 to 4 cents O

This would bolster construction

barring further complications
they would call the bill to the

"All circumstantial evidence

Earlier in the session Mr..
Nehru said the Chinese were
forcibly holding Indian terri
tory in the Ladakh sector of
Kashmir, on the northwest bor-
der between India and Tibet.
He said the Chinese had estab-
lished camp at Spanggur, well
within Indian territory, and
had arrested a reconnaissance
party which had been sent to
investigate.

There was no indication in
