against this background:
In 1857, there were 1882

births. OF these, 345 were
white. or one of each 20 births

Meticulous, round-the-clock

At the address. they talked
with a porter who said he had
jotted down the address for a

asked him about a job at the

The porter identified q police

titled by one of Mrs. Jorale-

Senator Cannon. Democrat Of
Nevada, suggested today that
the Senate investigate lobby
ling tactics he charged have
been carried on by the White
House to get votes in favor
of Lewis L. Strauss for Sec
retary Of Commerce.
IT myself have been lobbied
by respected and eminent citi-
zens in my State who normally
would have no direct interest
in this case" said Senator Can
non, in q speech prepared for
delivery this afternoon.
Sees Pressure"
But my inquiries have led
me to believe that pressures
have been placed on these men
from the Executive Branch. /
would not disclose the names
of these men because am sure
that it would needlessly en-
barrass them. and because they
are honorable men who did only
what they were compelled to
do because of outside inter-
ference emanating from the
Executive.
II wonder how many Of my
colleagues in this chamber have
Experienced the same sort of

of us here have been given di-
Irect or indirect ultimatums that
they must vote for Mr.. Strauss.
If my suspicious are correct, !
believe that it would not be
amiSs TO have an investigation
of the lobbying tactics used
here-perhaps to discover why
the confirmation Of Mr.. Strauss
is so important TO certain
special interests"
Urges Rejection
Senator Cannon urged the
Senate to refuse to confirm Mr..
Strauss. He based his position
on several grounds. including a
belief that the nominee had a
dismal record in the develop
ment Of atomic power for

The Nevada Democrat also
repeated the charge by other
Democrats that Mr.. Strauss
was "evasive" and at times de
ceitful" in the hearings on his
nomination.
Senator Monroney. Demo-
crat Of Oklahoma, also spoke
against Mr.. Strauss today,
accusing him Of having failed
to tell the Commerce Com
mittee the whole story of the

Department to prohibit export

Gromyko Raps West
For Summit Terms
Blasts Link
ToGenevu
Progress
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press stan Writer

GENEVA, June 12.-Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei A.
Gromyko opened a drive in the
Big Four conference today to
break the Western-made link
between the present meeting Of
foreign ministers and q later
summit conference.
Mr.. Gromyko's attack could
foreShadow a final refusal by
the Soviet Union to yield on its
West Berlin demands, even
under heavy Western pressure.
He told foreign ministers Of
the United States, Britain and
France that their insistence on
a link between the present con-
ference and a summit parley Is
artificial and altogether in
valid"
In effect. Mr.. Gromyko
argued that even though there
was a failure here to ease the
Berlin tension and make
progress toward East West
agreement. there should be q
summit meeting anyway. Presi.
dent Eisenhower has said he
would not attend a heads Of
government meeting under
such conditions, and at the mo-
ment that is basic Western
policy.
End Of Threats Demanded
The Western powers de-
lmanded that Moscow stop
threatening them with a sep
arate East German peace treaty
and get back to negotiations
for ending the West Berlin
crisis.
At the outset Mr.. Gromyko
displayed readiness to soften
the bite but not to pull the
teeth of the Soviet campaign
to force United States, British
and French garrisons out Of
the divided city.
He assured Secretary of State
Christian A. Herter and his
Western colleagues that the
Soviet proposal for a one-year
deadline on the Western oc-
cupation Of West Berlin is not
an ultimatum. He said he cam
not understand what all the ex.
citement is about. He urged
the Westerners to stop using
the terms ultimatum and
dlktat.
New Soviet Attack
But he coupled this defen-
Isive presentation with the fresh
attack.
Assistant Secretary Of State
Andrew H. Berding, brieflng
newSmen after the three-hour
meeting at the Palace Of Ma
tions, said the conference had
gone backward.
He said Mr.. Gromyko's dis
avowal of intention to give an
ultimatum meant that the i'm
plication of a threat had been
removed. This. he said. made
it possible to have further
meetings. "but not or the basis
of the Soviet proposal"
AS to the question of a sum-
NIT meeting. Mr.. Berding said
nothing had happened since
Mr.. Eisenhower told a news
conference nine days ago that
he found no progress at Geneva
to justify the meeting.
you can even say the con-
ference has gone backward"
Mr.. Berding said. Since the
Soviet proposal Of Tuesday and
Wednesday (the Berlin one
year deadline plan). there is
less likelihood than before"

extraordinary significance to
