Herter Leaves
For New Talks
Al Geneva
Will Stop Briefly
In Cunudu for Chat
With Diefenbuker
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of State Herter
took off today for the new
Big Four talks at Geneva with
a pledge to strive for "a rea-
sonable agreement with the So
Wet Union on the problems of
Germany and Berlin"
But, Mr.. Herter said he has
mo great expectations for sue
cess" and that bargaining with
the Russians requires infinite
patience and long labor"
Secretary Herter spoke at
Andrews Air Force Base. Md,
near Washington. just before
soaring away at 9:44 am. in
brand-new jet plane, a giant
military version of the Boeing
TOT airliner. 1t was one of three
bought for President EiSen-
hover and other top officials.
Mr.. Herter's flight is the first
official use Of the new craft.
Hope for Results
Aides said the United States
Foreign Affairs Chief was not
ruling out the possibility of at
least a temporary agreement
on the cold war crisis issue at
the second round Of the foreign
ministers conference. Such an
agreement could pave the way
for a summit meeting later in
the year.
Mr.. Herter said in his air
port statement:
MY colleagues of France and
the United Kingdom and I will
strive, as we did before, to
reach a reasonable agreement
with the Soviet Union on the
problems of Germany and
Berlin.
I'VE go to Geneva resolved,
as before. to negotiate in good
faith, and equally determined
to maintain our obligations to
the more than 2 million free
people of West Berlin.
Before I left for the first
series of discussions in Geneva
I said I had no great expecta-
tons for success. Negotiations
with the Soviet Union require
infinite patience and long labor. |
That remains my view as we
approach the second series Of
discussions.
Il am confident that the
same close unity among the
Western allies which frightened
our work at Geneva will again
prevail"
Will Stop in Ottawa

minute talks with President
Eisenhower and other top Off
Gals yesterday, planned to make
his first stop in Ottawa today.

British Storms Leave

LONDON, July IL (AP).-
Freak storms dashed wide areas
of Southern England today
leaving a trail of fires and
floods and plunging historic
Windsor Castle into darkness.
Offshore, dense fog blanketed
British coastal waters and there
were two collisions involving
four ships.
From midnight until dawn,
storms ranged over hundreds
of square miles hitting dozens
of coastal resorts and veering
northWard toward London.
More rain fell during the
night than in the past two
months.
Floods spread over two cleo
trified rail lines leading into
the capital and stopped trains.

Mrs. Jones said.
Dear me, I'm a little en-

added.
Mrs. Jones, who came to
Washington FIVE years ago from
Boston, used to be a society
editor on a Massachusetts,
newspaper.
But I got tired of all those
women's clubs and playing

1t. Lurty, who's been on the

Here to See
Rare Show

Star-gazers will be able to
spot half of the IA major bodies
that revolve around the sun
just before sunset here tonight,
but a powerful telescope will
be necessary to see them all.
The Rev. Francis j. Heyden,
director of the Georgetown
University Observatory, said
the planets Mercury, Mars.
Venus, Jupiter and Saturn will
be visible to the naked eye Just
above the horizon.
All nine planets, the moon,
the sun and the four biggest
minor planets. or asteroids, are
in the same half of the solar
system. 1t is an extremely rare
occurrence, he said.
Mercury will be low in the
west and will appear as a
bright star. Near it will be
Mars. a bright orange. Venus,
in the west, will be the bright
est next to the moon. Jupiter
will appear in the south and
Saturn, a bright orange similar
to Mars, will probably be Wis
ible about 10 pm.
The IA celestial bodies will
be strung above the horizon al
most as beads on a string along
the line Of the ecliptic, the
path the sun takes among the
stars, said DR.. Kenneth l.
Franklin of Hayden Planetar-
ium in New York.
He said to determine how
rare a phenomenon this is one
would have Ito compute the
periods of revolution for all
the bodies in the solar system
taken simultaneously"
He pointed out that the
bodies are actually millions of
miles apart. For example,
Venus is nearly So million miles
from the earth's moon.
DR.. Franklin said the sky
show, visible all over the world,
would extend until next
Thursday.

ECLECTIC. Ala, July II
(AP).-A courageous small
town banker, angered because
two bandits threatened to kill
him and his family, shot one
to death and seriously wounded
the other to foil a bank robbery
here today.
The banker, 31-year-old Carl
Ray Barker, his pregnane wife
and 3-year-old daughter, had
been held hostage for about an
hour before he subdued one of
the holdup men by throwing
scalding water in his face and
beating him on the head with
the robbers own pistol.
Earlier the bandits kidnapped
a policeman and robbed a bank
of $3.50.
Mr.. Barker, general manager
of the Bank of Electric, killed
one of the robbers about 2 am.
with a shotgun charge in the
chest. He seriously wounded
the other who had received the
hot-water treatment like a
charge in the hip.

by papers in his wallet as

No Hope for Accord
Steel Industry Says
Mills to Get
Order TODAY
Close

NEW YORK, July II (AP).-
The steel industry said today
it saw no possibility of a con-
tract agreement to avert a
strike at midnight next Tues
day.
In announcing this, r. Con-
rad Cooper, chief industry ne
gotiator, said there was no
other recourse but to notify
steel firms later today to begin
shutting down.
After an hour-long negotiat-
ing session with the Steelwork-
erS Union, Mr.. Cooper said, IT
regret to announce we see no
possibility of an agreement"
He said no further negotiate
ing session was scheduled with
union president, David j. Nc
Donald, until tomorrow morn
ing, "but the outlook for an
agreement is not hopeful"
Extension Turned Down
The industry spokesman said
the companies again had asked
the union to extend labor con-
tracts indefinitely so bargain
ing talks could continue while
plants remained in operation.
Mr.. Cooper said the union
rejected any further contract
extension beyond the two-week
truce expiring at midnight
Tuesday.
The tWo-week postponement
of an earlier steel strike threat
on July l was granted by the
union at President Eisen-
hower'S request for more ne
gotiating time. But the union
last Wednesday turned down
a plea by Mr.. Eisenhower for a
further contract extension.
Mr.. Cooper broke off the
practice of joint industry
union announcements to meet
the reporters this morning in
announcing the induStry'S view
that it now appears no strike
free solution appeared possible.
Companies Stand Firm
So far, it was reliably re-
ported from both industry and
union sources, the top dozen
steel firms have stood firm on
their refusal to raise wages or
benefits resulting in any cost
increases.
In addition, the industry bar
gaining team has been insist
ing on contract changes that
would give steel firms more
leeWay in making work assign
mentS and otherwise slashing
operating costs.
Mr.. Mcdonald has pledged
mo backward step" from pres
ent contract terms.
But the industry had indi-
Gated it might come up with a
money offer if the union gave
ground on allowing more man
agement prerogatives.
Meetings Set Monday
Mr.. Macdonald has called his
unions executive board and
l71-man Wage Policy Commit
tee to meetings here Monday
to consider either any settle
ment plan or strike prepara-
tions.
A walkout of half a million
steel unionists would close
down about 80 per cent of the
Nations steel-making facilities.
While the industry has in
sisted any new labor cost boost
would be inflationary, the union
has repeatedly reduced its set
tlement terms considerably. 1t
was indicated the unions rock
bottom terms are about 10 cents
an hour. Workers now earn
about $40 per hour.
