Both sides brought up the
various subjects they intend to

Soviet Premier Khrushchev
today promised to put a new
disarmament proposal before
the United Nations when he
speaks there Friday. In q
National Press Club speech
he forecast the proposal
would play an important
part in the solution Of this
most burning" issue.
Warming to his role as COM
munism's No. ! salesman, a
jovial Nikita Khrushchev today
drew a political lesson from an
American turkey.
The Soviet Premier, waving
a live turkey, told a laughing
crowd you can't tell a Com
munist bird from it's capitalistic
cousin without a passport"
Mr.. Khrushchev met the bird
"a small, white, fat one-as
= he toured the Agriculture De-
partment's huge research CEN
ter in nearby Beltsville, Md.
"One thing that the Com
munists and capitalists are
agreed on" Mr.. Khrushchev
said with a smile, lis that the
more turkeys each country
produces, the better it is for all
concerned"
Birds Exactly Alike
He added wryly:
IAN analysis of American
and Russian turkeys shows that
they are exactly the same
and if you didn't give a Com
munist turkey a passport no
one would ever now he wasn't
q capitalist"
The rotund Soviet leaders
comments came after he heard
Agriculture Secretary Benson
say that under capitalism
America has developed an agri-
culture "unequaIled anywhere
in the world"
After greeting Mr.. Khru-
shchev, Mr.. Benson patted the
Russian on his arm and said,
Il think you would make a
good farmer"
II think I can compete with
you" the Soviet Premier re-
piled with a broad grin.
Mr.. Khrushchev himself has
boasted that the Soviet Unions
agriculture some day would
create a living standard SUI
perior to Americas.
Questions Benson
Speaking through an inter-
prefer, Mr.. Khrushchev fired
questions at Mr.. Benson as
they toured the sprawling re-
search center.
With the air of an American
farmer at a county fair, Mr..
Khrushchev moved with OBJ
vious relish among the prize
animals displayed for his bene-
flt.
At one point the nattily
dressed Premier knelt down
among noisy pigs to get q
closer look. When photogra-
pliers shouted to him to pose
beside the animals he laugh
ingly obliged.
Mr.. Khrushchev also patted
sheep and a champion 3-year-
old dairy COW.
Gazing admiringly at a thick
f1eeced sheep, Mr.. Khrushchev
remarked: -N
Il started out my career by
herding sheep"
Amused by Hog
And when a hog squealed
frantically as officials tried to
show off a machine that
measures the thickness of lard
layers. Mr.. Khrushchev laughed
and said:
THE pig didn't like it."

ing ahead in milk production;

Good Faith
Delegate Rule
Convention Seating
Policy Displays
Party Harmony
BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star stan Writer

With an unexpected display
Of harmony. the Democratic
National Committee adopted
today without debate a 1856
good faith" rule governing the
seating of delegations for the
1860 presidential convention.
The rule was re-adopted by
a voice vote as the National
Committee met at the Shera-
ton-Park Hotel to. consider
rules for next years convention.
There was a stable number
Of mo" votes but no one re-
quested a roll call.
The good faith" resolution
would require assurances that
voters in a State will have 1.-The
opportunity to cast their votes
for the presidential and vice
presidential nominees selected
by the convention" and for
electors pledged formally or in
good conscience" to their elec-
ton under the Democratic
Party label and designation"
Laws on Electors
Some States have passed laws
that would permit them to
carry the names of unpledged
electors only on the ballots.
Earlier a revised plan to
apportion votes at next years
Democratic National Conven-
ton so that no State would
lose any was presented to the
committee amid rumblings Of
discomfort from several sources
over the leadership of Chair
man Paul M. Butler.
However. even those oppos-
ing Mr.. Butler said they ex-
pected no concerted move to
GUST him. One Of the reasons
was that the Butler opponents
have been unable to center on
anyone to propose in his place.
Under the new plan offered
today by Mr.. Butler without
advance notice, convention
votes would be raised from
the 1.372 in the 1856 conven-
ton to 1911. an increase OF
139 votes.
Butler Plan Cited
Under a plan announced by
Mr.. Butler over the week end,
the total number Of votes would
have been increased by 1903
with 80 States gaining votes.
IS losing votes and 7 retain
ing the same number of votes
they had in 1856.
Under the revised Butler plan,
as well as under his original
proposal, the bulk OF the in
creased vote would 60 to the
larger Northern States and
California. For example, New
York's vote would jump from
90 to ia and CALIFORNIA; from
SO to 81. In both cases this
would be one less vote than Mr..
Butler proposed in the plan he
announced over the week end.
Mr.. Butler said the changes
made from the original plan
we're substantial and he asked
the committee members to
study them closely before con-
sidering the matter.
The weekend announcement
brought new demands for the
custer of Mr.. Butler, particu-
larry from Southerners already
angry over the chairman's
stand on civil rights. The vot-
ing plan, it developed. would

Lower county residents in the
regional park district now pay
a 10 cents park tax per every
500 of assessed valuation, plus
a three-cents regional district ad-
ministrative tax.
Upper county residents have
paid the latter tax since they
were taken into the regional dis
trict in 1857. But they do not
pay the 10 cents park tax.
The creation of five-cents park
tax in upper Montgomery Coun-
ty will bring In an estimated
$4,000 when levied. Informed
planning sources, however, be-
lieve the levy will not be asked
until the next M-NCPPC fiscal
year that starts In April, 1860.
The lag, Commission spokes.
men point out, will allow plan
ners time to execute a master
plan for the upper reaches of
the county.
And when levied, that tax
would apply only to acquisition
and development of parkland,
not to planning. The same is
true Of dOwn-cOunty park tax.
The truly significant raise in
taxes, planners feel, is the pro-
posed one-cent boost in the ad.

They are quick to point out
that the increase is the first
asked for administrative opera.
tons by the Commission since
the rate was first set 80 years
ago.
The General Assembly in 1855
passed enabling legislation that
removed the administrative tax
ceiling but the Commission has
waited until now to ask for
more.
The administrative tax last fis-
cal year brought in S277,200. If
the one-cent tax hike were not
approved by the Council, normal
increase In assessable tax base
would see this figure rise to
$296, 400.
But imposition Of the one-cent
bite would bring in an estimated
