President Expresses
PuzzIement Over Cuba

The United States is doing
everything it can to prevent
illegal flights from Florida to
Cuba, President Eisenhower
told his news conference today.
The task "is not easy" he
said, because there are more
than 200 airf1elds in Florida,
most of them crowded with
private planes. But the United
States is using its civil au-
thoritieS to the fullest extent
to avoid annoyance to its
neighbors, he declared.
The President expressed
puzzlement over the attacks
of Cuban Prime Minister Fidel
Castro's government on the
United States.
History Recalled
He noted that Cuba and the
United States had been on the
terms for the last
half century.
He gently chided the Castro
Government for its attitude
and observed that, after all,
their best market is right
here" One would think. he
added, that Cuban-American
relations would be better"

subject of Cuba by referring to

ing:
What do you suppose, sir
is eating him?"
Mr.. Eisenhower replied that
the State Department answer
to charges by the Cuban Pre-
mier had been discussed in de-
tail with Secretary of State
Herter.
Relations Hit New Low
That is "as full an answer
as I can make" Mr.. .Eisen-
hover said. He declined to
discuss "the possible motivation
of the man" on the grounds
he is not qualified to go into
distractions" in such a diff
cult field.
Attorney General Rogers is
already using "every kind OF
reinforced means" the Pres
ident said, to make sure there
are no violations of American
law in flights from Florida to
Cuba.

PRESIDENT PLANS
ANNUAL CHECKUP
AT WALTER REED

President t Eisenhower
plans to enter Walter Reed
Army Hospital very soon,
possibly later this week,
for his annual head-to-
toe physical checkup.
In announcing this at a
news conference, White
House Press Secretary
James C. Hagerty antici-
pated questions as to
whether Mr.. EiSenhower'S
timing is related in any
way to the cold he has
been trying to shake since
early September.
Mr.. Hagerty said there
is absolutely nothing con-

pie advising him on the best
way the Government could be
useful in bringing about con-
ciliatory attitudes.
The President said he
watched the steel situation
closely, even before the July Is
strike, from the time it became
evident that both sides had
adopted hardened positions.
Public Interest Crucial
He indicated he delayed ap-
pointment of a board of in
uuiry until it became clear that
the public interest-as distin-
guished from the interests of
labor and management-waS at
stake.
The President invoked the
Taft Hartley Acts emergency

of inquiry, on october 8. He
ordered the Justice Depart
ment to seek an 80-day injunc-
ton against the strike on Oc-
tober 10, after receiving the
boards report. The United
Steelworkers of America is
fighting the injunction in the
courts.
Secretary of Labor Mitchell,
among others, has suggested
enactment of a law authorizing
appointment of fact finding
boards in major strikes before
emergencies actually arise.
The President said the coun-
try not only needs, but more
and more is demanding, a
settlement of the strike.

Murphy Is Resigning
To axe Industry Job

Undersecretary of State Rob-
ert D. Murphy will end his 80
year career in the State De-
partment early in December
to take a post in private in
dustry in New York, he dis
closed today.
He declined to identify the
firm with which he will be as
sociated but acknowledged his
duties would be connected with
international affairs. !
The board of directors of the
firm still has to take final ac-
tion, he said, so he could not
give its name or its type of
business.
Mr.. Murphy is celebrating
his 65th birthday today. He
plans to go on vacation part
of next month.
Calls on President
The Undersecretary, known
around the world as the United
States principal trouble
shooter" called on President
Eisenhower at the White House
yesterday. Afterward he said
he discussed personal" affairs.
He did say, however, that he
would not become United
States Ambassador to West
Germany, as frequently re-
ported in recent weeks.

Gordon I. Smith said yester-
day he will demand the death
penalty for Motherwell when
the trial begins sometime after

office has promised him expert
assistance in the prosecution,
Mr.. Smith said. ]. Miller
Leavey, deputy district attorney
for Los Angeles County, who
obtained the original con-

Heavy Storm
Kills 10 Brifons
All North Europe
Loshed by Winds

LONDON. Oct. 20 (AP).-
Britain counted 10 dead today
after one of the worst storms
to hit Northern Europe in six
years.
Winds of up to 100 miles an
hour lashed across the conti-
nent, leaving a wake of wrecked
ships. Floods disrupted COM
munications. Nearly 200 ships
ran for shelter to British ports.
The British motor vessel
Dagema radioed from off Lands
End that two men had been
blown overheard.
Five other Seamen drowned
yesterday of the Scottish Ash
ing port of Fraserburgh when
two yawls went down in noun
famous seas.
Another man and two women
were killed by the storm in
Scotland. In the Inner Hebrides
a lifeboat rescued the crew of
the grounded German freighter
Hinrich Sieghold.
The 500-ton British coaster
Hindles crunched against the
rocks of Anglesey 80 minutes
after crewmen had been taken
by lifeboat.
The same lifeboat earlier had
rescued the crew of the Greek
freighter Ezzar, which radioed
that its engine room was
flooded. A deep sea tug sailed
out to tow the Ezzar to safety.
Of the Sussex coast a French
tug took the 5,833-ton Norwe-
gian motor vessel Granville in

industry-wide agreement, the
President said.
Mr.. Eisenhower said he was
not prepared to call the Kaiser
agreement a completely salts
factory basis for settling the
strike against other companies.
But, he continued, it is en-
couraging to know that the
Kaiser pact will increase the
Nations steel production by
about 2 per cent, even though
this will not have a very vital
effect on total output.
Responding to questions at
his news conference, the Presi-
dent also defended his policy
of avoiding Government inter-
vention in the strike as long as
possible.
AVOIDS Placing Blame
He carefully avoided placing
blame on either the union or
the companies, saying only that
both sides should be more con-
ciliatory.
Selfish interests of the COM
panieS and the union pale in
significance when compared
with the public interest in full
employment and production,
Mr.. Eisenhower said, adding
that the only concern the Gov
ernment has is the public.

ciSms of his role in the steel
dispute, the President did not
specifically defend his delay in

Allied Meetinq
Will Precede
Summit Par|ey
De GouIIe Urging
MIDI December Date
For Conference
BY EARL H. VOSS
Star stan Writer

President Eisenhower re-
ported today that a Western
summit conference has been
agreed upon in principle and
that French President de
Gaulle has suggested a date
around mid-December.
No definite time or place has
been agreed upon, however, Mr..
Eisenhower said. The top-level
Western talks would be a pre-
liminary to a full-Scale East
West summit meeting.
A Western summit meeting
would bring together Mr.. Eisen-
hover. Gen. de Gaulle, Britain's
Prime Minister Macmillan and
West Germany's Chancellor
Adenauer.
Now that the principle of a
Western meeting has been
agreed on, the President told
his news conference, planning
can go forward through diplo-
matte channels to "solidify" the
Western position.
All Agree to Meet
Gen. de Gaulle, Mr.. Macmil-
Ian and DR.. Adenauer have all
stated their readiness for the
meeting, Mr.. Eisenhower said.
DR.. Adenauer would be there
for discussion of any questions
affecting Germany, he added.
If Western leaders ever met
Soviet Premier Khrushchev
without a co-ordinated position,
he said. it would be very bad
indeed"
Disarmament, the President
indicated. would be the great
est" issue on the agenda of the
East-West summit conference
that is expected to follow the
meeting of Western leaders. But
he said he could not see how
disarmament could be dis
cussed without consideration of
the German problem as well.
DR.. Adenauer last week end
advocated keeping the problems
of Berlin and Germany of the
East-West summit agenda.
Considered Significant
The Presidents emphasis on
disarmament was considered
significant. He said some kind
of step toward disarmament
would be "the greatest thing
to ease tensions and bring
about a better approach to a
just peace"
Apparently referring to q
possible agreement on suspen-
sion of nuclear-weapons tests,
the President said he would
always be ready to break any
engagement to go anywhere ito
make sure" of a Single, sig
nif1cant step" in the field of
disarmament.
The only single, significant
step now under negotiation is
suspension of nuclear-weapons
tests. Talks resumed in Geneva
yesterday between Britain, the
Soviet Union and the United
States.
The President indicated,
however, that he does not ex-
pect any early relief from the
high defense costs of the space
age. No Significant" reduc-
tions in the American defense
budget could be made this
year, he told reporters.
Discussed at Length
Reducing defense expendi-
lures was a subject he discussed
"at considerable length" with
Premier Khrushchev, the Pres
ident disclosed.
There is no doubt, the Presi-
dent said, that Mr.. Khru-
shchev has come to realize that

In All Subjects
Tests Could Count
Up to 20 Per Cent
Toward Grade
BY ANDREW w. BINGHAM
Star stan Writer


District school officials an
nounced today they plan to
give final examinations next
June for the first time in all
academic subjects at the senior
high school level.
The tests will last at least
one and a half hours, and
could count up to 20 per cent
in determining the students
final grade. !
The plan would mean the
abolition of the traditional
Senior Week" with its round
of social activities for the grad
uating class, school officials
said.
Recommendations for this
major change in the academic
program were formally sub
mitted to Supt. Carl F. Han
sen today.
Certain Approval Seen
Considered certain to get his
approval, they were drawn up
by a special committee of school
personnel who studied a pilot
program with finals in selected
courses and schools last year.
I'm going ahead now with
plans for the exams" said John
D. Koontz, assistant superin-
tendent for junior and senior
high schools.
The special committee. head
ed by DR.. Benjamin L. Hunton.
a supervising director for jun
ior and senior high schools,
also suggested the following:
/. AS often as possible, ex-
aminations should not be ma
tional standardized tests.
2. Different tests should be
given students in each of the
high schools four tracks"
Those for college-bound stu
dents should stress essay-type
questions.
3. No student should take
more than three examinations
on any one day. and preferably
only two.
Shop Courses Excepted
Mr.. Koontz said that for
the most part similar tests
would be given in all high
schools for each course. They
will be drawn up by a commit
tee of teachers and admins
traitors concerned with the
specific subject.
Certain shop and business
courses where finals cannot
readily be given will be the
only ones excluded from the
testing program, Mr.. Koontz
said.
The purpose of the tests, he
said, is twofold: To determine
the students mastery of the
subject matter and to find out
what the teachers are teaching.
The detailed schedule of
tests must still be worked out,
Mr.. Koontz said, although they
definitely will be given at the
very end of the school year.
A way must be found, he en-
phasfZed, to give teachers ad-
equate time to correct them.
Before they are given. all the
exams will be checked by DR..

hurry-up schedule for the high
court itself to get the injunc-
tion matter settled quickly on
its merits. Assuming fast filing
of the union appeal, he recon-
mended consideration by the
Supreme Court Friday, and
oral arguments Monday if the
justices decide they want such
a hearing.
The Third Circuit Court of
Appeals in Philadelphia yester-
day upheld an Injunction order
ing the 100000 striking STEEL
workers back to their jobs for
80 days.
6 Days Grace Allowed
The court delayed enforce
ment of its ruling for six days,
however, to permit a union ap-
peal to the Supreme Court.
The injunction originally had
been granted by Federal Dis
trict Judge Herbert P. Sorg Of
Pittsburgh.
The Attorney General asked
the Supreme Court to vacate
the 6-day stay unless the union
appeal is filed by noon tomor-
row.
The union filed papers with
the Supreme Court opposing
the speedup. The union said it
could file its initial petition for)
appeal by Friday, but could mott
file a full brief on the merits
OF the case until Monday.
1t asked the court to leave
the Six-day stay in force. !
The Government had urged
that the case proceed without
filing of full briefs on the
merits, and the union opposed
this suggestion.
Under the unions proposed
timetable, oral arguments on
the appeal could start next
Tuesday.
Denies Sailing
Denying that the union has
tried to drag out the case,
Counsel Arthur j. Goldberg
told the court "the union has
at no stage of this proceeding
sought delay for delays sake.
We are willing and anxious
to expedite the consideration of
this case"
A delay of even a few more
weeks, the union contended,
would not irreparably harm
the national interest"
The union denied that Mr..
Goldberg had said he would
not file his initial appeal pa
pers before next Monday.
The Government will file its
brief in opposition to the union
appeal tomorrow, Mr.. Rogers
said, if the union petition is
filed by that time.
