 Next To-Last Stop
 Eisenhower is making the next to last stop of his 11-nation tour.
 Franco considers this presiden- tial visit a tribute to his support of the Western Allies against Com munism. It is a far cry from the atmosphere of few years ago, when the United Nations held the Franco regime to be menace to peace. Today the United States has some of it's best forward bombing bases in Spain.
 In fact, Eisenhower landed at one of these bases near Madrid, and Franco, in his welcome, com mented on that, saying:

By GEORGE MACARTHUR

PARIS, tR - President Eisen- hover sent a letter to Soviet Pre- mier Khrushchev today inviting him to the first of a series of sum- init meetings, to consider interna- tional questions of mutual con- cern."
 Similar letters are going from the British and French chiefs of government, as a folloW-up to their Western summit conference over the weekend.
 Eisenhower said this meeting agreed it is desirable that the East-West summit session "con- vene from time to time in each others countries to discuss the main problem affecting the at tainment of peace and stability in the world"
 The first meeting will convene in Paris April 27 if Khrushchev accepts the arrangements. The Big Four, in their invita- tions to the Soviet leader, ruled out the participation of divided Germany, Red China and India.
 Eisenhower said goodbye to Paris after a brief meeting today with British Prime Minister Mac Milan, French President De Gaulle and West German Chan cellor Adenauer. He flew to Madrid.
 The ceremonies of his depar- ture from Paris were unusually brief. Mounting the steps of his orange-nosed jetliner, after the playing of the Star Spangled Banner and the Marseillaise, he turned and said Goodbye" ] White House Press Secretary James C.

MOSCOW, R - A Soviet en- gineer has proposed building a tidal pump and dam which he said would warm of thousands of miles of the Pacific coastline of Asia and banish snow from Japan forever
 Tass said yesterday his idea is to throw a dam across Sevelsky Strait - the five-mile stretch of water dividing the mainland of the Soviet Union from the island of Sakhalin. Its effect would be to close off cold waters from the north and tidal pump would be used to introduce warm current from the south to the area.
 The Soviet news agency attrib- uted the idea to Soviet engineer, N. Ramonov, and claimed the Pa cific coast of the Soviet Union, north China and Hokkaido Island of Japan all stood to benefit
 Tass said Romanov intended to work on the FKurosiwo," a warm current from the south which fizzles out now in the Sea of Japan. It explained that because there was nothing to stop the icy waters in the Sea of Okhotsk from thesnorth, harsh cold weath- CT now hits the Asian coastline all the way down to Korea.
