A Government-industry con-
ference was called yesterday
"to develop sensible team
work" for the job of banning
deceptive advertising from tele-
vision and radio.
Earl w. Kintner, chairman
of the Federal Trade Commits
sion, invited TV-radio leaders
and other Government officials
to meet informally with him
here November 80 to seek "a
workable plan that will co-or-
dinate our efforts"
The telegram of invitation
was sent to heads of the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co., the
Columbia Broadcasting System
and the american Broadcast
ing Co., and to the National
Association of BroadcasterS
and its TV code board of re-
view. The Federal Communica-
tons Commission and the At
torney General were asked to
send observers.
In announcing the meeting
plans, Mr.. Kintner issued a
statement which said:
at is quite plain that the
broadcasting industry and the
Government are determined to
clean up the abuse of public
confidence by the false adver-
tising claims made over the
airwaves. What is needed is q
workable plan that VIII CO.

mission Is poised to strike de-
ception with the full force of
the laws it administers, and the

For Adenuuer:
Reinsurance

While the President was pre-
pairing for his history making trip,
the leaders of the two nations in
the Western alliance, considered
most unenthusiastic for a rap
prochement with the Soviet Union,
met in Paris. West Germany's
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and
French President Charles de
Gaulle spent two days, Tuesday
and Wednesday, discussing their
own positions in advance of the
December 19 conference.
After the talks, Mr.. Adenauer
told reporters that he and the
French President found ourselves
in agreement on all essential
points" In the fourth such
meeting in the last 13 months,
the two leaders apparently ce-
mented even more closely the pol
icy ties that have brought France
German relations closer than ever
before. Both Mr.. Adenauer and
Gen. de Gaulle are known to be
skeptical of Soviet intentions, and
determined that the West will
make no concessions to Mr..
Khrushchev without accompany
ing quid pro quo from Moscow.
The West German delegation
disclosed that major item on the
agenda for the talks was Bonn's
fear that Gen. de Gaulle'S inde-
pendent attitude toward the North

But despite his references to

He pledged continued efforts to

Of relaxing international tensions.
Other speakers, however, warned
that peaceful coexistence did not
mean any abandonment or relax

Defense:
New Boss

When Thomas S. Gates, jr.. was
named Deputy Secretary of De-
fense last spring to succeed Dom
aid A. Quarles, who died on May
3, 1t was widely assumed that he
would be the next Secretary of
Defense.
Neil H. McElroy had for months
before indicated he would like to
return to his job as head of Proc
ter & Gamble as soon as practi-
cable. The death of Mr.. Quarles
delayed his departure.
Last week, Mr.. McElroy re-
signed. Mr.. Gates, former Secre-
tary of the Navy and an old
Pentagon hand. was fully familiar
with upper echelon problems of the
military establishment and ready
to take over. President Eisenhower
promptly named him as top man.
The selection of Mr.. Gates, a
former Philadelphia investment
banker. as the newest cabinet
member, thus came as no surprise.
In fact, after it had been an
nounced, one of his daughters,
innocent as to the ways political
appointments are handled along
the Potomac, let the cat out of
the bag. She told a reporter her

taryship with the understanding

Showed ImportioHty

AS Navy Secretary, he was an
articulate champion of the sea
service, a man who got along with
the admiralS but who was not
dominated by them. In the six
months he served as deputy De-
fense chief, he demonstrated a firm
impartiality which impressed even
top Air Force officers. Probably
the most intense rivalry at the
Pentagon is the one between the
Air Force and the Navy.
Although he is expected to
take charge to a greater degree
than Mr.. McElroy, who appeared
disinclined to make decisions on
the really controversial policy
matters, the Philadelphian can
only look forward to a tenure
of IA months.
If the Democrats take over the
White House in January, 1861,
he, of course, will be out. Even
if the Republicans win, the like
lihood is that the new President
will bring in his own man. Thus,
Mr.. Gates probably will serve
the shortest time of any Secre-
tary of Defense to date, except
for Gen. George c. Marshall, who
held the post for just under IL
months. The continuity of COM
mand will once again be dis
rupted in a department. which
annually spends more than half
the total national budget.

Change on SAC

In his farewell news conference
last Tuesday, Mr.. McElroy dis
closed that the Pentagon is taking
steps to ready the Strategic Air
Command for an airborne alert
to prevent its destruction in the
event of surprise missile attack
by the Soviet Union. Additional
engines for SAC bombers are to
be ordered and special training
for crews instituted.
The outgoing Secretary said
such an alert may be ordered in
the next 18 months or two years
if the Joint Chiefs of Staff so
recommend in the face of grow
ing Russian intercontinental mis-
sile strength.
Critics Of administration de-
tense policy have advocated an
airbornN alert for more than u
year. The Joint Chiefs and Mr..
McElroy have taken the position,
however, that the Russians do
not yet have a significant ICBM
capability despite Premier Khru-
shchev's boasts and, therefore,
such an alert at this time would
be unnecessary and wasteful.
About one-third Of SAC's bomb
ers are presently being held on a
l5-minute ground alert. That is,
these planes are capable of being
airborne in that brief time, fully
loaded and ready to carry out a
retaliatory strike mission.

OnAIgeHo:
u. N. Debate

Efforts on both sides to bring
about a cease-f1re in the 5-year-
old Algerian revolt have dead
locked over the issue of political
guarantees. The Algerian Provi-
sional Government demands that
Frence pledge an impartial refer
endum on the future status of the
North African nation before cease
fire talks begin. Thus far, Presi-
dent de Gaulle has ruled out such
political conditions on the ground
that acceptance would in effect
recognize the Provisional Govern
ment.
At the United Nations last week,
debate waxed warm over the Al
gerian issue. The French dele
cations seats were empty, but
three ministers of the Algerian
government were present as un-
official observers. The Political
Committee is discussing a draft
resolution submitted by % African
and Asian nations.
Indications are that the reso-
luton will be approved by the
committee and by the Assembly.
But informal talks in the halls
and lounges disclosed strong senti-
ment, even among Frances friends,
for French acceptance of the AL
gerian conditions. The United
States and Britain opposa the res
olution, both urging that the U. N.
take no action so that direct ne
gotiaions between Paris and the
Algerians along the lines proposed
by Gen. de Gaulle can proceed un-
hampered.
The long debate brought an
unusual weekend session of the
Political Committee. in hopes that
the speeches would be concluded
in time for a vote tomorrow or
Tuesday.

Bomber Strapped

An airborne alert is a horse of
another color. 1t would be far
more expensive and complicated
and especially wearing on the air
craft and crews. If and when such
an alert is ordered, a force of
big tanker planes will also have to
be kept in the air to refuel the
bombers. Doubtless considerably
fewer than one-third of SAC'S
total force would be maintained
aloft at any one time.
In another defense development,
the Air Force announced the vir-
tual scrapping of the BIO bomber
program. Originally, the Air Force
hoped to build a force of 200 Of
these 2,l00-mile-an-hour giants.
Now, because of the economy
pinch and the onrush of our own
long-range missile capability, the
BIO program has been down.
graded. After expenditures of $3.50
million, only two test planes will
be built. Each will cost an esti-
mated $3.50 million. The first will
fly in 1868.
The Pentagon explained the
BIO decision by pointing to the
development of these weapons:
The Hound Dog nuclear-tipped
guided missile, two of which can
be carried under the wings of
each B-52 bomber and fired
against enemy targets 500 miles
away; the Atlas ICBM now being
deployed on launching sites; the
Minuteman solid-fuel ICBM, due
to be operational by the end of
1868, and the Navy's Polaris sub
marine Launched ballistic missile,
due late in 1860.

Khrushchev:
On'56 Revolt

Premier Khrushchev journeyed
to Budapest last week to partici-
pate in the Hungarian Communist
Party's first congress since the
bloody uprising of October, 1856.
Somewhat surprisingly for a
Kremlin leader. he revealed that
there had been some dissension in
Moscow when the question of
Soviet armed intervention in the
Hungarian revolt was being dis
cuSSed.
Some comrades expressed anx-
iety that any aid Ito the Hun
garian Communists) would be
misconstrued. But we said that in
time they would see we were right,
and we had to help the working
class" the Soviet Premier told the
congress.
Mr. Khrushchev was clearly de-
Tending his action in ordering
Soviet tanks and troops into the
streets of Budapest. He recalled
that Car Nicholas I sent Russian
troops into Hungary in order to
help quell a revolution, and
that the United States had
sent arms to Greece after World
War II to suppress Communist
forces. Capitalism never hesitates
to preserve another capitalist re-
gime," he told 10000 listeners at
a Budapest factory meeting.
