Other Democratic candidates
issued cautious statements on
the subject. The essence of
their remarks was that rapid
population growth is indeed a
problem, but that the United
States should not attempt to
dictate to other nations on
how to solve such a problem.
The statement by the Cath

provoked by a report prepared
by the Stanford Research

The BIO is an advanced
bomber designed to fly three
times the speed Of sound. It
was years from being opera
tional although half a billion
dollars had been spent on 1t.
Now only one or two prototypes
will be built. The BIO had
been criticized on the ground
that it would be obsolete in the
missile age even before it went
into production.
Mr.. McElroy said that as of
today Russia and the United
States have about the same
number Of intercontinental
missiles-a very small number.
But he said Russian production
will outstrip the United States
in coming years.
Khrushchev Boasts
Last July Mr.. McElroy said
Russia had fewer than 10 mis-
siles capable of hitting the
United States. But recently
Russian Premier Khrushchev
boasted that a Russian plant
was turning out $50 missiles a
year. And yesterday in Buda-
pest Mr.. Khrushchev said
Russia has a stockpile of
rockets big enough "to raze to
the ground all our potential
enemies"
In spite of the admitted mis-
sile lag that will last until 1868,
Mr.. McElroy contended that
the United States today has a
greater atomic striking power
than it had when he took Office
in late 1857.
"It is our belief that we are
prepared for either nuclear or
non-atomic limited, war;" Mr..
McElroy said. A

tioner that he thinks it is only
natural for his family to think
he may be taking on a load he
shouldn't.
Mrs. Eisenhower has been
reported as saying she was
afraid the 22,000-mile journey
would be too much Of a bur-
den for the President.
But Mr.. Eisenhower re.
ported that his doctors say 81
am capable of doing it," He re-
vealed that he had what he
called monthly physical ex-
animation just three days ago.
"I think I am as fit as I
possibly could be" to undertake
the trip. the President added.
He remarked that the jour-
ney will demand resistance to
fatigue" But, with a smile, he
said, "I think I am capable
of carrying on without losing
what I used to think of as a
good disposition"
Won't Shun Problems
While his main purpose will
be to promote good will and un-
derstanding for the United
States, the President said that
of course he would be glad to
discuss ANY specific problems
facing the countries he visits.
He mentioned specifically
India's border difficulties with
Communist China. The i'm
portant issue in this, he de-
clared, is whether nations are
going to settle differences by
honest negotiation or whether
they are going to move in with
force.
He emphasized that II am
very much on the side of the
people who say they must do
it by negotiation"
His words supported the
stand Of Indian Prime Minister
Nehru, with whom Mr.. Eli
senhower will have long con-
ferences during his f1ve-day
visit to India.
Negotiation Praised
The President also referred
to long-standing differences be-
tween India and Pakistan,
another country he will visit.
He said settlement of those
differences by negotiation
would be wonderful" And
this applies to almost every
problem in the world, he added.
One reporter reminded the
President that under the law
he has sole authority for order
ing use of nuclear weapons by
American defense forces in the
event of an emergency, and
asked whether he had made any
arrangements for leaving such
authority with someone else or
whether he could exercise 1t
while overseas.
Mr.. Eisenhower said there
was no arrangement to leave
any presidential authority with
anyone else. He added that his
authority regarding nuclear
weapons could be delivered ''in
q simple message instantane-
ously." He also said he is more
hopeful now of constructive re-
suits from the Geneva negotia-
tions on the suspension of
nuclear weapons testing than
he was a few months ago.

hopes for his good will journey

the White House, Mr.. McElroy
said these steps have been taken
or will be taken to fill in the
gap:
l. Congress will be asked for
enough money to let the Air
Force maintain an airborne
alert if necessary during the
three-year missile lag period.
In such an alert, bomberS car
rying nuclear weapons would
be in the air at all times, safe
from sneak attack and ready
for instant retaliation.
2. The development of the
Hound Dog missile has added
years to the usefulness of
manned bombers such as the
B-52. This missile can be fired
from an airborne B-52 at tar
gets up to 500 miles away.
8. The Navy's Polaris missile,
while not yet operational, will
be ready to go next year. This
is the 1,500-mile missile that
can be carried anywhere by
atomic-powered submarines and
fired from under water.

hover today.

this offer in q campaign to-
build up a favorable vote.
The United States Steel
Corps pamphlet is headed,
Last Offer on Which You May
Vote by Secret Ballot Sometime
in January, 1860"
David j. Mcdonald, union
president, angrily waving the
pamphlet. charged that use of
the term last offer" shows the
companies have no intention Of
bargaining in good faith. He
said the companies were using
the mediation sessions as a
propaganda gimmick."
To this Mr.. Cooper retorted:
1T is Just as much a part Of
collective bargaining to say
mo- to unreasonable demands
as it is to say yes to reasonable
ones"
Cooper Defends Proposal
Another company official said
the union has not yet made
a counterproposal in response
to management'S offer Of No
vember Is.
Mr.. Cooper told reporters this
offer is fair and is "as much
as can be offered without an
inflationary increase in the cost
of producing STEEL"
The companies estimate their
offer would cost 80 cents per
man-hour, excluding possible
cost-of- Living adjustments, dur
ing a three year contract. The
union has estimated the pack
age Of wages and fringe bene-
fits is worth only "a cents,
and yesterday Mr.. Mcdonald
trimmed the estimate to %
cents.
Money Secondary
Management's demand for
ultimate arbitration, If neces-
sary. Of the work-rules issue is
a bigger obstacle to agreement
than money.
After yesterdays closed ses-
sion Of about two and a half
hours, Mr.. Cooper commented
that he was unable to say
whether there had been prog
ress. Asked the same question,
Mr.. Mcdonald said absolutely
none"
Accusing the industry Of being
"adamant," he said "there were
no negotiations today at ALL"
The union leader charged the
companies with distributing
propaganda aimed at con-
fuSing the minds of the STEEL
workers" Heralding a major
battle for the allegiance of

Joseph F. Finnegan, director
Of the Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Service, called
management's four-man nego-
tiating team to a conference
this morning, and scheduled a
similar meeting with the unions
four man team this afternoon.
No New Offers
Mr.. Finnegan switched to this
technique Of separate meetings
after yesterdays joint session
produced no progress. All that
emerged was a barrage of
charges and countercharges by
the union and management ne
gotiators.
Mr.. Finnegan used the session
to explore management's latest
proposals, which the union re-
jected as totally unaccepta-
ble." Neither side made any
new proposals yesterday. .
If this inflexibiIity continues,
Mr.. Finnegan probably will
submit compromise proposals
Of his own.
Tentative settlement of the
longshoremen's strike encour-
aged some mediatorS about
prospects for steel. The dockers
and their employers have
agreed tentatively on a COM
promise of the dispute over use
Of labor-saving devices. This
dispute is related to the issue
Of local work rules in steel, and
the settlement may give steel
negotiators some ideas.
Mr.. Finnegan will decide his
peace-making strategy on a
day-to-day basis. He may recess
mediation sessions after a few
days. or he may call in the board
of inquiry appointed by Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
Possible Time-KilIer
Arecess would serve, in part,
to kill time. Pressures for a set
tlement will not reach maximum
force until next month. The
steelworkers are on the job un-
der q Taft-Hartley Act injunc-
ton. When the 80-day injunc-
