Housing Veto
Facts Debated
Bush Reps Critics,
Defends Accuracy
By J. A. OLEARY
Star STAFF Writer

A verbal clash over the &C.
curacy of President EiSen-
hower's message vetoing the
housing bill enlivened a Senate
Housing Subcommittee hearing
today.
Senator Bush, Republican of
Connecticut, touched off the
exchange by describing criti-
cism of the message last week
as unfair and unjuStit1ed."
II can understand the con-
Germ of my colleagues in the
opposition party because PreSi-
dent Eisenhower exposed to the
people of this country the ex-
travagence of the bill he
vetoed" Senator Bush said.
II can understand their
eagerness to attempt to demon
strate that the veto message
was not strictly factual in its
language. I believe that at
tempt has failed, and that,
when it is considered as a
whole without strained dlstor-
tons of the plain meaning of
words, the message accurately
described the vetoed BILL" he
continued.
Sparkman Steps In
Senator Sparkman, Demo-
crat of Alabama, repeated the
criticism that the messagesgave
an erroneous impression that a
few cities could get all of the

Police said Miss Dunn has
three days to decide whether to
forfeit $40 collateral or let Mu-
nicipal Court decide the long
or short of it. Miss Dunn hasn't
decided whether to get a lawyer
or pay up.
However, other cabbies have
been pining for knee room in
muggy weather for quite a
while. In June, E. Erwin DOL
lar, executive vice president of
the Associated Taxicab Opera
tors, Inc, sent a telegram to
the PUG protesting the anti
shorts regulation.
But the PUG stood pat. Ex-
ecutive Secretary Norman C..
Belt said shorts are gaining
wider acceptance, but there
are still plenty of people who
would be shocked to see a taxi
driver wearing them.
Aside from the shorts prob
lem. one other question arises.
why is Miss Dunn's name
S. KIP" a reporter asked Mr..
Dunn.
WELL" he replied, "she liked
that name so much she took
it herself and had it legalized

But what does it mean"
the reporter asked.
Mr.. Dunn said that was

While Mr.. Klein is far too

among those accompanying Mr..

was Georgi Zhukov, chairman
Of the Soviet Government Com
mittee on Foreign Cultural
Relations.
Flying ahead were two planes
carrying 88 American and
foreign newSmen.
The Vice Presidents depar-
ture from the Soviet Capital
was preceded by a weekend
visit with Soviet Premier Nj
kita S. Khrushchev during
which they discussed East-West
differences for six hours.
Neither side would say
whether the marathon talk had
boosted chances for removal of
the Soviet threat to allied
forces in West Berlin. But Mr..
Nixon said the long exchange
was helpful because it pro-
vided an opportunity for frank
and complete discussion in a
calm and objective atmosphere"
Greeted by Crowd of 1,OOO
A crowd of 1000 greeted the
Vice President and his party
at the Leningrad airport. 1t
was nearly three times the
number who turned out for
their arrival in Moscow last
Thursday.
Two American tourists Joined
the airport crowd and held up

Although there was no loud

message to the people Of

Mr.. Nixon used the Russian
word for peace.
Most of the crowd remained

Steel Par|eys
AreResuIned
Both Sides Silent
On Shift in Views

NEW YORK. July 81 (AP) -
The first joint peace talks be-
tween industry and union since
the start of the Nationwide
steel strike opened here today
under the auspices of Federal
mediators.
Both sides were silent con-
corning possible changes in
their positions.
Joseph F. Finnegan, director
of the Federal Mediation and
Cancellation Service, reiterated
his warning that no early or
easy settlement of the 13-day-
old strikes appears likely.
Mr.. Finnegan, who arranged
the Joint talks last week, said
on his arrival here from Wash
ington last night:
They can't settle this strike
by not talking"
No Hint of Change
He said he received no indi-
cation during the week end that
either side had changed its
position. Mr.. Finnegan had
held separate meetings with
union and industry representa-
tiveS since the strike began.
Heading the negotiating
teams for today's talks were
David j. Mcdonald, president
of the United Steelworkers of
America, and R. Conrad
Cooper, executive vice preSi-
dent of the United States Steel
Corp.
The strike of 100000 men,
bers of the United Steelwork-
ers has shut down plants that
produced almost 80 per cent
of the Nations steel. The stop
page has idled an estimated
$4,000 employees in other in
dustrieS, with railroads the
hardest hit.
Demands Rejected
The unions demands include
a 15-cents-an-hour package
increase in each year of a new
contract, plus fringe benefits.
The industry, rejecting the de-
mands, contends that an in
crease in labor costs would
force a rise in steel prices and
thus help spur imitation. The
union contends that industry
profits and increased produc-
tivity make a wage rise possible
without a price increase. Pre-
strike wages averaged $40 an
hour.
A. B. Homer, president of the
Bethlehem Steel Co., said in a
letter to all Bethlehem en-
ployes yesterday that the
union has made agreement
impossible by continuing to in
sist on inflationary wage and
benefit increases"

Gromyko on
Easing Terms
U. S. and France
Stund Firm on
Issue Over Berlin
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWEE
Associated Press star Writer

Associated Press stan Writer
GENEVA, July 27.-British
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd
was reported to have sounded
out Foreign Minister Andrei A.
Gromyko today on whether
Russia will make any cut in its
terms for a Berlin deal.
Mr.. Lloyd held a luncheon
conference with Mr.. Gromyko
which lasted more than two
hours.
AS the East-West conference
went into its ninth week of
negotiations, a crowded sched-
ule of talks also called for
strategy consultations among
the Western foreign ministers
and a Big Four secret session
at the end Of the day.
When the luncheon at Mr..
Lloyd's residence ended, Mr..
Gromyko was asked whether
there was any progress toward
East-WeSt agreement. He re-
piled to Mr.. Lloyd. you had
better ask the minister.
Mr.. Lloyd had no comment.
British Stand Opposed
The United States and
France have been reported
standing firm against British
pressure to cut down on West
ern terms for a Berlin agree
ment in order to clear the way
for a summit conference.
Associates said Secretary of
State Herter is still determined
to try to get an agreement
from Mr.. Gromyko to protect
West Berlin. But he is reported
equally determined not to &C
cept any deal which will put a
deadline on allied rights there.
Mr.. Lloyd, who conferred
with Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan over the week end,
repeatedly believes that lin
tied assurances already offered
by Mr.. Gromyko are the best
the West can hope for and
should be accepted condition
ally.
Price Unacceptable
The condition, British in
formants said, is that Russia
for the time being drop its de-
mand for agreement on direct
unification negotiations be-
tween the West German and
Communist East German gov
ernments. All three western
powers were reported agreed
that this price demanded by
Mr.. Gromyko for a stopgap
Berlin settlement is completely
unacceptable.
Last night, after returning
from London, Mr.. Lloyd dined
with Mr.. Herter. Diplomats said
the differences within the
Western camp undoubtedly
were discussed.
The disagreement, centering
on the summit conference issue,
seemed too deep and persistent
to be reconciled quickly.
Mr.. Lloyd and Mr.. Macmillan
believe a summit meeting
sooner or later is inevitable.
They would like to get it on
the basis of some agreement
on Berlin here even though
that falls short of what the
West is asking.
Mr.. Herter and President
Eisenhower feel it is vital to
stand absolutely firm in the
face of Soviet threats even. if
there is no summit meeting.
They believe the minimum the
United States can accept is a

partment for access roads,
parking lots and sewer and
water lines.
This reduces a "grandiose,
utopian" plan Of Interior to a
dollars-and-cents approac CHI
that Congress will accept, Mr..
Harris predicted.
His new bill will amend the
legislation authorizing con-
struction of a 50,OO0-Seat sports
arena beside the Anacostia
River between independence
and Constitution avenues, in
the vicinity of the Armory.
Authority Questioned
Final architectural drawings
and preparation of the bond
issue to raise money for the
stadium have been held up be-
cause Of a fuss over the au-
thority of Interior to improve
the grounds around the stadi-
UNI. The Interior Secretary
contracted with the Armory
Board to build facilities. Then,
in a surprise ruling, the Con-
troller General held that In
terror lacked the legal right to
make the contract.
Mr.. Harris new bill is a sub
stitute for a measure, also de-
signed to clarity Interiors au-
thority, blocked on the floor
two weeks ago by Representa-
tive Gross. The economy
minded Republican of Iowa OPP
poses any Federal spending for
stadium facilities.
Mr.. Gross succeeded by a
technical maneuver in sending
this bill back to the House
District Committee.
Hits "GrandiOse Plan"
There, aides took a new look
at the bill. which contained no
limit on Interior spending.
From Interior, however, came
an estimate that ground i'm
provements would cost SIS
million.
This grandioSe plan in
cluded renovating Government
buildings, and building high
ways and walkways never in
tended to be part of the sta
dium," Mr.. Harris said.
To keep costs down, he won
an agreement from stadium
sponsors to abandon a pedeS-
trian walkway leading from
the proposed arena toward
East Capitol street, estimated
cost, $525, 900; renovation of
Federal temporary buildings in
the vicinity, SIS million, and
a river roadway from M street
along the Anacostia to Ben
ming road, SIS million.
Separate Sewer Money
The cost of sewer and water
utilities estimated at 1925, 900,
also was lifted from the In
terror financing plan and left
to be financed by money raised
in the proposed bond issue.
