Holiday traffic deaths,
boosted by a series of costly
multiple fatality accidents,
mounted at an alarming rate
today on the Nations highway.
The toll early today stood at
ga dead. In addition, six per-

Holiday drivers faced beefed-
UP enforcement by traffic au-

from the National Safety

The council, in estimating
week end travel by some 40
million autos, also said traffic
accidents may cause 260 deaths
and 10000 disabling hours.
During the early hours of the

Americas two nonchalant
space monkeys face their pub
lie today.
Newsmen and photographers
will stare and flash bulbs at
Able and Baker. Hams that
they are, the two should take
it all in stride.
The female monkeys, who
survived a l,500-mile trip into
space Thursday, exhibited their
ho-hum attitude last night
when they arrived here. Airport
hustle left them singularly un-
impressed.
While newsmen, photogra-
pliers and military personnel
watched them come off a four
engine transport, the monkeys
just played and munched food
inside their metal cages.

Star Science Writer

A high-ranking missile au-
thority said today the Army is
ready to fly a man in a Jupiter
''with complete faith in our
ability to accomplish the mis-
sion successfully"
Col. C. @. Patterson, who was
q member of the Huntsville
tAla.) Arsenal team that de-
veloped the Redstone and Jupi-
ter missiles. made the state
ment in commenting on the
monkey mission" flown by a
Jupiter from Cape Canaveral,
Fla, early Thursday. He said
the shot was completely sue
cessful and the Jupiter went
where we wanted it to and
when we wanted it to-"
The colonel, who has been q
member of the Army's research
and development Office since
his transfer from Huntsville
last April. said security pre-
vented an exact statement of

Gin no way whatsoever" did the
shot fall short Of expectations.
From other sources it was
learned that the Jupiter nose
cone landed in the Atlantic
Ocean "only several hundred
feet" from its predicted i'm
pact point. 1t was reported re-
liably also that the three Navy
recovery vessels were stationed
in a triangle only about 10 miles
on a side and the nose cone
hit the water inside the
triangle.
Col. Patterson predicted that

The Jupiter missile used
Thursday was a "stock" pro-
duction model, Col. Patterson
said. It was assembled at
Huntsville, however, rather
than at the Crysler Corp. mis-
siles plant outside Detroit where
all Jupiter production shortly

The colonel said the "tacti-
cal version" Of the Jupiter was

pensive we don't fire them
without having tactical troops
around to benefit from the ex-
perience," he explained.
Exact cost figures for the
Jupiter are classified, but talk
in the missile industry places
the present unit price at
around 81 million.
In addition to the cost of
its missile. the Army obtained
$4,000 from National Aero
nautics and Space Administra-
ton for work in conjunction
with the monkey experiments.

everyone now openly admits
are q waste of time, seem likely
to cancel out whatever prog
ress toward agreement is made
in private.
Progress Slight
So far, to be sure, this prog
ress has been very small indeed.
In their meeting yesterday at
the British headquarters the
ministers continued the discus
sion about Berlin that had
started earlier in the course of
their transatlantic flight. At
the end of the session neither
side had budged perceptibly
from its oening arguments or
gained q clearer idea of pos
sible terms for an agreement.
Russian Foreign Minister
Gromyko, it is said, gives the
impression that he is prepared
to fight out the argument on
the line laid down by Premier
Khrushchev if it take all sum-
mer.
Pointing to the abnormal
| ity" of the situation in West
Berlin and the anachronisms
of the occupation statute, he
offers the West its choice be-
tween three unpalatable alter
natives. If they do not accept
the preferred Russian solution
| of a free and demilitarized
city," they either replace their
troops with neutral forces" or
else invite the Russians over to
help them protect their sector,
For their part. the allies are
standing pat on the status quo,
arguing their right to remain
in Berlin while offering to dis
cuss any particular features Of
their occupation which the
Russians find disagreeable.
There was apparently little dis
cussion yesterday Of the allied
proposal for holding elections in
both East and West Berlin to

no intention of giving up their
rights in West Berlin or their
lifelines to the isolated free
bastion ITO miles inside the
Communist orbit.
American officials said they
assumed Mr.. Gromyko wants
to propose the Soviet plan for
the future of Berlin. Several
days ago he indicated he IN.
tended to introduce it soon.
A return to secret diplomacy
was assured, however. for Mr.,
Gromyko has invited the three
Western ministers and a linn
tied group of their advisers to
dine with him tonight.
These private discussions SC
far have amounted only to dip
lomatic probing operations.
Herter's Warning Recalled
In the first two private ses-
sions-on the flight back from
the Dulles funeral in Wash
ington and yesterday at British
Foreign Secretary Selwyn
Lloyd's villa-the West tried
to find out how much the
Soviets would be willing to re-
lax their pressure on Berlin.
The Western ministers re-
portedly argued that since Mr.
Khrushchev triggered the crisis
last November the first move
here toward putting an end to
it is up to Mr.. Gromyko.
Mr.. Herter especially has
warned that unless the Soviet
threat is suspended there will
be no summit gathering.
Diplomats informed on these

formally presenting Soviet
Premier Nikita Khrushchev's
six-month-old demand that the
West agree to make Berlin a
free city.
Some informants said Mr..
Gromyko limited at a possible
compromise of the Berlin prob
lem, saying that If the Big
-Four put their minds to the
problem they may be able to
find an acceptable solution.
First Saturday Session
Secret talks with Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrea A.
Gromyko have so far failed to
remove the Berlin issue as a
barrier to a acknowledgements
ment meeting.
But Western officials think 1t
likely Mr.. Gromyko will get
new instructions before the Big
Four ministers conference here
ends.
Less than 48 hours after
going into secret negotiations,
the ministers were back today
in the semipublic stage in the
Palace of Nations at the re-
quest of the Russians.
The formal session is their
first on a Saturday.
Expect New Demand

State Herter and his British
and French allies expect q new
demand by Mr.. Gromyko for

A Day With
 Khrushchev At A Typical Farm
By SAUL PETIT

COON RAPIDS, Iowa, R-Oleg Troyanovsky is back in action as Nikita Khrushchev's No. l trans lator, thus spiking runors he was getting his own television show.
 Roswell (call me Bob GarSt, the Noel Coward of Coon Rapids and Khrushchev's host, eXuded a loud, hearty friendliness once he got the Soviet leader to his own house.
 Garst hovered over Khrushchev everywhere, like Perle Mesta with the prize social catch of the year. Several times, as he intro duced his guest to his neighbors, Garst said of the master of the Kremlin, At last, I've got him where I want him"
 If only Eisenhower could say the same.
 In uproar all day, Garst's farm looked like movie set. Soldiers with carbines at the ready guard ed the hilltops, barnyards, en- frances, Mrs. Garst's garden and even lurked in the rows of corn.
 Photographers, reporters a n d TV men with mountains of equip ment swarmed everywhere, scar ing the sparrows out of the wal nut trees, giving the livestock the shakes and thoroughly dismaying the hired hands who would have to clean up.
 It was just another typical day on typical farm. Khrusnchev fed a typical old fashioned farm lunch of baked ham, fried chicken and barbecued ribs catered from Des Moines. He was ushered into a typical old fashioned farm living room with wall to wall carpeting. He paused at a typical old fash toned outdoor bar loaded with vodka and whisky, which was near a typical old fashioned swim ming pool.
 Examining Garst's corn, Nikita told his host:
 ''Too much stalk, not enough corn," which is something nobody could accuse Khrushchev of cTIRSCRTRE T0 THE NTTCcET
