Atlantic Storm AbateS After Taking Heavy Toll

CHARLESTON, s. C., R - Tropical storm Oracle, no longer a hurricane, plodded slowly across western North Carolina today. While her winds had diminished to gusty squalls with top of 50 miles an hour, her heavy rains threatened dangerous flooding.

Ike Bluntly Hopes For Steel Accord Before October 8
By NORMAN WALKER

WASHINGTON, tR- President Eisenhower today set an appar- ent deadline of Oct. for pro gress toward settlement in the . steel strike. The antagonists promptly arranged to resume talks this afternoon.
 The agreement to get back to the bargaining table came within minutes after the close of sep arate sessions with industry and union leaders in which Eisen- hover figuratively knocked heads together.
 The President met first with leading steel company executives headed by Roger M. Blough, US. Steel Corp. chairman, then with union leaders headed by David J. McDonald, president of the United Steel Workers.
 He called on them to renew negotiations looking toward a voluntary settlement of the 78- day-old strike that would be fair and just to everyone concerned, including the public.
 q sincerely hope" the Presi- dent said in a statement after ward, that an agreement can be initiated before my return to Washington next week" He is due back Oct. 8 from a trip to Palm Springs, Calif., to seek relief from a lingering cold.
 Eisenhower was reported on good authority to have used blunt, powerful language both to the management and union delega- tions-about as strong language as Mondays news conference when he said he and the Ameri- can people are sick and tired of the apparent impasse.
 But so far as public statements were concerned, the principal op- ponents showed no signs of shift ing position or of confidently ex- pecting uick results.

800 million dollars in final settle ment of Soviet obligations of war time lend-lease aid which to- tailed around 212 billion dollars
 The Soviet government, in pro longed negotiations begun soon after the end of World War II, offered 300 million dollars. The two countries finally deadlocked over the gap and negotiations have been inactive for several years
 Dillon discussed several actions which the United States might take if there is a lend-lease set clement - which he now seems tor consider entirely possible.
 This government, he indicated, may lift it's embargo against crab meat from the Soviet Union, may ask Congress to remove the ban on Soviet furs and may seek legislation permitting the Soviets to obtain credits here from pri- vate sources. Such credits are now barred because of RusSia's default on unpaid debts the Soviet gov ernment inherited from the pre- revolutionary Kerensky regime.

Taxpayers Pick Up '$l5O,OOO Tab for
 Entertaining MT. K.

WASHINGTON, LR m The bill for Nikita Khrushchev's 13-day American visit: about $150,O00. Who pays? John Q. Taxpayer.
 The figures aren't completely added up yet, but officials respon- sible for such things are sure the Soviet Premier's state visit was the costliest yet.
 The usual state visit, complete with nationwide tour, costs the government well under $100,000.
 But Khrushchev's trek set a number of records. His party in cluded n persons, larger than av- craze. He was protected by the most elaborate security forces ever provided a foreign guest in this country They included federal men, military units, and state and local police.
 The government paid expenses too for about 40 Americans who travelled with the party or ahead of it to smooth the way. Cities and private groups paid the tab for some of the dinners and cere- monies.
 The State Department declined to furnish any cost figures during the tour, on the ground that you don't invite a guest to banquet and then tell him what it is costing you.

Russian Fisheries Want US. to Swap Salmon Secrets

JUNEAU, LR "A group of So- viet fishing experts has urged that the United States and Russia ex- change scientific data relating to North Pacific salmon.
 The Russian group arrived here yesterday to begin a 13-day tour of the states fisheries.
 They told a news conference that Russian salmon catches in the Kamchatka region fell off to a total of 14,OOO tons in 1858 from previous years in which produc ton amounted to 150,0O0 tons.
 Andria Gaidukov, chief of the section of Fishery Economics and Production and head of the party, said the decline was due to ex- cessive fishing by the Japanese, ," He added:
 Que to certain measures taken this year we were able to get about 5O,O0O tons."
 Therefore, The said, Tit is ob- vious that we have to get greater cooperation between the scientists of the U.S.SR. and the United States to bring back production to the previous level and possibly increase it."
 The Russian complaints were similar to those voiced by some American authorities, who have blamed declining runs in Alaska's Bristol Bay on high seas catches by Japanese.
 Since then, Japan has volun- tarily restricted it's North Pacific operations, and runs heavier than expected came this year in far Western Alaska.
 The Russian group, visiting AL aska fisheries following a similar visit earlier by American author ities, said they would continue their Boring Sea trawling opera tions next year.
 But, asserted the Russians visi- tors, the Boring Sea work was only for bottom fish - mostly founder and cod-"and under no circumstances" would salmon op- erations begin on the high seas.

SOviets Told to Settle Lend-Lease Debt
 Before Seeking More American Trade

WASHINGTON, R - Soviet Premier Khrushchev was told on his visit here that if Russia settled it's lend-lease debt the United States would find it easier to wipe out trade barriers between the two countries.
 Under Secretary of State Dill lon reported this today in reply to reporters questions. He also said that Khrushchev registered strong objections during the Camp David talks to what he considered discrimination against the Soviet Union in American trade policies.
 It was quite clear in his talks with Khrushchev on trade prob lems, Dillon said, that when Khrushchev thought the Soviets were being treated like some form of outcast they did not like it a bit.
 He said the only agreement reached was one to negotiate on lend-lease settlement This ne gotiation probably will be started in a month or two.
