Each health plan has at
least one or two features which
are more liberal than compet-

lures may be geared to your
particular needs.
CSC officials suggest that

termine which one would be
best for them depending on
their particular set Of circum-
stances.
Various factors such as age

or married. number Of children.
family health needs and the
premium payments required
should be carefully evaluated.
All the plans include such
base benefits as medical ex-
penses. surgery and at-home
nursing care.
The plans offer in varying
degree supplemental or emaj-
or" health insurance benefits
after the basic benefits have

low-cption plan provision Of
the Service Benefit Plan Blue

Other features of the plans:
l. Both Government wide
plans provide no waiting period
for maternity benefits.
2. Both also provide for
mental illness and tuberculosis,
although the blues" program
limits this care to 80 days hos
pitalization for the high-option

seemed to be expressing gen.
eral agreement with the idea
that the Berlin question could
be deferred rather than laying
down any specific timetable for
its solution.
His threat Of signing q sep

tone than usual.
Such an alternative. Mr..

desirable in our mind" but II.

understanding with other
powers, Russia were led" to
sign such a separate treaty "all

Even West German Chancel-
lor Adenauer, Mr.. Khrushchev's
favorite whipping boy in the
course Of his current outing,
got on relatively easy today.
The Soviet leader said he would
be willing to meet with the
Chancellor because all such

These answers, it should be
emphasized. were drawn from
Mr.. Khrushchev only by direct
questions. In bis own statements
he stuck f1rrnly to such safely
non-contorversial subjects as
the charm Of France and the
accomplishments of Russia.
For most of those who heard
him today, Mr.. Khrushchev
seemed to be making a great
effort to leave behind him an
impression of benevolent sin

and patience.

were higher than ever. It
seemed that his attitude on
Berlin had mellowed noticeably.
Admittedly 1t was mostly o
question Of emphasis. But in his
answers, Mr.. Khrushchev made
it clear that in his mind the
question Of disarmament took
precedence over Berlin, at least
so far as timing was concerned.
There was even a hint that the
Berlin question might be de-
ferred until a later meeting.
The point was re-emphasised
in the televised speech which
followed. Without mentioning
Berlin, Mr.. Khrushchev declared
that his people were deter
mined to achieve universal and
complete disarmament"
I'VE want the coming summit
conference to help eliminate
stumbling blocks accumulated
during the cold war" he added.
Would Defer Berlin
Asked during the conference
whether the problem Of Berlin
could be subordinated to dis
armament. Mr.. Khrushchev re-
piled that the two matters were
quite separate.
"AS to which of these prob
lens should be taken up first
at the summit conference this
would depend on the time, f"
he declared. IF we could
reach an understanding on dis
armament in May, for example,
and agree on q German peace

would be quite acceptable"

President Signs
Two Money Bills

residen Eisenhower has
signed a 81 billion public works
appropriation bill similar to
one he vetoed a year ago.
The measure provides money
to be used by Army Engineers
and the reclamation bureau in
planning and building various
water projects in virtually all
states. The biggest chunk,
about $2.6 billion, goes to the
Atomic Energy Commission.
A year ago Mr.. Eisenhower
vetoed the annual public works
bill because he objected to
money being included to start
many new water projects.
Congress enacted the bill over
his veto.
The President also has signed
a bill appropriating $4,354,170,-
331 to finance the Labor De-
partment an dthe Department
of Health, Education and We'll

Diplomats feared the u. N.

store order in the chaotic new
republic unless the Lumumba
forces were somehow disarmed.
This was seen as highly un-
likely since the fiery Premier
is determined to use troops to
quell opposition in rebellious
Katanga and KasaI Provinces.
These observers noted that
Mr.. Lumumba was hewing
straight to the line that usually
leads to a Communist-style die
tatorship. His regime has been
suppressing newspapers, ban
ming political meetings and
using troops and police to ar
rest political opposition. Soviet
advisers have also been pouring

Finn Workers
Give Red Chief
Cool Greeting

HELSINKI. Finland, Sept 8
(AP).-Nikita s. Khrushchev
toured a Finnish electric tur-
bine plant today and got q
stand-offish reception.
The Soviet Premier went to
one of Finland's finest plants,
the Stromberg Electric Works
just outside the capital.
Firms told foreign corre-
spondents with the Khrushchev
party that the people normally
didn't show much animation.
And they didn't today. Only
at the end of Mr.. Khru-
shchev's trip through the plant
did a relatively large group
perhaps a hundred or more
gather on landing and STAIR
case to see him leave.
They were silent.
Mr.. Khrushchev seemed dis

Mr.. Khrushchev, making his
way through the crowd of a
hundred correspondents and
photographers jammed into a
tiny corridor, walked over and
shook hands with the thin,
graying blond workman, named
Oleg Sidorov.
The Soviet Premier told him
that Russia was producing so
million tons of steel this year,
would produced II million tons
next year, and by 1880 would
produce 240 million tons.

mented Mr.. Sidorov, who ap-
peared all aglow at speaking to
the Soviet leader.

that doesn't take very much,

Plans Space Train"
A moment later he COM
mented that the Soviet Union
had as a project in its space
program the sending of a train
into the cosmos. He made no
further explanation, and no.
body had an opportunity to
question him as to what he
meant.
Some correspondents sup
posed that when he referred
to a train" to be sent into the
cosmos, he meant a train of
Sputniks. But he didn't give
any explanation of what he
meant by using go tons of steel
in the Sputnik program.
The last big Sputnik which
went UP August 18 to take two
dogs and an additional menag-
erie into orbit around the
world weighed only S tons. This
included a mass Of electronics,
