United States would have to

Reminded of the many
cases involving Soviet spying
in this country, the Bulgarian
asked why, if the Massach-
usettS spy story reported by
Mr.. Nixon on Wednesday was
true, was it not told at the
time it happened?
And so the argument con-
tinued but it never bordered
on the angry. Communists
seem to like a good heated
discussion. Disagreement is
not disturbing because they
do not, from the outset, ex-
pect to agree.
One Russian diplomat said
the Embassy had been issu-

EXCLUSIVELY YOURS
Soviet Attitude Friendly at Party
BY BETTY BEALE
Star star Writer

Either the Soviet and
satellite diplomats haven't
gotten the word yet, or
there's to be no lessening of
friendly relations toward
Washingtonians despite the
U-2 and summit sequences.
Guests at the small party
at the Soviet Embassy yes
terday were greeted by smil-
ing hosts and honor guest
and so far as the Americans
present could tell, there was
no difference whatsoever be-
tween the atmosphere at this
gathering and any pre-sum-
init ones since the spirit of
Geneva" The invitations, in
cidentally, had been sent out
before the summit explosions.
SOVIET COUNSELOR
MIKHAIL SMIRNOVSKY,
Charge d'Affaires in the abb
sence of Ambassador Menshi-
kov, who accompanied Pre-
mier KhruShchev to Paris,
was host with his wife at a
6-to-8 cocktail party in honor
of their distinguished visitor,
Nina v. Popova.
Mrs. Popova is a blue-eSed,
rown-haired, plump woman
with rather fine facial fea-
lures and q title longer than
she is. She is chairman of
the presidium of the Union
Of Soviet Societies for Friend
ship and Cultural Relations
with Foreign Countries.
Asked if she thought the
events of the past few days
would interfere with friendly
and cultural relations with
the United States, she replied
through an interpreter that
she was optimistic. She re-
ferred to Mr.. Khrushchev's
last statement in Paris when
he reiterated the policy Of
peaceful coexistence. She
is for continued cultural ex-
change and she very pleas
antly urged her questioner
to come to Russia and see for
herself and write about it.
When it was pointed out
that her job might be much
easier If there was a free
exchange of literature be-
tween our two countries, she
replied that they have Ameri-
can books over there but
there had to be a censorship
because they have a law that
prohibits propagandizing for
war.
Obviously any books that
criticized their system or
their heads of government
would be termed war propa-
ganda. The American belief
in the freedom to criticize
was explained to Nine.
Popova but it seemed to pro-
duce only a friendly smile.

30-Foot Grant Club
Reminds of Custom

AKRON, N. Y. AP.-A re-
minder of the popular political
campaign custom of pole-rais-
ing stands about a mile from
here at the intersection Of
Routes 5 and SO.
1t is the Grant Club, a 30
foot-high oak pole. In the late
180Os and early 19OOs, it was a
custom to bring a pole from q
nearby woods and hoist it into
place while bands played and
crowds sang. 1t usually bore a
banner with the candidates
names.
The original Grant Club was
erected in 1872, but decorated,
and another was put up in 1904.
1t serves now as a guide post
on the routes to the village Of
Akron.

Clerks and the Telegraphers,
ask wage increases of Is cents
an hour. Management wants
to cut their wages by 20 cents.
Negotiations between the
railroads and the non-operat-
ing unions are in recess, and
have not yet reached a crucial
stage. The Engineers and Fire
men have broken of wage ne
gotiations, and the other three
operating unions are close to
the break-off point.
Procedures Outlined
After negotiations break
down. disputes may go to ar
bitration by mutual agreement.
In the absence of arbitration,
the National Mediation Board
refers disputes to the President,
who appoints an emergency
fact finding board.
Strikes and lockouts are
barred during hearings by the
emergency board, which last
80 days by law and may be ex-
tended. After the board recon-
mends a settlement. work stop
pages are barred for 80 more
days while the Mediation Board
renews its peace efforts.
This timetable probably
would prevent a strike over
wages until about May OF
June. and many close observ-
ers expect settlement of wage
disputes before then by arbi-
tration or on the basis OF
recommendations by an emer-
gency board. Arbitration of the
engineers demands may estab-
liSh a wage pattern for other
rail unions.

Union and management
sources hint strongly that they
will accept recommendations

Willingness to compromise
showed up clearly last week
when the railroads and the

The pendulum is swinging

Developments in the next

pendulum back again but, at

Hope is rising despite the

Between Kitty Hawk and

From Dam Neck Mills to Cor
rolla, he says. surf fishing can
be expected to produce some
whiting. spot, croakers, floun-
ders and bluefish in the spring
and fall but generally, due to
the fiat shelving beach and
lack of sloughs, the fishing is
mediocre.
From Corrolla to Cofiee's In

sloughs appear after northeast
storms but generally disappear
within q few days.
More important, all of the

Spring officially arrived in

need go only a short distance
for spring skiing"
A report from Cabin Noun
tain. Davis, w. Va, indicates
that more than 5 inches of new
powder fell during the week
end; temperatures remained
below freezing, and superb ski
