The United States regards as
another meaningless propa-
ganda gesture" Peiping's pro-
posal for pact by all Asian
and Pacific countries, including
the United States, to ban
atomic weapons.
State Department Press OFF,
Ger Lincoln White gave this
description yesterday of the
plan advanced by Communist
Chinese Premier Chou En-lai.
Mr.. White said the Peiping
regime has shown no sign of
abandoning belligerent policies
to join in any such agree
ment.
United States StrategiStS fig
ure the Red Chinese want to
rid free Asia of its nuclear
weapons so China's mass man
power could become an over
whelming military force.
Mr.. Chou made his proposal
at a reception at the Swiss
Embassy in Peiping.
The Red China Radio quoted
Mr.. Chou as saying:
I'VE advocate that the coun-
tries in Asia and around the
Pacific including the U. S. A.,
conclude a peace pact of mu-
tual nonaggression and turn

the whole of this area into a
nuclear-weapon-free area.
This is, of course, q direction
along which efforts are to be
made for a long time to come,
but we will exert unremitting
efforts for this"
Mr.. White said that the latest
report appears to be the same
propaganda made on a number
of occasions by Chinese Com
munist leaders during a period
marked by extreme Chinese
Communist belligerence includ-
ing aggression in Taiwan Strait,
savage repression of Tibet and
poisonous anti-American prop
aganda."
Mr. White pointed out that
the United States and Com
munist China have a means of
talking to each other through
the meetings of Ambassadors
of the two countries, held in
Warsaw.
"As of today there is no basis
whatsoever in these ambassa-
dorial talks with Communist
China for the hope that Peiping
will abandon its belligerence.
I'VE have been trying for five
years to get Communist China
to take the first. step in this
direction through renunciation
of the use of force in the Tai
wan Strait area" he said.

Used CarS-And Almost Anything Brings High Prices In New Delhi

NEW DELHI, LP - An Asian diplomat preparing to leave India agreed after some dickering to sell his 1860 Chevrolet to a New Delhi dealer for the equivalent of $13,800.
 Before the car could be handed over, another New Delhi dealer offered $15,300. The diplomat hesitated long enough to get a bid of $16,380 from a Bombay dealer. He then sold to the or iginal dealer, who by now was willing to pay $17,000
 The incident brought whistles even in city grown cynical thru years of wheeling and dealing by foreign diplomats. The Times of India figured the diplomat spent about $3,500 for the car including duties. He had kept the automo- bile six months.
 Under import controls, virtually all luxury goods are excluded from India's regular trade chan nels. As a result, departing dip lomats find a thirsty market for virtually all their possessions even used bathing suits.
 Until 1857 there were no re- strictions whatever, and some diplomats retailed a succession of automobiles. The government then began requiring permission before such sales. The general eff feet was to restrict each diplomat to the sale of one car for each two-year tour of duty.

Powers Trial Far Cry From Usual Soviet Justice
By JAMES HARLOW Associated Press News Analyst

1
 trouble with the spy trial of U2 pilot Francis G. Powers in Mos COW is that it is an anticlimaX. Now, even though it's getting world attention, the edge is off.
 The climax came in few wild and woody days last May when Premier Khrushchev trapped the State Department into denying and then admitting Powers was on a spy flight, then proceeded to wreck the summit conference and insult President Eisenhower.
 By then the major facts of the case were known. Powers him. self apparently had told the Rus sians all about his mission, and the State Department confirmed it. There was little left for him then but to plead guilty.
 Thus long before Powers trial began Wednesday there was no suprise left except one = what kind of sentence the Russians will hand him.
 By the time the trial started Powers had become-as he was all along-a very minor figure in the overall power struggle be- tween the United States and Rus sia.
 The real aim of the Russians in bringing him to trial at all was to try not him but his govern ment. The questions asked him Wednesday, and the answers he gave, made this plain enough.
 The Russians so maneuvered the questioning so that he appear ed not as some sinister figure peering down on Russia from 65,OO0 feet but as kind of mech anical man who was simply car rying out orders when he crossed the Soviet frontier.
 Eisenhower at his news con- ference Wednesday indignantly rejected the idea that the Am erican government is on trial in Moscow. But such a rejection has nothing to do with the reality of the situation.
 Powers himself, under Russian questioning, represented himself as a young man who had no choice but to do what he was told, although he said he had no sto- mach for spying at all.
 Thus the Russians built up their case against the American gov ernment for sending Powers over Russia. Powers himself was pie tured as young man from a poor background who happened to land a well-paying job: $30,000 year.
 The Moscow radio was depict ing him as a tool of the US. moneyed interests.
 In the very course of trying Powers the Russians, besides making anti American propa- ganda worldwide, were also try ing to create good propaganda for themselves by the way they han dled the flier.
 Preston Grover, Associated Press reporter covering the trial, said of the way Powers was being handled by the prosecutor: Spec tators who have watched Ameri- can courts could hardly consider l it a brow-beating type" , This is in contrast to the re- collection the rest of the world has about Soviet justice, at least as it used to be. The purge trials of fellow Russians by Stalin in the l930s were among the most infamous in history.

River Recreation Center

Opening of Washington's new Water
Sports Center on the Potomac River
near the mouth of Rock Creek will slim
ulate use of the river for small boating
recreation of all kinds-especially COL
legiate and scholastic. The city long
has been in need of modern waterfront
facilities of this kind.
There is only one drawback to full
exploitation of the center's potentialities
in the field of water sports. This is the
contamination of the river by sewage
and other wastes. Swimming contests,
for example, will not be possible until
the Potomac is much cleaner than it is
today Fortunately, however, Washington
and nearby communities are moving
rapidly to curb pollution and make the
river safer and more pleasant for water
sports generally. And the new center
should prove helpful in mobilizing sup
port for effective measures to make the
Potomac a recreational asset of which
the whole Metropolitan Area may be
proud.
