Khrushchev
Offers New
Arms Plan

MOSCOW, June 2 (AP).-
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
made new disarmament pro-
poSals today to all nations, East
and West.
The text of a letter carrying
the proposals was to be given
out later but it was understood
to- contain more precise details
for disarmament year by year
than were given last fall by
Khrushchev at the United Ma
tionS.
At that time, concluding his
American visit, he proposed
that complete disarmament be
achieved in four years. Infor-
nation here was that the new
proposals had been made in
personal letters to the heads of
all foreign nations represented
here.
Those with no diplomatic re-
lations with the Soviet Union
will be informed through the
United Nations.
The proposals are reported
to call for suppression of all
means of delivering nuclear
weapons, including both rockets
and long-range bombers, to be
accomplished stage by stage.
Ambassadors were summoned
to the Foreign Office to receive
the communication, an eight
page letter.
Correspondents yesterday re-
ceived invitations to a news
conference to be held tomorrow
in the Kremlin. It seems likely
the subject will be the new dis
armament proposals.

The Federal Drug Admins
tration has become mere tool
of the drug industry and often
overlooks public safety, a doc
tor who resigned in disgust
charged today.
DR.. Barbara Moulton, who
quit in February after five

the FDA has lost most of "the
crusading spirit it once pos
seSsed and has become
merely a service bureau for in
dustry."
Key officials, she said,
must be removed because of
too many years in close asso-
citation with the industries they
should regulate. They have, she
added, been 'brainwashed" by
the producers of new drugs.

peared likely in a bitter contract
dispute between Actors Equity

tend they are bargaining as a

one is a strike against all.

would be filed against Equity.

DC. Suffrage
For President
Reaches Floor
House Action Due
Within Weeks
On Amendment
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star STAFF Writer

A District suffrage proposal,
carefully groomed in commit
tee for passage, reached the
House floor today.
1t would permit Washington
residents to vote for President
and Vice President for the first
time in 100 years.
A House vote-the first in
history on this issue-is ex-
pected within weeks.
In it's formal report to the
House, the Judiciary Commit
tee recommended a conStitu-
tional amendment stripped of
potentially controversial fea-
lures.
AS reported, the amendment
does not permit the District to
be represented in the House.
The Senate in February ap-
proved a similar amendment
including District delegates to
the House.
The House amendment would
allow the District no more
presidential electors than the
'least populous State" This
would limit the Capital to three
electors now. The Senate ver-
sion fixed the number of elec-
tors by a population formula
used in all States.
Separate Legislation
The amendment setting up
national elections is entirely
separate from home rule legis-
lation, the committee report
stressed.
Com m tteemen substituted
the District voting proposal for
a three-pronged amendment
cleared by the Senate. Thus,
the House committee saved
District suffrage and killed the
other two parts-elimination
of the poll tax as a bar to
voting and authorization for
State Governors to fill House
vacancies.
Committee Chairman Celler,
Democrat of New York, said he
hoped the District resolution
would clear the House Rules
Committee by next week. The
Rules Committee sets floor
time for debate.
No Minority Report
Mr.. Celler was optimistic
about House passage. Chances
were improved by the absence
of a minority report from the
committee, although Mr.. Gel
Ter, who sponsored the original
District voting measure, invited
members to file one.

minority member, also a suf-
