Delay Is Asked
On Rood BuiIdino

Opposition to further high
way building in the District at
the present time was expressed
by the Petworth Citizens Asso-
citation last night.
The association objected
especially to the projected inner
loop expressway which is
planned to encircle central
Washington. Mrs. Florence v.
Craver, association secretary,
said the objection was based on
a feeling that "the city should
not be torn up and people dis
located now"
The group also voted opposi-
ton to any system of computing
taxi rates that does not pro-
vide for inspection for accuracy.

know about high-yield weapons.
Since 1857 the United States
has had the technical know
how and the materials to pro-
duce bombs in the $4,000 mega
ton range and higher. But We
also know that such weapons
are not essential to our military
needs. Furthermore. full-scale
tests are not necessary to de-
velop 50-megaton bombs.
I'VE believe the peoples
throughout the world will join
us in asking the Soviet Union
not to proceed with a test
which can serve no legitimate
purpose and which adds a mass
of additional radioactive fall
out to that which has been I'M

An Atomic Energy Commits
sion spokesman. when asked
how much fallout would be
created by a 50-megaton blast.
replied there was no way to
make an accurate appraisal
since such a device had never
been tested. He said an esti-
mate would be only a guess, for
it was unknown how much po-
tential fallout material might
be contained in the bomb.
Former President Eisenhower
said yesterday that 50-mega-
ton bomb is "a very unnecessary
type of bomb to have. It's USE
fulness is limited compared to
its cost"

The United States has shelved
at least temporarily request
by Yugoslavia to buy 100000
tons Of surplus American
wheat.
State Department officials
indicated this was an out
growth of the displeasures Of
President Kennedy toward the
Tito government because of
pro-Soviet positions Yugoslavia
took at the recent Belgrade
conference Of Is unaligned ma
lions.
Officials said United States
Ambassador George F. Kennan
had outlined the policy of the
United Stat es Government
toward Yugoslavia in a meet
ing last week with Yugoslav
Vice President Mijalko Todoro-
vic in Belgrade.
Commitments Continued
The policy in effect continues
all present commitments by the
United States for economic
assistance but halts considera-
ton Of new programs.
Mr.. Kennan gave this an
,swer after having been asked
orally by Mr.. Todorovic to clar-
ify United States policy toward
Yugoslavis, officials said. Ear
lier it had been reported that
YuRoslavia sought clarified
tions through a formal note
rather than in an oral state
ment.
Belgrade has been asking
Washington to consider the
new request for the 100000
tons Of wheat but the contro-
versy in the United States over
the sale of surplus Sabre jet
planes has cooled American Of
ficials toward the request
There already had been sur
prise at the position President
Tito took at the Belgrade con-
ference while processing to be
unaligned.

Star Staff Writer

The White House sees no
conflict between President
Kennedy and former President
Eisenhower over the sale of
100 surplus F-86B Sabre jet
fighter planes to Yugoslavia.
White House Press Secre-
tary Pierre Salinger. making
this clear late yesterday. en-
phasized that aid to Yugo-
slavia has been on a nom
partisan basis" since 1949.
He recalled that President
Truman started the policy
continued by Presidents Eisen-
hover and Kennedy-of giving
or selling arms to Yugoslavia
after that Communist country
broke away from Soviet domin-
alton in 1913.
The principal reason for
arms and other assistance to
the Yugoslavs. Mr.. Sa1inger
stressed, has been to help Yug-
oslavia remain independent of
the Soviet-dominated Warsaw
Pact military alliance.
At a news conference yes
terday, Gen. Eisenhower re-
peated that the transaction was
in the best interests Of the
United States"
However, Senator Harry F.
BYRD. Democrat of Virginia,
called the deal fantastic" and
predicted that when this mat
ter is brought before Congress
the proceedings will be over
whelmingly repudiated."
Approval Date Given
Mr.. Salinger said the record
shows that the controversial
sale Of the 1870 Jet fighters to
Yugoslavia was approved by
the State Department on jan
uary Is, just four days before
Gen. Eisenhower moved out of
the White House and President
Kennedy moved in on January
20.
Mr.. Salinger said that Gen.
Eisenhower was correct in say
ing that he had not personally
briefed President Kennedy on
the matter.
But he added that through
Brig. Gen. Andrew j. Good
paster. his staff secretary. Gen.
Eisenhower left a list of items
that he thought should be
gone over with the incoming
administration"
One Of these items, Mr.. Sal
niger said. was the general
topic of military aid to Yug-
oslavia, including the sale Of
the jet fighters. He said Gen.
Goodpaster discussed this with
President ,Kennedy's military
aide. Mai. Gen. Chester v
Clifton.

ued the transaction approved

YugosIov Aid Called
A Nonportison Matter

by the State Department be-
fore his Inauguration for the
same reason that President Eli
senhower during his admins
tration either gave or sold hun
dreds of military aircraft to
the Yugoslav government-the
principal reason being main
tanning Yugoslavla independ-
ent from the Warsaw Pact mil
itary alliance" Mr.. Salinger
said.
Controversy over the sale
erupted after it became known
several days ago that the
United States is training eight
YugoSlav air force pilots at
Perrin Air Force Base in Texas
as part of a package deal when
the planes were sold.
In the meantime, President
Kennedy about a month ago
ordered a National Security
Council review of the entire
subject of aid to Yugoslavia.
Officials said there we're
many reasons for the review.
but that the predominant rea-
son was the actions of the Yur-
oSlav government at the recent
Belgrade conference on nom
aligned nations. at which Yug-
oslav spokesman took a pro-
Moscow line.
Chronology Of Sale
Mr.. Salinger gave a chron-
ology yesterday of how the
now-controversial sale Of the
100 F-86B jet fighters to Yug-
oslavia developed.
He said the Defense Depart
ment proposed the sale on Aug
ust rs, 1860. Then on october
IS the State Department asked
the Pentagon for further clari-
flying information. The Defense
Department complied with this
request in a memorandum to
the State Department on De-
cember IA. The State Depart
ment approved the sale on jan
uary Is, 1861. Mr.. Salinger said.
He added: Il know that Gen.
Eisenhower would not want to
give the impression that this
was the first time that jet
fighters either have been given
or sold to Yugoslavia"
He said the record shows that
in the period l952-1957. under
this Governments grant-in-aid
program, the following planes
were delivered to Yugoslavia:
43 F-86E jet fighters, 1863 F.
SAG Jet fighters, Al T-33 jet
trainers. l26 F-47 propeller
driven fighters and 20 CAT
transports.
After this grant program
ended. Mr.. Salinger said that
in 1858 and 1859 the United
States sold Yugoslavia 70 F-S6E
jet fighters and 10 TV2 jet
trainers. the Navy equivalent
Of the Air Force 1913 trainer.
