Star Staff Writer

A Soviet editor has accused
the New York Times Of being
a scandal sheet.
Readers of the good, gray
daily may be surprised, but ac-
cording to Aleksei Adjubey, edi-
tor of the Soviet daily, Izvestia,
it is banned in the Soviet
Union because it prints too
much news about murder and
love scandal, two subjects
which do not interest Russians.
Mr.. Adjubey, who is Nikita
Khrushchev's son-in-law, made
his charge last night on "Na-
tion's Future" an NBC-TV pro-
gram taped in New York. Har-
rison Salisbury, a reporter for
the Times, who also partici-
pated, said it was the first time
he had heard such q complaint
about his paper, which some
subscribers feel, doesn't print
enough spicy fare.
Other Participants
Pierre Salinger. President
Kennedy's press secretary, and
Mikhail Kharlamov, press Of
ficer Of the Soviet Foreign Min
istry, were the other par
Elephants in the East-West sum-
NIT press parley, which was
supposed to consider "the role
of the press and its contribu-
ton to world peace and un-
derstanding."
It quickly became a debate,
with the SovietS insisting press
restrictions would be lifted If
United States-Russian relations
improved and the Americans
countering that relations be-
tween the countries would be
better If there were more ex-
change Of information.
Mr.. Adjubey said that Gov
ernment run Soviet papers
print only inspiring" stories
about humanity, gallantry
and sincerity" When he ran
a Sunday story about the
Marilyn Monroe-Arthur Miller
divorce, (because he likes Ar
thur Miller), he got indignant
letters from subscribers saying,
stop printing this nonsense.
Stop spelling American-Soviet
relations"
Sensational in Other Ways
American papers are sensa-
tional in other ways, too, Mr..
Adjubey said. displaying some
of his father-in-law's gifts for
propaganda.
I'VE have been surprised by
headlines in American papers
about a Russian ultimatum on
Berlin. Do you read in Soviet
papers anywhere that we will
have to fight Americans? No.

Russian Editor Says

Iconstructive-is never conveyed
to the American people. We
want West Berlin to be q free
city. I am happy with Dean
Rusk's statement. He said it was
not an ultimatum. The Ameri-
can press should keep its shirt
on. I could telephone Izvestia
and say Rockets ready. We go
to war against America But I
wouldn't. I have three chill
dren."
Mr.. Salinger said he thought
the American people under
stood what Mr.. Khrushchev
had said about Berlin.
Adjubey Has Complaint
Mr.. Adjuhey complained that
he had been subject to restric-
tionS in this country. His visa
was stamped only for New York,
in fact only for the place where
the broadcast originated.
He said such restrictions
would disappear on both sides
If the SovietS and Americans
signed a disarmament with -
controls agreement.
Join the Warsaw Pact" he
said. land we will have no Sc
crets."
Mr.. Kharlamov challenged
the United States to invite Cos
monaut Gagarin over here "and
ask him any questions you
wish"
Mr.. Adjubey said that If
Gagarin's space trip failed, it
would have been reported in
the Soviet press. His takeoff
was broadcast, Mr.. Adjubey
said, and further proof that
there was a possibility of fail
ure was noted by Chairman
Khrushchev himself when he
greeted Gagarin's wife in Red
Square and told her she was a
gallant woman because she had
not known if she would ever see
her husband again.
Mr.. Salinger admitted to Mr..
Adjubey that some misinforma-
ton about the U.S.S.R. was
published here but said it was
"the product of your own Sc
crecy."

he accused the committee of

After Mr.. CaStro's rejection,
the committee announced it

lection "has made impossible a

neged on his offer.
Against this background,
there was a report Of a tele-

tive Of one Of the prisoners in
Miami with another relative in
Cuba, in which Mr.. Castro was
quoted as having said last night
that his greatest desire was to
bring the negotiations to q

Roosevelt, who served as a CO.

no comment on the second trip

Geneva Talks DeadIOcked
One Of the most important
reasons for resuming nuclear

Senator said. That is to broad
en- the base for further weapons
development.
Some of the greatest dis
coveries in science occurred not
in pursuit Of q stated objective
but in accidental discoveries

be far more important" Sena-

Geneva negotiations with the
Soviet Union and Britain on
a nuclear test ban are dead
locked over Soviet insistence on
a veto over the inspection sys-
tenn.
The United States will not
accept the Soviet proposal for

the control system, with one
man each from the Soviet bloc,
the Western powers and un-
committed nations.
The Soviet Union has sug-
gested merging the nuclear test

SionS on general disarmament
but the United States opposes
the idea.

unions appeal and the injunc-

116 days.
1T has been apparent and
it still is obvious" Mr.. Gold
berg said. that existing laws
do not equip the executive

weapons to deal with problems
Of this character"
He said the administration
will recommend revisions OF
the law on national emergency
strikes.
UnionistS complain that the
80-day injunction is one-sided,
favoring management. Mr..
Kennedy declared during last
falls campaign that the in
junctive procedure is too pre-
dictable and tends to discour-
age collective bargaining.
6O-Day Truce Offered
1t would be better, he said
then, to keep labor and man
agement guessing by giving
the President a wide choice of
strike = settling weapons, in
Guiding mediation, fact-find-
ing, seizure, arbitration in
functions and also the right to
do nothing.
Mr.. Goldberg last Thursday
made a move in keeping with
this philosophy. proposing a
voluntary truce in the
strike and establishment Of a
panel to recon-
mend settlement terms. Man.
agement accepted the proposal
but the unions rejected it,
flatly in some cases and con-
diticnally in others.
Although the Government is
toward an Injunction,
he said. labor and management
still have the duty to continue
bargaining. He said Federal
mediators will remain in New
York, available to help nego-
tiationS.
Joseph Curran, president of
the National Maritime Union,
said an Injunction would not
solve the dispute but would re-
suit only in heating up" the
situation for 80 days, the As
Sociated Press reported from
New York.
He said "it would be a lot
more constructive If the Presi-
dent would use his powers to
persuade the ship owners to
bargain in good faith"
Ralph E. Casey, president of
the American Merchant Marine
Institute, said he regretted that
The unions actions have "nec-
