Some lay-offs and some price increases
would follow an increase in federal minimum
wage from ST to SIPS an hour and its ex-
tension to retail and service trades, mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States report.
Here are some of their replies to a ques-
tionnaire from the Nation Chamber:
A retail farm equipment dealer in Wy
oming would raise prices five per cent.
A retail grocer in North Dakota would
raise prices one per cent.
A department store in California would
boost prices two per cent.
An auto dealer in Illinois. would increase
prices five per cent.
A jeweler in Massachusetts would raise
prices five per cent.
A laundry and dry cleaning firm in New
Jersey would lay off Is out of 290 employees
to help offset a $4,000 wage increase.
A small hotel chain foresees an annual
wage increase of S975,00O requiring lay
offs of $50 of its 400 employees.
A department store in Ohio says the
legislation would add about 100000 to wage
costs, and that it would lay off 90 of its
1,500 employees

GE Cites Efforts
To Prevent More
Price-Fixinq

NEW YORK, Aug. 4 (AP).-
General Electric Co. is using
various policing methods to
guard against further price
fixing incidents but still isn't
sure further violations won't
occur. according to Ralph
Cordiner, chairman.
Mr.. Cordiner, made the
statement at a news conference
yesterday introducing GEES new
president, Gerald L. Philippe
and Cramer w. LaPierre, new
executive vice president.
Their appointments were
announced earlier this week.
It was Cordiner, however,
who attracted the questions
Asked if he believed no further
price-fixing violations will
occur, he answered:
II think any executive OF
any company would be foolish
to say positively yes The

experience is far more pene-
trating than before"
Questioned about the pos
sibility of retiring. the 81
year-old Mr.. Cordiner replied

Any earlier choice, he indicated

yer here was sharply inhib-
tied. Advisers who had hoped
for something more realistic
than discussions in the bland
Eisenhower style were beaten
at the starting post.
Mr.. Kennedy is patching
fences here, and If this does
not quite accord with the
brave words of his inaugural,
it still is idle to suggest that
much more than that is so
far involved.
There was never really
much chance that Gen. de
Gaulle would bend his stiff
neck to the young American
President; he never has to
anyone else. The great
Frenchman indeed, has in
public a slightly preoccupied
air, as well he might. During

ing, but is free to resume at
any time. The longer the
Soviet Union can keep the
United States from doing
any testing, the bigger the
advantage to the Commu-
nists. The scientists Of the
West are in disagreement as
to what can or cannot be
done with underground test
ing. Some say underground
tests cannot be detected,
that the Russians know this,
and that they are engaged
now in perfecting their
methods Of continuing their
underground testing.
The world may never
know whether a so-called
nuclear test ban Is being
faithfully adhered to by the
Russians, but it will know
that the United States dur
ing the long-drawn-out ne
gotiations has already given
up precious months in which
no testing has been done
either underground or in the
atmosphere.
What would cause great
uneaSiness throughout the
United States would be the
discovery that the Kennedy
administration had entered
into any secret understand
ing with the Communist gov
ernment in Moscow in the
last three months and that
the purpose Of the Vienna
meeting is to conSummate
such a deal.
If there has really been no
agreement on nuclear tests
or any other subject through
diplomatic channels in ad-
vance Of the Kennedy Khru-
shchev conference next week
end, the American people will
then have a right to be told
why the man who was elect
ed President of the United
States-largely by reason Of
the arguments presented by
him in the great debates"
on televiSion last autumn
went back on his promises.
At least, the public is entitled
to a frank explanation of the
reason for the change in Mr..
Kennedy's position within a
period Of seven months.

Kennedy Viewed as Mending Fences
With No ShowdoWns on the Aqendo
DORIS FLEESON

PARISH is already ap-
parent that there will be no
showdown here on the diff
ferences which divide the
United States and France.
The ceremonial powderpuff
was skilfuIly applied to the
opening hours Of the Ken
nedy-de Gaulle dialogue, and
barring the untoward Incl
dent, it will be the rule for
the entire visit.
President Kennedy seems
to have decided that he did
not care to face Soviet Pre-
mier Nikita Khrushchev
against a background of dis
unity with France, the key
stone of the Vests present
military effort. The brief
ings with informed officials
are off; the emphasis is on
harmony and the things on
which Western governments
agree.
There is little point in
belaboring substantive mat
ters unless and until respon-
sible officials speak up and
put themselves on record
about hard choices and ma
jor disputes. The whole world
knows by now about the
quaint paradox which finds
the French head of state de-
Tending nationalism against
an American President dedi-
Gated to international CO.
operation.
It is also hard to argue
with a decision not to make
any further contribution to
Soviet arrogance at Vienna.
Cuba was bad enough, and
its reflection has been all too
clearly seen at Geneva in
recent weeks in the Laos
negotiations and in the nu-
clear test ban Stalemate.
Once the President agreed
to see Mr.. Khrushchev after
calling on Gen. Charles de
Evening star., 1961-06-01

Has President Kennedy
gone back on his word-the
promise he gave to the more
than so million people who
watched the "great debates"
on television last autumn?
He has made no explanation
to the American people for
reversing the pledge of last
autumn when he said fatty
he would not meet with Nj
kita Khrushchev unless some
agreement on important sub
jects had been reached be-
forehand through diplomatic
channels. If there is such
an agreement now, no word
about it has been given to
the people of the United
States.
Here is what Mr.. Kennedy
said in the second debate of
the series with Vice Presi-
dent Nixon on October Z,
1860:
ION the question of the
summit I agree with the
position of Mr.. Nixon. I
would not meet Mr.. Khru-
shchev unless there were
some agreements at the sec
ondary level - foreign min
listers or ambassadorS-which
would indicate that the meet
ing would have some hope of
success. or useful exchange
of ideas"
Then, in the fourth de-
bate on october 81, 1860, Mr..
Kennedy said:
well, I think the Presi-
dent of the United States
last winter indicated that
before he'd go to the sum-
NIT in May. there should be
some agenda, that there
should be some prior agree
ment. He hoped that there
would be an agreement in
part on disarmament. He
also expressed the hope that
there should be some under
standing Of the general sit
uation in Berlin.
"The Soviet Union refused
to agree to that, and we went
to the summit and it was
disastrous.

Of their lives.
Yet, acting on orders from
the power structure to which
they are loyal, they become a
violent mob because of q
desegregated bus in inter-
state travel. There Is no
morality or sense in this.
So, the honest Southerner
must ask himself whether
the cities and the States,
knowing the law and the
constitution and refusing to
use this knowledge, are not
the real producers Of agita-
ton?

go to the summit until there
is some reason to believe
that a meeting Of minds can
be obtained on either Berlin,
outer space, or general dis
armament - including nu-
clear testing"
Has Mr.. Kennedy made
some secret deal with Pre-
mier Khrushchev? No init
nation Of 1t has been given
to members Of Congress, es-
pecially in any conferences
with the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committees ranking
members. There have been
rumorS around Washington,
however, that the Commun-
ist premier is planning to
make some concession in
connection with the nuclear-
test negotiations in exchange
for a continuance of the
present moratorium on tests.
One report is that he will
offer to give up the veto sys-
TEN which Russia has in
sisted upon heretofore ard
agree to negotiate a treaty
that will permit a limited
form Of inspection without
vetoes.
Certainly, any vital change
in the hitherto stagnant stu
alton over the nuclear-test
ban would be hailed as a big
victory for Mr.. Kennedy,
and 1t would be inferred
that some arrangement Of
this kind had been worked
out in advance. Actually,
withdrawal of the veto pro-
vision would not mean an
immediate agreement on any
of the other points raised
in the Geneva negotiations
on the nuclear-teSt ban. The
prospect is that the CONVEX
Sations which have already
been going on for several
years would keep on for a
long time to come.
Meanwhile, who gains the
real victory? The Soviets
have been trying to keep the
United States from doing any
testing. Without a formal
agreement. each side is sup
posed to refrain from test
