KhrushcheV View
On Berlin Troops
Fails to Stir U. S.
By the Associated Press

Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
expressed willingness to have
United Nations troops take over
West Berlin on an interim basis
brought a negative response
from United States authorities
last night.
The State Department de-
clined official comment pend
ing receipt of the text of Mr..
Khrushchev's Moscow remarks
made during the celebration
for RuSSia'S two latest space
men, but officials showed no
reluctance to tell newsmen pri-
vately that they saw little new
in Mr.. Khrushchev's proposal.
One way or the other United
States officials said Mr.. Krush-
chew is still seeking to GUST
Western troops from West Ber-
Inland this is an item not
negotiable for the West.
United States authorities
noted that once again Mr..
Khrushchev set no deadline for
the conclusion of q peace
treaty with Communist East
Germany.

Womun's Death
Clues SOUGHT

Park police Investigators last
night were trying to trace the
activities of a 34-year-old di-
vorcee in the hours before her
body was found on Suitland
parkway early yesterday.
The Prince Georges County
coroner's office said the victim,
Mrs. Marguerite Hansborough
of the 600 block of Morris place
NE. probably died of brain
injuries. An autopsy report re-
vealed, however, that she could
possibly have died from any
number of severe injuries.
Police said that Mrs. Hans
borough was found by C. j.
Mechels, % Of Camp Springs
Md, who was unable to stop
his car in time to avoid hitting
her.
Tiremarks on the body in
dictaed that the victim was
run over at least once before
Mr.. Mechels' arrival, police
said.

The only hope, it would seem.
for the anguished anti-digit-
dialers lies in one little para
graph in the International

company's plans for eventual
re-design of its chosen instru-
ment, doing away with the dial
entirely and substituting push
buttons.
AS any mathematician or
even a juke-box player-can
tell you, mixing letters and
numbers on a push-button dial
would give a practically limit
less number of combinations:
6.760 two-letter exchanges and
1876 three-letter exchanges.
The only trouble with that,
OF course. is that by the time
the push buttons come into
use. telephone users will have
forgotten their alphabets, and
they'd be calling the telephone

such an unthinkable innovation

Deutschland said nothing about

That could be just vanity on
the part of the Red regime
1t could also mean that the
German Communists were try
ing to put through political
action an dthat Mr.. Khru-
shchev was less interested.
Since August 4 there has
been no word Of Mr.. Ulbricht

khrushchev is back in Moscow.
Plans U. S. Trip
Authoritative predictions have
been heard that Mr.. Khru-
shchev will go to the United
Nations General Assembly meet
ing this fall. Speculation fol-
lowed in Moscow that he might
sign a separate peace treaty
with Mr.. Ulbricht and then try
to get U. N. approval.
The prevailing opinion In
West Berlin is that Mr.. Khru.
shchev would sign a treaty only
after calling a peace confer
ence."
Like all forecasts about Soviet
Union action. these are subject
to hedging.
The Communists could sign
their peace treaty any day-or
produce one and say they signed
1t last week. Or they could make
a concrete move such as turn
ing over control Of the highway
between West Berlin and West
Germany to Mr.. Ulbrecht's
regime.
Last year also Mr.. Ulbricht
made a midsummer trip to the
Soviet Unian. Two weeks later
the Communists closed the Ber-
lin zonal border and began
building the wall.

Probe Urged
Into Russian
Space Threat

Senator Wiley, Republican of
Wisconsin, urged yesterday that
Congress conduct hearings be-
fore adjournment into the
military potential of Russia's
success in putting two cosmo-
nauts into space at the same
time.
Senator Wiley, ranking Re-
publican on the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee, said the dual
space flight raised new queS-
lions about the military dan
gers to free world security"
He said in a statement that a
congressional committee should
conduct hearings with the CO.
operation of the Defense De-
partment and National Aero
nautics and Space Administra-
ton to obtain testimony from
scientific and military experts
"in the interests of our long
range national security"
Secretary of Defense Nc
Namara was reported earlier to
feel there is no reason to be
concerned about the military
implications of the latest Soviet
space achievement.
But Senator Wiley COM
mented:
"Globally, there has persisted
hope-if waning II that outer
space would be dedicated to
peaceful purposes. Officially
this is the goal of United States
policy.
Unfortunately, however, the
Communists have been unwill-
ing to agree realistically on
arms control on earth. More
over, there is no evidence to
demonstrate their willingness
to agree-other than verbally
to limiting space activities to
non-military purposes"
Senator Wiley said the fur
ther development of manned
spacecraft has a possibly great
military potential for locating
and hitting strategic targets in
the free world and playing a
variety of other roles.

favors. George McGovern, re-
Gently Food for Peace director
who is running for the Senate
seat currently held by Repubh-
can Senator Bottum, was enor-
mously set up by a one-line
reference to himself as a former
White House associate in the
Presidents Pierre speech.
A clutch of North Dakota
candidates were pleased as
punch to be able to greet the

reassure him that he's getting
more popular every minute in
their State.
A Few Complaints
Naturally, the Preside n
could not make everybody
happy.
At the Pueblo airport, Sena-
tor Allott, a Republican, fumed
to reporters that he had had
to come by commercial air
liner, while Senator Carroll, a
Democrat. was able to descend
In glory the ramp Of the presi-
Dental plane.
A Short-lived crisis occurred
later on the Pueblo platform
when Interior Secretary Udall,
also appearing in a nonparti-
san capacity, forgot to intro
duce the Republican contender
for Senator Carroll's seat, Rep
reSentative Dominick. Senator
CAROLS people were forever in
the Presidents debt because
the Senator not only intro
duced the Chief Executive to a
large and appreciative audi
ence, but got to present him
with souvenir frying pan.
The partisans of Edmund G.
(Pat) Brown of California, who
always rejoices in the PreSi-
dents coming, were further re-
assured by the presence in his
encourage of three Kennedy
men, whose efforts have pre-
been more in the polit-
lcal than the conservation field,
Kenneth ODonnell, Lawrence
O'Brien and Hy Raskin, the
1860 Kennedy Western chiefs.
The President was thus
loudly freed from the irksome
duties of political partisanship.
He had doubtless made up his
mind by that time anyway that
q politician who benefits most
from a nonpolitical trip like
this is one by the name of John

Good. the pamphlet goes on to
prove, to its own satisfaction at
least, that Change Is Neces-
sary. Some of the reasons it
lists are enough to drive a die
hard letter-exchange lover
right out Of his number-pickin'
mind.
ANC Cor. presumably, 1922
eliminates dialing errors caused
by sound-alike central office
names, the pamphlet claims,
and gives as examples Mitchell
and Mutual. Assuming, for
arguments sake, that people
exist who can make these two
words sound alike and still
communicate with other people
by telephone, the question
naturally arises: Why not
eliminate all possibility of such
errors by making the exchanges.
Mississippi and Mud, say, or
even Midway and Murray Hill?
ANC eliminates wrong numbers
caused by mistaken spelling,
the booklet says, citing the ex-
ample Of dialing HI instead of
HY for HYacinth. 1t fails to
say why the same dial combi-
nations (4-4 and 4-9) couldn't
be made foolproof with ex-

That's a pretty good point
for someone who plans to call
Saudi Arabia, Japan or Russia
so frequently that he can't
wait for a translation, but it
leaves room for wondering how
great the impact Of this con-
lvenience will be on the aver
age telephone company Gus
toner, to whom the ANC PAM
phlet is directed.
One paragraph guaranteed
to raise the hackles of an anti
digit-dialer states: TESTS show
that over the short period of
time between looking up a num-
Der and dialing it, ANC num-
bers are Just as easy to recall
as those with two letters and
five numbers. Permanently
memorizing All-Number num-
bers takes a little longer, but
not much A helpful memory
tip Is to group the numbers
into two parts, such. as SIS
(pause) $685."
This misses the point, of
course. Nobody who protests the
change to all-numeral dialing
claims that letters in themselves
are easier to remember than
numbers - though there is a
faction that considers letters
definitely more INTEREST
ING. The point is that when
letters combine into a word,
they are a whale of a lot easier
to remember, a belief shared by
most psychologists outside the
Bell System public relations Of
flee.
Main Argument
The company's main argyll
ment, however, is that by using
all-numeral exchanges, many
more combinations are possible
than with letter exchanges. Ac-
cepting the company's slightly
Procrustean ground rules, this
argument is unanswerable.
These rules include discard
ing lone" and zero" for first
digitS, because they are used
for service calls, ruling out

but in what had happened
Thursday.
This was what they said
occurred:
Richard Strout, a reporter
for the Christian Science Mon
itor, went to Mr.. Humphrey and
obtained from him this quo
tation:
They don't dare attack Ike
(former President Eisenhower,
so they are attacking me. This
is a stab in the back"
Afterwards, Mr.. Strout went
to Senator Symington and ques-
toned him about what Mr..
Humphrey said. Senator Sy-
mington refused to comment,
but indicated he would have
something to say if the quota
ton appeared in print.
ASKED W1thdraWeI
The Senator then went to Mr..
Rose and suggested that Mr..
Humphrey might wish to with
draw the remark. The remark
was not withdrawn and ap-
peared in Friday mornings
edition of The Monitor.
Mr.. Rose said yesterday he
had no chance to bring Senator
Symington's suggestion to Mr..

The Senator, his aides said,
obtained a copy of The Monitor
