No Moscow Stop
Slated for Brother

@. Mr.. President, on the
question, there have been per-
sistent reports that the At
torney General Is still going to
visit the Soviet Union, before
he returns from his trip abroad.
Is there any such possibility?
A. No. No.
@. Mr.. President, on the basis
Of your talks with King Saud,
can you tell us what the pros
poets are on the renewal Of our
base rights at Daren?
A. We have never requested
renewal Of our base rights, and
it Is not a matter which is at
issue between the two govern
mentS.
Q. You would expect it to
lapse, then?
A. We do, and we have made
preparations for that. and that
is what is the desire Of both
countries, and so it has not
been a subject really Of dis
cussion between us.
@. Mr.. President, q few mo-
ments ago I believe you said
that on the joint British-Amer-
lean draft agreement on dis
armament, that 1t should be
brought up to date. ! wonder II
you could expand on that q
little. Are you speaking of ar
inspection Of preparations, spe-
officially, for testing?
| A. Well, I think that my
statement last week indicated
our concern about that matter
but-and I think that the po-
sitions that we would take al
the conference are, will be
presented at that time. I don't
meant don't think anything
particularly significant should
be read into my response. We
have stated that we would be
ready to sign an agreement
which provides for effective
inspection and that is our po-
sition, and our position is based
on our proposal Of last April
I am not aware that there
would be any significant
change in that. If there is, il
will be presented by the time
the summit conference begins

for a heart-to-heart talk about
the whole disagreement over
the censorship Of the military
speeches and what he calls your
defeatist foreign policy?
A. Well, I think that thai

prepared at a lower level.
@. Mr.. President, the Re.

the American people as to how

Postal Rate Rise

@. MIR. President, what is your
reaction to the proposal for q
permanent summer White
House at Newport, Rhode
Island? Have you reached q
decision on that?
A. No. Mr.. Udall-the pro-
posal was made by, I think
Senator Pell and Senator Pas
tore, to Mr.. Udall, and I have
not discussed the matter with
him. He will be looking into
the matter and will reply to
them.
@. Mr.. President. there has
been q noticeable lack Of action
on postal rate increases. There
Is some indication that this
Is tied to efforts to tie together
rate increases with postal wage
increases. Do you have any
comment on that?
A. I think we ought to move
ahead on the postal rate in

the Senate will. The House met
its responsibilities, and I hope
that the Senate will. Then we
can take up the question Of pay

has some recommendations In
that area, but I think 1t would
be a mistake to not proceed.

evaluate the situation in Laos
in view Of continuing Commu-
mist attacks?
A. I think, as I said, the
cease-fire Is becoming increaS-
ingly frayed. It is my under

In reading your letter OF
February 10, 1862, I was graft
fled to see that you have been
thinking along the same lines
as Prime Minister Macmillan
and myself as to the 1mpor-
lance Of the new disarmament
negotiations which will begin
in Geneva in March. I was
gratified also to see that you
agree that the heads Of govern
ment should assume personal
responsibility for the success
Of these negotiations.
The question which must be
decided. Of course, is how that
personal responsibility can be
most usefully discharged. I do
not believe that the attendance
by the heads Of government at
the outset Of an 18-nation con-
ference is the best way to move
forward. I believe that a pro-
cedure along the lines Of that
outlined in the letter which
Prime Minister Macmillan and
I addressed to you on February
Z is the one best designed to
give impetus to the work of
the conference.
Sees Increased Hope
I agree with the statement
which you have made in your
letter that there exists a better
basis than has previously
existed for successful work by
the conference. The agreed
statement of principles for dis
armament negotiations which
was signed by representatives
Of our countries on September
20, 1861, and which was noted
with approval by the 18th Cen
eral Assembly OF the United
Nations represents a founda-
ton upon which a successful
negotiation may be built.
As you have recognized, there
still exists substantial differ
ences between our two posi-
tons. Just one example is the
Soviet unwillingneSs so far to
accord the control organization
the authority to verify during
the disarmament process that
agreed levels of forces and
armament are not exceeded.
The task Of the conference
will be to attempt to explore
this and other differences
which may exist and to search
for means of overcoming them
by specific disarmament plans
and measures. This does not

Progress of Talks
Called Prerequisite

@. Mr.. President, referring
to your letter to Premier Khru-
shchev this morning, without
meaning to exclude other exam
pies, could you give us one
example of the kind Of progress
in the disarmament talks that
might lead you to participate
personally in a summit confer
ence?
A. # the discussions at &C.
neva indicated that a genu-
inc progress could be made
which will provide for a re-
sponsible disarmament agree
ment, an effective disarmament
agreement, with effective in
spection which, of course, must
be q part of any disarmament
agreement, if it is going to truly
meet the international needs
then, of, course, if we are moving
ahead in that kind Of area. anc

what we want to do is try tt

'Brien Scored
By. Thant Aide

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Nov. Is (AP) "A spokesman
for Acting Secretary General
U Thant yesterday accused
Irish ex Diplomat Conor
Cruise O'Brien of irresponsi-
BILE fabrication in his new
book, ITO Katanga and Back"
The spokesman charged Mr..
O'Brien also by publishing
the book with violating con-
tractual obligations he under
took as a United Nations Of
fetal.
DR.. O'Brien was the late
Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold's top representative
in secessionist Katange Prov
ince in 1861.
DR.. O'Brien charged in his
book published in London that
Mr.. Hammarskjold put out a
false version of how the first
fighting started in Katanga in
September. 1861, and that the
United Nations actually I'M
dertook to end the secession
by force.
In Elizabethville, the Ka-
tanga capital, President Noise
Tshombe's government was Of
ficially silent on DR.. O'Brien's
allegations, but most Katanga
politicians shrugged them off
and a Katanga informant said
DR.. O'Brien was considered a
disappointed man with a.
grudge.
There was no immediate
comment in Leopoldville, cap
ital of the Congo's Central
Government.
The Katanga fighting be-

to end in his death in a plane

McNutt pointed out that the Or

the hospital was far too inadequate

slim, as the hospital plans must
first undergo rigid inspection by the
