1t appeared later that Mr.,
Worthington'S reference to an

avoid hostility between business
and the Government, rather
than to any concession by the
administration.
The absence of any deal was
indicated by Attorney General

last night that cancellation OF
the price increases would not

KhrushcheV'S
Stand Signals
Alarms Race

MOONO", hpI4l II 'E1I -
The stage was set today for
a nuclear arms race as Premier
KhruShchev vowed to match
Western nuclear tests blast
for blast-underwater. under
ground. in the atmosphere,
even in space.
Mr.. Khrushchev has re-
jected a last-chance appeal
from President Kennedy and
British Prime Minister Mac
milan to accept a controlled
end to nuclear testing and head
off American tests scheduled
for later this month in the
Pacific.
Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Mac
milan had asked Mr.. Khru-
] shchev in a statement earlier
this week to reconsider the So
Wet refusal to accept any form
of international controls within
a test ban treaty.
/ Mr.. KhruShchev's answer, in
a note distributed by the Soviet
news agency Tass and broad
cast by Moscow radio, declared
that the Soviet Union cannot
accept the Western plan be-
cause Russia refuses to permit
"unhampered intelligence" over
its territory.
Urges West to Trust
/ Instead, Mr.. Khrushchev
urged the Western powers to
show more trust in the Soviet
Union and accept its proposals
for an unpoliced test ban
treaty. Otherwise. he declared,
the implementation of your
declared decision to hold tests
compelS us to prepare and hold
tests Of our nuclear weapons.
And in the future your
holding of nuclear weapon
tests under ground or in the
atmosphere, in space or under
water, will force the Soviet
Union to hold tests Of its own
nuclear weapons so that the
defense (of the Soviet bloc) -.
would be at an appropriate
level"
Mr.. Khrushchev asserted the
Western powers were motivated
by a desire to establish military
superiority over the Soviet
Union. But to Western leaders
Mr.. Khrushchev's interpreta-
ton Of IAN appropriate level"
likely means an advantage over
the West.
Would Yield Advantage
Mr.. Kennedy has said the
United States tests are neces-
sary to American security be-
cause the Russians made gains
in their series of more than so
nuclear blasts last fall.
At the l7-nation disarma-
ment conference in Geneva.
Britain also spoke Of what it
called the Soviet nuclear weap-
onS advantage gained from the
, Soviet tests last fall. The Brit
ish said then they were willing
to let the Soviet Union keep
this advantage If it accepted a
cheat-proof test ban treaty.
Just as Soviet delegates did
at Geneva. Mr.. Khrushchev re-
jected international inspection
as a means for western spying
on Russia.
THE Soviet Union" he said.
cannot agree to such test
ban agreement as would enable
NATO intelligence organs to
have its people on Soviet ter
ritory in the guise of interna-
tional control.
You would like to add to
what you already have-to the
military bases and troops sta
toned along the Soviet fr'on-
tiers our permission to conduct
unhampered intelligence on the
territory of our country.
why don't the Western
powers put us to the test and
display their understanding
and wisdom by signing "a

treaty on disarmament"

Associated Press Staff Writer

President Kennedy has in
creased his personal prestige
and put Republicans on the po-
litlcal defensive with a smash
ing breakthrough against Big
Steel'S price increases.
The action yesterday by the
two biggest companies, United
States Steel and Bethlehem, in
resembling a S6-a-ton price
rise obviously was forced by a
White House power play that
combined the elements of pub
lie opinion and threats of re-
taliation.
/ Like a row of dominoeS, other
major companies fell in line
after Bethlehem toppled under
presidential pressure.
From this successful battle
with big business Mr.. Kennedy
emerged with a newly eStab-
lished reputation as a dragon
killer of the school Of one of
his favorite predecessors, Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
UnderScores Leadership
He demonstrated that when
a President summons all the
means at his command-as
Mr.. Kennedy did in this in
Stance-few can compete with
him in the market of the Ma

Blasted Tactics

With some exceptions, they
refused to go along with the
Democrats in condemning the
price increase. Instead, they
fired away at Mr.. Kennedy's S
tactics.
Senator Hruska, Republican
of Nebraska, a member Of the
Senate's Antimonopoly Sub
committee, criticized Mr.. Ken
nedy'S order for the Defense
Department to shift steel buy
ing to companies which did not
raise their prices.
He said he deplores the type
of thinking that unless COM
panieS do what a political lead
er says they must. retribution
will be visited upon them" He
said this threatens a cor
porate state" in which the gov
ernment controls and manages
property without owning it.

Europeans Get the Touring Urge

cording to returning tourists
from behind the Iron Cur
tain, the Communists seem
to go out, of their way to
make the tourists life miser-
able. The wife of an Ameri-
can officer stationed in Eu-
rope returned recently from
Poland, Russia and Czecho-
slovakia. Only In Poland did
she notice friendly smiling
faces. At the Czech border,
after an all-day bus trip, the
party was held up for five
hours while passports were
inspected"
When the Soviet border
was reached every piece Of
luggage was searched. Most
offensive personal belongings
were paper backed Who
dunits. The inspector me
thodically tore out every
fourth or fifth page and
handed the books back to
their owners. He thus de-
stroyed the possibility that
the detective stories might
contain some dangerous
codes. On the parGy'S arrival
in SmolenSk there certainly
was no idea of encouraging
a people-to-people exchange
of goodwill. The Russian
commiSSar announced that
there was no accommodation
in the hotels but that tents
had been ordered for the
group. And tents there were
pup tentS-in the pouring
rain. The only accommoda-
ton for sleeping was a piece
of canvas over the ground.
All pleadings from the tour
group and the German leader
that they go on to the next
city or town where hotel
accommodations - at least
out of the rain-might be
found, were totally ignored.
The schedule provided spend
the night in Smolensk" and
that was that.
The tourists, all over the
world. are demonstrating the
results of the peoples of the
nations getting to know each
other. And the result seems
to be that be it ever so hum

does not do SO in terms of

That he knows how to use

ROME-Europe is exper-
fencing the greatest and
most stupendous people-to-

moon. unrehearsed and pure
ly spontaneous.
Vacationers are on the
road. Many residents have
left the big cities. The streets
and sidewalks of Rome have
become international; Via
Veneto's famous sidewalk
cafes are overlooking and
traffic among the tables is
like a country fair. For the
few remaining Romans life
is frustrating in the scorch-
ing heat. There are strikes
every day or so by bakers,
milk dispensers, postmen,
printers and what have you.
Even two-thirds of the phar-
macies are closed for the
month of August.
The Italians have gone to
France and Switzerland. The
British have gone in large
numbers to Spain, Switzer-
land and Italy. The French
are going to Germany, Switz-
erland and Scandinavia. And
the Germans are going every
where.
According to the theory of
the planned people-to-people
program in America, if the
people get to know each
other, their leaders will be
able to preserve peace. But
If the spontaneous people ex-
changes now going on in Eur
ope are an example, this
idea is not going to work. The
Italians on the Adriatic coast,
for instance, resent being
