u. s. Is Receptive
To Idea Of Summit
But March
Is Regarded
As Too Soon
BY EARL H. VOSS
Star Staff Writer

The United States today was
reported to be receptive to
Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
proposal for an 18-nation sum-
NIT meeting on general diSarm-
ament, but not until prelimi-
nary preparations give some
prospect Of success.
The Soviet leader suggested
in a letter to President Ken
nedy yesterday that the 18-
nation conference on general
disarmament, scheduled to open
March IA in Geneva, be started
at the summit level.
His counter-proposal arrived
only four days after British
Prime Minister Macmillan and
President Kennedy had sug-
gested the Geneva conference
be elevated to the more modest
foreign ministers level.
Attitude the Same
The United States was ex-
pected to leave the way open
for a summit meeting on dis
armament later, possibly in
May.
But the attitude toward OPEN
ing a negotiation at the summit
level, frequently expressed by
both President Kennedy and
former President Eisenhower,
was not expected to be
changed. This court Of last
resort should not be invoked
until prospects for success are
apparent, the administration
believes.
For that reason, it was con-
sidered logical the United States
would stick by its proposal of
last Wednesday to open the
general disarmament discus
sions at the foreign ministers
level.
The direction of the thinking
apparently was reflected in re-
marks by British Ambassador
Sir David OrmSby Gore to re-
porters after a conference this
morning with Secretary OF
State Rusk at the State Depart
ment.
Asked what the British posi-
ton was, the Ambassador said:
I'VE don't think it is suit
able that the heads of govern
ment should start the conver-
sation" in Geneva.
COnfers With President
But. Sir David added, the
possibility that the leaders
should meet "at a later date"
has to be kept open.
Mr.. RuSk, after this morn
ing's meeting with Sir David.
went to the White House and
conferred with President Ken
nedy.
About the same time, the
White House released the text
OF the Kennedy Macmillan
message to Mr.. Khrushchey in
which the two free world lead
ers virtually invited the
Khrushchev summit proposal.
1--WE propose" they said,
that we three accept a per-
sonal responsibility for direc-
ing the part to be played by our
representatives in the forth
coming talks"

10000 Police
keepP Partisan
Protest Calm
Both Sides Seem
Anxious to Avert
New Violence

PARIS, Feb. IL (AP).-Faced
by 10000 French policemen. a
demonstration by leftists
against the right-wing Secret
Army started quietly today.
AS the hour for the Socialist
Communist demonstration ar
rived, about 1000 persons were
at the Place de la Republidue,
which bristled with riot police
armed with submachine guns.
The government had banned
the demonstration, but police
took no action against the
assembling crowd. An ee-ie
calm descended on the famous
square in the eastern part of
the city, where a monument
towers in honor of the repub-
lies of France.
The silence was broken by
shouts of one or two demon
strators, but they were quieted
by their comrades.
Crowd Moves Back
The vanguard of the crowd
gathered at the police barrier
set up around the square. The
police asked the crowd to move
back about 20 yards. The peo-
pie obeyed.
Both sides seemed anxious
to avoid a clash that might
cause blood to run once more
in Paris streets, as it did last
week.
The French Socialists had
called for a peaceful but en-
ergetic" demonstration against
the Secret Army and against
police suppression of last
Thursdays demonstration that
left eight dead and hundreds
injured.
The French Com m uni S t
Party quickly summoned its
militants to join the Socialists
shoulder to shoulder" and
other leftist organizations
backed the demonstration call,
Warning Given
The government sternly re-
called that all street demon
strations are banned under the
state of urgency in effect in
France since last April's abor-
tive Algiers putsch.
Premier Michel Debre made
an unusual visit to the Interior
Ministry today to confer with
law enforcement chiefs and to
express the governments con-
fidence in their ability to main
tain order.
The day began with a half
hour token strike called by
Communist. Socialist an d
Christian labor unions. The
brief symbolic strike had little
effect on transport and other
public services.
The strike orders left union
members with considerable lati-
tude and some decided to save
their major strike effort for
tomorrow, when the eight per-
sons killed in Thursdays dis
turbances will be buried.
The leftist leaders also urged
their followers to atten d
funeral services tomorrow m a

hall for some of the dead from

Mujor Questions
By the Associated Press

American U-2 spy Pilot
Francis Gary Powers faces ce-
tailed grilling from United
States intelligence agents when
he completes a secret rendez-
vous with his wife.
Among questions awaiting
the flyer. free after 81 months
in a Russian prison, is: What
really happened the morning
of May l, 1860, when he was
downed deep inside the Soviet
Union?
And: How much did he tell
the Russians about his mission?
Preliminary Questions
Presumably, preliminary
questioning began shortly after
the 32-year-old pilot crossed
a Berlin bridge into American
hands Saturday in a two-for-
one trade for Soviet Spy Ru-
dolf I. Abel.
The Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, meanwhile,
asked for a full report on the
Powers interrogation. Senator
Sparkman, Democrat of Ala
bama, acting committee chair
man. pointed out in a letter
to Secretary of State Rusk that
the committee held hearings on
the U-2 incident in the sum-
mer Of 1860 and would like to
complete those hearings by
receiving such information as
may be available"
Official sources are not say
ing Mr.. Powers is in military
or Government custody, but
ever since he crossed a white
line where Communist East
Germany ends and West Berlin
begins, a carefully contrived
secrecy has cloaked his move
mentS.
At the State Department,
Press Officer Lincoln White
said Mr.. Powers "is seeing his
family" but gave no further
information. Asked whether the
U-2 pilot was still with his fam
lily this afternoon, Mr.. White |
said he did not know. He also
said he had no word on which |
members of the family were
with Mr.. Powers.
Few Facts Given
All the White House would
say in a brief announcement |
yesterday was that Mr.. Powers
was home again and that he
had been reunited with men,
berS of his family.
Meanwhile, the Central In
telligence Agency was believed |
to be setting up a board of |
inquiry to look fully into the |
Powers case. CIA Director John |
A. McCone will determine the
boards composition.
Another figure in the un-
precedented exchange arrived
home yesterday. He was James
Britt Donovan, the New York
lawyer who had defended Col.
Abel in his 1857 espionage trial
and then negotiated his depor-
tation to Russia in a trade for
Mr.. Powers and Frederic Pryor,
an American student in. West
Berlin.
Mr.. Donovan brought word
that he thought still another
American imprisoned in Russia
would win his freedom. He is
Marvin w. Makinen, 22-year-
old student from AShburnham,
Mass, who is serving an eight
year sentence in Kiev on
espionage charges.
Contrast in Arrivals
The secrecy that shrouded
Mr.. Powers return was in
sharp contrast to the home
coming Of Mr.. Pryor.
The 28-year-old student ar
rived in Detroit yesterday on

NEW YORK, Jan. 5 (AP).-
AS Broadway productions go,
producer David Merrick's latest
proved to be a real wow-drew
nothing but rave notices. The
raving, however, vas all in the
dictionary sense.
Mr.. Merrick is one of the
leading lights on the Great
White Way. He also is a wag
who will try almost any kind
of stunt to boost his shows or
to twit the newspaper critics.
Recently he opened what was
billed as a musical comedy en-
titled "Subways Are for Sleep
ing" Most of the critics found
it less than comic.
An idea had been jelling in
Mr.. Merrick's mind for a long
time, and this week he could
no longer resist using it to
give the critics show business
version OF the old Bronx cheer.
Mr.. Merri3k and his aides
secured the phone books for

sion was obtained from these
folks to Use their names, pic

PREMIUM PLAN

F. Douglass Sears, Maryland
insurance commissioner, has
questioned Security Financial
Insurance Corp. officials plan
to collect advance premiums
from savings and loan COM
panies whose accounts it in
SureS.
Mr.. Sears, in a letter to the
company, said the plan amounts
to a rate increase. He said that
before putting it into effect the
company would have to file for
a rate increase.
The company, which was the
center of a heated fight in the
General Assembly last winter,
insures shareholder accounts in
80 savings and loan asSocia-
tionS.
Attorney General Thomas B.
Finan recently ruled that a spe-
cial trust fund SET up by the
company was illegal. Savings
and loan associations which had
contributed to the trust fund
were ordered to withdraw the
money they had put into it.
After the ruling by Mr.. Finan,
a Security Financial official
said the company planned to
ask associations it insures to
put up advance premium pay
mentS amounting to 2 per cent
OF their savings accounts.
Security Financial was started
in 1859 by a group of Balti-
more County politicians but the
politicians resigned from their
positions in the company after

Assembly. The Assembly passed
a bill which will place restric-

the country to clear away the
financial barriers to college
education.
The labor movement, he told
a conference on equal oppor-
tunity for higher education at

mitted to a massive assault"
on inequality Of educational

Calling for Federal aid on
several fronts, he declared that
I'VE as a people need once
and for all to establish it is a
matter of public policy that an
individuals ability must be the
only ceiling on educational op-

Mr.. Meany recommends:
/. Federal aid for elementary

sure minimum standards in
every community.
2. Wiping out of racial seq
regation in public schools.
8. Greater support of voca-
tional education, technical
training and apprenticeship
programs.

afford it.
