U.S. Observers Not Certain of Point
Bulganin Wants to Make in New Offer
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, UB—Premier
Bulganin’s proposal for a new
summit conference to tackle the
problem of disarmament was as
sured of careful study by Presi
dent Eisenhower and his advisors
but hardly seemed likely to. win
unqualified American approval.
Several points in the Bulganin
message announced in Moscow
puzzled Washington observers in
initial reaction. They wondered
whether Bulganin was really
thinking of a top-level meeting
or trying to make some other
point.
Sincerity Questioned
His expressed willingness to
consider President Eisenhower’s
“open skies” aerial inspection
plan for the North Atlantic and
Warsaw Pact countries could be a
way of reversing Russia’s policy
on this point if Bulganin now
really wants to get serious work
going on a disarmament program.
However, it could equally well
be bait to get the UJS. to corhe
into the summit conference—the
inspection proposal having been
the spearhead of U.S. disarma
ment efforts since the Geneva
summit meeting in July 1955.
To Weaken U.N.
At the same time, it could also
be bait to get the big powers to
agree to take the disarmament
issue out of the United Nations
entirely.
There is some implication in
the Bulganin note that the Soviet
Union may be coming to the con
clusion that the United Nations
no longer serves its interests very
effectively and that it would like
to discredit the U.N.
U.S. Upholds U.N.
An agreement among the major
nations that they, rather than the
U.N., must solve the disarmament
problem, beginning with a new
chief of government conference,
would gq quite far toward dis
crediting the world organization.
The United States, by contrast
with Russia, has reaffirmed its
determination to uphold the U.N.
in recent statements by Eisen
hower and this point puts the
two nations in direct conflict.
West Diplomats
Walk Out of
Red Reception
MOSCOW, WV—Nikita Khrush
chev railed against “imperialists
and their puppets” so harshly Sat
urday night that NATO ambas
sadors and the Israeli charge d’
affaires walked out of a Kremlin
reception honoring Polish Pre
mier Wladyslaw Gomulka.
The rotund Soviet Communist
boss said world peace had been
threatened by the “bandit-like at
tacks of Britain, France and their
puppet Israel.”
Western diplomats shifted an
grily as he talked about the “fas
cist gangs” which- attempted to
destroy socialism in Hungary.
There was a quick conference
among the envoys who waited
until Gomulka had replied to
Khrushchev’s speech.
Then there was a concerted
move for the exits, with French,
British and Israeli envoys lead
ing the way. They were followed
by the Italian, Dutch, United
States, Canadian, Danish, Iceland,
Norwegian, Belgian, Turkish and
Greek diplomats.
Khrushchev’s boast that “the
time has passed when imperialist
attempts to enslave weaker na
tions go unpunished” found no
reply in Gomulka’s speech. The
Polish Communist leader referred
neither to the Egyptian problem
nor to battered Hungary *in his
remarks.
Polish-Soviet talks have been
conducted in an atmosphere of
complete understanding, said Go
mulka. who served four years in
a Polish jail for “Titoism.”

Romanian Chauffeur and Family
Escape From Communist Legation
BUENOS AIRES Wt—Argentina
granted asylum Saturday to a
Romanian legation chauffeur and
his family who broke away from
Communism in a dramatic strug
gle Friday.
A clamoring crowd of Argen
tines helped the fleeing couple
obtain the release of their 11
month-old son from the legation.
George Coman, the 31-year-old
chauffeur, said he and his family
looked forward to living out there
lives here. With some surprise in
his voice, he added delightedly:
“I have already had offers of
work.”
The crowd that gathered around
the legation after hearing of Co
man’s escape was instrumental in
securing the freedom of Coman’s
baby son, held in the legation
when the remainder of the family
broke away. The demonstrators
set up loud chants of “Let the
child go.”
This is the story:
Coman, his wife and two boys
! were being returned to Bucharest
after their tour of duty here. As
they entered a legation car Friday
to be driven to the airport, the
parents and their four-year-old
son bolted. The baby was left be
hind in the mixup.
Coman hailed a passing police
car. Legation guards tried to stop
them. The police joined the strug
gle and got Coman and the older
boy into their car.
Mrs. Coman went back to the
legation for the baby while Coman
sought asylum for the family.
He said she was dragged inside
the legation building and that
Anton Moisecu, the Romanian
minister, struck her.
Mrs. Coman broke away, locked
herself in a bathroom, escaped
thru its window and rejoined her
husband.
The news spread, and a crowd
assembled at the legation, chant
ing: “Let the child go.”
The legation then released the
child to Argentine officials.
Indian Communist
Asks Freedom
From Moscow Line
NEW DELHI, India, UP— India’s
Communist Party newspaper Sat
urday published a letter from a
socialist leader asking Indian
Communists whether they have
“spirit enough to declare their
independence of Moscow and
choose their own road to social
ism.”
Jayay Prakash Narayan of the
Praja (People’s) Socialist Party
sent the letter to the Red Weekly
News Age.

nism depends on this question:
“Wil' the Communist Party of
India stand up for freedom or for
slavery, for Hungary or Russia?”
The New Age gave his 3,000
word letter a full page play with
a big headline, and promised that
the Communist Party secretary
general, Ajoy Ghosh, would an
swer it.

THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY CAR has taken on a definite “sports car look” as Dod^c
introduces its 1957 Custom Royal four-door Sedan. Longer and lower-slung, the Custom
Royal s styling is keynoted by the swept-wing rear fenders. Low center of gravity, new
Torsion-Aire ride and the most extensive use of rubber insulation in automotive history
have combined to give the Custom Royal a silent, vibration-free ride.
