Russia Sends New |
Note On Summit
Conference
WASHINGTON, UPt— Secretary
of State Dulles said Tuesday the
United States would lose its shirt
if it agreed to a summit confer
ence at the terribly high price he
said Russia demands for such a
meeting.
At a news conference Dulles
accused the Soviets of putting a
five-point price tag on a summit
meeting. He said the price is too
high although he assumes Russia
is willing to negotiate it.
The latest note from Moscow
has not advanced prospects for a
summit conference, Dulles went j
on. He predicted a continued ex
change of propaganda notes
would make the outlook for a
heads - of - government meeting
much worse.
The United States, Dulles said,
is ready to negotiate through dip
lomatic channels and possibly a
foreign ministers meeting and is
sues no ultimatum on its own re
quirements for a top level meet
ing.
The new Kremlin note was de
livered Monday. The immediate
reaction of U.S. officials was that
its terms would turn the proposed
meeting into a spectacle instead
of a decision-making meeting to
ease international tensions.
Moscow showed no signs of
backing down on its oft-repeated
demand that summit leaders meet
without advance lower level ne
gotiations on East-West problems, j
A foreign minister’s conference i
empowered to discuss major
problems, Moscow said, would
only delay a summit conference
or block it altogether.
The Soviet note proposed again
the items Russia wants on the
agenda, and rejected most of
those the U. S. has proposed. 1
Ike Asks Congress j
For Speed-Up In
Civilian Spending
WASHINGTON, (4V- President
Eisenhower today asked Con
gress to authorize an anti-reces
sion speed-up in spending of up
to 840 million dollars for civilian
supplies.
The expenditure is up to 240
million dollars more than the
White House had estimated yes
terday in its first mention of the
plan.
At that time Republican con
gressional leaders reported Ei
senhower would ask Congress for
authority to spend $600 million
faster than had been planned —
$100 million in the fiscal year
ending June 30, and $500 million
in the year starting the next day.
The program as announced to
day deals only with civilian pur
chasing.

ACS Plans Replacement of Military
Personnel with Civilian Employes
Reorganization of the Alaska
Communications System to re
place Army personnel with civil-/
ian employes in all but three
cities of the territory was an
nounced last week.
Col. Carl D. Hatch, Army com
mander of the wide-spread tele
phone and telegraph system that
provides communication services
throughout Alaska, made the an
nouncement.
He said the ACS probably would
be sold to civilian operators if
Congress passes enabling legisla
tion and “if anybody showed an
interest.”
At the present time, he said,
there were no interested prospec
tive buyers.
Under the reorganization plan,
Col. Hatch said, only the ACS sta
tions at Anchorage, Fairbanks
and Juneau would be manned by
military personnel after next
Jan. 1.
ACS maintenance crews will j
operate out of those three cities |
to service equipment in other
areas, he said.
The curtailment of Army per
sonnel throughout the system, he
said, was designed as an economy
move, but that new procedures
would result in more efficient op
erations.
Col. Hatch said the reorganiza
tion would put into effect a con
tinental toll dialing system that
would speed telephone service
from Alaska to the states.
Under the plan, he said, sta
tions outside of the three cities
would be manned by civilian em
ployes who would accept tele
graph messages and dispatch them
by teletype.
Phone calls would be relayed
through the major cities, from
where operators would dial long
distance numbers in the states.
Col. Hatch said the goal under
the new system was to trim the
time lag on any phone call to
the states to eight seconds.
