Eisenhower Is Ready for Top-Level
Parley when West Agrees on Terms
By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH
AUGUSTA, Ga., UR — President
Eisenhower said yesterday he is
willing to go to an East-West
summit conference whenever the
Western Allies have coordinated
their positions.
The President told a news con
ference that without such prior
coordination at a pre-summit ses
sion, the situation could be just
a donnybrook — or confusion.
Eisenhower confirmed that he
has been plugging — in private
correspondence with the Western
leaders — for an East-West sum
mit meeting with Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev as early as
December.
But the President said he has
no strong feelings regarding the
time of any such session.
The important thing, he empha
sized, is that the West get to
gether and present a united front
at any summit session.
Eisenhower dealt with these
other subjects:
Health — At the time he went
to Palm Springs, Calif., Septem
ber 30 for a nine-day rest in his
layman’s opinion he was suffer
ing from an acute cold and attack
of flu. Eisenhower added that he
developed bronchitis about three
years ago and the condition, he
believes, since has become
chronic.
Labor Legislation — Speaking
against the background of the
marathon steel strike, Eisenhower
said he feels the Taft-Hartley law
does not have a very brilliant his
tory. He added that he does not
regard it as very good or adequate
legislation.
But the President said further,
in response to a question, that
he has no intention at this time
of asking Congress for new labor
legislation when the lawmakers
reconvene in January.
Space and missiles — Speaking
of tbis country’s program to de
velop huge superthrust rockets,
* Eisenhower said he sees no reason
why it should be put on a basis
of competition with the Russians.
i i
That was his comment when |
asked for his views regarding
criticism in some quarters that
the space and missile programs
are lagging behind the Soviet
Union.
Eisenhower discussed the mat
ter in the light of his decision
Wednesday to transfer the Army’s
Ballistic Missile Agency to the
civilian National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.
The President had high praise
for the Army team of scientists
headed by Dr. Wernher von
Braun. He called the Army team
a brilliant group.
Reviewing the history of devel
opment of missiles and space ve
hicles in this country, Eisenhower
said the program has been rushed
urgently since 1955.
Prior to that, he said, this
country developed very efficient
and very powerful bombs, but
had not concentrated on develop
ment of the so-called super
thrust rockets.
But now, Eisenhower went on,
the United States has operational
intercontinental ballistic missiles
— and has done a remarkable job
in that field. ^
Trade — Eisenhower was asked
whether the government has any
plans to set up trade agreements
on cotton products with Hong
Kong, Formosa and other Far
Eastern countries, similar to the
current agreement with Japan.
The President replied that tech
nical experts have investigated
the situation and think it is im
proving.
Loan fund — Eisenhower was
questioned about this govern
ment’s new policy of requiring
that money provided to friendly
nations from the Development
Loan Fund be spent to the great
est extent possible in the United
States.
He replied that of course we do
want them to spend as much of
such money as possible in this
country, but added that does not
represent any radical new policy.
TV quiz shows — If television
quiz programs actually were
rigged, it was a terrible thing to
do to the American public, Eisen
hower said. A Congressional in
vestigation has produced testi
mony that some such shows were
fixed.

Indians Report Red
Ambush 40 Miles
Inside Kashmir
NEW DELHI, India, UPi — India
tonight charged Red China with
a fierce new attack on an Indian
patrol in the Ladakh sector of
Kashmir. It said 17 Indians were
killed in the fight Wednesday and
that others are missing. Three
were wounded.
Peiping claims the Ladakh sec
tor among about 40,000 square
miles of border territry under
the Indian flag. Chinese detach
ments occupied parts of it months
ago and have built a road across it
to link Tibet and extreme western
China.
A government statement said
the attack took place 40 miles
inside the Indian border.
The Indian detachment was
“surprised by heavy and sudden
fire from Chinese troops en
trenched on a hilltop,” it said.
The Indian troops fired back
but were reported “overwhelmed
by shperior strength and the use
of grenades and mortars.”
t The Indian government, call
ing this a matter of “grave con
sequence,” has protested strongly
to Peiping.
“The area is about 40 to 50
miles west of the traditional
China-Indian frontier which has
been shown in official Indian
maps,” the Foreign Ministry said.
“The Chinese government could
not be under any misapprehen
sion about the traditional border.”

Living Costs Soar
To New Record
WASHINGTON, OP) — Living
costs, as measured by the govern
ment, climbed three-tenths of one
1 per cent last month to another
record high.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today that its index rose
i to 125.2 per cent of the 1947-49
average.
Every major item in the budget
of the average city family went
up except transportation.
The highest previous index
reading was 124.9 for July. In
August there had been a drop to
124.8.
The rise of 0.4 from August to
September in the index scale,
when reduced to percentage, is
abdvit 0.3 per cent. The scale
change in an index and the per
centage change are never the
same except when the index
movement is from an even 100.
A year ago the index standing
was 123.7.
The rising costs mean that al
most 1V4 cents has been whittled
from the buying power of the con
sumer’s dollar in the last six
months.
As a result of the rise, about
1,236,000 workers whose pay
checks are geared to fluctuations
■ in the price index will receive
pay increases of 1 to 3 cents
hourly.
j Looking ahead, it appears that
foreseeable increases in automo
bile, gasoline, fuels and some other
prices may offset an expected
slight decline in food prices in
the October index, which will be
issued a month hence.
