India Side Trip
Planned If Ike
Can Spare Time
WASHINGTON, UR — President
Eisenhower may tour part of
northern India during his over
seas goodwill tour next month.
Authoritative informants said
the President wants to see more
of, India than just the capitol of
New Delhi during his visit. A final
decision will depend, they said,
on whether he will have time for
side trips.
India is one of the nine nations
Eisenhower will visit on his good
will tour beginning December 3.
Eisenhower reported Wednesday
he will visit Italy, Greece, Tur
key, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan,
Morocco and France, as well as
India during his flying tour.
Some authorities said a second
Eisenhower overseas trip some
time next spring might be in the
works. The President is due to
visit the Soviet Union at that time,
repaying a visit Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev made to the
United States last month.
Secretary of State Christian A.
Herter is reported to be encour
aging Eisenhower to travel as
widely as possible during the re
maining time he has in office.
Herter is reported to believe
I that Eisenhower’s world-wide rep
utation as a peaceful man is
America’s greatest international
asset at the present time.

ILS.-Russ Experts
Study Dam Idea
NEW YORK — Senator Ernest
Gruening has called for immediate
study by United States — and
Canadian — scientists of a Soviet
engineer’s proposal for a huge
dam to be built across the Bering
Strait between Alaska and the
Soviet Union.
The proposal, as reported on
October 24 by Tass, the Soviet
news agency, called for close
U. S.-Soviet cooperation for the
project, whose estimated cost is
$17 billion
According to Radio Liberty, an
American Committee for Freedom
for the Peoples of the USSR, who
talked with Dr. Gruening by tele
phone from Anchorage, the sen
ator stated “There should, there
fore, be an early meeting of the
leading scientists of both countries
in the fields involved — geolo
gists, meteorologists, oceanogra
phers, physicists and others — to
formulate plans for a thoroughly
cooperative research as to the de
sirability and practicality of this
imaginative proposal.”
