Top U.S. Officials
View Khrushchev’s
East-West Issues
WASHINGTON UP — U. S. Of
ficials yesterday viewed Soviet
Premier Khrushchev’s latest dec
laration on East-West issues as a
setup in his post-Vienna cold
war campaign.
At a Moscow rally Wednesday,
Khrushchev said a peace treaty
with Germany will be signed “at
the end of this year.” And he de
clared that if the United States
resumes atomic testing, the So
viets immediately will do so too.
He set forth his Berlin time
table more precisely than he did
during or since his talks at Vienna
June 3-4 with President Kennedy.
Under Khrushchev’s plan for
a treaty with East Germany, the
Soviets would give the Communist
East German regime over access
to Berlin. The Western Powers,
which do not recognize East Ger
many. regard this as a move to
push them out of the Red-encir
cled city.
U. S. experts, still studying the
text of Khrushchev’s remarks,
were of differing opinions as to
whether the Soviet Chief had
served an “ultimatum” on the Ger
man question.
It was recalled that Khrush
chev once before set a six-month
deadline on a German peace
treaty without going through with

Commerce Dept. To
Permit Sale of Farm
Goods to Soviet Union
WASHINGTON UP — The Com- ,
merce Department announced;
yesterday a policy change to per- j
mit the sale of subsidized farm i
surpluses to the Soviet Union and
her European satellites.
In the past, only Poland was
permiteed to buy such products. ,
Surplus commodities could be
shipped to other Communist coun
tries only if they. were produced i
without federal subsidy.
Under the new policy, the de
partment generally will allow
shipments of any surplus goods
if the importing country agrees
to pay for them with convertible
currency.
Subsidized items involved in- j
elude feed grains, wheat and
wheat flour, cotton and cotton j
textiles, rice and non-fat dry milk. 1
a separate pact with East Ger
many. Also, it remained to be
seen how far the Kremlin actu
ally would move to push the
Western Allies out of West Berlin
if it did conclude an East German
treaty.
Nevertheless, U. S. authorities
took Khrushchev’s warning on
Germany with great seriousness.
Discussions were under way with
, Western Allies.
Khrushchev’s threat to resume
nuclear tests was similar to state
| ments he has made before. U. S.
officials believe he is not inter
ested in getting a treaty out
lawing atomic explosions.
Kennedy strategists figure that
Khrushchev wants to prod the
United States into breaking off
the lengthy Geneva conference on
a nuclear test ban treaty and have
the United States be the first to
set off new atomic explosions.

Peronistas Plotted
To Assassinate
Adlai Stevenson
NEW YORK (m — The New
York World-Telegram and Sun
reported yesterday that a group
of extremists plotted to kill
United Nations Ambassador Adlai
Stevenson on his recent visit to
Buenos Aires.
The newspaper also reported
that a U. S. security guard, who
had conferred with Argentine
police about the alleged assassina
tion attempt, was shot, and critical
ly wounded by gunmen four days
after Stevenson left.
The newspaper gave this ac
count:
“A few days before Mr. Steven
son arrived in Argentina on June
7, Buenos Aires police were tipped
off that there might be an attempt
to kill him.
“Communists and supporters of
ousted Dictator Juan Peron had
joined forces for an anti-Ameri
can demonstration during the
Stevenson visit.
“A few of the most fanatic Pe
ronistas allegedly decided to as
sassinate the ambassador in order
to create an international inci
dent that would damage the gov
ernment of President Arturo
FTondizi.
“A police roundup of Peronista
extremists began and maximum
security measures were taken to
protect Mr. Stevenson. No at
tempt on his life was made. The
plotters went into hiding.
“Among those who worked on
the security arrangements was
James Lecinsky, a U. S. Marine
attached to the American Embassy
in Buenos Aires. Mr. Lecinsky
reportedly conferred with Argen
tine police about the assassination
plot.
“At 6 a. m. on June 12, four
days after Mr. Stevenson left Ar
gentina Mr. Lecinsky was over
taken by gunmen in downtown
Buenos Aires near the Foreign
Ministry. Two or more in a car
pulled alongside him and opened
fire with machine pistols.
“Hit several times, he was
rushed to a downtown hospital
for emergency treatment and then
was quietly transferred to a pri
vate hospital in the suburb of
La Plata.”
The newspaper said Lecinsky
had been unconscious ever since.
$16,000 GOLD NUGGET

14,150 grams—more the 31 pounds
—has been found in a gold field
in northwest Siberia.

$35 a troy ounce, the nugget is
worth approximately $16,000.
JAIL TERMS IN SHIFTS . . .
BOSTON UPI — Two brothers

in shifts — one at a time — so
their funeral business won’t suf
fer. Arthur Dello Russo, 47, start

U.S. House Tables
Postal Rate Increase Bill
WASHINGTON UP> — An ad
ministration request for a $741
million increase in postal rates
was turned down Thursday by the
House Post Office Committee.
The action apparently killed
any hopes for action by Congress
this year on a bill that had been
strongly backed by administration
leaders.
Postmaster General J. Edward
Day and Secretary of the Treas
ury Douglas Dillon urged the in
crease to help wipe out the Post
Office Department’s expected 1962
deficit of $843 million.
The administration had asked
for these increases: First-class
letter rate from 4 to 5 cents and
airmail from 7 to 8 cents. It also
proposed that second-class mail
rates be increased an average of
79 per cent and third class an
average of 40 per cent.
The motion to table the bill had
strong support from both Re
publicans and Democrats on the
committee.
TRUJILLOS WANT THEIR
NAMES OFF MONUMENTS
CIUDAD TRUJILLO, Domini
can Republic UPl — Rafael Tru
jillo’s sons and his widow have
asked President Joaquin Bala
guer to take their names off pub
lic-works monuments throughout
the country.
Gen. Rafael Trujillo Jr., his
brother Rhadamas, and their
mother asked that their names be
replaced by those of “important
people or important events in the
national history.” Under the dic
tator, who was assassinated last
month, virtually every piece of
public construction in the coun
try was named for some member
of the Trujillo family.
