De Gaulle And Adenauer Meet For
East-West Summit Conference
PARIS AP — West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and
President Charles de Gaulle met
today for a long private talk on
the Western diplomacy to be used
at the East-West summit meeting.
With only an interpreter present
the two leaders got down to busi
ness after their foreign ministers
had worked over issues on which
they agree and disagree.
The second day of Adenauer's
visit was greeted by French head
lines hailing the postwar friend
ship between West Germany and
France and the close relations that
have developed between the two
statesmen.
The French Tuesday renewed
their assurances to Adenauer that
De Gaulle would insist at any
summit conference on a Berlin set
tlement only as part of an over all
German reunification settlemant.
One of Adenauer’s biggest wor
ries has been that the West, be
cause of Soviet Premier Nikita
Khrushchev’s threats to West Ber
lin, would agree on an isolated
Berlin settlement.
Around The World
SEATTLE, Wash. AP — The
Clifford Ennery family returned
two weeks ago from a four-
month globe-circling trip which
cost them their savings and
most of the money raised from
the sale of their home.
But starting over doesn’t both
er the Emerys. They built their
first home themselves and
they’re ready to start on the
second.
“I’ll start legging off the lot
next week,” Emery said.
The lot was donated by
Emery’s father.
"We still have a little cash
left. We’ll build some of the new
house, then get financing for it,”
Mrs. Emery added.
Emery, who had taken a leave
of absence from his $100-a-week
jcb with Pacific Telephone Co.,
hasn’t returned to work.
“I was offered a job with the
company but it was outside
work and at less money. I don’t
think I’ll take it,” he said.
“I don’t know for sure what I
will do, but I’m not really wor
ried. I’ll find something.”
The Emerys have four chil
dren, from 4 to 16.
Government WiO
Take Action On'
Steel Strike
WASHINGTON AP — President
Eisenhower implied strongly to
day that the government will take
decisive action to settle the steel
strike if management and labor
fail to agree before the Taft-Hart-
ley injunction expires.
If the parties cannot get any
where by their bargaining, he told
a news conference, the govern
ment cannot sit idly on its hands.
He added that unless the par
ties can get together in a settle
ment which is in the public in
terest, somebody is going to lose
something.
The President said further that
it would be a bad day for the
United States if the government
was obliged to step in and abridge
the right of free collective bar
gaining.

Halifax Paper Co.
No Longer Opposes
License Issuance
ROANOKE RAPIDS, N. C. AP
—The Halifax Paper Co. an
nounced today it will no longer
oppose the issuance of a license
to Virginia Electric & Power Co.
'or construction of a hydroelec
tric dam on the Roanoke River
near Gaston.
K. F, Adams, executive vice
president, said, however, that
HaUfcix would not become a
party to an agreement between
the state and VEF*CO aimed at
protecting water quality on the
Roanoke below the proposed
dam.
The agreement was reached
recently in conferences before
the Federal Power Commission
in Washington. The agreement
sets up a schedual of minimum
water releases from the dam.
Several state agencies had ssud
they would oppose issuance of
the license unless steps were
taken to insure the quality of
water on the lower river.
Adams said that Halifax “has
been assured that the settle
ment agreed to by the North
Carolina state agencies should
protect the interests of all river
users in the future.” He said,
however, that Halifax felt it
advisable not to become a party
to the agreement.
Selection Of New
Director Delayed
RALEIGH AP — Directors of
the State Art Society postponed
ae;ain today action on the selec
tion of a new director for the State
Art Museum.
The directors voted unanimous
ly to give a selection committee
time in which to investigate qual
ifications of additional persons for
'he post.
The Committee had taken the
position that its previous instruc
tions from the board had virtual
ly limited it to the consideration
of two persons: James Byrnes, who
is serving as acting director; and
Allan McNab, director of the Chi-
cage Art Institute.
McNab has indicated he is not
interested in the post.
State Treasurer Edwin Gill, a
strong supporter of Byrnes for the
post left vacant by the death over
a year ago of Dr. William R. Va-
lentiner, said he had hoped the
committee would report on Byrnes’
qualifications.
Mrs. J. H. V. Davis said a “un
fortunate split in the leadership”
of the society and the board on the
issue has been detrimental to the
museum and the board. But, she
said, “I don’t think unanimously
acceptir^ a director will amend
this split.”
The board meeting was follow
ed by a session of the society’s
members as the state’s annual Cul
ture Week program went into its
second day.
Soviet Students

marily of a theeretical nature.”
WASHINGTON (^)—President
Eisenhower may try today to
break the tight steel labor dead
lock by criticizing both the in
dustry and Steelworkers Union,
at his news conference.
Fed?ral mediators were ob
viously discouraged at the ada
mant stands evident at renewed
steel peace talks here 'Tuesday.
They were looking to Eisenhow
er for help in getting the union
and industry back into a give-
and-take mood.
The industry has made it
clear it doesn't intend to budge
from a Nov. 15 settlement offer
rejected flatly by the Steelwork
ers Union. The industry now is
trying to sell that offer to the
workers over the umon’s head.
The steel compsmies disclosed
they are circularizing their 500,-
000 employees with descriptive
pamphlets extrolling the wage-
benefit increases contained in
the offer.
Eisenhower Says
U.S. Good Partner
WASHINGTON AP —President
Eisenhower said today that on his
11-nation tour be will try to show
people that the United States is a
good partner in the search for a
peace with justice.
He told a news conference he
would be glad to discuss with In
dian Prime Minister Nehru India’s
b'^rdw troub’es with Red China and
in effect he deplored Red China’s
use of force to settle the issue.
This and similar sp«rific matters
such as the troubles between India
and Pakistan may weH be discussed
as he goes fr«m country to country,
Eisenhower said.
The President told questioners
that his family might be a bit
concerned about his taking on the
heavy burden of the 22,000-mile
journey he will start on Thursday
evening.
But the doctors, he said, exam
ined him three days ago and r^jort
that he is capable of standing the
demands of the trip.
Khrushchev Admits Sending Troops
To Put Down Hungarian Revolution
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY AP —
Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khru
shchev indicated today that he
sent troops and tanks to put down
the 1956 revolution in Hungary
over the opposition of some of his
Kremlin comrades.
"At the time of the counter
revolution in 1956,” he told a meet
ing of workers, “we thought in the
Soviet Union on how we could
help Huneary’s working people
against the counterrevolutionary
forces.
"Some Soviet comrades expres
sed anxiety that any aid would be
misconstrued. But we said that in
time they would see we were right
and we had to help the working
class.”
Khrushchev declared that in
1956 "the saliva of the imperialists
was running in their mouths at the
prospects of Hungary leaving the
Socialist camp.”
“They thought that one by one
they could sever the Socialist coun
tries from their united base,” he
add“d
The Soviet leader took time out
from Hungary’s seventh Commu
nist party congress to address
workers at Budapest’s Ganz-Ma-
way engineering and railway fac
tory.
Khrushchev said the external
forces of imperialism no longer
constitute any danger to the Com
munist bloc.
“Our strength is greater than
their's. Our armaments are better.
Our rockets are on the moon,
the Soviet leader said.
Khrushchev said a relaxation in
Their’s have fallen into the sea,
international tension was not due
to “imperialist efforts, but to ours.
We will see that the warming up
process continues.”
Attack Made On
Singer’s House
NEW YORK Singer Don
Anthony, who has told authori
ties about disc jockey payola,
says his Bronx home has been
attacked by rock-throwing ruf
fians yelling “Stoolie, we’ll get
you!”
He said he also has received
threatening telephone calls Euid
has been subjected to derision
from "kids in bebop hats.”
Police assigned a detective to
the premises to guard Anthony,
31, his wife and their 19-month-
old son, Joey, against futher
incidents.
David J. McDonald, the
union’s president, said the cir
culars were a propaganda gim
mick intended to confuse the
workers and try to win their ap
proval in a mid-January pell by
the government on the employ
ers’ “last offer.”
“Do you think we are dispos
ed in a matter of this conse
quence to be fiddling w i t h a
propaganda gimmick?” asked
chief industry negotiator R.
Conrad Cooper. “I leave it to
you. Obviously not.”
Cooper said, however, that the
industry is going to stand on its
economic position and won’t in
crease its settlement terms.
Asked if this doesn’t amount to
a refusal to bargin in the gov-
ernment-sponsored peace ses
sions, as McDonald .charged.
Cooper denied that is true.
The industry said its offer
would increase its labor costs
by 30 cents per hour per worker
over a three-year contract per
iod. Cooper said it would mean
a 2.7 per cent annual increase
in labor costs. He said steel pro
ductivity as measured by t h e
government has increased only
2.6 per cent in recent years.
