The offer came during the first

taken up with sightseeing and a
public meeting attended by more
than 150,000 persons. The two lead-
ers used the occasion to seek
strengthening of Soviet-Indian ties,
but Prime Minister Nehru gave no
hint whether he is ready to con-
vert already cordial relations into
a firm embrace.

ir Replaces Friendship
In R
s Cold War Arsenal
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
GENEVA, Nee. U Wn—Fear has
been restared as a major weapon
in Moscow’s cold war arsenal.
It seenu certain to be used In-
ereasingly in the months ahead as
Russia tries to compel the Western
powers to accept Soviet control of
Eastern Europe.
A sharp renewal of political con-
flict between the Soviet and At-
lantic power blocs was assured by
the final breakdown of negotiations
in the Big Four conference here
this west. This wrecked Western
estimates that Russia was ready to
begin paying a fairly high price
for peace.
These estimates had grown out
of the summit conference last
July, especially the cordial rela-
tions which Premier Bulganin
seemed to want to develop with
President Eisenhower.
More Intrigue
The foreign ministers meeting
was a test of the meaning of the
summit session after two years of
a Russian peace campaign, which
followed Ite death of Joseph Stal-
Wi. Results of the test show the
correct estimate was not that
Russia’s new rulers were trying to
buy an East-West peace but that
they will play e much more intri-
cate end aggressive game.
They were trying to eliminate
problems which profited Russia
little and irritated the outside
world much. They were trying to
make friends for the Soviet sys-
tem and to divide the West by
making a show of inexpensive con-
They were trying to take some
of Ite danger out of the world
war, lower its costs to themselves
and get time in which t catch up
with Ite West in armaments. They
were undoubtedly also probing for
any Western willingness to make
big concessions.
In Two Ways
The generalized talk of the sum-
mit conference served the Soviet
purpose of peaceful display But
the hard-boiled negotiations of the
West in recent weeks threatened
to force the Russians beyond their
depth in two ways.
The United States, Britain and
France pressed them heavily to
begin giving up East Germany.
There is also evidence, according
to well-informed Western authori-
ties, that the people in the Eastern
European satellite states were be-
ginning to take the Bulganin-
Khrushchev soft-talk seriously end
to grow more restive under Soviet
domination.
• At any rate. Foreign Minister
Molotov laid down a tough line
here barring any concessions. On
his way home Molotov confirmed
the new Soviet line in Berlin by
reviving talk about a new war
This has been a basic element of
Soviet fear propaganda in the past
but had virtually disappeared be-
fore the summit meeting.

eign policy hesitant and faltering.”
Disasterous Game
He said that in the Middle East-
ern controversy between Israel
and her Arab neighbors “the State
Department is trying to play both
ends against the middle, a game
which too often leads to disaster.”
In national affairs, Kefauver
charged the Eisenhower adminis-
tration has adopted a “deliberate
policy” geared to liquidate the
small farmers of this nation.”
The Republicans don’t plow un-
der crops, they are engaged in
plowing under the farmer,” he de-
cared.
Kefauver, who charged yester.
To Use Fear
Russia is backing the East Ger-
man government for recognition by
the West. It seems clear that on
this point, just as in the Soviet
drive for sn anti-NATO, all-Euro-
pean security system, the’Soviet
leaders are again prepared to
make a weapon of fear by posing
threats to the lifeline of blockade-
conscious Berlin.
In the Middle East, Czecho-
Slovakia's sale of anna to Egypt
haa created new tensions of exact-
ly the sort that the summit's
"spirit of Geneva” was supposed
to wipe out
The nature of Russia’s problems
and the moves it is now developing
suggest Soviet rulers are moving
into the first of two stages of strat-
egy designed to achieve Russia's
major policy aims:
L A period of consolidating the
Communist position in Eastern Eu-
rope, including East Germany.
Molotov made clear the Russians
were determined not to fall back

Committee was favoring the can-

Communist rule. Nevertheless, the
general opinion here was that thia
had been a good day for the Rus-
sians. Westerners here expressed
belief tonight that no country to
the world stood closer to India
than Russia.
The sightseeing tour gave the
Russians a chance to be seen by
thousands of Indians. The visitors
were at their smiling best, waving
straw hats, signing autographs for
children and gazing with tourist-
like awe at the city's sights.
When they placed a floral wreath
on the site of the cremation of
Indian independence leader Mo-
handas K. Gandhi, the significance
of their action yas not lost on In-

scribed by the Kremlin as “reac-
tionary.” ,

Dallasites Reject
Special Car Tax
DALLAS, Nov. It un—Dallas
County voters defeated a proposed
special car tax today by a narrow
margin of 395 votes.
Final returns showed 23,646 votes
opposed to the tax and 23,251 for.
Most precincts to Dallas, High-
land Park and University Park
voted for the tax by top-heavy
margins.
Grand Prairie, South Dallas, sub-
urban and rural areas voted heavi-
ly against the tax as they did in
the first election Oct 1.
The special tax on cars to finance
right - of + ways for new high-
way would amount to one-third
the cost of regular state license
plates or $3 an axle on a truck
or bus.
Both those in favor of the tax
and those opposed waged vigorous
campaigns.
Car-Train Smashup
Kills Electra Girl
ELECTRA, Tex., Nov. 1» UN-
Ruby Joyce Bounds, It, was killed
and three others injured cirtically
in the crash of an auto and a
train at a crossing in Electra to-
night.
The injured were: The dead girl’s
brother, Clyde, 26; her sister, Beat-
rice, 13; and Ruby McIntyre, 15.
They are in an Electra hospital.
WEATHER DATA
(Continued from Pg. 1-Al
His Dec. 13 flight would mean an
earlier return to Washington than
previously expected.
An administrative aide said the
telegram from Washington sum-
moning Johnson did not give de-
talls of the conference.
As usual where Johnson’s friends
gather, there was some indirect
reference to him as presidential
material.
Among other things, 1 float in
the homecoming parade depicted
two of Johnson’s homes: the farm
where he lived as a boy near John-
son City, Tex., and his college resi-
dence here, and one other house—-
the White House.
Johnson has repeatedly insisted
he is not a candidate for anything.
In his speech Johnson stuck in
foreign policy and to recollections
of his college days as a janitor,
salesman, and secretary to the col-
lege president.
Praises Sen. George
“The American people have
passed the stage where foreign
policy is a politicking issue,”
Johnson said. “There are still in-
dividuals who seek partisan ad-
vantage from that kind of poli-
tics. They hsve harassed svery
president for to years.”
"Americans have adopted the
concept of bipartisanship in for-
eign affairs,” Johnson said. Again
he departed from his text to praise
Sen. Walter George (D-Ga) for his
"inspired leadership.”
Johnson said he did not mean
foreign policy should be ires of
"legitimate debate." Every move
should “be subjected to careful ex-
amination, he said.
Vernon Whiteside, the Houston
businessman who created a stir
yesterday by saying Johnson would
announce for the Democratic presi-
dential nomination in his San Mar-
cos speech, drew laughter today.
He told the homecomers his
former college roommate had
achieved great success as a mam-
bar of the House of Representatives
as senior senator from Texas, aa
senate majority leader, and (after
a pause) “as blank, blank, blank.”
Loud laughter greeted White-
tide's obvious reference to his as-
section of yesterday. Whiteside
withdrew his statement about John-
son's presidential aspirations two
hours after making it, saying he
had made a mistake.
Searchers Unable
To Locate Plane
CARLISLE, Ps , Nov. 19 Wn—A
Widespread ground search in the
central Pennsylvania mountains by
automobile and foot today failed
to turn up any trace of a plane
reported to trouble in a snow
storm.
Low visibility, with intermittent
snow, prevented airplanes from
joining in the search. Dael Mur-
phy, Civil Defense coordinator of
Cumberland County, said pianos
would circle the area as soon as
weather conditions permit.
While no airplanes were reported
missing, Murphy said almost a
score of persons in the South
Mountain area around Mount Hol-
ly Springs reported hearing a
plane that appeared to be in trou-
ble during last night. Some also
reported seeing a flare in a gully
“It seems to have been a ghost
plane,” Murphy said. “It came out
of thin air and vanished into thin
air. No one knows where it came
from and ne see knows where it
was going."
