Officials of the U.S. Air Force and Defense Department withheld comment on the report The magazine said the Russian bomber was completed six months ago and has been flying in the Moscow area for at least two months.

UPV-Communlst-threatened West Berlin has a mew pledge from President Eisenhower that its freedom will be safeguarded by the United States. The pledge that the U.S. Intends to meet that responsibility, shared by Britain and France, waa reaffirmed by the President after he and Secretary of State Dulles discussed the Berlin situation at an hour long conference yester- day.

They talked at the Augusta National Golf Club as President Eisenhower made plans to end his working vacation tomorrow and fly back to Washington. His 13-day visit started Nov. 20. Back in the capital the President will face the task of completing the legislative program and the, federal budget he will send to the new Congress in January. He probably will bold conferences with the congressional leaders.

No date for flight testing a nuclear-powered plane has been announced.

Aviation Week said the Russian plane is powered with two nuclear engines and two conventional jet engines. The nuclear plants develop 70,000 pounds of thrust each, and the jets 33,000 each.

So, it Fong's wrists hold up, and his seven roomates can pour enough black coffee down his throat to keep him awake, he may collect as much as $150. Beethoven's third piano concerto has been programmed to get the thing rolling and the same composer's "Sonata Pathe-tlque" is to drag lt over the finish line. The weird wager, which Fong secured over the weekend at 3-1 odds, calls for only three recognizable tunes per hour.

Fong will be allowed four half-hour meal breaks a day, at 8 a.m., 12 noon, 6 p.m., and 1:30 a.m. Guards will stay up with him all night to make sure he doesn't doze off.

A major advantage of a nuclear-powered plane is that it might be flowns for days or weeks without refueling. Among major obstacles to its development are the need for special metals able to withstand the intense heat of an atomic reactor, and the weight of the shielding now considered necessary to protect the crew from radiation. Reds' Whistle Plan to Greet Dulles Fails MEXICO CITY W) Mexicans mostly ignored Communist pleas! Secretary of State Dulles on his1 arrival for the inauguration or weigns auu.uuu pounas. is iwLj in a brief statement after meeting Mr. Dulles said: "The President reiterated our government's firm purpose that the United States will not enter into any arrangement or embark on any course of conduct which would have the effect of abandoning the responsibilities which the United States, with Great Britain and France, has formally assumed for the freedom and security of the people of West Berlin." That in effect was a fresh rejection of Russia's Thanksgiving Day proposal for creation of a demilitarized "free" city of West Berlin.

Moscow at the same time declared void the four-power occupation agreement for Berlin which was reached after World War II. The Soviet note on its plan gave the western powers six months to enter into negotiation for establishment of a free city. The Russians added that failure to do so would put the plan into effect automatically at the end of tha' period. The swift U.S. reaction was tha Russia was proposing to keep it.

Victory in Assembly Assures De Gaulle's Election as President PARIS Rlghtrwingers wav ing the banner of Premier Charles de Gaulle flattened the Communists, badly more moderate parties, and swept to firm control of the new French National Assembly to day. The Communists held 22 9 per cent of the popular vote but cap tured only 10 of the 149 seats they had held In the last National Assembly In the man-to-man runoff elections in France yester day.

Among the losers was the fiery Communist mouthpiece and organizer, Jacques Duclos. Toppled like shooting gallery ducks were many of the ex-premiers, ministers and wheel-horses of the center parties among them former radical Premier Edgar Faure, Socialist disarmament negotiator Jules Moch, former Socialist Foreign Minister Christian Plneau. for mer Socialist Algerian Administrator Robert Lacoste and for mer Justice Minister Francois Mltterand. SousteHe Gains Power Dark-browed Jacques Sous teHe became the man to watch in the new Fifth Republic. It was Mr.

SousteHe who eluded police, escaped to Algeria and gave political direction to the Rightist movement that crumpled the Fourth Republic last May. His Union for a New Republic (UNR) captured 32.1 per cent of the vote and 188 of the 465 seats from European France. Not since 1946, when Communists elected 174 deputies, has a party held such a large block of seats The conservative votes of 120 Independent and Peasant Depu ties, combined with the UNR's 188, gave the Rightists a clear majority. In addition, the 71 deputies being elected from Algeria and the Sahara were expected to support Mr. SousteHe.

Despite Mr. de Gaulle's desires for a wide range of representation from Algeria, fear of reprisals from both the Nationalist rebels and the French Army restricted the candidates there to those favoring continued close French control. Socialist Power Wanes The Socialists dropped from 93 seats in the old Assembly to 10, ths Catholic Popular Re publicans (MRP) from 74 to 44. The once strong Radical So cialists, a slightly right of cen ter group, declined from 71 to 26 and even this remnant was split Into feuding factions. One of the party's leaders, ex-Premier Pierre Mendes-France, was elim inated in the first round of vot ing.

A new premier will be named after the electoral college picks a new president ofvFrance on Dec. 21. Mr. dexGaulle is cer tain to get the1' presidency, but there has been some speculation that he Jrtight use his influence to keep Mr. SousteHe from the premiership.

Socialist leader uuy Monet and MRP leader Pierre Pflimlin, both ministers of state in Mr. de Gaulle's present cabinet, like ly will head the opposition in the Assembly. The new Assem bly will meet first in January, for a short session. The rightwlng sweep went far beyond the desires of Mr. de GauUe, who refused to lend his name officially to any party or candidate In an effort to remain above politics.

He had hoped for a more balanced representa tion of moderates to effect a liberal settlement of the four- year Nationalist rebellion in Algeria. Included Mr. Soustelle's fol lowing In the new Assembly are four generals and five colonels who used the rightist insurrection In Algeria last May as a springboard to politics.

This will be the third time this year the city has put the beachfront lot, which covers nearly a whole block, up for sale. The buyer would have to build a $750,000 hotel, motel, or apart-, merit house on the site. No bids were received at the two previous sales. The buyer could have a restaurant and cocktail lounge on the Ocean avenue side, stores or shops, if any, would have to be built on Asbury avenue. The building would have to be completed within IS months afer closing of title.

The deed will con tain a reverter clause stating that if the buyer fails to get a firm commitment for financing construction, the city automatically gets the property back and keeps all payments made on the pur chase price.

The Sunday Pictorial said th soothsayer was Tom Cor-bett, 41, from Tlpperary, who used to do his gazing in night clubs. The story said h4 regularly visited the Queen mother's residence, Clarence House, to read the crystal ball for her. The piper speculated that the queen mother wanted to know about Princess Margaret's future, particularly her marriage prospects.

the story concerning the crystal gazer visiting Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother at Clarei.ce House is untrue," said the denial from Buckingham Palace. Royal denials formerly never were issued and still are extremely rare. The last was in May, when the palace denied that Princess Margaret would become engaged to Peter Townsend. the divorced air hero whose love she renounced In 1955. Callers at Corbett's apartment were told he was away and It was not known when he would return.

The Sunday Pictorial said he had refused to comment on the reported sessions with the queen mother or on hints that he has "an even more important client." "Crystal gazers, like doctors, have a code of ethics," he was quoted as saying.
