Soviet communist chief Nikita Khrushchev bitterly complained about the fingerprinting requirement to President, Elsenhower during the Geneva summit conference in 1955. Khrushchev contended fingerprinting should be reserved for criminals. As long as the requirement remained, he said, Russians would refuse to visit the United States except under official passports which did not require fingerprinting.

Secretary of State Dulles and Atty. Gen. Brownell, acting on authority given them by Congress a month ago, swept aside the practice of 15 years standing. Dulles and Brownell ruled that in most cases foreigners visiting the United States for a year or less can be given visas without first submitting to fingerprinting.

McClellan said the Senate Rackets Investigation Committee, of which he is chairman, will continue its study of Hoffa and his union. Then he added: "This is also a matter for the Courts." Hoffa was overwhelmingly elected president of the Teamsters in convention last week at Miami Beach, succeeding Dave Beck. The Senate committee Wednesday received a box full of records from the convention's credentials committee. Joseph Konowe, secretary of the credentials committee, said the papers had been thrown out by a hotel maid, who later died.

McClellan," on the other hand, (aid that the delivered records were so incomplete "as to be almost useless."

He said the Senate committee had found where Beck 'instructed the credentials committee to ignore the union constitution. "Without this dictatorial action on the part of Mr.

Beck, Mr. Hoffa, the candidate of his choosing, could not have been elected president of the Teamsters," McClellan said. McClellan also said the constitution was clearly violated on two of its reouirements: that delegations to the convention be selected be fore Sept 1, and that this be done at a general membership meeting of the locals. He specifically mentioned, in this connection, the choice of dele gates from Local 107 in Phila delphia, Hoffa's own Local 299 in Detroit and the Detroit local of Bert Brennan, a Hoffa friend and a union vice president Hoffa returned home to Detroit late Thursday afternoon and was greeted at Willow Run Airport by an estimated 2.000 noisv welcom ers. manv of them from his home Local 229.

In Russian-to-English phonetics it Is pronounced Spoot-neek.

In the Soviet Union It Is applied to a satellite in the field of astronomy (rather than in the Western sense describing; a satellite as an aspect of Iron Curtain politics).

S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge warned the United Nations "we must not miss this chance" to harness for peace outer space missiles "which can blow us to bits." But the Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, speaking after Lodge in the U.N.'s 82-nation Political Committee, made no specific mention of control of missiles. He declared the Western powers as "still unwilling to reach any agreement" He added: "For that reason we call upon the governments of the United States, Britain and France to accept an honest and mutually acceptable agreement It is time to put trickery aside and stop making a good face when the game is lost." Gromyko made only brief reference to the intercontinental missile which the Soviet Union now claims as part of its arsenal. He called attention to the growing power of atomic and hydrogen bombs and the appearance of "intercontinental weapons, capable of reaching any objective on earth."

It whizzed so close to a Navy plane carrying 39 per sons that the pilot said he was "all shook up." An Air Force bomber pilot said he thought for a time it was on a collision course with him, and: When it passed instead of hitting us, excitement turned to awe. The cockpit was lit up like daylight it was a big ball of blue-white fire only five or 10 miles away. "It went by at terrific speed in a descending trajectory from about 50,000 feet trailing a spectacular multi-colored tail.

The American statement advised Khrushchev to heed his own words that a modern war once started is difficult to confine to any pan ticular locality. "That truth should be prayerfully and constantly contemplated by every responsible official ot every country," the statement said.

The American attitude was expressed in the form of comment on an interview Khrushchev gave to a New York Times reporter la Moscow. In this interview, Khrushchev accused Secretary of State Dulles of trying to entice Turkey Into war against Syria. Khrushchev also contended la the interview that Deputy Undersecretary of State Loy Henderson, who visited the Mideast last month, had sought to incite certain Mideast countries against Syria. In reply, the State Department said: "Mr. Khrushchev, who oftea glibly talks of peace, in the same interview now openly threatens Turkey.

"He has referred to the fact that the United States is a long way away from the Middle East, whereas the U.S.S.R. is adjacent "Despite distances he should be under no illusion that the United States, Turkey's friend and ally, takes lightly its obligations In the North Atlantic Treaty or is not de termined to carry out the national policy expressed in the joint Congressional resolution on the Middle East." Turkey and the United States are among the 15 westera countries banded together In the Atlantic Pact and pledged to go to the assistance of any partner attacked. The State Department reply not only rejected as "completely un founded" Khrushchev's accusa tions but it stoutly defended Tur key in these words: "Turkey, a respected member of the United Nations, is an independent nation fully capable ol determining its own policies as well as the measures necessary for the defense of Its national security. "This was clearly revealed by the Turkish government's firm reply to the recent note in which the Soviet government openly threatened to mass troops on Turkey's frontier." As for the United States, the Department said it is "of course not pushing Turkey or any other country into war with Syria." Calif.

Warrants for the arrest of the merchants were issued by Justice Centre, safely bailed out after colliding with a plane piloted by 1st Lt. Gary Van Veliet, 25, of Inglewood, Calif.

Veliet also bailed out and escaped uninjured. The men were ordered to jump by their flight commander. The plane either ran out of fuel, Davis-Monthan spokesmen said, or lost altitude at approximately 500 feet a minute. The crash occurred during a flight from Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, Two flights were regrouping 25,000 feet above Mt. Bigelow when Onate's plane hit the tail section of Van Veliet's craft.

Both pilots were ordered to bail-out "a bluish green ball of fire" that "lighted up the whole cockpit" The fireball flashed by the left side of the plane and appeared to have burned out about 1,000 feet below, bursting downward as it flickered out like a Fourth of July skyrocket.

But all agreed the light was vividly bright Some reported Castro had authorized felony com plaints charging the men with second degree arson (buildings other than dwellings).

Damage to the counter and ac cessories at the store was esti mated by firemen at about $150. But evidence that the fire apparently was started by crude arsonists mounted as police inves tigators uncovered an amazing number of clues. The witnesses, four airmen and a 21-year-old woman, told sub stantially the same story that led to the arrest of Starr and Gins burg: The airmen, Roger Frank, Eddie H. Conditt, Thomas A. Hicks, and Kenneth Cooper, all of the Mt Lemmon Radar Station, and the woman, Sherrl Darnelle, of 1650 E.

A short stocky man, later Identified by the witnesses as Ginsburg, got out of the car and approached the rear door. After a short time, he entered the building. Meanwhile, the driver of the car, who had pulled up to the side of the store, backed to the rear and got out near the rear door.

A few minutes later both men were seen to reenter the automobile and drive off. The witnesses said they noticed the left taillight of the Cadillac was not functioning. Less than five minutes after the car disappeared the airmen saw a fire inside the Seat Cover King, broke in and attempted to smother the fire on top of a display counter without success. Mrs. Darnelle suffered slight scratches on her right leg from broken glass.

Police and firemen arrived and the blaze was quickly extinguished. The store's owner, his wife, and the manager, Vincent Borgatti, came to the scene a short while later.

He was in a B47 with a crew of three when they spotted the meteor while flying near Ther- mopolis, Wyo. "I didn't have time to think what it might be," he said. "It was coming so fast evasive action would have been useless. It was heading either south or southwest We saw it from quite a way out, approaching from our left rear. For a time it appeared to be on a collision course.

Clark said the plane was "Just a bunch of fragments strewn around." He said the crash site was on level pasture land which has been unused for some time.

The Moscow broadcast said the satellite's real danger period will be Oct. 20-22, when it will pass through meteor debris left by the Halley's Comet. The satellite was outshone by its third-stage rocket in American skies Thursday. An observation team at New Haven, reported sighting the rocket, which gave the satellite the final thrust on its historic spin around the world, at 5:23 a.m.

(EST). Scientists credited the team with providing the first visual fix on the rocket in this country since last Friday's launching. Both the rocket and the radio-equipped globe it carried into the outer atmosphere are considered satellites as they orbit the earth. Dr. JT.

Allen Hynek, director of the optical tracking crew at the Smithsonian Institution Astro- physical Observatory at Cam bridge, said the rocket is larger than the globe and reflects a brighter light. Hynek estimated the two satel lites are about 700 miles apart with the third stage rocket in the lead because it has probably dropped to a smaller orbit. "This is leading up to having two things to watch," he said. "They're just a few minutes apart now but we expect that distance to grow."
