lose Heirdom) IPyteclhi jChiriLDslhichev's Toirodle Aeiy the whole U2 incident and ended the day by sympathizing with him. Khrushchev's savage attack was responsible for this transformation. Instead of dividing the Western allies, who were already divided despite their protestations to the contrary, Khrushchev united them. This leaves the intriguing question of why Khrushchev chose to perform Monday as he did. One persistent answer to this in the Frcvnch capital Monday night was that Khrushchev did not make the choice by himself but that he was under strong pressure from the Soviet 4 I Nixon Sees Struggle hierarchy to use the U2 case to further Moscow's policy on Berlin, After Khrushchev threw mil his thunderbolt at the Elysee Palace Monday morning, his henchmen were at great pains to explain to reporters that this did not mean that the Soviet Union was now prepared to create a new and larger crisis by making a separate peace treaty with the Communist East (ierman government.

Despite these protestations, however, the Judgment of the best western diplomats at this conference is that this is precisely what Khrushchev was preparing to do. According lo this thesis, the USSR, not just Khrushchev hut the whole Communist apparatus, has come to the conclusion that it cannot have both a calm international atmosphere and Berlin, and that It has decided to destroy the former In order to promote Its policy of capturing the latter. So long as it appeared that President Eisenhower might be willing to make concessions to the Soviet Union on Berlin, he was useful and even hopeful figure in Moscow, So long, too, as the policy of personal diplomacy and international goodfollowship helped promote the possibility of an accommodation on Berlin, the Soviet hierarchy was willing to go along with It, even if it began to give the Soviet people some funny Ideas about freedom and the good life, Rut once It began to become apparent that Elsenhower was coming to his last summit meeting without bearing gifts on Berlin, the mood In Moscow changed. So, at least, is the thesis of those diplomats who think this crisis Is not about the American spy In the sky but about the American intimations of pie in the sky over Berlin. Accordingly, there was strong feeling In Paris Monday night that the USSR, having boomed the idea of friendship with Eisenhower as a man of peace, having decided that he was not going to give them what hey wanted, decided to use the U2 case to move over to a harder policy directed at the conquest of Berlin.

This does not mean that the revelation that the U2 flights over the USSR for the last four years were not by themselves a serious Issue in the Soviet mind. These flights demonstrated that the Soviet defenses were not as invulnerable as had been believed, even by many observers in the West, They also demonstrated that while Elsenhower was talking to Khrushchev, he was also personally responsible for a planned system of aerial Intrusion within Soviet borders. No doubt this did surprise and disappoint the Soviet leader, but the feeling here is that, more Important, It provided just the Incident that was needed to give the opponents of Khrushchev's policy the upper hand. This was particularly true, in the opinion of responsible diplomats here, because as part of his policy, Khrushchev was talking about raising living standards and abolishing armies, Including the Soviet army, and the thought of being abolished, even as a theory, apparently did not delight the high and powerful officers In that organisation. This speculative theory may of course, be all 'wrong, but the fart is that Marshal Mallnovsky, the high chieftain of the Red Army, has been In-like-Flynn here in every move Khrushchev made.

dent Eisenhower had reassured Khrushchev that the sky-spy flights had been grounded and Khrushchev knew it. Secondly, while Khrushchev said that his country could not "be among the participants in negotiations where one of them (the United States) has made treachery the basis of his policy," the truth was that his henchmen were running all over the Palais Chaillot Monday night saying that, of course, the Soviet Union did not mean to break off negotiations in Geneva with those "treacherous' American characters who were en-g'cd in the talks on disarmament and the suspension of nuclear testing. Third, the aforementioned Soviet officials were also saying that while President Eisenhower had really been very irresponsible in the spy-in-the-sky case, and was not wanted as a visitor in Moscow, actually, he was a pleasant man, who had merely come close to the end of his term and therefore had no authority to negotiate big issues. On some points there was general agreement here, namely, that Khrushchev's performance was a masterpiece of bad judgment, bad manners, and bad diplomacy. In fact, nobody here thought this morning that it was possible for the Soviet Union to equal what were widely condemned as the blunders of the U.S.

in the last two weeks, but the conclusion here Monday night was that Khrushchev actually topped them. It was perfectly clear that the Soviet leader did not come here to negotiate but to attack, not to remove difficulties with the U.S. but to exploit them, not to reach a reconciliation with President Eisenhower but to kick him when he was down. This astonished Paris. Most observers started out this morning condemning Eisenhower for the clumsiness of By JAMES RESTON 1MO Nw Yrk Tlmn N.wl ttrvlc PARIS, May 16 The general reaction in Paris Monday night was that the situation wasn't at bad ai it looked for the simple, illogical reason that nothing could be quite that bad.

On the open record, there was a crisis of impressive proportions. Nikita Khrushchev, premier of the Soviet Union, had accused the President of the United States of "treachery." He bad demanded that the government of the United States apologize to the Soviet Union for sending planes over Soviet territory, promise never to do It again, and punish the people responsible. This was, In effect, a request that President Eisenhower punish, or maybe evea Impeach, himself. In short, Khrushchev brought up everything but "the lynchings in the south" and insisted that unless the President cried "uncle" the Soviet Union could not "be among the participants in negotiations" with such a country. All this was news of boxcar-headline proportions, but was there a difference between what was "news" and what was "truth?" This was the question being asked in Paris Monday night.

The reaction of those few experienced and detached diplomats who were not blown over by Khrushchev's itorm was that there was an enormous difference. In the first place, while it was "news" that Khrushchev had come in here with what President Eisenhower had called an "ultimatum" not to carry out any more flights over the Soviet that Presi I Lasting For Lifetime WASHINGTON, May II t-Vlce President Richard M. Nixon said Monday that regardless of what happens in Paris this week the struggle between the Russian and American way of life "will go on for our lifetime, probably for this century." The Vice President declined to make any more specific statement on the breakdown of the summit negotiations, saying, "I have been thoroughly briefed, of course, but I make it a policy not to comment while these things are in progress." Nixon said "Whether Mr. Khrushchev stays In Paris or goes home, whether he changes his mind about his Invitation to the President, the struggle between the two ways of life won't be decided In Paris this week or next week."

JV7U San Pedro Deal Hits New Snag Necessary Papers Yet To Be Signed The City of Tucson has still not acquired the controversial San Pedro River Valley water-bearing lands. Final action on the deal was expected yesterday but City Atty. Jack G. Marks reported to the City Council that none of the three parties concerned had yet signed the necessary papers. Marks told the Council that Norman S.

Hull, attorney for the trust which originally offered 2,200 acres to the city for $660,000, was out of town and had told John Wilkie, vice president of the Arizona Land Title and Trust to sign no papers until he had approved them. Originally the trust had exercised its option to buy almost 19,000 acres. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd W.

However, In the tempest that fol- lowed revelation of the sums involved, the trust turned over its rights to the entire parcel to the i city. The city is now to deal directly with the Golders, but cannot do so until the trust legally signs over its rights. Presumably, the Golders had only until yesterday to sign the option. Marks said that despite their failure to do so, he felt the city would not be hampered in its efforts to acquire the property if the option between the trust and the Golders was "properly sumed.

After Khrushchev repeated his Insistence on an American apology and punishment of those responsible for the U2 flight, the three-hour session broke up without agreement on whether to meet again. British Prime Minister Macmll-lan had separate talks with De Gaulle, Eisenhower and Khrushchev in an effort to revive the conference, but failed to get an agreement from Khrushchev. Macmillan-Khrushchev contacts were to continue Tuesday, however. Reaction Ivan Supports Tough Words Of Premier LONDON.

May 16 Iffv-Moscow radio Monday kept up an almost unchecked chorus of support for Nikita Khrushchev's tough and uncompromising stand at the Paris Summit meeting. Normal programs were disrupt- eded to make way for a stream of comment from plasterers, en-gineers and factory workers. All the apparatus of Soviet sol-'idarity was evident. "We completely support the statements of Comrade Khrush-jchev," an engineer was quoted as saying. "This is a profound lesson for the American imperialists," said a welder.

"Comrade Khrushchev has our complete backing." In factories across the Soviet Union, workers were kept in touch with the summit developments over loudspeakers. The radio carried no word of President Eisenhower's declaration that espionage flights over the Soviet Union had been stopped and would not be resumed. Exercise News Impartially MAY 17, I960 'It's Over-Eve rything Is Over' Taut Drama Unfolds Before Journalists By A. M. ROSENTHAL (i I960 Ntw York Tlmtt lirvlc PARIS, May 16 -The secret struggles of the heavily guarded summit conference room were spread before the world Monday in one of the bitterest political propaganda battles between the United States and the Soviet Union since the end of World War II.

From the moment that Premier Khrushchev began reading his charges of aggression and treachery against the United States and announced he would tell the world what he had to say, the impact of the summit was switched from Gen. De Gaulle's presidential palace to a crowded peeling building a mile or so away on the right bank of the Seine. On the fourth floor of that building, in two hot and noisy conference rooms, before about 2,000 correspondents and blinding lights television, the representatives of President Eisenhower and Pre mier Khrushchev fought for public opinion. Mikhail A. Kharlamov, the taut, wiry spokesman of the Soviet Foreign Office, rushed from the Elysee Palace to the press center to do one job and do it fast: to put Khrushchev's charges and decisions out to the world before the United States had a chance to tell its own story.

For three hours, from the moment President Eisenhower walked into the Elysee meeting room and sat down without a word to Premier Khrushchev, until the moment the two men turned away from the table without a good-bye or a handshake, tion for the timing of the exercise to get the commanders to account quickly for the readiness of their forces. Unofficially, some senior officers referred to it as a "prudent precaution" to test defense readiness. The unwillingness of defense of- ficials to talk about the operation raised speculation that the timino related to the summit conference. At least one unit commander read this meaning into his orders. Navy Capt.

Russell Trudeau, who commands at San Diego, the only Navy fighter squadron under the North American Air Defense Command, said flatly "things are in a bad shape around the world." He added: "The situation could become serious very quickly." Like other air unit commanders, Trudeau promptly doubled his ready-alert force and at last word had this increased force ready to go on five minutes' notice. New Way To Cut Colorado River Pie Proposed WASHINGTON, May 1( (jet-Rep. Craig Hosmer (R-Calif) proposed Monday that California, Arizona and Nevada agree on new principles for the use of Colorado River water. He suggested a tri-state water-power authority to operate all present and future water and power projects on the river under an interstate compact that would eliminate priorities for irrigation. Advocating water allocations in accordance with the "actual economic needs for growth, development and expansion of the three states," Hosmer said water in the arid West Is 50 times more valuable for manufacturing than for irrigation.

He said 1,000 gallons of water produces only about 10 cents worth of irrigated farm produce, while industry manufactures $3 worth of products for the same water consumption. Hosmer said his proposal had nothing to do with California's disappointment over a tentative Supreme Court special master's report favoring Arizona In litigation over division of Colorado River water. Regardless of the ultimate court decision, Hosmer said, none of the three states can progress unless water is used "to the highest advantage." PARIS, May 111 tTv-These were the main developments on the opening day of the Big-Four summit conference. Soviet Premier Khrushchev refused to negotiate with President Eisenhower unless the President repudiated U.S. spy flights over the Soviet Union and punished those responsible for the mission of the U2 plane shot down near Sverdlovsk on May 1.

Khrushchev withdrew the Invitation for Eisenhower to visit the Soviet Union next month, declaring such a visit would be "hypocrisy" at this time. President Eisenhower announced the spy flights had been stopped and would not be re British, Russ John Bull's Press Denounces Nikita LONDON, Tuesday. May 17 tv-British newspapers denounced Soviet Premier Khrushchev in headlines and editorials today for his performance at the Paris Big Four meeting. "Mr. Khrushchev presented America with an open ultimatum of a most humiliating sort, combined with a personal snub to President Eisenhower," said the London Times.

"Instead of playing patiently for agreement, he asked the Americans to grovel. This is much more than overplaying a good hand. "When Russian leaders turn on their heels and threaten it is a gloomy reminder of the days which brought the (NATO) Alliance into being and of its continuing necessity." Some newspapers asked why Khrushchev went to Paris at all if he meant to wreck the Summit. He might have done it just as well from Moscow, they pointed out. Fears were expressed that the world was in for another savage bout of cold war.

Officials at Corps installation, in the world-wide But the British said contact is being maintained with the Russians on the off chance that the breach could be healed.

Macmillan and Khrushchev are expected to confer again today. President Elsenhower, described as Impassively sitting through Khrushchev's summit tirades over the U2 spy plane episode and then letting his fury show later in private at the American embassy residence, was understood to be awaiting the outcome of Macmillan's efforts. The fourth summit principal, the host President Charles de Gaulle, was filled in as was Eisenhower on Macmillan's report of the Soviet mood. The big four meeting turned into a debacle at the outset in a bitter trading of cold war blasts between Khrushchev and Eisenhower. Glum as a hearse driver, Macmillan then under took to try pulling the pieces together again on his round of private talks with De Gaulle, Eisenhower and, finally, with Khrushchev.

The Macmillan-Khrushchev meeting broke up 15 minutes before midnight without an agreement for the Big Four to come together again. Although maintaining contact, the British were gloomy and held out but slim hopes. In the opening summit round Khrushchev bit-terly declared he could not negotiate now unless Eisenhower apologized for the plane Incident. He withdrew the invitation for the President to visit Russia next month. Outside the conference Eisenhower angrily accused Khrushchev of insulting the United States.

He said Khrushchev had come all the way from Moscow to wreck the conference and "brushed aside all argu year It is an increase of 17.44 per cent overall. Tha 17 per cent figure is somewhat deceiving, because municipalities are allowed only a 10 per cent increase per year. There are several exclusions to this requirement the effect of annexation is one and the manager said the city is not using its full legal allotment The estimated revenues for 1960-61 equal the budget and show an Increase of $1,526,984 over current revenues Public hearings on the budget are scheduled for July 5. Bulk of the Increase In die budget is attributed to the recent annexation of 25.03 square miles and to the cost-of-living pay boost given city employes early this year. The two account for bout one million dollars.

The present budget is for but has been augmented by two emergancy excesses totaling more than half a million. Major projects envisioned In the budget are the creation of a night court and the sealing of 50 miles of city streets. Homer told the Council that the Increasingly heavy volume of court cases coming before the two city magistrates and the lack of space for establishment of a second court room necessitates the recommendation for establishment of a night court. Homer said failure to act on this item would mean that the time between the infraction of a city law and a trial will "increase beyond acceptable limits." He added that there is now a three-month lag. Combining the planned 50 miles of sealing with a similar amount accomplished during this fiscal year will constitute substantial headway in meeting the city's street maintenance problem, the manager said.

However, he warned that "this does not provide an answer for the replacement of temporary type pavements inherited in the annexation area along major arteries such as 22nd St" The manager's budget report also hints at the possibility of a bond election during the 1960-61 fiscal year. Noting that present bond funds will be spent or committed to their designated projects during the next few months, he said that his office will submit "very shortly" recommendations for such a vote. Among the possible bond items he touched upon were fire pro- (Continued on Page IB, Col. I) HAROLD MACMILLAN In Peacemaker's Role only the 24 people In the summit chamber knew the tense story. Less than an hour later, the loudspeakers in the press center blared word that a Soviet press conference was coming.

Kharlamov and two interpreters walked on to the stage of the huge room set aside for the Soviet delegation and within a few minutes the Soviet Union had its story before the world. First in French and then in English, the translators, a few paragraphs at a time, read the statement Khrushchev had made. There was no mention at the Soviet press conference that the President of the United States had met one of the Soviet leader's demands by pledging that there would be no more flights over Soviet territory. Khrushchev's words, read dryly and without expression by the interpreters, came like a series of quick electric shocks in the room. After every paragraph people would turn to each other, unbelieving.

It's over, everything Is over." That was said time and again. Halfway through, an American grabbed his friend by the shoulder and whispered: "A few years ago, this would have meant a war. Do you think it could mean a war now?" On the stage, Kharlamov sat silent while the interpreters read on.

The secret, worldwide exercise came shortly before the collapse of the Paris aummit conference and raised a theory that the two developments were linked. The Defense Department refused any direct comment on the timing of the exercise which came a few hours before the abortive start of die summit meeting. But early Monday night the Pentagon announced that Secretary of Defense Thomas S.

In the conference he strongly defended the U2 flights as necessary to assure the West against surprise attack, but announced the flights had been suspended "and are not to be resumed." This announcement was a surprise. The order to suspend the flights, Western officials said, was issued last Thursday to the U. S. Secretary of Defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Secretary of State Christian A.

Herter was informed of the order, the informants said, but otherwise the President kept his decision secret in order to announce it at the summit. The Thursday order was only a day after the President's Washington news conference state ments on the necessity of tha flights for U. S. security were interpreted as meaning the flights would continue. The Soviet leader cancelled the Eisenhower visit to Russia the comment that the Russians would not be able "to receive the President with proper cordiality." Khrushchev called for a delay of six or eight months in the Big Four session a delay which would convene it near or beyond the end of Eisenhower's second four-year term.
