Khrushchev that this country is heading toward socialism. "And I am not going to be a party to it," Eisenhower declared.

He said it is up to both business and labor to exercise "statesmanship" to forego uncalled-for price and wage increases and for government to practice "sound, sane policies." Otherwise, he said, "there is real danger of inflation." Eisenhower made these emphatically-voiced comments to 215 reporters in the course of answering questions which ranged from the hydrogen bomb to the civil rights controversy. He said this country has "no intention of pulling back" its offer to seek agreement on ending hydrogen bomb tests even though some of the nation's top scientists have told him it will benefit mankind if the tests continue. ern weapons on the way, brushed aside today a demand by Communist North Korea for an international conference to arrange withdrawal of all foreign troops from this divided nation.

About 30 of the young musicians and their chaperones were put to bed with food poisoning in a hospital near Monday and Tuesday, but all 93 band members were up and able to parade through downtown San Francisco right on schedule yesterday morning. The contest, in which 40 to 50 bands from all over the country paraded, was held at 9:45 a.m. yesterday. It is sponsored annually by Lions International.

Winners were announced in the late afternoon. Band Director Kenneth L. Green, by long distance telephone, listed other winners as: Bonham Brothers Band, San Diego, second; Mississippi All-State Band, third; Brecken-ridge High of San Antonio, fourth; and White Oaks. and Weldonians of California in a tie for fifth. Green said his 93 happy young charges were so "thrilled" and "excited" they could "tear up the hotel." The group is staying in San Francisco's Pickwick Hotel.

The band won first place in last year's contest, held at the convention of Lions International in Miami, Fla.

WARNING FLAG Black and red hurricane warning flags were ordered hoisted as far west at High Island. At the same time, storm warnings were lowered east of Louisiana to Pensacola, Fla.

The Louisiana Civil Defense Agency in New Orleans went on a 24-hour work schedule and civil defense units throughout southern Louisiana were ordered to throw all their resources to meet the situation. All National Guard units in southern Louisiana were alerted for possible emergency duties.

GENEVA AGREEMENT Litzenberg told the Reds the pres CLEAN BOMBS' The President said he has been assured the scientists can develop a bomb "absolutely clean" of radioactive fallout in another four or five years. And he said he has been informed the tests must continue in order to find the best peacetime uses of atomic energy. On civil rights and related matters, Eisenhower said all Americans must respect the duties and obligations of the Supreme Court even though non-lawyers like himself may have "very great trouble" understanding some of its recent decisions.

He disagreed with a newsman's suggestion that the court has no way of defending itself from heavy attacks on its series of decisions whether crude oil is being imported "in such quantities as to threaten to impair the national security." Creation of the committee was termed a follow-up to what the White House called Eisenhower's indication last April that he felt at that time there was ''reason for belief" that imports did threaten to impair national security. The language is from tariff laws which permit restrictions on imports if they become a threat to this country's basic defense industries. The President named Secretary of Commerce Weeks to head the committee, which includes Secretary of State Dulles, Secretary of Defense Wilson, Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey, Secretary of Interior Seaton and Secretary of Labor Mitchell. Eisenhower instructed committee members to report their findings and recommendations at "the earliest and practicable date." Hussey said at his Shreveport home that "rather obviously the members of the Cabinet can't do the work themselves. They must delegate it.

have arisen had your side proceeded in good faith to negotiate the peaceful settlement envisaged by the (Geneva) armistice agreement." "The burden of responsibility rests with your side." he said, "because your side failed to demonstrate any sincerity in meeting th. obligations under the armistice agreement." The present situation stems from what the U.N. Command calls consistent and repeated violations by North Korea and her Chinese ally of an armistice ban on the introduction of new weapons since the shooting stopped in 1953. The U.N. Command notified the Communists last Friday that, because of the Red violations, it would no longer be bound by that provision of the armistice.

New planes, tanks and guns are to bolster the armed forces south of the armistice line. About 80,000 American troops and 5.000 others from U.N. nations stand guard with South Korea's army. According to South Korean intelligence, the North Koreans have a re-equipped army of 400,000 men and Chinese garrisons totaling 350.000, backed by at least a million Red Chinese troops across the Yalu River in Manchuria.

Eisenhower said the justices "lay out the whole works" in their opinions, adding that the dissents sometimes have had more effect in the long run than the majority opinions. "I still believe," he said, "that the United States respects the Supreme Court and looks to it as one of the great stabilizing influences in this country. PRESIDENT RESPONSIBLE Eisenhower said that when the court hands down a unanimous decision, as it did in the school case, that puts "certain responsibilities" on the President.

That, he said, is why he has asked Congress to set up a commission to decide just what these responsibilities are. Describing his whole civil rights program as intended to educate, rather than persecute people, Eisenhower said he regarded as "a very moderate, decent thing" his proposal that those disobeying court orders be subject to penalties without jury trial. This has been the most hotly contested section of his civil rights bill, which has been passed by the House and now awaits Senate action.

The naval base, which is located near Pensacola, was alerted yesterday that the hurricane was expected to pass over that area. Steps were immediately taken to evacuate all base aircraft to Barksdale. The big SAC base is the official "refuge base" for the naval air station according to already formulated evacuation plans. All of the planes were T28 trainers, a propeller driven aircraft used for training Navy and Marine Corps pilots. The planes, which arrived between 3:30 and 6 p.m., are expected to be here for several days until the threat of hurricane damage passes, according to Commander William W.

S. representative Harold E. Stassen. Its acceptance at least in principleby Britain, France, Russia and Canada appeared to remove one log jam to agreement on a partial disarmament treaty. Both Russia and the United States previously had suggested that the reduction of conventional arms be carried out on a percentage basis, with initial cuts of 10 to 15 per cent.

Britain and France had objected that flat percentage cuts would work to their disadvantage because of their smaller and possibly less amply equipped armies. Stassen's plan would work this way: Britain, France, the United States and Russia would draw up their own lists of the planes, tanks, Hussey said the President has already been informed that imports are at a "crisis" level, and said appointing another committee is just delaying the matter. The commissioner said he thinks the President has made a mistake in not having better liaison with state regulatory authorities, and he added that such authorities are certain to be alienated if the new committee does not invite them to sit in, at least as observers, and give them a chance to present their case. "All we have had out of the administration so far," Hussey said, "is sweet talk and letters." He added that the major oil importers will never limit imports so long as they are virtually tax free.

Cleveland said the National Guard would be made available if any storm emergency develops plus "the entire facilities of the state." Coast Guard headquarters in New Orleans said all its facilities from Port O'Conner, to Apa-lachicola, have been placed under hurricane alert.

Units have been fueled to capacity, personnel recalled and provisions laid in for a week. Coast Guard units are warning isolated craft and planes from Corpus Christi, and Biloxs, are dropping messages to isolated communities telling of the hurricane warning. The course of a hurricane utj-ally does not keep a straight line and there was a possibility Audrey would veer toward Mississippi and other parts of the eastern Gulf Coast. The Weather Bureau issued storm warnings all along the coast from Galveston, to Panama City, Fla. Its hurricane warning was limited to the Louisiana coast.

If Audrey keeps its current course and slashes Louisiana, the biggest property damage probably would be felt by oil companies that keep expensive drilling equipment in the Gulf. Flossie, the last hurricane to hit Louisiana, caused oil drilling damage of about one million dollars last year. WASHINGTON, June 26 President Eisenhower said today this country will stand by its offer to seek agreement with Russia on halting nuclear weapon testing even though some op U.S. scientists urge that the tests continue.

Adm. Arleigh Burke made the statement aboard this 6th U. S. Fleet flagship amid increased Russian naval activity in the Mediterranean. A Russian cruiser and several destroyers have just passed through the Mediterranean from the Black Sea to the Atlantic.

Russia also recently delivered three submarines to Egypt. Burke said the delivery to Egypt constituted a threat to the 6th Fleet "but not a significant one." The graying, four-star admiral spoke with newsmen as the Salem, a heavy cruiser, plowed through the Tyrrhenian Sea south of Naples. A force with it included the super carrier Forrestal, the carrier Lake Champlain, the cruiser Newport News and smaller units. Simultaneously with new Russian moves in the Mediterranean the 6th Fleet now is conducting exercise "Rosie Rosie" for a test of NATO defenses of Italy, Greece and Turkey. Burke dodged all so-called intelligence questions on how many Russian submarines are in the Mediterranean.

"If there are some I wouldn't be able to say so. If I said there weren't any you wouldn't believe me," he commented. "I personally have not seen any." But, said Burke, "Russian submarines are not to be taken lightly. Russia has built more of them in a year than we have since the war. they are a threat a great threat." He estimated Russia now has more than 450 submarines in 7:, Magazine, a trade publication.
