a a THE KOKOMO TRIBUNE THE KOKOMO DISPATCH KOKOMO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1955 TWENTY-EIGHT PAGES SEVEN CENTS PER Ike Anxious For Big 4 Talks At Lower Level In Car, Semi-Trailer Near Greentown Mrs. Julow was employed at Delco Radio Division, and both men worked in Chrysler Corporation's plant here. Sheriff Tex Scott said the car, driver by the elder Julow, had skidded on the highway-then a "mass of ice," authorities reported -into hte path of the heavy truck. The semi was loaded with some 10 tons of castings from the Hoosier Iron Works. The truck, leased by Hoosier Iron, split after flipping over, and spilled the castings along the road.

Indiana State Trooper Rex Dillman, who investigated with sheriff's department officials, said the accident was witnessed by Ray Hopkins, who lives east of more. Hopkins' pickup truck had slid from the icy highway into a ditch just before the collision. Another late model car ran off the road there at about the same time, but the driver said he did not see the accident. Sheriff Scott said that several vehicles had skidded from the spot of slick pavement, about one-fourth mile west of the Wildcat bridge, during the night and early morning. Seven were reported in ditch there at one time during the night, the sheriff said.

When the Julow car, a 1951 Oldsmobile, was struck, it was thrown against a culvert on one side of Consolidated School Bond Interest Rate to Be 1.9963 Bonds, which the -Center Consolidated School Corporation issuing in the amount of $750,000 to finance construction of elementary schools here, will carry a net interest rate of 1.9963 per cent.

(N--The Pennsylvania Senate Highways Committee has approved a plan to authorize construction of an cast-west extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike from Sharon to Stroadsburg, WASHINGTON President Etsenhower said today that once the. Paris agreements are ratified it might be time for exploratory talks looking toward a meeting of big power chiefs of state. The President told his news conference he would make a lot of concessions to get exploratory talks at a lower level.

But he added it was different when you are. considering a meeting at the summit. What he wanted then, Eisenhower said, was assurance Russians meant business. He said they had violated their promises so often and left us hanging on a limb that it made him Wary. Eisenhower said there was no great difference between his view.

point and that of Sen. George (D- Ga), who has proposed that the President initiate a big power conference meeting. George has said he would want ratification of the Paris agreements- calling for rearming Germany-before a big power session. Eisenhower said there is 30 place on earth he would not travel in order to obtain an honorable peace, and no chore he would not undertake if it promised the faintest hope of promoting the general of world peace. He said, however, that he would not favor any conference which could be used for sheer propaganda purposes by the Communists.

Eisenhower said that with the ratification of the Paris agreements still pending it was best not to muddy the waters at this time with a high level conference. Once this ratification was completed, he said, exploratory talks could be taken up on a different level than that of the chiefs of state. Eisenhower said that as President his duties differ greatly from those of other heads of state. He said it is not so simple for him to arrange to attend a meeting at the summit. In response to questions about George's proposal that a big power meeting be held without prior concrete show of faith by the Russians, the President said he had never intimated that his demand for deeds rather than words from the Soviets be limited to specific matters.

Eisenhower said there is a whole field in which the Russians could show their good faith. He said he is not insisting necessarily that they agree in advance of a conference to an Austrian peace treaty or unification of Korea. He said he had only cited those in previous news conference discussions as examples of what the Russians might do. As for George's proposal, senhower said he doesn't think there is any great difference in anybody's viewpoint on efforts to attain world peace. He said too many times officials emphasize a particular detail and a quarrel is stirred up.

ment last week might "cramp the style" of the leaders of nations at any future big power conferences. The President said he earnestly believes that all documents dealling with such conferences should be published but that we should be exceedingly careful whenever the good faith of any of our allies involved in the situation. It was then that Eisenhower added he feels there is nothing to be gained by going back 10 years, in what he called the light of after events, and showing that some one may have been wrong or right. The Yalta conference of President Roosevelt, Premier Stalin and Prime Minister Churchill in 1945 has long been the target of Republican criticism in Congress. Eisenhower said treaties have always fallen down in war if the interests of one country were going to be damaged by the action of its allies.

He did not elaborate on that. Eisenhower did say that the Yalta papers and similar documents should not be used to damage reputations, but should be studied with a view to profiting now by any mistakes which may have been made. Some GOP lawmakers have contended that Roosevelt made unnecessary territorial concessions to the Russians. Release of the Yalta documents has rekindled the row between the Republicans and the Democrats. Today's news conference dealt almost exclusively with foreign affairs.

Aside from Yalta, there was much discussion of the proposal by Sen. Geerge (D-Ga), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, that the President take the initiative in arranging as soon as practicable for a top level Big Four conference with Russia. Eisenhower's comment on that proposal was that after ratification of the Paris agreements it will be time to start exploratory talks with Russia, but not at the chiefs-ofstate level at the start. The President said there was no great difference. between his position and George's views.

George has called for ratification of the Paris agreements, which provide for rearming Germany, before big power conference. Eisenhower also dealt with these other matters: Cease-fire In response to question, the President said he knows of no particular new effort either by this government directly or through the British- -to negotiate a cease-fire in the Formosa Strait. The President added, however, that the British do have diplomatic relations with the Chinese Communist regime. The British, he said, always representing the U.S. point of view in dealing with the Peiping government.
