The President had the play in mind all along. He waited at the Big Four conference for a quick opening and then cut loose with the ball.

Perhaps the most important was the matter of timing.

Speaking extemporaneously, the: President addressed himself "par- ticularly to the delegates from the Soviet Union." When he resumed reading his text two minutes later, he had set forth "off the cuff" his challenge to the Russians to exchange mili tary. power blueprints with the United States. He also proposed letting the two nations make all the aerial photo- graphs they want of the other's military installations. 'Explosive In Soviet GENEVA (Jt-Western experts said today President Eisenhower's mutual military inspection plan could have explosive effects on Soviet citizens who must have police permission whenever they want to travel in their own country.

Russians must carry internal passports. Every movement within the country is controlled. Western experts ask what would be the effect of a group of Americans traveling at will in areas forbidden to Soviet citizens? "Movement control" is not a wmmt mm reason he decided it would be best not to bring the proposals into the 'conference room in written form. 3. Presidential aides feared that if the proposals were included in a prepared text, the substance of the plan might leak out and give the Russians a chance to develop counter-strategy.

The four foreign ministers went back into session this afternoon. A three-hour session this morning failed to complete final recommen dations to the heads of government on any of the three problems under discussion.

Russia Still Silent One informed source said the President's proposal was not spe cifically mentioned at the morning session. This meant that Soviet Foreign Minister M. Molotov had not given a hint as to whether Russia would accept the plan or even promise to consider it further. Some quarters saw a possibility that the Eisenhower proposals might get shunted aside, along with other proposals on disarma ment, German unification and European security for discussion after the summit conference. The leaders appeared to be aim ing now primarily at setting up directives for the guidance of a foreign ministers' conference next October and for further discussions in the U.

Eisenhower went to yesterday's summit meeting with a prepared statement outlining the general U.S. position on the subject of freeing the world from fear of an atomic attack. The United States and Russia, he said, "admittedly possess new and terrible weapons in quantity." But there was a deliberate gap in Eisenhower's prepared text. It did not include the two-point pro- military reserve to supplement the regular forces. The compromise version will go to the House for action Monday, and may go to the Senate for final approval later the same day.

Short of Ike's Plea It falls far short in some re spects of the program President Eisenhower had asked to boost reserve strength to 2,900,000 men by 1960, but Sen Russell (D-Ga) said, "This is about as strong a bill as the Congress would now approve. It retained the administration plan to permit up to 230,000 men a year in the 17-to-20-year age bracket to volunteer for three to six months of special active duty training and complete their eight-year hitch draft-free in the active reserve. The activity duty period could be deferred until they com plete high school if their work is satisfactory But the measure ignored Pentagon requests for authority to draft men for that program if there were not enough volunteers. The bill would require all draf tees and enlistees who enter service after the bill becomes law to continue with reserve training on completion of their active duty. But it omits Eisenhower's request that the reserve training be re quired of nresent and former servicemen.

Two-Year Gap That will mean a two-year gap before service veterans move into the active reserves in large num- jbers because the minimum term for draftees is 24 months. To fill the gap with trained two "incentive plans" to get these service veterans to volunteer for reserve dril.s and thus shorten the Dresent eieht-vear nenod of mili- out of the armed services after one year, if they volunteer for three years reserve training, and are approved by the secretaries of Army, Navy or Air Force. Incentive Measure The other incentive would allow up to 200,000 servicemen a year who complete active regular, duty to meet the requirement by en listing for one year of reserve training. A two-year draftee thus could be free of military obligation after as little as three years. Both incentives would operate only to July 1, 1957.

Active reservists who failed to complete satisfactory training any year could be ordered to serve an additional 45 days active duty. Six- month under the same circumstances could be drafted for a full two-year term Men entering service after the new bill becomes law would be subject to an over-all total of six years service, including a com bination of five years training in the active and reserve forces, Stassen to the post. He had given the matter intensive study during the last few weeks. So he knew exactly what play he wanted to call when he saw what looked like an opening in the Soviet line. Effect' Foreseen not released.

Could the Soviet leaders risk even hinting all this might be reversed? Ike's Bid Rocks Europe what bizarre President Eisenhower's offer to swap military blueprints and aerial reconnaissance with the Russians struck the imagination of Europe today in all these ways and more even among those who admitted they didn't expect anything to come of it. Only the Russians and their Communist supporters in the West were gingerly cautious in their reaction. They gave signs of being caught off guard. "Ike rocks the Big Four" blazed the headline in Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Express, one of Britain's biggest newspapers. Underscoring the Eisenhower plan was the hope it raised among the European peoples looking long ingly to Geneva for a foundation to lasting peace.

Some newspapers said it seemed too much to hope tor complete success, however. Britain's liberal News Chronicle said: "Had it come from anybody else we might have caught a whiff of a political maneuver: but it is plain from all who were present that here was a man truly saying what he deeply felt. "Its chances of acceptance must be almost nil if Soviet Russia in the next 48 hours agrees to the proposal, then times have changed indeed. "But what the speech accom plishes is suddenly to raise Geneva from the clammy folds of petty technicalities, from the orders of priority on this or that agenda to what is in fact the true summit the idealism which is prepared to fight for peace at any cost." West German newspapers de- scrioed the Eisenhower plan as both "surprising" and "revolu tionary." The Muenchner Merkur of Munich called it the "first recipe for disarmament.

Con Praises Ike Plan WASHINGTON UH Bipartisan congressional praise for President Eisenhower's newest disarmament inspection proposal was tempered today with expressions of doubt that Russia will accept.it. Eisenhower suggested yesterday that Russia and the United States exchange "a complete blueprint of military establishments," and permit unlimited aerial photographing of each other's areas. Sen. Saltonstall (R-Mass) called the proposal "a very forthright step toward ending the cold war." He expressed "hope the Russians will see the light and allow tha inspections." Sen. Sparkman (D-AIa), a Foreign Relations committeeman commented: "I don't believe that the Russians will accept, but if they do, it should go a long way toward ending present world tensions." Chairman George (D-Ga) of tht Foreign Relations Committee said.

"We certainly have nothing to lose from the military viewpoint because we live in a fish bowl." Others elaborated on that idea, noting that the Soviets must already know much more about this country's military establishment than is known here about theirs. They said this gives the United i uix noi uivtiAViQ iiuiii lira peacemakers Sen. Clements (D-Ky) also hailed it as a "practical and workable" plan, and his opposite number ia the House, Rep. McCormack (D- Mass), said its rejection by tht Soviets would amount to an exposure of "insincerity" on their part. Objections came from two members of the House Armed Services Committee.

Rep. Short (R-Mo) said, "That's certainly cooperating, almost to the point of danger." Rep. Rivers (D-SC com mented that "I'm opposed to giv- ing the Russians anything." Polio-Like Outbreaks Reported ALBANY to The State Health Department reported today there had been "small outbreaks" in the state of a mild disease similar to non paralytic polio. "At present," the department said, "it may well be that some cases of this disease are being reported as non-paralytic poliomyelitis due to the difficulty of differentiating between the two without laboratory tests." The department, calling on local health officers to alert physicians to the possibility of occurence of the disease, said that small outbreaks had been reported from parts of Erie County and the cities of Troy and Albany. The department said it ws making laboratory studies of the illness, which, it said, is characterized by headache, fever and department added.

Air photos of practically the whole country can be bought by just about anyone who wants to put down the money. For the Russians, acceptance of such a plan would involve a revolu- tion in thinking which for centuries has dominated Russia, always the country of "secrets fof secrets' sake." All through its history, Russia has had closed areas and these have grown more numerous in recent years.

Just about every bor der area is closed to foreigners and so are other vast areas. There are only a few routes along which foreigners may leave Moscow Even then permission must be re quested from the foreign ministry 48 hours in advance. Such restrictions on both citizens and foreigners are deeply ingrained in the Russian character. The thought of foreign planes and especially American planes Hying at will about Russia is almost incredible to anyone who has spent much time there.
