who Is laureate of the Carillon School at Bel, tfcgawtt the hoviet By STANLEY JOHNSON MOSCOW Communist party chief Nikita Khrushchev told cheering Russians today the United States is moving in the direction of cooperation with the So viet Union. i speeca was broadcast and Union from-Moscow's central mil itary airport, where Khrushchev and Premier Nikolai Bulganin had just landed on their return from a 10-day tour of Britain. Both Bulganin and Khrushchev praised British hospitality and the results of their negotiations with Prime Minister Eden. But they had scathing words of denunciation for the Labor party, the British sr-cialist movement, which they accused of following "a reactionary anti-Soviet policy." The bold overture to the United States indicated Bulganin and Khrushchev aim at developing direct negotiations with President Eisenhower on world problems. This was foreshadowed by a Pravda editorial Sunday and has long been common knowledge in the Moscow diplomatic colony.

It was a strange forum Khrushchev took to make the overture to Washington a scarlet draped podium at the airport where only talk of Brtain had been expected. Khrushchev blamed "certain influential circles in the United States" for blocking an end to the cold war and added: "Yet we think that in the United States, too, there are signs of a desire for improvement. Eisenhower's speech to newspaper editors testifies to. this, although we cannot agree with some of the things he said. The Soviet government is in favor of establishing good relations with the United States and we shall do everything in that direction." In a speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors on April 21, President Eisenhower called auction which some are trying to promote between the United States and the U.S.S.R.

as; to which will spend the most in an underdeveloped country. WASHINGTON Iff) President Eisenhower sent word to Congress today that any substantial cuts in his $4,900,000,000 foreign aid pro gram at this time "would greatly eooanger we security oi me United States." Eisenhower's view was relayed to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by Secretary of State Dulles following a White House conference. President Eisenhower arranged to discuss foreign policy matters late today with Sen. George (D-Ga) and other congressional leaders in that field. Hydrogen Warhead For G-Missile Is Assured WASHINGTON IB The Air Force says a major scientific breakthrough has assured hydrogen warheads "light and handy enough to be carried by long-range missiles of reasonable size." Two Air Force generals testified that although much engineering work remains, "no inventions are required" to perfect intercontinental missiles.

They disclosed also that a definite schedule of development has been prepared, and expressed confidence It will be met. The testimony was given by Maj. Gen. S. R.

Brentnall, 'assistant chief of staff for guided missiles, and Maj. Gen. Bernard A. Schreiver, who is in direct charge of the long-range missile program. A House Appropriations subcommittee made public a censored version of their testimony Sunday night.

Brentnall said missile development was long stymied because of the size of the warhead. But he said the "advent of lightweight high-yield warheads" has simplified many technical problems and assured eventual success. Schreiver said the big job now is to plan and put together the complex system required to operate accurate missiles. He did not say, in the released testimony, how long that might take. j.

inn iim.j.i.L jl. im.u By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON (P Secretary of State Dulles and the foreign ministers of Britain and France probably will confer this week on a formula for testing Russia's offer to joiE in a general embargo on arms shipments to the Middle East. The possibility of bringing East arms shipments once again under some kind of control is regarded as slight but worth looking into. Dulles will leave- for Paris tomorrow to attend a meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and diplomatic talks on a variety of international problems, dominated by the continuing Palestine crisis, Russian maneuvers and the Cyprus dispute.

He will get a first-hand report from Britain's Delwyn Lloyd on the visit to London of Soviet Communist party boss Nikita Khrushchev and Premier Nikolai Bulgan-ln. Just before leaving London last Friday, Khrushchev said if it were possible to agree on an arms ban "through the United Nations or otherwise" Russia would take part. He said that as long as other nations sold arms the Soviet Union would do so. The reaction here was one of great suspicion. Communist Czechoslovakia began selling arms to Egypt last fall, and Moscow comment then linked the transaction to the development of the anti-Communist Baghdad Pact in the Middle East.

Speculation in official Washington quarters is that Soviet willingness to stop shipping arms to the Arab states in return for a general em bargo is a way of saying that the United States and Britain would have to stop shipping arms to countries in the Baghdad Pact. Aside from Britain, they are Pakistan, Turkey, Iran and Iraq. Another element of skepticism here is a belief that Russia wants to keep the Arab-Israeli situation in a state of turmoil a source of worry to the West and a threat to Europe's oil supplies without taking any serious risk of war. JERUSALEM LTV- Israel said today its casualties from weekend incidents on the Egyptian-Israeli border mounted to three dead and one wounded. Egypt and Israel, parties to a 12-day old cease-fire agreement, each blamed the other for the flareup.

The accusations came as U.N. Secretary (General Dag Ham-marskjold neared the end of his peace mission to the Middle East, begun April 6. He held a final meeting in Cairo this morning with Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi. An official Israeli announcement gaid a second soldier died today as a result of a mine explosion under a military vehicle. The first was killed Sunday at the time of the explosion near Izhak close to the frontier of Egypt's Gaza Strip.

Israel also reported a farmer was killed in another incident Sunday. Sources in Cairo close to Ham-merskjold expressed belief the disturbances would not affect the outcome of his mission. His conference with Fawzi today followed a talk Sunday night with Egyptian Premier Gamal Abdel Nasser. He planned to leave Egypt later today for his last discussions with officials in Israel, winding up his mission. He is due to report back by May 4 to the U.

N. Security Council in New York. A well informed source in Cairo aid Egypt now was willing to accept Hamrnarskjold's proposal that Egyptian and Israeli forces on the demarcation line be pulled back out of sight of each other. The exact distance would be determined by terrain and local circumstances. Egypt was previously reported to be insisting that troops withdraw 500 mete-rs (575 yards) on each side of the line.

Nasser proposed this last fall. An Israeli spokesman said foreign Minister Moshe Sharett had complained to Hammarskjold of "acts of renewed Egyptian aggression." An Israeli army source said the mine that blew up Sunday had (Continued on Page 1U Out Popped Snake ST. LOUIS LT1 William F. Power, 19, finished taking a bath and pulled the plug.

George (D-Ga) said today he favors expansion of international political activities by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization but does not believe it should enter the economic field.

George spoke out In an interview in advance of the scheduled public appearance of Secretary of State Dulles before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. George heads the committee and serves as chief Democratic spokesman in Congress on foreign policy. Voicing general approval of Dulles' proposal to try to give new vitality to NATO, the Georgia senator said, "I don't see how it can be made into an economic agency." Dulles has declined to spell out his NATO proposals before leaving tomorrow for a Paris meeting of the prganization. But he has said there are "possibilities of joint efforts" which might include some or all of the NATO countries to assist in neighboring area such as North Africa. The secretary has said much of the economy of the NATO countries depends on oil from the disturbed Middle East.

George made it clear he thinks any large-scale American economic aid in the Middle East would involve "sticking our head in the lion's mouth" of the dispute between Israel and her Arab neighbors. He said that outside the economic field he believes NATO nations could accomplish a great -deal by "moving away from what is now only a strict military alliance." "The Russians are undoubtedly trying to get rid of NATO," he said. "They may have succeeded in softening up some of the European countries which are not as aware of the immediate danger of war as they have been in the past." For this reason, he said, he will support proposals to broaden the consultation between NATO na Car Turns Flip, Driver Injured COVINGTON, Tenc Raymond Faught, 24, of Route 2, Stanton, is in a Memphis hospital in critical condition with head injures after his car turned flips onto the Illinois Central Railroad tracks here. Son of Mr. and Mrs.

Roy Faught of the Tipton County address, Faught was believed dead when first efforts were made to extricate him from underneath his European sports model car "Triumph III." A later rail to Malev Funeral Home here obtained an ambulance which took Faught to St. 'Joseph Hospital in Memphis arriving there jit 12:50 this morning. His condition was reported by the hospital as "critical" just before noon. An eyewitness, according to In-lormation furnished by Bill Sim-ington of the Covington Leader, saw the car "make a flip" landing on one of the IC tracks, then flipping again onto the other one. (The witness is reported to be a railroad employe, otherwise unidentified, who was on duty at the depot in expectation of an IC train's arrival.

The second flip cleared the main line.) Jim Shearin, photographer on the staff of The Jackson Sun, reached the scene of the accident about 12 minutes after the car was first seen in its flip. An examination of the highway (connecting Covington and Brownsville), Shearin said, indicated that Faught's car left the road, went onto the shoulder, then back onto the pavement before swerving from the pavement again in its westward course. When it left the pavement that last time, the car almost cleared a 12-14 foot ditch on the east side of the railroad tracks. The car's front end ploughed into the ditch bank, starting the car on its first loop. Shearin said all four of the car's tires were still in good condition even after It finally came to rest on the second railroad track.

Fire Chief Thomas Shoaf directed the fire department's run to extinguish a fire which started in the car after FaughV removal from the wreckage, opening day ceremonies were Gov. Frank Clement, the principal speaker; Sim Webb, of Memphis, Casey's fireman who jumped from the cab; Charles Jones, Casey's eldest son, with other members of the family; Mrs. Virgin B. Reed and Miss Ninetta Brister, sisters of Vaughn, who were living there at the time of the wreck, and many other civic and railroading dignitaries. Mayor George Smith was master of ceremonies.

Music, including the National Anthem and "The Ballad of Casey Jones," was furnished by the Jackson High School band. Governor Clement paid tribute to the railroading profession, and to the city of Jackson for memorializing it in the museum. The West Chester area, from Shannon to West Alley, was roped off early this morning. Normally a quiet section of town, it had been crowded with visitors, newspapermen, photographers and others since early morning. Two other old-time railroaders, on hand for today's event, were Colie Chandler of Memphis, who hands with Casey just before he left Jackson the last time, and Sam Tate of Birmingham, who was a conductor on the train that left Memphis to pick up the wreck at Vaughn.

Webb, who is 82 years old, was escorted to the museum site by Oeorge Gardner and Leroy Pope, chairman and secretary of the museum committee, and was im mediately "taken over" by newsmen. He vividly recalled details of the wreck, explaining that the "Can-nonball Express" driven by Casey left Memphis one hour and 35 minutes late, and the crash occurred two minutes after it was due at Vaughn. In the relatively short run, Light Mystery Still Unsolved By JOE FREELAND Understand Deputy Sheriff L. H. Crowe doesn't beneve in ghosts.

Just the same, he'd sure like to know who or what turned those lights on and off. Here's the way Deputy Crowe says it happened: He got a call about 5 a.m. today from Cledis Pierce, who lives on the Moore Road in the Westover community. Pierce reported that several lights were burning in the nearby Murl White house. Mr.

and Mrs. White had been in Michigan for the past two months and the house had been unoccupied during that time, Pierce said. Several other neighbors had been watching the house all the time Pierce was making the call to Deputy Crowe to see that the intruder didn't leave They were still maintaining their vigil when Deputy Crowe arrived shortly thereafter. "He's still in there, because on of the lights just went out and nobody's left the house," one of the neighbors told Crowe. Since all of the doors and windows were locked, Crowe entered the house by breaking a lock on the back door.

Sure enough, a light in the kitchen was still burning. However, a top-to-bottom search, which even included a trip to the attic, failed to produce any signs of the mysterious intruder. There wasn't even any indication of how entrance or exit had been made. "Darndest thing ever happened to me," admitted Deputy Cro vfl. "I thought ought to make a written report to the Sheriff on the call, but just didn't know exactly how to go about it." Cotton Carnival Group Tours West Tennessee MEMPHIS imA "royal" delegation tours West Tennessee today to invite its residents to attend the five-day Memphis Cotton Carnival that May 15.

Led by Carnival King Oscar Ca-rr Jr. of Clarksdale, and traveling by chartered bus, the delegation's itinerary included Covington, Ripley, Halls, Dyers-burg, Trenton, Milan, Humboldt, Jackson, Bells and Brownsville. U. S. said a Soviet government genuinely devoted to the legitimate interests of the Russian nation "can have friendly relations with the United States and the free world for the asking." Khrushchev's avowal of a desire for good relations with the United States seemed a hint that he and Bulganin would accept fl" Invita tion to visit there.

Virus Causing 'Fifth Disease' Is Discovered By ALTON L. BLAKESLEE AP Science Reporter HOUSTON, Tex. tf? Discovery of the virus ca-using a strange "fifth disease" in children was reported today to the Society of American Bacteriologists. The fifth disease is erythema in-fectiosum, so called because it can be mistaken at times for measles, German measles, scarlet fever or another rash disea-se, roseola infantum. Erythema infectiosum, hitting in epidemics, brings a harmless reddish rash on the face and other body parts.

It may be more common than supposed. An improved vaccine appears to start bringing defense against rabies within 15 days, said Doctors H. M. Powell and C. G.

Culbertson of the Eli Lilly Research Laboratories, Indianapolis, in another report. The virus to make the vaccine is grown in duck eggs, and then is killed by a chemical, beta pro-piolactone. This method avoids or reduces risk of paralytic, alergic-type reactions from virus growth in rabbit brains, or from use of live virus, they said. Items Missing LOUISVILLE, Ky.
