By LEWIS GULICK WASHINGTON (AP) A Western Big Three strategy meeting was arranged for late today following the second secret session of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization. Secretary of State Christian A. Herter invited Britain's Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd and French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Mui-ville to the private meeting. Tlie Western foreign affairs chiefs were expected to conduct a private post mortem on the summit conference collapse and scan the future for what the Communist might do over the next few months They are here for sessions of the SEATO Council of Ministers, which includes also the prime ministers of Australia and New Zealand and the foreign ministers of the Philippines, Thailand and Pakistan. Both Lloyd and Herter were to address the council, completing a round of speechmaking, before the delegates got down to more concrete detculs in the four-day session.

Tuesday's speakers were said to have agreed in blaming Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev for the summit blowup. They spoke about the danger of a Red Chinese push now in places under SEATO's defense umbrella, such as the tiny kingdom of Laos in Southeast Asia. The delegates were reported in accord that the Communist threat must not be fought by defense alone but also through measures to improve the lives of the impoverished millions who comprise most of Asia's population.

Sailor From Centralia Goes Berserk On Ship BOSTON (AP) A sailor went berserk aboard the Navy icebreaker Edisto early today, fired 14 shot from two automatic pistols and finally was subdued by tear gas. No one was injured.

He was taken to Chelsea Naval Hospital for observation. The Navy identified ium as Yeoman 2C John W. Davidson of Centralia, III. Armed with the two guns, the man barricaded himself in a wardroom about 12:30 a. m.

and threatened to kill anyone who came after him. When Marines attempted to close ill, the man let loose a volley. Using three tear gas guns borrowed from Boston police, the Marines fii-ed into the wardroom and the sailor tossed his empty automatics through a porthole onto the deck and surrendered. The Edisto is at the South Boston naval annex. Mamie In Hospital With Bronchitis WASHINGTON (AP) Mi-s.

Mamie Eisenhower entered Walter Reed Army Hospital Tuesday for treatment of an attack of acute asthmatic bronchitis, the White House announced today. Doctors reported today that the First Lady is "as comfortable as she can be" under the circumstances, press secretary James C. Hagerty told newsmen. He added that she is feeling better than Tuesday and has very little fever. He said Mrs.

Eisenhower would i-cmain under treatment for "a short only a few days. Mrs. Eisenliower, 63, has had such attacks before, Hagerty said, but none as severe as the current i one. Mrs. Eisenhower's asthmatic attacks have not previously been announced by the White but at a flower show recently it was reported that she suffered from an allergy to roses.

The White House did not confimi this. In the seven years she has been hi the White House, the First Lady has had no major illnesses. She underwent a major operation, a hysterectomy, at Waiter Reed in August 1957 and was hospital' ized more than tluree weeks. Mrs. Eisenhower had rheumatic fever as a child and it left her with a slight heart condition.

White House physician, Maj. Gen. Howard M. Snyder once described the condition as "a murmur which the doctors keep tabs on." Announcement of Mrs. Eisenhower's hospitaljiiation increased speculation that she will not accompany the President on his ti-ip to the far cast next month.

By ARTHUR L. SRB SPRINGFIELD, lU. (AP) A legislative commission and state health officials are studying the possibility of providing a burial ground for atomic waste materials in southern Illinois. Such areas are essential as more atomic energy is put to peaceful uses, says Qarence W. Klassen, chief sanitary engineer of the health department.

Southern Illinois is being considered over other areas of the state, Klassen said, because the burial ground should be isolated from population centers, a safe distance from underground water supplies and on relatively inexpensive land. Klassen, Sen. George Drach fR- Springfield) and the Legislative Commission on Atomic Energy will confr wieth Atomic Energy Commission officials on the matter in (Chicago Friday. The meeting will review waste disposal problems and health factors and will determine whether additional legislation is necessary to provide a burial ground. Iflassen said the entire matter is "strictly in tlie discussion stage" but that "the economical disposal of waste materials is one of the keys to peacetime uses of atomic materials." Drach, chairman of the Legislative Commission on Atomic Energy, said the radio active waste is material that has been "broken so many times that it can no longer be salvaged." Such waste, he said, is placed in containers and buried in restricted areas.

Klassen said the AEC is looking for publicly owned disposal installations to be operated by private contractors or licensees under strict federal or state control. Three reactors currently are producing radioactive material in Illinois. They are at the Argonne National Laboratory, the Dresden nuclear power plant near Morris and the IlUnois Technological Institute in Chicago. Waste from the three reactors currently is being properly disposed of, Klassen said, "but the need for more burial grounds is going to increase as industrial and medical application of isotopes increases." WHO INVESTIGATES THE INVESTIGATORS Charge Congressmen Padded Travel Costs JUSTICE HOUSE OPPOSED BY SEN. GRAY Only Two Confests For illinois Supreme Courf Positions.

By aiARLES WIIALEN SPRINGFIELD, lU. (AP) Two spirited contests for seats on the Illinois Supreme Court will be decided by voters in Monday's judicial election. A total of five justices will be chosen but three are assured of new terms because opposition parties agreed not to nominate candidates. They are Walter V. Schaefer of Chicago, Harry B.

Hersliey of Taylorville and George W. Bristow of Paris. Each has been on the high court since 1951. One of the contested races, which has developed into an unusually active campaign for a judicial post, matches Byron 0. House, a Republican incumbent from Nashville, against State Sen.

James W. Gray of Belleville. The other contest finds Democrat B. Jay Knight, Rockford attorney, running against Circuit Judge Roy J. Solfisburg of Aurora in a normally strong Republican district.

All of the justices elected Monday will gain nine-year terms and receive an increased salary of $30,000 a year. Unless Gray and Knight both win, the seven-member court will retain a Republican majority, now five to two. Joseph E. Daily of Peoria Ray I. Klingbiel of East WASHINGTON (AP)-Dozens of e.xpen.se account bills of House members have been altered or amended in recent years, the Knight newspapers said today.

In a copyrighted dispatch, reporters Don Oberdorfer and Walter Pincus said House records show that "congressmen spent tax dollars on trips to resort areas, on night clubbing and tipping aboard luxury liners." The receipts supporting the expense account claims then were altered in some instances, the story said, to show different purposes for the expenditures. It said expense accounts of only a few members of the House are involved in the unusual expense bills. In those checked while the records were still pub lie, alterations or amendments appeared on hotel bills of more than 20 present of former congi-ess- men." The story said the records in the House disbursing office "had long been public documents open to public inspection." "House officials threw a secrecy cloak around the (records) after learning of press interest a few days ago. The door to the fund record room was locked and all acces to the pubhc sealed off." The story said the practices "are concentrated in tlie expense accounts of House investigating committees the very groups which have been busy scrutinizing everybody else. But nobody investigates the investigators.

Tlie voting will be (or delegate already pledged, rather than for individual aspirants for the office. Whether the outcome of a dozen primaries in which presidential hopefuls parlicipalcd will make any decisive imprint on the two nominating conventions remains to be tested.

Sen. John F. Kennedy of Mas.sa- chusetts captured strong support for the Democratic nomination by sweeping the primaiies in which he was entered. But Kennedy's rivals, who ignored the primaries, say those results proved only that the Massachusetts senator wa.s more favored by the voters in that limited number of states than were opponents they said never were given a chance to win the prize. Where Kennedy faced opposition, most of it came from Sens.

Only four per cent said they were unhappy (in 1957) because of world tensions and possibility of war. The survey results are in a book, titled "Americans View Their Mental Health." It is the fourth book in a series supported by the Joint Commission on Mental Illness and Health, The survey was based on 2,460 intei-views. One of the conclusions was that older people find fewer shortcomings in themselves than do younger people. Another was: "'Younger people are more involved in achievement and older people are more involved in considerations of the moral and the good." On the question of how Ameri cans handle their personal crises, the report says: "Many do nothing, or foi-get about it; permit the situation to run its course.
