(AP) Red China's Chou Says U. S. Taking a Beating By JOHN RODERICK HONG KONG Chou En-lai told Red China's Parliament today the Communist bloc is riding high and stronger than ever, but the United Slates is taking a beating all over the map.

In a speech at the opening session of Parliament, Chou declared that the unity of the Communist bloc is stronger now than before the Hungarian revolt. He warned that world peace is constantly threatened by "war preparations under United States leadership." But he said the international situation was generally favorable to peace. Peiping radio broadcast Chou's address to the session attended by Chairman Mao Tze-tung, other top Red officials and more than 1,000 deputies. Chou singled out the "remarkable development of the Japanese people's against U.S. armed occupation" as one peacemaking factor.

Cites Formosa Another, he declared, was a movement towards neutrality in "practically a 11 U.S.-controIled countries" and an anti-American movement on Formosa after the United States stationed guided missiles there. Chou spoke of a "centrifugal developing amonf America's allies as a result ol American "seizure of colonial interests in the Middle and Near East, North Africa and other parts of the world." The speech was broadcast by Peiping radio. The Red Premier went out ol his way to deny suggestions that differences existed in the Communist bloc as a result of the Soviet repression of the Hungarian revolt. "The unity of the camp of socialism (communism)," he declared, "was strengthened, not after the Hungarian incident. "The facts have proved that international Socialist unity, based on proletarian internationalism and equality, cannot be destroyed by provocation." Chou credited Russia with help, ing case international tension in the past year and praised the "series of reasonable proposals put forward by the Soviet Union on arms reduction, banning of weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapon Icsts, abolition of military bases and withdraw! of armed forces from foreign lands." Other factors which helped case tension, Chou said, were (1) the REJECTED BY WEST North Korea Seeks Troop PullouiTalks By CHARLES CHIN PANMUNJOM HI Communist North Korea today called for a broad international conference to arrange the withdrawal of all foreign troops from Korea nnd bring about a peaceful solution to the problem of the divided peninsula.

The demand, made al a meeting of the Joint Military Armistice Commission, was promptly rejected by the U.N. Command as not a proper subject to be taken up al a military conference. A few hours lolcr Red Chinese Premier Chou En-lai, speaking (o his Parliament in Peiping, gave full support of the conference proposal and denounced U.S. policy in Korea. The Communisls pul the conference demand forward as a reply to the West's announcement that It was voiding the armistice provision prohibiting the introduction of new weapons into Korea.

The U.N, lold the Communisls at a commission meeting last Friday that now weapons would be brought into South Korea because the Reds bad consistently violated the arms band since a cease-fire ended the Korean fighting in 11)33. North Korean Maj. Gen. Chung Kook Rook presented the Communist demand and repealed the charge he made last Friday that the U.N. Allies were preparing for a new war by "wrecking" the ar- misiice.

"This has been shown in the past. was your side which broke up Ihc preliminary political ncgolialions al Panirmnjom and (he Geneva conference for settlement of the Korean problem." He asserted that (he armistice agrcmcnt of July 27, W53, was a bilateral agreement and said any unilateral action such as the U.N. decision to bring in new weapons is null and void. The U.N.

Command chief, U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Homer L. Litzenbcrg, replied that (lie questions raised by Cluing were "nol proper subjects to be discussed at a mililary conference Therefore lliey are rcjcclcd." Lilzcnbcrg added that the governments making up (he U.N.

"Until your side is prepared to the Korean question on these just objectives," he added, "any political conference would only result in a deadlock because of Communist intransigence." Lilzcnbcrg said the U.N. Command was forced to scrap the armistice clause banning new weapons because Communist actions had left the armistice agreement "in default."

The Communist leader asserted that in "practically sll U.S.-controlled countries" a demand was mounting to get rid of American authority, adopt a policy of peace and neulralily and oppose "aggressive military blocs." "Especially noticeable," he said, "is the big popular anti- American movement in the slricl- ly U.S.-conlrollcd Chinese territory of Taiwan (Formosa) after Hie U.S. stationing of guided mcs- silcs there."

3rewster, vice president of the Teamsters Union, was convicted today of contempt of Congress. U. S. Dist. Judge John J.

Sirica found Brewster guilty on all 31 counts of an indictment growing out of his refusal to produce records and answer questions before the Senate Investigations subcommittee in January. Brewster had waived a jury and left it to the judge to decide the issues of fact as well as law. The 60-year-old Teamsters official was not present when the udge handed down his decision. Ieihad been given permission to return to his West Coast home. Judge Sirica did not fix a time 'or imposing sentence.

The max- mum penalty is a year in jail and fine. The judge said the Brewsler case like all other criminal cases vill be referred to the court's pro-, jation office for a presentence report and investigation. Brewster 1 vill remain free on bond. Contending that a giant peace movement has been developing among people in all parts of the world, Chou said: "Quite possibly the new, more deceptive American colonialist intrigues could liavc a temporary success in Jamping down the struggle for national independence in some countries, such as Jordan, by lak- ng advantage of the people's lack of experience." Chou said the national independence movement, like any other people's movement, could not be suppressed. 'Can't lie, Suppressed' "In this long-term complicated struggle, each setback serves to educate the people arid to help hem find the path of victory," he asserted.

"The danger of war still exists, )ut it is possible for us to bring nbout a further relaxation in the situation and force imperialist war block to accept the principle of.peaceful coexistence, provided we can unite with all possible forces interna- ionally and persist in our slrug- "This is because (he Socialist camp has become more powerful and united, the ranks of the peace- oving countries and people arc constantly expanding, the demand of the American people for peace growing, and (he U.S. aggres- ive clique is finding ifself more ind more isolated."

Eisenhower based his remarks on information he said he received earlier this week from three atom- scientists. But despite this report of the cienlisls' views, Eisenhower rc- tcratcd that the United Slates still hopeful on agreement can be reached with Russia providing for suspension of tests. He emphasized thai hope docs not stand as an isolated thing in the disarmament field. As Secretary of State Dulles did yesterday, Eisenhower said the His remarks were in reply to a request for comment on the latest increase in the cost of living--the ninth in a row. COURT Eisenhower said he still believes the people of the United Stales respect the Supreme Court as a stabilizing influence which keeps the country from going from one cxlremc to another.

Without saying so specifically, Eisenhower hinted for Hie second week in a row that he may not agree with some of the court's recent decisions. He said Ihat in some cases the 1 court's dissenting opinions turn out to have more influence than the majority opinions. He also said he disagreed with a reporter's suggestion that the Supreme Court bus no way of defending itself against criticism of its opinions. The dissenting views, provide opportunity for expression of disagreement, Eisenhower said. Eisenhower said that Supreme Court decisions even though sometimes hard to understand--should be respcclcd.

Further, Eisenhower talked of at least limited aerial inspection and reduction of manpower as other facets of the disarmament package he has in mind.
