Outlook for General, East West Relations is A Somber One. By JOHN M.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON UP) President Kennedy and British Prime Minis. er Harold "Macmillan reportedly fear the development of a series of crises between the Western powers and the Soviet Union this year. These views are reported to prevail in spite of encouraging prog ress recently made toward agree ment on a cease fire in the civil war in Laos. A generally somber outlook for East West relations emerges from information made available by U.S. and British officials on.

the discus sions of the two allied leaders here during past two days. The talks were recessed today while Macmil lan flies to Boston fori an address at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A "final session of the two men and their advisers will be held at the White House Saturday morning after which they plan to issue what one official called a business like statement on the range of their discussions. Cold War Potential Meanwhile, from authorities who participated in the meetings, the following picture of immediate and potential cold war trouble spots shapes up: 1. The U.S.

British negotiations with the Soviet Union for an agreement to prohibit the testing of nu clear weapons permanently under an internationally poliqing system are making very little' progress, The Soviet Union's new demand that the agreement be administer ed by a three man directorate with a built in Soviet veto is completely unacceptable to Britain and the United States. Macmillan and Kennedy agreed tha the Western powers could nev jPf rely on an inspection system hich was subject to a Soviet veto. sinless, as they hope, Soviet Premier Khrushchev will drop or drastically modify the directorate proposal, the nuclear eSt talks Geneva would appear to be headed for a If the Geneva talks do fail Ken ne dy will be faced with an almost immediate decision on whether a resumption of nuclear testing which has been suspended since the Geneva conference started 2Vi years ago. 2. Since the test talks at Geneva have been regarded by the Western powers as a possible first step toward disarmament, a failure at Geneva would inevitably be considered as a blow to disarmament.

The two leaders reviewed the disarmament outlook and reaffirmed their hope that the test talks would rove successful, despite the cur gloomy prospect. Berlin Showdown? 3. The chances of a new East West confrontation over West Berlin were rated high, although Macmillan considered that Khrushchev may choose to exert primary pressure for Communist expansion in some of the underdeveloped countries in Africa and Asia. Both Kennedy and Macmillan agreed that Khrushchev's repeated statement that wants a solution of the BerJihj problem this year must be given very serious weight. With respect to Southeast Aia, Kennedy and Macmillan expressed their hope that cease fire negotiations which British are conducting with the Soviet foreign office in 'Moscow will now be successful and produce a prompt truce in the civil war in Laos while a 14 nation conference meets to negotiate a more permanent settlement.

5. Kennedy and Macmillan re affirmed their determination to support UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold against attacks from the Soviet bloc countries and to resist all Soviet efforts to replace him with a three man directorate. They evidently expected further Soviet efforts, perhaps at the General Assembly meeting next Fall, to cripple the UN operation and to win acceptance of the directorate idea by more and more members of the world organization, i lV jit et', aPHM few Wihh ftiirtirii iritifii ltumium.MM. in in in iiirmiv i.T ii 1 1 i i mm To Advance Plans Start Preparations For Annual Drive In October. Directors of the Kane Area United Fund organization, in session at Junior High last night, advanced preliminaries for the 1961 drive program and made arrangements for the Executive Board to convene at an early date to name a cam paign chairman for the October fund effort.

Paul Mowery, president of the KAUF, presided at the session last night, when new board mem bei were introduced. They included Everett Fought, Edgar James, Paul Kelly and Mrs. Jennie Carlson. Discussion was held on operation of the KAUF with a report that 100 percent payments were being made on the post jcampaign budget to participating agencies and that pay ments on pledges were normal. A letter of appreciation, was read from the Ridgway Area Pay chiatric Clinic, which is a particip ating agency through its service to Kane and this It.

DYING EX CHINESE PRISONER MOVED MANILA OP) Robert McCanis was flown to ClarK Air Bas today on his journey back to the United States to die after spending 10 years in a Red Chinese prison. The former businessman from Pasadena, ravaged by cancer, was rushed to the U.S. Air Force Hospital at the base north of Manila on arriving from Hong Kong. Forest Service, two of the main recreation areas are located north of Kane one eight miles, the other only a short distance further. It is contended that such recreational areas cannot materialize if a perimeter road is constructed and that all factors were given thorough study in preparing the long range program for what has all promise of becoming one of the great attractions of the region.

At the local meeting last night, called by Committee Chairman Henry Hebda, he brought out that traffic from the south Pittsburgh area and to the east would naturally funnel through Kane to the closest access point and that the recreational areas would be the main attraction. The committee felt that ihe immediate and urgent need is to get an adequate highway to the Bed Bridge area, where the recreational areas are projected. The committee felt that it should have more information on the proposed Forest Service access road via Gibbg Hill to the Coal Knob area on new Route 59 and the proposed relocation of Route 68 from Red Bridge for a more direct north route, but further from the actual Kinzua Dam. In discussions it was broMght out that the Forest Service road via Gibbs Hill as projected would be the closest route to the dam itself from Kane and Ludlow areas and that there was little question but what heavy usage of that route would force recognition as a major highway access and construction as Killings increase as Hopes for Algerian Peace Talks Dim BY RICHARD K. O'MALLEY PARIS CD Frenchmen and Algerians on both sides of the Mediterranean braced for a new reign of terror today as killings and bombings increased after the collapse of hopes for immediate negotiations to end the Algerian rebellion.

Paris police hunted an Algerian execution squad that carried the hit and run war between rival rebel factions into a suburban hospital Thursday, killing 2 persons and wounding 12. In Algiers the U. S. consulate was bombed after it closed for the day and an attempt was made to burn the VS. cultural center.

Both attacks were attributed to French rightists protesting U.S. moves to get peace talk? started between the French and the Algerian rebels. Negotiations between the rebels and the French wer to have started today in Evian Les Bains. But the chief rebel group the National Liberation Front (FLN) relus ed to meet after the Frenoh announced they would hold simultaneous negotiations with a rival rebel group, the National Liberation Movement (MNA). The French rejected the FLN demand that it be designated chief spokesman for the Algerian Nationalists.

There appeared to be little chance either side would make a serious move before Tuesday to get talks started. French President Charles de Gaulle has scheduled a news conference then. The hospital raid in suburban Montfermeil was one of the most violent episodes in the war between the FLN and MNA, conducted for 6 1 2 years in Paris. Six men in a tax drove up to the hospital wheer Algerian victims of a recent FLN MNA clash were in a surgical ward. Three of the raiders charged up to the third floor and killed a French policeman guarding the Algerians' room with his own machine gun.

Bursting into the room, they killed Mohand Talba, believed to have been a member of the MNA, in his bed. Girl Shot in Bed The gang then ran from room to room, spraying bullets. One of their victims was a French girl, Martine Petit, 7, wounded as she lay in bed. Also wounded were her father, sitting beside the bed, and her mother, who flung herself across the child. ti The three gunmen then rushed to their wailing taxi, knocking out a ward attendant as they ran and beating a nurse with gun butts.

In the yard, two policemen who tried to stop them were shot in the feet More than a dozen Algerians were later arrested but there was no indication that the identity of the gunmen had been learned. The attacks on the American offices in Algiers were the latest in a reries of bombings blamed on diehard French colonists. The extremists apparently were angered that the U.S. Ambassador to Tunisia, Walter N. Walmsley held private talks Monday in Tunis with two FLN ministers.

FIERCE CONTROVERSY IN OF ADDLE Eill BY RELMAN MORIN JERUSALEM CP) Spread across six columns of discussion in the Israeli newspaper Jerusalem Post is the caption "Trying Eich mann triumph or tragedy?" This question is the subject of fierce controversy in Israel today with many clashing points of view. 'Adolf Eichmann, chief of the Jewish affairs section of the Nazi Gestapo, goes to trial here Tues day; i i He is charged formally With "crimes against the Jewish people and crimes against The indictment holds him respons ible in the deaths' of an estimated Six million slain in the Ger mans' extermination camps during world War II. Eichmann contends he was op erational director of the extermination, plan known as the "final solution of the Jewish question." You might expect to find unani mity oft opinion on this extraordin ary, case, the justification for kidnaping Eichmann in Buenos Aires last year, and the desirability of trying him in Israel. But opinion is by no means un animous. A young Israeli, noting the im mense labor in preparing for the trial, remarked quietly: "One bullet Buenos Aires would have made 11 this unnecessary." A shonkeenpr on Kinrr Street says: "The trial will cost great deal of money and Israel is not a rich nation.

It would have feen better to give Eichmann to the Germans and let them try him." Two distinguished Zionists, both jiovemenl for over 50 years; disagree about the trial effects. I 4A Great Mistake' Meir 5ossman says in the Jeru salem Post: "This Is going to prove a great mistake. It will introduce strife end quarrels into the Jew th camp and will lead to vitupera tion and vilification of the Jews." He doubts the trial will elicit new information about Nazi atrocities or serve to remind the world of horrors visited on the Jews But Richard Lichtheim says in the same article: "Israel had no alternative." He adds: "The trial has an important educational aspect for the younger generations, both in. Israel and Germany." Jewish liberals abroad who worry about the trial are cowards, trembling in case gentiles think badly of the Jews, Lichtheim contends. Eichmann coould draw the death penalty.

Some Israelis, with strong religious convictions, feel it would be contrary to the spirit of their eligion to execute Eichmann. Oth ers ask: "Suppose he is executed. Can anyone believe his remains would be buried in the Holy Land?" such; The committee weighed the recreational program in the ANF, particularly at Red Bridge, where a permanent level 350 acre lake would be created by a sub impoundment dam eliminating possible mud flats from varying water levels. This project is nine miles north of Kane with direct connection by existing Route 68 to that point. The second major area is about three miles north from that point.

These projects will be fully explained by Mr. Franson. Next meeting: will be with representatives of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers on their programming and value of a perimeter road following the contour of the water area.

The local committee concedes the value of perimeter roads and tiees traffic potential from such a road, This main access route has been held vitally im portant in view of the future of Route 6, which; it Is con 1 ceded, will naturally follow Route 59 when that new route is constructed. Unofficially, It Is estimated that the distance between Warren and Smeth port will be close to 20 miles shorter than via Route 6 and Kane. Route 59 would have the added attraction of viewing the dam itself and following the water route for several miles. After these two meetings, the committee will evaluate its own position to meet with the Advance Planning Department representatives of the State Highways Department to make its desires known, Mr. Hebda has been in con LIFE!

May Seek Recess GENEVA CP) The Western powers and the Soviet Union were at another standoff in the nuclear test ban talks today with neither side ready to take the responsi bility for breaking off negotiations. British delegate David Ormsby Gore declared Thursday that the West has shown "monumental pa tience and drew a sharp retort from Soviet delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin that "our patience can certainly match Despite the Soviet refusal to come an inch toward the Western position Ormsby Gore told Tsarap kin Britain and the States have no intention "at this time" of quitting the talks.

The representatives of the three powers met for less than three minutes today, put out a stopgap com munique, and adjourned their dead locked negotiations until Monday. Some Western diplomats are talk ing about another recess in the negotiations, that resumed March 21 after a suspension of 3 1 2 months. The West in a package plan has accepted several Soviet proposals for joint nuclear experimentation but Tsarapkin countered the West's insistance on independent control machinery to police any test ban with a demand for what in effect would be a veto power over the control apparatus. He proposed that the control organization be headed by a three man directorate representing the Communist bloc, the Western nations and the neutralist nations. Unanimity would be required for any action.

Ormsby Gore and U. S. delegate Arthur H. Dean repeatedly declared such an arrangement was unacceptable and appealed to him withdraw "his demand. But Tsarapkin told newsmen Thursday his government has no intention of backing downV A leading Democrat herei observe ing the talks; Sen.

'Need 10.5 Million More Jobs in U.S.' WASHINGTON CP) Secre tary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg said today economic improvement will still leave tha nation with a grave and urgent unemployment problem. Goldberg said 10.5 million new jobs must be created in the next year if full employment is to be achieved in the light of the growing population and worker dis placement by machines. Goldberg said seven million new jobs will be needed even if the unemployment rate falls from its present level of nearly 7 per cent of the work force to 4 per cent a year from now.

The 4 per cent rate is one mentioned by President Kennedy as a manageable level. tact with this agency and a meeting has been promised here as soon as Kane is ready. The committee last night discussed a recommendation that old Route 219, which lost its state designation when Kane was bypassed by the short cut from Lantz Corners to Wilcox, be designated as "Route 255." This would extend Route 255 from DuBois to a north terminus at Kane via St. Marys, Johnsonburg and Wilcox, and would not tend to confuse the "Route 219" situation. Route 219 would carry the "Route 255" extra signs only for a short distance.

The committee was unanimous for placing such a request with the State Highways Department. Kane, it was emphasized, is the southern gateway to the Kinzua Dam area and its future potential as such means traffic funnelling in over Route 68 south and via the Kane Wilcox road, formerly Route 219 and now a legislative route. Present at the meeting last night were Mr. Hebda, Victor Wester berg, Evald Benson, L. R.

Peterson, Stanley Homan, Harold L. Olson and John B. Cliff. The committee started this morning making contacts for representation of business, industry, churches, schools, hospitals and all service and other organizations in Kane to have one or two representatives at the meetings ahead. These representatives will be asked to carry back information from the sessions to their organizations for an expression of opinion on which Kane's objectives will be Acting Information Minister! Tiao Sopsaisana said, he was un able to say how many rebels were dropped near Vang Vieng.

But in a similar operation earlier this week, about 300 were dropped into the area. The official said the information en the new drop came from Gen. Kouprasith Abhay, commander in the area, who was expected to be able to handle the situation. The general reported Thursday his forces were pushing north from Vang Vieng with a mile long column of rebels in retreat before them. He said the royal forces advanced 20 miles without encountering resistance.

Kouprasith had said the rebels apparently abandoned a drive on Vang Vieng, which lies on the main north south highway between Vientiane and the royal capital of Luang Prabang 150 miles to the north. Attempt to Consolidate The new airdrop by Soviet planes indicated the rebels intend to stay put despite reinforcement of royal troops by a parachute drop earlier Uiis week. The sudden paratrooper activity on both sides appeared to be an attempt to consolidate positions and gain new ground before an expected cease fire halts the struggle. The main prize is the Vientiane Luang Prabang highway. Against the U.H.

Seek All the Facts KANE HIGHWAYS COMMITTEE SETS MEETING WITH ANF SUPERVISOR ON ACCESS ROADS EATGUTTERS, CLEflKS By JAMES KOCH SYRACUSE, NX OB A union of meatcutters and clerks struck 75 Loblaw stores in upstate New York today and five other supermarket chains shut down in sympathy with Loblaw. Nearly 9,000 are employed in the 300 stores involved in varying sec tions of the upstate area.

There are 2,000 employed by the Loblaw chain. Negotiators resumed talks, which broke off shortly before last midnight after a 15 hour attempt to avert the strike. Union Charge The Amalgamated Meat Cutters, Butchers and Affiliated crafts contended that Loblaws was out to destroy their union by refusing to bargain individually. There was also disagreement on a wage package. Management contended the union was trying to wreck their united front.

In addition to Loblaw's, the affected chains are the Great Atlantic ad Pacific Tea American Stores (Acme). Victory Johnson and Harts. A strike against one chain is "considered by us to be a strike against all," a management negotiator said. In Rochester, however, and Harts stores opened this morning with only their meat counters shut down. All stores were reported closed in Uiica.

Samuel J. Talarico, the union's district leader, pickets posted at Loblaw's stores. There was little outside evidence of strike activity, however, except for signs in many stores "closed because of strike." Many families stocked up with food in advance of the strike. Stores in Syracuse, for instance were Jammed Thursday and Thursday night. Can goods and meat were prime targets.

Chain stores in the strike area still open, such as Grand Union and Mohican Markets, and independents poised for a banner business day. Also Plan Sessions With Army Corps, Highways Dept. With serious awareness of the vital effect of an adequate highway system keyed to the Kinzua Dam and its recreational potential in two main areas programmed near Kane by the U. S. Forest Service, the Special Highways Committee of the Kane Chamber of Commerce last night gave a thorough review of the problems involved and will arrange separate meetings with representatives of the Allegheny National Forest, U.

S. Forest Service, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Pennsylvania Highways Department. The committee felt that sessions with a representative group from all phases of community life in Kane with the agencies involved in the Kinzua Dam projects would give a firm basis of public thinking on which to submit recommendations, requests or petitions to the State Highways Department at a later, but near future, date.
