State Department officials said the Pravda editorial would have would have to solve some prob lems themselves is not the kind of meeting the Western Pow ers proposed. But it might serve Russian purposes since the Reds traditionally seek sweeping gen eralized commitments such as a pledge to outlaw atomic arms or recognition of zones of influence.

2. The editorial protested West em rejection of Vienna as a site for the conference. Secretary Dulles took the position it would be improper for Eisenhower to go into an area where the Russians shared occupation. The Soviets are insisting on Vienna apparently because they want maximum propa ganda for their, Austrian formula of unity and independence for a country provided it is neutralized. 3.

Pravda expressed deep re sentment to a statement in the Dulles-Eisenhower radio-television broadcast of last Tuesday night that a Big Four conference should consider the problems of the So viet satellite states and of ending the "test" of Communist opera tions in free countries.

They would not be surprised if it was followed up by an official note from the Soviet government Monday or Tuesday along the same line, perhaps milder in tone. Meanwhile the State Department had no formal comment.

The in itial reaction of U.S. officials was the Russians are not trying to get out of the Big Four meeting but probably are trying to twist it more to their purposes. In this respect several interest ing points stand out: 1. Pravda, which is the Commu nist party newspaper, said that the United States was being "unreasonable" about the length of the meeting. It also spoke of having the meeting give serious con sideration to urgent international problems.

ATLANTA, May 22 UP) Union members in nine Southeastern states were voting tonight on a proposed new contract with the Southern Bell Telephone Co. Copies of the 12-page document were sent out to 130 union locals shortly after top level agreement was reached Friday night, ending the 68-day striff-ridden strike. W. A. Smallwood, district director of the CIO Communications Workers of America, said a great many meetings are being held to night to give the membership a chance to vote on the proposal.

"We hope to get a complete re port by not later than Monday night," he said. "If the document is ratified, then the people can go back to work Tuesday. No results of the vote on ratification have been received in Atlanta, union spokesmen said, and pointed out most of the meetings were scheduled at night. Very little damage has been reported in the past two days. A dynamite blast damaged a tele phone pole near Birmingham, yesterday, and 200 telephones were knocked out temporarily near Ox-moor, Friday.

Full details of the proposed contract will not be made public until after the vote is completed. A likely dispute developed as to who won the strike. The union claimed in a statement that its position was "completely vindicat ed." The company reported that this is a poor time indeed for the union to boast about a victory.

who flew an F86 Sabre Jet coast-to-coast round-trip in 11 hours, 26 minutes 33 seconds. "But I couldn't make the same trip again in the same week." Conroy, a World War II Air Force veteran who calls himself "a weekend pilot," celebrated his record-breaking flight by attending a National Guard dance last night. He planned to sleep late today. Coasl-to-coast Conroy beat the sun across the country by two hours 28 minutes. His breakfast- to-supper dash broken up by lunch in New York City was inspired by Armed Forces day.

He said he couldn't have done it with out the help of his National Guard buddies. "I could have flown faster on the way back if I'd made only two stops," he said, "but we planned it with three so I couldn't 4 miss. His East to West flight 5: clipped more than an hour and a half off Paul Mantz' 1947 mark of 7:00:04 in 1947. His West-East flight was considerably slower than the listed mark of 3:46:33 set by Air Force Lt. Col.

Robert D. Scott last March 10 in an F84F. Scott refueled in the air; Conroy landed twice en route to New York. Conroy, 34, flew by his own navigation from Los Angeles to New York but relied on the Air Force's nationwide radar service on the return trip. "I was so tired I didn't want to watch the map, so I flew by radar all the way back," the handsome ex-b omber pilot admitted.

"They gave me the course and I followed it." He was proud of the fact he beat his own estimated arrival time by nearly four minutes. He had set HVz hours, total elapsed time, as his goal. His wife Jeane broke down and wept on her mother's shoulder when the Sabre Jet first buzzed the San Fernando Valley Airport. But by the time her husband land ed, she was all smiles. The three young Conroys Bar bara, 4, Timothy, 3, and Billy, 1 were hopping like pogo stocks.

One of the warmest welcomes came from T. Sgt. James C. El-ledge, 32, crew chief who readied the plane for Conroy's hop. El-ledge, former Winston-Salem.

"I appreciate il the time put the world is settling down to normal peacetime conditions, we can consider that question then." He said the expected visit of So viet Foreign Minister Molotov to the United Nations ceremonies in San Francisco next month should provide an opportunity for discussion of a program for the subsequent top-level conference.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, May 22 (Rus sia took a long step today toward rejection of the terms and condi tions set by the Western Powers for a top-level Big Four confer ence this summer.

An editorial in Pravda, bitterly attacking these terms as if they had been proposed by the United States alone, also suggested to experts here that the Soviet Union trying to drive a wedge be tween the United States on the one hand and Britain and France on the other. The implication of the Soviet line is that it is only the American leaders who are being unreasonable. Actually the terms for the meeting that it should be short and confined to a definition of the problems and the methods to be used in solving them were jointly pro posed to the Russians in an Ameri can-British-French note two weeks ago. But since then President Eisen hower and Secretary of State Dulles have been more outspoken than their Paris and London Allies in emphasizing the strength and firmness of the Western stand. Ap Mrs.

George (D-Ga) said today the Unit ed States must not give up European airbases or reduce its mili tary strength there despite any "bold move" by Russia to erect a neutral zone between East and West. George, who heads the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told newsmen there are "no present circumstances under which we can afford to give up our air bases or decrease our forces in Europe." Replying to critics who have said Russia's prime objective at any top-level.

Big Four conference would be to dissipate American military strength in Europe, George said: "I don't think we can give up anything at this time or rest on our oars in any way. We can't let our guard down now. No proposal Russia makes should affect our military efforts until we have had time to see some real change in the world situation." Sen. Knowland of California, the Republican leader, has contended that the Soviets are aiming at bringing about withdrawal of American troops from the Continent. He has predicted attempts to neutralize a belt of countries across Europe from Yugoslavia to Scandinavia.

George, first in this country to call for a "summit" conference between President Eisenhower and the heads of Britain, France and Russia, said he has no doubt the Russians will come forward with a very bold program" at such a meeting. "They will probably have a new disarmament proposal," he said. "They are likely to suggest the creation of a neutral zone between East and West. "They may even propose that the United States, Britain and France on one side guarantee the neutrality of a dividing zone while they guarantee it on the other. We should be prepared for some unusually bold proposals from them." George said he doesn't believe these proposals need be "disturb ing" to the West.

But he conceded that any move toward neutralization might appeal to some factions in Western Germany and would be likely to affect East German sen timent greatly. In this connection, he applauded efforts of the Bonn government to rush rearmament bills through the West German Parliament before the contemplated summit conference this summer. George said it was his under standing the Adenauer government wants to get rearmament moving speedily. He said he was informed that about $1,600,000,000 in American military supplies would be made available to the West Ger mans as they need them. President Eisenhower said last Wednesday that the idea of a neu tral bloc appeared to have devel oped since the Austrian peace trea ty was signed.

He noted, however, that under the treaty Austria could rearm, saying that kind of neutral ity was far different from a mili tary vacuum. George said that while he does not favor a neutralized zone, West Germany could "rearm to the hilt" and far in excess of its NATO quota under the same kind of neutrality now imposed on Austria. He said there now are no conditions under which American military strength could be lessened in Europe, but emphasized he was not saying that the time would never come for a withdrawal of U. S. troops.

"I am not contending that we must remain there in perpetuity," he said. "If in time we find FEDDERS AIR CONDITIONERS Flush Window or Thru the Wall installation. For Difficult or Unusual Installations Call R. K. JAYNE GENERAL CONTRACTOR PHONE t-1528 FUNERAL SERVICE INFORMATION MR.
