tbe Issue at their talks here in
the last three days,
It was understood the United
tates wanted the start of disarmament negotiations deferred
until after the summit- conference. Britain, backed by Canada,
argued that lf the negotiations began before the summit any obstacles that cropped up could be
i-lied in' foreign ministers [alks in Geneva[ dealt with by the heads of gov-
five powers should meet in Washington next month to prepare for
the talks.
There are two main proposals
on record to be examined in
Washington and at the Geneva
meeting. One Is Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev's call at the
United Nations last September for
total disarmament within three
years.
The other is Britain's plan for
a phased reduction of nuclear and
conventional arms.

ENVOYS SEE GROMYKO
The British, U.S., and French
ambassadors, in separate meetings with Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko, indicated the
Western powers would like to discuss East-West relations, disarmament and Germany, including
the Berlin problem.
' A french • gov«cnnx-it spokesman aald Gromyko nited the
Western envoys for a few clarifications of the letters, which proposed summit meetings "from
time to time" in the Big Four
capitals.
Canadian External Affairs Minister Green said he was broadly
satisfied with the way things have
gone in Paris.

Hurrying down the steps of his
jet airliner, despite the arduous!
pace of the last 18 days of travelling, the U.S. president in a few|
words repeated the message of
peace and freedom he has carried!
to nine other lands. He said:
"I come lo this nation, one of
the ancestors of America, with a
message from the American
people to the Spanish people,
looking for a brighter future in
ro-0perative labor for the noblest.
of all human causes: Peace and
friendship in freedom,"
FRIENDSHIP SYMBOL
In greeting Elsenhower, Franco
said the Torrejon air base had
been built "with the formidable
assistance of the United States
and, sheltering both Spanish and
American wings in close compnn-
loship, Is a symbol of our friendship."
Torrejon Is one of four bases
the United Slates has established
|n Spain at a cost of $2,000,000,000.
The two chiefs of state got ipto
Eisenhower's car which had be.n
brought from Washington and
flown from Paris, for a short tour
of the air base, then started nt a
30-mile-an-hour clip lo Madrid.
Only a few miles from Torrejon
"viva Ike" cheers began to roll
from the groups that had been
waiting shivering in the rain. The
procession was so slowed in the
heart of the city that it was 40
minutes late in reaching Moncloa
palace, where Elsenhower is staying.
At a breakfast conference with
Franco today he will tell the
Spanish chief of the Western
summit talks in Paris and the
forthcoming conference with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.
He takes off at 11 a.m. for Morocco, last of the 11 countries on
his tour, ...

"We have two legal avenues
to pursue," said lawyer A.I.
Wirin, "They may take months
and months to process."
One involves going back lo the
U.S, Supreme Court where Chessman's case has been heard half
a dozen times.
WRIT PENDING
Another involves returning to
a writ of habeas corpus Chessman has pending in U.S. district
court tn San Francisco,
Both moves, like most of the
legal steps that have kept Chessman alive since IBM, are based

of 200 Lockheed Starflghter jets
for the RCAF Air Division In
Europe may cost more than the
announced $420,000,000, informants said Monday.
The reason for this Is that Canadian companies would have to.
be provided with tooling by the
government before thcy could
compete with American firms for
contracts for Starflghter components. No provision was made for
this when the program was announced lasl .July,
Until recently, military aircraft
production programs have been
on a cost-plus basis—that is, thc
manufacturer gets from the government the cost of production
plus a certain percentage for
profit.
But cost-plus contracts now are
giving way to firm price contracts
under which the manufacturer
