Russia Seeks Talks In U.S., Ike Says
(Compiled from United Press)
President Eisenhower disclosed today that Russia has suggested holding an east-west summit conference in the United States.
The President said it would be a good idea, should such a meeting be called, to hold it in the United States if it were a long one. But he said the place wouldn't make a great deal of difference in the case of a short meeting.
He repeated at his news conference that such a meeting must be carefully planned, so there would be reason to believe it would produce real results.
The bustling garment industry ended a quarter century of labor peace today when 60,000 workers left their jobs in New York's garment district and marched to a Madison Square Garden rally.
The President also abruptly rejected a suggestion from a reporter that the disability agreement with Vice-President Nixon might set a bad precedent that could be taken advantage of in case the President and vice-president were not men of good will.
Former President Truman and Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.) have questioned the legality of the agreement. They have said an ammendment to the constitution is necessary. But the President said he believes the agreement is legal and constitutional.
The strike is the first general strike in the garment industry since 1933. It was expected to affect a total of 105,000 workers. An additional 25,000 workers who make belts, buttons and embroidery would be idled by the strike, the union said.
The Air Force is now studying a space station that would be built more than 20,000 miles above the earth and hover over any given part of the world.
A triangular area in blizzard-hi-
north central and northwest Kau-
sas received new snows Tuesday
totaling from 8 to 15 inches.
Wakeencoy in the deep snow belt from last week's blizzard reported a total of 20 inches of snow on the ground today, while Stockton reported 24 inches. Chief foraster Richard Carrett said in Topeka the snow was almost half water and predicted a rapid melting through today.
This was disclosed by Lt. Gen. Clarence S. Irvine, Air Force deputy chief of staff for material, in a speech Tuesday to the Armed Forces Communications Electronic Assn.
Three men were arrested on murder charges today in the deaths of 25 persons from poison bootleg alcohol.
Police said one of them, Francisco Padin, 32, of Hoboken, N. J., had admitted stealing 60 gallons of wood alcohol from the chemical plant where he works and selling it—for $35 a five gallon can—to smalltime bootleggers in the Bronx and Manhattan.

KuKu Pledges Must Earn Points To Become Active
The KuKu, upperclass men's pep club, is one of the KU pep organizations which uses a point system so the pledges can earn the right to become actives.
David Wilson, president, said the pledges, which this year number about 35, get these points by such activities as saving seats for the club at the football and basketball games, decorating goal posts during the football season, and working in the Ku Ku office on Saturday mornings.
This year a lot of work was done on revamping the card display section at the football games. Pledges
also get credit for serving on committees.
Attendance in uniform at the recent Michigan State track meet was required of all pledges.
Wilson said there was a double purpose in requiring this: to give the pledges a chance to get more points and to arouse more interest in track.
Initiation is being planned tentatively for April, Wilson said. At that time, the pledge with the most points will get an award.

No Inter-service Fight, Ft. Riley General Says
"Traditional" inter-service rivalry does not exist. Tl
That is the opinion of Brig. Gen. Forrest Caraway, assistant division commander of the 1st Infantry Division at Fort Riley.
Gen. Caraway, who made a "courtesy" visit to the Army ROTC unit here Tuesday, said, "There is honest disagreement among the services but I don't think there is any "traditional" rivalry."
"I don't even believe there is duplication of efforts," he said in an interview.
He said his trip to KU was not an inspection, but a visit as a representative of the commanding general of the 5th Army. The visit, he said, was to determine if there are any deficiencies or problems in the ROTC structure at KU and other universities.
"I have been vary happy with what I have found in the ROTC universities." he said. "What I have seen looks very well for the future of the army."
He said that although the ROTC is the largest source of officers for the services, college trained people are needed regardless of military training background.
