WASHINGTON — (UP) President Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan were reported ready today to seek a scientific alliance of 40 or more free world nations to counter Russia's new challenge.
Conferees Seek Scientific Alliance
Outlines of the big two "grand concept" were expected to be revealed, at least in part, in the final communique slated for issuance at the close of the Eisenhower-Macmillan talks late today.
Their communique will contain an "extensive report" on measures to increase Anglo-American scientific-military cooperation. It also will condemn Russian sabre-rattling in the mideast and urge new steps toward peace in the explosive Bible lands.
The communique was almost certain to sound an optimistic note on U.S. and allied scientific and weapons
developments. The Macmillan-Eisenhower conference, arranged under the shadow of Russia's earth satellite has been showered with a pyrotechnical display of new U.S. rocket and missile shoots calculated in part to give a lift to the west's falling scientific prestige.

Polish Leader Blasts Opponents
WAERSAW —(UP)—Polish Communist Party leader Wladyslaw Gomulka bitterly attacked his Stalinist and revisionist opponents in a speech released today.
He recommended a drastic clean-out of the party of both the extreme left and the extreme right.

Series Of Strikes Paralyzes France
PARIS — (UP) — Nationwide strikes by millions of French workers beat leaderless France to its knees today. The paralyzing strikes came on the 25th day of France's gravest government crisis since World War II. The almost powerless, lameduck government of Premier Maurice Bourges-Maunoury vainly strove to preserve order.
The strikes piled difficulty upon difficulty on Socialist Guy Mollet who is trying to form a government. He goes before the National Assembly Monday, but his chances of winning approval grew slimmer by the hour.
Dr. James Mott, state epidemiologist at Topeka, said state health laboratory tests take about two weeks to confirm the variety of flu bug. But Dr. Mott said Tuesday "an invasion of Asian flu" had hit Kansas
Only a small percentage had been definitely confirmed as of the Asian influenza type.
At Kansas State College in Manhattan, student health director Dr. B.W. Lafene, said 7 or 8 per cent of the students were in the student hospital with flu illnesses.
Dr. Mott said the "invasion of the Asian variety had been definitely confirmed in the counties of Graham, Sumner, Sedgwick, Butler, Riley, Douglas and Wyandotte.

Name That Sputnik
CHARLOTTE, N. C. — (UP) — An entrant in a newspaper contest suggested the earth satellite be named "city council" because: "(1) It goes around in circles; (2) No one seems to be quite sure how it works; (3) It makes silly noises and (4) Often it seems not so bright."

WASHINGTON — (UP)— The AFL-CIO Executive Council, in a get-tough mood, called two more scandal-scarred unions on the carpet today following its suspension of the mighty Teamsters Union.
