Unity calls rise as Eisenhower eyes Big Four talks
Senator George urged renewed free world unity ahead of any Big Four talk on world peace. Senator Knowland suggested a preliminary Big Three meeting to align policy before full discussions with Russia. George wants an agenda by fall and says a conference with Britain and France would clarify positions. Knowland says unity among free world allies is needed first and a congressional canvass should precede talks.

Union workers claim lockout amid Southern Bell strike
In Louisville and Kentucky, CIO Communications Workers of America Local 2395 reports Western Electric suspend operations for about 75 members after a 11th day of the Southern Bell strike.

Senate approves ending continuing contracts for teachers
The Senate Education Committee backs a plan to replace continuing contracts with one year terms for public school teachers to address segregation. A memo from the attorney general warns it may be impractical to keep 8500 Negro teachers under current rules if segregated schools are ruled unconstitutional. Dr. Carroll says the move is essential to implement segregation remedy legislation and could shift pupil enrollment powers to local districts. The House Judiciary panel, meanwhile, rejects a real estate licensing board plan, while debates over temporary guarantees for teachers and district redistricting continue.

N C Solons Back Bill On Imports
U S senators led by Thurmond sponsored an amendment to curb tariff cuts to no more than 5 percent annually. North Carolina's Ervin and Scott joined as Democrats with South Carolina's Johnston. The move aims to shield domestic textiles from cheaper Japanese goods and protect other industries. The measure accompanies a three year extension of the reciprocal trade program and limits executive tariff reductions.
