Pilot In Russia ASILOMAR, May 8 (JP) Ike Returns to White House, Calls in Herter for Talks; Khrushchev Move Awaited on the first try. "It was a good clear trans mission, lasting about a minute and a half," the agency edge of President Eisenhower and just a week before the President goes to Paris for the summit conference with Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev and British and French leaders. One important Republican member of Congress, who insisted that his remarks be "off the record," exploded when asked about the incident. "Dumb" and "stupid" were some of the milder expletives he used to describe the State Department's handling of the affair.

Won't Stop Ike At the same time, high administration officials told United Press International that the incident, while embarrassing to this country would not deter the President from going to the Paris conference. There was a possibility that the President would make a nationwide radio and television address this week as is his custom before attending foreign conferences. If he does, he could scarcely ignore the plane incident. Among those calling for a congressional investigation were Senate Democratic whip Mike Mansfield (Mont) and Sen. Styles Bridges (R-NII), chairman of the Senate GOP policy committee.

They said In separate Interviews that they expect the appropriate Senate committees to call in administration officials for a detailed explanation, Congress Probe Bridges called on the Senate Armed Services Committee to take immediate steps to question administration officials "no that Congress can find out what Is going on." He is a high ranking member of the committee. The congressional anger w'aj prompted by the State Department's frank admission yesterday that the plane downed over Soviet territory a week aco "probably" was seeking intelligence information. It said such flights were designed to protect the West against a surprise Russian military attack. But the department denied Khrushchev's charge that the NASA added that because of The Inspector General of the Central Intelligence Agency to day refused any comment on the shooting down of an American high-altitude plane in Russia and the capture of its pilot. But earlier, a speech prepared and delivered before State Department comment on the enormous power drain Imposed by the 150-watt unit the transmitter is being operated only about two or three minutes every six to eight hours.

The satellite is being "questioned" by listening posts at Manchester, England, and at South Point, Hawaii. Minor Failure In saying it is not certain how long Pioneer will continue to be heard, NASA explained: "In recent weeks, a minor father had purchased to his grandmother and after making his delivery ran across the road where a truck was stalled, out of gas, to investigate what was the matter. Finding he could do nothing to help, the child started back across the highway and was struck. Authorities gave cause of his death as head and internal injuries. Charles was a student at Palm View Elementary school and attended the Seventh Day Adventist church of Palmetto.

He was born in Bradenton. Besides his parents, survivors include five brothers, George, Robert James Joe S. and Ernest two sisters, Mrs. Marjorie Gallin and Mrs. Palmeria Ivey, all of Manatee County; his paternal grandmother, Mrs.

Rose Bishop, Palm View, and his maternal grandfather, Martin Grey, Tallahassee. The child's death marked Manatee County's 10th fatal accident this year. PALMETTO, May 8 (By Staff Writer) A small boy who had just delivered a bouquet of Mother's Day flowers to his grandmother was struck down and killed on U.S. Highway 41 north of here this morning. According to the State Highway Patrol, Charles William Bishop, 7, son of Mr.

and Mrs. George Bishop, Bay-shore road, died in the emergency room of a Bradenton hospital shortly after he ran in front of an oncoming car one and a half miles north of Palmetto. Investigating Trooper C. H. Woodle said a car driven by Mrs.

Editha Deas Smoak, Rt. 2, Palmetto, was traveling south on the highway at 9:50 when the boy ran from behind a truck parked on the east side of the road into the path of her auto. The Smoak car struck him and then ran" into the ditch. Officials said the boy had taken a bouquet which his Bryant And Carlton Stage Hot TV Debate MIAMI, May 8 Farris Bryant and Doyle Carlton lugged away at each other vith charges of "race baiter" and "demagogue" tonight In their first face-to-face meeting of the runoff campaign for governor. Their fast-moving half-hour televised debate over WPST-TV was a far cry from the rather dull first primary campaign where the 10-man field was so bulky the candidates couldn't get to each other at close range.

The race issue dominated the $how. Carlton, state senator from Wauchula, called Bryant a "race baiter." The former State House speaker from Ocala heatedly accused Carlton of lining up with the "Northern demagogues." Each Accuses Other The two candidates attacked each other's records on the turnpike and reapportionment. And each contender accused the other of being dominated by the special Interests. Bryant remarked that Carlton was ro vague about bis stand on integration that he couldn't figure out where he stood. Carlton came back with a charge that Bryant was "a master of the half truth" and accused Bryant's headquarters of quoting only half of his remarks reacting to Gov.

LeRoy Collins speech on the sitin demonstrations. And Carlton came in with the incident. Lyman B. Kirk- patrick told the World Af fairs Council that the United States' intelligence network within the Soviet Union is more component failure has been effective "that! the Russians be noted and compensated for. Also some slight deterioration in the batteries has been ob served, possibly the result of leakage in the vacuum of lieve it to be.

Kirkpatrick's appearance at the council's 14th annual conference here was unusual, but the theme of the sessions is "competitive co-existence Dilemma of the 60's." He said that although Intelligence sources in Russia are better than the Soviet government believes, "they still are not as effective as we would like them to be" he did not elaborate. No Comment He was asked later whether the pilot of the U.S. plane shot; spokesman. Rep. William E.

Miller of New York, suggested that Eisenhower might refuse to attend the bis four meeting if Khrushchev "makes a circus out of" the plane episode in the next few days. Miller, chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee, said the fate of the summit parley was at stake "depending on how Mr. Khrushchev handles it (the plane incident)." Speaking on a television program (CBS Face the Nation) Miller said "I suppose it does" when asked whether the U.S. admission jeopardizes the life of the captured pilot. Serene Atmosphere? Further moves by Khrushchev to exploit the incident in spectacular fashion will convince Eisenhower that the Soviet leader is more interested in propaganda than in creating a serene atmosphere for discussion of critical world problems.

Diplomatic authorities said the case already has dimmed what slim prospects there were that the top level big four meeting could resolve the East-West deadlock on the future of Berlin, Germany and disarmament. Khrushchev has it within his power, they said, to torpedo the remaining chances completely unless he handles the followup in a subdued way. Trial Feared Eisenhower and his top aides clearly would be deeply disturbed if, for example, Khruchchev put the captured American flier on public display at a giant news conference or if he were put on public trial prior to the summit conference. Such Soviet moves might serve Moscow's propoganda purpose, it is acknowledged, but would be almost certain to arouse an indignant storm of protest among Americans. WASHINGTON, May 8 President Eisenhower, due to face Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev across the summit table a week from tomorrow, called in his secretary of state for an unscheduled Sunday conference today.

Presumably the prime topic of their discussion was the foreign policy impact of the U.S. spy plane incident. Eisenhower met with Secretary of State Christian A. Herter immediately on returning to the White House from a weekend trip to his Gettysburg farm. Herter was at the White House when the President arrived at 4:45 p.m.

(EDT) and remained with Eisenhower until 6. After he left, the White House said there would be no statement on their discussions. Spotted Car Reporters learned of the meeting only after spotting Herter's automobile parked on the White House grounds. They confirmed it through the President's press secretary, James C. Hagerty.

Herter, who returned Friday from an Atlantic Pact council meeting in Istanbul, spent most of yesterday in his state department office supervising preparation of this country's admission that the American plane Khrushchev boasted of shooting down was indeed on an intelligence mission. The White House conference came as top officials said Khrushchev could virtually wreck prospects for friendly talks at the summit if he continues to hammer at the incident. The Soviet leader's public behavior in the next few days, these officials said, will determine the mood in which Eisenhower will approach the long-awaited meeting in Paris next Monday.

It also cited as a mitigating factors the Russians vast espionage efforts against the West. Weakens Position Bridges said the Russians are constantly spying on this country through their far-flung network of agents.

But he said the plane flight "certainly weakened our position" at the summit meeting. The White House declined all comment on the incident, which prompted Khrushchev to unleash a new barrage of warmongering charges against the United States. Among other things, White House Press Secretary James ence that the Communists have chosen Africa as the next major segregation. Breaks la cold war battlefield.

Many Europeans are bewildered by the U.S. admission that the plane had "probably" been flying a spy mission over the Soviet Union. They had a feeling of being caught in the middle, although foreign office spokesmen everywhere kept silent leaving the public hassle to the United States and Russia (Page 11). National Leaders of both parties In Congress are up in arms about the flight of the U2 and demanded a full investigation into it Several were particularly upset that the flight was made without the knowledge of President Eisenhower just a week before he goes to Paris for the summit conference (Page 1). President Eisenhower called in Secretary of State Herter for an unscheduled Sunday conference and presumably the prime topic of their discussion was the foreign policy impact of the U2 spy plane incident (Page 1).
