"A growing realization by all" including the Soviets" that nu clear warfare pursued to the ulti mate could be practically race sui cide. 3. "A realization that negotla Hons can be conducted without propaganda and threats and in vectives." 4. "A tetter understanding and a closer unity among the nations of NATO." Without visible emotion, he spoke of the diplomatic surprise he scor ed at Geneva his proposal that this country and the Soviet Union exchange military blueprints and permit aerial photographing of each other's military facilities "The principal purpose, of course, was to convince everyone of Western sincerity fn s eeking peace," he said. "But another idea was this: "If we could go ahead and es- tablish this kind of inspection as an initiation of an inspection sys tem, we could possibly develop it into a broader one and eventually build on it an effective and dur able disarmament system, Germany Problem Tough "Probably no question caused us as much trouble," he said, "as that of German reunification and European security." "At first we thought that these could bo dealt with separately, hit' the American delegation concluded that they had to be dealt with as one subject. We held that Germany should be reunited under a govern ment freely chosen by themselves and under conditions that would provide security, both for nations of the East and for nations of the West." "The Russians, at Geneva, ap parently withdrew their objections to Western Germany's member ship in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, at least for the time being. They showed no sign of backing down, however, on their opposition to a united Germany as part of the Western security system." Oakland, Sutherlin Ask Additional Postal Room Sen. Richard L. Neuberger of Oregon reports he has asked the Public Works subcommittee on government buildings to inquire into the need for additional post office buildings or facilities at Oak land and Sutherlin. He has also asked for similar action in the cases of Portland, Pendleton, Hcppner, Hermtston, Prineville, Redmond and Enter prise. Neuberger said he is making the request as the result of complaints or statements from residents of the nine communities that the post office facilities should be expand ed. He said the committee would probably request both the Post Of fice Dept. and the Government Services Administration to file re ports on the needs of the nine towns. Neuberger said he had been as sured by Sen. W. Stuart Syming ton of Missouri, chairman of the subcommittee, that he was order ing the committee staff to report back on situations concerning space and accommodations in the nine cities. , School Districts Name Instructor In Music H.

These are the annual allowable cuts in the sustained yield pro grams of the agencies, Vondis Miller, supervisor of the Umpqua forest, said a re-inventory of the forest is being conducted.

SIATTLI Jot AYS l American Turncoats Facing Enemy Aid (harcji e Filed By Pentagon Action Stems From Information Furnished By Other fx-POWs WASHINGTON Wl Immediate arrest aboard ship at San Fran cisco and court-martial later await three young American turncoats coming home from Red China. Pentagon officials said Monday Army officers will board their ship, a passenger liner, when it docks at San Francisco next Fri day and. make the arrests there, The three are William C. Cow art. 22. Dalton, Ga Lewis W Griggs, 22, Jacksonville, Tex.; and Otho G. Bell, 24, Hillsboro, Miss., and Olympia, Wash. Captured during t h e Korean War, they refused repatriation in 1953 and decided instead to go to Red China with 18 other Allied soldiers. After a year and a half there, the returning trio persuad ed the Chinese to let them come home At Hong Kong earlier this month, all three said they were willing to serve time in American prisons if necessary, to pay for their "mistakes." The Pentagon said they will be held on various charges, including aiding the enemy and misconduct as prisoners. The Army will em phasize that the arrests have noth ing to do with the fact that the three originally refused to come home. The Army bases its case on information from other former American prisoners. Legal Questions Posed The men will be told they may see any members of their families who are in San Francisco to meet them. But they cannot go home with Iheir families. Officials said the line of action concerning the trio was chosen after consultations with the State and Justice departments. Their return stirred up some big legal questions. All three have been given dis honorable discharges on orders of Secretary of Defense Wilson. How ever, the Military Code of Justice says dishonorable discharges can be ordered only after a conviction and sentence by a general court martial, with the defendant pres ent. Military sources say there thus exists a question whether the three were legally returned to civilian life. And then there Is the question of military jurisdiction over for mer soldiers in relation to of fens-" es committed in uniform. ' ; . .' 1 . ' OUT ON BAIL Alfred T.
