Khrushchev Message
Seen As Good Omen
MOSCOW (UPI) - Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev's New
Year's message to the United
States was viewed by Western
diplomats today as a good omen
for 1954 because of its concrete
proposals and lack of boasts or
threats.
They said Khrushchev not
t only issued one of the friendli
est messages in years but in-i
dicated the Soviets might ac
cept at least one part of West
ern disarmament plans.
This is a stcn-bystep ap
proach to disarmament, with
adequate controls as each step
is achieved. In the past, the
Khrushchev line has been to
press for sweeping general dis
armament at once, with the
control systems to come later.
Khrushchev, whose New
Year's statement was issued
Monday in response to questions
nut to him by this correspond
cnt, said the new year could
bring "decisive change for the
better in the entire internation
al situation." He listed a broad
range of issues on which East-

Ring of Issues
They Included:
"Measures aimed at slow

further alleviating international
tension.
Reductions in armed forces
and military spending by both
sides. , ,
A non-aggression agreement
between the North Atlantic

members.
Agreement not to spread

which do not have their own,
Establishment of nuclear-

The lowest priority was given
to a Berlin settlement, although
Khrushchev warned that "it
would be unwise and I would
say dangerous to put this mat

Feature Statement
Soviet ' newspapers spread
Khrushchev s statement over
front pages Monday and today
and Moscow Radio broadcasts
featured It.
(The Western press also wel
comed Khrushchev s stand.
Moderate and hopeful," Lon
don's Daily Mail said. The
Guardian of Manchester said
the West will agree with many
of Khrushchev's plans, and said
"the vital one is to keep nu
clear weapons in the hands only
of those now possessing them,
and if possible, in fewer hands
still." .
(The London Daily Sketch
said, however, that Khrush
chev's "noble sentiments
must be set against his actions
twice since Cuba Nikita
Khrushchev has also brought
tho world closer to war ... by
blockades of roads to Berlin."
(The Times of London specu
lated that "domestic reasons
also lead him to seek an easing
of the tensions.")
Paper Says Hof fa
Tried For 'Deal'
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (UPI) The
St. Louis Post Dispatch said
Monday that Teamstci' Presi
dent James llotfa attempted to
make a deal with the federal
government to dismiss charges
against him in exchange for his
resignation from the presidency
ot the union.
The government sources wore
reported to have declined the
offer and told Hoffa, through
the intermediaries who proposed
the deal, that the only way
Hoffa could escape trial in
Nashville and Chicago was to
plead guilty.
The Post-Dispatch, in a Wash
ington story, said, "Hoffa initi
ated the feelers lart summer
through intermediaries, one of
whom was his chief lieutenant
Harold J. Gibbons, of St. Louis,
Teamsters international vice
president."
The newspaper said, "Gibbons
denied categorically that he had
o' er spoken to government offi
cials or anyone else concerning
any alleged deal to quash pros
ecution of Hoffa."
lloffa is accused of jury tam
pering In Tennessee along with
six other men. In Chicago, Hof
fa has been charged with con

Release Of Refugees, Hostage
NICOSIA, Cyprus (UPI)
Greek and Turkish Cypriots to
day began releasing refugees
and hostages held by both sides
in a step toward restoring
peace to this bitterly-divided is
land republic.
The exchange began shortly
after a new gun battle marred
the uneasy cease-fire.
A British military spokesman
said the shots were fired in the
Omorphita area of Nicosia
when Greek Cypriot police ran
into three Turkish cypriots try
ing to return to the quarter. No
injuries were reported. Two
Turks were taken to police head
quarters and the third disap
peared. Sandys Visits Hostages

The agreement to exchange
the prisoners was signed Mon

olence between the two commu
nities for more than a week.
About 200 persons are believed
to have been killed and many
wounded. -
British troops moved into the

and Greek communities in an
effort to end the bloodshed.

Medics' Offices
Hit By Burglar
Doctors' offices in the Medi
cal Arts Building were burglar
ized sometime over the week
end, it was revealed following
investigation Monday.
Apparently the burglar was
after money, because little else
was disturbed, and the money
reported missing was only in
small change amounts and
stamps.
The report showed $20 in
stamps and about $1.25 in
change missing from the office
of Dr. R. W. Pearson; Dr. C.
L. Code, $5 in change; Dr. A.
N. Johnson, nothing taken; Dr.
H. W. Kring, transistor radio;
Dr. Hall Scely, roll of 500 five-
cent stamps. The Production
Credit office was also entered
and so was that of Dr. J. E.
Campbell, but it was not yet
known if anything was taken.
Evidence revealed entry of
the building was gained by
climbing from a roof shed onto
the Carter Building on bE Main
St., then climbing onto the
News-Review building, crossing
It, and then crawling through
an unlocked window into Dr.
Pearson's office.
Entry to each of the doctor s
offices was made by breaking
out a small hole in the glass
doors, then reaching through to
unlock the doors. The burglar
ies were discovered by the cus
todian.
