British Philosopher . Editor1! Note: United Press International Vice President and Associate General Manager Kingsbury Smith Is on a fact finding tour of Europe. By KINGSBURY SMITH United Press International MINFFORDD, Wales (UPI)-A practical world peace plan that could be considered at a United Nations General Assembly meet ing, or a summit conference, if ode is ever held, was outlined to day by Lord ' Bertraud Russell, .Britain's most famous philoso pher. In an exclusive interview with this correspondent, the 8G-ycar-old intellectual genius, who wrote a masterpiece on mathematics and won the Nobel Prize for litera ture, warned that time is running out for the adoption of effective measures to prevent a nuclear war that is likely to destroy (he human race. "The chances at present seem to me to be about 50-50 whether there will beja human being left in the world 0 years hence," he said. "If present policies continue to. be pursued, the chances will be very much less than that." The plan outlined by Lord Rus sell envisaged agreements ' "in principle" with Russia which he felt could pave the way for per manent peace and a "paradise" on earth for mankind. The renowned and highly con troversial "free-thinker" devel oped the points of his peace plan in response to questions put to him by this correspondent who traveled over 200 miles from Lon don to a picturesque hillside in Wales to interview the man who : is generally recognized as pos sessing one of tile world's great est minds. . Since the Middle East situation involves a danger to world peace, Lqrd Russell felt that any U.N. General,' Assembly or summit meeting on that subject should consider the broader issue of how to . prevent a nuclear war. If agreement could be reached on that question, he is confident such problems as those of the Middle East would be much easier to solve than they are likely to be otherwise. ' .

He's due for deportation here any day now. . Kim admitted to newsmen here Friday that he entered the country , illegally seven years ago by jump ing a freighter at Los Angeles. Since, that time, his booming baritone voice earned him jobs in clubs, theaters and with the San Francisco and Los Angeles opera companies. Ho sang a leading role in Vedl's La Travlata dt the Greek theater In Los Angeles lust season. His biggest disappointment , however, was that immigration authorities caught up with him before his scheduled Oct. 1 audi tion with the Metropolitan Opera Company. He said Tenor Jan Peerce took an interest in him und arranged the audition.

O'Connell's Nomination Puts Name On Ballot PORTLAND (UPI) Oregon Supreme Court Justice Kenneth O Connell was unanimously nomi nated to his position on the bench by a vote of 388 at Lincoln High School here Thursday night.

He thinks it would be a good idea to have two outstanding per sonalities who are not closely as sociated with either the East or West blocs attend the opening ses sion of a General Assembly "or summit conference on the Middle East problem and address the meeting as the "representative of mankind on the dangers of nu clear war and unrestricted atomic tests. He suggested that Albert Schweitzer, the noted philosopher and humanist, would be a good man to be one of them, Asked whether he himself, as a recog nized spokesman for those who fear the effects of nuclear explo sions, would be willing to address such a meeting, if invited to do so, Lord Russell replied: . "I would go like a shot. It would be an opportunity in a thousand. I doubt, however, that I would be invited. Both sides suspect me to being sympathetic to the opposite bloc. The Communists have been after me recently because I de nounced the Soviets for the execu tion of the Hungarian revolt lead ers. If I did address the summit meeting on the dangers facing the human race, I would like to have Premier Nehru - of India also speak on the same subject. The Russians might pay more atten tion to him than they would to me." Asked what he would propose to Khrushchev if he were President Eisenhower at a summit meeting, the mild-mannered though mental ly vigorous humanist remarked: "That is a large question in deed. I think I would say first of all we must recognize a nu clear war means an irreparable disaster; that neither side would survive, and therefore we must agree that we are going to rule out war. Recognition of that fact must be the major axiom of our discussion. "Having ruled out war by both sides, I would say that nuclear weapons ure useless. That would be the No. 2 proposal. "The No. 3 proposition would be that since both sides are equally strong jn terms of destruction, we should seek a disarmament agree ment that will leave them equally strong.

President Cleveland at dawn July 23 to take a walk on the mist-shrouded deck. . The 12th Naval District, which held hearings on the incident, re fused to disclose its findings. They were to be forwarded to the Navy Judge Advocate General's office in Washington. ; Quigglc, described by friends as "an earnest and devoted Naval officer," was en route from Tokyo to a new station in San Diego. The Cleveland was 800 miles out of the Golden Gale when his wife reported to the ship's commander, Commodore H. D. Ehman, that her husband had disappeared, Ehman ordered a search of the ship, but did not reverse his course, saying "it would serve no purpose" because Quiggle had at ready been missing for two hours, when the Cleveland docked here two duys Inter, Ehman said Quiggle apparently went over board "by design." Commodore Ehman said the sea was calm at the time. "You cannot full off the ship," he said. The deck was covered by fog and lew passengers were up and about at the early hour. "The skipper classified it as a suicide," Doyle Quiggle said. "But he was in no position to know. The Navy Review Hoard, which began its investigation as soon ns the ship docked, did not produce any evidence of suicide." He said the family "doubts very much" that the lil.10 Anna polis graduate took his own life. "There was nothing in his char acter to justify such a conclu sion, the brother said. Dulles Named To Receive VFW Baruch Medal KANSAS CITY, Mo. (UPI) Secretary of State John Foster Dulles has been named bv the Veterans of Foreign Wars for its 1!)57-1!)58 Bernard Baruch Gold Medal award and citation. The recipient of the annual award is judged by the VFW to have contributed most "to the cause of American security, unity and 'world peace." National Commander Richard Roudebush, Indianapolis, Iml.. said Thursday Dulles would re ceive the award at a distinguished guests banquet Aug. 18 at the 59th VFW convention in New York. Dulles will deliver the keynote address that night. Past winners of the award were Baruch, Dwlght D: Eisenhower, Cardinal Francis Spcllm.in. Itich ard M.

The fault with disarmament proposals that have been put forward by both sides since 1945 is that they are designed to leave the other side in a weaker position. "It has been said on the West ern side that abolition of nuclear weapons would leave the Commu nist world superior in ground forces. That is a valid argument unless you can get an effective agreement to limit tfie ground forces so that there would contin ue to be an equal balance of mili tary power. It would be difficult, but it could be done. "I would then propose a disen gagement in Central, Europe, , J would suggest that alien forces be withdrawn everywhere." That would be a sacrifice for the Amer ican system of security, but it would be a sacrifice for the Rus sians, because it would have to include the withdrawal of Soviet military forces from the satellite states. Once the Russians with drew, those states would revert to the West. However, the agreed area of withdrawal on either side should be such as to leave the present balance of power unaf fected. , "I would propose that this dis engagement anply in the begin ning to all of Germany, Poland and Hungary.

"I would point out that if such measures as these could be taken, it would make it much more dif ficult for either side to resort to war arid it would create a favor able atmosphere for the negotia tions of an effective international system for the inspection and con trol of nuclear weapons. "I would say that if these prin ciples could be agreed upon at the summit meeting, then both sides could proceed to conclude the nec essary agreements to implement them." , Lord Russell said he would also propose that all nations be called upon to reaffirm their willingness to submit all disputes among them to international arbitration, and that the big powers under take to apply an economic block ade against any nation that re fused to abide by the verdict. He said he would further advocate es tablishment of a permanent Unit ed Nations police force to safe guard the smaller nations from direct or indirect aggression. "I would," he added, "say to both sides: 'If you do not want war, this is the way to go about preventing it.' I would emphasize that if there is a nuclear War. nobody and nobody's system will be left."

On the west side of the Mason Dixon line formed' by U.S. High way 91 which ribbons across the desert toward .heavily populated Southern California are the forces of nudity or "art lovers." On the east are the anti-nudes, or hotels which have warned that no good will come of the "trend toward nudity." Observing the scene is the Ro man Catholic Church which Thurs day joined the issue with a pas toral letter decrying the trend to ward nudity and warning . mem bers of the church to stay away from such shows. The Most Rev. Bishop Robert J. Dwyer of the Diocese of Ne vada issued a pastoral letter which will be read at each Mass on Sunday. It stated: "All Catholics are strictly for bidden by the Divine Law itself to have any part in entertainment which is of its nature indecent or suggestive.

"Then when my husband comes home and starts in, 'Did you?... did you?... did you?' I just say 'Yes. dear, yes dear, yes dear.' "And, do you know? I've never yet been caught!'!' The bosom barrier was first broken by the Dunes which was followed recently by the newly opened Stardust and the El Rancho. Commented Major A. Riddle, president of the Dunes Hotel: "The question of nudity has been the battleground separating the church and the artist since the earliest times. The artist has always proclaimed the human body as a thing of beauty, to be admired and revealed in good taste and in glorification of the highest concept. "In the case of exposing the fe male form for public view, the tradition of nudity, in the theater has been solely to glorify beauty."
