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

. 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

His biggest disappointment ,
however, was that immigration
authorities caught up with him
before his scheduled Oct. 1 audi

Company. He said Tenor Jan

Kim was sent to Portland where

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. There should be no net ad-

happened to the 52-year-old Naval
officer ufter he left his stateroom
on the S.S. 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

"There was nothing in his char

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

Dulles will deliver the keynote

vantage to either side from a dis
armament agreement. 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 point out that if such

it would make it much more dif

"I would say that if these prin

summit meeting, then both sides

them to international arbitration,

said he would further advocate es

Gambling Resort Divided
By 'Trend Toward Nudity7
LAS VEGAS. Nev. (UPI)
Factions warring over bare bos
omed showgirls figuratively faced
each other Friday across the high
way dividing this gambling re
sort's famed "strip" of resort ho
tels. 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. Visitors of the Catholic
Faith are bound by the same law
there is no vacation from the
Ten Commandments."

The bosom barrier was first

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."
