MOSCOW Uf! The Soviet Un
ion made public Wednesday a pro
posal calling for immediate with
drawal of the bulk of foreign forces
from both East and West Ger
many. ' "
The proposal called on the U. N.
General Assembly to declare "a
weakening of international tension
can be achieved by immediate
evacuation of troops of the four
big powers from German territory,
leaving limited contingents and
police forces."
The proposal was coupled with
a repetition of previous Soviet de
mands for prohibition of atomic
weapons as part of an overall
peace plan. .
The Soviet news agency Tass,
which Circulated the plan, said it
had been submitted in .the form of
two declarations to the U. N. sub
committee on disarmament now
holding closed sessions in London.
The Soviet declarations said each
of the four big powers should be
permitted to keep "strictly limited
contingents' of troops in Germany
temporarily, "pending conclusion
of agreement on their full with
drawal." The declarations said "strictly
limited contingents" of local po
lice forces should be established
in both Eastern and Western Ger
many under joint 'control of the
four, big powers.

i ; By THOMAS G. WRIGHT Jr. '
" Staff Writer, The Statesman
-A policy for establishing parks in tub-division plats offered for
approval was urged Tuesday by the Salem Planning Commission aft
er receiving a qualified offer of land for park purpose outside the
city,; '
An offer of 10 to 12 wooded lots for public parks on the condi
tion the city or county would take responsibility for them was made
; after final approval of a 75-lot
Liberty Gardens Addition on
Boone Koad a ball mile east of
Liberty Road was granted.
The commission directed City
Engineer J. Harold Davis, to ar
range a meeting of representa
tives of the Commission. City
Council and City Parks Advisory
committee to make a p o 1 i c y
study for accepting parks prop
erty. Final Approval
Three other additions were giv
en final approval by the commis
sion. They were for a 30-lot North
Riverr" Addition on North River
Road at the intersection: of N.
Commercial Street, 24 lots of
Parkdale Addition on Hayesville
Drive of a mile east of Lan
caster ' Drive, and for Woodland
Hills Addition on Eola Drive Y
mile south of Cascade Drive.
A petition for construction of
curb line sidewalks on the east
side of 22nd Street between Mill
Street and the Southern Pacific
tracks was approved on recom
mendation of the street commit
tee which reported construction
of sidewalks in normal position
would force removal of porches
on several residences. "
Application of James Ivan Stew
art and Merle D. Stewart to build
a house on the lot at 398 Jerris
Street with a front yard setback
of 25 V feet was approved after
no one appeared at a public hear
ing on the variance. Under the
code the setback would be reauir-
ed to be the average of the houses
on either side.

of Commonwealth Inc.. for return
ot duplex construction classifica
tions for several lots in the Ma
pleton Addition- was referred to

dwelling zone.
