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.

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

tives of the Commission. City

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

on several residences. "

ed to be the average of the houses
