Ua". of THE 59th Year weeping arms plan offered by 'Peace force'l would end world armies GENEVA (UPI) The United States today proposed to cut the world's arms by almost two-thirds in six years and replace national armies with a United Nations peace force in about a decade. The American plan was pre sented to the 17-nation disarma ment conference as a draft treaty for "general and complete disarm ament in a peaceful world." In it, the United States took a considerable political risk by agreeing to accept Russia's word on the amount of arms and troops the Soviets would have in service at the start of disarmament. Sampling Technique Another innovation was Uie in troduction of a sampling technique to be employed by the internation al disarmament organization to in sure that all nations were reduc ing their military establishments as promised. The U.S. treaty draft, submitted by Ambassador Arthur H. Dean at the 23rd plenary session of the conference, was considerably more detailed than the one brought in by the Russians when the confer ence opened five weeks ago. American officials said the draft was an elaboration of tho disarm ament program the United States offered to the United Nations last Sept 25. They explained the elaboration took six months because the U.S. government had to determine its relationship to all American com mitments, cold war areas and So viet strength and intentions. The preamble and the outline of objectives and principles are al ready under discussion by the conference. Requires Spot Checks The United States, accused in the past of reluctance to discuss more than Isolated measures of disarmament, now is prepared to have its treaty draft considered paragraph by paragraph, officials said. Inspection of disarmament to assure that no country exceeded the amount of arms or soldiers it was supposed to have at any stage would be based on methods already widely used in industry for quality control It would require spot checks. Each country would be divided into zones. From time to time, one of the zones would bo given a surprise audit. Applying the law of mathematical probability, U.S. officials said, the zonal inspection system could be used to determine whether a country was honng its undertaking without having to send inspectors over the entire nation in question. In private talks, U.S. officials said. Soviet delegates to the con ference seemed interested in the new inspection proposal.

BEND Fourteen Pages Bend, Olpli JERRY GALLER He's still not talking Galler continues on Ohio deaths Jerry Galler, 24, held in the county jail on a narcotics posses sion charge, isn't giving any in formation on two mystery deaths April 8 in Parma Heights, Ohio. He is being questioned by state and federal officers. Galler had been free on bond awaiting arraignment on the pos session charge, and had also post ed bail in various parts of the Northwest on other charges in cluding burglary. There is also a federal warrant for him charging unlawful flight across state lines to avoid prosecution. (This was a grand larceny charge in Ohio.) Gallor, together with Theron Wells, 24, and RaphicI A. Fernan dez, 34, all of Tacoma, were ar rested several weeks ago on a burglary charge and were freed in Eugene on bail. Galler was ar rested here for narcotics posses sion, and was arraigned on that charge Monday. Then on Apru 8 in the Cleve land, Ohio, suburb. Wells and Richard Conley, 37, Hayward, Calif., were found dead in a motel room. Fernandez was with them. Galler, who had checked into the motel with the others, was gone. Drug Caused laboratory tests on the bodies revealed yesterday that the deaths were caused by a habit- forming drug, a German-developed synthetic which is used as a substitute for morphine. Known as methadone - hydrochloride, it can be taken orally or by injec tion and must be obtained by prescription. It has effects simi lar to heroin and morphine. At the time Galler was first ar rested in Bend in connection with the Eugene burglary, police said he had water soluble morphine with him. Fernandez has been returned to jail in Cleveland. Meanwhile the inquest into the mystery deaths continues, in an effort to deter mine the manner in which the drug had been administered. Plenty of Money Fernandez said the four men had plenty of money but did not give any indication where it came from. He denied any knowl edge of the drugs and said that as far as he knew, the two men who died had no narcotics with them and had taken none during a two-week trip from the West Coast. Galler is extremely close mouthed, according to Sheriff Forrest Sholes, but has not been a problem other than being re luctant to answer questions and refusing to pose for a photographer.

His civilian attorney, George H. Latimer of Salt Lake City, Utah, led him to the side of the courtroom where they talked in low voices. The conversation could not be overheard but Kauffman repeated ly shook his head. Then he was led away through a rear door. As he went out, Latimer called to his escort, "Let him cover his face." Kauffman, a 43-year-old Air Force captain, was convicted Tuesday night on charges of pass ing military data to the Reds, agreeing to work for and be trained by the Communists, con spiracy to provide information, and failure to notify his superiors of his Communist contacts.

He declared his administration harbors no ill-will or hostility to Die companies which unsuccessful ly tried to hike prices last week. Kennedy told his news confer ence that now that "Big Steel" had rescinded the proposed $6-a-ton Increase under heavy govern ment pressure, there was no room for feelings of "vindictiveness" or public recriminations. He said a mistake has been corrected. The President told a questioner. however, that a federal grand jury investigation of the steel in dustryordered during the price boost controversy will continue. Tax Relief On the other hand, he expressed belief that the industry's with drawal of the price increase prob ably has enhanced chances of con gressional approval of a proposed 8 per cent tax credit on some business investment activities. Kennedy's even-toned evaluation of his victory in the steel price clash contrasted sharply with his angry castigation of the industry a week ago in an identical news conference forum. Kennedy and Roger Blough, board chairman of U.S. Steel Corp., met for 45 minutes late Tuesday at the White House. Act ing Press Secretary Andrew Hatcher described the conlerence as "useful and cordial." Tho meeting, first between the two men since U.S. Steel rescind ed its $8 a ton price increase Frf day. was arranged in New York last week. One olticuu said it stemmed from the President's wish to have cordial relations with business. The time and place of the meet' ing were similur to the circunv stances under which Bough not! fied Kennedy of the price rise dur ing a late afternoon call at the White House a week ago Tuesday. No Others Present Like last week's session, Tues day's meeting was not announced in advance. Blough entered the White House by a rear entrance and began his talks with the Pres ident at 8 p.m. hatcher said only the President and steel executive were present Other than to describe Uie dis cussion as cordial and useiui. Hatcher had no comment One of ficial said, however, that Kenne dy sought a "responsible and cordial relationship with business interests." Thore were reports that the Kennedy-Blough talk went beyond the immediate steel situation and dealt to some extent with general price and wage stability. Arrangements lor the wnile House session were made when Labor Secretary Arthur J. Gold berg was In New York last Fri day talking witli U.S. Steel offi cials about rescinding the price increase. He learned that Blough planned to come to Washington this week. From the New York talks came a decision that it would be useful to both sides, government and steel. If Blough met with Uie President while he was here. Meets With Meany Shortly before his conference with Blough, Kennedy met with AFL - CIO President George Meany. But this conversation ap parently was related primarily to railroad labor problems. Meany was accompanied by George Har rison, president of the Railway Clerks Union. The White House reported more than 2,000 telegrams had been re ceived regarding the steel contro versy and they were running five-to-two In favor of the President's Woman reports seeing suspect The search for James A. Man ning, 22, missing member of a trio accused of armed robbery in Salem, intensified last night near Highway 97 south after a woman reported seeing him. An employe at the B C Cafe at tho corner of East Third and Franklin, told police that a man resembling Manning asked direc tions to Nevada. This happened about 9:30 pm. She said the man, who "looked rather rough" and wore a blue jacket and levis, walked off on Highway 97 south. Police searched the area for several hours to no avail. Two others involved in Ihe Sa lem robbery last week were ar rested here. They were Joe Man ning, a brother of James, and James Russell La Spina. position. In Congress Democrats viewed Kennedy's victory as an election bonus. Chairman Vance Hartks, D-Ind., of the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee, said he felt the voters generally applauded the "strong position" taken by the President, Chairman Bob Wilson, R-Calif., of Uie House Republican Campaign Committee, conceded that tiia GOP had been hurt for the mo ment by a Kennedy image build up, but said it would be unfair to contend the price rise was a Republican action. Charges Law Violation Rep. Melvin Laird, R Wis., charged in the House Tuesday that Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara had violated the law last Friday by awarding a $3 mil lion to $6 million armor plate con tract without bidding to a firm that held the steel price line. Laird said tho Navy award to Lukens Steel Co. for 11,000 tons of steel for Polaris submarines was "an absolute violation of the law by the secretary of defense" because there was no competitive bidding. Rep. Gerald Ford. R-Mich., who first brought up Uie award, said he would not charge categorically Uiat Uie law had been violated. Kennedys set week's stay in Florida WASHINGTON (UPI) Presl dent Kennedy planned to leave for Florida today for what he hoped would be an Easter-holiday of about a week, Uie pressures of international affairs, Uie domes tic economy and Congress permit ting.
