S. Ambas sador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., invited Russia today to contrib ute fissionable material to Presi dent Eisenhower's "atoms for peace" pool. Lodge spoke on the eve of a five-nation disarmament confer ence here at which he is the chief U. S. representative. He promised that the United States will "leave no stone un turned to develop an honest dis armament scheme" at the forth coming five-power meeting. Lodge told a press conference he had noted Rusia's Feb. 18 statement that the .people of the world demand establishment now of a system of world-wide cooperation and peaceful use of atomic energy. Gromyko Confers As he spoke, Andrei Gromyko, deputy Soviet foreign minister and chief delegate to the disarm ament conference, conferred with British Minister of State Anthony Nutting. Informed sources said Gromyko outlined Russia's latest disarmament pol icy. The Soviet plan was first broadcast by Moscow Radio last week end, and probably will be considered by the conference to gether with other proposals al ready on the agenda. These included a Franco- British compromise plan on phased" disarmament, or dis armament in easy stages, with effective controls, and a U. S. working paper on controls and an international authority. West ern officials have stated they are prepared to consider alter native proposals which would achieve overall reduction of world disarmaments. . No Optimism President Eisenhower, at his press conference in Washington yesterday, said history affords no great reason for tremendous optimism. Lodge said today "No one is more anxious for international cooperation and peaceful use of atomic energy than President Eisenhower." "Such a system was set up at the last session of the General Assembly by a resolution which received a 60 to - 0 vote," ' he said. He then issued the Ameri can invitation to the Russians to pitch in and cooperate. "I ask :this question," Lodge said. ."Wouldn't it make a won derful impression if the Soviets were to contribute some fission able material to the stockpile being set up subject to that reso lution? It would be a wonderful impression if they would back their statements with some con crete steps which they can well afford to take." NW Congressmen Torn Between Devotion To President or To Reciprocal Trade Program By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent . Washington Pacific North west congressmen were torn last week between devotion to Pres ident Eisenhower or the recipro cal trade program and their de sire to offer protection to a host of regional industries that op posed the president's tariff-cutting trade program. Representatives of many Northwest industries were here trying to enlist votes to modify or kill the trade bill, a feat nearly carried off with help from other regions until Speak er Sam Rayburn and GOP Lead er Joe Martin stood shoulder-to-shoulder to back up a last min ute plea for support from Eisen hower. Rep. Thor Tollefson, Tacoma Republican, spoke for most Northwest industries opposing tariff reductions, telling the House of these regional products in danger: , 1. Tulips, iris and daffo dils "in my district alone are grown some 30,000,000 King Alfred daffodils annu ally more than are grown in all of Holland. But faced with growing imports of for eign flowers, produced at the low-wage rates prevailing there, the growers of the Northwest are facing bank ruptcy." 2. Tuna, salmon and hali but "there are several thousand ships and an estimat ed 20,000 or more fishermen employed directly in the tak ing of these fish . . . and yet with imports from Japan and South America growing at an alarming rate, 'these American ships will be driven from the seas and the American factor ies closed up unless relief is granted soon." 3. Red raspberries "im ports of cheaply produced red raspberries from aboard are be ginning to threaten red rasp berry growers in my district." 4. Hardboard "six of the nine domestic producers of this vital national-defense item are located in Washington or Oregon . . . vastly increased imports have already had a serious impact on the domes tic industry. One producer has been forced to lay off McLeod Marilyn Monroe To Ride Pink Elephant in Parade New -York i(U.R) If you're in New York next month you may see Marilyn Monroe riding a pink elephant and you'll still be sober.

Instructor Slays Army Officer as Climax To Feud Wichita Falls, Tex. (U.R) A civilian instructor in intelligence training today faced charges of murdering a lieutenant colonel and wounding a captain in a flurry of gunfire that ended long standing disagreement. William Francis Sink, 38, in structor at Sheppard Air Force Base, was charged with the shooting. A volley of shots killed Lt Col. Carl G. Carlson, 43, Spo kane, and critically wounded Capt. Marvin L. Marchesi, 34, Los Angeles, - yesterday in the colonel's office. Sheppard authorities believed the six shots fired at the officers climaxed a disagreement among the three men when they were stationed at Lowry Air Force Base at Denver. Trouble in Past Carlson was director of intelli gence training at Sheppard, while Marchesi was attached to the same outfit. Sheppard information officers said Sink was known to have had trouble in the past with several military men at Lowry and was moved to different jobs from time to time. Carlson was shot in the head several times. Marchesi also was hit in the head at close range and was reported today in ser ious condition. A brain surgeon was flown from Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, to operate on Marchesi. Two Pistols Used - Lt. Billy Rector of the Shep pard Information Service office said he knew nothing about earlier reports that the colonel was handing Sink his discharge papers when the shooting took place. The Air Force said the shots were fired from two pistols as the three men conferred in Carl son's office. Sink, who has two sons and lives in Wichita Falls, was held today without bond in Wichita county jail. One' Sheppard spokesman quoted Sink as saying after the shooting: "I did what I wanted to." ; ' But Rector said he had no re port of Sink's making any state ment and referred all questions to the tight-lipped FBI. more than 350 employees: an other reports production cut backs of 50 per cent." 5. Plywood "this import- ! ant industry, likewise, is suf ering from a lack of adequate protection, and plywood made in Japan at wage rates drasti cally below those of our own workers is now coming into this country in greater and greater volume." 6. Tree nuts, including fil berts "The nut industry has consistently sought (tar iff) relief ... but this relief has just as consistently been denied them." Wool growers and cherry growers of the Northwest also opposed the trade bill. Tollefson was joined by two Oregon Republicans, Reps. Har ris Ellsworth and Sam Coon, in voting for the motion to send the bill back to committee with in structions to revise it so that (1) the Tariff commission would have to cancel tariff cuts if an industry showed it was threaten ed by foreign competition; and (2) the president could not, as now, set duties independently of the commission's recommendations. Eisenhower openly opposed this move by sending Joe Martin I a letter to read to the House. Supporting the president were Republican Rep. Walter Nor blad and Democratic Rep. Edith Green, who favored the presi dent's plan to negotiate with U.S. allies for gradually reduced trade barriers over the next three years. While many lawmakers dupli cated Tollefson's plea for indus tries in their own areas, they were countered with arguments from others favoring more trade who pointed out that trade is a two-way street in the sense that every American dollar used to buy foreign imports is then sub sequently used by the foreigner to purchase American goods in return. In short, the Americans who buy imported daffodils or rasp berries are supplying U. S. dol lars to foreigners who must then use them to purchase" American wheat, apples or Douglas fir and other U. S.- products that are seeking new world markets. 'Good and Dutiful' Wife Files Suit for Divorce Tulsa, Okla. i(U.R) Mrs. Rob ert A.
