FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, February 8, 1956 Eisenhower To Work To Prevent Outbreak of War in Middle East Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower declared today that he will do everything within his constitutional powers to prevent an outbreak of hostilities in the Middlle East. : . Mr. Eisenhower also told his news conference there is al ways a faint hope that his cor respondence with Soviet Pre mier NikolaBulganin may de velop something of peace value. This possibility exists, the President said, as long as his ex changes with Bulganin are what he described as non-bitter. . The President's determination to do everything possible to avert further conflict in the Mid dle East .was expressed when a reporter asked him for an "assessment" of stopping or avoiding conflict as . a result of his talks with British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden. Diplomats Meet , The President noted that U.S., British and French diplomats will meet at the State Depart ment this afternoon to deter mine what measures can be ta ken in the Middle East either inside or outside the United Nations. Mr.' Eisenhower then said that everything he could do con stitutionally to prevent an out break of hostilities in the Mid dle East would be done.- - He did not elaborate, ,but ' some observers believer that he thus left the way open for strong action, "'. apparently in cluding military force if neces sary. There have been unconfirmed reports that the administration might ask' Congress for standby authority to use force in the Middle East Arab-Israeli crisis. But this possibility is not under active consideration at this time. Russian Proposal Administration officials said" earlier that the U. S., British and French diplomats meeting this afternoon will consider quick use of U.N. machinery and pos sible military and economic sanctions to counter any large scale hostilities in the Arab-Israeli dispute. In his first letter, Jan. 23, Bul ganin proposed a 20-year non aggression pact with the United States to promote peace. Mr. Eisenhower politely but firmly Prineville Creates Post Of City Superintendent Prineville (U.R) Prineville will hire a city superintendent as the result of a special city council meeting at which the post was created. Mayor. Dick McRae named a three-man committee to inter view applicants for the job which will be concerned with sewer and street activities. Postponement Granted In Ex-Policeman's Case Portland (U.R) An eight- day postponement of trial was granted today to Orville Quincy Mitchell, a 32-year-old Portland er accused of drawing a $600 check without sufficient funds. ' Mitchell, for a brief time, chief of police at Sweet Home, was granted the time to find an attorney. . Police said Mitchell also has been accused of bilking an Os wego, Ore., woman out 'of $53,-000.. rejected the proposal in a letter Jan. 28. He said such a pact would be worth no more than "a stroke of a pen" unless Russia proves its peaceful intentions by deeds, not words. In his second letter, last week, Bulganin renewed his plea for the non-aggression pact and said Russia would be willing to sign similar agreements with Britain and France. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles yesterday branded this a propaganda ges ture and said this country would be in no hurry to reply. Avenues Toward Peace Despite Russia's past records of treaty breaking and the like, the President said we must never stand in the position of blocking any tiny or tortuous avenue to ward peace. . Eden-had noted last week in brushing aside Bulganin's sug gestion . for a 20-year non-ag gression pact with Britain that Russia had denounced a similar treaty only last year. Today's Middle Eastern talks grew out of the recent confer ence between Mr. Eisenhower and British Prime Minister An thony Eden. The two leaders called the lower-level diplomat ic conference with France. Mr. Eisenhower and Eden also an nounced they would "favorably consider" any moves to increase the number of truce guards be tween Israel and the Arab states. Officials said the Allied dip lomats would block out possible courses of action "in event any thing big happens in the Middle East." They will consider over the next few weeks what mili tary forces might be used if necessary, including the U. S. Sixth Fleet. . . . Student PHones Bulganin For Advice On Term Paper Barrington, 111. (U.R) Charles Mee, 17, a high school senior,' decided to get some ad vice direct from Soviet Premier Nikolai A. Bulganin before he wrote a class term paper. He placed a telephone call to the Kremlin. And V&Vi hours later, at a cost of $15, Mee had asked one question for his term paper, got an "I don't know an swer," and said goodbye. "I couldn't think of anything else to say," Mee said today. But he at least had satisfac tion of talking to the top man in Russia he thinks. Friends Urged Him Three friends of Mee, Royal Hartwig, Stephen Hoffman, and James Condill, all 18, of Bar rington, urged him to make the call as they discussed Mee's term paper Monday night. They .put in the call and yes terday, 13V2 hours later, the call went through. - The long distance operator as sured Mee that Bulganin was on the wire. Mee was assured by the voice at the other end that he was speaking to the Premier. "I would like to ask you a question," Mee said. "I hope you will be able to answer." "I will try," he was told. Questions Next Move "Since the Russian draft of a treaty of friendship has been refused by the United States, what will be the next move on the part of the Kremlin will another attempt be made along this line?" Mee asked. "No, no I don't know," was -the reply. Static disrupted further, at tempts at 'conversation. Then Mee said "das-vi-dany." Mee said his history teacher told him that is Russian for "goodbye." Mee said he heard a chuckle at the other end of the line. Episcopal Coadjutor Observes Communion Portland (U.R) The Rt. Rev.
