o s Disarmament Planning Viewed As Top Good News During Week By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent The week's good and bad news on the international balance sheet: The Good 1. The United States submit ted two important news pro posals to Soviet Russia in an at tempt to get the great powers started toward an agreement on disarmament. First it suggested that the United States and Rus sia each open up an area of 20,000 to 30,000 square miles of their respective territories for a test of arms control survey. Secondly, it proposed that the United States and Russia cut their military man power to 2,500,000 men each. The propos als were made at a meeting of a United Nations Disarmament Subcommittee in London. The second, more sweeping one, would involve a corresponding cut in arms and arms spending. 2.. It became increasingly ap parentothat the job of debunking Josef Stalin as a Communist saint would incline the Kremlin for quite a while to devote -more attention to its own problems, and in proportion " to put less emphasis on its meddling in those of other countries. Tens of thousands of Communist agita tors ranged throughout the Sov iet Union explaining the "why" of the debunking to the people. But Moscow dispatches told of confusion in Russian minds. One question the people asked a question to which- the Kremlin leaders had no answer was: Where were you while the man was committing all his -crimes? ' 3. France, long beset by in ternal crises, received a hearten ing assjt from the United States. Ambassador C. Douglas Dillon astonished his hearers when he said in a speech in Paris that the . United States stood solidly behind France in its attempt to solve its North African problems by carrying out a liberal inde pendence policy in Algeria. Tunisia and Morocco. Premier Guy Mollet warmly expressed his government's thanks. The Bad 1. The fear that any chance spark might set off an explosion "Between the Arab nations and Israel intensified steadily. Presi-J dent Eisenhower warned that a major war in the Middle East would be "a catastrophe to the world." The United States asked the United Nations to authorize Secretary General Dag Ham marskjold to try to negotiate a settlement of the Palestine dis pute which is the cause of the . tension. It was reported that Great Britain had prepared a plan for instant military action by the Allied powers against any country which made the first at tack. There was another report, from Washington, that President Eisenhower might ask Congress for "stand-by" authority to use American troops in any emer gency. 2. The violence in Cyprus by extremists who demand that Britain grant them "self-determination" as step toward union with Greece assumed the pro portions of an open revolt. Is landers who opposed violence were cowed by threats of death. :The extremist answer to a Brit ish crack-down was to plant a time bomb in the bed of Lren. Sir John Harding, governor and commander-in-chief. 3. Prime Minister Jawharlal Nehru of India let loose a blast against United States policies which made it plain there was almost no hope at present of improving relations between this country and India. Nehru had nothing but condemnation for American defense policies, and implied approval of the policies of Communist China. He wants the Reds to be given the off shore islands held by the Nationalists.

Enthusiastic applause was given to many local people who displayed their talents on this occasion. Al Bird, who came up from Los Angeles for this event, played an encore on his drums.

From Nevada, the Winninghams traveled to California, via Donner Pass.

When asked why she didn't go hunting, Mrs. Bert Harr, who has the Squaw Lake fishing re sort, replied, "When men are mistaken for deer, it's time to quit hunting. At least men have never been mistaken for fish."
