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.

Twenty-two local women at- i
tended the belated third birth- j
day party of the Little Apple- i
gate Knitting club at the home
of Mrs. Otis Buck. Cakes baked
for this occasion were made by
Mrs. Harry Davis, Mrs. Rolland
Smith, and the hostess. The
meeting was opened by prayer
and a hymn was sung in honor
of Miss Molly Ray and Mrs. Lee
Port, who are club members but
were absent due to illness. Sev
eral familiar telephone voices
were transformed into human
forms as this correspondent met
many friends for the first time.
The next meeting will be held at

son of Upper Applegate, on
April 17.
Mrs. V. E." Taylor's sister and
husband, Mr. and Mrs. A. L.
Hooper of Portland, and their
three children came for a week's
visit at the Taylor residence.
The Taylor's daughter, Miss Bar
bara Taylor, came for a week
end visit from Portland.
Mr. and Mrs. David B. Win
ningham and their three child
ren, John, Jerry, and Dianne,
took a trip south during the
spring vacation week, visiting
Shasta Dam, Mojave desert, pet
rified forest, Painted Desert,
Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam,
Death Valley and Death Valley
Scotty's Castle. From Nevada,
the Winninghams traveled to
California, via Donner Pass.
Mrs. Winningham remarked
how the roadside snow on Don
ner Pass realistically brought to
mind the early pioneers' predica
ment when they were snow
blocked, and their food supplies
ran out. They also stopped at
Timbuctoo, Calif., and then on
home. The trip ended with Mrs.
Winningham contracting the
measles.
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."
On second thought, Mrs. Harr
retracted her last statement, and
told of an incident at the lake
when a man, who apparently
had his mouth open, was acci
dentally hooked . on his lower
lip by another fisherman who
was fly fishing. '
