Wilson promised the other 14 nations in the alliance the mod ern weapons and technical data to help develop their own "dual capacity" arsenals. The promise did not commit President Eisenhower's adminis tration to seek a change in the U.S. atomic security law which 'forbids sharing of atomic weap ons or secrets because the United States will deliver no "atomic elemenes" to its allies, the spokes- ma said. Wilson told his NATO col leagues the United States was prepared to make available promrIy certain modern weap cms and equipment along with technical data- necessary for their maintenance and operation. U.S. troops in West Germany already arj equipped with such "dual capacity" weapons, includ ing two squadrons of Matador guided missiles, "Honest John" rockets and 36 "Atomic Annie" cannon.

U. S. Ready To Make Concessions On Disarmament Washington (U.R) The United States is ready to make major concessions in a new bid for an agreement with Russia on disarmament. Informed sources said Presi dent Eisenhower has approved significant changes in this coun try's position on arms control and reduction. 1. The United States is willing for the first time to accept some limitation on development of both intermediate and long range missiles, including the yet to be perfected intercontinental bal listics missile, the so-called "ulti mate weapon." That is, if Russia agrees to open it territory to ground and aerial inspection by disarmament observers. Would Suspend Tests 2. The United States is willing, also for the first time, to sus pend hydrogen bomb tests, but again provided only that Russia agrees to disarmament inspection and also to other provisions of the U. S. plan. 3. The United States is ready to relax its insistence that Russia accept full aerial inspection be fore agreement on other phases of disarmamnt can proceed. It is doing so because Russia has now accepted partial aerial in pection. The United States now will shift its major emphasis to ground inspection, an inspection plan Russia has insisted on. 4. This country also is willing to begin reducing its military manpower to an agreed level at the same time that the arms in spection system goes into effect. Previously it insisted that there be arms inspection before pro ceeding with manpower cuts. with him were in the realm of politics and not in any way per sonal." The Senator said he also told Ellsworth that "I would not in any way try to block his con firmation by the Senate." Neu berger said he had been assured by Sen. Wayne Morse, Oregon's Democratic senior senator, that he also would do nothing to "prevent him from gaining the governmental post that he seeks." c 'r'ce 10c United Press Full Leased Wire No. 228 Eisenhower Urged To Take Initiative For Mideast Peace Appeasement Policy End Asked by Group Washington (U.R) Artistic, literary and professional leaders have urged President Eisen hower to "take the initiative in compelling" Israel and the Arab nations to negotiate a Middle East peace settlement. In a letter to Mr. Eisenhower, the group called for an end of what is termed the "appease ment policy" of the United States toward Arab states. Nothing Said Done It said the policy has done nothing except to demonstrate its futility, neither winning the friendship of the Arab world nor keeping the Communists away. News analyst Elmer Davis re leased the letter Thursday. The group criticized as "peril ous the temptation of the United States "to go it alone" in the area. It said a break in the Eastern alliance would only move Russia to "greater daring." Hop for Peace In proposing direct negotia tions between the Arabs and Israelis the group stated that 'peace worked out by the parties themselves brought together by the United Nations, not imposed by force foreign to the region and its problems" constituted the only hope of an enduring settle ment of the conflict. ' "The U.N. charter that has been used to flog Israel in recent weeks, should be used to compel the Arabs to negotiate peace," the letter said. In exchange for a peace set tlement, the group proposed a "large scale regional develop ment under the auspices of the United Nations . . . financed largely by the United States." Statement Asked Preliminary to announcement of such a plan, the group urged Mr. Eisenhower to "state openly and forcefully" that: "1. Israel is here to stay. "2. The United States is pre pared to guarantee the states against aggression. "3. Freedom of passage through the Suez Canal by ships of all countries, including Israel, must be internationally guaran teed." The group included Herbert Asbury. Ray Bradbury, Van Wyck Brooks. Truman Capote, Bennett Cerf. Henry Steel Ecom magcr, Mrs. Clarence Day, Ba bette Deutsch, Edna Ferber, Lewis Gannett, Wolcott Gibbs, Leopold Godowsky Jr.. Martha Graham. Josephone Herbst.
