MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1956
J Defense Secretary Charles E.
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.

Ellsworth that "I would not in
any way try to block his con
firmation by the Senate." Neu

Democratic senior senator, that
he also would do nothing to
"prevent him from gaining the
governmental post that he

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

Wyck Brooks. Truman Capote,
Bennett Cerf. Henry Steel Ecom
