U.S. Proposes
Private Talks on
Disarmament
Five-Power Meeting
In March Suggested
United Nations, N.Y. (U.R)
The United States proposed to
day that the five great atomic
powers resume private talks on
disarmament next March.
U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot
Lodge Jr. told the U.N. Disarma
ment Commission that later in
the General Assembly he would
move formally that the subcom
mittee comprising the United
States, Russia, Britain, France
and Canada start a new round
of secret talks. The talks would
begin after the current assembly
session ends.
No Hint of Proposals
He gave no hint of proposals
the United States might be pre
pared to make at such a meeting.
There has been hints leaked out
of Washington concerning new
American disarmament propos
als and at least one delegate,
Yugoslavia's Joza Brilej. said to
day the latest U.S. position was
awaited with interest.
Soviet Ambassador Arkady A.
Sobolcv, who had requested to
day's brief meeting of the 12
nation commission spoke only
four minutes and referred but
passingly to the latest disarma
ment suggestions of Russian Pre
mier Nikolai Bulganin.
The General Assembly was
meeting at the same time to de
bate a proposal by 19 Latin
American countries and Spain to
add two non-permanent seats to
the 11 -member Security Council.
Add New Members
The Assembly added Iraq, Co
lombia and Sweden to the Se
curity Council Wednesday as
the latest of the six non-permanent
members.
The 20 powers sought to break
down Soviet opposition to ex
pansion of the council by pro
posing a charter guarantee of
one non-permanent seat for East
ern Europe.
Demos Won't Get
Vote From Francis
Dayton, Ore. U.R) State
Sen. Carl Francis, Dayton Re
publican, said yesterday he
would answer "no" to a request
that he vote with the Democrats
to organize the evenly-divided
Oregon Senate.
The Yamhill county Demo
cratic Central Committee re
solved Monday night to ask
Francis to vote with the Demo
crats on Senate organization.
"I am sure I would not be re
warded with honor," Francis
said. Asked if he might change
his position before the Legisla
ture meets next month he re
plied "I'm not going to commit
myself. You can't tell what
might happen in a month."
Meanwhile, three Republican
state senators met here yester
day and decided to wait for sug
gestions from the Democrats on
what to do about organizing the
state Senate next month. The
Senate is evenly split with 15
Democrats and 15 Republicans.
The GOP committee of Sens.
Rudie Wilhelm Jr., Howard Bel
ton and Lee Ohmart decided not
to make another offer.

POW Exchange
With Anglo-French
Command Dropped
New Delays Seen
In Canal Opening
London (U.R) Egypt accused
France today of "deporting 156
Egyptian officers and men and
called off a scheduled exchange
of prisoners of war with the
Anglo-French command.
Tlie accusation came amid in
dications of new delays in U.N.
assignment to open the blocked
Suez Canal and get badly needed
oil supplies flowing again to
Western Europe.
Authoritative sources in Cairo
said Israel's refusal to give up
the Gaza Strip may throw a
major block in the negotiations
for clearing the vital waterway.
Postponement of the prisoner
exchange scheduled for today
was announced by an- Egyptian
government official in Cairo.
He said the transfer of troops
captured by both sides in the
recent fighting was called off
"because we have been inform
ed that the French have deported
six Egyptian officers and 150
soldiers." The U.N. Emergency
Force Command was to act as
the intermediary.
Unconfirmed Reports
Reports circulated in Egypt
earlier this week that the
French and British planned to
take Egyptian hostages when
they pulled out of Port Said.
The report said the British
would hold civilian and military
prisoners in reprisal for the kid
naping of a 26-year-old British
lieutenant in Port Said a week
ago. The reports were not con
firmed. France, Britain and Israel
have complained at the U.N.
General Assembly over the al
leged mass deportation and mis
treatment of their nationals by
the Egyptian government.
Eden Party Wins
By Slim Margin
London (U.R) Prime Minister
Anthony Eden's Conservative
party today won a slim victory
in a by-election that was almost
a shaky vote of confidence in
his Suez policy.
Conservative candidate Miss
Mervyn Pike, director of a pot
tery firm, gained a thin majority
of 2.362 votes over opposition
Laborite E. J. Masters in a by
election at Melton Mowbray in
the hunting county of Leicester
shire 100 miles north of London.
The previous Conservative ma
jority was 10,780 votes, but that
was in a general election and
heavy fog cut down the voters
turn out Wednesday to a little
more than 56 per cent of the
electorate.
The Melton Mowbray seat was
left vacant by the resignation of
Minister of State Anthony Nutt
ing, who represented this dis
trict before he walked out of
the government in protest over
Eden's Suez attack.
