Secretary of State John Foster Dulles said today the United States may pro pose to Russia an "open slues" aerial inspection plan covering Siberia and Alaska. In discussing the possibility of Siberia and Alaska as a limit ed disarmament test area, Dulles said this is the kind of area that might provide launching sites in an atomic war. Dulles did not rule out the possibility that a test disarma ment inspection zone might also be worked out in part of Eur ope. But he told a news confer ence that the problems there are much greater because they in volve German unification and other political problems. Position Not Reached Dulles emphasized that the U.S. has not yet reached an agreed government position -on the' aerial inspection zones it will propose in further negotia tions with the Soviet Union in London. He said those talks have been considering a whole host of proposals and may now be at the stage where it is advis able for U.S. disarmament nego tiator Harold E. Stassen to re turn to Washington for consulta tions. Dulles said that the Russians at long last seem to have agreed with the U.S. that aerial inspec tion is essential in getting dis armament going. He said the question now is: In what zone should the test area be started. Mailmen To Use Motorized Cart Washington (W Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield will put all 27 mailmen in nearby Bethesda, Md., Wednesday aboard motorized 'three -wheel Mailsters costing almost $1,000 a piece. Postal officials, plagued by congressional budget-cutting and demands for economy, declined to say whether the gadgets will cost or save the taxpayers money in the lone run. A Post Office Department of ficial spokesman, asked about possible savings, told. a reporter, "Presumably we will be- pinned down to a point where we will haye to show some savings." He noted the news release about the Mailsters said they are expected tp provide "more economic serv ice." The Post Office said altogether it has 1.500 Mailsters on order. That would be a total cost of close to $1,500,000. Apart from cost, the Mailsters apparently are the answer to the tired postman's dream. ,.-. The three-wheeled vehicle is protected from the weather, has an enclosed carrying area in the rear and is fully equipped with electrical starter, directional sig nals and a 7V2-horsepower motor. ley, Calif.; Mrs. Waitselle Ten penny, Phoenix, Ore.: Mrs. Leo Zimmerman, Talent, Ore.; and Mrs. Gerald Riddell, Medford; a brother, Arthur Cooper, Eu gene, Ore.; two sisters, Mrs. Myrtle Lawrence, Hutchinson, Kan.; and Mrs. Mae Lantis, Franklin, Neb.; and 25 grand children.

However, the U.S. promised that the tests will be carried out with utmost safety.

The U.S. said "history has re peatedly demonstrated that one sided weakness leads to war." The. U.S. position was out lined Monday night in a note handed the- Japanese Embassy several hours after the Atomic Energy commission issued a statement emphasizing that the Nevada tests will produce less radioactvie fallout than any do mestic test series since 1952.

The recommendations were submitted to Teamsters Vice President Einar Mohn and, these sources said, are probably be ing considered by Mohn and four other vice presidents at a meeting here today. Tony Smith of the public re lations advisers said they made "specific recommendations of what we feel is best for the un ion from a' public relations stand point." He would not confirm. any details. Not Backed Down ' The recommendations call for Beck to "step aside" until the charges against him and disclos ures by the Senate Rackets com mittee are disposed of or "set tled, one- way or the other," the sources said. So far Beck has not backed down from his announced in tention to run for reelection at the union's September conveu tion.
