Newspaper Page Texto jU.S. Willing To Set Up European i Nuclear Stockpile : Wasflngton Iff) The United I States is willing to set up a ! nuclear arms stockpile in Eu- rope for its North Atlantic Treaty allies. I It plans to make the offer at - the forthcoming meeting of ; Western allies in Pari The : meeting will be attended by : resident Eisenhower and other ; chlefs-of-governr4nt. ; Under tentative thinking, the weapons would be placed under ; the jurisdiction of Gen. Lauris : Norstad, who has the dual role - of commanding both U. S. forces - in Europe and NATO forces. By this handling, the adminis ; tration believes, there would be t no violation of a congressional ; act forbidding the turn-over of U. S. nuclear weapons to foreign rations in peacetime. In case all-out war developed, the weapons would be close to NATO allies and President Ei senhower presumably would order them distributed to NATO forces immediately. The idea of a NATO nuclear stockpile and other thoughts for strengthening the Atlantic alli ance were discussed Wednesday at an extraordinary meeting of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and several former Tru man administration officials who worked on NATO matters. One conferee was Paul H. Nitze, director of the State De partment's policy planning staff under Dean Acheson, and an other was Frank Pace Jr., Army secretary during part of Presi dent Truman's administration. Dulles invited the group to the conference because he want ed a "fresh approach" to the problem of strengthening NATO. He hoped to get help from per ." sons outside government who are not bogged down by day to day details of government opera tions. TIIE iUHSE OF lUi!lISL7TElUn WILL I1MII1T YOU c Mm TOFIITE! I !.

Pruning of Pear Trees to Start Pear tree pruning should be started as soon as heavy foliage starts thinning, according to C. B. Cordy, county horticulture agent. Some young growth should be left until it has produced, Cordy said. D' Anjou pear trees should be pruned heavily to get a good crop of fruit next season, he said. Branches set heavily with spurs should be cut out to re lieve drain on the tree vitality. It also permits a higher percent age of blossom set, he said. When there are an abundance of branches with spurs, branches 5, 6 and 7 years old which are more heavily spurred should be pruned, Cordy said. Branches with spurs, 2, 3, and 4 years old should be left, he said. Other pear varieties are not such a problem, Cordy said. Bartletts are pruned directly to remove the more heavily spurred older branches. Younger branches with spurs are" left. For the Cornice, the more heavily spurred older branches should be removed. Since the Cornice bears fruit on alternate years, young growth should be left for four years, the same as for the D'Anjous and Bartletts, Cordy said. Spurs on all the old er branches should be cut off, he added. , OD n - - BY 1j i .. ' w.-, 'I'DAY urC;:'- L.'. N. . - f -..r V.ITY CITY.

Before-curtain skits Include one by Angus Bowmer and Rich ard Graham of the Oregon Shakespearean festival who ab andon traditional Shakespeare for a brief comedy routine in which they sing and dance. The show is enlivened with considerable use of fluorescent colors for costumes under black light, with spectacular effects.
