FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Monday, December 16, 1937 in Suspicious and Resentful Mood at Conference A A , lies 3 North Atlantic Ai 4 Eisenhower Has Difficulty With Words in Paris (IP) President Eisen hower showed some difficulty in pronouncing certain words today in his 18-minute speech at the opening session of the NATO council. Th difficulty was not serious but there were at least 10 noticeable mispronunciations. The President did not seem at all disturbed by the situation. On Nov. 25 Eisenhower suf fered a cerebral occlusion in Washington due to either a clot or a spasm in one of the smaller blood vessels of the brain. Difficulty Result One of the after-effects of the Illness was a slight difficulty in selecting or pronouncing certain words. In dozens of speeches even be-fore-.this most recent illness the President also frequently stum bled on words and repeated or reworded some phrases. Speech He spoke vigorously today, seated at a large table with the heads of the other 14 NATO nations. But he got genuinely tangled up on the word "abhorrent" and smiled fleetingly as he finally abandoned the word after two tries and proceeded with his ad dress. No Great Significance He also had what seemed to be difficulty in pronouncing the words "assumption . . . dictate . . . inevitable . . . decay . . . irresistible." Some Americans here for the conference and familiar with Ei senhower's pre-illness manner of speech attached no great signifi cance to most of the mispronoun ciations and stumbles today. On the contrary, they were im pressed by the force with which the chief executive spoke. ' ' t Wcairscflw Treaty Forces Cause Worry '12th Night' Kept Moving To Meet TV Requirements; 'Lively Arts' Called Bosh By WILLIAM EWALD United Press Correspondent New York 'IP) Rule No. 1 in television is keep things mov ing. Keep that picture stirred or your viewer may desert to an other channel. So, when you're faced with Shakespeare and the awful thought that your audience may drop off, why, you stir and stir and stir. Sunday Maurice Evans and Co. stirred like crazy in an NBC-TV production of "Twelfth Night." It was a visual romp a pink and violet "Twelfth Night," a dream Illyeria complete with midgets, footmen dressed in monkey heads, attendants dressed like unicorns, jolly peo ple who hung from trees and a Malvolio who spoke in a cock ney accent and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Inevitably in this kind of thing, Shakespeare's strength his verbal magic is sloughed off. And what is left is a kind of sugar-coated, rating -happy, Shakespeare; a Shakespeare for all those people who have been scared off the playwright by their schoolmarms. But I suppose TV really has no choice in ttoe matter and this sort of marshmallowing is in evitable. And it is only fair to .my that "Twenlfth Night" was mounted stunningly particu- Urly the scene in which Malvo lio ( taunted. One further note of praise for Dennis King (Sir Toby) and Max Adrian (Sir Andrew) both of them real pros. Sunday. CBS-TV's "Seven Lively Arts" presented a one hour film, "Here is New York," based on an article by E. B. "White. Jt; was a well-photographed cliche. There is an irritating tenden cy to romanticize New York. Artuf the common attitude among too many writers is to approach the city with a half eye and a smug posture and bel low: New York is some pump kins and ain't you sorry your city isn't? Well, of course, that's non sense. It's part of the myth of New York, a myth compounded of arrogance, self-deception and gush. "Here is New York," packed the smug attitude and it also packed all of the Baghdad-on-the Hudson stereotypes. Thus: Greenwich Village is a place where the young dabble in Bo hemian life, the Statue of Liber ty is the landmark that New Yorkers never visit, the poor who live in the tenements that line Mulberry st. are a pictur esque folk who hold street fes tivals where everybody lives it up eating pizzas and zeppoli. Is there any seat in the city? Sure, over at Stillman's gym. Color? Sure, look at this shot of a street singer serenading people outside this theatre. And wasn't it lucky our camera just happened to be there? Is there anything wrong with this city? Sure, look at these bums on the Bowery (cliche of cliches) look at traffic snarl and oh, the climate is filthy, but these are all kind of funny and wonderful and all go into the making of New York, this rid dle of steel and stone, this unique town. Bosh.

DYKE'S FL00RC0VERH1G 227 East 6th OPEN MONDAY NIGHTS Grievances Range Over Wide Arc of Vorld Problems Paris OF The United States' North Atlantic allies are in a suspicious and resentful mood toward the United States at this Paris summit conference. Their grivances range over the whole gamut of world pro blems ownership of the atom bomb, sharing of nuclear secrets, missile production, closer politi cal and economic ties inside the Alliance, Algeria, Cyprus and the Russian Sputnik. Nearly every country has its own complaints and misgivings to bring to the conference table. The U.S. delegation's work will be cut out for it to pacify them and weld the alliance into a harmonious working partner ship again, all within the space of three days. Here, in brief, is what each of the main European NATO coun tries hopes to achieve at the con ference. Great Britain: She resents the United States continued refusal to share nuclear secrets. She will press the U. S. again to make them available to her on a share-and-share-alike basis. In return, she will offer her experience in H-bomb production, which she claims she can do cheaper and more "cleanly" than the U. S. Britain Wants Agreement Britain wants an early agree ment on principles under which tactical nuclear weapons will be available to her and the other NATO countries. She also wants a definite say in the use of nu clear weapons and missiles from her soil, particularly U. S. stra tegic bombers and rocket outfits. Britain also will call for closer cooperation in the development and production of weapons and increased pooling of technical knowhow. If this had existed five years ago, she believes Russia might not have won the Sputnik race. France: Her worries and griev ances are many. They range from Algeria to inflation. She will point out that the Algerian war is costing her a for tune annually, and is pinning down 400.000 of her young men. She will demand continued support from the U. S., Britain and other NATO partners for her Algerian policy. In this connec tion she again will seek assurance against such incidents as the sup ply of arms to Tunisia without consulting her. France Suspicious Another French sore point is what she considers Anglo-American "domination" of armaments inside the alliance. She is suspi cious that the U. S. and Britain are seeking to "dominate" the alliance and to prevent her man ufacturing or even possessing the nuclear weapons to which she believes she is entitled. Like Britain, she also wants guarantees that she will have a say in launching of medium range missiles if these are sta tioned on her soil. Like Britain, she also will call for sharing of scientific secrets and know-how. West Germany: The Bonn Re public also -is reluctant to have nuclear rockets stationed on her territories. West Germany be lieves that she, too, has scien tific know-how she could con tribute to the alliance pro vided others share theirs too. One of her chief aims will be to get renewed pledges that the U. S. will continue to maintain troops in Germany as long as the Cold War lasts. She will press, too, for closer political, economic and scientific cooperation inside NATO. Italy: Still plagued by eco nomic depression and unemploy ment, her chief concern is de velopment of NATO in the politi cal and economic fields. Because of her overpopulation, lack of natural resources and need for foreign capital, she will plug hard for closer political and eco nomic integration with her weal thier neighbors. Italy Wants 'Economic Center' Italy also is pushing a plan for tilt nations of Europe, the Middle East and Mediterranean to set up an "economic center" for training technicians and plan ning administration of foreign aid. The Netherlands: For the past two weeks her eyes have been directed almost exclusively to the Indonesian crisis. The Neth erlands government already has sought to enlist NATO interest in this at a special session of NATO's Permanent Council. It may attempt to do so again at EMERGENCY - NUMBERS FIRE SP 2-2333 POLICE SP 3-3636 MONEY SP 3-5308 London (W Russia's rocket successes may be the West's main headache at the NATO summit meeting. But behind them are the equally ominous 6,000.000 men in the Commu nist Warsaw treaty pact. On the earthly side of the ex treme of Soviet "Sputnik" and alleged ICBM triumphs are the tough soldiers of the Red army, and the armies of the European satellite countries. Soviet Marshal Ivan Koniev commands the armed forces of Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslova- the summit meeting. The Dutch are increasingly in dignant over U. S. neutrality in this question. They are anxious to get the U. S. and other NATO members to support them in their dispute with Indonesia. Belgium: Like Britain, she is interested in promoting greater poltical and economic interde pendence inside the alliance. Denmark: She has only a tiny defense force and one of the most exposed strategic positions of any of the NATO countries. She has flatly refused nuclear weapons and has deep misgivings about allowing medium-range missiles to be based on her terri tory. Norway: She also wants closer poltical and economic coopera tion between NATO members. She believes this could prevent recurrence of such incidents as Suez and the Tunisian arms quarrel which rocked NATO to its foundation. Portugal: She is still another country which will press for closer political cooperation to head off possible NATO crises in advance. Portugal also wants the small er NATO powers to have more say in running the alliance. Greece and Turkey: Both may bring up the Cyprus issue on which relations between Greece and Britain are severely strained. kia. East Germany, Hungary, Poland and Romania, and each of them makes a substantial contribution to the threat to the WTest on land, sea and air. And the Communists have an added advantage in that the proportion of fighting men in their services, as differentiated from "chair-borne" and logistic forces, is far higher than in the Western armies. Red Army Proven During World War II the Red Army men showed their tough ness. They would march all day or lie all day in snow under arctic conditions to be able to crawl up on the enemy at night. And then they would still fight. They have no glittering post exchanges, no recreational trans port, no sheets on their beds, and no exotic messes. To them, even spam would be luxurious fare. Allied intelligence officers es timate the Red army has 175 divisions ready for action, and could muster 400 more within a month after a war broke out. The Soviet spearhead is in Eastern Germany, where the Red army has about 22 divi sions, most of them armored or mechanized. Soviet plane designers have given the Red Air Force some of the best jets in the world. When the MIG-15 jet fighter was brought into squadron serv ice in 1949, many allied experts considered it the finest fighting plane of its type in the world. MIGs Up to Date Since then MIG development has kept pace with British and American planes with newer versions such as the MIG-17 and MIG-19. The Red Air Force has three main bombers, known in the West by the code names "Bad ger," "Bison" and "Bear." The first two are twin and four jet planes, respectively, and the lat ter is a four prop-jet bomber. Of the more than 20,000 planes allied intelligence offi cers estimate the Red Air Force can call on, most are jets. The Soviet Navy has more than 450 submarines in serv ice the biggest undersea fleet in the world and is reliably building over 100 a year. New sub models are long range and equipped to fire mis siles with nuclear warheads. Behind this formidable force Spaceship Program Planned By U.S. Denver, Colo. (IP) Gen. Thomas D. White, Air Force Chief of Staff, said Saturday the United States is working on a spaceship program that will car ry man on "routine" flights to nearby planets "in a very few years." He said a manned spaceship, the X-15, is "now in the works" that will blast man farther and faster into space than he has ever been before. ine next step, ne said, "is the Air Force program to fly at hypersonic speeds, circumnavi gating the globe many times be fore re-entry into the earth's at mosphere." He said this "weapon system program" would represent the "first major breakthrough in sustained piloted space flight" and clear the way for placing man "either on a continuous or bit around the earth or send him soaring into outer space to near by planets." The top Air Force officer in a speech at the Air Force Aca demy, told students that they and "men like you . . . will trav el in space." are the troops of the satellite of some of them is doubtful, countries, trained on the Soviet they still make up a potent ai model although the reliability set.
