Rapacki Plan Seen Step To Ease Russian Troops Out of Poland Editor's note: In the diplomatic backrooms where policy is aired before East-West conferences, U.N. sessions and foreign affairs debates, the words "Rapacki Plan" are much beard these days. Some ex perts believe this plan of Poland's foreign minister may yet form a basis of a Mart toward disarmament on both sides of the Iron Curtain. A veteran foreign correspondent analyzes it In the following dis. patch. By WELLINGTON LONG UPI Correspondent Bonn, Germany - (LTD - The proposal, by Polish Foreign Minister Adam Rapacki for neutralizing Central Europe militarily may be an attempt to ease Soviet troops out of Poland. So believe West German and other diplomats who have t u d ied carefully Rapacki's previous plan of a year ago, and the latest plan made pub lic in Warsaw. Pope io Observe 77th Birthday .. Vatican City - (UPD - Pope John XXIII's 77th birthday Tuesday will be a holiday for most residents of this tiny "city state," b,ut for the Pon tiff himself it will be just another working day. It will be distinguished mainly by the fact that it will be one of the few days in the month since the new Pope's election on which no major ceremonial is planned. The anniversary of the Pope's birth comes four weeks to the day after his election as "supreme pastor" of the world's 'half -billion Roman Catholics and three weeks after his coronation. Over the week end, Pope John took formal possession of the Basilica of St. John in Lateran and paid a visit to the Basilica of St. Clement, named for a lst-century Pope who lived on what is now its site. Rapacki's latest proposals call for great -nation agree ment that no army in Central Europe not already equipped with atomic weapons shall re ceive them in future. Atomic strength on either side, the Poles reason, thus would be stabilized. Thereafter, his plan fore sees discussion and eventual agreement to reduce both the exist ing conventional and atomic forces in Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia. Proposes Atomic Ban The Polish Foreign minis ter's original plan, as publish ed, called for simple agree ment that no atomic weapons be on the ground in Germany, Poland or Czechoslovakia. No mention then was made of conventional weapons or forces. It was this omission that caused most Western powers to reject the first Rapacki scheme out of hand. It would have left the Soviets, with their armies massed in East Germany and Poland, with a great superiority of force over the U. S. forces in Europe, whose strength de7 pends to a great extent on their atomic weapons rather than on numbers of men and conventional weapons. But Rapacki's newest plan, at first glance, pretty well meets this criticism. West Germans who still op pose it now say the chief dif ficulty is that it does not attack the key problem of Central Europe, which in the continuing division of Ger many into two states, one free, one Communist. -Better Reaction Noted Nevertheless, the reaction here to the newest version of the Rapacki plan has been much less violent than it was to his first scheme. ,For one thing, many diplo mats here are convinced that Rapacki is not just a tool of the Moscow Communist boss es, but really is trying to con duct an independent foreign policy. Poland's chief difficulty, and the most delicate part of Poland's relations with the Soviet union, is the continu ing presence of Soviet troops in Poland itself, and to Po land's west in East Germany. This bulk presence seriously restricts Polish sovereignty. IT LEAVES YOU BREATHLESS! Most of the heat that the earth gets from the sun hits the equatorial regions.
