Surprise Attack
Plan Discussed
At Moscow Parley
Rusk Reported
To Be Interested
Moscow - (UPli - Secretary
of State Dean Rusk was re
ported by diploma'': sources
to have told the Soviet Union
today that the United States
may be interested in a Russian
plan to prevent surprise at
tacks by placing inspectors
In strategic areas in both East
and West.
Rusk, cautiously exploring
new ways to ease cold war
tensions in the wake of Mon
day's signing of a partial nu
clear test ban treaty, met
twice during the day with
British Foreign Secretary
Lord Home and Soviet For
eign Minister Andrei Gromy
ko. Took Initiative
Rusk was reported to have
taken the initiative at today's
meetings to ask Gromyko to
explain the surprise attack
plan in greater detail.
The surprise attack defense
proposal first was made by
the Russians in 1958. It was
Tevived by Soviet Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev in a major
Kremlin speech last July 19.
It was one of a series of moves
he called for - including a
non-aggression pact between
the Western NATO alliance
and the Communist Warsaw
Pact - to ease world tensions.
Khrushchev suggested July
19 that the inspectors be sta
tioned at such strategic instal
lations as harbors, rail depots
and airfields to keep'-.tabs on
troop movements that might
be connected with a sudden
attack by either side.
Rusk, Home and Gromyko
were reported to have discuss
ed such questions as the distri
bution of the inspectors at to
day's session.
The diplomatic sources said
the Soviet aide apparently
placed major emphasis on ob
servers in both East and West
Germany.
Purely Exploratory
The sources emphasized,
however, that the Moscow
meetings were purely explora
tory. If they show there is a
real possibility for further
East - West agreements, the
sources said, they may be fol
lowed by a summit meeting
between President Kennedy,
Khrushchev and British
Prime Minister Harold Mac
millan.
Informed diplomatic circles
here have speculated that such
a meeting might take place
during the United Nations
General Assembly meeting in
New York this fall.
The sources said he also re
commended any possible
agreement include some form
of the "open skies" inspection
set-up first proposed by for
mer President Dwight D. Ei
senhower.

Americans Told
To Leave Area;
Towns Captured
Force Estimated
To Be 300 Men
Port Au Prince, Haiti-flJPH-Haiti
declared its northeast
frontier region a war zone to
day and warned American ci
vilians to leave the area while
army forces undertook to wipe
out what was officially des
cribed as a small invasion
force.
Government sources esti
mated the invaders at about
300 men and said they had
spread out from the Fort Lib
erte area where they were re
ported to have struck Monday
into smaller combat units for
apparent guerrilla operations.
Official spokesmen said
they expected to crush the in
vasion forces soon. They scof
fed at widespread reports that
the invaders numbered any
where from 500 to 1,000 men.
Local sources said the in
vasion force hit at Fort Lib
erte Monday after apaprently
entering Haiti from across the
Dominican border, presum
ably at Dajabon, about 10
miles from Fort Liberie.
In Santo Domingo, capital
of the Dominican Republic
which shares the island of
Hispaniola with Haiti, rebel
spokesman Paul Verna claim
ed the towns of Fort Liberte,
Derso, Trou and Limonade
had been captured and a well
armed 500-man force was ad
vancing on Cap Haitien on the
north coast, Haiti's second
largest city.
Verna identified himself as
a Haitian ex-diplomat and co
ordinator for the exile Dem
ocratic National Union (UDN),
which claims credit for the
invasion. He said the invaders
landed at Fort Liberte early
Monday morning from an is
land somewhere in the Carib
bean. He said another landing
would take place during the
night.
The UDN spokesman said
the rebels were led by Gen.
Leon Cantave, former Haitian
army chief of staff. He said
they planned to take Cap Hai
tien, which is 23 miles west
of Fort Liberte, and would
then march 85 miles south to
Port au Prince in their cam
paign to overthrow the auto
cratic regime of President
Francois Duvalier.

Nuclear Test Bon Treaty Hailed by
World Leaders as Foundation for Peace
London - (VIM) - The East-
West nuclear test ban treaty
was hailed today by world
leaders and editorials as the
foundation for further cold
war settlements, but many
warned of the threat of an
isolated Communist China.
Japan, which marked the
2!mt
the first use of nuclear weap-
ons in warfare - considered
the agreement one of the out-
standing events of postwar
nistory.
Communist China made no
direct reference to the treaty
signing, but the New China
news agency, monitored in
London, transmitted a new
attack on U.S. nuclear policy
by Premier Chou En-lai.
In a message to the Hiro-
shima anti-nuclear conference
n Japan, Chou charged that
U.S. maneuvers mean "the
danger of nuclear war, in-
sieda oi oeing reaucea, nas
imicaacu.

Parks Commission
To Make Requests
To County
The Jackson county parks
and recreation commission
will make two requests to the
Jackson county court as a
result of Monday night's meet
ing of the commission at
Shady Cove.
The first will be in an ef
fort to promote closer cooper
ation between the court and
the commission in mapping
the direction recreational de
velopment is to take, Laur
ance V. Espey, commission
chairman, emphasized.
The court will be asked to
meet each week, if possible,
with Neil Lcdward, director
of parks and recreation, or
with some other commission
representative.
The commission also will
petition the court for use of
funds included in the recrea
tion budget for development
of a water system at Lily
Glen in the Howard Prairie
recreation area.
Funds Are Approved
Funds for the development
were in the approved budget,
Espey riointcd out. The com
mission members gave unan
imous approval to a move to
seek installation of a system
from a well as soon as possi
ble. The area is now served
by a pump taking water from
a spring, which is inadequate,
it was stated. There also is
danger of contamination un
der the present system.
A request of landowners in
the Emigrant lake area for
grazing cattle on the unused
lands was presented by Led
ward and considered by the
commission but no definite
action was taken.
Lcdwnrd said it would be
desirable ill some ways to
graze the land since this
would be advantageous in

reclamation has left the deci
sion to the local authority.
