PACE 2 A HERALD ANT) NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON FRIDAY. AUGUST 8. 1958 Bertrand Russell Offers Peace Plan That Could Be Considered Editor's Note: 1'nitod Press International Vice President and Associate General Manager Kingsbury Smith is on a fact finding tour of Europe. By KINGSUUKY SMITH United Press International MINFEORDD, Wales lUPD A practical world peace plan that could be considered at a United Nations General Assembly meet ing, or a summit conference, if one is ever held, was outlined to day by Lord Bertrand Russell, Britain's most famous philoso pher. In an exclusive interview with (his correspondent, the 86-year-old intellectual genius, who wrote a masterpiece on mathematics and! won the Nobel Prize for litera ture, warned that time is running out for the adoption of effective measures to prevent a nuclear war that is likely to destroy the. numan race. "The chances at present seem to mo lo be about 50-50 whether there will be a human being lcftlsides since ims i tht ih , in the world 40 years hence," he caid. "If present policies continue to be pursued, the chances will be very much less than that." The plan outlined by Lord iius tell envisaged agreements in principle" with Russia which he felt could pave the way for per manent peace nnd a "paradise" on earth lor mankind. The renowned and highly con troversial "free-thinker" devel oped the points of his peace plan in response to questions put to him by this correspondent who traveled over 200 miles from Lon don to a picturesque hillside in Wales to interview the man who is generally recognized as pos sessing one of the world s great est minds. Since the Middle East situation Involves a danger to world peace. Lord Russell felt that any U.N. General Assembly or summit meeting on that subject should consider the broader issue of how to prevent a nuclear war. If agreement could be reached on that question, he is confident such problems as those of the Middle East would be much easier to solve than they are likely to be otherwise. He thinks It would be a good Idea to have two outstanding per sonalities who are not closely as sociated with either the East or West blocs attend the opening ses sion of a General Assembly or summit conference on the Middle East problem and address the meeting as the "representative of mankind" on tho dangers of nu clear war and unrestricted atomic tests. He suggested lhat Albert Schweitzer, the noted philosopher ana humanist, would be a good man lo be one of them. Asked whether he himself, as a recog nized spokesman for those who fear the effects of nuclear explo sions, would be willing to address such a meeting, if invited to do so. Lord Russell replied: "I would go like a shot. It would be an opportunity in a thousand. I doubt, however, that I would be invited. Both sides suspect me to being sympathetic (o the opposite bloc. The Communists have been after me recently because I de nounced the Soviets for the execu tion of the Hungarian revolt lead ers. If I did address the summit meeting on the dangers facing the human race, I would like to have Premier Nehru of India also speak on the same subject. The Russians might pay more atten tion to him than they would to me."

I think I would say first of all we must recognize a nu clear war means an irreparable disaster; that neither side would survive, and therefore we must agree that we are going to rule out war. Recognition of that fact must be the major axiom of our discussion. "Having ruled out war by both sides, I would say that nuclear weapons are useless. That would be the No. 2 proposal. "The No. 3 nrnnntitinn unnlH Ko that since both sides are equally strong in terms of destruction, we should seek a disarmament agree ment mat will leave them equally strong. There should be no net ad- vantage to either side from a dis- armament agreement. The fault with disarmament proposals that have been put forward hv hnth designed to leave the other side in a weaker position "It has been said on the West ern side that abolition of nuclear weapons would leave the Commu nist world superior in ground forces. That is a valid argument unless you can get an effective agreement to limit the ground forces so that there would contin ue to be an equal balance of mili tary power. It would be difficult, but it could be done. "I would then propose a disen gagement in Central Europe. I would suggest that alien forces be withdrawn everywhere. That would be a sacrifice for the Amer ican system of security, but it would be a sacrifice for the Rus sians, because it would have to include the withdrawal of Soviet military forces from the satellite states. Once the Russians with drew, those states would revert to the West. However, the aitreed area of withdrawal on either sirin snoutd be such as to leave the present balance of power unaf fected. "I would propose lhat this dis engagement apply in the begin ning to all of Germany. Poland and Hungary. The military neu tralization -and defense of those states would be euaranteed hv the Dig powers. I would point out that if such measures as these could he taken, it would make it much more dif ficult for cither Ride to resort to war and it would create a favor able atmosphere for the negotia tions of an effective International system for the inspection and con trol ol nuclear'weapons. "I would say that if these prin ciples could be agreed upon at the summit meeting, then both sides could proceed to conclude the nec essary agreements to implement them." Lord Russell said he would also propose that all nations be called upon to reaffirm their willingness to submit all disputes among them lo international arbitration. nnd that the big powers under take lo apply an economic block- nde against any nation lhat re fused to abide by the verdict. He said he would further advocate es tablishment of a permanent Unit ed Nations police lorce lo safe guard the smaller nations from direct or indirect aggression. 1 would," he added, "sav lo both sides: 'If you do not want war, this is tho way to go about preventing it.' I would emphasize that it there is a nuclear war. nobody and nobody's svstem will be loft." m srees yesterday in the Rio ,;rande valley.

One explosion behead ed two customers and three other people were missing. The casuatlies occurred among breakfasters at the Cafe Azar. No one was hurt by the second ex plosion, in front of a tearoom. The bombing was the second se rious terrorist outrage in Beirut since Gen. Fuad Shehab was elect ed president July 31 as a compro mise candidate to end Lebanon's bloodshed. One person was killed last Friday by a bomb that wrecked two downtown stores. There was no way to determine whether today's bombing marked a return to the strife that has gripped Lebanon since May 10. except lor isolated clashes, in cluding a sharp one yesterday, an uneasy truce has prevailed since Shehab's election. Insurgent forces are continuing a general strike in areas they hold. The Cafe Azar was bombed shortly before 7 a. m. I saw two or my customers who had their heads blown off, said the proprietor. The government rushed tanks and men to the scene to keep a crowd of some 4,000 persons back. A 24-hour battle was reported yesterday in the Bekaa Valley of northeast Lebanon between rebel tribesmen and progovernment forces. Nine government men and three tribesmen were killed, in formants said.

Kangaroo Mules Pose Problem PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP)-A mule that looks and hops like a kan garoo has created a mystery at the I. H. Martin summer stable in this mile-high Arizona city. The mule, born Wednesday night, is the offspring of Martin's 7-year-old Shetland pony Janie and a burro. At least Martin thinks it was a burro. The foal's hind legs are normal, but the front ones are only six inches long. Soon after its birth, the creature bounced to the near est clump of bushes and hid. You Can Never Tell Where Or Who Will Find Taleni By CHARLES MERCER NEW YORK (API You never can tell where talent will be found or who will be its discov erer. For example: One evening almost three years ago a high school boy named Law rence Welk Jr. dropped in for a date with a classmate named Di ann Lennon at her home in Ven ice, Calif. He found Dianne and her younger sisters, Peggy, Kathy and Janet, singing while they washed the dishes. They were good enough for tele vision, he later told his father, gentleman who is somewhat fa miliar with both music and tele vision. The senior Welk ducked the audition pleadings of his son for a long time until one Sunday when he was laid up with a cold Trapped, he listened to the Len non sisters. Two weeks later they U.S. Deports Opera Singer PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Song sang yesterday but he apparently won't sing much more in the United States. Federal authorities claim Song B. Kim entered this country ille gally seven years ago. They plan to ship him back to Korea Satur day or Sunday. Kim, 24, claims he is an opera singer. And nis baritone voice boomed incessantly through the county jail yesterday. Kim said being deported would not be so bad, except that he will not be able to appear in New York for an October audition with the Metropolitan Opera. Kim said he jumped ship to be come a shipping clerk in Los An geles. Later, he began singing first in Los Angeles and then with the chorus of the San Francisco Opera. He was arrested in Los Angeles and brought here for de portation. Jury Acquits Peace Officer WATER VALLEY, Miss. (AP) A jury deliberated 28 minutes yes terday and then acquitted Sheriff J. G. Treloar of manslaughter in tne death ot a Negro handyman who was roughed up in jail. The handyman, 37 year - old Woodrow Wilson Daniels, died July 1 of a brain hemorrhage 10 days after his release from the Yalobusha County Jail. witnesses testmed tncy saw Treloar, 36, strike Daniels. Treloar admitted he struck the handyman several times after ar resting him on charges of nos sessing whisky, drunkenness and reckless driving, but said the blows could not have caused Dan iels' death. Dr. M. S. McMillian testified he found nothing wrong with Daniels when he examined him at the jail after Daniels had complained, but that after his release he sent the handyman to a specialist at Mem phis. VACATION BONN, Germany (UPI) Chan cellor Konrad Adenauer leaves at midnight on a four-week vacation at Cadenabbia, on the shores of Lake Como, in northern Italy. appeared on the Lawrence Welk Show (ABC-TV, Saturday.) Today, as regulars on the Welk Show, they receive about a mil lion or something fan letters a week. Today, when they visit New York, you can't join .them for a quiet tomato juice in a restaurant without droves of maternal wom en engulfing the table for auto graphs. Yet an astonishing thing about the Lennon sisters is that they don't want a lifetime career as professional singers with a sin gle reservation. Asked about that future during their first trip to New York, Di anne, 18, Peggy, 17, Kathy, 14, and Janet, 12, said they had no desire to continue indefinitely as profes sional singers with that sin gle reservation which Peggy ex pressed for all of them: "But wa would like to continue singing just as long as Mr. Welk will have us." Since Welk wants to keep them with his organization indefinitely and since Welk appears destined to remain indefinitely on televi sion, it would seem that the Len non Sisters will be with us for a long, long time. None of the girls has a great desire to go to college. Dianne, who finished high school in the spring, says she has plenty to do helping her mother around the house in Venice where the four sisters have four young brothers and a baby sister with another Lennon scheduled to arrive lata this year. None of them reads a note of music. Coached by their father William, a former professional singer who now is a field sales man for a dairy, they rehearse daily and informally. Dianne usu ally pitches a song on B flat and they work it out from there. Their success has enabled ths Lennon family to move into a larger house in Venice. But there's not a sign that success has spoiled them. Producer's Fortune Left To Wife, Family LOS ANGELES (AP) Movie producer Harry M.
