Pres ident Eisenhower takes the Middle East bull by the horns and pro poses that UN Secretary-general Hammarskjold start consultations " immediately with Arab nations to see if they can agree on estab lishing an ARAB REGIONAL DE VELOPMENT INSTITUTION de signed to "speed up progress in such fields as industry, agricul ture, water supply, health and ed ucation." He said the U.S. would support such an enterprise if the Arab states were prepared to support it WITH THEIR OWN RESOURCES. But, he added, the leadership in such an enterprise must BELONG TO THE ARAB STATES them selves. That is to say: If the Arabs will tackle the job of rehabilitating the Middle 'Cast and managing its resources intelligently for the benefit of the people of the Middle East the United States will help. But It won't initiate the job and It won't attempt to BOSS IT. Rec ognizing what he termed "the great upsurge Arab nationalism," he said he didn't consider the sta tus quo (meaning the situation as of now) in the Middle East "sac rosanct." That is quite a concession to Arab .aspirations. Ho reiterated his promise that ALL U.S. troops will be withdrawn whenever their withdrawal is re quested by a "duly constituted" government of Lebanon or when UN other action eliminated the "original danger" that caused them to be sent. It was a statesmanlike presenta tion of the aims of the United States, and it drew prolonged ap plause from the delegates to the UN General Assembly, before which Ike spoke. What of Russia? Her foreign minister Gromyko listened to the speech. When it ended, he and his aides stood si lently as President Eisenhower left the Assembly chamber. The he got up and blasted U.S. intervention in Lebanon. He charged that the United States is the main threat to peace in the Middle East. He said the policies of the United States and Britain "threaten to hurl mankind into the ebyss of a new war, with all its consequences." He accused the United States of "trampling the UN charter under its feet by send ing military forces into Lebanon, He shouted that before anything constructive can fie done U.S. troops must be withdrawn from Lebanon and British troops must be withdrawn from Jordan. And so on. Hmmmmmm. With even better grace, we could say that before anything construe- tive can be done in the world of today Russia must get her troops out of Hungary. She must get them out of Poland. She must get them out of Czechoslovakia. She must get them out of East Ger many. RUSSIA is the great imperialist Gromyko's job was to CONCEAL that basic fact. But . He didn't threaten to start shoot ing. The correspondents comment that he was somewhat milder than ex pected. CLOWN GENE RANDOW may amuse 99.9 per cent of the customers at Polaclc Brothers Shrine Circus, but he didn't get anywhere with Jackie Hunt, I, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James W. Hunt. Jackie's brother and lister, David (mostly hidden), 7, and Vickie, 9, were easier to please, nd their chaperon, Barbara Merrill Ibehindl found Jackie's standoffishness hilarious.

President Eisenhower addressed the Gen eral Assembly meeting there today, and was followed by Second U.S. Atomic Sub Makes North Pole Trip "WASHINGTON (API-The Unit ed States staked a new claim to mastery of undersea pioneering today after a second atomic sub marine had crossed under the North Pole. The U. S. S. Skate reached the pole at 8:47 p. m.'(EST) Monday just six days after its older sis ter, the Nautilus, emerged from a historic 1,830-mile trip across the polar cap. The Nautilus ar rived yesterday in Portland, Eng land, and got a big welcome. The Navy released word of the Skate's achievement last night without any fanfare in a two paragraph statement. This con trasted sharply with the special White House ceremony arranged last Friday to announce the Nau tilus' voyage. The bare announcement last night said the Skate surfaced in an ice field some 40 miles from the North Pole to radio word of the trip. The Navy said the Skate, the third U. S. atomic sub built, was continuing under-ice explora tions. . The Skate's path to the pole was just the opposite from the Nautilus, which began its journey from the Pacific. The 265-foot long Skate left New London, Conn. July 30 and entered from the At lantic. As with the Nautilus, Navy of-1 ficials did nothing to call atten tion to the military significance of the transpolar trips. President Eisenhower cited the Nautilus achievement as pointing the way toward a new commercial seaway between the world's two major oceans. But the military importance of the (eats was made plain in re marks by sens. Prescott Bush (R-Conn) and Clinton P. Ander son (D-NM).. Bush, telling the Senate of the Skate's trip, spoke of the Navy's delivery of a one-two punch. Anderson said the submarines may have given the United States the means of preventing war. We now have vast new ocean areas from which to wage war," Anderson said. There our submarines fan hide, can remain undetected for long periods of time, and can fire missiles at anyone who dares toi attack us. The United States currently is building a fleet of 33 atomic subs. These include three already in service, several soon ' to go into service and others in the process of construction or on the author ization list. Cmdr. James F. Calvert, a vet eran submarine officer who grad uated from Annapolis in 1942, is the Skate's skipper. The Navy said 10 officers, 87 enlisted men and 9 civilian technicians are making the Arctic trip. The Skate is expected to return to New Lon don late this month through the Atlantic. Eisenhower was told of the Skate's polar journey while flying over Philadelphia last night en route to New York for today s speech before the United Nations General Assembly. Contractors Approve Pact PORTLAND (API The Associ ated General Contractors an nounced Wednesday noon that they had approved the proposed settlement of the five-week-old construction strike and were alert ing member employers to be ready to resume work. The agreement, still subject to approval by the Hoisting and Port able Engineers Union member ship, was reached in a lengthy session Tuesday with Gov. Robert Holmes in Salem. The talks began at 10:30 a.m. and ended shortly before 9:30 p.m. The governor's press secretary said that if terms of the agree ment are accepted by both sides "it seems reasonable that work could resume by next Monday." Terms of the proposal were not announced. Holmes said in a statement that the negotiating committees "re solved the major differences in the dispute, and have reached a settlement subject to ratification of the Operating Engineers' larger 24-man negotiating committee, the union membership in Oregon and Southwest Washington, and the Associated General Contractors Assn.

New Secrecy Battle Looms WASHINGTON (AP) A new round in the battle over federal secrecy shaped up Wednesday, even though President Eisenhower has signed a bill designed to cut down on such secrecy. The fight promised to be a long one. It could involve a deeper con stitutional-tangle than ever before over how much information about federal activities can be withheld from the public. One skirmish ended Tuesday when Eisenhower signed a bill by Rep. John E. Moss (D-Ualitl rul ing out a 169-year-old administra tive law as authority for keeping information secret. Most executive departments had opposed the bill. News industry witnesses and other supporters of the measure had hailed it as a step against unwarranted imposing of secrecy by federal officials. Eisenhower's statement upon signing nit a an ferent theme. Eisenhower said Congress, in considering the bill, made clear that executive branch decision making and investigative pro cesses must be protected. Also, he said, the bill's history showed it could not change what Eisen hower called inherent constitu tional power of the executive branch to keep matters secret. Moss clashed with bisenhower in a statement issued Wednesday I cannot agree with the Presi dent's contention that in enacting the freedom of information bill Congress recognized any inherent executive rights or powers to with hold information." Moss said "Such rights and powers exist for executive departments only when specifically granted by statute The congressman said his House Government Information isubcom mittce will study future executive secrecy claims in the group s at tack on the never-ending problem of assuring the American people that their constitutionally guaran teed right to know will be recog nized." IN AGAIN, OUT AGAIN GASTONIA, N.C. (API-Frank C. Stcoo. who broke out of a pri son camp last February, suddenly had a desire to continue paying his one-year debt to society. He surrendered to police here and was taken to the Gaston County prison camp. Three hours later he was over the fence and gone again. Probers Call Ex-Governor Of Kansas WASHINGTON (AP) A for mer governor of Kansas was sum moned today by. Senate racked investigators to explain his part in a congressional Drobe of the Teamsters Union that was myste riously called off in 1953. At the time, former Gov. Payne Rattner. a Republican, was coun sel for the Teamsters in an in quiry by a special House subcom mittee in Detroit. ' Representatives Clare E. Hoff man (R-Mich) and Wint Smith ( It Kan), cochairman of the subcom mittee, have said that the Detroit investigation was abruptly stopped because of political pressure from high places. ' But they have refused to name anyone. Just what did happen to halt the proceedings has never been explained. The Senate Kackcis committee is conducting hearings on the un ion and its president, James R. Hoffa. The latest of a series of accu sations against Hoffa were made by Robert Scott, former vice president of Teamsters Local 614 in Pontiac. Mich. In a droning monotone, ScotU- a red faced, beefy man swore that Hoffa. among other things, persuaded him to hide his brother William Hotfa from ponce in a Pontiac hotel in 1948. Scott also claimed the Teamsters paid $7,000 in an effort to bring back William Hoffa's runaway wife, Hoffa insisted he couldn t recall asking Scott to hide his brother. He denied the part about his brother's wife. Through his lawyer Edward Bennett Williams, Hoffa also tried to discredit Scott as a witness. Williams told the committee: understand this man (Scott) is a narcotics addict." 'No, I am noC'.' Scott said, glar- ing.at Williams. Committee counsel Robert F. Kennedy supplemented Scott's at tack on Hoffa with some accusa tions of his own.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) President Eisenhower Wednes day set forth a sweeping six-point plan for building enduring Mid- Last peace including swift cre ation of an emergency U.N. po lice force and an international economic development program. In a dramatic personal appear ance before a tense extraordinary meeting ot the United Nations General Assembly, the President at the same time accused Russia without naming the Soviet Un ion of stirring up war hysteria with tactics of "ballistic black mail." Eisenhower laid down his pro posals for peace and economic stability in a major foreign pol icy speech carried coast-to-coast on television and radio, and beamed around the world by the government's Voice of America radio. He said his program would pro mote "a true Arab renaissance." The alternative, ho asserted, is: 'The danger that nations under aggressive leadership will seek to exploit man's horror of war by con- lronting the nations, particularly small nations, with an apparent Goldfine May Be Cited By House Today WASHINGTON (AP) The House votes today whether to cite Bernard Goldfine, Boston million aire and gift-giving friend of pres idential assistant bherman Ad ams, for contempt of Congress. auch a citation, recommended unanimously by the House Com merce Committee, would be based on Goldfine's refusal to answer 22 questions put to him by a subcom mittee probing his relations with Adams. If the House votes to send the citation to the Justice Department and if Goldfine is then prosecuted ano convicted, ne could be given a maximum penalty of $1,000 fine ana a year in prison. Goldfine, at a hearing last July 11, refused to answer 22 Questions aoout tne finances of the Boston Port Development Co., a real es tate holding company he controls, He contended, among other thines that the questions were not perti nent io tne committee s assigned iasK ot investigating federal ree ulatory agencies. In connection with the Questions. subcommittee counsel Robert Lishman pictured Goldfine. ma jority stockholder in the holding company, as milking the firm to tne detriment of minority stock holders. Lishman suggested Goldfine had borrowed a total of $104,973 from Boston Port Development, re ceived a $20,000 commission from it and that the company wrote off $68,000 of interest on a mortgage it held on a Goldfine building. Some questions also concerned al leged debts of others to the com pany. The committee, in a reoort to the House, said Goldfine's refusal was "a specious attempt to kill off pertinent questions exposing tne evil ot exploitation of corpo rate assets by dominant stock holders." It said the Securities and Ex change Commission knew of what the subcommittee called the ex traordinary financial transactions and Goldfine's alleged enrichment by them, but took no action. SHOT KILLS MOTHER TAMPA, Fla. (UPD Mrs. Paul G. Lloyd was killed Tuesday when a loaded pistol her three-year-old son had taken from a drawer dis charged in his hands. OPERATION GOOD TURN which began this spring when friends turned out in force to offer their service and equipment to put in the grain crop on the Ronald Whitlateh farm on the Merrill Highway, it shown heading for conclusion as a large crew of men and machines turned out Saturday to complete harvesting of the crop. The 75 acre plot was seeded to barley in a single day's operation by the crew, and they harvested the acreage also in a single day. Whitlateh hat been under treatment both here and In Port land hospitals since early lett fall for complicated heart disease, and hat been phy ically unable to work hit land. choice between supine surrender, or war." Again without naming Moscow, Eisenhower compared the Krem lin's conduct with someone who cries "fire" in a crowded assem bly. The President's proposed six points: A standby United Nations peace force. An Arab-run Mid-East economic development loan fund and a tech nical assistance program, financed jointly by the Arab states, t h e United States and other countries, presumably including Russia. A constant U.N. check to curb inflammatory propaganda broad casts to and from the Middle East nations. A U.N. study of possible con trols on arms shipments to Mid East countries, including Israel, to avert an East-West munitions race in the area. Unspecified new U.N. moves to guarantee Lebanon's security and independence after American troops are withdrawn. An expression of U.N. determi nation to assure Jordan's survival as a nation, presumably by re placing British troops now there with U.N. personnel. Calling world attention to t h e tense situation in that tiny king dom, Eisenhower warned that in direct aggression discernible in Jordan may lead to conflicts en dangering the peace." He did not fix blame for this, but said con sequences of a far-reaching nature could result. Eisenhower proposed fast Gen eral Assembly action on the parts of his program dealing with the peace force, Lebanon, Jordan and the curbing of subversive propa ganda. The regional economic de velopment plan and arms control he left for handling through other U.N. machinery. The President made it clear the Arabs first of all must agree on the regional development plan. He said: 'Should the Arab states agree on the usefulness of such a sound ly organized regional institution. and should they be prepared to support it with their own re sources, the United States would also be prepared to support it." with soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko on hand. Eisen hower strongly defended his deci sion- to rush U.S. troops into Lebanon, and said against the background of . Russia's bitter de nunciation of that move: "This world of individual na tions is not going to be controlled by any one power or group of powers . . . please believe me when I say that the dream of world domination by one power. or a world of conformity, is an impossmie dream. The President served notice that If necessary the U.S. again would go to the aid of a threat ened country, particularly any small nation, which appeals for help within the spirit of the U.N. charter. Eisenhower's 30-minute address to delegates from the 81 U.N. countries included no sensational surprises. The President did not spell out the kind of standby U.N. police torce he has in mind. But in formed officials said he favors a highly mobile force of about 3,000 men, equipped with small arms only. They would be the U. N.'s first permanent police force, ready to speed to the help of any coun try appealing for such aid. Their main value would be to cover a threatened land with a symbolic mantle of U.N. protec tion. The force would be stationed in the capital of a threatened country, and not used to patrol irontiers as Kussia proposed Tues day. In a clear hid for Arab support of his plan, bisenhower sprinkled his speech with high praise and backing for Arab nationalism. But no place did he mention leader ship of that movement by Presi dent Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic. Nor did he specifically accuse the U.A.R. of fomenting the cur rent Mid-East crisis by interfer ence in Lebanon's internal affairs a charge the U.S. made at the time it sent troops into Lebanon a month ago. bisenhower said that if his Mid- East peace program can be car ried out, then "in a few short years we may be able to look back on the Lebanon and Jordan crisis as the beginning of a great new era of Arab history." He said that the six parts of his plan should be acted on together as integral elements of a single, concentrated peace package. UNITED NATIONS. N.Y.( API- Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko answered President Ei senhower's Middle East peace bid Wednesday with a charge that the United States was the main threat to peace in that area. The Soviet leader addressed the emergency Middle East meeting (Continued on Page 4-A) Token Force Withdrawing From Lebanon BEIRUT. Lebanon (AP) A token withdrawal of U.S. Marine from Lebanon began today a few hours before Soviet Foreign Min ister Andrei Gromyko was to de mand in the U.N. General Assem bly that all 15,000 American troops pull out at once. The 1,700 men of the 2nd Marine Division's 2nd Battalion worked barebacked in the blazing sun to load ammunition and heavy equip ment on snips of the 6th Fleet. The battalion was the first to land July 15 at the request of President Camille Chamoun to bolster his pro-Western regime after the Iraqi coup. , The other Marines and Army troops continued peaceful patrols around Beirut. There was bo in dication when they might leave. Only a handful of Lebanese watched as the 2nd Battalion put its gear on landing craft for trans- uuii iv Din newt biups in ins harbor. When the Marines landed 29 days ago crowds of Beirut resi dents turned out but now they had gotten used to seeing the Leather necks. One group of Lebanese dropped unsigned leaflets on the north beach saying: "Yankees go home. We swear we will not stop short of anything, even death, if Amer ican soldiers are not withdrawn from our country in the shortest time'." Some Marines picked up leaflets as souvenirs but otherwise they were ignored. There have been no clashes between U.S. troops and Lebanese. The rebel chief in Beirut, Saeb Salam, welcomed the withdrawal as a symbolic step but said it "does not fully accomplish the desired aim of the Lebanese people for , complete withdrawal of all oc cupying troops." The Marines themselves weren t worried about the internal political struggle that brought them here. We never did figure out the local politics and don't care anything anout it eitner, said T.sgt. liienn Johnson, Light, Ark. "Marines are Marines. The withdrawal was going on from beaches both south and north of Beirut, with the commander of U.S. land forces, Maj. Gen. Paul Adam, checking on progress by helicopter.
