Reds Open New Drive To Convince Us Of Disarm MOSCOW (AP) Soviet pub licists have opened a new cam paign to convince the West that complete disarmament olfers it better economic opportunities than continuance of the arms race. At the same time Soviet organs make clear that there is no change in the Communist creed that capitalism is doomed whether or not it is shored up by arms pro duction. This is one of the main themes being beamed abroad and the em phasis on it is likely to increase. Domestically the point hammered home by every possible means is that Premier Nikita Khrushchev wants peace and prosperity. Not since Stalin's 70th birthday has any event been so publicized as Khrushchev's trip to the United States. Daily mass meetings throughout the Soviet Union praise Ihe Premier for having made the trip which speakers say has con-i. vinced the American people of the sincerity of the Soviet desire for peace. Every issue of every newspaper and magazine stresses the same theme. There is a color film about the trip and a new book, "To Live in Peace and Friendship." There naturally are still refer ences to the "unshakeable unity of the Socialist camp," but Ahe overwhelming emphasis is on the 22 years, today re-entered the out side world he left as a teen-ager. A former deputy sheriff was later imprisoned for the same kill ing the murder of an elderly doc- lor and subsequently released on the grounds he didn't have a fair trial. Dwyer insisted he changed his plea from innocent to guilty at his trial 22 years ago because he feared violence from the deputy, who was also his jailer. Solon Asks Weather Orb WASHINGTON UP1 - Sen. Alexander Wiley IH Wis.) has proposed that the United States launch an "operational weather man" satellite to relay weather data to the entire world. Wiley, a member of the Senate Space Committee, said Sunday that an international weather satellite would be "a symbol of American leadership in world co operation" that would benefit all nations. He said he understood that such a satellite "could be pro duced and put in orbit in about six months. This country could give other nations the code for interpreting data sent back by the satellite, he added. Wiley said "the recent tragedy of 5.000 deaths in Japan" from storms and floods "could possi bly have been averted if such a space weather station had exist ed." The Wisconsin senator also de manded that the U.S. space pro gram be streamlined to eliminate overlapping and to concentrate on the development of "projects CLOSED TONITE OPEN THURSDAY! Dwyer's sentence had been com muted by Gov. Clinton A. Clauson and the Executive Council. He was 18 when he was sen tenced in 1937 for the bludgeon slaying of Dr. James G. Littleficld, 67. He had not even finished high school. Dwyer, now 40, will work as manager of the 33-room stone ho tel in Norway, only a few miles from Paris Hill where he was born and raised and where Dr. Little- field was killed. Dwyer is the only living princi pal in .Maine s most notorious crime case. His freedom follows by nine years the release of another lifer convicted of Ihe same slaying largely on Dwyer's testimony. Each blamed the other for the crime. Francis M. Carroll, one-time deputy sheriff, served 12 years for the doctor's slaying. He was re leased in 1930 on a claim that he was fraudulently convicted. Car roll died in 1056. Dwyer was arrested in North Arlington, N.J., 22 years ago this month in a car that contained the bodies of Dr. Littlefield and his wile, Lydia. ' After two days of trial at South Paris, .Maine, for the doctor's death, Dwyer changed his plea to guilty and accepted a life sen tence. He said later he pleaded guilty in (ear of violence to himself and his mother, Jessie Mann, now of Worcester, Mass., by Carroll, who was his jailer. Several months later, Carroll was arrested on a charge of incest with his daughter, who was Dwyer s girl friend. Carroll was indicted for murder instead of incest. At the trial, Dwyer testified the peace officer killed Littlefield because the doc tor had learned of the alleged in cest. Dwyer also claimed Carroll killed Mrs. Littlefield because she was s jspicious of what happened to her husband. Nobody ever was tried for her slaying. Prayer Mulled By Ed Board ST. LOUIS (AP)-The question of whether each day in St. Louis schools should start with a volun tary non-denominational prayer is being considered by the St. Louis Board of Education. Board member Daniel L. Schla fly said Sunday he had given copies of the prayer to other mem bcrs for study. "Naturally, if the board adopted the prayer it would be on a purely voluntary basis," he said. Schlafly said the prayer has been approved by many Catholic Protestant and Jewish groups. It also has the approval of the New York State Board of Regents, but last August a New York Supreme Court justice ruled that a public school cannot force pupils to par ticipate in a state-approved pray er. The 22-word prayer: "Almighty God, we acknowledge our depend ence on thee, and we beg thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our country."

All forms of propaganda stress good relations with Wash ington. It is against this background that one should read the assur anccs that the Soviet disarmament proposals are not intended de liberately or by chance to cause an economic upheaval in capitalist countries. The Literary Gazette this week took issue with Harvard philosoph er Robert P. Wolf, who wrote the New York Times that Marx, if alive today, would say "capitalism prospers only on preparations for war whether a war is being car ried on or not." ' "Marxist-Leninists are very far from thinking that modern cap italism can prosper in any event with or without the help of mil itary profits," the magazine said "Marxists look upon present day capitalism as something decaying and dying. Theorist Leonid Leontyev ex plained: "The simple truth is that capitalism is a pregnant with crisis as a cloud is with rain. Whether there is an arms race or nbt, crises are inevitable while capitalism exists." But the article said that the end of the arms race, contrary to the 'croaking of the arms mer chants," would open up broad new prospects for increased interna tional commerce, growing mar kets and consequently growing employment.
