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.

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

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."

cooperation with the United
States. 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.
The newspaper referred to an
editorial in the San Francisco

The Literary Gazette com
mented: "Competition in peaceful
