Ike Challenges
Soviets' Peace
WASHINGTON, April 16 (11 -3 )—President Eisenhower today chal
lenged •Soviet Russia's new regime to prove its peace overtures are
sincere by agreeing to global disarmament and by taking concrete
steps to ease the tensions that threaten World War 111
"The first great step along this
way must be the conclusion of an
honorable armistice in Korea,"
the President said in a speech
widely heralded as America's an
swer to the Soviet peace offensive.
Once the path of peace has been
clearly charted, once the fears of
East-West strife have abated, Els=
enhower proposed setting up a
multi-billion dollar fund from the
savings of disarmament - to' wage a
"new kind of -,war" . ----an all-out
global wa r against "the brute
forces of poverty and need"
New Editors Meet
For this purpose, Eisenhower
suggested that a "substantial per
centage" of the savings achieved
by calling off the arms race should
go into a fund for "world aid and
reconstruction."
Some 400 of the nation's leading
editors volleyed applause as Eis
enhower addressed the American
Society of Newspaper Editors in
his first full-dress speech on for
eign_ policy since he entered the
White House on Jan. 2.
The Prcsident proposed that a
Korean armistice should be fol
lowed by political discussions
leading to "free elections in a
united Korea." He also called for:
an end to Red aggression in Indo
china and Malaya; an Austrian
peace treaty; unification of Ger
many; independence for East Eu
ropean satellites of Russia:
On Capitol Hill, lawmakers of
both parties gave the President
high praise and support for his
challenge to the , Kremlin's new
masters to do more than merely
talk peace.
Asks Red Path
Even as Eisenhower set forth
this country's position, the Soviet
bloc in the United Nations in New
York withdrew its controversial
Korean proposals and joined with
the rest of the UN in an appeal
fore further' truce talks at Pan
munjom.
Urging Russia to turn from
what he, described as the 'Stalin
dictated course that has left hu
manity "hanging from a cross of
iron," Eisenhower put it squarely
up to the 'Kremlin to show its
hand without trickery or deceit.
'Eisenhower's address, however,
was noticeably fr e e from the
barbed warnings to the Soviets
that have marked some past presi
dential speeches in - recent years,
but he made it emphatically clear
that if Russia turns to aggression,
the free world will hit back with
tremendous strength.

S. Africa Vote
Returns Malan
PRETORIA, South Africa, April
16 (?P)—Prime Minister Daniel F.
Malan swept back to power with
an increased parliamentary ma
jority in returns today from Wed
nesday's general, election. The re
sults signalled a dangerous era
ahead in racial relations.
With 14 seats in the lower house
of Parliament still unsettled, the
stern ex-preacher's Nationalists
had captured 80 of 159 seats.
As in 1943, the Nationalists won
with a minority vote.
They were able to do this be
cause by tradition South Africa,
like some American states, is so
divided by districts that a rural
vote has more weight than a city
vote.
The Nationalists have declared
that their first aim is to crush
the developing non-white resis
tance to segregation laws and to
scrap the right of the independent
judiciary to pass upon laws en
acted by Parliament.
