FRIDAY-. OCTOBER 1. 1954
Csermari Army
To Be Formed
. LONDON, Sept. 30 (JP) —Nine Western allies agreed tonight on an
historic program to enlist a new West German army in a defense
alliance ' communism.
v;' 1 ' . The free world foreign ministers also appeared, headed toward
a general settlement designed to wipe out the ancient fears and
rivalries that have rent Europe
for centuries.
The. program emerged as the
climax, of a series of compromises
between thrice-invaded France
and Her . partners. As hammered
out at the nine-power conference
hero; it would:
1. End the Allied occupation of
West Germany by about the, end
of ■ this yean : American-British-
French surrender of some rights
may take place almost immediate
ly.
2. Allow the West Germans- to
rearm under a strict international
watch to be carried out by' a
seven-nation European Arma
riients Authority.
3. Bring West Germany simul
taneously into an enlarged Brus
sels alliance and into the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization ‘as
its 15th member. Italy, a wartime
enemy-too, will also join the Brus
sels group, formed by five na
tions in 1948.
Key clue to the progress of the
complicated negotiations between
old enemies who are becoming
new friends was given in a com
munique:
“Agreement was reached in
principle on the modification • re
quired in the Brussels Treaty for
the adherence of Italy and the
Federal Republic of Germany.”
That clause, according -to ■ a
British Foreign Office spokesman,
means the conference is “over the
hump!”
It means that, aside from some
hard technical work by experts in
the coming month, the way is
clear for the Germans to join
NATO.
Britain, France, Belgium, the
Netherlands and Luxembourgh—
the founding members of the 50-
year Brussels -- alliance—swiftly
agreed on a supplement to. .their
treaty that will formally, invite
West Germany and Italy to join.

John Ray Hopkins, corporation
president, called - it “man’s first
successful attempt to utilize for
propulsion the complex mysteries
of nuclear fission.”
Adm. Jerauld Wright, Atlantic
Fleet commander-in-chief, sound
ed a sober warning that Russia
is “feverishly constructing a Na
vy” to challenge the United States
for air and sea supremacy which,
he said, “we must maintain if we
are to remain a free nation.”
Within the past ten years, said
Wright, Russia has risen from sev
enth place to second among the
world’s naval powers with a sea

Russia Proposes
Atomic Program
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Sept. 30 (£>)—Russia’s Andrei Y»
Vishinsky today proposed the elimination of all atomic and hydrogen
weapons by stages and the eventual use of atomic energy for peace
ful purposes only.
Vishinsky put before the UN
lasting one hour and 41 minutes
the most complicated and detail
ed resolution on disarmament so
far offered by Moscow in the El
year history of the UN.
He also told the UN that Mos
cow bases- its foreign policy
squarely, on a policy of peaceful
between the Commu
nist and capitalist states. He
hailed the defeat of the European
Defense Community plans by the
French Parliament, and said that
attempts are being made by war
like circles to unleash a new war
in Korea.
In unveiling Moscow’s new look
on disarmament, Vishinsky passed
over with slight comment Presi
dent Dwight D. Eisenhower’s pro
posals for the peaceful uses of
atomic energy. He said that Sec
retary John Foster Dulles did not
present concrete proposals to the
Assembly last week and the Rus
sians would wait until they see
something on paper in the Assem
bly before giving their views.
Vishinsky also proposed in his
resolution that the Disarmament
Commission study and clarify the
British-French proposals of last
June 11 which provide that UN
members agree they should not
use nuclear weapons except as a
defehse against aggression.

'Home Rule'
BLOOMSBURG, Pa., Sept. 30 (iP>
—Lt; Gov. Lloyd H. Wood, Re
publican candidate for governor,
tonight pledged what he termed
continuation of home rule' ia
Pennsylvania.
“One of the fundamental prin
ciples of the Republican party is
home rule,” he said. . “Down,
through the years the Republican
party has fought the battle against
centralization of government.”
Wood said his Democratic op
ponent, Sen. George M. Leader,
“talks out of both sides of his
mouth” in discussing home rule.
“Does it sound like more home
rule when he talks about the state
government taking over slum
clearance, the problem of ' local
transportation, parking, water
supply, treatment of sewage, rec
reation and urban development?”
asked Wood.
The GOP candidate said Lead
er’s idea of home rule is to “take
everything away from local gov
ernment except the right to pay
taxes.”
