Israel
Arms
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Oct.
today against the sale of arms by
neighbors. She warned she might
bfow from the Arabs.
Ambassador 'Abba Eban, Isri
Assembly that Egypt, which has |
cdncluded a deal for arms
with Czechoslovakia, is conduct
ing “macabre bargains in weap
ons of death.”
“In the name *bf our region’s
threatened security we are movsd
to appeal to all peace loving
states to avoid rewarding Arab
belligerency with arms; to ab
stain from disturbing the military
balance on which the peace of
our region has precariously rest
ed for seven years,” Eban said in
the closing round of general de
bate in the Assembly.
Can't Understand
“It is indeed hard to compre
hend how any government which
values its moral position can give
or sell arms to governments
whose primary international ob
jective is to harass, besiege, in
timidate, and if possible destroy
a neighboring state with which
they refuse to establish peace.
“It certainly cannot be right
eous for any power to do that
which is wrong for another pow
er to do Can it be assumed that
Israel, or indeed any state, in like
circumstances, would be content
to wait passively while a hostile
neighbor, asserting or practicing
a state of war, strengthened him
self for the decisive blow?”
Israel Here to Stay
Eban said Israel stands at the
heart of the'Middle East and is
there to stay. He urged the Arabs
to join Israel in regional harmony
and cooperation.
The Arab answer was given by
Ahmad El-Shukairy, Syria, who
asasiled Israel as a “spring-board
of imperialism.” He said that
Israel “as a state has no room
in our lands.” Shukairy proposed
the Security Council set up a
commission made up of the Unit
ed States, Soviet Union and Iran
to settle the problem of one mil
lion refugees uprooted from
Palestine.
Nixon Calls On
Home Builders
For Slum Aid
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (JP)—
Vice President Nixon today called
or. the home builders, the nation’s
second largest industry, to help
stamp out slums.
Nixon made his plea in dedicat

headquarters of the National As
sociation of Home Builders.
Standing before the eight-story
building crammed with devices to
make living egsy, he reminded
several hundred spectators and
officials that a different kind of
housing prevails for millions.
“We must step up a dynamic
program to eradicate slms and
blighted areas from the American
scene,” Nixon said.
The vice president extolled the
home building industry for its
near record rate of housing con
struction and the entire building
industry for contributing one sev
enth of the nation’s total , produc
tion. •
“Through research and the ex
change of ideas at this center,” he
said, “all of us will be benefited
by better housing in America and
throughout the world.” *

plants feeding electric power into
Pennsylvania.
The pickets carried signs say

Atom Scientists Unite
To Harness H-Bomb
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (AO
Top U.S. atomic scientists are
joining forces at five research
centers in an effort to harness the
terrific power of the hydrogen
bomb for peacetime energy pur
poses.
Chairman Lewis L. Strauss of
the Atomic Energy Commission
announced this today. Scientists
connected with the long-range
program, known as Project Sher
wood, said it holds the promise of
supplying mankind with all the
energy it will need for all time
to come.
Strauss told a news conference
he is hopieful of success—perhaps
within 20 years. The AEC chair
man cautioned in a formal state
ment, however:
“Our work is in the research
stage and many years of intensive
effort may be required before the
first' prototype of an operating
thermonuclear machine may be
developed.
Every Intention
“We have every intention of
attacking as vigorously as possi
ble the remaining problems.”
He said some of the problems
to be overcome are of “extreme
difficulty.”

Red Victory
Likely In
Indonesia
JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 3(A>)
The Nationalist “Proletarian
Front” tonight appeared headed
for a smashing victory in Indo
nesia’s first parliamentary elec
tions.
Its vote, mostly in Java alone,
snowballed near the six million
mark, with margins over three
other major parties ranging up
to two million.
The Nationalists, whose basic
policies dovetail with those of the
Indonesian Communists, seem
sure to capture a majority of the
Parliament’s 260 seats. Java, the
most populous of the republic’s
3000' islands, has 168 seats.
The latest unofficial vote totals
of the top four parties showed a
surprising setback for the Moslem
Masjumi party.
The Nationalists had 5,788,850;
the Moslem Orthodox Radicals,
4,399,378; the Communists, 4,089,-
273, and the Masjumi, 3,648,583.
Most of these returns came
from Java, with scatterings from
parts. of Sumatra, the Celebes,
Borneo, the Lesser Sundas and
the Moluccas.
Voting Started last Thursday
and is to continue for weeks on
outlying islands.
The Masjumi, regarded as mod
erate and right of center and in
clined to be pro-West, was a pre
election choice to win easily.
The Nationalists led by former
Prime Minister Ali Sastr/oamid
jojo see eye-to-eye with the Reds
on major issues. Sastroamidjojo’s
government, forced out of office
nine weeks ago, survived two
years because it had. Communist
parliamentary support.
Sherwood, which seeks in effort
to tame the terrible force un
leashed when light atoms' fuse,
has been under way since 1951
and now is being pressed forward
at Princeton University; AEB
laboratories operated by the Uni
versity of California at Los Ala
mos, N.M., and Livermore, Calif.;
Oak Ridge, Tenn.,.and New York
University.
Strauss made no mention of
Soviet Union claims that great
progress has been made behind
the Iron Curtain in controlled
fusian development.
Neither would he estimate the
cost of the United States’ pro
gram, beyond saying it is “quite a
significant” sum. He said the size
of the project increased ten-fold
between 1953 and 1954, and fore
cost the present program will be
doubled in scope difring the next
fiscal year.
The basic problem is causing
the nuclei or centers of some light
element, such as deuterium, to
fuse—so that a heavier element
is created and at the same time
considerable energy is liberated.
This fusion already can be brought
about—but only with unparalled
explosive fore e—in hydrogen
weapons.

French
Cancel
PARIS, Oct. 3 (JP) —Premier Edgar Faure and Foreign Minister
Antoine Pinay canceled today a scheduled “courtesy and friend
ship visit” to Moscow. The explanation was that the atmosphere
is not favorable now for this type of trip.
The French action reflected the- bitterness in Paris at what
Peron Plans
Eventual Return
To Homeland
ASUNCION, Paraguay, Oct. 3
(A*) —Juan D. Peron implied today
he plans to return someday to his
Argentine homeland. Until then,
he said, he is through with poli
tics.
“I will not move a finger in
political affairs, but will live a
purely private life as Juan Peron,”
the deposed dictator said in a
handwritten statement to a group
of newsmen who asked an inter
view.
“When I do indulge in political
affairs,” he added, “I will return
to my country.”
, The former Argentine strong
man, who arrived here yesterday
to begin a life in exile, gave no
idnication when he might try to
go back home. He fled to the
Paraguayan embassy in Buenos
Aires for asylum 14 days ago in
the face of a successful revolt
within Argentine armed forces
against his regime. Then he
moved to a Paraguayan gunboat
docked on the Buenos Aires a
terfront. Because of his circum
stances, Peron’s note said, he is
unable to make “any political
declaration or publicity” while in
Paraguay.

Russian Trip
was apparently considered a gra
tuitous blow to French prestibe
in. the United Nations General
Assembly’s vote to discuss the
Algerian situation.
In Moscow, Communist party
boss Nikita S. Khrushchev, in ef
fect the spokesman for world
communism, announced the So
viet Union supports the inde
pendence movement in North Af
rica. He called it the “national
liberation” movement. The Soviet
Union—and world communism—
for years has sponsored “national
liberation movements” in all areas
of the colonial world, using such
support as a potent cold war
weapon among underdeveloped
people.
The official French announce
ment said the visit of Faure and
Pinay to Moscow, planned for
Oct. 14 to 16, was put off to a
future date.
Putting off the trip was part
of the aftermath of a vote in the
U.N. Assembly to debate the situ
ation in Algeria. Russia voted
with the majority in the 28-27
vote. France maintains Algeria is
an integral part of metropolitan
France and that the subject is
purely an internal matter, falling
outside the competence of the
U.N. In protest, France began a
boycott of the Assembly.
As a further development, the
Foreign Ministry tonight an
nounced that French ambassa
dors in most countries which
voted for the Algerian discussion
in the Assembly have been in
structed to call the attention of
these nations to the effect the
vote might have on future rela
tions with France.
