WEDNESDAY. MARCH 7. 1956 Ike Urges 'Safeguard' Freeze of Atomic Arms WASHINGTON, March 6 (/P)—President Dwight D. Eisenhower urged Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin WASHINGTON, to join him in efforts to end the atomic arms race by freezing stockpiles of atomic weapons under a "safe-guarded" disarmament system. He made his appeal in a letter released by the White House this afternoon and Bul ganin reacted in a friendly manner with extraordinary speed. The Premier told reporters who met him at a Moscow reception that he considered the President's message a "very in teresting letter and a good one," though it would require much study Even before Bulganin express ed this view the Soviet govern ment had distributed Eisen hower's letter to Russian news papers and the text was broadcast on the Moscow-radio. Speed Interests Officials Washington officials were deep ly interested in the speed of So viet action and noted that it departed from the practice there a month ago of delaying publica tion of an Eisenhower letter un til the Russian answer had been prepared. "My ultimate hope," Eisenhow er wrote Bulganin, "is that 'all production of fissionable materials anywhere in the world will be devoted exclusively to peaceful purposes." Difficult To Cut Armies He also told Bulganin that while it may be difficult in the absence of "real peace in the Far East" to agree on cutting the size of ar mies, navies and air forces just now it should be ptisible to agree on limiting "under proper safe guards" major types of weapons, such as bombers, missiles, tanks and the like. Chairman Walter F. George (D.- Ga.) of the Senate Foreign Rela tions Committee said he regards Eisenhower's letter to Bulganin as "very moderate and very tem perate." "He has deprived Bulganin of the propaganda value they hoped to get out of a flat refusal of their proposals," George said. "I think the President very wisely kept the matter open rather than give any positive `no.'"

Ben-Gurion Sees Greater Arab-Israeli War Danger JERUSALEM, March 6 (PO—lsraeli Premier David Ben- Gurion declared today the danger of a second Arab-Israeli war has increased. He expressed confidence Israel would ultimately win any such test. • Against a shifting pattern of Middle East events, Ben- Gurion told his Parliament the chances of preventing war "are somewhat smaller now" and, if blodshed occurs, the. United States and Soviet Russia will share the moral responsibility. "Israel will not start a war," he said. "But if it should break out we will meet it with strength and I have not the slightest doubt that we will stand up and win." It was his first statement since British Lt. Gen. John Bagot Glubb was removed last Thurs day as the commander of Jordan's Arab Legion. Government chiefs of Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Egypt were meeting in an Arab summit con ference in Cairo as the man who led Israel through the war of 1948 delivered his somber, review. Moral responsibility for a "sec ond round" would fall on the So viet government because of a`con tinned flow of Red weapons to Egypt, Ben .Gurion - said, and on the United States because of its continued refusal of Israel's re quest fOr 50 million dollars worth of arms for defense. Democrat Opposes Bipartisan Inquiry WASHINGTON, March 6 (JP)--Sen. Patrick V. McNamara (D.-Mich.) proposed today that the Democrats take charge of the Senate's $350,000 lobbying investigation to prevent it from chasing "will-o'-the-wisps." • He told the Senate he was afraid the taxpayers' money would be "thrown away" if the impending inquiry is conducted by an evenly divided committee of four Democrats and four Re publicans. Such a committee was set up last month but has been unable to agree so far on rules for the inquiry. Full Democratic control and re sponsibility for the investigation could be established, McNamara said, merely by adding one more Democratic senator to the com mittee. There are 48 Democrats and 47 Republicans in the Senate. The recent death of Sen. Harley M. Kilgore (D.-WVa.) left one seat vacant.

Others on the subcommittee had cried "cover up" and "arrogance" after Weeks and Secretary of De fense Charles E. Wilson refused to allow subordinates to discuss trade policy decisions at a pub lic hearing. White House officials were brought into the controversy be fore Weeks told McClellan he would go before the subcommit tee on Thursday and Stassen on Friday.

The company accepted it. James B. Carey, lUE presi was in no hurry to accept the p a five-year contract and the union a minimum five cents hourly an nual wage boost, plus pension, in surance, and other gains. A three-man panel of the Fed eral Mediation and Conciliation' Service said at a news conference that it sought in drafting the set tlement plan to come up with suggested terms fair to both sides. Ease on Minimum Proposals David L. Cole, Paterson, NJ., attorney, one of the panel mem bers, said a great many of the set tlement proposals were based on what the union had suggested as a minimum basis for a new agree ment. Carey said the union's negoti ating committee and its 75-man Westinghouse conference board may not decide until tomorrow or even several days later on whether to accept or reject the ileac. pact. 2 Points Troublesome Cole said two relatively minor points were particularly "trouble some" for the union. One con cerns the panel's recommendation that the matter of reinstating 36 strikers fired for alleged violence should go to arbitration. Carey insisted they be reinstated with out arbitration, as the panel had recommended for 57 other dis charged workers. Total Farm Income Fell $l9 Million Last Year WASHINGTON, March 6 (A)—.

It would give the company Steelworkers Prepare Plans For Demands CHICAGO. March 6 011—The United Steelworkers today dis cussed a double-barrelled set of demands for negotiation this spring in the basic steel industry —a layoff pay plan and premium pay for weekends. David 3. McDonald, president of the union, said he believes both issues of equal importance in ne gotiations affecting 600,000 work ers that probably will start some time in May. McDonald held a news confer ence following the first session of a two-day meeting of the union's 170-man Wage-Policy Committee. The discussions dealt mostly with the layoff pay plan, called supplemental pay benefits by the steelworkers. But toward the end of the day the premium pay issue almost stole the show. "Premium pay seems more im portant to the boys now because of full employment," McDonald said. "But if the reverse were true and we had layoffs like in 1954, the emphasis would be on sup plemental unemployment bene fits."
