Shepilov said the Soviet pro posals had been|sent to the United States, British and French ambas sadors. The program he outlined was viewed by Western diplomats here as the Krimlin’s answer to President Eisenhower’s doctrine for-stabilizing the Middle East. Peace Offensive Hinted The mildness of Shepilov’s long statement of foreign policy sug gested the Soviet Union, perhaps wanting a cooling off period, is heading into another peace offen sive. Seeming conciliatory on some points and unyielding on others, Shepilov outlined these six points to the Middle East: 1. Maintenance of peace in the Near, and Middle East through settling disputed questions exclu sively by peaceful means, by ne gotiation. . 2. Noninterference in the inter nal affairs: respect for sovereignty and independence. 3. Renunciation of any attempts to include these countries in mili tary blocs with the participation of the great powers. 4. Liquidation of foreign bases and withdrawal of foreign troops. 5. Mutual renunciation of the supply of arms. 6. Cooperation toward economic development without making any political, military or other condi tions whatsoever “incompatible with the dignity and sovereignty «f these countries.” Man Develops Hardest Crystal NEW YORK, Feb. 12 (JP) —The hardest substance ever made by man—an entirely new material— has been- created by tremendous pressure and heat, General Elec tric scientists announced today. - - It is a crystal hard enough -to scratch a diamond and able to stand twice as much heat. Named "borazon,” it is expected to have “far-reaching impact” in indus trial polishing and cutting opera tions, they said. Dr. Robert H. Wentorf, a 30- year-old physical chemist from west Ben, Wis., is credited with the discovery of borazon. A mem ber of the GE research team which produced j tiny man-made diamonds two years ago, Dr. Wen lorf used a similar method to pro duce borazon crystals the size of grains of sand. 1 Cupid says [/, be sure to tee the big (elec tion of . . .

PENNSYLVANIA Soviet Foreign Minister Western Europe Plans Vast Zone Of Free Trade PARIS, Feb. 12 (SP) The eco nomic ministers of 17 nations to [day pledged support of a plan to [turn non-Communist Europe into one vast free trade zone of 300 million people. It is potentially the world’s richest market. Sir David Eccles of Britain called for a treaty by July to launch the plan to tear down tariffs. But he made one reser vation that threatened to delay the program. Industrial Goods Only The chairman of Britain’s Board j of Trade told the Organization for! Economic Cooperation only indus trial goods should be included. That would leave tariffs on agri cultural products. Economic Minister Jens Otto Krag of Denmark objected strenu ously. Krag said Denmark as an agricultural country could not join under such conditions. Portu gal, Italy and Greece took the same view. Special Case Cited Krag conceded Britain’s com mitments to import agricultural products from Commonwealth na tions created a special case. In brief, tariff-free agricultural prod ucts from Europe might undercut! Commonwealth exports. Commerce Minister Gunner Lange of Sweden and Finance Minister Paul Ramadier of France saw hopes of a compromise on the question. Zone Includes: The zone would embrace Aus tria, Belgium, Denmark, France,- West Germany, Greece. Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Neth erlands, Norway, Portugal, Swe den, Switzerland, Turkey and Britain. Tariffs in the 17 nations would be eliminated gradually over a period of about 15 years until all would be able to buy and sell freely among member countries.!
