We have reviewed the question
|of standardization of rifles and
ammunition in the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. Neither
country thinks it wise at this
critical time to take the momen-
Itous step of changing its rife. In
the interest of economy, both in
time and money, we have agreed
that the United States and the
United Kingdom will continue to
rely upon rifles and ammunition
now in stock and currently being
produced. In the interest, how
ever, of eventual Standardization,
we have also agreed that both

countries viii produce their new
rifles and ammunition only on an
experimental scale while a COM
mon effort Is made to devise a
rifle and ammunition suitable for
future Standardization.
The question of the Atlantic
command is still under discussion.
Throughout our talks we have
been impressed by the need to
strengthen the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization by every
means within our power and in
full accord with our fellow mem
bers. We are resolved to build an
Atlantic community, not only for
immediate defense, but for endur-

All Florida Luncheon
BY the kssociofed Press

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Jan. TO-
Gov. Fuller Warren smashed
precedent when he entertained
both whites and Negroes at a
luncheon in the Florida executive
mansion yesterday.
The interracial group conferred
with the Governor at the capitol
on the Christmas night bombing
in Minis, Fla, in which Negro
Leader Harry T. Moore was killed
Mrs. Moore died later.
Following the conference, the
Governor invited the group of
northern whites and Negroes to
lunch with him. His personal
limousine and highway patrol
cars carried them to the mansion
Gov. Warren said it was the
first time in the States history
and the first time since the man.
sion was built 46 years ago that
there had been such a symbol of
human relations.
Eats With Rockwell Kent.
The group was served at card
tables. as is customary in the
mansion when large groups are
entertained.
Gov. Warren ate at table with
Artist Rockwell Kent and an
other white man. At the other
tables, whites and negroes ate
together; the group also sat with
out segregation at the meeting
in the capitol.
The conference was resumed in
another drawing room after lunch.
Gov. Warren told the delega-
ton he is increasing the reward
Tor those responsible for the Moore
deaths from $4,000 to $4,000. The
delegation was made up of about
20 Northern representatives of
labor, Jewish and Negro organi-
cations, the Progressive Party, the
American Labor Party and the
Civil Rights Congress.
Ask Klan OutIawing.
The delegation called on Gov
Warren to outlaw the Ku Klux
Klan in Florida and call public
meeting to express indignation at
the Moore slayings and at other
bombings and attempted bomb
ings of Negro and religious centers
In Dade County (MiamD.
The Governor said he sympa-
thized with the groups opposi-
tion to the Klan but that it ap-
peared the robed order has a con-
stitutional right to assemble
peaceably.
He emphasized that he has no
fondness for the Klan but said
evidence in the Moore bombing
seems to indicate it had no part
in the incident.
Vows No Clemency.
THE typical Ku Kluxer hasn't
sense enough to handle a piece of
expert explosives such as took the
lives Of those good citizens" he
added. ..=.
Gov. Warren promised that if
the Moore murderers are con-
victed, there will be no clenency
for them-'in short. if they are
sentenced to the electric chair
they will get the electric chair if
/ am Governor at that time" =
Gov. Warren told the delegates
he might call a State wide meet
ing soon.
He suggested that new moral
climate" might appear in Florida
and other States as a result of
action taken after the Moore
deaths. The Moores, Gov. War
ren said, might go down in his
tory as martyrs for brother
hood"
