us. Accuses Soviet
OF Propaganda in
Disarmament Talks
by The Assoeiased Press

' d s2
UNITED NATIONS. N. r,
Sept. 22.-The United States
delegation made public yester-
day report accusing the Soviet
Union OF having no serious de-
sire to negotiate on the subject
of disarmament.
The document reviewed dis
armament talks held at U.N. di-
rections In London last May and
June. It said the Russians tried
to employ these sessions as a
platform for glib distortions to
support the propaganda slogan
Ban the Bomb"
The State Department white
paper released by United States
Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge
jr., is called "The Record on Dis
armament" It consists of a
United States review of 10 Sc
cret meetings in the British cap
ital. May 13-June a., of a SUBJ
committee Of i've powers on the
U.N. Disarmament Commission.
Served Purposes.
"The discussions obviously did
not result in the discovery of an
acceptable solution" the report
said. It added: Nevertheless, IL,
our view they served several con-
structive purposes"
The paper listed among these
constructive purposes the agree
ment by the four Western powers
present at the talks britain
France, Canada and the United
States) on "the establishment OF
an international control organ
and the phasing and timing o1
the various elements of a dis
armament program"
It said the four Western powers
showed complete unity both in
substance and tactics. The
Soviet Union, the report declared
failed to split the allies.
Claims Rigid Position.
On the Soviet Unions stand
the report claimed Russia "took
more rigid positions than eve,
before, making it completely
clear-where formerly there
might have been a doubt-thai
it will not permit a control orgar
to take any effective action ir
case of violation of a disarna-
ment agreement and clan.

The report concluded that dur.

the Soviet Union Is about te
launch on a large scale a propa.
ganda campaign for uncondi'
tional prohibition of nucleal

to claim they would prohibi

A study of new French pro-
posalS for solving the German
rearmament dilemma has left
official Washington in a gloomy
mood about the future Of Euro,
pean defenses.
The general conclusion is that
any satisfactory solution Of the
German problem will require sub
] stantial adjustment of national
| interests Of several countries. In
particular. it is said. there must
be concessions by France from
! the plan circulated last week
end by French Premier Mendes-
France.
The prospect is that whatever
| adjustments are r1ade will be
slow and painful to work out.
Next weeks nine -power confer
ence at London-including the
Western European allies. Canada
and the United States-is more
likely to be a kind of preliminary
discussion of the whole issue than
a conference which will produce
final decisions.
Quick Action Held Vital.
Yet top American officials are
hopeful that final decisions can
be reached fairly soon-even
negative ones If they are ines
capable. Some are emphatic in
saying decisions must be reached
soon because of a conviction that
West German sovereignty and
rearmament cannot be held in
suspension much longer without
fostering a spirit of. extreme
German nationahsm.
| Just yesterday, London dis
patches said, German Chancellor
Adenaur called for a quick decla-
ration to end the occupation and
give Germany full sovereignty.
The critical issue presented by
the Mendes-France nemorah-
dunn. as officials here analyze it.
is whether the French premier
is really willing to let West Ger
many rearnl without seeking
some safeguards which would
amount to giving her a kind Of
second-rate power status.

| Fears Equal Role"
The implication of public
statements by Mendes-F France
and the provisions of his still
secret memorandum have been
taken to mean that he would
prefer to stall off an equal role
for West Germany in NATO
while accepting her in a regional
West European defensive alli-
ance made at Brussels in 1948.
Every other member of the
Brussels Pact, revised to provide
controls against excessive arma-
ment on the part Of any men,
ber, would be also a member of
NATO.
The possibility foreseen here
is that Premier Mendes-France
would like to get West Germany
into the Brussels setup and then

Baltimore - "a n P) - The
United States has the talent and
know-how to change prejudiced
people into people of goodwill,
William II. HASTE, member of the
third U. S. court of appeals, told
many thousands of people in
doors and over radio last week.
He was principal speaker at the
mid-year meeting of the Baltimore
fellowship at Homewood Friends
meeting house, On the same pro-
gram were the joint choirs of
Philadelphia and Baltimore Eel
lowship houses and the awarding
of the Hollander award to the

Judge HASTE described the res
ervoir of skill in the advertising

the U. S. excels. He told of the po-
tentialities OF television and ra-
do and recalled that during
World War II, government agen-
cies had shown they can utilize
these resources.

CHRISTOPHER DAYS

The year 1873 was a tough one
for the people of Minnesota. 1t
was year of financial depres-
sion throughout the nation. The
winter was very cold and it was
estimated that more than seventy
people persisted in the wind and
snow.
Then came the grasshoppers.
They were called the Rocky
Mountain locusts." Hundreds of
families were left destitute as
crops were completely destroyed.
Cropes were again planted in 1874
and again the hoppers appeared
and took everything before them.
The same thing happened in 1875.
The following year damage was on
a wider scale than before. The
1877 pestilence was met with or
ganized resistance. Fires were set
bitches were dug and grasshoppers
were caught in pans filled with
tar.
When restitution first appeared
the Minnesota legislature voted
aid to those who had suffered.
That action was repeated in ever
growing amounts as additional
years produced more devastation.
Seeds were purchased TO replant
the fields and make them ready
for another attack. Townships and
villages were given authority to
raise funds to help farmers. Those
living in areas where crops were
still harvested gave clothing, food
and money, A large part of the
population was discouraged by
year after year of poverty and dis
tress.
In the last year of infestation
the governor of the state issued
proclamation setting aside a day
for fasting and prayer. For some
reason, natural or supernatural,
the pests disappeared.

SOUTHERN GOVERNORS
FAIL TO TAKE
SEGREGATION ACTION

Boca Ration, F1a.--tANP)--- A
proposal for a constitutional a
mendment to retain segregation OF
the races was rejected by the
Southern Governors conference
resolutions committee last week.
The three-day conference thus
adjourned without any formal ac-
ton on segregation being taken by
the governors.
Gov. Theodore r. McKeldin of
Maryland. a member of the resolu-
tons committee, handed newsmen
a statement in which he said ii
was his opinion that 1t was the
duty of every citizen to accept the
high court ruling regardless Of
his own opinion of the case.
"Any other course would un-
dermine the very foundations Of
law and order" McKeldin said.
