Cominform

VIENNA, Austria, April II (P).
The dissolution of the COMM
form Communist Information
Bureau, Moscow's international
agency for Europe, was disclosed
today by the official Hungarian
news agency NIT.
The Cominform was estab-
liShed in 1947. It's founding
members were the Communist
Parties of the U. S. S. r.. Yugo-
slavia. Poland, Hungary, Gee
choslovakia, Romania. Bulgaria,
France and Italy. It's original
goal was destruction of the Mar
shall Plan, but in 1948. on Jo-
seph Stains orders, it turned
its wrath on Marshal Tito and
expelled the Yugoslavs.
No meeting of the organiza-
ton had been reported in years
and practically its sole activity
was publication of a newspaper
in Bucharest, the Cominfirm's
nominal headquarters.
Behind the dissolution Of the
agency. successor of the old
Comintern. was the downgrading
of Stain by the Soviet Commu-
mist Party and the upgrading OF
Tito in the Communist world.
NIT told the Associated Press
by telephone that the dissolution
was immediate. II added details
would be published tomorrow in
Szabad Nep, official organ of the
Hungarian Communist Party.

Moscow Asks Arabs
And Israel for Peace
Offers to Aid
Efforts for
Settlement
BULLETIN
BULLETIN

Secretary of State Dulles said
today the United States would
welcome Soviet support for
United Nations efforts to pre-
vent war and establish peace
in the Middle East.
MOSCOW, April Is (P).-The
Soviet Union today called on
Israel and the Arab states to
settle their conflicts on a basis
acceptable to both sides.
A Foreign Ministry statement,
one of the most important issued
recently, was released on the eve
'of the arrival of Soviet Premier
Nikolai Bulganin and Party Boss
Nikita Khrushchev in England
tomorrow for talks with British
leaders.
Russia offered to join other
governments in an effort to reach
a solution of Middle East tur-
MOL and said she would support
any United Nations actions to
strengthen peace in Palestine"
She thus indicated a desire
to have a stake in Middle East
affairs.
Plea Against Incidents
Russia called on both Israel
and the Arab states to refrain
from border incidents along the
U. N.-approved frontier and to
improve the situation of the hun
dreds of thousands of Arab
refugees.
The statement appeared to
have the immediate effect of
choking off any idea the Arab
states might have had that they
could count on automatic Soviet
support in their struggle with
Israel,
1t also answered repeated
public expressions by Western
leaders urging the Soviet Union
to use a conciliatory influence in
the Middle East.
The statement was issued at a
hastily summoned news con-
ference in the Soviet Foreign
Ministry.
Hope for Talks Scars
Diplomatic hope for good re-
suits from the talks in Britain
between British Prime Minister
Eden and the Russian leaders
scared in the wake of the state
ment.
London rehearsed elaborate
security arrangements for the
Observation-Disclosures arrival to-
morrow for a To-day official
tour. The Russian pair was
nearing British waters on a
Soviet cruiser.
Diplomats regard the Soviet
statement as clearing the path
for discussions in London on the
subject of the Middle East
