Text of the Communicate
Issued by NATO Council

PARIS. Sunday, May s (P).
FOLLOWING is the tert OF a
communiQue issued today By
the Ministerial Council of the
North Atlantic Treaty Orgdni-
zdtion:
The North Atlantic Council
met in Paris May 4 and May S
under the Craftsmanship of DR.
(Kristinn) Gudmundsson. For
eign Minister. Of Iceland, and is
sued the following communique
/. The Atlantic powers seven
years ago entered into the North
Atlantic Treaty in the face of a
Communist threat to their COM
mon ideals and civilization. For
they had seen imperiled all hui
man rights which their peoples
regard as essential for their life
and freedom. particularly repre-
sentative government. freedom
of the individual, rule of law,
and liberty of the press.
With the disappearance of the
last free regime in Eastern Eu-
rope, that of CzechoSlovakia, the
Berlin blockade of 1913, and two
years later the invasion of Ko-
rea, the concern of the free world
reached it's climax. The need for
a collective military defense was
all the more obvious because at
the end of the second World War
the free world had disarmed.
These were the circumstances
which led to the creation of
NATO and its military strength,
and this is why the sacrifices
necessary for the defense of the
Atlantic community have since
then been borne in common.
2. The collective defense eff
forts of the Atlantic powers have
not been in vain. They have sue
cessfully deferred Soviet agrees
sion in Europe and have con-
tributed to the adoption by the
Soviet government of the So
called policy of co-existance.
To the extent that this policy
involves a certain easing of ten
sion and the admission by the
government Of the USSR that
war is not inevitable, it is well
coined by the Atlantic powers
who have always supported this
idea. 1t is now possible to hope
that those principles of the
United Nations Charter which
have regulated relations between
the peoples of the Atlantic COM
munity may eventually also reg
ulate relations between the
Soviet Union and the Western
powers.
3. The reasons which gave rise
TO the Atlantic alliance have not,
however. disappeared. No prog
fess has been made toward solv-
Ing certain vital European prob
lems. including identification of
Germany in freedom, which have
to be solved on a basis which
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-06

regarding policies of general
interest.
In order to enable the council
better to perform these tasks
the ministers agreed to appoint
"a committee of three ministers
to advise the council on ways
and means to improve and ex-
tend NATO cooperation in the
Inon-military fields and to develop
greater unity within the Atlantic
community. The committee OF
three was requested to submit
its report as soon as possible.
S. In the meantime, the coun-
Gil agreed:
A. To undertake periodical
examinations of the political as
poets of economic problems.
B. To strengthen economic CO.
operation between member coun-
tries, to seek to eliminate conflict
in their international economic
policies, and to promote condi-
tons of stability and well-being.
c. To instruct the permanent
representatives of the council tt
examine economic problems ir
the light of the ideas set out
above and of a plan put forward
by M. (Christian) Pineau, For
eign Minister of France, calling
upon the services of a commit
tee of technical advisers working
under their authority.
6. The members of NATO are
by their treaty dedicated to
Safeguard the freedom of the
common heritage and civilization
Of their peoples, founded on the
principles of democracy, individ-
ual liberty. and the rule of law
Their first seven years Of
working together have resulted
in marked success and have
strengthened the bonds between
them.
The members of NATO are de.
termined to remain united anc
steadfast to their ideals. They
face the future with confidence
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-05-06

would satisfy the legitimate secu-
rity needs of all.
The Western powers cannot
relax their vigilance until these
problems have been solved and
until a disarmament plan pro-
viding the necessary guarantees
to all and an effective control
system has been put into effect.
The Soviet military power con-
tinueS to increase.
Security remains, therefore, a
basic problem and the Atlantic
powers must continue to give
priority to the maintenance of
their unity and strength. How
ever, present prospects seem to
leave scope for further peace
full initiatives on the part of the
Atlantic powers. They are de-
termined to pursue these initia-
tives with the same energy they
displayed in building up their
defense organization and with
which this will be maintained.
They solemnly affirm this
policy will be pursued in common
and based on the unity, solidar-
ity. and cooperation of the peo-
pies sharing common ideals and
standing together in the cause
of freedom.
4. The Atlantic Council con-
siders it is timely and useful
for the members of the Atlantic
community to examine actively
further measures which might
be taken at this time to advance
more effectively their common
interests.
The Atlantic powers already
possess in the North Atlantic
Council an instrument of unity
and a forum for consultation

Court Frees
''Fuith Healer

MIAMI, Fla. Feb. 81 tP.-
4 Charges that faith healer" Jack
Zoe practiced medicine illegally
were dismissed yesterday by
Justice of the Peace Hugh F.
Duval.
Mr.. Duval said he did not APP
prove or condone Mr.. Goes &C
ton in telling the parents of a
3-year-old polio victim to remove
the child's braces.
But by the same token, this
court does not condemn the de-
Ifendant or anyone who in good
faith advocates and practices
divine healing" Mr.. Duval
added.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Clark
brought the charges againststhe
Texas evangelist, asserting that
their son, George, jr., suffered a
setback when they took off his
braces on Mr.. Goes instruc-
tons.
Mr. Goes $4,000 bond will be
returned to him and he will be
free to continue his services
here
THE basic issue in this case
Mr.. Duval said, lis whether the
acts and words of the defendant
came within the exception in the
law governing the practice of
medicine.
Testimony varied as to what
the defendant actually did and
said. 1t is fair 10 conclude from
the testimony that the defendant
said in effect; The child is
healed; leave the braces of and
have the child walk a little each
day for few days.
/ Considering these words
alone, it would appear that they
went beyond the realm of the
spirit and entered the realm Of
physical therapy.
Great harm might have re-
suited to the child: fortunately,

Rigid Supports Attacked
The Secretary gave a detailed
analysis of the administration
program which was submitted
in January to Congress by Pres
ident Eisenhower and reiterated
the White House contention that
the crop surpluses built up un-
der high rigid price supports
were responsible for the de-
pressed condition of agriculture.
The House. at the last session
passed a bill to restore the high
rigid supports which were
dropped in the Administration

also has tied in high level sup

is due to be taken up for de-
bate this week.

not wish to change his reply to
the question of whether he had

When Mr.. Morris put the ques-

"Ill decline to answer that"
