MOSCOW, Feb. IL (R.-The
Soviet Union proposed today
that the Big Four cooperate in
economic aid to the Middle East.
maintain peace there by negotia-
tons and otherwise keep hands
off of the tension-racked area.
Soviet Foreign Minister Dmitri
Shepilov told the Supreme
Soviet, Russia'S parliament, that
the Kremlin government had
transmitted such a six-point
proposal in notes handed last
night to the ambassadors of the
United States, Britain and
France.
Mr.. Shepilov said in effect
that the Soviet Union is ready
to stop sending arms to the
Middle East if the Western
powers will do likewise and will
abandon their military bases
there.
The Foreign Minister said the
most urgent Middle East ques-
ton now was "the complete
withdrawal of Israeli troops
from Egyptian territory" He
said his government also sup
ports Egypt's "just demand for
full compensation of the dam
age caused" by the British
French Israeli invasion of Egypt.
Backs Cairo on Suez
Mr. Shepilov also lined his
government up again with
Cairo's demand that Egypt alone
control and operate the Sues
Canal. He said claw and justice
are wholly on Egypt's side"
/ Mr.. Shepilov said this six
point proposal had been made
to the United States, Britain and
France:
81. The maintenance Of peace
in the Near and Middle East
through settling disputed ques-
tons exclusively by peaceful
means by negotiations.
20. Noninterference in the in
ternal affairs of the Near and
Middle East; respect of the SOW
ereignty and independence Of
these countries.
IS. Renounce any attempts to
include these countries in mill
tary blocs with the participation
Of the great powers "a direct
slap at the Western-sponsored
Baghdad Pact but not at the
ARAB League alliance which
Egypt has been promoting.
Liquidation of Foreign Bases
~. The liquidation of foreign
bases and the withdrawal of for
eign troops from the territories
of the countries of the Near and
Middle East.
IS. The mutual remuneration
Of the supply of arms to coun-
tres of the Near and Middle
East.
IS. Cooperation toward the
economic DEVELOPMENT of the
countries of the Near and Md
die East without making any po-
litical. military or other condi-
tons whatsoever incompatible
with the dignity end sovereignty
of these countries"
The Soviet SIX points APP
,peared to represent the Krem-
Inns answer to President Fisen-
hower's doctrine to stabilize the
Middle East.
The United States President
offered military and economic
assistant against Communist ag-
erosion. if requested, to any
country in the strategic oil-rich
area.

opened today. the company in
formed the PSc that since the
hearing was recessed. II has
granted pay increases to its
employees amounting to SIT
million. of which STA million
went to Maryland workers.
The company did not offel
a suggested rate schedule in.
crease for getting back the $l.4
million as 1t did for the or.
iginal request Of a $6.8 million
rate increase. Instead. it asked
the PSC to allow for the In.
creased costs when making it
decision.
In its original petition. the
company said 1t wanted to in
crease its gross receipts by $6.S
million by raising the cost about
30 cents to the average tele.
phone user. In return. it wouio
