 NEXT MOVE IN THE COLD WAR
Eisenhower and Dulles Report on NATO; Ask Sign of Reds Integrity

WASHINGTON, R-PreSidenf Eisenhower tossed back to Mos cow last night responsibility for making the next great gambit to sreduce world tensions" and open the path to disarmament and peace.
 Eisenhower said all that is need ed to bring about a definite start toward universal security and peace is a spirit of conciliation on both sides and "clear evidence of Communist integrity and sheer ity in negotiations and in action"
 ..For no nation. for no individ- ual among us," the President said, scould there be a finer Christmas present, nor better new year,
 Eisenhower threw his deeds networks challenge to the Krem- lin, as he has many times in the past, in radio-TV report to the nation on last weeks NATO coun- cil meeting in Paris.
 Secretary of State Dulles joined in. Dulles, in fact, provided the bulk of the report, with, Eisen- hower nOdding or occasionally voicing agreement.
 As Eisenhower offered tacit approval, Dulles all but spurned Russia's call of last Saturday for "a special session of the United Nations or an international con- ference" to deal with the tough. elusive disarmament issue. Dulles said that ''of course, 82 nations obviously can't be a negotiating body"
 Russia had rejected NATO's proposal for renewal of disarm- arnent dickering by the foreign ministers of Eastern and Western powers.
 Now the US. has put the next move up to Russia, along with clear implication the Soviets must expect to give as well as get at any conference table. IVY
 Whether some of the allied na- tions will regard the Eisenhower Dulles talk as move away from the foreign ministers discussions is question now being raised in diplomatic quarters. Reaction will be watched as closely from allied capitals as from Moscow.
