Details Of Proposal
The peace plan contained
these points:
1. The Soviet Union. the
United States and Britain
should bait the manufacture of
atomic and hydrogen weapons.
2. These governments should
agree 70 halt nuclear tests be-
ginning January /.
3. These governments should
agree not to station atomic or
hydrogen arms In East or West
Germany and should accept
the Polish. Czech and East
German proposal for q nuclear
arms-free zone in central Eu-
rope.
4. There should be a signifi-
cant reduction Of military per-
Sonnel in these countries.
S. There should be a nonag-
greSsion pact between Warsaw
pact and NATO nations. (The
Warsaw pact nations are Rus
sia and her Eastern European
satellites.)
6. There should be agree
mentS renouncing measures
against the independence of
Middle Eastern countries and
the use Of force in the Middle
East.
Z. There should be an end
TO war propaganda and the
beginning Of greater trade and
cultural exchange.
Western nations have re-
peatedly rejected Soviet pro-
posals for bans on nuclear arms
testing and manufacturing be-
cause they feel Russia offers
no guarantees she would live

proposal for a foreign ministers
conference as an attempt TO
ram through a disarmament
agreement on Western terms.
It said these terms are unac-
ceptable to the Soviet Union
because they are in no way
conducive to disarmament"

Former Menace PoIonce
Graduates to Acting

Palance's football career in
his sophomore year. and after
finishing the term he left col
lege to become a professional
fighter.

were vague. 1t was as If

still had an urge to express
myself-either physically or
mentally-and was surer Of

Fighting may have satisfied
Palance's urge for self-ex-
preston. but 1t did little for
him otherwise. His purses
ranged between 500 and $4c1.
His nose was broken, set,

United States entered World
War II he was glad to quit the
ring and apply for aviation
cadet training.
He was commissioned as a
bomber pilot. but a training
crash just before he was to go
overseas caused injuries that
ended his military career and
made the further pursuit of
pugilism a risky undertaking.
Still yearning for self
expression, Palance went back
to college-this time to STAN
ford University. where the
mental finally caught up with
the physical in his develop
ment and the idea OF acting
took firm hold.

HOLLYWOOD (R). - Jack
Palance, whose fascinatingly
malevolent features won him
quick fame In films. has
brushed aside the mask Of
brutality and won stardom by
sheer force Of acting.
The planed face, evilly
glinting eyes and the air Of
menace owed more to make
up men and studio lighting ex-
perts than to nature. And
now the patent on them is
about to expire.
Which is the way Palance
(rhymes with balance) wants
1t. Over the long haul it's abil-
ity, not freak looks. that
counts.
Television has named Pal
ance the top actor Of the year.
The movies rate him a solid
bet for highest honors. And
the critics are running out OF
laudatory adjectives to de-
scribe his performances.
No longer is Palance con-
fined to wearing the black hat
Of the bad man in Westerns
or crammed into the narrow
limits Of q hired killers role.
His last appearance, as a
brilliant film producer in the
television drama, "The Last
tycoon" made no concessions
to Palance's appearance. He's
the good guy in a forthcom-
ing Western, and plays a diff
cult dual role in a movie about
to be released.
Contrary TO Belief
To the general public. how
ever, the 37-year-old Palance
seems something Of an oddly
in the acting profession. The
fact that a man who looks
like a prize fighter-which he
once was-should be an
extraordinarily sensitive. ere
alive actor is contrary TO the
widely held belief that actors
should look like-well. actors.
1t was a belief held even by
Palance, back in the days
when he was a towering, 2l5-
pound teen-ager driven by q
deep desire to find some means
Of expressing himself.
II always wanted to express
myself through words" he
said. But / thought / was
too big to be an actor. I
could see myself knocking
over tables. I thought act
ing was for little sissy guys"
As a result. he turned TO
athletics, where his size and
his. ability to knock things
down were far from a handi-
cap. He starred in football
and basketball in high school
at Hazelton. Pa. and started
boxing as an amateur.
A football scholarship sent
him to the University Of North
Carolina, and when he wasn't
bowling over opponents as a
fullback he was knocking
them down - or getting
knocked down himself--as a
member Of the boxing team.
