U. S. Officials Cool to MocmiIlon
Proposal. Poee A.
---~----->-----~---
Britain is ready TO negotiate
either within or outside the
United Nations to test the
sincerity Of Russia's current
peace offensive.
we could start by a solemn
pact Of non-aggression," the
Prime Minister declared. This
has been done before. It would
do no harm. 1t might do good"
He said that. regardless Of
how the West goes about
making its new approach TO
Russia. THE object would be
TO clear away the rubble OF
old controversies and disagree
ments-perhaps TO get the path
ready for a meeting Of heads
Of government.
Notable Shift in Policy
Britain always has left the
door open for a summit con-
ference if there are reasonable
prospects for success but the
statement on a non-aggression
pact appeared to reflect a nota-
BILE shift in government policy.
British government officials
generally have discounted Rus
sian proposals in this field in
the past. They have often
called attention to the fact that
Russia h a d non-aggression
pacts with most of the coun-
tries it swallowed up after
World War ]
Mr. Macmillan. however. b
out the possibility that Rus
may have undergone q genuine
change Of attitude in the Sput-
mix age, view not shared by
his United States ally.
Some people may think that
1t is no part of Communist
philosophy or Russian inten-
tons to bring any more coun-
tries into subsection by force"
he said.
This may well be true. I do
not rule it out. But can any.
one be reasonably sure?"
Cites New Years Message
Mr.. Macmillan said no one
in the West can be sure of what
Russia has in mind. Referring

Top Issues for

Dominate Thinking

Preparedness and politics win
dominate the 1858 session of
Congress. which opens at noon
Tuesday.
The Russian Sputniks and
the approaching congressional
elections will cast their shad-
ows across Capitol Hill. They
will stimulate much Of the de-
bate that viii echo from the
vaulted ceilings Of the House
and Senate chambers for the
next six months or more.
Democrats and Republicans
are expected to forget their Diff
ferences when it comes to APP
propriating more money for
missiles and scientific research.
But there is bound to be some
argument across the political
aisle over why the Russians
won the satellite race and
whether they have left the
United States behind In missile
development.
Two Of the big battles Of the
session viii revolve around for
eign aid and trade-issues that
will cut across party lines. with

civil rights bill. but with little
chance Of success. The admin
istration has indicated II win

changes in the law passed last

Democrats joining In oppose

The administration is pre-
