would be two reasons for
request.
t Is that Peenemuende is part

the Russian guided missile pro-
i. Hitler developed his V-l and
rockets there, and also had his
_entists working on “heavy wat-
r” in connection with the race to
evelop the atom bomb.
Peenemuende is at the western
of an 800-mile stretch of Bal-
seacoast which is among the
lost heavily guarded territories in
t world. Russian ships and fight-
planes patrol it constantly to a
12 miles out to sea. At

Nations do not bulk! strong mil-
itary base* except in fear of an at-
tack or unless they are planning an
attack of their own.
Equally, they d<i not bnlld these
bases intending immediately to
abandon them.
Wracked in War
One thing seems certain. The
Russians do not intend to abandon
Pennemuende. so carefully rebuilt
after having been wrecked by Brit-
ish bombs in World War 11.
Nor does it seem likely that the
Russians intend to abandon their
bases and shipbuilding yards at
Wismar and Rostock, both within a
minute’s flying time of Denmark,
or at Stettin.
And obviously, without abandon-
ing them, talk of an over-all peace
treaty and a free Germany is so
much poppycock.
Tributes Paid To
U. 5. Armed Forces
WASHINGTON, May 16-UP-
The nation’s men and women in
uniform marched down the main
streets of America Saturday in a
mighty demonstration of the
Armed Forces’ “power for peace.”
From major cities to small
towns, the military displayed its
growing might in the fourth an-
nual Armed Forces Day.
. . j And millions l! Americans lined
a001111 parade routes and flocked to mili-
i tary installations to pay tribute to
I the military—and to gaze at the
I strange weapons of the jet and
atomic age.
in a special message, President
Eisenhower paid tribute to mem-
iters of the Armed Forces through-
out the world.
“Thousands of you are in the
front line of freedom in Korea,” he
said. “Others perform the multiple
defense tasks vital to the security
of America and the free world.”
He offered them “a salute—and
the homage of a grateful nation.”

The week’s balance sheet be-
tween the good and bad news in
the hot and cold wars:
Good News
1. Secretary of State Dulles and
Mutual Security Administrator
Stassen undertook a whirlwind. 20-
day "fact-finding’’ tour of 12 Mid-
dle East and South Asia nations.
Aside from its announced purpose
the trip seemed to have two pri-
mary objectives. One was to im-
press the 12 nations with U. S.
friendship and its desire to under-
stand their problems. Stassen’s
presence also suggested they will
try to promote further the idea of
a middle east defense pact. Bitter,
local disputes, however, made their
assignment a difficult one.
2. Gen. Alfred Gruenther was
named to take over supreme com-
mand of NATO, replacing Gen.
Matthew B. Ridgway who was be-
ing recalled to tak? over a l). S.
Army chief of staff. European
members of NATO hailed the ap-
pointment of Gruenther who is
known for his diplomacy and tact,
as well as for being a brilliant of-
ficer. Gruenther said that supply
and building up the NATO air arm
would be his greatest problems. He
also would have to persuade lag-
ging NATO members to speed their
defense efforts.
3. A United States critiesm of
the French war effort in Indo-Chi-
na has been the French failure to
adapt methods to the Communist
enemy’s guerrilla warfare laetirs

Cooler And More
Moisture Forecast
WASHINGTON, May 16-UP—
The U. S. Weather Bureau’s 30-
day outlook from mid-May to mid-
June:
“Temperatures to average be-
low seasonal normals west, of the
Mississippi with greatest depar-
tures over the southern plateau and
southern Rocky Mountain states.
“Above normal temperatures are
predicted for the eastern third of
ihe nation with greatest departures
in the northeast.
“Precipitation is expected to ex-
ceed normal over most of the area
between the Great Divide and the
Appalachians. Subnormal amounts
are indicated along the Atlantic
seaboard and not far from normal
amounts over the Far East.”
Senator Calls For
I Ike and Churckili
Strategy Parleys
WASHINGTON, May 16-UP —
Sen. H. Alexander Smith appealed
Friday for an early “big two” con-
ference between President Eisen-
hower and Prime Minister Winston
[Churchill to close the U.S. - British
rift over Korean war policy.
The New Jersey Republican, a
senior member of the Senate for-
eign relations committee, said the
two leaders should get together ei-
ther in Washington or London as
soon as possible to “establish a
common Anglo-Anv?riean position
in Asia, just as we have done in
Western Europe."
lie told a reporter the “most
pressing single issue” lo be threash-
ed out at a big two meeting "is our
justified concern that Britain will
back Communist China’s entry into
Ihe UN as part of a peace settle-
ment in Korea.” He urged Mr. Ei-
senhower to tell the British “that
is something we could not tolerate.”
Smith deplored the "exchange of
epithets at transatlantic range”
which has strained U.S. - British
relations during the past week, and
said the situation has deteriorated
to the point where dramatic moves,
such as an Eisenhower-Churchill
meeting, are needed to save the
day.
Sen. John Sherman Cooper <R-
Ky.), a former U.S. delegate to
the United Nations, also called
for “moderation” on both sides. He
said the “rash remarks” of recent
days had jeopardized chances for
a Korean Truce and it was time
for all parties concerned to calm
down.
SANTA FE HELPS
GALVESTON, May 16-UP—
Fred G. Gurley, president, said
Saturday the Sanle Fe Railroad
was making a $5,000 contribution
lo aid in ihe reconstruction ol tor-
nado-battered Waco and San Ange-
lo.
A check for that amount will be
presented the American Red Cross’
Texas disaster relief fund for those
two cities, he said.
was a hero of the French resis-
tance movement. His most recent
job was commander of NATO's
central European land forces.
Bad News
1. Britain’s Prime Minister Win-
ston Churchill stirred up a hornet’s
nest with his proposal for a limit-
ed and secret big power meeting
with Russia. The proposal itself
was criticized as untimely in the
United tates and criticism moved
into crescendo with another speech
in British Commons—ths one by
Former Prime Minister Clement
Attlee, a Laborlte. Attlee attacked
the division of power between the
U. S. President and Congress and
took the position that the U. S. Con-
stitution was out of date. Reaction
in the United States was immedi-
ate and angry. Anglo-American re-
lations were not improved.
2. Part of the resentment against
Churchill arose from his assertion
that the latest Communist proposal
for a Korean truce could provide
the framework of agreement on
peace, providing Ihe Reds were
sincere. The United States view
was that he put the cart before the
horse. In Washington, the attitude
was “let the Reds agree to an hon-
orable peace in Korea, and than let
ua taka up other world problem*.
Washington held to Its demand* for
deed* not words, as opposed to
Churchill’* plea for "Intimacy."
S. Meanwhile. Britain had other
troubles which threatened to pass
from the realm of words to that of
violent deeds. Britain and Egypt
once more were deadlocked on
Egyptian demands that Britain sur-
render the Suez Canal. Egyptian
leaders talked of war to the death
against the British “imperallsts.”
Britain moved in naval comman-
dos from Malta to reinforce its
Suez garrison—already 80,000 men
strong.
Air Force Cuts
Meet Opposition
WASHINGTON, May 16-UP -
Oklahoma’s senators said Friday
Congress may not go along with
the administration’s proposed
sharp cut in Air Force planes,
which cancelled work at the Clin-
ton. Okla., air base.
If Congress balks at CUTTING T
Air Force from its 143-wing goal
back to a 120-wing program, they
said, there may be a need for the
14 bases on which the Air Force
cancelled construction work Thurs-
day.
Sen. A. S. Mike Monroney 1D-
Okla.i said this was the main hope
for the Clinton, Okla., Air Force
base.
Monroney said hi had been op-
posed all along lo the administra-
tion’s .cutback in Air Force plans,
and said many other members of
Congress oppose the slash. At least
until the appropriation bill for such
air base work is passed, he said,
there is some hope for the $13.5
million project at Clinton.
Aides of Sen. Robert S. Kerr (D-
Okla.t said he hopes to team with
other interested senators to light
the cut.
A spokesman for Kerr said “the
situation looks dark now. . . but
many members of Congress feel
the Air Force should not be cur-
tailed.”
GODFREY IMPROVING
BOSTON, May 16—UP—Arthur
Godfrey’s condition was described
by hospital authorities Saturday as
"absolutely satisfactory" following
the first of two intricate operations
to re-build his hip joints.
The hospital bulletin said when
Godfrey came out of the anaesth-
esia Friday ho turned to a nurse
and murmured:
“Bless you all.”
BOYS COMING HOME
PUSAN, Korea. May 16-UP—
Almost 2,000 cheering American
soldiers sailed Friday for home in
the first direct shipment of troops
lrom this Korean port.
Under the direct rotation pro-
gram, which went into effect May
1, soldiers will get home sooner
because rotation processing in Ja-
pan is eliminated.
Ik* Will Sign
Tideland Bill
WASHINGTON, May 16—UP—
The White House announced Satur-
day that President Elsenhower will
sign on Monday a bill giving coast-
al states title to the so-called tide-
lands.
Former President Truman suc-
cessfully vetoed similar legislation
twice—in 194S and 1948.
The announcement that Mr. Ei-
senhower will sign the measure
Monday was made by White House
Press Secretary James C. Hagerty
from aboard the presidential yacht
Williamsburg on which the Presi-
dent is cruising in Chesapeake
Bay.
The bill gives coastal states ow-
nership of submerged lands out to
their historic boundaries—three
miles for most states but 10'<4 miles
for Texas and western Florida.
tCongressional action on the
measure was completed Wednes-
day when the House accepted the
version passed by the Senate.
Meanwhile. Congress is working
on new tldelands legislation—a
measure dealing with exploitation
of mineral resources of the conti-
nental shelf beyond state bound-
aries. In some places, the shelf
extends as much as 150 miles spa-
