U.S. Reacts Cooly
To Russian Proposal
GENEVA (M)--The Soviet Union
marshaled its Communist allies
yesterday in a diplomatic drive to
get nuclear-free zones established
in Europe
Western sources said the pro-
posals in the 177-nation disarma-
ment conference were aimed at
West Germany, Greece and Tur-
key, key members of the North
Atlantic alliance bordering Soviet-
allied nations.
The United States cold-should-
ered the suggestions. But the
atom-free concept drew some nods
of approval from among delegates
of the eight non-aligned nations
at the table and expressions of
support from two of them-India
and Ethiopia.
Polish Foreign Minister Adam
Rapacki 'and Soviet Deputy For-
eign Minister Valerian A. Zorin
urged the conference to adopt the
Communist measures on a speedy
basis.
Brushing this aside, United
States Ambassador Arthur H.Dean
called instead for quick agreement
on measures to halt the production1
of nuclear arms and to reduce thej
possibility of war by surprise at-
tack or accident.,
Subsequently, the conference
instructed Dean and Zorin, as co-
chairmen, to agree on a first-
things-first work program.
Communist delegates- advanced
two related ideas on atom-free
zones.
The first was a modernized ver-
sion of Rapacki's five-year-old
plan to eliminate "nuclear weap-i
ons and nuclear delivery vehicles"
in Poland, Czechoslovakia and East
and West Germany..
Western experts believe a primec
aim is to pry .West Germany out#
of NATO and roll Western Eu-
rope's defensive shield back almoste
to the Atlantic.
The second idea was advanced
by Romanian Foreign Ministers
Cornelu Manescu, who proposed at
nuclear-free zone in Southeastf
Europe, where Greece and Turkeys
are involved.x

STEEL TALKS:
Report Basic Accord
On Terms of Contract
PI'TSBURGH (P-Negotiators reportedly reached basic agree-
ment yesterday on a new, two-year steel industry labor contract on
terms described as consistent with President John F. Kennedy's call
for continued wage-price stability.
Chief bargainers for the major steel companies and the steel-
workers union were said by reliable Washington sources to have
reached their agreement subject to ratification by union committees

Satellite Bill
Given Approval
WASHINGTON (A') - The pub-
lic would be allowed to buy half
ownership of a'proposed new com-
munications satellite corporation
under legislation approved yester-
day by the Senate Space Commit-
tee.
The other half would be sold to
companies already in the commu-
nications business.
The bill was a down-the-middle;
split of differences between Presi-
dent John F. /Kennedy's request
for full public ownership and an
all-company ownership proposal
by Sen. Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla).

" that were called into session here
Saturday.
No Pay Increase
The pact is said to call for
around 10 cents an hour in im-
provements in vacation, pension
and supplemental unemployment
benefits-but without an immedi-
ate pay increase. The 430,000 in-
dustry workers presently earn an
average $3.28 an hpur.
Provision is made for reopening
the contract for wage increase ne-
gotiations at the end of the con-
tract's first- year.
General Agreement
R. Conrad Cooper, chief industry
negotiator, indicated that a gen-
eral agreement had been reached.
He said, however, there had been
no formal settlement and that
much negotiating work remained
to be done.
Kennedy's call for an early set-
tlement-without a strike and one
consistent with maintaining wage-
price stability and confined to the
scope of productivity increases -
appears to have been met.
It was indicated that the vaca-
tion provisions may contain some
surprises. The union has been
calling for several months paid
sabbatical leaves periodically for
long-service employes.

trial.
Stay Calm
Syria's five million people were
warned, to remain calm, that force
would be used to crush any dis-
turbance. Frontiers were sealed.
A 10 p.m.-5 a.m. curfew was
clamped on the country. Telephone
communications were cut.
The high command reiterated
that its objectives include "the es-
tablishment of constructive Arab
socialism" at home, and, in foreign
affairs, positive neutrality and
nonalignment combined with Arab
unity on a clear basis, "especially
with beloved Egypt and brotherly
Iraq."
'Usurped Land'
"All Arab efforts and'potential
should be mobilized to liberate and
recover the usurped (Israeli)
land," the army said.
Koudsi, a moderate rightist in-
augurated last Dec. 14, got to serve
out little more than three months
of his five-year term. A former
premier who served in 1944 as
Syrian ambassador to Washing-
ton, he was ousted along with the
cabinet headed by Premier Mar-
ouf Dawalibi.
The 17-man constituent assem-
bly elected Dec. 1 was dissolved.
It had been dominated by con-
servatives generally opposed to so-
cialist measures instituted when
Syria was a part of the UAR.
An army statement charged:
-The deposed leaders and leg-
islators "worked only for their own
personal interests."
--They cracked down on "the
rights and gains of the country's
peasantry" and ordered many of
them, off their land in favor of
landlords.
Discuss Plan
On Civil Rights
LANSING (M-A proposal call-
ing on the Legislature to establish
a state civil rights commission was
debated for five hours yesterday
in the Constitutional Convention.
Delegates were still considering
amendments to the provision when
they adjourned until this'morning.
The proposed section provides
that if the Legislature fails to act
in setting up the commission with-
in two years after adoption of the
new constitution, the governor
would then do so by executive or-
der.

'Medical Group
To Back Plan
On Health Aid
WASHINGTON (P) - Twenty-
seven physicians formed a volun-
tary committee yesterday to rally
doctors behind President John F.
Kennedy's plan for health care
for the aged under Social Secur-
ity.
The doctors also took some
healthy swipes at the American
Medical Association, major foe of
the Kennedy plan.
Most of the doctors are AMA
members, but not all, and the ex-
tent of physician non-support of
the AMA was cited by Dr. Caldwell
B. Esselstyn, medical director of
the Rip Van Winkle Clinic at Hud-
son, N.Y., and president of the
Group Health Association of
America.
