Hint Compromise
Reached by Group
PARIS (JP)-Five Western pow-
ers yesterday handed their North
Atlantic allies loosely packaged
proposals for consideration prior
to the East-West disarmament
talks next week.
The Western plan was presented
to a special meeting of the NATO
permanent council by the United
States, Britain, France, Canada
and Italy.
After referring the plan to their
governments, the NATO perman-
ent representatives will meet again
Saturday for final discussion and
expected general approval. The
East-West talks begin Tuesday in
Geneva.-
Compromise Seen
The five Western powers arrived
at a compromise plan after a
series of experts' meetings in
Washington and Paris.
Although the proposals were
presented as a "commonly agreed"
document to the NATO council,
the French expressed reservations
on two points. The French reser-
vations and the plan itself were
not made public.
French sources said however,
that the final plan takes into
account certain French sugges-
tions which would permit "real
and substantial nuclear disarma-
ment." -
French Happy
The French were obviously hap-
py with the over-all outcome of
the negotiations, which apparently
went a long way in meeting their
concern in the nuclear question.
From the beginning the five
Western powers agreed in princi-
ple on a final goal of nuclear dis-
armament, but there had been a
distinct difference between France
and the other four powers on the
way toward this goal.
The French insisted that any
true disarmament plan must in-
elude measures for prompt de-
struction -of nuclear weapons
stocks and the vehicles to deliver
the weapons.
As long as the weapons and
such delivery means as missiles
and bombers exist, the French
said, disarmament would be an
empty word.
Favor Successive Steps
The United States and the other
three powers were said to have
favored a step-by-step approach,j
with preliminary stages including
the halting of nuclear tests.
Sources close to the French and
other delegations describedt thed
plan presented yesterday as aa
compromise on reconciliation of
these two approaches.
It was suggested that the West
is now prepared to give a higher
priority to the French contention
that nuclear stocks and vehiclest
should be tackled quickly in anyx
disarmament program.
The five Western experts will
meet in Geneva with experts from -
the Soviet Union, Poland, Czecho-
slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria.
The Russian position, laid down
by Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev
before the United Nations last
September, is for total disarma-
ment during a four-year period.
Short of this, Khrushchev called
for a number of part-way meas-
ures, including a denuclearized
zone in central Europe and a non-
aggression pact between the NATO
and the Russian-led Warsaw Pact
powers.

MARCH ON CAPITOL--Civil rights demonstrators held a rally outside the Capitol in Lansing
Wednesday to urge state civil rights legislation be extended to cover housing, public accommodations
and education. State Representative Lloyd Gibbs (R-Portland), chairman of the House committee
considering such bills, left the Capitol before the committee could vote on releasing the bills for debate.
In Mid-East
WASHINGTON (P)-Prime Min-
ister David Ben-Gurion carried
to President Dwight D. Eisenhower
yesterday Israel's hope that West-
ern nations would publicly pledge
to protect existing Middle East
frontiers.
Informed authorities said, how-
ever, it was highly unlikely the
United States would agree to such
a new declaration at this time.
Top officials were reported not
sharing Ben-Gurion's alarm about
Middle East developments includ-
ing recent Arab-Israeli clashes and
troop movements near Israel's
borders.
Meets with Ike
Ben-Gurion met with Eisen-
hower for two hours in the Is-
raeli's announced role as an un-
official visitor to this country.
He followed up the White House
meeting with a sweeping review
of the Mideast outlook with Un-
der Secretary of State Douglas
Dillon who substituted for an ail-
ing Secretary of State Christian
A. Herter.
The White House and Ben-
Gurion both declined to reveal
any details' of the talks. Ben-
Gurion said as he left Eisenhow-
er's office that they covered very
many world problems as well as
Israel-American relations.
Asked if he was encouraged,
Ben-Gurion told newsmen:
"One is always encouraged after
meeting a man like the President
of the United States."
No Restatement
Responsible United States of-
ficials said the State Department
is opposed to restating at this time
the government's opposition to any
possible new Middle East aggres-
sion.
Ben - Gurion reportedly wants
the United States, Britain and
France to reaffirm their 1950 dec-
laration which pledged action by
them in event of aggression against
present borders.
Western diplomats reportedly
believe any restatement at this
time would be viewed by the Arabs
as directed against them. This
might worsen conditions in the
region, it is felt.
As some 30 to 50 Arab students
sought to picket the White House,.
Ben-Gurion told Eisenhower of
his deep concern over what he
considers the dangerous drift of
events in the Middle East.
Eisenhower had been given in-
formation, prior to the meeting,
indicating that tensions have eased
in the past few weeks.
it..
William . M. Holaday . told the
House Space Committee he has
found his Job as head of a co-
ordinating committee between the
Defense Department and the Na-
tional Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration so discouraging he
is planning to leave government
service.
Eisenhower has recommended
the Civilian-Military Liaison Com-
mittee, which Holaday heads, be
abolished as no longer needed.
Holaday told the committee it
has never actually been, used and
that he opposes its elimination.
Called to Discussion
Holaday, formerly Pentagon di-
rector of guided missiles, was
called, before the space committee
in connection with Eisenhower's
proposed changes in the National
Space Act.
He read a statement expressing
only mild disapproval of some of
them, but under committee ques-
tioning he disclosed the depth of
his dissatisfaction.
Holaday said he disagrees
strongly with Eisenhower's re-
peated assertion that the civilian
and military space programs
should be conducted separately.
Greater Similarity
"The similarity between the pro-
grams is far greater than anyone
would be led to believe," he said.
Holaday urged that all space
research and development be un-
der one agency, preferably NASA.
Once the military use of a specific
project had been clearly estab-
lished, he said, it could be as-
signed to one of the services.
The present setup, he said, is
an invitation to a four-way fight
for funds, facilities anti brain-
power among the Air Force, Army,
Navy and NASA.
Asks Unity
"If we're to have an efficient
program, making the most use of
our manpower and money and
facilities," Holaday said, "it must
be a single program."
Secretary of Defense Thomas S.
Gates was asked about this state-
mnent by Holaday, and he told a
news conference he disagrees.
Holaday's testimony that the
civilian-military liaison committee
had been "bypassed and left to!
die on the vine" produced an angry
reaction among committee mem-
bers.
He drew criticism for not as-
serting the authority granted to
him as chairman, and the Defense
Department and NASA were
charged with violating at least
the intent of the law by failing to
make use of the committee.
Holaday said when he took over
as chairman last July the two
agencies had already relegated it
to a minor role and the statutory
authority given him was mean-
ingless.

FCC Head
Quits Post
In Dispute
WASHINGTON (M - John C.
Doerfer resigned yesterday as
chairman of the Federal Commu-
nications Commission.
He said he did so to spare Pres-
ident Dwight D. Eisenhower "pos-
sible embarrassment."
Eisenhower accepted the resig-
nation with a letter which thanked
Doerfer for tireless, loyal and ef-
fective service.
But the President also said he
believed Doerfer's decision to quitI
the FCC was "a wise one."
The resignation is effective next
Monday. Eisenhower designated a
member of the commission, Fred-
erick W. Ford of Clarksburg, W.
Va., to become chairman on the
following day.
Doerfer has been under fire in
Congress for accepting hospitality
from a radio-TV executive.
Doerfer told House investigat-
ors last week that he had been a
guest last month on the yacht of
George B. Storer, who holds FCC
licenses for five television and a
dozen radio stations.
Doerfer's resignation was an-
nounced at the White House.
James C. Hagerty, presidential
press secretary said D o e r f e r
talked with Eisenhower 20 to 30
minutes Wednesday during an
unpublicized visit to the White
House.

WASHINGTON WP) - It's hard,
even for word-happy Senators,
to talk day after day about noth-
ing but civil rights.
In the gentlest of times a Sena-
tor is apt to leap the oratorical
fences. When in filibutser, our in-
trepid heroes wander over land
and windsape.
This is the fourth week that we
have been, as Sen. Everett Mc-
Kinley Dirksen (R-Ill.), likes to
put it, ventilating the issues.
Sometimes the ventilation has
been informal.
Little Talk
For instance, the presiding offi-
cer usually has little, or nothing,
to say except something like this:
"Does the Senator yield, and,
if so, to whom?"
But as the night drones on, pre-
siding officers, possibly In an ef-
fort to stay awake, have taken
part in what is sometimes humor-
ously referred to as the debate.
Possibly the coziest scene of all
came while Sen. Robert C. Byrd
(D-W. Va.) was presiding,
Birthday Passes
His colleagues, Sen Jennings
Randolph (D-W. Va.), was cele-
brating his birthday. Not just his
birthday, but since it was 3:14
a.m., the exact moment of his
birth, 58 years ago.,
The few Senators present of-
fered up-to-the-minute congratu-
lations.
Randolph thanked his early
morning well wishers.
"I devoutly remember my
mother and father," he said. "No
son ever possessed more devoted
and helpful parents."
Long Wait
Byrd, as you may have noticed,
presided over the Senate without
a break for 21 hours and eight
minutes. Regrettably, little public
attention has been paid this re-
markable record
Sen. Russell B. Long (D-La.),
in congratulating Byrd on his en-
durance feat, seemed to be say-
ing that the only thing worse
than carrying on a filibuster is
listening to it.
P i 11 b u s t e r s rarely produce
sparkling repartee.
One of the last so far came in
the form of a question from Sen.
John L. McClellan (D-Ark.)
Sen. Russell Long asked: "The
Senator knows, does he not, that
there isa proposal to place the
federal government in the busi-
ness of trying to prevent any sort
of hate bombing?"
"Prevent what?" McClellan said.
"Hate bombing."
"What other kind of bombing
is there?" McClellan asked.

Brown Sees
Little Hope
For Convict
SACRAMENTO -Gov. Edmund
Brown, "deeply sorry" over failure
of his proposal to abolish capital
punishment, said yesterday he is
powerless to save Caryl Chessman
from his scheduled May 2 execu-
tion.
Brown said "the regular sched-
ule of execution will continue,"
after the legislature adjourned its
special session on the death pen-
alty.
Brown called the session Feb.
19, to give the legislature time to
debate abolition of the death pen-
alty. Later, he temporarily re-
prieved three other men on death
row.
