SNEEZES UP BULLET
CHARLEVILLE, France (AP)—
Jules Pctileux, 73, was wounded in
thc head while fighting the Germans in 1911 But the wound never
bothered him and he bore it like
a soldier. Lately he suffered from
headaches which he attributed lo
somc obstruction in his nose or
throat. Last Sunday hc let go a
half dozen sneezes. Out came an
inch-long rifle bullet.
Manuna Kca Is a little higher,
but less bulky, than ils sister
Hawaiian volcano, JMauna Loa.
The British leader told thc House
of Commons his government and
he personally still stand ready to
mediate in the seven-ycar-long dispute lhat threatens the uneasy
peace of the Middle East. Hc
claimed he had tlie full support ol
the U. S. government in his quest
for a settlement,
Eden's statement—renewing an
offer first made Nov. 9—at once
touched off a prolonged opposition
assault on the substance of his
peace plan.
Four former ministers In thc
late Labor government joined in
the cut-and-thrust of the heated,
unscheduled debate. Each charged
fiercely that thc Eden mediation
proposal.? by definition mean that
the already liny Jewish slate would
have to surrender chunks of its territory to Arab countries which attacked it in 1948. Former war minister John Strachcy claimed half
of Israel's present territory appears to be at stake.
ARABS REACT
have reacted positively to his mediation otfer iu the course of private diplomatic exchanges.
Israeli leaders have rejected it
publicly. But, the aides claimed,
llie Jerusalem government privately lias indicated its interest in
using British good offices in the
search fur peace. The Israelis have
made it clear, however, lhey would
not accept the negotiating starling-
point which Eden has suggested.
The informants said Eden does
not have in mind—at least at this
time—a full-scale peace conferencf
between the Israelis and Arabs,
with Britain sitting in as mediator.
He is thinking more, they said,
of the negotiating technique used
so successfully by London and
Washington in bringing about 3
settlement of thc longtime Trieste
dispute between Italy and Yugo
slavia. Both parties to that quarrel did not face each other across
a (able but swapped views through
the British and U. S. governments.
Eden seems to think that thc Israelis and Arabs may in time be
Eden's own aides, meantime, re-  ready   to   dn the   same  sort  of
ported   that,   the   Arab  countries! thing.
Russia Turns Down
French   Arms   Plan
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (CP)
Russia threw cold water Thursday
on France's compromise disarmament plan and the apparent rejection came only 24 hours after
French delegate Jules Moch advanced the proposal.
Russia's Arkady Sobolev- told the
UN disarmament commission that
the compromise was tied in with
Western refusal .to avoid taking
concrete steps while restricting
talks to disarmament control.
The French plan called for a
preparatory period in which arms
inspection measures proposed by
President Eisenhower, Prime Minister Eden and Frances Premier
Edgar Faure would go into operation.
Succeeding stages would be built
round the Angle-French and Riis-I
sian plans for progressive cuts m
armed forces.
Sabolev said Moch's proposal
made no provision for disarmament itself and claimed it con*
firmed Russia's view that the Western powers havc retreated from
earlier positions.
Replying to Sobolev, Anthony
Nutting of Britain charged that
Russia was evading the key qucstion of amis control.
"In all the years wc have discussed this problem,' Nutling said,
*'wc havc never been able to gel
the Soviet Union to agree that machinery for controls must be set
up first." ,
ASKS   CONSIDERATION
He asked Russia to consider immediately thrce possibilities:
1. A plan for such disarmament
as can be carried out now.
2. A system of control to support
thc plan.
3. A pilot plan which could be
put into effect promptly and which
couldt be guaranteed as a precursor
to actual disarmament.
Canada's Health Minister Paul
Martin said, "thc Soviet Union has
shown little willingness lo come lo
grips with thc practical problem
of control."
Therc was no failure on Russia's
part to recognize the need for control, "but I, for one, have not been
able to understand why ... the
Soviet  Union  would  not be pre*
j pared to answer the whole series
I of questions put by Mr. Nutting and
] Mr. Moch, in particular."
;    Hc was referring1 to meetings ot
; thc   commission's   sub-committee,
whose  rcport the  commission  is
considering.
Martin expressed _ confidents,
however, that n disarmament
agreement can be reached and
asked that the sub-committee be
reconvened at the earliest possible
moment.

Admiral Byrd Forecasts System
Of   Antarctic   Strategic   Bases
WASHINGTON (AP) - Rear-
Admiral Richard E. Byrd said
Thursday hc expects thc forthcoming navy expedition to Little America will lead to a permanent system of U. S. bases in thc strategically   important   Antarctic.
The admiral, bound for his fifth
journey to the bottom of the world,
also said a Russian expedition is
setting up bases on the opposite
side of tlie Antarctic continent, in
a huge area virtually unexplored
up to this time.
WiU Russian and American scientists work together in this phase
of.thc "International geophysical
year"? he was asked at a press
conference.
"Oh, yes," said Byrd.
He added that in meetings at
Rome and Brussels, the Russians
expressed "great interest." One
Russian base will be at Knox!and,
approximately facing thc sculhcui
lip of Africa, another near thc geomagnetic pole several hundred
miles nwa>- from thc geographical
Soulh Pole and near thc centre of
the vast unexplored region, Byrd
said,
Thc various nations participating
in thc joint scientific studies will
have a total of 35 bases on the
Antarctic continent, Byrd said.
VILLAGE BURIED
The admiral reported that the
throe bases and part of another
which hc established in earlier expeditions, beginning In 1923, are
still in existence at Little America
—"contrary to popular beliet." But
the steady pile-up-of snow over the
years has put the first base under
about 40 feet ofs now, with another
Little America "village" covered
at about half that depth.
T0 a question" about the future
or tlie new bases, Byrd said: i
"I think this will bc a permanent I
thing from now on. I think this isj
the beginning of permanent bases,
permanent, little villages down;
therc. I don't think Little America
will be such a lonely place from
now on."
He was asked if hc thought Little
America had strategic value. His
answer was;
"If the Panama Canal should be
destroyed, our ships on the way to
the Pacific would have to go
around South America. (The edge
of tlie Antarctic area is only about
300 miles away.) We would have
control of that area."
As the world continues to shrink
because of far ranging and fast
flying aircraft, hc added "the Antarctic becomes of great strategic
value."
Eventually, Byrd said, there will,
be Ihe "opening up of a gn^t
continent, a place of great value
to generations to come of peace
loving people."
