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.

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.

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." Inside 4—Wayfarer on "Old-lime Songs" 5—S.S.

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.

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." Inside 4—Wayfarer on "Old-lime Songs" 5—S.S.
