Rearmament Speed-Up Is Dulles’ Aim By JOSEPH E, DYNAN PARIS U.S. Secretary of State: Dulles flew to Paris today for. talks on speeding German rearmament and a NATO Council debate on a controversial plan to use atomic weapons in European defense. : Accompanied by other high American officials, Dulles left Washington yesterday. In a pre- pared statement emphasizing the defensive character of the NATO alliance, he said the free world would “neither be intimidated nor lulled into a false sense of secur- ity” by the Communists. Dulles was due to confer with French Premier Pierre Mendes- France shortly after landing. The two leaders were expected to dis- cuss ways of speeding ratification of the Paris agreements freeing and rearming West Germany and of getting that rearmament into high* gear once ratification 1s | achieved. | They will be joined by British Foreign Secretary Sir Anthony Eden for further talks tomorrow, on the eve of Friday’s opening »f the NATO Council’s annual review session, Accompanying Dulles were Treas- ury Secretary George Humphrey, Harold Stassen, foreign aid chief, and Livingston T. Merchant, assist- ant secretary of state for European affairs. Foreign, finance and de- fense ministers of the 14 NATO countries will participate in the two-day couicil meeting. In addition to the crucial atom plan debate, the council must. fix definite goals for each member country for 1955, agree on provi- sional goals for 1956 and on planned goals for 1957, The goals include the number of provisions, planes and other defense items each nation is to provide. The atomic issue came to the forefront as a result of a feeling increasing in European diplomatic circles that atomic weapons of any sort should not be used without prior approval of all NATO mem- ber governments, A “new look” plan, approved in principle by the NATO ministers last year, provided for the use of atomic weapons to counterbalance the Communist world’s heavy pre- dominance in manpower. Under the plan, new and spectacular weapons were to replace vast numbers of infantry. A plan submitted by Western chiefs of staff, sitting as NATO’s military committee, is believed to recommend that the choice of weapons in case of an attack fron the east be left to the supreme allied commander in Europe. That" post is now filled by U.S. Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther. Official French sources said yes- terday, hhewever, the European governments are in general agree- ment that the use of atomic weap- ons, even small tactical S,, should not be'left to the discretion of the military. They contendsthis must be.a policy decision sinée ‘t involves &: possible risk of re- prisal r. on Western cities. The military argument is that a would have to be countered quickly and fully if defense is to be effective, A commander could not wait for 14 governments to meet, debate. and decide. If atomic weapons are vetoed, the military men say, the West! will have to increase greatly the| strength of its forces. Any proposals to increase the Manpower quotas, however, are expected to meet strong opposition | from council members. Teen-Age N. Y. Thrill-Killers Face Life Terms ° NEW YORK #—Two Brooklyn youths were convicted of first-de- gree murder yesterday in the thrill slaying of a 34-year-old factory hand. An all-male Kings County jury recommended that Jack Koslow 18, and Melvin Mittman, 17, spend the rest of their lives in jail. They were found guilty of tor- turing Willard Menter in a Brook- lyn park last Aug. 17. The torture resulted in Menter’s drowning m the East River. Originally four youths had been indicted. One, of them, Robert | Trachtenberg, 15, previously was granted a separate trial and testi- fied for the prosecution. A first- degree murder charge against Jerome Lieberman, 17, was dis- | missed last week. He still faces a | manslaughter charge. | Koslow was depicted by the prosecution as leader of the gang | which roamed Brooklyn parks at, night, beating and torturing inno- | cent victims “for thrills.” | Attorneys for Koslow and Mitt- | man argued that Menter’s death ‘was not murder but resulted from a mischevious prank, They said | they would appeal the verdict. | The sentencing date has not been | set. { | Heat needed to melt ice would be | sufficient to raise the temperature | of the resulting water nearly 99 | Gegrees centigrade. \ Wednesday, December 15, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN BRN, CARLOS FOOD CENTER TOP QUALITY GRADE A— DRESSED AND DRAWN — ICE PACKED FRYERS = 34 U.S. GRADED TENDER — DELICIOUS RIB ROAST (CLUB STEAK | WT" a w..... 43 AMBROSIA Lean Meaty Dexter Sliced Spare Ribs « 34c/BACON - BETTY CROCKER ; a FRUIT CAKE A6c|PureLARD = 22c} 4tbs. §19.69 SWIFT'S re AKE Ral WHITE MARBLE, DEVILS FOOD, 5y- 34 mn Es HONEY SPICE, YELLOW « Corned BEEF SWIFT'S CORNED BEEF Hleasie 16 Oz.
