Western Powers Study Russian Atom Proposals
United Nations, N. Y. —(U,P) Western officials today hopefully but cautiously studied Russia's latest atomic control and arms rejection proposals.
Washington experts were hopeful that the Soviet plan, outlined yesterday before the United Nations, would restore Vishnyk's containment an indication
The Soviets at last were ready to agree to foolproof disarmament.
American officials said that the Soviet proposal appeared to be a step forward from the Kremlin's previous unyielding stand on disarmament. The officials said the proposal would be studied at length before any reply was made.
Basically, Vishinsky's proposal was:
1. All countries would freeze their armaments and armed forces, and their military appropriations, at the level of Dec, 31, 1953.
2. They would then agree on a "substantial reduction"—Russia previously has insisted on a one-third across-the-board reduction—of their armed strength and their military expenditures.
3. Within six months—or one year, Vishinsky said, alternatively—the armed strength and appropriations would be cut one-half of the agreed reduction.
4. A temporary control commission would be established to receive necessary information on armed strength and its reduction.
5. In the next six months—or one year—all countries would complete the armaments and appropriations reduction by the full, agreed proportion.
6. "Atomic, hydrogen and other types of weapons of mass destruction" would at that time be completely prohibited.
7 A "permanent international organ of control" would be established at that time, simultaneously with the ban on nuclear weapons. This organ would have control over the observance of the disarmament treaty, "on the prohibition of atomic, hydrogen and other types of weapons of mass destruction, the cessation of the manufacture of these types of weapons and their elimination from the armaments of states and the reduction of armaments, armed forces, and military expenditures."
Trieste Row Nearing End
Belgrade, Yugoslavia — (U.P.)-Italy and Yugoslavia have a greed on a settlement of "all main points" of their dispute over Trieste, a Yugoslav foreign office spokesman said today.
He said President Tito's government was now "very optimistic" about the windup of the negotiations that have dragged on for nine months. Yugoslavia now considered that only "minor matters" remain to be cleaned up, he said.
Could Prove Embarrassing
Official spokesman Branco Draskovis told the regular weekly press conference the Trieste agreement can be expected to be concluded "in the nearest future."
Brookings, S.D.—(U.P.)-The presidents of the student associations at South Dakota State college and the University of South Dakota have bet their trousers on the outcome of the annual Dakota day football game. The loser is to doff his pants in the middle of the field after the game. Fellow students will form a screen while he strips.
Circus Time Is Thrill Time Fun for All
—Ransah paper by Larry Tretbori
Circus Capers: The Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey circus with elephants, humpty dumpy, and aerial artists thrilled a huge Lawrence audience last night at the 4-H fairgrounds. Spectators agreed the spectacle was the "greatest

show on earth."

Cars jammed the streets for blocks, and we waited impatiently, for we were going to the circus.
Damp Game with Buffaloes Looms, With Rain on Way
Then we saw the big top and the aisle of hot dog and cotton candy stands leading to it. Excitement drifted over the crowd, for banners proclaimed this the greatest show on earth.
A whistle screamed. The band started playing furiously and everything began happening at once. Tigers, tight rope walkers, chimpanzees, and clowns performed. Wide-eyed, we watched them all.
Anxiously waiting inside, we crunched peanuts—which seemed necessary—and watched workmen make final touches.
Aerialists in the top of the tent did stunts we wouldn't try—even on the ground. The juggler finally got the cream pitcher on top of his stack of cups and saucers, and our torn program was proof of the struggle.
At last our favorites, the elephants, came lumbering into the three rings with bedecked riders. The circus now seemed complete and we settled back for the specialties.
The forecast for eastern Kansas is cloudy this afternoon, partly cloudy tonight and tomorrow with scattered showers. In preparation for a possible downpour, the athletic department has placed a tarpaulin on the field in the stadium.
Light showers may make for a damp Saturday in Lawrence and a wet football game with the Colorado Buffaloes.
Then it was over. Before the big top was cleared of its crowd, workmen were packing it for the trip south. Happily we returned to the slow-moving stream of cars—for we had seen the circus.
Temperature range in the state will be a low tonight of 45 to 55. A Minerva, Ohio, area girl was killed and three members of her
family injured when the twister demolished their home. Near Tulsa, three airplanes were destroyed and four others were damaged. Heavy rains measuring four inches or more belted parts of Oklahoma.
Heavy rains fell elsewhere in the South. A cool wave from Canada dropped temperatures 5 to 15 degrees and pushed the mercury to the mid-20s in Montana. The cool air stretched from the Great Lakes southward over the central plains and into the northern Rocky mountain and western states.
Reich Sovereignty DueforRestoration
London—(U.P).The United States, Britain, and France agreed in principle today to issue a declaration of intent to restore West German sovereignty and to relax their occupation even before full sovereignty is effective.

Plans are complete and the University is ready to greet Kansas newspaper editors and the parents of new students who will visit the campus tomorrow.
- Informed sources said the three occupying powers agreed to make only limited use of the occupation statute after this nine-power conference is ended. This would ease the occupation even before West Germany becomes an independent nation.
Authoritative sources said the conference already had agreed to give the supreme commanded of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization powers to enforce European armaments controls.
The allied concession was designed to give Chancellor Konrad Adenauer some immediate freedom to report to his countrymen. It will be contained in a declaration of intent by the Big Three Western allies that is expected to be proclaimed at noon tomorrow.
Double Fete Set Saturday
Only a minor technical detail that could be cleaned up in short order remained after the Big Three foreign ministers met on the sovereignty question.
The full rearmament conference met to complete agreement on a formula for controlling European armaments, including those of a sovereign West Germany.
The Big Three declaration of intent was said to stipulate the allied aims on giving the federal republic sovereignty. It will produce an "immediate effect" by preventing certain allied measures now being taken under the occupation statute from being carried out without prior German consent, the sources predicted.
They said the ministers worked in an "extremely cooperative spirit."
The full conference session met after the United States, Britain, France, and Germany held an extended session to thrash out final details restoring sovereignty to Germany.
The parents will be guests at open houses in all schools and departments from 9 a.m. to noon. They will be received at an informal coffee in Spooner-Thayer museum at 10 a.m. by the chancellor, the dean of students, and the deans of men and women.
Buffet luncheons will be served in organized houses and the Student Union cafeteria before the parents view the Colorado game and half-time ceremonies in their honor.
The annual Kansas Editors' day at which the journalistic historical center will be opened, will begin with registration in the Memorial Reading room at 8:30 a.m. Wharton Hoch, editor and publisher of the Marion Record-Review and president of the Kansas Press association, will preside at the traditional wrangle session at 10 a.m.
At the general session Dean Burton W. Marvin of the School of Journalism will announce the name of the deceased Kansas editor elected to the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame. The editors will be guests of Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy at luncheon in the Student Union cafeteria and of the Athletic association at the football game.
