.S. Wants a UN Education Plan Backed
U.S. Wants a UN Police Force to Preserve Peace
GENEVA — (UPI) — The United States called today for establishment of an international police force within in the United Nation's framework to preserve world peace after national arms and armies are slashed.
Frederick M. Eaton, U.S. delegation chief, made the proposal at the opening session of a 10-nation disarmament conference.
The controlled Soviet press rejected as "dim" and "incomprehen-sible" a bold, cheat-proof arms plan offered by five western nations.
THE AMERICAN proposal was designed to supplement this three-stage western disarmament plan, presented earlier to the East-West nations meeting for the first time in nearly three years to break a 15-year-disarmament deadlock.
Before the end of the first session, which lasted nearly two hours, the delegates heard a message from Soviet Premier Nikita Krushev boosting his own plan for "general and complete disarmament" as the best means of eliminating wars forever. He promised Russia would make every effort to break the longstanding deadlock and praised his own scheme as the best means.
"There must come into being, as national armaments diminish, an international force within the framework of the United Nations to preserve the peace," Eaton said.
HE SAID it must be "a force to insure that the seeds of conflict do not mature to the point where small nations less endowed with the elements of national power, or even large nations, would be threatened by a more powerful and more highly organized state."
"The establishment of such a force will be fraught with great difficulties, but how much more difficult and unhappy the alternative—the continuing mounting diversion of the efforts, energies and lives of men to the production of the means of their own self-destruction," Eaton said.
The American delegate said the purpose of the Geneva talks was to establish "a world of peace under law" but he stressed that "a disarmed world is not necessarily a secure world" and "we must design a plan broad and promising in scope and yet realistic in conception."
Eaton once more emphasized the western viewpoint that "there shall be no disarmament without commensurate inspection." He said it may take patience to work this out and "our speed will be determined by the willingness of states to permit verification of fulfillment of their commitments."
"We would only deceive ourselves and those millions who are hungering for peace . . . if we were to place our names on some grand but hollow design, some ambitious but unenforceable scheme, some unrealistically timed program of disarmament," he said.
Integration Attempt Ends With Arrests
ATLANTA — (UPI) — A group of Negroes attempted to integrate a lunch counter in the Georgia state capitol today and were arrested by state troopers.
An anonymous telephone call to United Press International said a number of other white eating places in Atlanta would be the objects of sitdown attempts by Negroes.
Employment Rises
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The number of Americans holding jobs last month increased to a February record of 64,520,000 while unemployment dipped slightly below 4,000,000, the government announced today.

allowing for a 7 per cent increase in salaries for administrators and teachers. The figure was proposed by the state board of regents. Gov. Docking had originally proposed 3 per cent raises for faculty members and none for administrators.
The legislative budget session failed to override a veto of Gov. Docking on a bill to provide 3.9 million dollars for an accelerated building program at state colleges and universities. This included appropriations of $1,450,000 for an engineering building at KU.
MR. KELLER SAID that Kansas colleges and universities "are losing staff at a rate 60 per cent greater than is true for the nation as a whole" and consequently, are relying heavily on part-time staff.
Strong recruitment programs will be necessary "to maintain and improve present quality of staff, part-time as well as full-time." he said.
The 20 per cent increases would bring faculty salaries in Kansas into line with comparable ones in the rest of the country, he said.
HE RECOMMENDED that once Kansas establishes itself favorably on the salary level, further increases be given to maintain the position.
He said Kansas' major problem in holding qualified staff is "low salaries offered by all Kansas colleges, particularly the private colleges."
He also said that retirement programs at the schools of higher learning are "inadequate" and urged
adoption of a funded retirement plan.
Turning to the recommendation for improved plant facilities, Domian said that "space requirements in some colleges are already short."
Some savings can be made through lengthening the college day and week, using less popular periods and greater filling of sections and other such scheduling gimmicks but "the limit to such gain is not large," he said.
KELLER SAID the major burden of higher education in Kansas will have to be carried by the state institutions and the municipal universities.
He said the Board of Regents should be recognized as the "central controlling agency" for higher education in Kansas.
Some additional revenue could be found in increased tuition and fees but those must be accompanied by additional student aids, he said.
