Churchill Claims Basic Western Talks With Reds Should Start From Military Strength By IRWIN SAFCHIK day, observers at nearby Cocoa 1 its target. I.N.S. Staff Writer "We arm to parley." With these words, Sir Winston Churchill once explained what might be considered the basic western philosophy in dealing with Russia: The free world cannot count on the Kremlin to talk peace unless: it is confronted with a military might that makes it suicidal to talk war.
Last week, in Paris, 15 western nations took steps to carry out that philosophy. The NATO "summit" conference decided to arm to parley. It agreed, at least in principle, to, the idea of placing Americanmade nuclear missiles on western European soil; and it agreed to "promote" further with Russia on the disarmament question. For the U.S. as well as for most of: the other 14 members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization- this was a compromise between the two divergent viewpoints that had threatened possible disintegration of the western alliance.
On one side was America's attitude that talking peace with Russia is useless and that the Soviets can only be dissuaded from aggression by the threat of almost instant retaliation from nuclear warheads aimed at her heart. On the other side was the feeling among many western European nations that they would be inviting Soviet attack by permitting the U.S. to use their territhe only hope for basese still lies tory for missile and that in reaching an arms control agreement with the USSR. Whether the statement of principles which emerged from the four-day summit conference will ever be translated into effective action remains to be seen. For example, it will be a long while before the U.S.
can even produce the missiles with which it wants to arm Europe. But there is little question that the heads-of-government meeting did succeed in raising NATO's morale: in reminding the 15 member nations that they are in the same boatniess vessel that could overturn all oars are pulled together. President Eisenhower was credited in large measure with accomplishing this semi As representative NATO's strongest partner, as a symbol of the free world's greatest military victory, he dominated the proceedings. Also focusing attention on Mr. Eisenhower was the fact that he had flown to Paris and was undertaking a back-breaking round of diplomatic and social activities less than a month after suffering a 'mild stroke.
Paris brooded over Ike like a mother hen, and at week's end, when he flew back to Washington, he was apparently in fine physical shape. This Monday night, he and Secretary of State Foster Dulles will report to the American people by radio and television on what was accomplished at the summit talks. Little more than 24 hours before Christmas Day, there will be an up-to-date assessment on the chances for peace on earth. There were no illusions in Paris; none in Washington and none on a sandy stretch of Florida coastline called Cape Canaveral about Russia's lead over the free world in missile developments. And.
in all three places, steps were being taken to catch up. At the summit conference. NATO decided to organize a scientific committee to spur the pooling of tech'nological know -how among member nations, In Washington, the Senate preparedness subcommittee, continued its hearings missile-satellite program, a searching investigation to determine why America lost its scientific lead to Russia and to correct any faults uncovered. The highlight of last week's testimony was the promise of Air Force Secretary James H. Douglas that the U.S.
will have "operational" intercontinental ballistic missiles within two years. at Cape Canaveral, the U.S. conducted its first successful test of an Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile. It traveled at least 500 miles and landed right smack on target. That was Tuesday.

'Wall Street Prices Decline During Week NEW YORK (INS) -Wall Street had little reason for Christmas bonuses to brokerage firm cheer this week. Prices declined for a third week, ployes were well below the 1956 payout, and there was no sign of the traditional year-end rally. which has lifted the market in December in 43 of the past 60 years, The continued decline reflected the increasing gloom over current business prospects. The Dow Jones Industrial average declined substantially on three days, and ended the week with a loss of $13.28. Rails fell $4.20 and dropped to a new low since January, 1954.
The utilities dipped 44 cents. Weakness In stocks was apparent soon after the opening Monday and disappointment over the slowdown, in steel production and auto sales left the list with losses of more than $3.5 billion. A similar setback followed Tuesday. when such leaders as S. Steel, Bethlehem, Royal Dutch and, General Motors all traded at new lows for the year.
A. recovery effort Wednesday ended with little gain, but a late buying spree lifted prices the next day. The week ended, however, with a slump Friday as Wall Street heard of plans a two-week shutdown of tutor divisions of Chrysler. federal reports Indicated the recession in progress. The Federal Reserve Board industrial production decreased in November for the third straight month.
The FRB index dropped to 139 per cent of the 1947-49 aver0ge-a full eight points under the record 147 posted last December. The Commerce Department then announced personal income last month fell to.a seasonably adjusted annual rate of $345.5 billion, a decline of $1.4 billion below the peak reached in August. It also was the third monthly drop in this figure. The railroads continued to report lagging freight carloadings with the most recent loss marking the 18th week in which the 1956 rate has not been matched. The carriers also took the first; procedural step towards another rate increase estimated at about three cent.
There was some optimism to be heard, however. Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell predicted the "cyclical adjustment" under way might taper off and the economy would see evidences of an upturn in the middle of 1958.
