he said, thal. one-sided weak-i
ness does not promote peace. !
“We will remain strong un
less the Soviet Union by its ac
tion restores confidence and
joins in measures which make
it wise and sound to reduce our
armed forces.”
Molotov said that if the Big
Four would agree now not to
use atomic weapons against
each other and would call on
other powers to do likewise “it
would make this Geneva con
ference a historic landmark.”
In his initial blow at, Eisen
; hower’s plan and the Western
j position in general. Molotov
i said it is sometimes suggested
that the disarmament issue be
settled by working out first the
problem of controls. But this
means, Molotov asserted, “sub
stituting an endless discussion
on controls for a reduction in
armaments while the arms race
increases and the danger of
atomic war hangs over the
world.”
The three Western powers in
trodueed their own proposal
for disarmament. It Called for
four power agreement on “re
nuncialtion of the use of nu
clear weapons and all other
weapons in any manner incon
sistent with the charter of the
United Nations and “the need
to arrive at limitations and re
ductions of armaments and of
armed forces.”
The Western plan proposes
that (the four powers:
“(A) Agree promptly to put
into early operation, in order
to prevent a surprise attack:
“(1) A plan for exchanging
military blueprint is and aerial
inspection on the basis of the
proposal of the president of the
United States of July 21. 1955,
and /
“(2) A plan for establishing
control post s at key points, as
suggested in the proposals of
the chairman of the council o'f
ministers of the U.S.S.R. of
of July 21, 1955,
“(B) Should also agree:
“(1) To arrange for the ex
change and publication of in
formation regarding military
expenditures and budge s, as
suggested in the proposals
nade by the prime minister of
France on July 22, 1955. and
‘X2) To study how best to]
*aiin practical experience re- (
yarding the problems Of inspec
ion and control, as suggest ed

Jnited Kingdom on July 21,

ners:
Oklahoma over Iowa State:
toy force of halbit.
Maryland over Clemson:
This game completes Mary
land’s Atlantic coast confer
ence season and a victory vir
tually assures the Terps of an
Orange Bowl I .rip. Clemson

It likely will this time, but
not enough.
Michigan State over Minne
sota: Earl Morrall to guide the
Spartans to another Big Ten
victory — and a possible Rose

UCLA over Washington: By
a bigger margin than lest sea
son’s 21-20 squeaker.
Notre / Dame over North
Carolina: The Irish have it,
easily.
West Virginia over Pitts
burgh: The Mountaineers have
promised to avenge that 13-10
setback by Pitt a year ago.
Michigan over Indiana: But
it will be closer than a couple
on a park bench early in June.
Texas Christian over Texas:
The winner will be he host in
the Cotton Bow].. Jim Swink
to be the difference.
Ohio State over Iowa: The
Buckeyes are too numerous,
i Georgia Tech over Alabama

only five touchdowns in sev
en games.
Auburn over Georgia: In the
belief that Joe Childress will

ed on two successive weekends
They’ll break loose this time.
Mississippi over Houston:
The Reibels have played the
more rugged foes.
FOOTBALL PICKS FOR
PACIFIC COAST
by Chris Edmonds
SAN FRANCISCO (JP) A
guy who studies football scores
is nothing but a nut. He could
get the Scores much closer if
he kept his eyes tight shut.
Which is a doggerel way of
saying that last week’s fore
cast attempted produced 15
winners out of 22 guesses and
an admission that you could
do as well this week by flip
ping a coin. So here goes:
UCLA over Washington by
27: Prestiige is at stake in this
one and he Bruins like that
No. 4 ranking, plus the fact
they can fatten their lead in
the team scoring derby with
an all-out performance. UCLA
27-0.
Oregon State over Califor
nia by 13: Three fa^t Beaver
backs are better than two
Bear speedsters and thd Cor
vallis kids sort of like that
rareilfied position up near the
top of the PCC standings. Ore
gon Si ate 27-14.
Stanford over Orelgon by 7: j

NEW YORK (/P) The first
reaction to the Boston Red Sox
Washington Senator nine-play
er swap wiais 'Lhiat Calvin Grif
fith got plenty of nothin, as
they say, and that Joe Cronin
should stake out a claim on the
new Nat boss as he saw him
first.
On the surface it did seem
the Red Sox .general manager
had found a gold mine, inas
much as he was getting “name”
players of recognized ability
for athletes still in the “may
be” category.
iMickey Vernon or Bob Por
terfield alone would seem to be
worth a quaruet made up of
pitchers Didk Bradowski, Tru
man Clevenger and A1 Curtis
and outfielders Karl Olson and
Neil Chrisley. So when the Sox
got not only Porterfield and
Vernon, but Johnny Schmitz
and Tom Umphlet as well, you
began to wonder wheiber the
announcement that no money
was involved was a typograph
ical error.
On reasonably sober reflec
tion. however, the reasoning of
Griffith and his manager,
Charley Dressen, takes on a re
asonable quality.
In the first place ..he Sena
tors obviously weren't going
anywhere with what they had.

The Bar an of Conference, long
known for sits topsy-turvy bas
ketball. appears talent laden
ifrom top to bottom this year
and the campaign begins with
out, a seemingly clear-cut fav
orite. They’re drawing fine lines
between the likely leaders in
the rugged conference this sea
son and it’s a little more diffi
cult than usual to draw sharp
distictions between the giants
in this Island city.
But through it all, the popu
lar consensus is that the team
that: will have to be watched
more closely than in recant
seasons, is Sheldon Jackson.
Once the symbol of basketball
might in memorable years past,
the blue and gold are long-over
due for the explosion that uised
to rook every .'town and village
in the Southeastern region.
More optimistic than usual
ardent SJS followers are hop
ing that this is the year that
the Warriors (will finally get
back into the lime-light.
Blessed with seven return
ing le'ti.ermen, four of whom
were on last season’s starting
line-up, coach John Borbridge
will launch the 1955-56 cam
paign with a veteran squad
that includes seven seniors, 3
juniors and 2 sophomores.
Borbridge, who doesn’t be
lieve in the crying towel, is op
timistic in his team’s chances
for the forthcoming season and
states: “Although we won’t
have a home floor (all SJ1S
home games are to be played
at Sitka High this year) to call
our own, we will show up for
the games.” He added, 'the spir
