U. S. Officials Again
Optimistic For Chances
For European Army
WASHINGTON, Iff)—The long
stalled European army, projected
as the military heart of western
defense against Russia, is report
ed by high officials here to be
moving off dead center at last.
During the summer, State De
partment opinion took a gloomy
line, but now it is strongly op
timistic about chances for saving
the plan to add the strength of an
armed Western Germany to the
strength of the West.
United States policy has been
built on the assumption that Ger
man forces are an essential part
of an effective defense of Western
Europe.
The proposal took treaty form
in May 1952, calling for a Euro
pean Defense Community which
would put French, German and
other troops into a common army.
France provided this formula for
getting German strength while
guarding against revival of Ger
man militarism.

screaming, rock-throwing demon

An Indian spokesman said sev

The Indian command said that
about 500 North Koreans in cus
tody of the neutral Nations Re
patriation Commission hurled
stones and tried to scale a barbed
wire fence while demonstrating
against a visit by Polish and
Czech commission members.
“When the situation grew so
serious that the local commander
thought the lives of the Indian
troops and N.N.R.C. members
were threatened, he ordered his
guards to fire single shots,” said
Brig. Gen. V. M. Kaul.
The Indian general said the
demonstration began shortly after
11 a.m. and ended about noon. He
said the Koreans quieted down
immediately after the shots were
fired.
Kaul said patients in the hos
pital “created disturbances” as
five doctors from the commission
entered for an inspection tour.
“Then some POWs in the near
by compound began to shout,
throw stones and scale the barbed
wire . . .” Kaul said.
“If a mass escape had taken
place our troops might have been
overrun,” he added.

UNIMAK I. VOLCANO
ANCHORAGE, UP) — Mt. Shish
aldin, a 9,978 foot volcano on Uni
mak Island, 850 miles southwest
of Anchorage, has been erupting
red hot lava for the past three
weeks, it was reported here Wed
nesday.
Howard Wakefield, member of
an Alaska Fisheries Board meet
ing at Juneau, said he viewed the
eruption from the deck of the
trawler Deep Sea on both the
Bering and Pacific Ocean sides.
Wakefield described the lava
flow as “like a strawberry sun
dae, complete with topping.” He
said the blowoff was much more
violent than those at Mts. Tri
dent and Spurr, in Mt. Katmai
National Monument, during the
month of July.
Ashes from the Trident and
Spurr eruptions sifted into streets
and towns in a large area of Alas
ka and some were detected high

Wakefield said the Shishaldin
flow still was going strong last
