FOREST FIRES
RAGING ALONG
YUKON RIVER
ANCHORAGE, WV-A vast
forest fire in western Alaska,
thought extinguished by heavy
rains last week, was reported yes
terday to have broken out again
and spread in size to 78,000 acres.
Forestry Service planes spotted
the new outbreak. Observers es
timated the fire, near the village
of Nulato on the Yukon River,
had mushroomed over 18,000
more acres of land since the latest
flareup. Russ Bagley, district fire
officer, said crews would be sent
to fight the blaze when it reached
a point accessible by boat or by
plane.
Another forest fire, covering
15,000 acres in the Huslia River
area, burst through control lines
yesterday. Forty-seven fire fight
ers battled it to bring it in check
again.
A small fire one mile down
river from Fort Yukon was con
trolled by a 15-man crew.

MAN, 73. DISCOVERS A
'BOSOM COMPANION'
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., l*V—
Patent attorney Frank Liverance,
73, of Olivet, discovered this week
that he still carries a bullet in his
chest from a .22 rifle accident
some 59 years ago.
“I doubt whether I’ll have it
removed—it’s been my bosom
companion all these years,” he
said today.

movements a second; of a wasp,

Gromyko Makes
Concession to West
In Disarmament
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., l#>—
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Andrei Gromyko yesterday ac
cepted .the ceilings for armed
forced proposed by the Western
powers for the first stage of dis
armament.
Speaking before the U:N. Dis
armament Commission, Gromyko
dropped the Soviet Union’s in
sistence on lower ceilings. He also
proposed an aggreement to stop
nuclear bomb tests, eliminate
stock piles of such bombs, end
their production and ban their
use.
But he still refused to accept
President Eisenhower’s plpn for
aerial inspection of armed facili
ties to guard against surprise at
tack. He stood by the Soviet Un
ion’s proposals for control of dis
armament by ground inspection
only.
Gromyko1 also refused to agree
to the West’s demand that genu
ine disarmament should be pre
ceded by settlement of interna
tional political problems such as
the division of Germany, Korea
and Viet Nam.
Gromyko agreed that as a first
step the armed forces of the Unit
ed States, the Soviet Union, and
Communist China should be cut
to 2Vi million each; those of Brit
ain and France to 750,000 each,
and those of other countries to
150,000 to 280,000 each.
But he added that this should
lead to a second step to reduce i
the United States, Soviet and
Chinese forces to between 1 mil
lion and lVi million each, and
British and French forces to 650,
000 each. These were the ceilings
which Russia previously had ad
vocated.

U.S. Air Force Denies
Its Planps Flew Over
Red Territory This Month
WASHINGTON, UR—The U. S.
Air Force both here and in Ger
many has denied Russian claims
that its planes flew over Russian
territory three times this month.
Soviet Ambassador Georgi Za
rubin protested formally to the
State Department Tuesday that
U.S. planes from West Germany
had flown over territory of both
Russia and its satellite neighbors
on July 4, 5, and 9.
The State Department has not
yet replied officially, but the Air
Force’s European headquarters
said Wednesday “no aircraft as
signed to the command of the
UjS. Air Force in Europe violated
Soviet or satellite territory.”
