Norway Tells Reds
NATO Membership
Vital For Peace
OSLO, UF—Norway has told the
Soviet Union that membership in
NATO is a vital part of Norwe
gian policy for obtaining peace
and security and it has no inten
tion of quitting the western de
fense alliance.
Moscow was given that word in
reply to its threat that establish
ment of NATO guided missile and
atomic weapon bases in Norway
would bring atomic destruction in
the event of war.
In his 2,100-word message Pre
mier Einar Gerhardsen did not
mention the possibility of NATO’s
equipping Norwegian! forces with
guided missiles and atomic wea
pons, but his letter to Soviet Pre
mier Bulganin said Norway is
carrying out its policy of not
letting foreign forces be stationed
on its soil in peacetime.
Gerhardsen said Soviet warn
ings that Norway might, “as a
consequence of her membership
in NATO,” be forced to have for
eign forces or weapons stationed
on her territory against her will
“can only be due to a misunder
standing.”
“It is .Norway’s constitutional
bodies which will -at any time de
cide whether our country is ex
posed to a threat of attack,” the
premier declared.
He added that Norway would
welcome a realistic disarmament
plan, especially covering nuclear
weapons, but said any disarma
ment agreements to be binding
must “be carried out under ade
quate control.”

change to “Office of Overseas
I Territories.” He is going to bring

Lords.
The family that makes their
home a heaven will be pretty sure
to make heaven their home.

man assigned to the park, and
J.W. Fabre, 27, who brought the
child to the zoo, took him into the
pen to see a sick chimpanzee.

were looking at the chimp and
first tried to attack Cuccio.
