LR Field Marshal Montgomery today warned the United States to be ready to "take it" and strike back if it is to survive in the years of "coexistence with conflict" ahead. "We must expect" that the Communist powers will continue to use every means, short of world war, to penetrate, to disrupt and to dominate the other half of the world, probing the weak spots, and calling off the offensive in any particular place only if strong and effective resistance la offered." Montgomery said.

But the western world can meet the challenge, he declared, by developing its ability to hit back even after nuclear attack. Major war Is not so likely, he said, "if free nations maintain their strength and unity, and the leadership of the U.S-A. is convincing and is exercised with understanding." He told the Los Angeles World Affairs council: "History will measure the success of the United States not so much by the quantity of your dollars as by the quality of your leadership." The deputy commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization said: "We are faced with the prospect of a 'peaceful coexistence' which means the absence of both peace and war in the full sense of both words, and which may last for years perhaps even for generations.

The senate's Republican leader called again today for a blockade of Red China to force the release of American prisoners there, but the yvhite House said President Eisenhower feels this would be "war action." Eisenhower thus lined up solidly with Secretary of State Dulles against the proposal of Senator Knowland of California. In a major speech at Chicago last night, Dulles said the United States had agreed under the United Nations charter to try to settle international disputes in a manner which would not endanger world peace. "Therefore," Dulles said, "our first duty is to exhaust peaceful means of sustaining our international rights and those of our citizens, rather than now resorting to war action such as a naval and air blockade of Red China." A strong American protest against the imprisonment of 11 U. S. airmen and two civilians as "spies" has just been rejected by Red Chinese representatives in Geneva.

Switzerland, the only point of direct diplomatic contact with the Peiping regime. Knowland said there may be some other "effective alternative" to the blockade he advocates. "If it is effective, it will have my tun support," he added. "But personally, I don't believe either the Congress or the country will remain complacent month in and month out while Americans are in communist jails. Interviewed on a television tiro- gram, the senate leader argued that a blockade of the Chinese coast would make things "so ex pensive tor the Communists that they would be forced to release the 13 Americans, whose prison sentences were announced last week, and a number of other U.

S. citizens also being held. The White House view of the situation was reported by James C. Hagerty. Eisenhower's press secretary.

Newsmen asked him whether the President agreed with uuues- mat a blockade would amount to war action. "Yes," Hagerty replied. He went on to say that Eisenhower "ap proved completely" of the secre tary of state's speech. Dulles had said, "Our nation will react, and react vigorously, but without allowing ourselves to be provoked into action which would be a violation of our inter national obligations." Knowland was asked by retort- ers whether he knew what Dulles had in mind when he spoke of vigorous reaction. "I'm frankly waiting to hear." the senator said.

He expressed doubt that an other diplomatic note to the Red Chinese would do any good and said he didn't think UN interven tion would be effective if It 'merely backed up our note." a television and again lust be fore he went on the senate floor, Knowland commented that he does not believe the "breach" between him and the Eisenhower administration on Red Chinese policy is as wide as some people try to make it appear. lie acknowledge there is an honest difference of opinion on the steps to be taken to obtain release of the Americans," but said it is a difference which needs to be expressed. Knowland said he didn dis agree at all with Dulles' conten tion that peaceful measures should be tried first. "But the only thing Is," he said, "I think the American people as well as the Congress will be deeply interested in how soon these other steps can be taken and what will happen if they are not effective. "I think that not only those in the armed forces, but those who may be called in, and their par ents, and the entire American public, are going to want to know precisely what we are going to do about It.

AAalotairv Reds Chart Answer To Paris Pact Rearming Of Eastern Germany Called For MOSCOW, Nov. 30. (5 Spurred by the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia today "proposed a combined eight-nation Communist military command and East Germany called for an army of its own as eastern Europe's answer to the prospective rearming of the West Germans. Czech Premier Vilem Siroky and East German Premier Otto Grotewohl advanced their proposals at the Communist nations' European security conference organized by the Soviet Union in en effort to prevent or delay ratification of the Paris agreements by the western powers. Those agreements scheduled for ratification by March 1 would bring a near-sovereign, rearmed West Germany into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a defensive alliance against aggression.

A suggestion of a Communist combined military command arv-peared in a speech yesterday by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov in opening the conference, to which Communist China has sent observers. Molotov said ratification by Western parliaments of the Paris agreements would "demand of the states taking part in this conference to take common measures in the field of organizing their military forces and commands. Besides the Soviet Vnion which undoubtedly would head the combined command Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hun-jfarj', Poland, Romania, East Germany, and six of the Soviet Union's republics are represented.

Urging Establishment of the eombined command, an eastern Aversion of NATO. Siroky said; rreation of a West German army would carry a special threat to ihe borders of Czechoslovakia, Poland, and East Germany. Therefore, he declared, "these states should take effective joint measures to secure their own frontiers. Grotewohl told the delegates assembled in the white marble hall of Moscow's Spiridonovka palace he thoroughly supported the Pcech proposal and said it also had the support of Poland and Russia. He made his demand for creation of an East German army conditional upon ratification of the Paris agreements.

Grotewohl again urged nego tiation between his government and that of West Germany on re unification adding his regime was willing to consider the Weimar constitution adopted after World War I as the basis for such talks (There is strong indication in this that the Communist confer ence will result in a bold move by Moscow offering to discuss with the other powers some method ol holding free all-German elections, and even offering to aba'ndon the East German election system for this. The maneuver, subject to long ne gotiations, would aim at stimu-Jatine German nationalism and 'thus hampering ratification or JmDlementation of the Paris agreements.) Ratification is considered here to be almost certain. Grotewohl's proposal for an East German -army was regarded as a further effort to influence western par liaments against ratification. Sirokv came out first for arm ine the'East Germans. He claimed this was necessary because "implementation of the Paris will form a military bloc directed asainst the eastern states."

He also estimated that monthly draft calls would remain at about their current level of 23,000 for young men who would serve two years. 4 VISCOUNT MONTGOMERY scribed as 'coexistence with con- Beefing np defenses with increased air power and use of nuclear weapons is necessary to deter the forces of aggressive communism, he said, adding: "The essential point is that we ourselves should be able to receive a surprise nuclear attack, to absorb it, and to survive to hit back and continue the fight." The defense problem today is global and all nations must pre-pare effective civil defense, he said, because "if we use atomic weapons, we must expect counter-use by the enemy against our cities." He stressed the point that: "One of our greatest needs today is the creation of some organization which would direct our affairs on a global basis. At present we have only NATO.

There is a small beginning in southeast Asia. But we still lack the global organization, and we lack an agreed political aim on a global basis which is sufficiently clear to guide military strategy." rum xrouDie witn com xne i.

-t MX Balloting To Start Today Whole Issue May Be Settled Thursday WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. LP) The last full day of debate in the McCarthy censura row ended tonieht with im passioned appeals and coun- terappeals in an all but empty senate chamber. benator Lehman CD-Lih- NY) rang down the curtain with a declaration that Senator McCarthy (R-Wis) must be rebuked because "the tactics he has used are destructive of tne very institutions of free gov ernment." Lehman sDoke after Senatm Mundt (R-SD), taking the op-posite side, declared it would be a great dav for the world-wide Communist propaganda mill if censure is voted for McCarthy. He said a censure vote would be viewed as a retreat in this country's fight against subversion.

ThereH be a few more speeches tomorrow. Then, by unanimous consent, this special session of the senate will start voting late in the afternoon on the ques- uon of whether or not to reprimand the junior senator from Wisconsin on charges of unbecoming conduct and contempt of the senate. Senator Knowland (R-Calif.) said he expected the whole censure issue to be settled Thursday night. The extraordinary session then can end, he said, apart for possible later action on a few non-controversial nominations or other matters. Senator Fulbright (D-Ark.) drew today's biggest audience of senators and spectators with a speech accusing McCarthy of staring a "prairie fire" of fear and hatred which, he said, not even McCarthy may be able to put out.

The Arkansas senator read aloud from a stack of letters from McCarthy supporters reflecting, he said, race and religious bitterness, "unadulterated hatred, vituperation and abuse." Mundt then called for rejection of the McCarthy censure resolution, asking -the senate instead to change its rules and adopt a code of personal conduct ruling out such behavior as McCarthy's foes are complaining of. Senator Bennett (R-Utah) took the floor briefly in defense of his amendment which would censure McCarthy for attacks on the Wat kins committee the body which originally recommended censure on two other grounds. Bennett nrged that McCarthy who spent only a half-hour in the chamber, during the late afternoon take the floor and make an "affirmative case" for himself on the censure question. He said that so far the McCarthy camp seemed to be relying largely on putting questions to senators favoring censure. Lehman, winding up the debate, declared the senate itself not McCarthy is on trial "at the bar of public opinion in our own country and of world opinion, too." The New York senator said it was "inconceivable" the senate woufd not adopt "as a minimum the censure resolution put forward by the Watkins committee.

French Ease Path For Premiers PARIS, Nov. 30 (J) The French national assemffly tonight voted to change the con-s'; ation so that new premiers can be voted into office more easily during the nation's frequent cabinet crises. The deputies agreed to abolish the provision that a majority of all members of the assembly must approve a new premier. Under the new constitutional provision, a simple plurality will be necessary. In the past, many candidates for the premier's Job have been rejected because a number of deputies just didn't vote, thus leaving the aspirant short of the required majority.

Big Asiatic Aid Plan Mapped WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 Ub The Eisenhower administration will ask Congress for money to back a big new economic develop- ment program in free Asia as the next stage in Its cold war policy. diplomatic officials reported today. They said President Eisenhower would speak out about the need for such a program in his State-of-the-Union message to Congress in January. The amount of money Congress will be asked to provide has not yet been -determined by government officials who are drafting the program.

But informants said the admin istration definitely plans to pump more money into the Far East area In the next fiscal year than it did in the 12-month period beginning July 1. Congress set aside $1,478,000,000 for military and economic aid to this region, with more than half going for arms assistance. The main emphasis in the new development program, they said, will be on economic rather than military aid. The White House, state and treasury departments all have agreed, they said, on the need for this new approach to build up Communist-threatened nations. Asiatic countries, stretching In a great arc from Pakistan through Korea and Japan, are expected to take the initiative In requesting the new assistance, just as western European nations did In 1948 after former Secretary of State George C.

"I call on the officials of Utah to take more aggressive action on the problem of polygamy than they have to date," he said. The officials of Vtah have not done their duty with regard to the problem of polygamy and I have a feeling that unless they take the same attitude in their official thinking toward the problem that the state of Arizona has, polygamy will not be stamped out," the judge said. The judge began his remarks by simply declaring he had not been presented sufficient evidence at the hearing to revoke the pro bation of the nine -defendants.

He also wants the gov ernment to make an even sterner policy on racial segregation than it has now and to abandon use of the English language. A party caucus named 61-year- old Lands Minister Johannes Ger- hardus Strijdom, who uses only the Afrikaans tongue in public and is known as the "Lion of the Transvaal," to succeed retiring Prime Minister Daniel F.

Gen. E. G. Jansen called on Strijdom to form a new gov ernment. But Strijdom's first public words as crime minister took a moderate tone.

At a Nationalist party function tonight, he said the ultimate objective was to make South Africa a republic but that the party "always had pursued a policy of justice and fairness to all sections English- speaking, Afrikaans-speaking and non-Europeans." He said this policy will con tinue when the country becomes a republic. Strijdom was born in Cape province, but never subscribed to the more liberal traditions of the Cape Nationalists. A stocky man, always neatly dressed, he found his political home in the Transvaal, base of the Nationalist extremists who have elected him to parliament since 1929. He began as an ostrich farmer, but the slump in the demand for os- trich feathers in the early 1900's forced him out of business.
