Big 5 Preparing Parley to Discuss World Police Unit London, Dec.

29, (IF). Diplo matic quarters said today they expected that a five power meet ing of military leaders would take place in January to discuss establishment of the international peace preservation force contem plated by the United Nations charter. A British foreign office spokes man neither confirmed nor de nied reports that plans for meeting of the military chiefs of the United States, Britain, Rus sia, France and China were under discussion through diplomatic channels on the initiative of the British government. The spokesman, however, drew attention to provisions of the United Nations charter which au thorize establishment of a military staff committee to work with the Security Council. The charter says this commit tee is to assist and advise the security uouncil on all ques tions relating to military re.

quirements for the maintenance of mtemational peace and se the employment and com mand of forces placed at the disposal of the United Nations and regulation of armaments and disarmament. "This committee. said the spokesman, "will be constituted when the Security Council is es tablished." It was generally assumed in authoritative quarters that this meeting would be held at the earliest possible moment after organization of the peace agency's Security Council by the United Nations General Assembly which will hold its first session in Lon don, January 10. Gen. Eisenhower, U.

S. Chief of Staff, may fly to London for the meeting, it was reported. This would be the first meeting of mili tary chiefs of all the five powers since, no such war time meetings were held. However, dispatches from Frankfurt and Washington today announced the appointment of Lt. Gen.

Matthew B. Ridgway, deputy supreme Allied commander in the Mediterranean theatre, as Gen. Eisenhower's representative on the military staff committee of the United Nations. It was possible that this meant that Gen. Ridgway would attend in the place of Eisenhower.

One authoritative report said it was not expected that the chiefs of staff or their deputies would hold any preliminary discussions A Meet Your Friends hoxb cookid kials alhati a fkatcm at NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY Novelties Orchestra Souvenirs DANCING 9 TO 2 MINIMUM $2 FOR RESERVATIONS CALL 4 4355 or 3 9693 Williams Restaurant MOE WILLIAMS Five Miles from Harrisburg on the Gettysburg Pike v. 4 Ingrid Bergman, who is co starred with Bing Crosby in "The Bells of St. Mary's," due Monday at the Senate. before the Security Council's military staff is established, but it seemed certain every effort would be made to get the military organization into operation as soon as possible because of the importance of its duties. It would be logical, said this report, for the British government, as host to the United Nations Gen eral Assembly in January, to take the first step in seeing that the committee is constituted.

It was believed here that the Security Council would ask the military committee to estimate immediately what should be the strength of the United Nations peace preservation force. Once the Security Council has this information steps then could be taken to inform each member of the United Nations of the size of the force it would be asked to contribute to the international body. Some quarters have suggested that a special atom bomb air force be placed at the disposal of the security Council, and this aues tion may be brought up during the ursi. session oi tne general Fifty eight per cent, of the total war contracts were concentrated in eight states: Michigan, New York, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey, and Indiana.
