On the nuclear weapons the Soviet Union made this proposal: "To ban and A bombs, their production and use, and to destroy all stocks, with an immeban on tests." diate. Soviet has been plumping for a long time for an end to international nucleantests, ban (and nuclear weapons. The West. has insisted that strict.

(disarmament) proposals carried out." Bulganin's message contained blasts at the British, French and Israelis for the invasion of Egypt, and said this has resulted in a weakening, not only of political but also of the military strategic of Britain and France of the entire North Atlantic Treaty Organization. These were the Soviet disarmament proposals-most of them offered before in one way or another-to be discussed at a summit conference "in view of the failure of the United Nations disarmament commission:" "The armed forces of the 1.

Abolition of and A- bomb tests has been advocated for a long time by Soviet Union. But both the Western they powers and Russia have kept up their test explosions. Russia has also long demanded that NATO give up bases in foreign countries. The Soviet st statement bristled with denunciations of the British and French for the invasion of Egypt and contained familiar Soviet charges that "monopolists" in the United States, Britain and France were the armaments to make intensifying, "fabulous profits." The statement referred to the situation in Hungary in this manner: "Attempts are being made at fanning, up against a the slanderous Soviet Union camin connection with the fiasco of the counter-revolutionary conspiracy against the peoples of Hungary, which, as has now been clearly ascertained, was an integral part of the general conspiracy of imperialists against the peace and security of the peoples both in the Near East and in Europe." It said it could be stated that the strategic situation in Western Europe now is more favorable to the Soviet army than at the end of World War II. It declared that the Soviet Union could have "realized the military aims prescribed to it concerning West Europe even without utilizing present day nuclear and rockets weapons." But the statement added that now as at the end of World War II, "the U.S.S.R.

has no other aim than the preservation and the strengthening of peace for which the peoples of the world are thirsting." Bulganin's Message Puzzles Washington WASHINGTON (P) Premier Bulganin's proposal for a new summit conference to tackle the problem of disarmament was assured today as careful study by President Eisenhower and his but hardly seemed likely unqualified Ameriadvisors, can approval. Several points in the Bulganin message announced in Moscow puzzled Washington observers in initial reaction. They wondered whether Bulganin was really thinking of a top-level meeting or trying to make some other point. expressed willingness to consider President Eisenhower's "open skies" aerial inspection plan for the North Atlantic and Warsaw Pact countries could be a way of reversing Russia's policy on this point if Bulganin now really wants to get serious work going on a disarmament program, However, it could equally well be bait to. get the United States to come into Summit conference the inspection proposal having been the spearhead of U.

S. disarmament efforts since the Geneva summit meeting in July 1955. At the same time, it could also be bait to get the big powers to agree to take the disarmament issue out of the United Nations entirely. The White House declined comment on the Bulganin note until it receives the official text.

Mrs. McBride Is Acquitted ORLANDO, Fla. (P- A jury last night acquitted Mrs. Helen; McBride, 49, the woman aviator, of the murder of a "friend of the family" at her home Feb. 29.

The sister-in-law of Mary Margaret McBride, the columnist, sobbed when the verdict was read in circuit court. She said she shot Charles Richard Green, 33, in self defense when they argued about finances. Green, an unmarried airline clerk, had lived in the McBride home at Apopka from to 1955. She described him "al1947, most a member of the family" which included her husband, Dr. T.

E. McBride, 60, and the McBrides' four children. She testified she invited Green to her home on the night of the slaying and told him her husband "is in bad need of some money and you owe me upward of $2,000." Green said he didn't have "that kind of money," she said, and became angry she proposed that they mortgage some apartments they jointly owned at the Apopka airport. She said Green slapped her twice across the face, grabbed her by the neck and that, she fled to the kitchen where there was a .22 caliber pistol she had taken out to clean. She told the court Green kept advancing and she fired when he disregarded a warning she would shoot.

A THE CAPITAL TIMES, Senator Sees 'No Trouble' Postal Complaint on Wiley's Free Mail Is Expected to Die By RON MAY (Capital Times Washington Correspondent) WASHINGTON-Sen.

Alexander trouble from the Post Office paign folders mailed to Wisconsin fore the election. The department showed a consin primary in September by use of his franking privilege. Postmaster General Summer field's legal aides a letter mailed to charged in early September, that more than 200.000 Wisconsin constituents contained material not previously printed in the Congressional Record and therefore not eligible for postage-free mailing. The charge came at a time when Wiley was fighting for his political life Glenn R. Davis (R-Waukesha), who had been endorsed for the senator's job by the State GOP.

Davis was considered more amenable to the wishes of the Old Guard leaders of the party in Wisconsin, Wiley was informed in the first week of September by Post Office General Counsel Abe Goff that he would have to pay more than $7,000 to cover the "wrongly" franked letter. The story was given first by the department to the anti-Wiley Wisconsin State Journal in a long-distance call on Sept. 7 and it seems obvious that the newswas aware from the start paper, complaint had been filed by a letter recipient against Wiley. The primary was Sept. 11 four days later.

Wiley immediately protested the ruling. His office filed a brief stating that 75 per cent of themletter consisted Congressional of reprints Record and that the remaining 25 per cent contained no direct mention of the campaign. "It was a letter to inform citizens of Wisconsin of important public matters," Wiley insisted. Actually, the letter was designed to put the senator in a good light as a hard-working legislator deserving of re-election, Postmaster Summerfield, an intensely political individual, has made no secret of his low regard for Wisconsin's senior senator. or his admiration for Davis, who was supported by Sen.

Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis) and others of the party's right wing. Summerfield is an old and close friend of Wisconsin's GOP leader, Thomas Coleman, the man who engineered the party's repudiation of Wiley in favor of Davis and the man who did more than anyone to elect McCarthy in 1946. Coleman still backs McCarthy. The postmaster general is a veteran of Michigan politics and worked closely with Coleman in the years before the Eisenhower administration took office in 1953, the year he received his cabinet appointment. Summerfield pointedly refused to mention Wiley while ad- VI.

Sather Dies At Stoughton STOUGHTON-Marthinius Sather 72, retired farmer, and area resident more 60 years, died today at a local hospital. A native of Ringsaker, Norway, Mr. Sather came to this country at the age of 9 with his parents and settled in the Stoughton area. He operated a farm in the town of Rutland more than 30 ears, moving to Stoughton on his retirement in 1946. Surviving are his wife; two daughters, Mrs.

Aaron Lunde, Stoughton, and Mrs. Walter Vick 5106. Maywood Ave. Monona Village; three sons, Alfred, Oregon; Melvin, 913 North Madison, and Reinhardt, Orfordville, and 12 grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Monday at 2 at the First Lutheran Church, with the Rev.

A. W. Stolen, pastor officiating. Friends may call at the Holzhuter Funeral Home after 10 a. m.

Sunday. Wiley (R-Wis) is not expecting Department on a series of camvoters during the month be- peculiar zeal just before the Wisciting the senator for improper dressing the Wisconsin GOP convention May. There is reason to believe that he urged Coleman to dump Wiley. The Summerfield-Wiley onism is of long standing, and it certainly wasn't alleviated by Wiley's opposition to the postmaster's request that Congress raise postal rates. The meaure was defeated.

After Wiley won the primary and became the official candidate for Wisconsin Republicans, a flood of postage-free literature was issued from Wiley's office. One folder offered voters "9 Good Reasons For Wiley's ReElection." Another folder was headed: "Re: Would You Help In My Campaign?" A postcard was enclosed for the recipient to sign and mail to a friend. The message on the postcard was short: "I hope you'll support Senator Alexander Wiley, too!" This gimmick was first used extensively in Wisconsin by McCarthy in 1946. Little if any of the printed material sent from Wiley's office during the last month of the campaign was taken from the Congressional Record. Most of it asked directly for support in the election, At least one has sent the later Wiley letters to the postmaster asking for a ruling.

It is difficult to understand how the department fail condemn the post-primary mailings after making an issue of the first letter. But Summerfield is expected to find a way to wriggle out of the predicament. The law is conveniently vague so that it can be manipulated according to political needs, as the postmaster apparently has been doing. The department's meddling in senatorial affairs is almost certain to result in changes to the franking law so that the Senate will have sole and complete control over its free mailing. Informed observers believe that any new law would make the franking rules even more loose, because senators don't like to restrict themselves.

Even the vast bailing of Sen. Thomas Martin (R-Iowa) to 13 Midwest states at a cost to the taxpayers of more than $150,000 is not enough to impel senators to tighten the rules. Wiley has told reporters that he not expect to hear anything further from the Post Office department about the disputed letter. His staff does not expect that he will pay the 000-plus postage bill.

City Traffic Engineer John Bunch revealed Friday that the cycles on traffic lights at four Capitol Square intersections have been changed to give motorists turning onto the square a better break. Under the old light schedule, traffic on the Square began to move several seconds before cars on the four side streets were allowed to begin right turns onto the Square. As a result, it was frequently difficult for motorists from the side streets to get into the heavy stream of square traffic. The new system permits side street traffic to remove onto the Square seven seconds before the square traffic gets the green light. Bunch pointed out this prevents cars on the square from veering into the extreme right lane and clogging it for side street traffic.

The intersections involved are where East Washington Avenue, West Washington Avenue, Monona Avenue and Wisconsin Avenue meet the Square.
