During the trial, FBI agents presented oral and written confessions by Graham. Graham took the stand in absence of the jury to deny their truth.

He said he gave them under threats of the FBI. He contended they threatened to arrest his wife for lying and that he gave the statements to protect her. Graham did not testify before the jury. Graham, father of two, bit his lower lip but otherwise showed no emotion as Judge McDonald read the death verdict. He told reporters: COURSE, said Charles S.

U. S. SECRETARY of State Dulles made the proposal yesterday in a survey of future in the political and economic domains, saying the organization should be strengthened in those fields. British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd supported the proposal today.

Lloyd urged the appointment of Lester B. Pearson, Gaetano Martino, and Halvard Lange as the wise to map out a plan for development. They are members of the NATO Council. THE MAJOR GOAL would be to win over the uncommitted peoples of Asia, Africa and the Middle East to the estern side. British sources said that while the Dulles idea was endorsed this morning, the council did not get around to naming any individuals for the assignment.

The three foreign ministers be asked to as individuals instead of as representatives of their governments in hammering out a joint plan for bulwarking NATO in the political and economic fields. THE THREE WOULD from a base of the various proposals advanced yesterday. Lloyd delivered a major policy statement on toward future, urging that the organization take the offensive in the political sphere instead of reacting to Soviet attitudes. He made these points: 1. In the political field NATO should take the offensive by making a positive presentation of ideas and ideals to the rest of the world.

The emphasis would be on freedom of thought, freedom of trade union organization, and freedom of political organization. 2. IN THE MILITARY field NATO must maintain its strength essential for safety of the free world. 3. In the economic NATO should at least compile totals comparing what the West Is doing for underdeveloped areas (Continued on Page 3, Col.
