NATO REJECTS SOVIET

STEP IN RIGHT Careful & Thorough'

DIRECTION

THE Soviet nete proposing

ference to prepare the way for "summit" talks is a step in the right direction even though it is a tiny one. However, the Soviet proposal still falls far short of the adequate preparation need- ed for a heads of govern- ment meeting which the Western allies have been insisting upon.

Although Mr Foster Dulles, the American Secretary of State, and the Nato nations have rejected the latest Boviet conditions the door has apparently been left open to further negotiations looking towards an eventun) meeting.

Exploration

Mbusie

VR Dulles has stuck to the United States argument that there must be prior exploration, either through the Foreign Minis- tera or through diplomatic channels, to determine if there are issues on which thore would be a reason able prospect of arranging a conference.

But he is equally insistent In declaring that the United States did want a summit meeting which will enso international tensions.

Preparations Still Needed

London, Mar. 4.

The 15-nation Permanent Council of Nato, meeting today in Paris, rojected the Soviet proposal that a date should be set for summit talks before a pre- liminary Foreign Ministers' meeting is hold.

Russia, in agreeing to a Foreign Ministers' conference, pro- posed it should be held next month, with summit talks to follow two months later.

The West has insisted that summit talks should depend on the outcome of a Foreign Minis- ters' meeting or careful prepara- tion through diplomatic channels,

In Washington, Mr John Foster Dulles, the Secretary of State, told a press conference that the United States could not accept conditions which would preclude the kind of meeting the United States wanted.

Not Likely

In Paris, a French government spokesman saft: "The Foreign Ministers are not likely to meet if the Soviet Government insists on its prior conditions that summit conference date to set arst."

Nalo sources said after to- day's Permanent Cowell session that the West "canno! accepi a

Russians Building

Labour Party Fails To Quell Rebels

By JOSEPH W, GRIGG

London, Mar. 4. DRITAIN'S Labour Opposition leaders failed today D to quell a Left-wing revolt on outlawing the H-bomb which threatened to split the Party wide орел.

Political observers believed it could do serious damage to Labour's chances in Britain's next general elections.

The rebellion has mushroomed swiftly following formation recently of a Left-wing "Ginger Group" Inside the Labour Party under the name of "Victory for Socialism."

Fleet

London, Mar. 4. British Government warned today that Russia is building a "formidable" fleet including a reported 500 submarines, 23 heavy cruisers and a naval alr arm of 3,500 plancs.

"The Russians are quite ob- viously building in terms of some form of naval waretare," Robert Allon, Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty, told the House of Commons.

Allan spoke at the beginning of a debate on Britain's Navy estimates for the 1958-30 aan- "cial year." "These, total 339,- 400,000 an increase of £23,- 000,000 over the current year.

Leaders of the rebels were called on the mat to- day by Labour Party chief, Hugh Gaitskell, Deputy Leader James Griffiths and other members of the Party's high command.

Gaitskell reportedly warned the rebels that their activitles were a breach of Labour rules against formation of a "party within a party” and threatened to split the Labour movement at a crucial moment.

OLD GUARD

Morgan Phillips, Secretary of the Labour Party, sald afterward that the meeting, which lasted 75 minutes at the House of Commons, was "amicable." But the Party "old guard" failed to persuade the rebels to abandon plans for a moeg meeting at Caston Hall on Thursday evening to launch the Victory For Socialism" movement throughout the constituencies. Leaders of the revolt merely undertook to report back to their supporters-United Press.
