Russian U.N. Delegation Declines U.S. Proposals of Missile Control; European Press Eases Up on U.S.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Oct. 10--The United States offered today to enter immediately into multi-nation talks on control of outer space missiles. The offer was ignored by the Soviet Union, which accused the West of trickery in disarmament negotiations.

U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge warned the United Nations "we must not miss this chance" to harness for peace outer space missiles "which can blow us to bits."

But Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, speaking after Lodge in the U.N.'s 82-nation Political Committee, made no specific mention of control of missiles. He declared the Western Powers are "still unwilling to reach any agreement."

The British press urged a pooling of Western brains and know-how to meet the Soviet challenge. Italian newspapers took a similar stand.

Even the French press, only lately accusing the United States of betraying France in Algeria, appeared to feel that criticizing the United States now is a dangerous luxury.

Gov. Orval Faubus stood firm on his stand that no compromise is in sight unless nine Negro students are withdrawn from integrated Central classrooms.

President Eisenhower has refused to withdraw regular Army troops and federalized Arkansas National Guardsmen from the school until he is satisfied that the court-endorsed Central High integration plan will be enforced by local authorities.
