Norway will not open
bases to NATO troops

MOSCOW

Norway has pfomised not to give bases on her territory “to foreign armed forces, as long

as Norway is not attacked or threatened by attack,” according to a joint Norwegian-Soviet

communique. —
The communique,

signed by Norwegian Prime Minister Einar Gerharsen and Soviet

Premier Nicolai Bulganin declared the two coun tries’ intention to cooperate further toward
easing werld tension. Norway is a member of NATO but does not permit forces of other

A ‘three-year trade pact, was
also signed. ~

Steps are to be taken to widen
exchanges in science, industry,
culture and sports, and em-
phasis was laid in the com-
munique on close personal
contact between mass organi-
sations such as the youth move-
ments of both countries.

Following conclusion of the
talks in Moscow, Gerharsen left
on a seven-day tour of the Soviet
Union, starting at Stalingrad.

In the communique the similar-

lity of the two governments’ views

on a number of questions now
being discussed by the United
Nations Organisation was partic-
ularly pointed out. :
The. communique said talks
are to take place at Norway’s
suggestion, at diplomatic level,
on questions relating to the
Soviet-Norwegian frontier.
Talks are also’ to be held on

developed on the Pasvik River on

service in the Barents Sea.

Bar on auto trade
with China scored

-LONDON
A representative of « Austins
obtained large orders in China
for Austin cars, but on his return
to Britain was forbidden by the
Board of Trade to export them,
although China was “practically
infested” with U.S. cars. —
This fact was raised in the
British House of Commons last
week by Labor MP Ben Parkin

with the observation: “The
average annual trade with China
could be immediately raised,

three, four or five times what
it is and we could have a pros-

pect there for an almost contin-

ually expanding market.”

Leading Soviet architect Alex-
ander Vlasov has accused French
police of trying to make him seek
asylum in France when he arrived
from the United States on Tues-
day last week.

A building expert who was re-
lieved of his post as Moscow’s
chief architect, Vlasov told a press
conference at the Soviet embassy

ALEXANDER VLASOV

Emigres stage riot
to provoke ‘incident’

PARIS that a police official urged him

to stay in France while his pass-
port was being checked aboard
the liner Queen Elizabeth at
Cherbourg.

“He, tried to isolate me from
my companions in order to start

‘an incident about me seeking

asylum,” Vlasov said. “I was
called into a special room where,
in the presence of French police-
men, a man with a dark face and
bushy. eyebrows made the sug-
gestion to me.”

When Vlasov arrived at Saint
Lazarre station in Paris, Russian
emigres waiting at the station
rushed toward him and_ his
companions, five Soviet diplo-
mats. When’ the six, fearing
violence, linked arms to protect
themselves the emigres raised the
cry that Vlasov was being “kid-
napped” by his companions.

Police escorted Vlasov and his
companions to the police station.
There Vlasov stated indignantly:
“I love France—but what be-
havior I have seen tonight!
I am going to Moscow to work.
I am very happy to return to my
own country.” y

Twenty minutes later a Soviet
embassy car made its way through
the crowd of chanting emigres
and took Vlasov and the Soviet
diplomats to the embassy.

At the embassy press confer-
ence, Viasov told a questioner
that a Soviet decree which crit-
icised his work in Moscow “does
not refer to my being dismissed.”
He was relieved of his post as
chief architect of Moscow after
he was promoted to the presidency
of the Soviet Academy of Arch-
itecture last May.

U.S. atomic fallout.

WASHINGTON |

Atomic dust from test explo-
sions in the Nevada desert has

travelled right across the United |

States in quantities that may be
extremely dangerous to the birth
of future children.

This fact, with its terrible im-
plications for future atomic tests,
is revealed in the report of the
U.S. Atomic Energy Commis-
sion for the first half of 1955.
