Ike Offers NATO U.S. Missiles; Germany Asks Armament Delay; New York Subway Strike Ends

By The ASSOCIATED Press

PARIS, Dec. 16--President Eisenhower today offered America's European allies medium-range missiles and atomic warheads. The long, tense first closed session of the NATO summit conference then quickly split over how to deal with his proposition.

At one point not directly related to the Elsenhower offer, Britain's Prime Minister Macmillan said the West should look into recent proposals from Soviet Premier Bulganin.

Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of West Germany was a top objector to Eisenhower's weapons offer, urging that any decision on such military problems be postponed at least until next spring.

Subway Strike Ends

NEW YORK, Dec. 16--The worst subway strike in New York's history ended tonight, after eight days of vast transit confusion above and below ground. It had persisted in defiance of state law and court order.

The strikers also were promised there would be no mass reprisals without an impartial hearing, even though state law provides for the discharge of subway strikers.

Four top MBA officers, including President Theodore Loos, spent the entire strike in jail for contempt of a court's no-strike injunction.

Ike Cancels Dinner Engagement

PARIS, Dec. 16--President Eisenhower, still convalescing from a mild stroke, canceled a NATO ceremonial dinner engagement tonight after a long, exhausting day of Atlantic Alliance conferences. But his doctor said there was "nothing medically wrong."

The doctor, Maj. Gen. Howard M. Snyder, said further in a message relayed to newsmen that Eisenhower was "in fine shape" despite having been pictured earlier as tired out.

He made two major speeches today and sat through two crowded NATO sessions, one lasting four and one-half hours.
