But State department people will acknowledge that over the past two years the Commu nist governments of middle Europe have made it increasingly difficult for American diplomats to carry on their business. Th Lineup: This is the way the score now stands: U. S. diplomats' have left Bul garia, and the Bulgarians have left the U. S. Poland has demanded that the U. S. cut its Warsaw embassy staff of military attaches by 40 percent. Czechoslovakia has demanded that we get two-thirds of our em- bassy staff out of there. . Romania wants us to cut our staff. Hungary makes the same de . mands. I When a country makes demands like this, diplomatic procedure re quires that they be met. But id ealise of restrictions the Soviet satellite governments have thrown around the staffs wc have haJ there, these cuts won't rally amount to much. . . The restrictions vary in the vari ous nations. But all say that Ameri can didplomats car go only certain distances from their embassies and that thay must ask permission fore they do. When they get per- ission they are follo-ved by secret police. What do we do in retaliation? -Som. Sent Horn Some of the satellite Commu nists have been sent home.

Hungary has asked a "drastic cut" of our staff of about 35 Americans and something under 100 Hun garian employes. oth Hungarians and Romanians have only skeleton stiffs in Wash ington, and no one hears much from them.

UP). i The city council has laid plans to increase taxes on business and professions, to make up for the income and property taxes vutud down in Friday's election. ' - - The increase would be made by ' taxing all sales, regardless of whether the merchandise goes out-; side the city. At present, only sales within the city are taxed. The j base tax rate, too, would be upped. The council estimated the taxes ! could bring in $2,325,000, the same amount that either the incnino or property tax would have yielded.

A cadet drives 1750 "horses" while flying the F-51 "Mustang," the number one high speed fighter of World War II. This 1750 horsepowered airplane is used at one of air training command's twe fighter schools, Las Vegas air force base, Nevada, during the last five months of the year-long training program. After. their graduation as second lieutenants and pilots these young men will fly newer and faster air force jets. (Official photo, USAF.) CASH PRICES Wool 56C b. Mohair 55C lb.

Saturday Nights JERRY WHITSON TRIO Loungt Facilities General Motors Makes Billion Dollar Bet That Next Five Years Will Be Fat Bv SAM DAWSON NEW YORK-Pl General Mo tors is making a billion dollar bet that the next five years will be fat ones. It will probably ask you, its customer, to put up a sizable part of the money. One billion dollars is what the big auto concern will pay out extra to workers in the next five years, under the conditions of the con tract. But there are certain "ifs" attached. Most of the billion will be paid out by you, the customer. That is, it will be included in the cost of the cars you buy whether that means a hike in car prices, or iust a cancellation of price cuts that otherwise might have come along. But, if the next five years don't turn out to be as prosperous for auto producers as GM is betting, GM likely will curtail produc tion, and its .five-year wage bill won't be boosted by all of that 51 billion bv any means. Might B Strikes And, if the wage-pension pattern GM is setting proves hard for some of the litlle fellows who sup ply it with parts, there might be strikes there, and these could tie up production at the assembly line. So that the five-year contract is no absolute guarantee of five years of labor-management peace in GM's overall operations, as some quarters are prone to hail it. However, it is probably a well calculated bet on GM's part. The auto giant apparently is counting on national income slaying high. It appears to believe that the free spending era that has followed the car will continue for some time, that the dangers of a sharp defla tion within the next five years are slim. It counts on there being a lot of money around, a lot of employment, and more and more people wanting, and affording, new cars. On that premise, GM may be lieve that $1 billion is a reason able price to pay for labor peace in a highly competitive market. Ob servers note that Walter Reuther, the auto union chief, took occasion on announcing the GM settlement to blast again at Chrysler as still being under the "delusion that by some miracle it can get rid of the union." With the union playing footie footie with GM and apparently still resentful of Chrysler, the GM posi tion of being relatively strike-free may be a strong competitive fac tor. However, Chrysler has just reported its greatest proauciivc week in history, as it recovers from the long strike. There will be just that many more cars on the market to compete with GM and Ford the summer-buying weeks ahead. The billion-dollar cost doubtless will make only a small nick in GM's earnings, as long as the present auto-buying spree contin ues and GM officials are loud in their optimistic estimates of the boom running along tor many months to come. But GM's chances this year of becoming the first American cor poration to make $1 billion annual profit probably have gone glim mering. The auto giant set a cor porate record last year with $656 4 million profit. The cacao tree was imported into the African Gold Coast from trop ical' America 70 years ago. Gold ore at Obuasi, African Gold Coast, assays an ounce to the ton. WARNING!
