Nasser Shouts Angry
Warning At Interference
(Continued From Page One)
Undersecretary of Sate Herbert
Hoover Jr., and other top State
Department olficiais.
Deputy undersecretary of State
Robert Murphy flew to London
from Washington Satuday to join
British-French Talks on the seiz
ure. '
Secretary Dulles, now in Lima,
Peru, is due back in Washington
Sundav. but ho discussed the sit
uation with Hoover by telephone.
Before leaving Washington,
Murnhv told newsmen the United
States is interested in the impact
which the Suez seizure might
have "on operation and mainten
ance of the canal itself."
In Paris Foreign Minister
Christian Pincau told the French
National Assembly his govern
ment "refuses to accept" Nasser's
decision to take over the Suez
Canal from the French-controlled,
largely British - owned company
which has maintained it as an in
ternational waterway for 87 years.
In his speech in Cairo, Nasser
declared Egypt was not interfer
ing with canal traffic, but warned:
"I strongly warn the im
perialist countries that their in
terference will causo obstruction
of navigation in the canal. 1 there
fore put all responsibility on Bri
tain and France for any obstruc
tion of navigation which may re
sult." He rejected as an "insult" and
an interference with Egyptian
sovereignty British and French
protests over nationalization of the
canal.
Traffic has been moving
smoothly since Egypt seized the
canal company offices, he said,
and added:
"We shall not interfere with
navigation in the canal. On the
contrary, we will offer all fa
cilities." Nasser concentrated his attack
on Britain and France, not men
tioning the United Slates once.
This was in contrast with his
blasts last week which were di
rected solely at the United States
for withdrawing its offer to fi
nancial support for building the
$1,300,000,000 Aswan Dain.
The withdrawal was believed to
have prompted Nasser to nation
alize the canal 'as a retaliation
against the West. He said reven
ues from the Canal would finance
the dam.

million dollars a year to increase
payments to persons on the public
assistance rolls.
This is designed to boost checks
to the needy, aged, bund and a is
abled by about $3 to $4 a month,
and aid to individual dependent
children about $2 a month.
The bill would raise Social Se
curity taxes 850 million dollars
year starting Jan. 1, 1957, to fi
nance the new benefits resulting
from the lower retirement age for
women and the disability pro
gram. Both employer and employe
would pay at the rate of 2Vt per
cent on tne nrst s4,zuu or i n e
worker's annual earnings, starting
the first of next year. Presently
each group pays 2 per cent on the
first $4,200. Self-employed persons
would pay at a 3 3-8 per cent
rate on the same earnings Dase.
The new disability payments will
go to an estimated 340,000 persons
in the first year of the program,
with the first checks slated for
next July.
The payments are expected to
average about $75 or $80 a month
for those who meet strict Social
Security coverage and medical re
quirements, and to total almost
300 millions in the first year.
The first chocks to women go
ing on the Social Security rolls be
tween age 62 and age 65 would -io
out in December this year. About
800,000 women are expected to take
advantage of the lowered retire
ment age in the first year it is in
force. This total would include 300,
000 working women, the same
number of wives of retired hus
bands, and 200,000 widows.
Only the widows would receive
at age 62 the same rate of Dav-
ment to which they now are en
titled at age 65.
The working women would re
ceive at 62 only 80 per cent of
their age 65 rate, and wives 75
per cent. Their payments would
be raised proportionately each
month they postponed retirement
alter reaching 62. They would re
ceive the full scale at 65. Once
they have elected earlier retire
ment and the lower payment rate,
however, that monthly rate would
continue permanently.
Other provisions would establish
a new 65-million-dollar-a-year pro
gram of grants to the states for
medical care of persons on the
public assistance programs, and
permit a disabled child of a de
ceased or retired worker to re
ceive Social Security benefits in
definitely so long as the disability
occurred before the child was 18.
At present, payments for such a
child stop when he reaches 18.

Rejects Bonds
For New School
A proposed $310,000 bond issue
for construction of a new elemen
tary school at Winston Friday was
rejected by voters of the Dillard
School District.
The vote against the measure
was 177-119. It carried in none of
the three polling places.
At Dillard School, however, the
vote was 91-91. The proposal lost
58-13 at Lookingglass and 28-15 at
Tenmile.
A site already had been pur
chased by the school district for the
new school. It is at the west city
limits of Winston.
Stmt. William Bromley said de
feat of the measure may have set
back school plans in the district
for a year. He said the school
wouldn't have been ready by next
fall, and a double-shift of elemen
tary students would be necessary
next fall even if the school had
been approved.
The district has three grade
schools at Dillard, Tenmile and
Lookingglass. Winston, with a pod
ulation of more than 2.400, has no
elementary school in the immed
iate area.
The school board, after canvas

Sticks To Short
Skirt Collection
- By NADEANE WALKER
PARIS I A remarkably
nandsomc, short-skirted collection
with emphasis draped on the bust
won enthusiastic applause for
Jean Patou Saturday the third
day of the Paris fashion openings.
wearamuty is tne stamp of
Patou clothes never eccentri
city. Other dressmakers may reap
the headlines while he reaps the
sales.
The clean-lined Patou clothes
were a definite relief after rather
too fussy drapes, bows and de
tails in earlier shows. The little
black dress is the star of the
collection.
Other Paris dress houses may
be devoted to capes and hippiness.
Patou apparently never heard of
cither trend. His clothes are res
olutely slim-hipped and the only
things approaching a cape are a
few round fur collars and big,
gathered sleeves.
No matter how attractive capes
are, fashion writers have seen
enough of them in follow-the-lcad-cr
shows since Dior opened the
season Thursday to be sick of the
sight. Patou's new waistline is
high, liny and handsome. There
is a frequent double belt effect,
with one belt at the waistline and
the other just under the bust.
Wide, sometimes draped or ruched
belts are of self material, or satin
ribbons wind the waist for a cor
selet effect.
Trimmed down; length barrel
coats go over sleek suits, mostly
with narrow sheath skirts, but
some have wide, flat pleats.
To keep company with the little
black dress, there is the simple
black floor-length sheath for ele
gant evenings.
Besides black, color favorites
are all shades of purple, violet
and lilac, deep red and winter
white. Coats are big and full,-and
double rows of buttons march
down jacket fronts or skirt pleats.
Heavy silk satins flaunt autumn
tints in blurry print. There is lots
of grey flannel.

Loan Insurance
Legislation Voted
In Housing Bill
WASHINGTON Ifi Legislation
to continue home loan insurance
and other features of the govern
ment's many-sided housing pro
gram was approved by Congress
Friday night.
A Senate-House row over some
terms of the measura threatened
for a time to leave it stranded.
But a conference committee, in
six hours of tough bargaining,
fashioned a compromise which
then sailed through both cham
bers by voice vote.
Sen. Sparkman (D-Ala), defend
ing the Datched UD measure in
the Senate, said he and other Sen
ate conferees had dona "the best
we could if we were to have a
housing bill at all."
The bill provides authority for
the Federal Housing Administra
tion (FHA) to insure another
three billion dollars of FHA mort
gage loans during the coming
year.
It authorizes a two-year public
housing construction program
calling for 70,000 federally sub
sidized low rent dwelling units.
This is what President Eisenhow
er asked. But Sen. Lehman ID
NY) called the program "piti
fully" small compared to the 1J5
000 units a year originally voted
by the Senate.
Included are provisions to al -
low an unspecified number of the
Diiblic housing units to be de
signed especially for the aged,
and to encourage private build
ers, through FHA insured loans,
to produce special housing for the
elderly.

led to three uncoordinated and in
consistent forestry programs.
The Forest Service managed
by far the largest area of the fed
eral timber domain. It is the most
experienced of all the federal tim
ber agencies, ft performs the bas
ic forest research for all agencies
l nf the federal government and is
technically equipped to assume
even greater responsibilities.
, "The joint committee believes
tlat this agCncy, by reason of expe
rience, trained personnel and tech
nical facilities is the logical choice
to undertake the direction of a con
solidated and integrated forestry
program embracing all commer
cial timberlands now under feder
al jurisdiction."
The committee recommended
that the BLM and the Indian Bu -
reau retain their other functions,
but simply turn over timber func-
tions to the Forest Service to
achieve "optimum economic de-
velopment of the region and the
achievement of maximum sustain
ed-yield production.'

suggestion was ottered in a report

vember in Oregon, Washington and
Horn'ng said the idea is not new.
various federal and private studies
have been conducted to determine
i "i wic imai. xv ycdis, iie lecaueu,
feasibility of putting all forest ad
ministration in one agency.
But he said the failing in each
of the studies was that It couldn't
be determined where to put such
an organization. Possibilities held
out have been undor the Dept. of
Interior, Dept. of Agriculture or a
new department.
The minority report of a task
force of the Hoover Commission,
he pointed out, several years ago
recommended the establishment of
such a new department. Herbert
Hoover, head of the commission
and former president of the Unit
ed States, himself favored the
"eKw department. Horning said,
About five years ago, a federal
interagency study committee was
set to work on the problem, but
was only able to present an anal
ysis of advantages of all forest
agencies being' put under either
the Dept. of Interior or Dept. of
Agriculture.
Horning said one possible disad
vantage of combining the federal
forestry agencies might be this:
A spirit of competition in adminis
tration of forest lands might be
broken.
But he also explained that the
BLM and Forest Service are be
ginning to agree on methods of
appraising timber.

The way of determining annrais-
ed prices of timber probably is due
for further changes because of
new utilization practices. Horning
said. As milling practices change
and more complete utilization of
logs is realized, standing timber
win oecome more valuable.
