"I'm delighted with the test," said Brig. Leslie Frederick Ethel bert Wider. "It worked extremely well." Brig. Wieler is resident gover nor of the ancient tower over the Thames Kiver and the man re sponsible for safeguarding one of the world's most fabulous collec tion of jewels. "Why didn't you warn us, sir, (hat it was only practice?" asked a Srotland Yard sleuth. "What's the use of having a test," snapped the brigadier, "if it's not carried out properly?" Carried Out Properly It was carried out properly, all right. Shortly after breakfast the re-, corded voice on an automatic burglar alarm boomed out in Scotland Yard: "Intruders have entered the jewel house at the Tower of London." At the tower, alarm gones clanged like engines racing to a three-alarm fire. Scots guards jumped to action posts, scores of yeoman warders lumbered to emergency stations. the flying squad roared out of hcolland Yard, radio cars dashed to the tower, police boats churned down the Thames, bobbies cor doned off lower hill, a 16-tcn steel rage clanged down around the jewels. it was the biggest scare since Capt. I'eter Blood stole the royal ice from the tower nearly three minurea years ago. , All Jewels Safe All Ihe jewels which Include the priceless Cullinan diamonds and the Koh-l-Mor diamond were safe, of course. But, in re vealing what happened, the gov ernor let out a secret of the se curity arrangements surrounding tne gem collection, viewed annu ally by more than 300.000 persons. When Brig. Wieler broke an elec tric eye beam, the burglar alarm went off at the tower and in Scot land Yard. Back at the tower the governor was haDDV. "It's been a perfect morning," he said. "Now excuse me, please, 1 must show a party of Middle bast sheiks the jewels. agreed on legislation lo extend the government's security program to all federal employes not just those in sensitive jobs. 2.

The Senate has passed a similar resolution. 3. The Senate and House passed a compromise $3,697,305,478 catch all money bill, with most of the money allocated to Ihe Atomic r.nergv Commission. Ihe senate had wanted a requirement that the new spare agency get advance congressional approval of its proj ects. But a compromise was reached on a provision requiring clearance for Ihe first year only. 4. Congress completed action on legislation providing $25,000 year Iv pensions In former presidents, $10,000 to their widows and giving free office spare and mailing privileges to former chief executives.

Cost Of Living During July Set Another Record WASHINGTON (AP) The government reported today the cost of living in July set another record high. Its consumer price index rose two-tenths of 1 per cent to 123.9. The 1947-49 average is 100 in the index. Advances in transportation, food and medical care costs were chief ly responsible for the July rise The index has gone up in 21 of the last 23 months, there has been no decline since August 1956 Ewan Clague, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics pre dicted little change in the general cost of living for the next several months. He said food prices will continue down but the advent of fall cloth ing and new model automobiles, bolh expected to cost more, will have the effect of offsetting a drop in food prices. Transportation Cost Up Clague attributed two-thirds of the June-July increase to trans portation prices. The net advance in this field was 1 per cent. Gasoline prices jumped 2.2 per cent as price wars ended in sev eral localities. Used cars went up 2.9 per cent while there was no change in the average for new cars. Food prices increased one-tenth of 1 per cent. Higher prices for pom. eggs and mux more man offset reductions for fresh fruits and vegetables. The food index by if self for July was 121.7 per cent of the 1947-49 base, or 3.7 per cent higher than in July, 1957. The complete Index of consumer costs, at 123.9 was 28 per cent higher than in July a year, ago. At the same time. Ihe take home pay of factory workers rose to a record for any July, this rise was contrary to the usual sea sonal trend. The Bureau of Labor statistics figured the average take-home pay of a factory worker with three dependents was $75,118 a week, a rise of about 30 cents from June.

Supreme Court Rebuff Measure Meets Defeat WASHINGTON (AP) By a one vote margin, Congress members who wanted to hand the Supreme Court a major legislative rebuff bave been defeated. The bitter battle reached a cli max in the Senate Thursday night. A 41-40 vote killed a bill designed to prevent the court from striking down state laws not in direct con flict with federal laws on the same subject. '' The vote came on a motion of Sen. John J. Carroll (D-Colo) lo send the measure back to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Twenty-seven Democrats and 14 Republicans teamed up to put the motion across. Voting in opposi tion were 17 Democrats and 23 Republicans. The count was tied it 40-40 when Sen. Wallace F. Bennett (R-Ulahj cast the deci sive vote. The House passed the bill last month by a 240-155 vote, ignoring warnings that President Eisen hower might veto it. The bill provided that federal laws should not supersede state laws in the same field unless Con gress said so or unless there was a direct and irreconcilable con flict between them. It also contained a provision specifically restoring to the states the right to enforce their own antisubversive laws a section de signed to overcome the effect of the Supreme Court's decision in the Steve Nelson case. Nelson, a Pennsylvania Commu nist leader, was convicted under a state sedition law. The Supreme Court reversed the conviction on the ground that. Congress had as sumed jurisdiction in the field by enacting the Smith Act and other anti-Communist laws. The sedition laws of 42 states were invalidated by the ruling. Before Thursday night's vote, the Senate, was locked in dispute for three days over legislation aimed at recent decisions of the Su preme Court. During tne Datue. it Killed off by a 49-41 vole a bill to curb the review powers of the Supreme Court and to undo the effects of Decisions in several Communist cases. Pakistan Not Communistic, Minister Tells Rotarians The principles ' of Democracy are held in high regard in Pakis tan. Communism is practically non-existent. So says a Pakistani Methodist minister with the unlikely name of J. S. Qadir Bakhsh. He was featured speaker Thurs day noon at the weekly meeting of the Roseburg Rotary Club in the Umpqua Holel. The Rev. Mr. Bakhsh was also guest preacher Thursday night at the Dillard-Win-ston Church. He js organizer and pastor of (he Nazimabad Methodist Church in Karachi, the capital of Pakistan. He is in this country for a year of special study. Have No Party The Rev. Mr. Bakhsh reoorled that the Communists have no par ty and no. representatives in the country's parliament. "We will never join the Communists," he said. "We will fight for Democ racy." Pakistan, an agricultural state oi bu million people, is a new coun try in an old land. It was formed in 1947, dividing itself from India. The Rev. Mr. Bakhsh is part of a tiny Christian community among Moslems making up 95 per cent of the population. He said Christians comprise about 4 per cent. Despite the small Christian seg ment, the minister said, they take a big part in the country's poli tics. One of the big problems keeping Pakistan in an unsettled condition is the ardent desire to draw Kash mir into the Pakistani orbit. The i I ' : if . i NAACPTo Ask Supreme Court To Lift- Barrier LITTLE ROCK, Ark. I The National Assn. for the Advance ment of Colored People will ask the tt.S. Supreme Court today to knock ('own the legal barrier that would prevent Negro students from v ering Central High School Sept. 2. Gov. Orval Faubus kept his spe cial legislative session plans in readiness in case the NAACP is successful in overturning the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ac tion that would block integration at the school until- the Supreme Court has made the final decision. Little Hock's school board is go ing ahead 'on the assumption that Central will be an all-white high school when classes resume a week from next Tuesday. Registration begins today and if Negroes apply they will be told to attend .Horace Mann Negro High School here. Thurgood Marshall, attorney for Ihe. NAACP, said he would ask the Supreme Court to set aside the slay granted by the appeals court Thursday. If this action should be successful the way would be clear for Negroes lo re-enter the school on opening day. Faubus refused to back down immediately on his standby call for legislators to he ready for a session Monday when he heard that the 8th Circuit Court of Ap peals at St. Louis had stayed its own decision that integration must proceed. The governor said he wanted to be assured that the school board would take the opportunity afford ed it to avoid integration and that the stay which would hold Negro students out of school until the Su preme Court acted would remain in effect.
