major pieces of legislation, among

000 in military and economic help
lo other nations this year. The
Senate Appropriations Committee,

same subject.
The measure, opposed by the
administration, was relumed to
(he Senate Judiciary Committee

By EDDY CILMORE i
LONDON (API The boss at the
Tower of London confessed to
Scotland Yard today he set off the
burglar alarm to see how well
England's crown jewels are being
guarded.
"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,

government's security program to
all federal employes not just
those in sensitive jobs.
2. The House adonled i resolu
tion calling on the U.N. General
Assembly lo consider setting up a
permanent police force to patrol
areas where peace is threatened.
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.

ing an apparent breaking and en

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

Gov. Orval Faubus kept his spe
cial legislative session plans in
readiness in case the NAACP is

tion that would block integration

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.
