Agreements have been made to re-arm Germany as part of the western defense force, and plans arc set for the tremendous western defense buildup. , I lie North Atlantic council Monday asked Sir Oliver Franks, British ambassador to the I’nitcd States, to become its first secretary general when Hie organization sets up permanent headquarters in Paris. After the decisions, most of the ministers prepared to leave Lisbon. However, the American, Hritish and French foreign ministers are staying for important talks on German and Aus trian problems. 'I he officials say the I'ig Three western powers soon may make a joint declaration calling on Pussia to help speed tip independence for Austria. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation . . , -announced Monday a defense loan of *12,000,000 to the Glenn L. Martin co., manufactures of guided missiles, pilotless bombers and Jet and commercial airplanes. The loan was ordered by Defense Mobilizer Charles E. Wilson aa' part of the company's $32,000,000 refinancing plan, the RFC said. This is the third RFC loan to the Martin company in five years.1 Martin already has repaid more than half of the money owing on 1917 and 1950 loans, which totaled $29,600,000, according to acting1 RFC Administrator Leo Neilson. An outbreak of hoof and mouth disease . .. . . . has been reported in Saskatchewan, Can. Provincial government j officials said in Victoria, B.C. Monday, they were contemplating the stopping of cattle shipments "in every direction". W. R, Gunn, British Columbia livestock commissioner, said Van couver's main source of meat, Alberta, may be shut off by closing the border between the two provinces to prevent possible spread of the disease. Agriculture Secretary Charles F. Brannan expressed confidence Monday that the Canadian depaitment of agriculture would be able to localise the outbreak of the deadly disease. lie ipredicted that the outbreak and resulting ban on Canadian meat Importations Into the United States would "make very little impact on the American livestock economy." Broadcasts of the House committee hearings . . . .. . were banned on radio and television by Speaker Sam Rayburn. The ban includes shooting movies of such proceedings. Rayburn told the newsmen house rules do not authorize broadcasts of the proceedings of the house itself. He said he has interpreted these rules as applying to the committees as well as to the house. A spokesman for the American Broadcasting co. says the ruling by Rayburn is not in the best interest of service to the public. He says it has been shown that the only purpose in televising congressional proceedings is to amplify the knowledge of the American citizen. ♦ ♦ • Reversal of the atom spy convictions ... ... of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg was refused Monday by the United Stales court of appeals, which said it had “no power” to modify the death sentences. The court, in a two-to-one vote, also affirmed the conviction of Mor ton Sobell, tried with the Rosenbergs and sentenced to 30 years in prison for atomic espionage. The defendants had appealed, in part, on the ground that the sen tence was excessive because they had passed atomic secrets to Russia when the nation "was an ally of this country and praised as such by leading patriotic Americans." The court held that the friend or enemy status of a foreign nation had no bearing on the criminality of handing it United States secrets. It note dfurther that the sentence had been based on the fact that the espionage had continued beyond 1944 and 1945 and into the "cold war." On the political side Monday, . . . .. . President Truman has not given notice that he has decided to run for re-election. On his return for a Key West vacation, the President plans to begin a campaign tour on behalf of his party and friends. He has promised to campaign for the re-election of Sen. Benton (D.-Conn, i and to held Michael DiSalle, ex-price stabilizer, in his race for the Democratic senatorial nomination in Ohio. The Senate approved Monday . .. .. . the President's nomination of Harry A. McDonald to the head of the Reconstruction Finance corporation. The vote was 46 to 23, with 16 Republicans and seven Democrats among the opposition. McDonald was approved after a two-hour debate, with Sen. Paul Douglas (D.-Ill.) leading the opposition. Douglas said he felt that Mc Donald, a former Detroit investment banker, was not "strong” enough to head the multi-million dollar government lending agency. The President once said he would run the RFC himself if the Senate delayed action on McDonald much longer. Talks with Britain will start Saturday . . . .. . concerning the Suez Canal and Sudan questions, according to Fgyptian Premier Aly Maher. The Pasha has some fighting words. He says if the .Egyptian govern ment does not get what it wants, it will join the Egyptian people in their struggle. , i . i i i i Married Students Get Together, Decide to Form Organization Thirteen students attending a married students organization meeting last week decided by una nimous vote that those present would constitute a temporary "married students council" until an election date is set.
