But, he added, there can be no compromise with Commuiism. In this respect he referred to the "church of silence" and the per secuted Christmas in Iron Curtain lands.

In October, the bodies of four members of the parly were found a hilly area about 240 miles southeast of Aswam. Although batily decomposed, they were identified as those of John Arm strong. Belleville, N. J., the two French studeUs and the gue. Trackers reported they had found Shannon's footprints lead ing toward the Sudan Border. They said the tracks "indicated he was wounoed and walked un steadily leaning on a stick." An Egyptian medical examiner reported Nov. 3 that the guide had been "murdered" and the other three had died of thirst. Au thorities assumed Shannon had perished trying to make' his way alone across the desert. Al Gon)hourla said the foreigner believed to be Shannon was ar rested trying to cross the South Sudan border into Kenya without a passport. It said he carried no identifica tion papers but "looked like Shannon." It said the man claimed he was British and lived in Malta but re fused to meet British or U. S Embassy personnel. Egyptian authorities reported early in November that the evi de-ice at the place where the four bodies were found indicated there had been "a grueling battle" among them for a dwindling wa ter supply. The guide was described as an "inexperienced" native. Officials said that not even veteran desert travelers would have attempted the crossing at the time they set out.

Kint wr, FTC chair man and hejid man at the con ference, said with enough billions of dollars FTC could distribute federal cops so thick in the sto es that the public would be com pletely protected. "Nothing would be stolen," he said, "except our system of gov ernment and freedom." So his agency prefers to spend its six or seven millions and use its small staff to slap down the few real chiselers, and to depend on the big majority of business men to be honest. But FTC has decided it would sure help a lot if all us consum ers weren't natural suckers. Mainly, it's the phoney bargains we've got to watch out for, Kint ner and his helpers explained.
