McCloy and named career diplomat Walter J. Donnelly to succeed him as United States hlgn commissioner to Germany. Llewellyn E. Thompson, likewise a career foreign service officer, was named to take Donnelly's place as Ambassador and high commissioner for Austria; McCloy, former president of the International Bank, is retiring to private life after three years ser vice climaxed by the new peace contract and other agreements which wind up the occupation and nut West Germany in the Western defense camp. The changeover is expected about Aug. 1. Truman used the agreement for a plea to Bonn to ratify the peace contract, which congress aireaay has approved. He said that "The Federal Republic of Germany now has the great opportunity to Join the other nations of free Europe in safeguarding the peace and pro gress of the world. Qualifying Marks Count, Olympics HELSINKI OP) For the first time in Olympic Games history, events will count as Olympic rec ords if they exceed the present standards.

Saturday-July 19th Sunday-July 20th Show is Sunday, July 20 Support sent one of the Truman adminis tration's strongest bids for farm support in the November elections. The President called it a "valu able addition to the agricultural legislation which has been so im portant in maintaining a strong and stable farm economy and which has contributed so marked ly to a much needed increase in the American standard of rural living." Sets Aside Scale For one thing, the new law sets aside the sliding scale of price supports for the 1953 and 1954 crop years. Under this system, and excepting tobacco, the gov ernment could reduce support lev els down to 75 per cent of parity if it felt the supply justified such action. Parity is price for farm pro ducts determined by a legal for mula to be fair to farmers in re lation to prices of things they buy. "The principle of the sliding scale." Truman said In a state ment issued when he signed the bill, "is that the volume of farm production can and should be ad justed downward by dropping the level of support provided farmers. Delays Method Change "As I have stated repeatedly, this is neither a workable method of adjustment nor a fair one. It would provide farmers with the latest protection when protection is most needed. The new law also delays for two more years the shift from the old method of computing parity to a new method insofar as corn, wheat, cotton and peanuts are concerned. It provides parity for all six of the basic crops may be determined through 1955 by whichever of the two methods gives the higher price. Only four crops are affected at this time because the new formula gives a higher price for rice and tobacco. Chiang Doubts Blockade to Start Fighting TAIPEH. Formosa Presi dent Chiang Kai-Shek of Nation alist China said Friday he does not think a positive step against Red China such as a blockade of the Chinese coast would provoke another world war. The Nationalists do not need foreig . manpower to recover China from the Reds. Chiang said. But he added his forces need and are entitled to claim "other neces sary assistance." Chiang made these and other points in answers to questions submitted him by the Associated Press. He said last June 20 he wanted to give considerable thought to the questions which previously had been submitted in writing. What steps could in your opin ion be taken by the free world to halt Communist expansion in the Far East? "The free world should relin quish whatever illusions they might have regarding the Com munist regime," Chiang replied. "Effective and prompt steps should be taken so that the free world may achieve unity of pur pose and action in the Far East." Do you think positive steps such as United Nations or Ameri can, British and French blockade of Communist China would pro voke war? Do you think a block ade would cause Russia to aid Red China under the terms of the Moscow-Peiping treaty? "My answers to both these questions are in the negative," Chiang said. "In my view of all actions of the Kremlin will be based on the calculation that they will strength en the position of Soviet Russia as the 'motherland of international Communism'."
