ROBERTS JR. ; Associated Pre$$ News Analyst PRESIDENT EISENHOWER and Secretary Dulles took considerable pains this week, before leaving for the cur rent Bermuda conference, to reassure America's associates around the world that she has no intention of using her money as a club over them, or of forging chains for them through her position as the strongest member of a vast alliance. ; ' v .i . , . .

But Dulles addressed himself; "I'm in full accord with the:a.s much to the sentiment as to Dulles statement. The Secre- ' tary was, in one way. re plying to Sen ator McCar thy. McCar thy, voicing a sentiment which pops up naturally in many people when the Al lies do not seem to want what the United States I- .1 ''iYrl J. M Roberts Jr. wants, had said other nations should be told what to do about trade with Red China on pain of losing American aid. Referring to an Army report of some 600 unaccounted-for American prisoners of war in Korea, McCarthy declared in his Nov. 25 radio-TV address: 'Perfumed Notes' "Now, what are we going to do about it? Are we going to continue to send perfumed notes, following the style of the Truman-Acheson regime? Or are we going to take the only position an honorable nation can take namely, that every uniformed .American packs the honor, pride and power of this entire nation on his shoulders." McCarthy said the Chinese Reds could be forced to release the Americans by an economic blockade. He declared: "We can do this by merely saying to our Allies and alleged Allies If you continue to Business Fads and Fancies The three billion dollar shoe industry is in a hectic race try ing to keep up with the rapidly changing preferences of Mr. and Mrs. Consumer. For example, heels of women's j .shoes: ; Low-heeled shoes used to be preferred by talL slim types who didn't want to look taller than their male escorts. Now they're being snatched up by ' women of all sizes and shapes as fast as retailers ' can stocK them. A definite trend toward lower heels even for formal wear was reported this week by many of the 650 manufacturers who unveiled their spring and sum mer lines at the Popular Price Shoe Show of America in New York City. The reason? Design ers have come up with some- ! thing new a rare combination of style and comfort. Another trend is being shaped by the current do-it-yourself fad. For amateur house paint ers and fixer-uppers, the indus try is bringing out a shoe that's rugged enough for a heavy con struction job and good looking . enough for a country club dance. It's a combination work and play shoe. , Demand right now is shifting in the direction of softer, more flexible shoes. As one industry spokesman put it this week: "The era of the stiff shoe is as dead as that of the stiff collar." EGYPT WINS IN THE Self-Determination I The political parties advocat-j lng merger of the Sudan with Egypt won a decisive victory in' the election of a lower house of. Parliament, virtually complete! returns at Khartoum showed, this week, ! The pro-Egyptian Nationalist; Union Party won 44 seats in the; 87-member House. The Socialist; Party, which -won four seats, and one independent, came out for unification with Egypt - : Unionist Majority The Unionist Party also claimed support of four other independents. This would give the Unionists a majority. Only 20 seats went to the Umma Party which had cam paigned for complete independ ence. Independents won a total of 14 seats and the Southern Party 9. i Five seats are being reserved for Sudan voters who are college i . ; fafes t Disavows r . : . ... : - i the authors thereof. He stood slightly away from the political melee surrounding the Wiscon sin senator by omitting his name, though quoting him. A direct objective, from all appearances, was the minds of the people with whom he and the President conferred this weekend, and all of those with whom they have to confer regu larly in the conduct of the cold war. Reaction Abroad Newspapers abroad have been critical ever since the beginning of the Eisenhower administra tion of what they call the influ ence of domestic political affairs and primarily domestic political figures on American foreign pol icy. Some of them have even gone so far as to ask whether McCarthy or Eisenhower has the greater power. , The French administration, for instance, wonders why it should be criticized for not slam ming the European Defense pro gram right through reluctant parliament when Americans are so familiar with a reluctant Congress. Yet- one of the argu ments me,t by pro'ponents of EDC is that they are subservi ent to the United States. That is i far worse for them than the common accusation here that! (American diplomats feel inferi or, and act accordingly, when confronted with British diplo matic experience.

ThiSj upper house will be made up of j 30 senators to be elected early! this month and 20 to be ap pointed by Sir Robert Howe, the British governor general. Anglo-British Rule For years the British have Quote Vice President Nixon, speaking in Bangalore, In dia: The United States could be friendly with - commu nists "the day Russia and Red China decide they no longer want to impose their will on any other nation." Wi 1 1 Not. D i eta - '''''' ' " !' ' will differ with her Allies several points: He and President Eisenhower "do not propose to throw away" the assets of Allied cooperation "by blustering nd domineering methods." No Right to Dictate "It is the clear and firm pur pose of this administration to treat other free nations as sov ereign equals whether they be large or small, strong or weak." He espoused a policy ,of j'a spirit of justice, forbearance and magnanimity." America does not have the right, he said, because she assists other countries, "to take them over, to dictate their trade pol icies and to make them our sat ellites." SUDAN predominated in joint Anglo- Egyptian rule of the million square mile Sudan. After years of friction, Britain and Egypt agreed last February to hold the elections, which started in mid October. It will not be until 1955 that the Sudanese decide on the ac tual question of whether they want independence or union with Egypt. In Cairo, Egyptian President Mohamed'Naguib told the Su danese to be on guard against possible moves by a cunning imperialistic power." He men tioned no .names but he obvious ly referred to Britain. Egypt and Britain have not yet solved their other big dis puteover demands that British troops be removed from the Suez Canal Zone. Britain re portedly has agreed to the prin ciple of troop withdrawal but negotiation. I They are dependable as Allies, he said, "just because they are unwilling to be anyone's satel lites. They will freely sacrifice much in a common effort, but they will no more be subservient to the United States than they will be subservient to Soviet Russia. , "Let us be thankful they are that way and that there still survives so much rugged deter mination to be free. If that were not so we would be isolated in the world, and in mortal peril." Appeal to the World In this vein, the secretary's statement became not only an answer to a political faction in the United States and a state ment of policy to the world, but also an appeal to the nations, Arts & Sciences IS SNAKE Tests on Humans The University of Miami an nounced that a few polio patients have recovered after receiving test injections of snake venom. It was the first disclosure that the preparation had been given to humans. A year ago Dr. Murray Sand ers, head of the university re search team, reported that cobra venom, in hundreds of experi ments with monkeys, struck di rectly at polio infections of the spinal motor cells. This week i report by Dr. Sanders made no claim of the long-awaited cure for polio in humans' That, he said, must await prolonged controlled treat ments under supervision of physicians, equipped to pursue wide-scale studies. "Ill-considered use of cobra venom or its derivitives," Dr. Sanders ' warned, "can produce great damage. During four years, the re search team experimented with 2,000 rhesus monkeys. Some monkeys given the venom over 24 hours after brain injections As the St-' ACCUSER-Amerkan deltgal Ledg charged Russia had directed torture. te to If s with whom he must do business, to drop their fears.

As for Europe, much will de pend, of course, on what the British and French say back home about how the policy worked at Bermuda. VENOM A of poho virus recovered. Others which did not get the venom were killed or paralyzed by the polio injections. Dr. Sanders said the venom preparation has been effective against all types of polio. Scientists have known for some years, he said, that a con flict can be created between two infectious agents so that an ani mal harboring both can survive without infection from either. So far, the work has been based on the fact that both cobra ven om and polio attack the motor cells, and on the hope that the interference phenomenon would apply. j Polio can kill j these motor cells, so that the muscles they serve become useless. The prob lem was to avert polio's action on the cells. A link in the chain of discov ery was provided when two Johns Hopkins doctors found that severing a muscle nerve caused a chemical change in the spinal cord motor cells affected by polio. This chemical 'change involved a decrease in the activ JtfLS Korean Atrocities StoryJNas Told in the United VICT1MS-U.S. Department of Dtfons released photo v showing bodies of political prisoners suffocated In caves - whoso ontroiKos (background) had boon Mated.

When the enzymes were depressed in ac tivity, the motor cells offered resistance to polio. Last March, two English sci entists published a report show ing that boiled cobra venom de pressed the two enzymes. "This was the final bit of the puzzle for University of Miami scientists," Dr. Sanders said. "It explained what they had dem onstrated that injections of the venom toxoid in the living ani mal caused cellular changes and an attendant resistance to polio." NeVHeart Operation An operation has been per fected in which veins are trans planted from a patient's forearm to arteries that supply the heart muscles to provide relief in heart ailments.

Underground Camera .Army engineers have devel oped a camera to snap pictures inside a small hole in the ground. The new camera fits-inside a hollow tube about three feet long and less than three inches in diameter. Near the bottom of the tube is a circle of quartz glass, backed by a mirror which reflects the wall of the hole. The camera, operated electrically, takes pictures of the reflection at every three-quarters of an inch of depth. Mining and oil interests are interested because color photo graphs taken underground are valuable irv locating ores and oil strata.

The President and his advisers want to shift some of the re sponsibilities back to people, cities and states. Take the farm program. The administration would like to get rid of the food surpluses that show up ev ery year but it wants this done through the farmers own efforts. The govern ment is hold i n g farm goods worth $2,600,000,000 and has title to another 1 'i Sigrid Arn billion dollars' worth under loan and purchase agreements. The government buys to keep by law. In the case of butter. to support the price. That means the taxpayer who eats butter not onlv rontrihntps tn its tun. port but also pays e higher price to put butter on his dinner table. Two-Price Plan Eisenhower's farm advisers an 18-man committee of college professors, farmers and consum er experti came up after months of work with -a two-price idea which may go to the next ; when the market price drops be- , low " parity." Parity is a price stated by 1e.w to give the farmer a fair break. But this new two-price idea would permit surpluses to flow to the world market at whatever the world market would pay. Take labor policy. Some unions are demanding that the Taft Hartley Law be junked.' The President and Secretary of La bor Mitchell say they have no intention of trying- to get it pulled off the books but that they are willing to propose changes. Probably the most important indication here was Mitchell's statement in a speech before the CIO convention that he'd like to see more labor disputes settled simply by talks between em ployers an workers, with Wash ington out of the picture. Stable Doflar The administration hopes to back up all of its programs by a dollar that remains stable so that prices in the stores will neither jump like they did dur ing the Korean War nor drop like they did in the '3. Both the Federal Reserve Board and the Treasury DeDart- ment are working on this part of the program. Early this year there was a tremendous jump in the number of people and businesses who wanted to borrow money. The administration feared that if everyone got all the money he wanted it would set off worse inflation because there wouldn't be enough goods to match the money and people would start bidding up prices. The Treasury Department ! boosted interest rates naiH on some government obligations ' up to 2.3 per cent on 90-day Treasury notes in June. It be--came more expensive to borrow money because banks and others with money to invest found these notes more attractive than' loans to private borrowers. Some of the would-be borrowers found they could wait. . When business slackened a lit tle. Federal Reserve went into the open market to buy govern ment bonds. For each bond bought money went into some bank. That bank had more to lend. "More money to lend means the ' cost o borrowing drops. That's what's happening. Inter est on the 90-day notes was down to 1.3 percent in Novem ber.. Even How of Money ; The thing for which adminis tration advisers are struggling is an even flow of money, which should bring about a "stable dollar" and pretty constant prices at the stores. . -The administration will be happy if it can hit a "price plateau" on which prices will Amain about the same. It figures stable prices will make it easier to bring about the other changes which will be proposed in Jan uary. . (AH Rights RttrrotA. AP Nrwrjeatures)
