Others were saying the same thing, and fearful of the same result. - In June of 1933 the Federal Reserve acted to lower the requirement on bank reserves. It resumed open market opera tions in buying Treasury bills. The Treasury issued no more long term bonds. Rediscount rates were -cut at federal reserve banks. The relaxation of credit had a tonic effect. This year credit has been "easy" as the volume of bank loans declined. Interest rates on prime paper have been very low in recent months, though last month there was a stiffening in yields re quired on government and mu nicipal bonds. - Now Business Week calls for a halt in "wholesale juggling of re serve requirements," fearing that such action would touch off a new wave of inflation. It praises the steps taken last year as being helpful "in ameliorating the eco nomic readjustment from boom conditions to a more normal leveL" It is concerned, however, over the increasing pressure on the Reserve System "to make money still easier in an attempt to speed up an economic upturn." Reserve and Treasury authori ties have been sensitive to politi cal as well as economic considera tions. Their goal is to avoid further inflation and damaging de flation. In a recent a nn ounce men' of plans for refunding a note issue, the Treasury declared its purpose to make short-term bor rowings as one of "active ease" on credit, in order to allow ample (Continued on editorial page, 4). Salem Traffic Accidents Fall 28 Per Cent Salem had 666 traffic accidents in the first five .months of the year, and this total is a 28 per cent reduction from last year's accidents in the comparable pe riod. Police Chief Clyde A. War ren announced Thursday. Radar was given the most cre dit by Warren for the accident reduction, followed by additional one-way streets and the traffic education program that went along with both factors. The police chief noted that the use of a radar device to check the speed of traffic started a year ago this month. Since then, he said, there has been much less speeding by motorists in Salem. Another indication of slower speeds, Warren added, is an in surance company study here, showing that auto damage claims were 32 per cent less in value during the first nine months of radar control than in the com parable period a year before.

The newly discovered tomb is believed to be tnat of Sankhet, of the Third Dynasty, who ruled Egypt about 2750 B. C 4,700 years ago. Golden Coffin His golden coffin is expected to be found inside the sarcophagus in the rock funeral chamber into which Zakaria Goneim burrowed last Monday. Goneim, chief inspector of the Egyptian Antiquities Department, has been digging at Sakkara since 1951. Last December he unearthed there the remnants of an unfin ished step pyramid buried beneath the desert sands. Goneim said his find is "un doubtedly the most important since the discovery of King Tutankha men's t6mb in 1922" and possibly more so because the Sakkara Pha raoh ruled about 1,200 years before Tutankhamen. Beats King Tut The discoverer of the Cheops so lar boats, 32-year-old Kamal El Malakh, is also claiming that his find is more important even than King Tut's tomb. So far, the only intact tombs dis covered in Egypt are King Tut's, of the 18th Dynasty, and lesser tombs of kings of the 22nd Dynasty at Tanis. Thousands of others which have been discovered had been looted by ancient grave robbers who stripped them of their gold and jewels. Goneim said "It was only by lucky chance that this tomb es caped being looted." Solon Sent Copy of Talk To 4,108,500 LOS ANGELES () Rep. Sam uel W. Yorty (D Calif) Thursday admitted mailing tinder his postage-free franking privilege 4,108, 500 copies of a speech by him in serted in the Congressional Record of May 12. The Republican congressional campaign committee in Washing ton said the mailing broke all rec ords for size and that at a cost of 2.9 cents a letter, the cost to tax payers for the mailing to Califor nia residents from Washington amounted to $119,146.50. The talk was entitled "Let's Build a Better America." Yorty, campaigning for a U.S. Senate seat, told a news confer ence that no such large mailing had been contemplated until "the Republicans sent smear material through the mails." He referred to a, letter mailed by "Democrats for U.S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel" and signed by Henry Dockweiler. The letter accused Yorty, Republican Kuch el's opponent in the senatorial race, of being "the candidate of the radical wing of the (Demo cratic) party." Yorty said that in the "smear" letter, "my opponent relates a lot of things, some out of context, de letions and innuendoes, all dating back to the 1930s." The congressman estimated that Kuchel has spent about $500,000 on the present campaign, and said "my committees may have spent as much as $50,000, I don't really know."

Senate Votes Ike's Public HousingJSill WASHINGTON UB - President Eisenhower's housing program, liberalizing aids to home owners and providing for 35,000 public housing units in each of the next four years, was approved by the Senate Thursday on ft voice rote. Passage of the bill was hailed as a major administration victory by leaders in the Senate, particularly in viewf the vote for public bous ing. The House version of the legis lation did not follow this Eisen hower recommendation. The measures now go to a Sen ate - House conference committee, which will reconcile the many dif ferences in the two bills. (Sen. Cordon (R-Ore) favored the bill. Sen. Morse ( Ind-Ore ) opposed it.) The Senate version would lower down payments and lengthen re payment periods for homes bought with government - insured mort gates.

Because of "treachery and trea son," plus the scientific abilities of the Soviet Union, Dulles said "our potential enemies have a knowledge vastly superior to that of some of the nations that we count as friends. Dulles went before the Senate House Committee on Atomic En ergy to throw his weight behind President Eisenhower's request that present secrecy laws be. re laxed so the United States can pre pare its allies to "counter the kind of atomic warfare" the Commu nists now are believed capable of waging. Describing the "very strict sec recy requirements" enacted in 1946 as outdated, Dulles said they have become "a real handicap in our collective effort with our allies to build necessary strength to resist aggression."

Security Council over rode Russian objections 10-1 Thursday and took up Thailand's plea for a peace patrol to check on the threat to Thailand, resulting from the 7-year-old war in Indo china. I This action brought the Indo china conflict to the U.N. for the first time. The' council acted with unusual speed at a meeting lasting only 62 minutes. Thailand's case was introduced by Pote Sarasin, Thai ambassador to Washington. He told the council the situation in the Indochinese territories bordering Thailand had become so explosive there was a real danger of invasion of his country. He urged the council to send a j &X),000 for operation and main peace observation committee to J tenance. Thailand as an impartial group to House Cuts Fnnds observe events and report to the President Eisenhower had budg- , closed with the statement that "This is the time for the council to act." Semyon K. Tsarapkin, Soviet delegate, said talks here would hamper the Geneva negotiations. His opposition indicated to some delegates the- Russians likely would veto any resolution to send a peace observation group to Thai land. In that case, Thailand could appeal to the General Assembly, where there is no veto. McCarthy, Defense Office In Deadlock WASHINGTON Senator Mc Carthy and the Defense Depart ment got into a deadlock Thursday night on the question of keeping secret the names of 133 suspected security risks who, the senator says, are working in U.

The Defense Department replied that it wanted the names but with no secrecy string attached. It told the Wisconsin senator in a letter that it "must be free to act (with respect to any individuals on the list, without consulting you." McCarthy then told newsmen he would not hand over the names until the Pentagon promises not to make theni public. It is "a firm and basic" policy of his investigat ing subcommittee, he said, not to publicize names until the persons have had a chance to testify before the subcommittee.
