The British are. a proud people,
and long proud of their business
standards. With manufacture and
trade the base on which they pro
vided a larie population with a
relatively high living standard,
-they bavo set high store on the
keeping of contracts and the meet
ing of obligations. So It must have
been with great humiliation' that
the British government decided to
ask the U. S. and Canada to forego
payment of interest on their post
war borrowings. Notice also is;
served that Britain may ask for a i
further' loan from the United
States. For this they would put up
collateral in the form of British
held MS. securities.
This sequence of the Sues, ad
venture exposes the economic dif
ficulties under which Britain has
been suffering. Trying to improve
somewhat the living standards of
its people, who suffered for years
from war-imposed austerity, and
at the same time to expand Brit
ish exports to finance the imports
of foodi and raw materials, infla
tion took its bit, and Britain's
dollar exchange has been dwin
dling, Perhaps its leaders grew
desperate as they saw this decline
and foresaw the lot of the Middle
Eastern oil resources on which
their country was dependent
hence the strike to regain control
of the Sues,
While the United States doesn't
like to cancel Interest due and

second floor, officials said.:
Mrs. Bainter and two other chil

across the street. Bainter, a mill
worker, was at his job. -
Whea they sighted the flames,
the neighbor rushed across the
street with a ladder and broke a
window on the second floor. How
ever, a blast of hot air and flames
forced him to retreat.
' Two trucks from the Willamlna
fire department answered the
alarm at 1:30 p.m. but the home
was burned to the ground when
they reached the site. Cause of the
fire was not known, Willamlna Fire

Italy Denies
Entry Visa ta .
High Russian
- Rome, Dec. 7 (ft The Italian
government today dealt a humil
iating diplomatic blow to Russia
by canceling the entry visa of high-
ranking Mikhail Suslov "in the
interests of public order." ' v '
The slap in the face to Suslov,
a secretary of the Soviet Commu
nist party, - came as he - rolled
through Eastern Europe in a train
en route to address the Italian
Communist party's tth ' national
congress opening here tomorrow
i The Italian government earlier
had refused permission for Suslov
to land here in a TU104 Jetliner
direct from Moscow.
The clear warping to Russia to
keep its fingers out of the Italian
political pie climaxed mounting
anti-Soviet feeling in Italy.
Italians were appalled at Soviet
ruthlcssness .in Hungary. . Parades
and anti-Soviet demonstrations
followed the Budapest fighting in
most of Italy's big cities. ,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 (AP)-The Air Force reported to
day that a Snark snapped its controls somewhere over the

missile was fired a Wednesday
from the test center at Patrick
Air Force Base, Florida.
Plaa Oolliaed
The plan waa for it to fly south
eastward over the ocean, then be
gin a series of turns which would
put it into a square-shaped pat

For some reason, which may
