By DONALD E. HITH
" CANBERRA, Australia, Mon
day, March 11 John Foster
Pulies said today, "We can con
fidently conclude . . , that inter
national communism, now imposed
upon many of the peoples of Asia
It a passing and not a permanent
phase."
But other developments, he
. warned the SEATO Council of
Minister at the opening of their
third annual meeting, "reveal
characteristics which should keep
us on guard."
- "The open Support given by the
Communist Chinese to Soviet col
onialism and imperialism and to
Soviet defiance of the United Na-'
(ions has ominous implications for
all free Asian nations." the V. S.
aecretary of state declared.
"These actions give us all am
ple warning of the true nature
of the Chinese Communist regime.
They also emphasize the continu
ing importance of the , military
aide of 'SEATO, of the work of
our military advisers and of our
combined military planning. All
of this has been highly effec
tive." ....
"- The council is the policy-making
body of the eight-nation alliance
formed at Manila in lft.Vt to deter
Red aggression in Southeast Asia.
Prepared to consider countermeas
ures to meet shifting Communist
: tactics, the ministers convened in1
the green-carpeted house of Au
tralia's Parliament.

the three-day deliberation!.
A source close to SEATO opera
tions said Communist tactics in
the treaty area have been shifting
in the last year from a threat of
armed aggression to a ; wide
range of political, economic and
other means to subvert Southeast
Asian member nations. One factor
is the promotion of neutralism.
Because el these changes, the
council's deliberations era expect
ed to emphasize:
1. Recommendation that mem
ber nations continue their present
military strength and measures
designed to protect their internal
security.
2. Steps to thwart Red efforts to
lorce the free Asian nations to
become more economically de
pendent on the Communist bloc. 1
I. Need for adjustment In
SEATO programs to meet, any
further significant changes in
communist tactics.
4. Initiating a multilateral cul

understanding among member na
tions. The council Is expected to ap
prove a SEATO budget or about
$700,000 to cover a period of IS
months.
Price Probe Plan Revealed By Kefauvei
WASHINGTON'. MarcTt 10 (-
Chairman Kefauver tD-Tenn) an
nounced today the Senate Anti
trust and Monopoly subcommittee
will investigate price increases in
what he called "administered
price" industries.
The senator said the "distin
guishing characteristic" of these
industries is "the possession of mo
nopoly power by a few big com
panies which produce most of the
industry's output."
In a statement announcing the
investigation, Kefauver said that

increases in administered price
Industries."
He added that the "tight mon
ey" policy now in effect "can
have very little influence' on such
price increases since the big com
panies in administered price in-
austries can ana do raise prices
even wnen demand is fallme."
Kefauver also said that in some
of these industries "increases in
prices have been accompanied by
decreases in production," adding
this means that the industry not
only, is charging the consumer
higher prices but is providing few
er jobs for labor.
"This situation 'is particularly
true in the field of (arm machin
ery, where rising unemployment
has accompanied steadily higher
prices being charged to farmers
for machinery and equipment," he
said.
Kefauver said "other adminis
tered price industries in which
prices have recently been going
up" include steel-, petroleum,
newsprint, automobiles and many
types of food.
No date was set for starting
public hearings.

is announced. We can be as politely indifferent
to Writ t-a-lerter Week as we can to Eal-an.
Artichoke Week, or Pty-Your-Dentist Week. But
now comes a week that puts us in a reflective
mood! It is Newspaper Comics Week, March
10-17. "" " ""'
- Our reflection is sparked by the fact that the
newspaper comic strip, as modern art form,,
has been with us soma sixty years. This moans
that three generations of Americans have been
getting chuckles and chills, breathless moments
nd belly-laughs from the cartoon art in their'
newspapers. "'
The comic strip Is the newspaper's own form of
audiente entertainment. It was in the newt,
paper that it originated; it was here that it de
veloped, flourished, and achieved excellence. In
the newspaper, therefore and at a time tike
this is the appropriate setting for a few obser
vations en the comics.
like many other things in the newspaper, the
comics can easily be taken for granted. Seeing
them every day, it is easy enough to regard them
at a commonplace, and to lose sight of their in
herent worth and lustre. Yet they continue to
tickle and toate, titillate and thrill, a bigger
audience than any other form of entertainment.
It's gratifying reflection that newspapers,
thankt to the comics, actually have been in show
business for the past six decades. -
Hat it ever occurred to you that your favorite
newspaper comics have been doing the job, not
jutt once a week, but tix and seven times a
week and for quite a number of years?
So here's to Blondie, Skeezix, Snuffy, Tracy, Rip,
Annie, M:ckey Mouse, Buz. and the rest of our
comics. They're not all comic, by any' meant
(some of them purvey romance, heartache, mys
tery and thrills, rather than humor) but they are
consistently entertaining.
And here's ato the talented people whe create
these "ihowt" for us, and for you. We salute
them for tho enduring quality of their work
for their long-time labors without retort to "sum
mer repeats" . or substitutions. And-we blett
them because they give ut thoto bright mo
ment with nary an interrupting commercial. .
