Tories Draw
Fire on New
Fiscal Moves
LONDON (UP) The Labor
Party ripped into the Conservative
government's sudden anti-inflation
crackdown today with a full-scale
parliamentary attack and cries of
"trouble, gloom and austerity
again."
The Socialists demanded and got
an immediate House of Commons
debate on the government's five-
point financial plan that sent the
stock market into a multi-million
dollar dive.
The program, announced Mon
day by Chancellor of the Excheq
uer R. A. Butler, cut government
spending, ordered banks to tighten
up loans and more than doubted
down payments on instalment!
plan buying.
It was a return to a small meas
ure of wartime austerity in an ef
fort to halt sharply rising prices'
and boost exports.
The government crackdown was
in five parts:
1. It directed the Bank of Eng
land and through it the nation's
commercial banks to achieve "pos
itive and significant reduction" in
tending.
2. It announced a ddrive for spe
cial economy in government spend
ing overseas.
3. It asked cities and counties to
cut capital expenditure, particu
larly on public housing.
4. It ordered a reduction in capi
tal outlay in many nationalized
industries. Such as railroads and
coal mines.
5. It more than doubled (from
15 pr eent to 33H) the required
down payment on such consumer
goods as automobiles, radio and
television sets, refrigerators and
washing machines.'
It meant that to buy a low-
priced ($1,680) car on the "never
never" the British nickname for
the instalment plan the motorists
must pay $560 down. It will cost
$75 to get home delivery on a 14-
mch television set, and $19 on a,
$56 vacuum cleaner.
The strategy was to counteract
inflation and boost exports. It
would make the average Britain
with a weekly wage of $25.20 think
twice about instalment plan buy
ing and leave more items for ex
port. The stock market began to fall
even before Butler spoke, in an
ticipation of the controls he was
to announce, and six leading
stocks fell in cash value by more
than 196 million dollars. Excitedan
brokers called it Black Monday.'

United Press White House Writer
WASHINGTON (UP) Secre
tary of State Jclin Foster Dulles
said today the danger of war has
receded as a result of the Geneva
summit conference.
Dulles told a news conference
that the Geneva conference pro
duced good results.
At the head of the list of ac
complishments, he said the meeting
transformed American and Soviet
relations so that they became less
brittle, thus making it possible to
conduct diplomat ic negotiations
without fear of igniting a war.
He said this means the danger
of an East-West war has receded.
Report To Nation
Dulles' assessment of the Geneva
accomplishments followed pres
ident Eisenhower's report to the
nation last night.
The President said both the
United States and Russia must do
"some giving" at next October's
foreign ministers' meeting if the
"generalities" of Geneva are to
be moulded into peaceful settle
ments. Mr. Eisenhower said that
conference will provide the "acid
test."
Dulles also disclosed at his news
conference that the United States,
in talks with Red China at Geneva
starting next Monday, hopes to find
out if the Reds will accept the
principle of a cease fire in the
Formosa Straits.
Washington and Peiping an
nounced yesterday that the talks
on prisoners and other practical
matters between the two countries
would be held at the ambassador
level. .
Dulles Conciliatory
Dulles recalled that on April 26
he had said the first thing in any
talks with Red China was to find
out whether there was a possibil
ity of a cease fire in the Formosa
Straits. .
He also recalled his previous re
marks that it was important first
to find out whether the United
States must prepare for war or
peace in the Far East. And he
repeated that the United States
docs not negotiate with a pistol
aimed at its head.
TodiTV, however, Dulles spoke in
more conciliatory tones about Red
China and events since April 26.
Dulles said the United States on
July 11 proposed direct talks with
the Red -Chinese since they had
released some American prisoners.
stopped some of their warlike ac
tivities, and eased off in their
anti-American propaganda.
1sh Chance Of War
Turning to the Geneva confer
ence. Dulles said under question
ing that there had been a danger
of war before the Big Four meet
ing, although it was perhaps not
a great one. He said that danger
is less now.

I Board Seeking
Dunne Removal
MEDFORD (UP) The execu
tive beard of the Oregon Federa
tion of Labor yesterday submitted
a resolution to the union s conven
tion here calling on Gov. Paul
Patterson to remove T. Morris
Dunne as chairman of the
Stale Unemployment Compensa
tion Commission.
The resolution asked the gover
nor to replace Dunne "with some
person not as biased and who
would be more understanding of
the workers' problems."
Another resolution favored the
creation of a lieutenant governor's
pfwt in Oregon. The president of
the state Senate now functions as
governor in the absence of the
chief executive and succeeds to the
top post in cases of removal. The
resolution said the president of the
Senate is elected by only one house
of the Legislature and may not be
representative of the oeople.
Gov. Patterson will address the
convention tomorrow nnd the un
