GONZALES United press Correspondent Washington (U.R) The United States, which didn't fight in Egypt last fall, is kicking in about 70 per cent of the money to help the United Nations un tangle problems left by the British-French-Israeli invasion. This country is putting up $18, 330,000 of the $26,500,000 being spent to clear the Suez Canal and to station U.N. Emergency Forces at Middle Eastern trouble points. If all goes well the United States will get $9,500,000 back some day. A minimum of $8,830, 000 is earmarked as a gift. Just a Loan The United States in early January offered to advance half of the $10 million asked by the United Nations for Suez clear ance operations. This $5 million Is to be repaid. So far eight nations have pledged another $6 million for Suez clearance. Therefore a total of $11 million is on hand for this project. The cost is estimated at $10 million or more. Canada, Australia, Norway and Western Germany each have pledged $1 million; Sweden $800,000;- Den mark $500,000; Italy $400,000; and the Netherlands $300,000. Belgium was asked to chip in but declined. Stationing of U.N. Emergency Forces in the Middle East is go ing to cost about $16,500,000 this year. The United States will provide $6,580,000 of this as a gift. Beyond these costs the United States provided air transporta tion to move the special U.N. police forcelo the Middle East. The commercial equivalent would have cost $2,250,000. This too is a gift. The United States also is pro viding $4,500,000 of services and supplies for the U.N.E.F. This is to be repaid when the Defense Department submits its bill to the United Nations. How will the .United States get its $5 million for the Suez clearance back? When U.N. Secretary-General Dag- Hammar skjold asked for the money he said it would be paid back "eventually." He didn't say how. There is a move underway now to get the repayment funds from a surcharge on canal tolls. This, however, hasn't been accepted by Egypt which collects the tolls. Britain, France and Israel, who joined in the Egyptian in vasion, aren't paying anything to clear the canal. The Soviet Union has refused to pay any of the U.N. Emergency Force costs.

(U.R) The do-it-yourslef craze has entered the barber shop at least the local shop of Armand K. Johnson. If you seek a shave and hair cut in Johnson's establishment, you'll be directed to the "Free Shave Booth." There you are of fered shaving cream, a choice of three different models of safety razors, lotions and towels. After shaving yourself, you sit down and have your hair cut by a barber. Total cost $1.10, or the regular haircut price. Johnson feels that shaving is a losing proposition for a barber shop these days. He says it takes up too much of "the barber's time, while its contribution to income is relatively small. More over, he feels that men today ac tually prefer to shave them Television Quiz Contestants Tied New York '(U.R) Metropoli tan Opera baritone Robert Mer rill and shoemaker Michael Delia Rocca tied' at $4,000 in an opera match Sunday night on the TV quiz show ' "The "$64,000 Challenge."

Mexico Penologists Bet All Thieves Are Not Criminals Mexico City (U.R) Mexican penologists are betting more than a million dollars on the idea that not all thieves are criminals. Mexico's Fabrics de Hombres Nuevos will look more like a college campus than a prison and is expected to revolutionize Mexico's penal system. Inmates will live in open dor mitories without bars or locked doors. There will be a special hotel-like building for prisoners' overnight visits with their wives. Ramon Marcos Ramos, archi tect of the new prison, said that Mexicans, unlike some others, may be forced to steal to eat. To Train Men "For this reason," he added "our present system, patterned after those in the United States and England, is impractical. What Mexican prisoners need is not a maximum security institution, but a place where there chances o frespectable em Dloyment can become a real hope. "That is why I call my new buildings, not a prison, but Fabrica de Hombres Nueva, (factory of new men)." Mexican penologists plan to make new men by training them to earn a decent living. A com mittee will be set up to find jobs for prisoners once they complete their sentences. Inmates will be taught to be electricians, do machine shop work, tailoring, shoe repair, or carpentry. Dormitories, workshops, and administration units will be separated by wide, grass-covered lawns and connected by shaded walks. May Be Popular Authorities expect the mod' ernistic stone and glass buildings now going up on tne outskirts of Mexico City, to be completed by July 1.

Once again we dis covered new oil deposits that will help supply the 830 gallons of petroleum everyone in the U. S. will use this year . . . and the 1000 gallons they'll need by 1965. i With oil becoming more difficult and expensive to find, Standard's investment in exploration is increasing . . . $119,000,000 last year. That's one way we can find new oil to help keep ahead of the nation's growing need for products from petroleum. Prores In the West means . . U.

As things now stand, visiting wives must share their husbands' cells. But the new prison will have a 20-room "hotel" for com plete privacy. Penologists say they're not worried about ' the lack of iron bars, locked doors, or high walls.
