SP 2-5904 Political Pincers Holds Macmillan In Tight Grip London GPi Angry Social ists and rebel right-wing Con servatives moved today to ex ploit the Macmillan govern ment's split over raising Brit ain's national debt to main tain the welfare state. It was a political pincers move that caught Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan be tween two extremes. It had ominous overtones not only for his personal political fu ture but for his staunchly prc American policy including U.S. military bases in Britain. The issue was raised when Chancellor of the Exchequer Peter Thorneycroft resigned with the disclosure Britain could not maintain the pres ent level of cradle - to - grave benefits without raising gov ernment spending. Repudiated Policy Macmillan was pledged to hold the line but he repudi ated the policy rather than tamper with welfare benefits which cost Britain 5,600,000,' 000 last year compared with $4,200,000,000 for defense. The Laborites, who origin ally sponsored such benefits as free orange juice for preg nant mothers, free medical treatment for all plus retire ment and other benefits; roared to the welfare state's defense, cost or no cost. The right-wing Conserva tives, usually known as the "Suez rebels" because of their past opposition to gov ernment Middle East policies, went to Thorneycroft's aid with equal vehemence. They promised to continue the quarrel in Parliament. 7FH I DEFEATING BIG FIELD of beauties, Monique Nagler (center), blonde Normandy charmer, is named "Miss France of 1958."

Starting Jan. 1, postmasters will forward all checks if change of address is given, in accordance with postal regu lations. A notice has been received announcing a change in the plan of mailing checks to beneficiaries from central of fice of the VA in Washington "Beginning next month," the notice states, "we plan to mail your check on the 29th of the month the same date that all other VA benefit checks are distributed. You will receive it several days later than usual, depending on how long mail from Wash ington takes to reach you." Heretfore, it is explained, a staggering plan was used, mailing checks ahead of time to points at varying distances away so that all could be re ceived simultaneously on the first of the month. "This sys tem has proved very expen sive to the government," the notice states. Postmaster Art Scarseth, who handles all types of ben efit checks coming through the mails, says there was some delay in receipt of the checks coming from Washing ton, as well as other points, at this time, which may have been due to the Christmas business. Charles Cox, Camp White contact officer, said only Spanish War veterans and a few receiving compensation direct from Washington are affected by the new mailing plan. All world war veterans, he says, received their checks from the regional, offices, in cluding pension checks. George W. Hargrove, who has been assistant engineer officer here during the past year, has left for the VA hos pital, Fargo, N.D., where he will be in charge of the en gineering division. Hargrove came here from the VA hos pital at Downey, 111., near Chicago.

FREE V Silver Dollars THE ONLY TRADING . STAMP You Can Put in the Bank! Silver Dollar Trading Sfamps Naf ion's Strength Tomorrow Seen Biggest Worry, Washington (TP) Presi dential science adviser Dr. James R. Killian believes the nation's biggest worry is its technological strength tomor row not today. In his first speech since taking the post the on-leave president of Massachusetts In stitute of Technology sounded a possible keynote of Presi dent Eisenhower's State of the Union message to Congress Thursday. Killian departed from his prepared text in an address to the Women's National Press club Tuesday night to emphasize that Russia might surpass the United States "in a few years" unless this coun try steps up its scientific ef forts. Republicans in Congress in dicated the President would paint a reassuring picture of a strong America in his mess age, but also would detail spe cific goals to keep ahead of Russia. "Sputnik has shown that the U.S.S.R. is a very serious competitor in the technologi cal field," Killian said. "She has not passed us yet, but she has a strong will to do so." Killian indicated that he believed this country could not retain its scientific super iority merely by appointing a "czar" to oversee scientific development. Hopewell, N. J.
