In other words, we will be

Senators Propose
A Thorough Probe
if Airfline Strikes
Washington -CPD- Key sena
tors in both parties joined
yesterday in proposing a thor
ough Senate investigation of
the overall problem of airline
strikes and their impact . on
the public interest.
Chairman A. S. (Mike) Mon
roney (D.-Okla.) of the Sen
ate Aviation subcommittee,
said he would be willing to
hold hearings in the new Con
gress. But he emphasized that
the subcommittee, had no in
tention of performing any
strike-breaking role.
Sen. George A. Smathers
(D.-Fla.) a subcommittee mem
ber, first proposed the inquiry
as strikes against American
and Eastern airlines kept the
two big air carriers grounded

70, a devaluation of 17.55 per
cent. Such devaluation, of
course, makes it easier for us
to buy goods from France than
to sell goods to France.
France made the franc con
vertible to dollars at the new
rate.
Similar Agreement
The other nations made a
similar agreement without de
valuing their currency. Brit
ain restricted its dollar con
vertibility to foreigners and
not its nationals who might
want to leave the country.
France made its move as the
time approached for operation
through the holiday season.
Sen. Andrew F. Schoeppel
of Kansas, ranking Republi
can member of the subcom
mittee, heartily endorsed
Smather's proposal. "I agree
with him 100 per cent," he
told United Press Interna
tional. Public Utility
Schoeppel said the airlines
actually had become a public
utility. "To have these con
tinued strikes is becoming a
serious problem and is not in
the public interest," he added.
The Kansan who will be
the top GOP member of the
Senate Commerce committee
in the new Congress, said the
group should "take a good
grank look" at the problem
with a view toward legisla
tive recommendations.
The Commerce committee,
headed by Sen. Warren G.
Magnuson (D.-Wash.) has juris
diction over all aviation mat
ters. It is the parent body of
Monroney's subcommittee.
A Proper Area
, Sen. Alan Bible (D.-Nev.)
another subcommittee mem
ber, said he would "certainly
go along" with the hearings.
"It appears to be a proper
area for the subcommittee to
take a good hard look." Bible
told a reporter.
Monroney said he had no
objection to holding hearings
on the general problem of air
line strikes. But he pointed
out that any change in laws
affecting airline labor would
have to be. handled by the
House and Senate Labor com
mittees. The Oklahoma Democrat
said he hoped "we might find
some better way to aid media
tion" in airline strikes, per
haps by 'strengthening the
conciliation and mediation
services.
Chinese Art Scholar
Killed in Attic Fire
San Francisco -UPD- Robert
Bradford, 31, who earned a
doctor's degree in Chinese art
at Seattle university this year,
burned to death Thursday
night in an attic fire here.
Bradford was identified by
a friend, Phillip Romigh, an
architect. The victim had been
offered a teaching position at
San Francisco State college
after Jan. 1, the coroner's of
fice said.

Price Index moved up an

hemlock dimension for water
shipment.
Effect
Europe
of the common market, which
is to be a broad trading and
production area for France,
Belgium, The Netherlands,
Luxembourg, Germany and
Italy. That organization be
gins functioning on Jan. 1.
Under the common market
plan, all tariffs among the six
nations will be abolished, im
port duties will be establish
ed, prices will be adjusted, la
bor will be able to move back
and forth within the various
nations, wages will be equal
ized and currencies will be
made convertible.
Balance To Be Paid
When one nation trades
with another, there is always
a balance to be paid off. For
example, if we buy $1,000
worth of goods from France
and sell her $900 worth, there
is a balance of $100 in
France's favor. We owe her
$100 worth of francs. France
would gladly take the dollars
or gold from us to make up
the difference. If it were the
other way around and France
owed us $100, she now agrees
to pay in dollars.
Where will France get the
dollars? That eventually could
be a problem. But with the
franc devalued, the chances
are we will buy more from
France than we sell her, and
thus she will be able to build
up dollar or gold balance.

U.S. Welcomes
Western Europe's
Currency Policies
Washington -fUPD- The Unit
ed States yesterday hailed
West Europe's new monetary
policies as a "welcome and
substantial forward move" in
improving International trade
relations.
The State Department said
in a special statement that the
moves toward creating hard
currencies are proof "of the
strengthened economic posi
tion of Western Europe."
"They also reflect the confi
dence of the European coun
tries in the international fi
nancial and trade. institutions
that have been developed in
the free world since the war,'
the statement said.
External Convertibility
Britain, West Germany, the
Scandinavian countries and
the Netherlands :announced
external convertibility of
their currencies while France
devalued the franc and also
joined in the currency conver
tibility.
U.S. officials said privately
the new measures have politi
cal as well as economic signi
ficance. They said the fact
that free European countries
could take such steps was a
sign of their confidence in the
political future of Europe at
a time when Russia is utter
ing threats almost daily
against West Berlin.
The State Department said
the changes should "facilitate
and give new impetus to the
process of removing restric
tions on international trade,
including dollar goods."
'Position of Strength'
Per Jacobsson,- managing
director of the International
Monetary fund, said the mov
es toward external converti
bility were "made from a po
sition of strength and not of
weakness" in Europe.
"This may be regarded as
an outward and visibile sign
of the comeback of Europe in
world affairs," he added.
"This is a big move in the es
tablishment of an effectively
functioning intern ational
monetary system."

Victims of Fires Find Response Quick, Generous

Sympathetic response was
quick and generous yesterday
for victims of holiday fires
which have killed more than
four score persons across the

Within hours after an Au

Auburn radio station KASY

Chest went on the air with
a 2Vz hour Hollenbach fund
marathon.
Contributions poured in
from throughout the area. In
cluding an initial $500 grant
from the Community Chest,
the still growing fund totaled
$2,100 when the station went
off the air.
Only three members of the
Hollenbach family survived
