Editor's not: U.S. house- wives, ai well business men, will be Impressed by the ettecis me European Common Market hu had in cutting pricei tor European shoppers. In only three yeara, me market nat brought about profound changes in the economic lace o! the six nationi in volved, and may exert po litical force at well. A ipe cial reporting team of UPI staff correspondents in these countries tells in the following dispatch, the first of three, what the market Is. its accomplishments to date and what may be ex pected in the future. By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst Mrs. Rene Verdicr, a Paris housewife, went shopping and i, an Eminently sue sful day. She raved $11.50. Thi reasons behind this haDDv experience remained a little vague in Mrs. Verdicr's mind. But it occurred in large Paris department store in. which gaily decorated niinrdi proclaimed "La France et le March Commun' (France and the Common Mar ket), Her savings came on an $8 Italian twin sweater-set ior her two daughters, a $2.50 Hrin.rirv blouse for herself Holland and a $4 brief .i. from Germany for her husband. In 1958, the sweater set would have cost $14, the blouse $5 and the briefcase $7. The key to this lesson in thrift came in the placard, "France and the Common Market." Roger Coullard, a 55-year-old pharmacist, had a similar experience. Coullard, shopping for a automobile, bought a German compact car. "It's simple," he said. "The quality is about the same. I've always wanted to try one, and it was a good bar gain." He figured he had saved about $50 over the price of a comparable French car.

(Knacksledt photo) Pakistan Campaigns Against Kidnapers Of Young Children Karachi -IUPII- Pakistan has begun a drive against bands of kidnapers who maim young children, make beggars out of them, and force them to turn over the money they collect. The government also hopes to eliminate another activity of the child stcalcrs-kidnap-ing girls and selling them as prostitutes or as slaves in the Middle East. A voluntary organization which traces lost children is cooperating with government agencies in the drive. An offi cial of the agency, which is called Idara - E Khidmat E Khalq, said 16 boys and girls ranging in age from 6 to 14 years were lost in Lahore in one recent week alone. Many of them were found, but others were feared taken by the kidnapers. The bands "carry the children away and then cither maim them for V.,ini,ii-it, nnrnncDa nr anil tlinm powerful new dramatic abroad as younB savcs," force The countries are West Germany, France, Italy, The Npthprlands. Belgium and T.uxembourff. The market is a potential weapon in the cold war mat affects the pocketbooks of millions. Outwardly, the badges of the European Economic Com munity - official name of the Common Market - are seen in the shape of "EUR" plates on automobiles, marking their owners as officials of the bloc, and on the plaques designat ing EEC buildings in Brus sels, Luxembourg and Stras bourg. It is seen in the filled or der books of European indus trialists and in Western Eu rope's unprecedented pros perity. Back in 1045 when virion nry men were seeking a way to end the wars which had devastated Europe for cen turies, Sir Winston Church ill spoke of a "United States of Europe." President Charles dc Gaulle sees it as a "Europe des Put Ties" (Europe of Fatherlands). Bound Together But whatever it is called, I the six nations of Western Europe have bound them selves together, already have progressed so far In economic union that there appears no chance of turning back. Eventually, their goal Is political union as well, either as a federal union similar to the United Slates or as a con federation of loosely united independent states. In these countries economic union binds together 170 mil lion people in a single market which eventually will sec the free movements of goods and labor anywhere within the six. Economic union still Is not complete. Trade barriers within the six are falling and will continue to fall to point "zero" for the next 10 to 12 years. Internal tariffs on man ufactured goods are already down 40 per cent and on agri culture some 35 per cent. Problems Remain Political union, if it comes, will be slower. Only gradually can the log ic of economics and geog raphy take over from the un reason of centuries of preju dice. "You Americans," said a French professor of history, "may wonder why it hts tak en us so long to get together. But to us Europeans, t h e wonder is that it has happen ed at all." Although the Common Market has been in existence only three years, growth fig ures arc such as to have been agency officials said. Often Deformed Part of the drive against the kidnapers is a series of do! ice raids. Police have found that the kidnaped chil dren often are deformed through the use of leg, hand and head casts made of iron. Others have their tongues cut out. Both forms of maiming are aimed at evoking more pity for the child beggars and more money for their masters. Kidnapers recently arrest ed In Rawalpindi said they preferred to seize children be tween the ages of 4 and 10 because they were the easiest to train as beggars. A ring of female kidnapers in Rawalpindi told police they tricked young girls into working in brothels by prom ising to make llicin movie stars. Accurate statistics on the kidnaping! arc hard to come by, but the fear of kidnaping is widespread among Paki stani parents. Some of the kidnapers strike on the streets in day light. In Lahore recently, a quick-thinking passerby sav ed 11-ycar-old Mosaddiq Mah mood from seizure. Realizing what was happening when he saw the boy struggling wun a man, the passerby had a lug of war for Mossaddiq's freedom, shouting for help at the same time. A large crowd gathered as the boy was pull ed free, but the would-be ab ductor escaped. Not all cases turn out as happily. The vast numbers of maimed children who station themselves in front of the best stores, restaurants, and theaters in Pakistan's cities arc evidence of the kidnapers' success. Some of the children recov ered by the police said they were beaten unconscious while trying to escape. Welfare agencies and the government agree that elimi nating begging is the way to stamp out kidnaping. Sahib Ali Shahn, one of the leading private crusaders against the child stealers, be lieves more government help, a law against begging by chil dren, and more women police could stamp out kidnaping. Methods Studied Lt. Gen. W. A. Burki, health and social welfare min ister in Ayub's government, is studying methods to eliminate begging. The main problem, he said, is rehabilitation of beggars through an adequate number of welfare homes. Akbar Kabir, director of so cial welfare of the ministry, said a national plan to elimi nate begging will be started this year in Pakistan's major cities. Priority is being given to destitute women in order to save them from prostitu tion, he said.

On Sunday, the five county area of Greater Portland goes officially on daylight time. But many other communities have decided to switch to fast time unofficially. The result as of last sum mer will be a crazy quilt of time zones. A lDlil Oregon law permits Multnomah county and the four contiguous counties to go on daylight time. But last summer in a number of towns, the schools went fast maincd standard or busi nesses remained on standard while the city went for fast time. Theaters Want Standard Main opposition to daylight time in Oregon has come from theater groups. A finan cial report of the Standard Time Committee whose ad vertising defeated daylight time the last time it was on the ballot shows that theaters contributed all but a small amount of the sum spend. The Grange is on the side of the theaters. Because of such opposition, the 1961 Legislature failed to pass a memorial to Congress advocating uniform time. But the same assembly did pass the law permitting the five counties to go on daylight by choice. The legislature also referred the matter to the November electorate when voters will decide the time situation in 1963. Gov. Mark Hatfield urged city and county officials to use their influence and main tain standard time outside the five county area. But several communities al ready have served notice they prefer daylight time. Others say they will stick to stand ard time. Salem and Medford are two areas that plan to stick to standard time. State offices in Salem will be on standard time while those in Portland will be on fast time. Eugene. Albany and Corvallis prefer daylight time. Newport did a switch, first deciding on standard time, then coming back to fast time j after nearby Oceanlake, Taft ; and Delake decided on fast I COMPLETES TRAINING Pvt. William E.
