PAGE TEN Farm, Industrial Activity Effect Midwest Economy IIEKALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON WEDNESDAY. APRIL 7, 1954 By BAM DAWSON ' KANSAS CITY tfi-In this area where the economy is neatly bal anced between agriculture and in dustry the big questions today are: How good will tho spring rains be? And will the nation's industrial activity (to which Kansas City is f tied more closely now by its post ' war Industrialization boom) level off soon and start back up again, maybe after Labor Say, to set jjew records? Both sides of the economy are off a little around here now, Farmers aren't buying as much from tha Italians Jeer EDC Treaty ROME Ufl Amidst jeers from the Communist benches, Premier Mario Scelba introduced in the , Chamber of Deputies Tuesday a bill for Italian ratification of the European Defense Community treaty. The treaty, which would form a Mx-nation army including West German troops, has been ratified by West Germany aud The Nether lands and, in Belgium, lacks only the signature of King Baudouin, . Italy, France and Luxembourg, the other prospective partners, nave yet to act. The Christian Democratic lead er of. a coalition government, Scelba did not ask that the EDC bill be given urgent consideration. He has a majority in parliament, however, and eventual passage is considered likely. Arch foe of Italy's Communists, ho said: "I have the honor of presenting a project (of law) for ratification of the European Defense Commu- nity." There were shouts from the Communists and fellow traveling Socialists. "And you call that an honor," someone Jeered. Scelba remained unruffled. He handed the heavy sheaf of papers to the chamber's presiding vice president, Fernando Taruelti When the hooting and jeering halted, Targettl announced that the bill would be printed and dis tributed to the members of the chamber'! foreign affairs commit tee. , stores. Layoffs are spotted here and there among the factories, With a cutback in defense spend ing getting much of the blame. More people are out of work than last year and new Jobs are harder to come by. Building is off a little. But folk here show no signs of alarm. Some feel las many slock market traders seem to) that the country Is having a short business lull and see signs that nutation may start un again afterwards. "The present generation around here has been, through so many crises," says James M. Kemper, chairman of the Commerce Trust Co., "that ft tends to take them in stride. People don't panic easily any more. 'younger folk particularly go on spending, because the advent of old age and other social security benefits has changed buying atti tudes. Young couples feel more like spending in the present and letting Uncle Sam take care of their old age: Their grandparents weren't like that and u business dip could start a scare." So the banker feels that spend. ing won't be down too much, al though the loss of overtime pay and shorter work weeks may leaa many to be more cautious. Kemper sees Kansas City as un hurt yet down a little from the peak, as everyone expected It would be some day but the econ omy still is healthy. He hopes for a more noticeable pickup alter La bor Day. A leading builder, Carl B. Rech- ner, says construction continues at a fair clip, although there is some employment in the building trades, mostly among the unskilled. While the housing shortage Is a thing of the past, and there has been softening in the price of older homes, demand for new ones con tinues good, he says. Houses sell' tag under $12,000 and over $18,000 are moving oest. Merchants here fret because re tail sales so far have been off about 7 per cent from last year. But now they count heavily on the belated Easter trade, warmer weather, and excise tax cuts. 'No Comment', Says Prince Aly Khan SAN DIEGO, Calif.

British Gave NodToA-Bomb LONDON Iff A British Foreign Office spokesman disclosed Tues day Britain gave her consent to the American atom bombing of Japan in 194S.

Congress Split Over Wire Tap . . . .,miih1 In the federal I missiol WASHINGTON Ml The House split sharply today over an admin istration bill to give the al'orney general authority to tap wires in espionage cases and to legalize In formation so obtained as evidence in federal courts. As the House called up the con troversial measure for action, most Democrats lined up behind a sub stitute proposal to require the at torney general to get a court ord er before authorizing any tapping wires. They had at least some Re publican support. The court order requirement, omitted from the administration measure,' was the major issue. Both aides forecast passage of some form of wiretapping bill be fore nightfall.' The primary purpose of the bill is to legalize the use of wiretapped information In the federal courts as evidence in prosecuting espion age, treason and sabotage cases, or any conspiracy Involving the national security. Such evidence is not now admissible In the federal courts. Rep. Willis (D-La), author of the court order substitute, told news men there was "no difference of opinion over the necessity for wire tap legislation," and he added: "So it becomes a question or approach', and not principle. The court order approach follows close ly our constitutional provision for the procedure in entering a man's home it's like the court order re quired for a search warrant. So I think we had better follow the guidepost of our Founding Fathers set forth in the search and seizure provisions of the Fourth Amendment." Appealing for 'House passage, Republican Leader Halleck of In diana accused opponents of at-tempting-to "confuse and distort" the purposes of the measure re named the "anti-traitor" bill by the House GOP leadership.
