Britain has moved to CURB

amounting 29 rer cent thai ha
Just been levied. The idea Is to
make British goods COST MORE
IN BRITAIN s mat Britisner:
will buy less of themi thus leaving
more to be exported.
lr.' announcuig the increase in
the house of commons, the chan
cellor of the exchequer (the Brit.
ish term lor secretary of the
treasury) called for a sharp hold
down on local and national spend'
uig.
Screwball?
II certainly would be in our
country, where our problem it to
sell all we can at home or
abroad.
If. Britain, it's different.
The British arc manufacturers
and processors. They have few
raw materials of tnetr own.
they have to buy them abroad. In
order to get foreign currency wltn
which 'to buy foreign raw mater
ials, they have to sell their man
ufactured products abroad.
The more British products the
home folks buy, the less they have
left to sell to foreiirn countries.
That's the cold, hard fact of lite
they have to face, year in and
year out.
Among other things, the British
can't grow food enough in their
islands to feed meinseives. urn.
brings up an Interesting point.
British iarmers are subsidized.
It WORKS.
It works because no matter how
much the British farmers produce
ihev can't oroducc enough to lee
the British nation. The subsidy is
designed to STIMULATE agricul
tural production in Britain and
ihe more it stimulates larm pro
duction the better it is for the
British people.
That brings up a most Interest
ing poini here in our country.
We started guaranteeing high
prices for farm products DURING
WAR TIME, when we needed
i lor ourselves and our allies 1 more
lood than we had been producing.
The purpose of it was to induce
mil, fai'mnr in on nut on a limb
and produce more food than they
had ever tfrooucea osioic.
In war time, that whs perfectly
sound. - -
More food was needed, to win
the war.
And we HAD to win.
rh It-nnhln rnmfi when the war
ended and the fabulous war mark
et lor- foods and fibers leii on.
We then found ourselves with a
vastly expanded capacity for farm
production. '
Kor seveial years after the end
of the war while ihe world
was catching up on the lood short
ages that had developed m war
time . there was still a market
for our expanded farm production.
But as Ihe void was filled, the
markets fell off and soon wa were
producing more than was con
sumed. The n'istake wr.s In continuing
the subsidy after the need to
stimulate farm production nan
ended. This mistake (which result
ed because the politicians uifin't
have the courage to face changing
conditions) was the cause 01 our

Police Report
Fading Leads
CHICAGO i UP) Hopes for
quick capture of the wanton slay
ers of three young boys dropped
toaay when the victims' parents
collnnscd another promising clue.
Police had hoped the trail was
getting warmer when they discov
ered an abandoned car containing
throe pairs oj blue Jeans and a
f'-nncl shirt.'
The clothlug was similar to gar
ments worn by Robert Peterson,
13. John Schucssler. 13. and his
brother, Anton, 11, when they were
sadistically murdered last Oct. 16
on Chicago's Northwest Side.
But the parents sadly told police
early today that the clothing did
not belong to their sons.
Officers retained some hope In
Ihe lact that the car matched the
description of a battered, blue auto
which was seen In the area shortly
before the boys' naked, mutilated
bodies were found stacked in a
forest preserve ditch Oct. 18.
They traced the car's ownership
tl:i ouL-h license plates to John
Svrhla. 39. an ex-mental patient
who disappeared from his home
several weeks ago. A search was
launched for Svehla.
Another line of investigation con
centrated on fragments of a linen
shirt which were found 150 feet
from the place where the bodies
were dumped.
The shirt bore the laundry mark
D.unM and the Chicago Sun-Times
said its Investigation shoaed the
tarmcnt may have come from
15-vear-oId reformatory inmate.
The widespread search for more
clues continued today, with 200
ct'iinty police searching abandoned
fhncks and suspicious buildings
outside Ihe city limit. Sheriff Jo
seph Lohman. who ordered the
dragnet, said the hunt would start
at Robinson's Woods, where the
todies were found, and work west.

the Israeli force was driven off.
Egypt filed a strong protest with

As this latest clash fanned
mounting tension In the Middle

the United States has promised to

RETALIATION RAID
The Israeli Informant gave this
account of Friday's raid:
In retaliation for an Egyptian
attack Tuesday on an Israeli po
lice post at Beeroyatim, in the
demilitarized El Auja-Nizana zone,
the Israeli force which Cairo Said
was of battalion strength at
tacked just before 2 a.m.
The Egyptians, housed m three
police buildings at the camp a
remote frontier post normally ac
cessible only to camel-riding pa
trols offered -resistance. Shois
,ere exchanged for 25 minutes and
some Egyptians fled. Finally the
remaining Egyptians surrendered
and the Israeli raiders returned to
their own base at 3 a.m. Seven of
the 20 captured Egyptians were
wounded.
The Egyptian camp on the Sin
ai Peninsula was held by two pla
toons equipped with heavy auxili
ary weapons, while Israeli troops
in the operation were not sup
ported by any heavy armament,
the Israeli source went on.
The Israelis said four of their
men were wounded.
COUNTERACTION
An Israeli Foreign Ministry
spokesman said the "purpose oi
the Israeli counteraction was to
emphasize what should have been
clear to Egyp-that. their attack
on Israel would be met by counter
attack. "If they leave us alone, we will
leave them alone.
"We want nothing from Egypt,
let them keep out of Israel and
we shall keep out of Egypt."
An official Israeli statement said
one policeman was killed, three
wounded and two taken prisoner
by the Egyptians at Beerotayim.

UN Brushes Aside Red
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. W
The U.N. Assembly Political Com
mittee Friday brushed aside with
out a vote Soviet Russia's demand
for a quick disarmament debate
here.
It avoided a direct test by voting
4B-S Soviet bloc i to take up next
in its work program steps to study
atomic radiation hazards. The de
bate on this will begin Monday.
V. V. Kuznetsox, deputy Soviet
foreign minister, first Insisted on
Uie debate because he said it would
help the Big Four foreign ministers
meeting at Oeneva. Disarmament
is one of their topics. Western del
egates said such a debate here
vould hamper the Geneva talks.
The 12-n 1 1 I o n Disarmament
Commission swamped a similar
Soviet request last week.
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.. chief
U.S. delegate, was quick to oppose
Kuinetsox's move. He said It would
be better to wait a few weeks untu
II the Information was available.
It would be imprudent to take up
the question now, he said.
"Disarmament Is one of the
questions closest to President Ei
senhower's heart." Lodge said.
We sincerely want disarmament.

West Presents Alolotov
With Nine-Point Treaty
By JOnV M. HIGHTOWER
GENEVA I Russia and the
Western powers deadlocked in the
Big Four 'foreign ministers meet
ing Friday with rival and appar
ently Irreconcilable plans for Eu
ropean security.
The United States, Britain and
France got In first, presenting to
8ovlel Foreign Minister Mololov
a nine-point "treaty of assurance
on the reunification of Germany."
It would become fully effective on
ly If East and West Germany were
united and the new Oermany be
came a member of the North At
lantic Treaty Alliance (NATO).
Molotov responded with a 15
point proposal for a European se
curity treaty, delaying German
unification indefinitely. Under the
Soviet program the North Atlantio
Alliance would be destroyed. Com
munist China would become an
"observer" in Europe and all
American troops would eventual
ly have to be withdrawn from
the territories of European coun
tries. WEST REJECTS
By the time Molotov acted, the
Zl lTprors m bsed
if..!! .j.T" . J?
Western ministers had already re-
their statement. In advance of its
presentation, on Russian proposals
which had been made at the Ge
neva summit conference in July.
"France, the United Kingdom
and the United Stales of America."
they told Molotov. "are not pre
pared to enter Into a system of
European security which, as in the
Soviet proposals put forward at
Geneva (In July) does not end the
division of Germany.".
In their proposal U.8. Secretary
of State Dulles, British Foreign
Secretary MacMUlan and 'French
Foreign Minister Plnay put for
ward again a plan for unifying
Germany through free elections
under Big Four supervision. Vir
tually the same plan was presented
20 months ago at the Berlin Big
Pour conference.
The security clause of Friday's
proposed treaty says '"an attack
In Europe by any parly, which ls
also a member of NATO Ispecifi
cally meaning united Oermany),'
or vice versa, would endanger the
peace and security -which is the
object of this treaty, and' that all
Uie parlies would then take ap
propriate action to meet that com
mon danger,
The treaty proposed by the West
would have as its essential sig
natories, officials said, the United
Slates, Britain, Fiance, Russia.
Poland and Czechoslovakia and
eventually a unified Germany.
PROVISIONS
Its provisions', in brief, are:
1. "Renunciation of the use of
force." each member n a t i o n
pledging to "refrain from the use
nf fnrnn" in neftllmr International
disputes except in accord with the hack the solutions -reached. .
U.N. charier. J Many government opponents say
2. "Wllhholdlng support from ag-
eressors." Each member nation
would withhold military and eco
nomic assistance from an aggres
sor. 3. "Limitation of forces and
armaments." Communist and
Western forces would be balanced
and limited in a zone set up along
unified Germany's eastern bound
aries and reaching deep into Oer
many, Poland and Czechoslovak
ia. 4. "Inspection and c o n t r o 1."
East-West Inspection teams would
check the size and disposition of
forces permitted In the security
rone and '"warn against, any prepa
ration for surprise attack."
3. "Special warning system."
P.ussla would set up a radar
warning system In the German
sector of the zone and the Western
powers would set up a similar ra
dar system In the communist
sector. '
"Consultation." The member
nations would consult on means of
carrying out the treaty but Its
Western sponsors do not contem
plate creation of a treaty council
or other permanent machinery
such as NATO has.
8KLF-DEFKN8E ,
7. "Individual and collective self
defense." The right of such de
fense. Including membership of the
Western powers In NATO which
Russia wants to destroy would be
recognized.
ft. "Obligation to react against
aggression." This Is the action
clause, pledging the members to
take appropriate action to meet
aggression as defined in the
treaty.
8. "Entry into force by stages."

The stages are not spelled out,
but some sections of the treaty,
such as renunciation of use of
force vould come Into effect as
soon as German unification was
agreed upon by the Big Four. The
action clause would not become
effective until later, when unified
Germany had Joined NATO.
The Western document was in
troduced by MacMUlan, chairman
of Friday's aession. Molotov had
blocked a Western move to intro
duce it Thursday night so he could .
balance it with Russia's proposal
Friday. The Western plan was
made public immediately after it
was presented.
In an introductory statement the
Western ministers told Molotov
that "without German unity, any
system of European security would
be an illusion.'
Edgar Faure
Gets Third
PARIS ifl Premier Edgar
Faure today won a vote of con
fidence from the French National
Assembly clearing the way for a
quick debate on moving up national
elections to the month of Decern
ber. The vote was 271 to 254.
' The victory was the third for
Faure this month In '.he balky
Assembly. Each time he had been
put In a difficult position and had
seemed to be on the point of de
feat. Friday he was solidly opposed
by - Socialists and got practically
no help from the Caulllsts, but by
pulling the centrist parties tightly
together, the premier managed to
survive nis toughest test.
The latest vole was on the gov
ernment's general policies. The
resolution adopted merely "takes
note" of statements by Faure and
Finance Minister Pierre Pfllmlin
on financial and economic policies
which have guided the government
and the results obtained. Rejected
were Socialist and Communist mo
tions expressing no confidence in
the government. .
Th'e real issue was the question
of moving up general elections to
December,- as Faure has request
ed; The next regular election of
deputies la scheduled for next June,
but Faure insists Important deci
sions must be-taken in the' first
six months of 1P59 which -require
continuity oi we i-arrrameni 10
they cannot- support new elections
until the method of easting ballots
has been chsnged. Faure says thai
he Is willing to let the deputies de
cide on a change In the election
law but he has doubts that any
agreement can be reached on a
new system. '
The present complicated method
of (lection calls for party lists
of candidates In each department
(county), Electors cast Iheir bal
lots for lists, not for Individuals.
Parties may make alliances in the
departments and any alliance
which gels more than half the
votes Is given all of the seats. This
system was worked out in 1931 to
cut down the strength of Commu
nists and candidates ol Oen. Char
