Russia Ends
Trade Talks
With France
(By The Associated PresD

MOSCOW, Dec. 9.-The Rus
sian government today abruptly
broke off trade relations with
France and also put an end to a
two-year economic treaty with
that country.
The French charge d'affaires
and his delegation were given
their travelling papers," and the
Russian delegation in Paris,
which had been engaged in trade
talks, was ordered home.
Russia frankly gave as the
reason for its action two recent
occurrences in France. which,
the Russians claimed, was. di-
rect. slap at Russia. The Russian
statement =. explained that, on
November g., three children of a
Russian, mother and French
father were removed from the
Russian quarters in France, and
on November rs, 10 Russians
were deported by the French
government on charges of having
melted strikes, which, the state
ment concluded, were false.

The rugged mountain country
| in the West and Southeast, with
thin population or sub-average

A detailed count showed 8f..-
900 civil planes registered at the

duced. Perhaps 1000 to 5000 of
those are in commercial or bus

The Civil Aeronautics Admin
lsttatlon reported in survey in
October that private planes av-
eraged only 1873 hours flying
time last year and that only II
percent of that flying was for
personal use.
The great restraining factor is
cost. Two-place private planes
sell for more than $4,000 to
around $4,000, and the annual
operating cost is around $1,000
and up.
Lack of utility because of linn
tied airport and navigational ia
cilities and the complexities of
regulation also contribute heaV-
lily to the relatively small use of
personal planes.

tBy The Associated PressD

JERUSALEM, Dec. 8. - The
death toll in Palestine since
rioting began 10 days ago, as
result of the decision of the
United Nations to partition Pal
estine, reached los today, with
the wounded estimated at more
than 500.
Last night four more Jews
were killed during skirmishes in
No Mans Land between Jaffa
and Tel-Aviv.
A taxicab, occupied by Arabs.
and a similar vehicle, occupied
by Jews, were targets of at
tacks, as one chased the other
over the roadways between Jaffa
and Tel-Aviv. Results of this
clash was not revealed.
Uondon reported today that
the British government may
discontinue further shipments
of guns and ammunition to all
Arabic nations because of the
declaration of Arab leaders that
they will declare a holy war on
the Jews in Palestine. While
news was being received here
about the recruiting of an army
of Arabs, a spokesman for the
government said that it was i'm
possible for the Arabs to win be-
cause the petitioning of Palestine
was done by the United Nations,
which is empowered to suppress
the instruction. When that
statement became known in
Cairo, Egypt, Arab leaders as
serted that, regardless of the
outcome, a guerrilla warfare
will be waged against Jews in
Palestine).

There was a lot Of ominous head
shaking when the National Fedora

existence as union on September
II, 1917.
Although there were a few minor
postal and Federal workers groups
IN the field at the time, the idea of
Government unionism on a large
scale was practically unheard of,
and there were dire predictions by
Skeptics that the new organizations
couldn't last"
That the NFFE fooled its detrac-
tors Is evidenced by the fact that
the union today is celebrating its
3Oth anniversary, with its member
ship at an all-time high. More than
100000 Government employees COM
prise its membership, more than
any other Federal workers union.
Helped Effect Improvements.
NFFE officials feel the union has
played an important part in Federal
personnel affairs since 1917, when
there was considerable room for
improvement in the Government
service. Wages hadn't been raised in
years and were woefully inadequate:
there was no retirement system; no
vacation and sick leave program:
jobs were classified in a haphazard
way, and a modified spoils system
was still in effect.
Things have changed for the bet
ter since then, and NFFE officials
believe their union had consider

tenor of congressional comment has
been to proceed slowly.
Byrd Decries Hysteria
Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of Vir-
ginia, although he did not touch
directly on the issue of domestic
prices, cautioned against any appeal
for action based on "the hysteria
of an emotional atmosphere"
Senator Byrd said the American
people ARE entitled to a completely
frank and accurate appraisal of the
foreign situation" and that before
new billions" are appropriated the
people and their representatives in
Congress should have:
Il. A full accounting of what has
been done and the results.
.. A bill of particulars of what
the administration plans to accom-
plish in the expenditure of addi-
tionai funds to be requested under
the Marshall Plan for European re-
covery.
Senator Byrd said last night that
for nearly IA years we have legis-
lated in an atmosphere of emerg-
encies and crises, making proper
consideration of vital matters i'm
possible"
Declaring the public has the right
to know what has been done with
nearly $4,000, 100000 in foreign
aid" expended by the United States
during the last two years, Senator
Byrd added
"As the greatest world leader in
peace, our duty is almost sacred,
and for this reason we must not
weaken the American financial
structure to the point where it will
rot be the greatest bulwark against
world communism.
new legislation involving this coun-
try in the wholesale underwriting
of the fortunes of other nations for
years to come must not be demanded
of Congress, when it meets again, in
the hysteria of an emotional atmos-
phere, such as surrounded the
Greek Turkish loan request"
The Virginia Democrat classified
the $40O, 900 Greek Turkish aid
program among the past errors"
of Congress because the matter was
not submitted to the United Nations.

A Chevy Chase fireman, respond

and pronounced dead at Suhur rDan
Hospital few minutes later.
He was Charles Weitzel, 80, of

brake, he radioed for the Bethesda
