 including U. 5.
By TOM WILLIAMS

LONDON, Oct. 29.-tR-Harold Wilson, President of the Board Of Trade, announced today that Bri- tain has negotiated tariff agree ments with fifteen nations, includ- ing the United States.
 Details of the new pacts, he told the Commons, will be published si- multaneously in the various coun- tries in about three weeks.
 We have been particularly con- cerned to secure reductions in the tariffs of other countries, including the United States, which would provide an immediate opportunity of increasing our dollar exports, Wilson said.
 He declared the United States had made concessions in return for reductions in British tariffs and for reduction or elimination of Im- perial preferences.
 He said Britain had agreed to the reductions "only in return for con- sessions which we consider equiva- lent in terms of. the trade thereby opened up to us"
 The new trade pacts will be in- cluded in a final act of agreement at the Geneva Trade Conference tomorrow, Wilson disclosed, adding
 We have given special attention to the need for the easier access of colonial products to the United States market"

The W ashingto ion Merry -Go- Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON--When President Truman called in Capitol Hill lead CTS to explain his decision to sum- mon a special session of Congress. one of his arguments was supplied by a Commerce Department chart. It showed trends of prices and ex- ports in recent months.
 Giving his classroom" of Sena- tors and Congressmen lecture on living costs, Truman pointed to the price line" It disappeared at the top of the chart. Meanwhile, ex- ports showed a definite decline.
 "A lot of people believe that the less we ship abroad for relief, the lower prices will be at home" the President commented as he passed the chart over to Senator Taft. However, the opposite is now true, as you can see. Our exports have actually gene down in the last Sey- eral months, yet domestic prices have increased"
 "I suggest, MT. President" inter rupted Taft. that you give us com parable figures on the increase in wages"
 The President replied that wages are tagging behind, statement that Taft promptly challenged with some figures of his own.
 Truman then went on to point out that increased prices were sole ly responsible for the increased cost of relief to Europe. The origin al estimate of funds needed to car " needy Europeans through March 31, 194s, was s5S0,0Oo, ,000. the Pres ident explained. Now it is $642,0 ,000,- GOO and, he added grimly, it may go higher unless Congress does some- thing about prices.
 we've got to remember that the higher prices go, the greater our

Chester, Jr.. of the U. s. Coast Guard.
 Yesterday, planes in this area were limited to maximum ceiling of 5000 feet, but today. ceilings have ranged from 4,000 to 10000 feet over most of the area, except from Petersburg south where ceil- ings have been reported to be ap- proximately 2.500 feet.

He said. however. that many other areas yet re- main to be covered and that ev- erything possible is being done. The searching planes are main- taining constant radio contact with headquarters.
 The five Air Force planes con- sist of three B-17 Flying Fort resses with lifeboatS attached, and two CAT transports which will be used to drop supplies and Para troopers if necessary. These planes were sent here from Elmendorf Field by the 10th Air Sea Rescue Squadron.
 The Army has sent detach- ment of Paratroopers, Mountain Troops and Medical Officer to the area. They are based as Gus taylls and will be flown to the crash scene as soon as it is located. They are stocked with all of the necessary rescue and medical equip ment which will be needed
