U.S.. Butter Surplus Blocks Plans
For Low-Cost Danish Imports

said Gunnar Seidenfaden, eco
nomic counselor to the Danish
Embassy.
1--WE do think it is little odd
and perhaps unfair, however, that
Mr.. Hoffman (ECA Administrator
Paul G. Hoffman, tells us we must
increase our exports to America
and when we try, we run into this
stoppage.
| Meantime, American producers
are sending lubricating oil into
Denmark without duty as re-
suit of the trade agreements which
we have signed"
The Danes are understood to be
interested primarily in sharing in
the summer quota"-10,000, 900
pounds of butter which, under the
trade agreement terms, may enter
this country in five summer
months. The other 50,00o,O00
pounds, in which New Zealand has
prime interest, are to be i'm
ported in the winter season OF
low domestic production.
Two Republican. Senators COM
mented that the Marshall Plan
policy could wreck this country's S
program for supporting the price
Of butter. Both the Senator'S
Young of North Dakota and Nc
Carthy Of Wisconsin-praised the
Agriculture Departments action.
Senator Mccarthy told re-
porter the ECA had no business
urging Denmark to take any step
which would have the effect OF
putting more butter on the Amer

"A Federal Employees
Selected for Course

Fourteen promising young Fed
eral Government employees have
been selected for six months spe-
cial training at American Univer-
sity to develop their potentialities
for administrative positions.
The program is known as the
Administrative Intern Program
and is sponsored by the Civil Ser
vice Commission, the Federal Per-
sonnel Council, American Univer-
sity and the Federal agencies.
More than 900 persons we're tested

ing, but Thomas does not have to
follow it. In 1925 John w. Lang
ley. a Kentucky Republican, gave
up his House seat after he had
been convicted of a liquor law vio-
lation in his home State.
The House has the power to
oust any of its members. It is
the sole judge of their qualif1ca-
tions-not the courts. But not
since Civil War days has House
member been expelled.
In 1919, Victor L. Berger, a So
cialist from Wisconsin, was elected
to the House but was refused a
seat. He was under indictment
for a Federal offense and was
convicted and sentenced to prison.
The Supreme Court reversed
the conviction in 1921 and Ber-
ger was again elected to the House.
This time he was allowed to take
the oath and serve several terms.
Difference In Cases.
The main difference between
the Berger and Langley cases and
the Thomas case Is that the Of
fenses by Berger and Langley
occurred prior to election. The
charges against Thomas involve
his actions while a member of
the House.
James M. Curley, Massachu-
sets Democrat, was convicted on
mail fraud charges while a men,
ber of the House, but his case was
not finally settled in higher courts
until after his term expired.
Andrew j. May, Democrat. of
Kentucky, was indicted on war
time bribery charges while a
member of the House, but was
not convicted until after he was
defeated for reelection.

NEWARK, N. j., Dec. New

New Jerseys largest reservoir
Wanaque in Butler-has only so

many cities, including Bayonne

And there is little hope for i'm

unusual amount of rain in the near
future would leave the States
water reserves far below normal.
In Roosevelt, about 80 miles
southwest of. New York City. the
two artesian wells serving the
town have gone dry.
Emergency water Is being
trucked in from Hightstown, 10
miles away. Large cans, discon-

the streets by householders yes

noon under the strike order. A
CGL spokesman, however, said
the stoppage was complete.
Transport workers streamed
back to their jobs in Rome in the
early afternoon. Two afternoon
newspapers defied the strike by
issuing regular editions. The
right-wing Giornale della Sera
headlined the strike as fiat fall
ure. 1t said CGH members had
suffered grave damage as fatal
consequence of the political abuse
of strikes"
Thousands Ignore Order.
Thousands ignored the order by
the CGn and went to work in
makeshift transportation. Many
stores were open in Rome.
Factories in Bologna. in Italy's
strongly Communist industrial
north, were closed, however, as
were printing plants and the city's
transportation system. There was
no makeshift transportation In
that city. But Bologna's shops
and offices were open and news
papers were being sold.
In Milan, another northern in
dustrial city which has often been
considered a Communist strong
hold, stores and the commercial
life of the city were nearly normal.
Transportation and all but essen
tial public services were generally
idle, according to CGH's direc-
tiveS.
First reports from Palermo,
capital of Sicily. said the strike
was only partly effective there.
Transport was reported almost
normal.
100000 Ordered to Quit.
The CGIL had ordered its $780,
900 members to stop work in all
activities except the most vital
public services.
The strike was crucial test OF
power for the big union. Oppos-
ing it were the anti Communist
labor unions who were told by
their leaders to defy the strike
order.
Many newsstands in the city,
defying the strike, opened this
morning to sell morning papers.
Some of the papers denounced
the strike. The big Conservative
II Tempo said this strike would
only serve to speed government
drafting Of a law banning poltt-
ical strikes altogether.

Proposals of Denmark and at
least a half dozen other nations
to ship butter to this country. at
prices below the Government sup
port level, have been blocked be-
cause of a 100000 ,000-pound
surplus.
The stoppage was disclosed by
officials of the Agriculture De-
partment, which put it into effect
on authority of Congress. 1t
brought to the fore two major
conflicts in Federal policy:
/. At least three Marshall Plan
countries-Sweden, Norway and
Denmark-which have been urged
by this Government to boost their
dollar learning exports, have been
denied this means of doing so.
2. The action conflicts with, and
in effect suspends, trade pacts
under which this country agreed
to accept 60,00O,000 pounds OF
butter a year, or 8 per cent OF
United States consumption. at the
low tariff Of 7 cents a pound.
Diplomatic sources said the
countries are continuing to give
American exporters the benefit OF
the tariff cuts. These include
Denmark and New Zealand.
Butter is one of the IS fats
and oils whose entry the Agri-
culture Department may restrict.
The curb may be imposed when
ever it is essential to the orderly
liquidation of temporary surpluses
of stocks owned by the Govern
ment."
Agriculture's Commodity Credit
Corp. now has 100,0e0,o0o pounds
of butter in storage. It buys the
surplus, as required by law to
support the price, at 81 cents a
pound. Gees recent sales have
been few; one was made yester-
day at So cents.
The Danes last week explored
the possibility of landing butter
here for sale at "a little below"
the support price, Danish officials
said. New Zealand and Argentina
repeatedly could sell at consider
ably below that level.
All the countries mentioned
have either sounded out Agricul-
ture Department or have actually
applied for import licenses and
been denied. Even Russia has ap-
piled, Agriculture officials said.
But if the low-priced butter
were admitted. these officials said,
private buyers promptly would
take it. That much more Amer
ican-made butter would become
surplus, and CCC would be OBJ
liged to buy it to maintain the
United States price.

stored surplus by more than so
per cent, agriculture spokesmen
argue they are clearly obliged to
bar the foreign product.
Denmark, a dairy country, has
little to offer for transatlantic
export except butter. Along with
other Marshall Plan countries, it
has been urged by the Economic
Cooperation Administration to
build up its exports to the United
States. Only in this way, ECA has
argued, can Europe become inde-
pendent of help from the Amer
lean taxpayer.
Denmark therefore took its but
ter problem back to ECA. Joint
discussions were held last week, all
parties report, but agriculture Of
flcials gave no sign Of altering
their position and Denmark did
not formally seek approval Of an
import license.
Its a delicate situation, and
we are not pressing very hard"

dry put in jar and add a variety
OF fragrances-spices, perfumes
clover sacfet powder or any
sachet powder or any sachet you
care for. When jar is full cover
with wax paper and set away for
fra2rances to blend. Variety
makes the hobby more interesting

preserve the mixture.
Do not use wet petals as they
may mildew and sour. Put in a
Jar in different rooms. uncover
once in a while and let out the
fragrance. In pretty little glass
jars it makes nice gifts for sick
