recovering about half of this $685.
100000 through subsequent sales
OF the powdered egg stock.
Taking this prospective loss into
account, Senator Anderson. Demo-
crat, of New Mexico, a former
Secretary of Agriculture, said the
figures indicated the net loss on
the egg support program for this
year would exceed $45,000, 900.
This compared, he noted, with
$37.612,000 for the 1948 fiscal year
and s6.781, 900 for the 1947 fiscal
year.
Mr.. Trigg said "the most serious
problem" in the egg support pro-
gram is finding outlets for the
surplus supplies which the de-
partment buys. He said "vigor-
Gus" efforts have been made to
use every possible disposal chan
mel.
While opposing a change in the

the defendant had failed to recog-

DR.. Szoenyi's explanation was:
Dulles is wearing spectacles in

DR.. Szoenyi also seemed to have
trouble recognizing an American
named Noel H. Field who, he said,
had brought him into contact
with Mr.. Dulles and the Oss in
Switzerland in 1914. The Judge
ruled DR.. Szoenyi had identified
Mr.. Field after some hesitation.
The defendant said that in their
secret dealings with each other
Mr.. Dulles used the alias "Wag-
ner." DR.. Szoenyi was known as

"Secret Connections"
He also repeated what earlier
defendants had said about plot
ting to assassinate top Hungarian
officials.
DR.. Szoenyi also told the court
that Mr.. Dulles had maintained

that they had agreed on common

Red Cross Delegates
See New Plastic Bags
For Collecting Blood

New equipment under study to
improve blood and plasma collec-
ton is being exhibited this week
to delegates at an American Red
Cross blood program conference
at the Hotel Statler.
Several hundred officials of the
program from throughout the
country today divided into panels
to discuss organizational prob
lens as the four-day meeting
moved into its second session.
Among the new euqipment is a
a plastic bag which may supplant
the traditional pint-sized bottles
used to collect and preserve blood.
A chief benefit of the pliable bags
is that they are compact and safe
for transportation.
Tests also showed that blood
from the bags can be forced into
Ia patients body by his own weight.
This. officials explained, might
be especially valuable under battle
field or other emergency condi-
tions to replace the gravity flow
methods now used.
The bags, still under study, were
developed by DR.. Carl w. Walter
OF Boston's Peter Brigham Hos
lpital and Frank c. Comploier, Red
Cross technician here.
Also displayed was a collapsible
aluminium bed which can be as
sembled in a matter of seconds.
Officials feel it will be especially
valuable for mobile blood units.
New types of needles and lancets
to be used In transfusions and

Soviet Bloc Affected
Only Little at First
By Pound Value Cut
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 1s.-The
cheaper British pound sterling
may cause only a trifling furry
back of the Iron Curtain at first.
Russia mostly conducts her world
trade on barter basis. She set
ties balances with her large gold
production.
The official relation between the
Soviet ruble and the British pound
has not yet been changed.
Britain and Russia have a trade
pact under which Soviet grain
and other raw materials move
west and British machcinery and
manufactured goods flow east. This
exchange will be affected only as
world prices for these items seek
a new level.
Russia was a prominent buyer
last year in the Australian wool
markets and Mayalan rubber
marts. The upward price squirt
OF rubber and the uncertainty in
wool prices could affect future
Soviet deals, but so far this year
she has not been very active in
either markets.
The trade relations of Russia
and the United States would moi
be greatly affected, since there has
been no change in the ratio oi
the dollar to the ruble.
Russia's part in world trade
had been relatively modest. Latest
figures show she accounts for only
about 7 per cent of the total OF
the interchange of goods among
nations.
Her satellites also operate
through barter pacts with the
western world, but on the whole
have more active trade relations
with the west than does Russia.
They get machinery and wool
from the British, sell them food
and raw materials.
