of Louisiana now is in position to
step into craftsmanship of the
powerful Senate Agriculture Com
mittee.
Senator Ellender will be in line
for the Craftsmanship next year
assuming that Democrats retain
control of the Senate.

fly handmade United Nations flags
in every town and city in the
country as a symbol of support
for U. N. action in Korea.
Taking part are the National

3 Aussies Cut Time
From Days to Hours
In Chonqinq Enqine

TOKYO, Aug. 12.-Three Aus
tralian ground crew men cut from
days to hours the job of changing
an engine in damaged Mustang
fighter to put it back into action
in the Korean war.
The plane was damaged Mon
day when the North Koreans put
bullets through the radiator. The
pilot reached an Allied airstrip in
Korea just before the engine
failed.
A repair crew flew over from
Japan with a new engine.
In eight hours they made the
replacement which ordinarily
takes three days. The Mustang,
running smoothly, was flown back
to the squadron's base for further
operations against the enemy.

North Atlantic Powers
Reported IN Favor Of
American Command
By John N. Hiehtower
Associated Press Staff Writer

Strong sentiment is reported de-
veloping among North Atlantic
Treaty nations, with some support
here, for the creation of a supreme
military command over Western
European defense forces.
French officials, whose govern
ment has requested more Ameri-
can troops in Europe, have in
formally told American represent
atives the commander should be
an American.
Britain and other countries are
said generally to share this view.
They feel the United States has
kind of final responsibility for
the defense of the West because
of its total resources.
The major reluctance to Great
ing a single military leadership
for the Atlantic area has stemmed
from military authorities here in
the past. They have felt, &C
cording to authoritative infor-
nation, that assumption of such
leadership by the United States
might cause the Europeans to
ease up on their defense program
now being expanded to meet
the new threats of Red agrees
sion arising from the Korean
crisis.
Churchill Appeal Noted.
Public attention has been TO-
cused anew on the problem Of
top military organization by the
action of the European Consul
tative Assembly in approving
Winston Churchill's propose
Friday for a unified European
army. The assembly asserted the
European defense establishment
should be headed by a single de-
Tense minister.
American officials said they wei
coined the asSembly's action ant
the support which it obtained
from such leaders as Belgium
Paul Henri Spaak. But the!
would not commit themselves a
once on whether the Churchill
plan should be put into effect b!
the European nations.

Mundt, Ferguson Deny
Bill Curbs Speech
By the Associated Press

Senators Mundt, Republican, OF
South Dakota and Ferguson, Re-
publican, of Michigan said yester-
day their anti-Communist bill
would not curb free speech.
The two men noted in state
ment that President Truman had
said in a message to Congress last
week that There are some peo-
pie who wish us to enact laws
which would seriously damage
the right of free speech" and
which could be used against
groups engaged in unpopular po-
litical activities"
Many lawmakers regarded this
as an attack on the Mundt-Fergu-
son bill requiring the registration
of Communist party members, de-
nying them appointive Federal
jobs and banning them from get
ting passports.
But Senators Mundt and Fergu-
son said that the Presidents
charge can't be made against
their bill.
I'm absolutely no way does it
limit freedom of speech or any
other constitutional freedom, u
they declared. "a Communist who
is identified as such can preach
his doctrine as long and as loudly
as he wishes or he can command
an audience and nothing in the
bill could prevent him from doing
So"
The Senators contended tina
their bill, which is opposed by ad
ministration leaders in the Senate
would carry out most of the pro
posals made by the President TO
Tightening up the anti-subversiol
laws.

Stunt Men Now Serve
Science With Collisions
BY the Assoeiaied Prs,s

LOS ANGELES-Stunt men are
now helping science. University of
California experts wanted to get
data on auto collisions. The
trouble was that cars do not run
into each other where they can be
watched. So the experts went to
the shows of stunt men who made
cars run into each other just to
entertain the populace.
From the photographs and
other data collected in the study
it is hoped to find just what shocks
the human body takes during such
accidents.

Atlantic Pact Loan Fund
To Arm Europe Sought

PARIS, Aug. 12.-The French
government will propose next week
the establishment of an Atlantic
Pact loan fund to help pay for
arming Europe against a possible
Communist invasion, a spokesman
said today.
The spokesman said the idea is
that the fund would be subscribed
to by member nations and private
investors and repaid in curries of
the nations drawing from it.
The heart of the plan is the
expectation the United States will
pay most of the cost and the rest
will be raised from the resources
Of the Western European nations.
The plan is to be presented to
the pact deputies in London.
