Commonwealth Faces
Asiatic Aid Deadlock
BY the Associated Press

SYDNEY, Australia, May 10
The British Commonwealth Con-
ference here was reported today
partially stalemated on the ques-
ton of aid to Asia.
Pakistan and, to a lesser degree,
Ceylon. were said to be the only
countries sympathetic to an
Australian proposal for immediate
aid by Commonwealth countries
to Asian areas threatened by
Communism.
Australia was reported as re-
garding Indonesia and Indo- China
as chief danger spots. Minister
of External Affairs Percy C.
Spender was quoted by informed
sources as saying only immediate
aid would help meet the Red
threat.
Britain and most other powers
represented at the conference were
said to be urging a go slow atti-
tude toward immediate help to
Asia.
Australia's proposal for immedi-
ate aid was reported to have drawn
solid support from the leader of
Pakistan's delegation, Chaudhry
Nazir Ahmad Khan. Minister of
Industry.

Chest help and some money is
paid.
Setting up a $452,000 hospitali-
cation fund at the beginning of
the year. the Chest federation has
allotted monthly amounts to HSA.
The certifying agency. in turn,
adds to those funds money it COL
lects from patients who arrange
to repay part or all of their ex-
penses.
At the beginning of business
today, officials reported, HSA had
committed it's entire May al
lottment of funds through pa
tents already certified for care
or admitted to hospitals pending
certification.
Announcing the May allot-
ment of $4,000 to HSA, the fed
Grafton urged HSA Chief Willard
c. Smith to keep certificate
down within the total money
available for each month"
$176,0O5 in 3 Months.
During the first three months
of this year. however. the fedora
ton exceeded its own ALLEGATIONS

To this, HSA added $36,310 in

tents and paid hospitals the total
of $176,005.
Despite the $176,005 paid, Mr..
Smith said, HSA certified patients
for. care at cost of about $751;
879. The difference in the two
figures. he explained, results from
patients being in hospitals at the
end of the month. Their bills are
figured in the following months

All April claims have not yet
been received, but officials esti-
mated they will total about
$751; 900. To meet this, he said,
HSA will have an estimated
$4,000. leaving about $4,000 to
be paid by the chest.
On the basis of the first three
months Qualifications, HSA esti-
mates it will have a deficit. of
$4,000 at the end of the year.
The agency figures it will "recov-

Atlantic Pact Ministers Indonesians Battle
Study Depression Risk Troops Under Dutch
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, May 16.-The risk of
a possible depression if too much
is spent on defense lies squarely
before the foreign ministers of
the 12-nation Atlantic alliance at
their meeting here.
The fateful questions whose
answers may mean the difference
between war and peace boil down
to these:
How many guns must the West
muster to be confident of knock
ing back any Russian aggression
which they fear may come?
If they build and pay for a safe
number of guns, will the gun
making bring ON economic misery
which communism can use to cap
ture the Allies one at a time from
within?
Committees of experts meet to-
day to write resolutions attempt
ing to answer both these questions
safely and translate their answers
into plan of action.
Later today the foreign min
listers. with Secretary of State
Acheson presiding. will take up the
resolutions. Two or three sessions
stretching through Wednesday
probably will be needed to iron out
conflicting views and to decide on
course of action.
The Atlantic allies already have
two suggested plans summarizing
their dilemma.
Their generals and defense min
listers, meeting last month, laid
plans for large-scale rearmament
which diplomatic forces say in
cludes total ground force of 80
divisions backed by British and
American air power.

Weather Not Cold
Enough Claims
Farm Specialist

The cold weather we've had has
not been cold enough, explains ].
N. Roney, entomoligist for the
Agricultural Extension Service at
the University Of Arizona.
It's got to be a lot colder to kill
the insects along fence rows and
bitches. Or, of course, we can kill
them ourselves instead of waiting
for the weather.
Stink bugs winter over in the
weedy fence rows and tall grass.
Sometimes you may find fields that
are adjoining as well as some un-
cultivated areas where some tail
water has gotten away.
Stink bugs and many other suck
ing insects spend the winter as an
adult in these unSuSpecting places.
BY cleaning up these places now,
you can reduce the insect popula-
ton that might infest your cotton
or alfalfa during 1850.
In plowing your fields, you can
destroy many of these weeds. Cul-
tivate some of your bitches and
you will again destroy some of
these weeds. There are many places
where weeds and grasses will not
be disturbed, so, burn or destroy
these areas at once.
Even though the weather has
been cold, it has not been could
enough to kill the insects. The only
way to do it, then, is to clean up
these areas. BY killing the adult
insects you destroy many more than
their number because they are able
to lay eggs.
To reduce insect infestation for
1850, destroy the weeds and the
insects. Burn, plow, or cultivate
their places to over winter.
