Alexandra Council
Proposes Law Banninq
SeIf-Service Stations

The Alexandria City Council,
which started out a month ago to
regulate self-service gasoline sta
tions. last night wound up with a
proposed law to prohibit such sta
tions altogether and to put new
restrictions on conventional sta
tions.
The ordinance was ordered to be
advertised for second reading and
public hearing at the next meet
ing.
7 The Council acted after op-
orators of conventional stations
complained self-service operations
would be unsafe. The proposed
ordinance would prohibit any gas
oline station from advertising
prices except with small signs on
tanks, and requires stations to
show what brand of gasoline, if
any, they sell.
Mayor Franklin P. Backus voted
against the law because, he said,
it was introduced for purely eco
nomic" reasons. He said the city's
Fire Prevention Bureau would not
say self-service stations are haz-
ardous. r. Samuel Luckett also
voted no.
Robert c. Lowe, attorney for the
only self-service station already
in the city, said the Council had
been prompted to take up the
problem when his client requested

West Europe Leader!
To Confer on Costs
|0f Mutual Defense
BY the Associated Press

BRUSSELS, Belgium, April Is.
Western European leaders will
meet here tomorrow and Monday
to make their defense plans fl.
their pocketbooks.
The conferees will be the for
eign, finance and defense min
isters. or their deputies. of the
five Brussels treaty powers-Brit-
ain, France, Belgium, the Meth
erlands and Luxembourg.
The prime problem before the
conference, informed sources said,
is to bridge the gap between the
defense ministers. who need funds
to pay for a co-ordinated defense
program, and the finance minis
ters, which want to save as much
as possible.
Foreign Ministers Umpires.
The foreign ministers, who col
lectively are the Brussels pact
consultative council, will act as
umpires in working out solution.
Their deliberations took on
added significance with the speech
yesterday in Chicago by the
United States Chief of Staff, Gen
Omar Bradley. who said the At
lantic pact plan will be difficult to
finance. Gen. Bradley is chair
man of the pact's standing group,
or main administrative body.
The recent Atlantic pact defense
ministers meeting in The Hague
adopted an overall defense plan
for the IL member nations. The
five Brussels pact nations form
one of the regional groupings un-
der the pact.
Belgian and Luxem bourg
sources report their governments
expect other pact members
notably Britain-to press for a
proportional system of financing
the five-nation areas joint de-
fenses.
Common Purpose Cited.
proponents or the proportional
system maintain that, since the
expenses are being undertaken for
a common purpose, they should be
split according to each nations
resources and ability to pay.
AS of now, each partner bears
it's own defense expenses.
Figures have been prepared to
show that while Britain spends
f1,0O0 ($2,80O to maintain one
soldier for year, Belgium spends
only about 5000 or f700 for the
same purpose.
Belgian officials reply that most
of this difference is the result Of
different methods of preparing
the national budgets. The only
thing which counts. these circles
say, is the number Of well-trained
and fully y-equipped men and other
defense factors which a nation
can put into the line.
