Ride Niagara Falls
By the Assoeioied Press

TORONTO, Aug. 8.-The Prov

one to go over Niagara Falls in
a barrel.
In the wake of the death of Will
liam Hill, jr., last Sunday while
making such an attempt, On
tario's Premier Leslie Frost told
police to prevent any further tries.
"In my opinion such attempts
are wholly undesirable from the
standpoint Of public interest. They
add nothing to human knowledge
and will be prevented insofar as
it is within the power of the Prov
ince to do So" he said yesterday
Despite the Premier's order
there was no indication whether
Leslie Sander, New York interior
decorator. had abandoned his plan
to ride the 165-foot falls in a
metal barrel on August Is.

Secretary OF the Treasury Sny-
der in a speech today denied that
Imitation can be traced to deficit
financing by the Government.
The cabinet officer addressed $50
bankers from all over the country
| at a conference at the Hotel Stat
Her, preparing for the Defense
Bond drive, which runs from La
Dor Day, September 8. to Octo-
her ~.
Secretary Snyder asserted that
lfor the last five years the Govern
ment has not been engaged in
deficit financing. He contended
that people are attributing infla!
ton to the wrong reasons. He
pointed out the Government ended
the fiscal year June 80 with $7.5
billion in receipts over expendi-
lures. He said the administra-
/ ton. has used that sum plus an
other $7.5 billion in cash left over
from prior years to reduce the ma
tional debt by SIS billion.
Lists Infiati0nary Factors.
"Inflationary pressures in the
last five years are coming from
somewhere else than the Govern
ment," Mr.. Snyder maintained.
He listed as factors in imitation
those who spend more than they
earn; the expansion Of business
beyond requirements and need
less buying.
Mr.. Snyder declared the forth
coming drive will be a real brake
on imitation. He said bankers have
done a tremendous job in this
field and expressed the Govern
ment's appreciation. He added

would turn upon military neces- sity and elementary principles of self-defense."
 Demilitarized Zone
 Acheson also testified that Gen. MacArthur disapproved last Novem- Der proposal for a demilitarized zone on the Korean Manchurian border.
 Acheson told senators that the British, French, Canadians and others had suggested such a zone.
 This was before the Red Chinese entered the war in force. Acheson said the thought was that the zone would make it clear there was no aggressive intention by LIN forces against Red China.
 The secretary said Macarthur didn't think the suggestion was a gooG one and disaprrcved it.
 Armistice Up To LIN
 Acheson said the United States will consult the LIN before making any armistice in Korea. He held to this stand despite insistence from a Democratic senator that this coun- try should be free to act on its own.
 Senator Gillette tangled sharply with Acheson both on the question of an armistice and on President Truman's right in the first place to send U. s. troops to Korea without congressional approval.
 Under Gillette's questions, Ache son said the U. s. commander in the field has the right to bring about an armistice." But he said other LIN members would be con- suited.
 Gillette's RepudiatiOn
 Gillette said he doesn't agree that is necessary. T may say that deplore your interpretation and repudiate it per- sonally," he told Acheson.

BIG MEETING
 E BLOCKED
 BY 50vIETS

WASHINGTON, June 5 = R = Russia's insistence on discussing the North Atlantic Treaty and Ameri- can bases overseas apparently has all but killed off chances for a Big Four foreign ministers meeting in Washington.
 Diplomatic officials generally agreed that is the effect of the Soviet reply Monday to an Ameri- can invitation for the British, French and Russian ministers to meet here with Secretary Acheson July 23.
 It seems equally certain, however, that diplomatic negotiations in Paris and among the four capitals will continue for awhile longer. There is always slight possibility at least that major change in posi- tion by one side or the other would once more open the way for min sters' session.
 Deputies of the Big Four have been meeting in Paris more than three months. A long series of re- latively minor concessions, almost entirely by the Western powers, had advanced very little the efforts to arrive at ministers agenda.
