In Atomic Power
BY the Associated Press

ALLENTOWN. Pa. Oct. IL
Representative Van Zandt, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania, paint
ed glowing picture of American
atomic might today and said 1--WE
must let Russia know our
strength and if there must be a
test let them know now"
A member of the Joint Con-
gressional Committee on Atomic
Energy, the veteran Republican
said the Atomic Energy Com
mission is so far ahead of any
other nation that should there be
a showdown we can lick them on
any battlefield"
"We not only have the atomic
family of weapons, but we have
the means to deliver if necessity
arises" Mr.. Van Zandt told dele
gates to the Eastern States Con-
ference of the Veterans of For
eign Wars.
Mr.. Van Zandt recently re-
turned from a tour of American
Air Force bases in Africa. He
told the conference the United
States has a ring of Air Force
bases established completely
around Russia and her satellites.
He said the United States has
the largest stockpile of atomic
weapons in the world and in the

in all branches of the service we
are equipped to deliver any place

King Gets Command
.0f Cambodia Troops

PHNOM PENN, Camboeia,
Oct. 17.-France and Cambodia'
today signed an agreement COW
ering the military command
setup in the little Indo-C Chinese
kingdom, thus apparently end
ing a bitter dispute that once
threatened to wreck normal re-
lationships between the two
countries.
Under the agreement, France
agreed to give King Norodom
Sihanouk territorial command of
all troops stationed in Cambodia,
including French forces. In ad-
dition, command of four royal
Cambodian battalionS that had
been placed at the disposition of
the French. will revert to control
of the king.
A compromise solution was
reached on five battalions listed
as French Union troops but
made up of Cambodian soldiers.
Two battalions plus 20 supple
mental companies are being re-
turned Immediately to the king.
Three battalions plus nine sup
Elemental companies remain
temporarily under French COM
mand. Negotiations will open
soon to decide the zones where
these troops may be stationed
and how they may be used.

Careless Autoisfs,
Not Speedy Cars,
Called Traffic Peril

Careless drivers and not higher
speed cars are the real hazard
of today's highways, the board
of directors of the General
Federation Of Women's Clubs
was told yesterday.
Addressing the boards annual
safety luncheon at the Hotel
Statler, Light B. Yost. an auto
motive industry official, declared
that traffic accidents are not
caused by the automobile itself,
but rather by ''the person who
cannot or will not drive
properly"
Mr.. YoSt, who is director of
the Field Operation Section of
the General Motors Corp, said
that only through improvement
of the program of driver educa-
ton, driver licensing and traffic
law enforcement can there be eff
fective accident reduction.
More Auto Deaths in 1912.
The General Motors official
said it was misconception that
the auto industry is engaged in
"a speed and horsepower race
without regard to highway
safety"
Ten years ago, he pointed out.
when sped and horsepower were
lower, there were almost 1000
more traffic fatalities than in
1852, and the mileage death rate
was almost two-thirds greater
Safety authorities agree, he
added, that it is not speed it
self, but speed too great for road
conditions. that directly contri-
butte to accidents.
The luncheon featured the
boards fall meeting which closed
yesterday with the announce
ment of candidates seeking
nomination for Office at the fed
eration's convention next May
and launching of a campaign to
restore a part of Independence
Hall.
100000 Restoration Project
The CIVIC expects to raise
approximately 100000 by next
May, toward restoration of the
entire first floor of the historic
shrine, which consists of the AS
sembly Room, the Supreme
Court chamber and the main
hall where the Liberty Bell now
rests.
Mrs. Oscar A. Ahlgren, fedora
ton president, introduced the
candidates, whose names were
presented to the board for its
Endorsement.
The unofficial slate is headed
by Mrs. Theodore S. Chapman,
of Jerseyville, ILL.,, who is unop-
posed. The office of first vice
president, which is sought by
Mrs. R. I. C. Prout, of Wakefield,
Mich, is also unoppoSed.
There are contests for the re-
naming vice presidencies. Miss
Chloe Clifford, of Lexington. KY,
and Mrs. j. w. Walker, of Plain
view, Tex, are seeking the sec
ond vice president post, while
the office of third vice president
is being contested by Mrs. E. Lee
Ozbirn, of Oklahoma City, Okla,
and Mrs. Gilbert Loebs, of
Waterville, Me.

IS AirIiner Passengers
Shaken Up in Landing
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. ia
twin-engine TWA airliner, bound
from New York to Chicago, made
q belly landing at International
Airport today, shaking up Is
passengers as the craft Skidded
to stop.
A TWA spokesman said no
one appeared to be injured seri-
ously.
Two women passengers were
taken to a hospital for exam
ination.
The plane, piloted by Capt. E.
A. Davis of independence, Mo-,
was making a routine landing
when all three wheels of the
landing gear buckled. TWA re-
ported.
Aboard the plane at the time,
in addition to the Is passengers,
were Capt. Davis, First Officer P.
Fletcher, Kansas City, and Host
ess j. Manning, Kansas City.

ing, in the form or lower interest
rates for home mortgages, and
other types of loans.
At the moment, private income
and employment are at. or close
to, all-time highs. In September,
unemployment averaged only a
shade over q million, close to
the all-time low, except for
period in World War II. The
Governments index of consumer
prices also is at a record high,
although there has been COM
paratively little change the past
18 months.
Rise in Unemployment Possible.
AS for the future, Federal Of
ficials concerned with such
things wouldn't be at all sur
priSed if unemployment rises
about million in the next year.
That wouldn't necessarily point
to a recession, because the labor
market has been abnormally
tight and another million unem-
ployed would merely supply the
market with. working room.
On prices and living costs, the
Federal experts see little change
in the coming months. The price
of food, clothing and hard"
goods, like automobiles. prob
ably will decline. But this will
be Offset by rises in other things,
such as rents, which. despite
sharp recent increases, still are
well below what the experts call
their economic level" or their
cost in relation to most other
things people pay for
Living costs have been stable
for 18 months, moving during
that time within a range of
112 per cent.
Government economists say
that those who talk recession are
talking about a downturn from
the present abnormally high
levels of income and employ
ment. They say unemployment
could rise two or three million
and there would be little to
worry about so long as the econ
omy was basically sound" They
consider unemployment Of three
million or so as normal"
But. while an increase of a
couple of million in unemploy-
ment might not alarm the econ
omists unduly, it, would be a
great cause of concern to the
Republicans, who naturally are
already eyeing next years elec-
ton And it is not likely to hap
pen if it can be prevented by
governmental action.

French Blast Bridges
To Isolate Wet Mini
Forces in Offensive
BY the Associated Pres.

HANOI, Indo-China, Oct. II
French navy commandos blew
up two bridges on the coastal
highway below Thanh Hao today
to help isolate Wet Mini forces
menaced by a French offensive
between Cap Rond and the Red
River delta.
A spokesman explained that
destruction of the bridges ended
q possibility the Wet Mini COM
mand could move reinforcements
from the south to aid two Com
muniSt-led divisions which the
French Union forces hope to
force into a showdown battle
within 70 hours.
Navarro Directed Blow.
Gen. Henri Navarro, the
French commander in chief,
directed operations from the
aircraft carrier ArromancheS in
the Gulf of Tonkin. In the
greenisn blue waters of the gulf,
French landing craft cruised
close to the coast. ready to pour
troops ashore at strategic points.
The Communist divisions per-
haps total $4,000 men. One. No.
304, has been based at Thanh
Hao, a rebel supply center and
ancient citadel town of 5000
that has been in Wet Mimi hands
since 1946. 1t lies on the coastal
highway 80 miles south of Hanoi,
the French headquarters and
metropolitan center of the Red
River delta.
The other Wet Mimi division,
No. 800, has been entrenched in
the hills only 10 miles from the
delta's rim at Phu Nho Quan, so
miles south Of Hanoi.
Many Thousands in Drive.
Beyond many thousands, "
the French have not said how
many troops they have thrown
into the offensive, launched at
dawn Thursday with the pri-
mary aim of destroying rebel
supply depots. But they have
set up a pincers movement by
supplementing the original
strike southwark across the Day
River with heavy landings at
Cap Rond, Is milees south of
Thanh Hoa.
SquadronS of French fighters
and bombers closely supported
the ground troops and ham
mered at Wet Mimi concentra-
tionS ahead.
A French army spokesman
said the tWo-pronged drive was
progressing normally and with
out. any serious Wet Mini re-
sistance."

Lines are forming for a battle
royal in the Senate early in the
new session over the treaty-mak-
ing power of the President.
Unless the administration can
reach a satisfactory agreement
in the meantime with the advo-
Gates of a new treaty formula,
the Senate may be delayed in
tackling the long list of urgent
problems that will face it in an
election year.
From his home in Columbus
yesterday, Senator Bricker, Re-
publican, of Ohio, served notice
he will ask for early considera-
ton of the proposed constitu-
tional amendment which bears
his name.
Within the past few days,
Chairman Wiley of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
has vigorously attacked the
Bricker proposal and left no
doubt he will fight its adoption.
The Bricker amendment would
prevent a treaty from having
the force of domestic law unless
accompanied by an act of Con-
gress to give it such effect. The
amendment also would empower
Congress to regulate the Presi-
dents authority to enter into
executive agreements in lieu of
treaties.
Eisenhower For Substitute.
Administration spokesmen op-
posed the Bricker amendment at
the last session, fearing it would
tie the Presidents hands in the
day-to-day conduct of foreign
affairs. After the Judiciary Com
mittee approved it, the admins
tration tried without success to
reach a compromise with Senator
Bricker.
Senate Majority Leader Know
land of California then intro
duced a substitute, which Presi-
dent Eisenhower Fundamentally
indorSed.
The substitute eliminates the
attempt to give Congress blanket

authority to regulate the making
of executive agreements. It also
provides that a treaty would have
to be followed up by an act of
Congress to make it effective as
internal law only if the Senate
included this requirement in
particular treaty.
In a further effort to allay the
fears of those who contend the
domestic rights of American cit
izenS could be curtailed by trea-
ties, the administration substi-
tute would give the courts juris-
diction, in law or equity, in any
case in which it is claimed that
a treaty conflicts with the Con-
stitution.
Hopeful for Compromise.
Senator Bricker said yesterday
that the substitute is not ac-
ceptable to him, which means
the administration faces the task
of winning enough votes to put
through it's substitute or reSum-
ing negotiations for some other
compromise.
The Ohio Senator said he is
still hopeful an acceptable draft
will be worked out.
Senator Bricker regards as
dangerous the proposal to in
vite the courts to take jurisdic-
tion in treaty disputes. He said
treaties involve political ques-
tions, which the courts have
SHE'D away from.
When the Bricker resolution
was introduced on January z it
bore the names of 81 Senators
as co-sponSorS. That gave it an
impressive start, in view of the
requirement of two-thirds ma
jority to pass a Constitutional
amendment. Sixty-four is two
thirds of the entire membership.
Wiley DenOunces Plan.
Since January three of the
signers have died - Senators
Smith of North Carolina, Taft of
Ohio and Tobey of New Hamp-
shire.
Senator Bricker denies that his
resolution, approved by the Judi
ciary Committee, would interfere
with the Presidents freedom of
action in negotiating treaties
which deal only with foreign af-
fairs and involve no domestic
law.
But Senator Wiley, who has
charge Of treaties as chairman of
Foreign Relations, denounced
the Bricker plan as one that
would cripple the treaty making
power"
In stronger language, he said
its adoption would be welcomed
by world communism, because
it would shackle the sovereign
power of the United States Gov
ernment in dealing with the
Communist menace"
| Part of the support for Con-
stitutional amendment has come
from those who fear that some
of the international agreements
drawn up in the United Nations,
such as the covenant on human
rights and the convention on
political right of women, might
pave the way for changing
domestic laws by treaty. Secre-
tary of State Dulles testified at
the last session. however, that
this administration does not in
tend to become party to such
covenants.

u. S. Easing on Tight Money Policy;
Likely to Speed Trend if Recession Neors

economy further. In fact, the
talk now is the other way, and
because of Government actions,
money is getting plentiful again.
The Government began easing
away from tight money" just
before the Treasury floated a
huge Sc billion loan in early
July. The Federal Reserve Board
began pegging the money market
by large-scale purchase of Fed
eral securities for the first time
in two years. The board in
creased the lending power of
banks by lowering the require
ments for reserves the banks
must have on deposit. The
Treasury got it's Sc billion
through issuance of short-term
securities, whereas the earlier
emphasis had been on long-term
bonds. considered less infla-
tionary.
In August, the Federal Reserve
began a new program of buying
Federal securities. a program
that is continuing. and giving
the banks more money to lend.
Then. on October /, the Treas
ury reversed it's earlier practice,
and reduced the interest rate on
large issue of its notes.
Within couple of weeks, the
Treasury will borrow another
SIS to So billion. but has not
indicated the form of the securi-
ties to be. sold or the interest
rate they will carry. The issue
may give an indication as to
future policies.
Money Found, More Plentiful.
Surveys have shown that
money is getting more plentiful
again all over the country. Banks
are beginning to make loans of
a type they rejected last spring.
In fact. the supply of money is
starting to outrun demand. Pri-
vate borrowing normally, in
creases at this time of year when
crops are harvested and stores
get in their Christmas stocks.
But the big demand has failed
to materialize this year. One
reason given is that most stores
already have large supplies of
goods on hand.
So far, the easier money policy
has been reflected only in the
shaving of interest rates and
yields of bonds and other securi-
ties, Government and private.
But before long, the effect prob
ably will be felt in the fields of
private and consumer borrow
