The Hungarian government of
Premier Imre Macy announced
tonight sweeping reduction of
retail prices affecting about TO-
600 kinds Of foodstuffs and in

per cent for the second time
this year.
Bicycles, radio sets and sew
ing machines will be cheaper by

Iran Premier zahedi
Thanks U. 5. for lis
Speedy S45 Million
By The Assoeiosed Pres,

! TEHRAN. Iran, Sept. ST.
Premier Fazolah Zahedi today
expressed Trans gratitude fol
the speed with which the United
States has granted this sorely
pressed nation $45 million in
emergency aid.
The grant was announced in
Denver. Colo, by President Els
enhower who acted just 10 days
after Gen. Zahedi appealed for
swift assistance. saying Trans
treasury was empty and that
money was needed urgently to
enable Iran "to emerge from a
state of economic and financial
chaos"
News Given by Henderson.
United States Ambassador 10y
Henderson carried the Presi-
Dental announcement to Gen.
Zahedi during a cabinet meet
ing at the Foreign Ministry. In
a formal statement. the Iranian
premier declared:
THE speed is particularly ap-
preciated. at a time when
the total amount of funds avail
able to the U. S. government for
foreign aid has been curtailed
and Congress is not in session. I"
The emergency aid is in addi-
tion to $23.400,O00 in technical
assistance that the United States
announced this week would be
extended to the new government
which overthrow Mohammed
Mossadegh's rabid nationalist re-
glme August II and returned
pro-Western Shah Mohammed
Reza Pahlevi to his throne. Mos
sadegh, now jailed and awaiting
trial, has been accused of using
pro- Communist mobs to retain
political power.
Clear Reference to Oil.
The Eisenhower statement
said: "It is hoped that, with our
assistance, there will be an in
crease in the internal stability
of Iran which will allow the de-
velopment of a healthy economy
to which an early effective use of
Trans rich resources will con-
tribute"
(The presidential action was
viewed in the United States as
move to keep Iran from align
ing herself with Soviet Russia,
her neighbor to the north. The
mention of early effective use
of Trans rich resources" was
clear reference to Iranian oil
and the dispute with Britain
which has shut off the supply,
despite United States efforts to
help arrange a settlement
In London, a Foreign Office
spokesman said Britain warmly
welcomed the United States gift
to Iran. He said the Churchill
government had been consulted
in advance of the announcement.

Transatlantic Phone Cable
Planned at $35 Million Cost
Line Will Be 1000 Nautical Miles Long
And at Points Will Be Miles Under Surface

Until now. transatlantic and
trans-Pacific telephone service
has been by short wave.
The longest underwater te1e-
phone cable to date is A. T. &
rs between Key West, Fla,
and Havana, Cuba, using spe-
clal long-life vacuum tube re-
peaters
The transatlantic portion of
the new telephone system, with
it's many vacuum tube repeaters,
will be 1000 nautical miles in
length and will be laid in depths
to 3 miles on the ocean floor
between Scotland and New
foundland. 1t will then connect
with another submarine cable
extending 800 miles westward to
Nova Scotia. From there. a
350-mile overland microwave ra-
dio-relay system will be built to
carry the transatlantic circuits
to the United States border,
where connections will be made
with the Bell System network.
Bell System overseas service
opened on January Z, 1927, with
a single radiotelephone circuit

The Herald Tribune did not
identify the union official it
quoted. However, the Times on
Saturday attributed the same
quote to Denis M. Burke, presi-
dent of striking Local / of the
AFL international Photoengrav-
ers Union.
While negotiations were re-

said no agreement could be effec-
tive until ratified by the union

The photoengravers, who make
the metal plates from which

trationS are reproduced, struck
in support of their demand for
a package increase of SIS a
week, including wages, pensions
and welfare benefits. The pub

capacity to win a long drawn
out war.
Thus there is need, as never
before, of cooperation be-
tween the free nations. Others
recognize that. So do we. To
maintain a cooperation of the
free is a difficult and delicate
process. Without mutual re-
spect and friendship it would
be impossible. We do not pro-
pose to throw away those
precious assets by clustering
and domineering methods.
We shall be firm and per-
SiStent in trying to secure
agreement on what we believe
to be right. We shall expect
a fair sharing of efforts and
burdens. But we shall try not
to be arrogant, or to demand
of others what we ourselves,
if circumstances were reversed,
would reject. In this way, we
retain friendship and we usu-
ally reach agreement. The
fact that some marginal dis
agreements persist is no reason
for sacrificing friendship by
attempting to coerce; the more
SO because the attempt would
be fruitlesS.
These fundamentals of our
foreign policy we're agreed on
by President Eisenhower and
me before I took my present
office. These principles still
stand.

Safety belts, as just one means
of saving lives, are being in

five Indiana State police cars
now are equipped with them. A
harness-type belt, holding the
chest and shoulders back, is bet

type, he added.
The right front seat is one of
the greatest danger spots. A
study of passengers only, ex-
cluding what happened to driv-
erS, found that 70 per cent of
passengers killed were riding in
the right front seat and % per
cent in rear seats.
At Detroit, an auto industry
spokesman said today that while
such belts are not made by the
car manufacturers they are
available and can be installed
for any motorists who want them.

thousands of lives in highway

For they were not killed by

Transit Control
Small and Hyde Ask
For Regional Boord as
Senate Inquiry Opens
BY Don S. Worren

Public hearings in the Senate
inquiry into Greater Washing
tons transportation problems
were opened today with call by
two of Maryland's Representa-
tives for the creation of a re-
eional commission to control
metropolitan transit services.
Representatives Hyde of Mary
lands 9Th district and Small Of
Maryland's 5th district, both Re-
publicans. said they feared the
work of the Senate committee
would be futile unless Congress
stepped in to create a regional
commission.
Such commission is proposed
in a bill passed earlier this year
by the Senate but it has been
languishing in the House Com
merce Committee.
Bill Being Revised.
Mr.. Hyde said he feared this
bill would have to travel a rocky
road, but that he was having
it revised and would fight for
its adoption.
Senator Morse, Independent,
of Oregon warned that the Ma
tlonal Capital faced demands
for public ownership unless ade-
quate service at reasonable fares
could be obtained from the
regulated monopoly"
Unless we can get such ade.
quate and reasonable servlCs,"
Senator Morse said, I'VE must,
face the ugly fact-and it is an
ugly fact-of providing that
transportation at public eX-
pense." He said he would never
want TO be forced to vote for
public ownership, but added
But, believe me, I will if I
have to-"
About so representatives Of
civic groups from Washington
and nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia attended the session. More
than a dozen citizen spokesmen
were to take the stand today.
The Capital Transit Co.. one Of
the focal points of the inquiry.
was represented by half dozen
of its top officials.
Portions of the session were
recorded on a sound film by
WTOP-TV for later television
use.
Urges Regional Control.
Pushing the idea of the re-
gional control commission, Rep
resentative Hyde said streetcar
and bus services in and near the
District now were subject to
regulation by four different COM
missions. These are the District
Public Utilities Commission, the
Maryland Public Service Com
the Virginia State Cor
poraticn Commission and the
Commerce Commits
sion.
He said: "It certainly is evi-
dent that anything this commits
tee might do would be futile
unless there is imposed a regional
control commission, for we can't
adequately cope with the prob
lens unless we have a regional
commission which could deal
with the problems of the re-
gion as whole" Y
Advocates Train Service.
Citing a decision by the Mary
land commission granting the
Capital Transit Co. increased
fares, he said that commission
had thrown up its hands" over
the interrelated Maryland and
District service problem because
its jurisdiction stopped at the
District line.

Dulles Reply to Mccarthy
United States Does Not Intend to Coerce
Other Nations, Secretary Of State Says

The tert of Secretary of
State Dulles statement today
replying to Senator McCarthy's
recent criticism, of the admin
iStration's foreign policy:
Since I met with you last
week there has been a widely
publicized criticism of this ad-
ministration's foreign policy.
The burden of that criticism
was that we spoke too kindly
to our allies and sent them
"perfumed" notes, instead of
using threats and intimidation
to compel them to do our
bidding.
I welcome constructive crit
iciSm. But the criticism I re-
fer to attacks the very heart of
United States foreign policy.
1t is the clear and firm pur-
pose of this administration to
treat other free nations as SOW
ereign equalS-whether they be
large or small, strong or weak.
My grandfather, John w. Fos-
ter of Indiana, himself a Sec,
retary of State, said of Amer
ican foreign policy that from
the beginning it had been
marked by "a spirit of justice,
forbearance and magnanim-
ity." do not intend myself
to mar that record.
The tide of recent events
has made our Nation more
powerful, but I believe that it
should not make us less loyal
to our great American tradi-
tions, and that it should not
blur our dedication to the
truths, expressed in our Decla-
ration of independence, that
we owe a respect to the opin-
ions of others.
Today it is to our interest
to assist certain countries. But
that does not give us the right
to try to take them over, to
dictate their trade policies and
to make them our satellites.
