Urges Steps 10 Aid
Britain S Economy
Bv Froncis P. DouaIos

Proposals for bolstering the
economy of Great Britain, "our
strongest and closest ally" were
advanced yesterday in a report
by a top ranking economic re-
search organization.
The report, by the Committee
for Economic Development, also
outlined steps the CED believes
Britain should take in its own
strengthening.
It suggested as one measure
that the British might accept a
retarded rate of growth in their
living standards. If this is done.
the CED said, the United States
should be prepared, if neces-
sary, to assume for a period an
increased share of the burden
Of defending the Free World"
The committee stressed the
difficulties created by American
protectionist policies in world
divided by the Iron Curtain. 1t
advocated a program to ease
balance Of payments problems
on Britain and its Common
wealth, and other countries as
well.
Makes Five Proposals.
These five specific recommen-
datiOnS were made:
/. Extend the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Act. This
should be free of the peril
point" provisions for higher
tariff rates if domestic industry
is held to be hurt by imports.
2. Permit the President to re-
1duce import duties unilaterally,
that is, to cut a duty without
an immediate reciprocal gain.
8. Simplify American customs
procedures.
4. Progressively remove agri-
cultural import quotas.
5. Liberalize or repeal out
right the Buy American Act.
Initial reaction to these pro-
poSals in Congress was cool.
Senate Majority Leader Taft and
Chairman Millikin of the Senate
Finance Committee both were
skeptical of Congress taking
action on such a program-with
one exception. The exception
was simplification of tariff pro-
cedures.
Under provisions of the Buy
American Act, the Government
must purchase domestic products
unless the desired imported
products are Is per cent cheaper
after payment of duties. Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat, of
Mississippi has introduced a bill
for repeal of the measure. He
said he believes it has a good
chance Of success.
Foundation for Program.
The .CED laid the foundation
Tor its program with this state
ment:
"1he strengthening of Britain
and the Anglo-American part
nership must be the cornerstone
Of American foreign policy.
Otherwise the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization would fall
apart, the morale of the conti-
mental European countries would
crumble and the United States
would be automatically and mil
itarily isolated"
The report is the result Of more
than a year of study and debate
by the organizations Research
and Policy Committee. It was
made public at a news confer
ence by CED Chairman Meyer
Kestnbaum. president of Hart
Schaffner & Marx, Chicago, and
Frazer B. Wilde, committee
chairman. who is president of
the Connecticut General Life In
Surance Co., Hartford.

NEWARK, NJ j., April 7 -
Thirteen companies. writing auto

ordered to eliminate references to

ton forms, it was reported last

ly Negroes"
Gaffney said six of the 100
companies writing automobile COW
erage in the state ''included the
word colored in the accident report
form and one company included
the word race or color in both
forms.
These Is firms have been direct
ed to cease and resist these prac-

not be allowed to teach a Negro
child.
In the event that the U. S. Su-
preme Court did outlaw segregated
schools he said that it would mean
more instead of less schools and
more instead Of less jobs for Negro
Teachers.
In commenting on what would
banpen if segregated schools are
~ntlawed, Mr.. White saw the pos
Sibility of some violence in certain
sections but memorized its nature
and predicted ultimate compliance
in Mississippi and every other Sou
thern state with the ruling of the
United States Supreme Court.
Commenting on the political pic
ture he expressed a great conf
dence in the personal integrity, and
honest intentions of President
Eisenhower and said in certain Re-
publican, and DiXiecrats he was
surrounded by the most un-holy
group seen in the Congress who
would try to block every move in
tended to benefit the nations mi
norities.
The meeting Of the separate
Greek letter groups which extended
through the weekend was largely
attended and each was hailed by its
officers and delegates as an out
standing success.
Outstanding National officers as
we'll as regional officers from each
group attended the conference.
The delegates attending the con-
ference represented the states of
Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louis

as acquiesence."
Admiral Boone's statement was
in reply to an inquiry as to the
reason why no Negro physicians
are listed on the published list of
V. AS Council of Chief Consult
ants. The inquiry was made for
the American Veterans Committee
by DR.. Paul P. Cooke, professor of
English, in Miner Teachers College,
Washington, D. c., and militant
crusader for civil rights.
In his reply, Admiral Boone
stated that in utilizing the services
of a Council of Chief Consultants,
Veterans Administration clocks to
the medical wisdom Of its men,
bers, and is not interested in their
color, religion, financial status or
other irrelevant factors"
He stated further, at is true
that Negro physicians are not rep
resented on the Council. That is
not becaue of any real or imagi-
nary bar that has been set up by
the Veterans Administration tc
exclude them from the Council be-
cause of their race. The top-level
medical consultants of the Veter-
ans Administration are physicians
renowned in their individual spe-
cialties, who are recognized in the
medical profession as leaders in
their fields of endeavor by reason
of their work, their hospital and
university connections. Men of
their professional stature are linn
tied in numbers, which I mention
only to point out that your con-
tention that there are many Negro
physicians of their caliber may be
subject to challenge"
The Journal editor asserts that
he wishes the answer to Admiral
Boone to come from Negro ply
.sicians themselves. He reminds

Commenting on the case for the
abolition Of segregation in the pub

said there was no one who could
say that knows what the U. S. SUI

but expressed the opinion that
decision might be made in a few
days or during the fall term Of the
court.

In Fight on Gangs

Two juveniles were in the Re-

their arrest after 20-block, TO-

Friday night.
The boys, who are Is and II

pecially at night.

way station.
Bishops Forced Out.
! Both Bishop Kostic and Cath
olic Bishop Carlo Celik, apos-
tolic administrator of Banja
Luka, were forced to leave the
city. the Belgrade press said.
When the violence began sew
eral weeks ago, it was directed
at Bishops Franic, Pusic and
Banjo, ostensibly because of
their opposition to the "patri-
otto priests" movement being
fostered by the government.
Although the Belgrade Radio
described the mob that assaulted
Bishop Franic at Makarska as
irresponsible persons" local
Communists explained it away
by saying that the people were
angered because the bishop had
come to Makarska to break up
attempts to form a branch of the
Patriotic Priests association
there.
Reports reaching Trieste sew
eral days later said the Makar-
ska incident was one of two care
fully planned by the Yugoslav
Communist Union and the So
cialist Front.
The second, it was said, took
place at Metkovic where 5000
persons were organized to pro-
test the bishops visit.
Future for Orthodox.
Catholic Church relations with
the Yugoslav regime have been
bad for a long time. But until
as recently as last spring,
Orthodox leaders were reported
to be getting along fairly well
with the government.
What apparently changed the
situation is that the Orthodox
bishops, meeting in June, failed
to announce approval of the new
religious law, which had been
bitterly opposed by the Catholic
hierarchy. Within few weeks,
the Communist press began Civ
ing wide publicity to attacks on
the Orthodox, as well as Catholic,
Hierarchy.
Whether last weeks mob action
against two Orthodox prelates
means that the Serbian Orthodox
hierarchy is to share fully with
the Catholic bishops the brunt
OF the Yugoslav regimes anti
religious orientation convictions,
only the Communists can tell
now.
