From U. s; Calls II Unfit
BY the Associated Press

HONG KONG, July 31.-Phar-
maceutical export firms here said
today more than one million
vials of United States and British
penicillin worth about 100000
has been rejected as unfit" by
Communist China.
The rejected drugs began ar
irving in Hong Kong yesterday.
This is the second large drug
shipment to be refused by the
Reds. Trade sources said many
smaller druggists have been
wiped out.
Earlier this year about $685.
900 worth of European made
streptomycin was rejected on
grounds that it didn't meet Red
China's specifications
Officials said China was using
Soviet specifications which were
higher than European standards.
The penicillin was reported re-
jected because some of the drug
stuck to the sides of the vials.
Officials here pointed out that
United States penicillin shipped
here in 1949 stuck to the sides of
vials because it had been proc
essed in a different way. They
said tests showed the drug was
in perfect condition.

British Say Dulles
.CompIieates Peace
By Korean Stand
BY the Assoeioted Press

LONDON, July 31.-The Brit
ish press today accused United
States Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles of complicating
the Korean peace problem and
of putting America out of step
with her allies. A few news
papers carried headlines saying
the United States may have to
"go it alone" in the Orient.
Mr.. Dulles told a Washington
news conference Tuesday that
the United States would walk
out Of the Korean peace confer
ence after 80 days if it felt the
Communists were deliberately
stalling. This statement brought
resounding reaction yesterday
in Parliament. Acting Prime
Minister Richard A. Butler told
the House of Commons that
Britain would expect definitely
to be consulted before any such
action"
Press reaction was almost
identical. regardless of political
complexion. Editorials said Brit
ain wants to cooperate with the
United States in getting a Far
Eastern settlement but added
this can not be done if Mr.. Dulles
adopts such line before Lon
don's views have been canvassed.
The influential, independent
Times described Mr.. Dulles re-
marks as "untimely and peremp-
tory" and regretted that United
States-BritiSh pickering had
broken out. It added that Mr..
Dulles statements seemed to
say that the United States had
its policy cut and dried before
the proposed political conference
on Korea is even arranged, and
before other members of the
United Nations had been able to
give their views"
The conservative daily Mail
praised Clement Attlee, Labor
leader and former prime minis
ter, for his description in Com
mons yesterday of Mr.. Dulles
remarks as dangerous and dis
turbing. a

Permit Plan Provides
Capital Transit Fair
Return, Hearing Told

The Capital Transit Co. could
earn a fair return by adopting
75-cent permit requiring 10
cents cash per ride and raising
the straight cash fare to 18 cents,
according to testimony before
the Public Utilities Commission
Tokens would continue to sell
at five for IS cents under the
fare schedule developed in
testimony presented by the COM
mission staff designed to pro-
duce return of COL per cent.
The commission has recessed
until August 18 the hearings on
the company's request to in
crease it's fares to 20 cents, sell
tokens five for 95 cents, and
eliminate the weekly pass.
Institution of a permit system
to replace weekly passes was
recommended by Edward A.
Roberts. a New York consultant
employed by the commission as
an expert.
This followed testimony by
Fred Kleinman, an official of
the Illinois State Public Serv-
ice Commission retained by the
local commission, that from 6
to 6A per cent was a fair rate
of return.
J. w. Falk, the commission S
executive accountant, then told
the commission that the 10 cents
cash. f1ve-for-75-cents tokens
and the 75-cent permit plan
would bring the $158.568 in

needed to produce a COL per
cent rate of return.
He listed net operating in
come at present fares as being
$1,248,541.
Present fares are II cents
cash, tokens five for IS cents
and a weekly pass selling for
$2.40.
Mr.. Roberts suggested several
schedules which might be built
around the 75-cent permit plan.

U.S.. Delegation, With
Gov. Byrnes, 10 U. n.
BY The Assoeicted Press

The new United States dele
CATION to the United Nations,
including Gov. James F. Byrnes
of South Carolina whose selec-
ton had stirred up some diff
ferences among Democrats, won
Senate confirmation today with
out discussion on the floor.
Along with Gov. Byrnes, Henry
Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts,
was confirmed as schief Ameri-
can representative at the eighth
session of the U. N. General AS
sembly, and Representatives
Frances Payne Bolton, Republi-
can. of Ohio, and James p.
Richards, Democrat, of South
Carolina, as members of the del
egation.
AlternateS Confirmed
These alternates also were con-
flrmed: Archibald j. Carey, jr..
Chicago. a minister of the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Church: ::
James D. zellerbach, San Fran
cisco, chairman of the board of
the Fibre Board Products Co.;
Henry Ford II, president of the
Ford Motor Co.; DR.. Charles w.
Mayo, Rochester, Mimi; and
Mrs. Oswald B. Lord of New
York, a member of the U.N.
Human Rights Commission.
The appointments had won
quick approval from the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
despite questions from some
Democrats as to whether they
represented a full compliance
with the precedent that the dele
cation should be bipartisan.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat.
OF Alabama, who has served on
the delegation. said the selec-
tion of Gov. Byrnes raised a
question as to whether President
Eisenhower had appointed any
Democrat who voted the Demo-
cratic presidential ticket last
year." Gov. Byrnes, holder of
numerous high posts under Dem
ocratic administrations, support
ed Gen. Eisenhower last year.
Democrats Required.
Senator Sparkman pointed out
that Federal laws require ap-
pointment of a certain number
OF Democrats to Federal agencies
that have been set up on a BIZ
partisan basis, although the
U. N. delegates are not in this
group.
While lauding appointment of
Gov. Byrnes to the U. N. post,
Senator Sparkman asked, "Is he
really a Democrat if he support
ed the Republican nominee?"
and answered his own question,
technically, I think he is be-
cause he is a registered Demo-
crat."
He added: "In any event, be-
cause of his long service in both
houses of Congress, in executive
agencies, as an associate Su-
preme Court justice and AS Sec
retary of State, he is admirably
qualified"
Senator Sparkman disagreed
with Democratic National Chair
man Stephen Mitchell, who said
in Chicago Wednesday he regrets
the Byrnes appointment. Mr..
Mitchell said he did not consider
Gov. Byrnes Representative of
our party" tc.y =

Foreign Aid
(Continued From First Page.

sion, the measure provides $106
million for technical assistance,
compared with SIT million
granted by the House and $40
million asked for.
MSA officials feel that the
economy restrictions imposed in
the program will still be a seri-
Gus handicap in the coming year
Many projects already under
way will have to be postponed
or abandoned, with unfortunate
psychological effects in critically
important areas. The program
itself, however, will survive.
The same goes for the techni-
cal assistance program of the
United Nations, which is largely
underwritten by the United
States contribution. UN officials
had predicted that the program
would be wrecked unless the
House allotment of $4,5 million
was raised near to the asked
for $12.7 million. The compro-
mise version of the foreign aid
bill authorizes $9.5 million for
UN technical asSistance-enough
to revive the hopes of the off,
cialS concerned.
Less Generous in NATO.
On the matter of defense sup
port--economic aid for NATO
countries to meet their own mill
tary obligations-the congress
sional confereeS were less gen.
erous. The final agreement ups
the House figure from 5000 mil
lion to 1920 million. 1t is still
$50 million short of what was
considered a rock-bottom ad-
ministration request. The posi-
bility that some NATO countries,
particularly Britain, will be
forced to trim their military
budgets to match the American
economy move still remains.
{ Still. MSA officials point out
that in the overall picture the
foreign aid program is better of
than many had anticipated.
Where the shoe pinches too tight
they have the authority to trans
fer up to 10 per cent of the total
funds from some other program
to meet the emergency. BY this
device, the most valuable parts
of the program are expected to
squeak through another year.
Many Reservations FOreseen.
Restoration of many of the
House cuts was foreseen. In re-
cent years it has become almost
routine for the House to make
the grand economy gestures
early in the game and then settle
for the more realistic Senate
version.
Nevertheless, Administration
officials have been impressed by
the general hostility to the Mu-
tual Security Program brought
out in the course of the congress
Sional debate this year. In view
of the continuing contribution
that the United States must
make to western military
strength. they are looking to the
future with less confidence than
ever before
