Retail Group Attacks
Low PIX. Prices
BY the Associated Press

The American Retail Fedora
ton has taken a new jab at the
military'S low-price post ex-
change system.
Declaring that men in uni
form should pay the same prices
as civilians for the things they
buy, the federation said it would
have mo objection" to a pay
raise for Servicemen if that is
necessary.
But the federation, represent
ing So national and State groups
of retail merchants, reiterated
its demand that the PIX stores
be barred from selling jewelry
and semiluxury items in COM
petition with commercial re-
tailerS.
Rowland Jones, jr., president
of the federation, made public
a letter to Chairman Short of
the House Armed Services Com
mittee sharply criticizing a sub
committee report which said the
exchanges are being properly
run"
The subcommittee. in a re-
port August IL, rejected the
federation demand that the
exchanges stop selling watches,
compacts, washing machines and
a host of other items.
The report said the federation
was seeking to destroy" the PIX
system and declared that serv-
icemen would need a pay boost
"if they are expected to pay
the same prices as civilians for
everything they require"

Health of Heart Victims Held
Revived by Installing Sd Artery

It is not recommended for
persons so i'll that they have
heart pains even when resting.
Muscles Close Back.
For the spare artery DR.. Vine
berg uses the internal mammary
artery which nourishes tissues
in the chest. One end of this
artery is permanently closed of.
The free end is placed inside
a tunnel created by separating
heart muscle tissue. The muscles
are not cut. They close back,
holding the spare artery in place.
Tests on animals show that
the spare artery begins to grow
within week, sending out new
branches. These apparently
join up with smaller arteries
in the heart muscle, and the
blood coursing in from the spare
artery is carried away in nor
NAL fashion.
The animal studies show that
the spare artery within three
weeks to a month is supplying
enough blood to keep the heart
alive even if one of the coronary
arteries becomes completely
blocked, Mr.. Vineberg said.

Europe and Russia
Pact for Security
is Urged by Spaak
By the Associated Press

STRASBOURG, France, Sept.
15.-Belgium's Paul Henri Spaak
yesterday called for a European
union, including Germany, which
would offer Russia a security
pact Endorsed by the United
States and Britain.
Mr.. Spaak made his recon-
mendation to the consultative
assembly of the Council of
Europe, of which he is former
president. His proposal bore
some similarity to British Prime
Minister Churchill's plea earlier
I this year for a new Locarno"
pact under which the West
would guarantee a united Ger
many against a Russian attack
and Russia against a German
attack.
Another development aimed at
closer cooperation in Western
Europe was reported by in
formed official sources in Lon
don last night. These inform
ants said Britain had pledged
new linkup with the proposed
European Defense Community.
Held Important Step.
This move, regarded as an i'm
portant step to speed German re-
armament, would include British
membership on the Ministerial
Council, which would direct EDO
strategy, and assignment of a
permanent British mission to
EDO headquarters, the inform
ants said.
The reported British move also
might speed ratification of the
EDO treaty, particularly by
France. Paris originated the
EDO proposal to include Ger
man divisions to aid in defending
Western Europe against possible
aggression from the East. OF
late, however, French fears of
rearmed Germany have in
creased. One of the French con-
ditions for continued support of
EDO was greater participation in
it by Britain.
Mr.. Spaak, former Premier of
Belgium, submitted his written
report to the Consultative As
sembly's General Affairs Com
mittee, on the eve of the Assem-
bly's public sessions.
EurOpe's Parliament"
The Consultative Assembly is
the deliberate branch of the
Council of Europe and is some
times called Europe's unofficial
parliament" 1t is composed of
representatives chosen by the
Parliaments of Belgium, Britain,
Denmark, France, Greece, Ice
land, Ireland, Italy, Luxem-
bourg, the Netherlands, Norway,
Sweden and Turkey.
The assembly makes recon-
mendations on matters of COM
mon concern to member coun-
tries. to the Committee of Min
listers. This committee is COM
posed of foreign ministers of the

Bugs Cut Rugs
In Courtroom;
D. G. Pays the Tab

The hungry Buffalo moth has
respect for neither due process
of law nor judicial dignity, it
would appear.
The meets have been chewing
numerically on the rug of at
least one Municipal Court Judge.
So much so, in fact, that the
1855 budget estimate includes a
request for one new rug for this
juriSt.
The estimates released today
call for money to replace II rugs
in judicial chambers. The other
10 should be discarded simply
because, after l years use, they
have developed worn places in
the center and frayed edges.
The replacement cost would be
$2,750.
Courtroom flags also are re-
queSted, because nine of the Is
courtrooms have been without
them for years. The flag cost
would total 1898.

The third artery brings life

Capehart Advocates
6. 0. P. Policy Posts
For Senate Chairmen
BY the AssOeioted Pres.

Senator Capehart, Republican
of Indiana said today he is lead
ing a move to put all the Is Re-
publican chairman of Senate
standing committees on the
chambers Republican Policy
Committee and give them a
dominant voice.
Such a step has been dis
cuSSed before. Senator Cape
hart said he plans to press for
its approval when Congress re-
turns in January.
Presumably it would reduce
the influence of the Senate Re-
publican floor leader-Senator
Knowland, Republican, of Cali
fornia. but Senator Capehart
emphasized that is not his aim.
ut would be for the best in
terests of harmony and eff
ciency," he said. 1T would give
you, in effect, board of direc-
tors which would include your Is
managers or committee chair
men. I think it would be a wise
step, and that's why I am for it."

Embassy. That was United States
territory and Czech police could
not reach me there. Without
thinking to pick up even pajamas
and shaving kit, set out.
There were two ways from
stairway to street-one through
the front entrance, the other out
side door and down passage
way. 1 chose the second as the
safer.
1t was not necessary. Nobody
recognizable as a detective was
either in the lobby or out front
I slammed the car door and
drove off. Down the street, the
Tatraplan also pulled away from
the curb.
Once I was on National avenue
I had a straight stretch of al
most a mile down past the Ma
tional Theater and across the
Vltava River Then a turn to
the right and another miles
drive would bring me to the hilly
side street on which the Embassy
fronted.
! My shadoWers-there were two
men in the car behind-kept a
discreet distance till after the
turn. Then they started gaining
on me.

They speeded up, too, despite
heavy traffic. At length. the
Tatraplan was the third car be-
hind me. But a few seconds later
1 turned up the hill and parked
opposite the Embassy.
I looked back. The black au-
tomobile had not followed me
into the side street. I ran across
to the Embassy gate. And for
the first time in many minutes
I felt safe.

l returned to the Office. An
other black Tatraplan picked
up my trail and followed me
all the way, parking up the
street from the office.

the two men seated in it-a lit
tie bald fellow with a fringe
of gray hair and a thin, Swarthy
youth who looked Italian-both
of them in shirt sleeves. I said
"StB?" (That is the Czech alb
breviation for the official name

The dark young man rotated
an index finger beside his right
ear. 1t was a gesture that means,
in any language, You have

That evening I was lying on
my bed at the hotel when Mr..
Thompson telephoned, back from
the picnic and anxious to know
if I was all right. I told him
I would see him the next day.
But I did not. Because the
