European Defense Plan Losing
Steam, but u. S. Keeps Hoping


planning a peripheral defense of
the continent from strategic
bases and that EDO will be the
signal for American troops to
clear out. Both of these ideas
scare Europeans. The fear is
perhaps less that they will be
abandoned to Russian aggression
than that Germany, rearmed,
will be able to achieve military
domination of the continent, in
spite of EDO. State Department
denials have made far less i'm
preston than the original report.
Beyond these developments, q
number of other hurdles still
stand in the way of the Euro
pean Defense Community. Fore
most, perhaps is the lack of prog
ress made in negotiations be-
tween Paris and Bonn over the
future status of the Saar. Rati-
fication of EDO depends on a
solution of this problem. and so
far there is no prospect of an
early settlement.
Other Factors Involved.
There are also less tangible
acknowledgements in Korea,
the war in Indo-China. the fu-
ture moves of the Russians-all
of which could quickly douse
present hopes for ratification.
Some-including a number of
apparently competent Europeans
have long since abandoned
hope. To their mind, EDO has al
ways been a fantastically un-
workable concept, providing no
real security. At this point, they
say, the idea of an integrated
European army has reality only
to Americans who can have no
concept of the difficulties. So
far as the Europeans are con-
cerned, it has become a mere
shibboleth-a meaningless de-
vice, useful only as a political
key to the favor of American
officialdom. This profoundly pes
simistic view of EDO has at
tracted new adherents in recent
weeks.
American officials, on the
other hand, declare stoutly that
this view is quite incorrect.
State Department spokesmen,
recently returned from Europe,
claim to be encouraged about
the prospects of ratification.
They concede the difficulties but
insist that the overall outlook
is good. In particular, they de-
plore the suggestion that a
search for an alternative solu-
ton to the European defense
problem is in order.
Justified or not, such opti-
mism is probably inevitable. At
this point, our officials are in
much the same position as
politicians on the eve of an
election. AS long as there is
the remotest chance that EDO
will be ratified, and as long as
what they say may affect the
outcome, confidence will be the
watchword.
To those who think that EDO
still has a chance, this will ap-
pear as admirable consistency
To those who don't, it seems like
dangerous and inf1exible COM
mitment to a lost cause.

Menon Delays Vote
On Disarmament 10
Seek u. N. Harmony
By the Associated Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Nov. 14.-V. K. Krishna Menon
of India stalled off a vote today
in the U. N. political committee
on widely different proposals
about how to tackle the problem
of disarmament. He said he
would try to get some unanimity
over the week end. Delegates held
little hope he would succeed.
At the same time, diplomats
reported Soviet Deputy Foreign
Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky
was working behind the scenes
to smooth over his uncompro-
missing speech to the political
committee yesterday. He was
absent today and Soviet Dele
gate Jacob A. Malik took a
somewhat calmer tone in the
debate.
These diplomats said if the
committee had voted yesterday
everyone except the Red bloc
would have voted against Mr..
Vishinsky's arms proposals. They
added that he wants to get some
countries to abstain if they do
not support his view.
Approval Expected.
Even though there will be a
great amount of political talk
and maneuvering on all sides
during the week end, the COM
mittee is expected to approve by
big vote a 14-nation resolution
suggesting procedures for future
work on the topic of disarma-
ment.
This includes a call for the
Disarmament Commission to
consider the possibility of pri-
vate talks by the big powers un-
der the commissions sponsor
ship.
Alexis Kyrou of Greece, one of
the sponsors of the 14-power
program, and Rafael de la Colina
of Mexico, whose country took a
big hand in the 1851 Paris As
sembly in trying to spur on dis
armament, seconded Mr.. Men
on's appeal for the committee to
delay a vote until Monday at
least.
Proposes Amendment.
Mr.. Menon proposed an
amendment by which the As
sembly would affirm it's earnest
desire to agree as early as pos
sible on comprehensive and CO.
ordinated plan under interna-
tional control for the regulation,
limitation and reduction of all
armed forces and ornaments
and for measures to eliminate
altogether the use and power to
use atomic, hydrogen. bacterial,
chemical and all such other
weapons of war and mass de-

wording of the 14-power resolu-
ton and some diplomats said
the West might accept it.
Mr.. Menon also proposed that
the Disarmament Commission
hold private meetings in the diff
ferent countries most concerned
with the problem. This is the
first time anyone has suggested
the Disarmament Commission
hit the road, and the first Amer
ican reaction was it would cost
too much money. Advocates of
the idea replied, however, that
if disarmament becomes effective
the savings will be far greater
than the travelling expenses of
the commission.
The Russians are demanding
that the commission be instruct
ed to work out a scheme of dis
armament by March /, 1854

General Tax Raise Needed

in the States and even far below
Canada and that there has been
congressional criticism over "rel-
alive lowness Of our motor fuel
and truck licensing taxes"
He added that if such additional
tax funds are marked for roads,
airport and harbor facilities, II
doubt whether there would be
serious public opposition to the
increase"
A substantial part of the motor
fuel revenue will come from the
growing traffic into Alaska over
the Alaska Highway and from
fishing boats "doWn below"
With emphasis the governor
told the lawmakers:
'This legislature, perhaps more
than any previous one, with a
budget easily balanceable and the
largest surplus in our history, and
with an expanding economy, has
the opportunity to make secure
permanently prosperous Alaska
with a widely diversified econ
omy."
In closing his comprehensive
tWo-hour message, the governor
admonished the legislators to
seek to match natures bounties
in Alaska with a corresponding
breadth of purpose and vision.
ut is great challenge, a great
opportunity, great goal" he
said. Towards its attainment /
wish you every success and pledge
you my full cooperation"
Most legislators who were asked
for comment said they considered
it much more conciliatory in tone
than most of his previous mes
sages, and inclusive survey of

Sens. Lying, Barnes
Ask Repeal Of
Reorganization Act

JUNEAU, Up - Repeater bills
were the order of the day in the
Alaska Senate Wednesday.
Sens. Lying, Nome Democrat,
and Barnes, Wrangell Republican,
introduced a measure to repeal
the reorganization act passed in
the closing hours of the last legis-
lature. Lying opposed its passage
in the Senate in 1851 and Mrs.
Barnes, then representative, OPP
posed it in the House.
The reorganization act proposed
eliminating the auditor and treas
urer as elective offices and reor-
ganized the Territorial Board of
Administration, but was never put
fully into effect.
Eleven of the Is senators also
joined in introducing a bill to re-
peal the general property tax en-
acted at the last session. They
were Sens. Lying; Jensen, Douglas
Democrat; and Republicans Step
ovich, Fairbanks; Robson, An
chorage; Engstrom, Juneau; Lha-
mon, Fairbanks; Gorsuch, Anch-
orage; Barnes and Coble, Fair
banks; Snider, Wasilla; and Jones,
Nome.
Another bill by Sens. Gorsuch
and Robson would provide an
elective board Of education, with
one member from each division
and one elected from the terri
tory at-large.

A RISE IN CONGRESSIONAL PAY?

The question of higher pay and larger expense ac-
counts for all members of Congress is alive again
in Washington. One of the it has been brought
up at this time is the furore which caused in the
1852 election campaign when it revealed that
of the candidates had accepted money from pri
Vate sources.
The question Of higher pay and larger expense al
lowances is nothing in Congress. The Congress
periodically votes itself increases although there is
some question whether the increases have kept pace
with the increased cost of living in recent years. The
latest raise on few years ago and the present
base salary $4,000 year for Senators and Congress-
men, in addition to an expense allowance Of $780,
which has been tax-free, but upon which taxes will
have to be paid this year Thus salaries this year will
be 5,000 taxes to be paid on all of it.
Members of Congress are given travel allow
ance but this does not all the trips they make
liberazed with good effect Some congressman sup
plement their earnings by putting members Of their
family the payroll and this adds to the $4,000 in
earned by these members. It is interesting to note
here that Senator's representing entire state incur
more expenses in operating their offices than do
bers of Congress- thong the salaries the same
In any adjustment it would not be out of line for
the differences duties of Senators and Congressman
to be taken into consideration The $4,000 salary Cor
the $4,000 salary it stands today should be main
tanned. Expense allowances and travel allowances,
however, should be increased in keeping with the
times. There is reason of the expense allow
should not be tax-free and this allowance should
be greater for Senators than for Congressman.
The average voter would probably approve a rea-
sonable bill along this line one which would not in
crease salaries but merely provide these public
wants with more practical expense allowances.

COP Group Asks
Demo Appointees
To Resign Posts

JUNEAU, LR.- The Alaska Re-
publican Central Committee met
Wednesday night to seek an
agreement on a recommendation
for governor but Chairman Elson
EngStrom reported after the mid
night adjournment that the only
endorsement reached was for
Larry Moore for manager of the
Alaska Railroad. Moore is man
ager of the Alaska General Con-
tractors.
Engstrom replied to question
put during the open part of the
meeting that he had received a
wire from B. Frank Heintzeman,
Alaska regional forester, that he
will recognize the Republican
Central Committee" if named
governor.
Reports from Washington, DC,
two weeks ago indicated that
Heintzleman's appointment was
imminent until the Alaska Cen
trail Committee pressed for a voice
in the appointment. Engstrom
said this was the "first I've heard
from Heintzleman.'
Other reports have indicated
that party leaders have frowned
on Heintzleman because he has
not been identified with party
activities.
Ray Beach, committee secre-
tary, disclosed he wired Secretary
of the Interior Mckay at one
stage. to delay an appointment
until after Engstrom's arrival in
Washington on Jan. Is.
Whether HeintZleman's wire
would increase his chances of OBJ
tanning committee endorsement
remained conjectural.
In another resolution, the COM
mittee called on all appointees of
the Democratic administration to
resign their positions in the terri
tory. The resolution, sponsored
by Rep. Herald Stringer, Anchor
age Republican, said Republicans
did the same after the Roosevelt
election. Beach said there are
about 500 jobs to be filled by ap-
pointment in the territory.

Moy in Georgetown

This is a beautiful time of the
year to visit Georgetown. The
trees. and gardens provide a mag
nificent background for the old
houses. Georgetown is made up
Of many things. First, the old
houses on tree-lined streets and
the great estates of Evermay,
Tudor Place, Dumbarton Oaks
and Prospect House, -. the old
Canal and the quaint little houses
nestled along its banks the
bells of Healy Tower, and the
shining Potomac at the foot of
Wisconsin Avenue J.. Billy Mar
tins Carriage House. The old
street signs on lamp posts remind
one of the days when the names
Of streets were closer kin to the
streets and lanes themselves.
Then there are the shops and
restaurants of Georgetown which
I.think are not equaled anywhere
for individuality, charm and good
taste. Each Shop has an air all
it's own.
The wares displayed are care
fully chosen and reasonably
priced. Where else could one find
such. unusual and lovely things
but in Georgetown, a Town of big
names and small shops.

George Washington and Pierre

that "the Presidents House will
stand upon a rising ground not
far from the banks of the Poto-

James Hoben, a native of Dublin,
Ireland, was selected to be the
architect as result of compe-

A disease which has been a
serious threat to cattle in recent
years now is causing swine losses
in the midwestern hog belt the
American Foundation for Animal
Health said today,
Foundation officials reported
that laboratory tests proved de-
finitely that the disease, leptos-

disease organism has been isolated
in several cases Of swine abortion.
Leptospirosis may cause fever,
abortions, lose of appetite, jaun-
dice, ancmia, abnormal milk and
reduced milk flow in swine.
When leptospirosis is suspected,
the Foundation added, an accurate
diagnosis is needed to make sure
other types of infection are not
causing the losses.
Veterinarians report that treat
ment is successful in some in
stances. Control measures to pre-
vent further spread of the infec-
ton include immediate isolation

and burning or burial of all in
fected matter.
Sows which recover from the
disease apparently are immune to
further attacks, officials said, but
they may remain as carriers, fur
nishing a potential source of more
infection. Blood tests can be used
to detect infected or exposed ami
mails.
The Foundation also warned
farmers to make sure infected
hogs are kept from contact with
cattle herds, because the disease
may be transmitted from hogs to
cattle. 1t likewise presents a pub

disease may be transmitted to
