Economic Recovery
|Cufs West German
Need for u. ). Aid
By the Associoied Press

BONN, Germany. Jan. s.
Because of its spectacular eco
nomic recovery. West Germany
may need little If any direct
dollar aid this year, United
States sources said today.
This is good news for Presi-
dent-elect Eisenhower's plan
ners who are surveying the
continuance Of Americas for
eign aid program.
An exception is made for Rus
sian-surrounded West Berlin.
which has not kept pace with
Western recovery and which will
require United States financial
aid indefinitely.
No Abrupt End Intended.
American sources said there
was no intention Of cutting off
aid to the federal republic to-
tally and abruptly. But direct
aid has already been declining
and a point has been reached
where new methods can be con-
sidered. The aim will be to
keep the German economic ma
chine going at its present high
clip.
1t is also planned to extend
substantial aid when the Ger
mans start rearming In the West
ern defense system. Until then.
it is believed, West Germany can
stand on its own feet because its
economy is considered the sound
est in Europe, after Belgium and
Switzerland.
When the Germans Join the
Western defense setup they will
receive arms assistance from the
United States. This already has
been promised.
Employment at ALI Time High.
The United States has poured
$3h billion into West Germany
since 1945 to help this defeated
country. This. $1,374, ,000, 900
was handled by the Economic
Cooperation Administration and
the Mutual Security Agency
since 1948.
West German industrial pro-
duction is operating at q post
war peak 167 per cent of tho
1896 level. Employment is at
an all-time high. There Is q
foreign trade surplus and the
future looks bright.

The agent at the Baltimore &
Ohio's station at Takoma Park,
Md. probably is the first one
on the system who took the job
only after envisioning the place
with a woman's touch.
Time and. a lot of fast, CRIME
producing trains have passed
that typical turn-of- the-century
railroad edifice.
Even at yard-approaching
speed, it seemed to blend right
into the landscape, and COM
muters using it have been just
numerous enough to keep the
platform scuffed.
Things have changed.
There Was . Christmas Party.
Best Recommendation of the
transition might be the COM
muters' pre-Christmas party at
the station, for which the agent
scrubbed the place down, car
ried the coal, baked the CHINA
mon rolls, made the cocoa and
put up the tree.
The agent is Mrs. E. S. Hitler
man. a pleasant woman teleg-
rapher who can almost leave her
smile like a stamp on the vol
umes Of freight reports she has
to make out.
Mrs. Hillerman, mother Of an
18-year-old son now in the Uni
versity Of Michigan, operates
what the railroad calls a "one-
man station"
In other words. she handles
the Notwithstanding office,
keeps books on the kind of cars,
the number, the contents, the
consignees and the charges. if
any. This entails visits to five
or more consignees down the
tracks every time a freight car
rolls into Takoma Park for them.
She Operates Tower.
She has no more telegraphic
duties, although she is a tele-
graph veteran of 13 railroads

DuMont Fights Plan
To Merge ABC and
Paramount Theaters

Opposition to the proposed
merger of United Paramount
Theaters, Inc, and the American
Broadcasting Co. was heard to-
day by the Federal Communica-
tions Commission, with all mem
bers participating.
The merger was opposed by
the commissions Broadcast Bu-
reau, although Examiner Leo
Resnick favored it, following ex-
tensive hearings.
Sees More Competition.
Attorney William A. Roberts,
representing Allen B. DuMont
Laboratories, Inc, told the COM
mission that Paramount might
use its power to purchase facili-
ties. particularly against Du-
Mont. He described DuMont as
the smallest of the three major
networks, after the Columbia
Broadcasting System and the
NaClonal BrOadcaStlng Co.
Paramount Theaters, which is
seeking to merge with ABC is q
separate corporation from Para
mount Pictures which owns an
interest in the DuMont CO.
The merger, Mr.. Roberts con-
tended, poses danger to free
broadcasting.
DuMont Role Praised.
Mr.. Roberts told the commits
sion that the examiner found
that DuMont has done a good
job, is not controlled by Para
mount Pictures and is operated
in the public interest.
Frederick Ford, chief of the
Hearing Division, Broadcast Bu-
reau, FEC, declared that COM
petition can never reach its
maximum potential if the the
aters and television are per-
mitted in the same group. He
contended there is no proof the
proposed merger is in the public
interest. He added that he can
see no reason to rush the merger.
MIR. Ford asserted that the
commission must consider the
effects Of the merger. He said
the commission must know what
is going to happen to theater
television, "pay-as-you-see" tele-
vision, and other aspects Of the
industry.

Higher Pay Asked
In Reforms Needed
BY New Congress
By J. A. oLeory

Members of Congress should
be better paid, better equipped
to handle the Federal budget and
should overhaul its rules to ex-
pedite legislation in both houses,
in the opinion of the National
Committee For Strengthening
Congress.
In a letter to all members of
the new Congress, Robert Heller
of Cleveland, chairman Of the
committee, called for new Con-
gressional Reorganization Act to
replace the LaFollette- Monroney
Act Of 1916.
The present pay of Senators
and representatives is $12,500 of
base pay and a $2,500 expense
allowance. The expense allow
ance is no longer tax exempt.
but the current Legislative Ap-
preparation Act provides that for
the next two years members
may deduct not to exceed $4,000
for income tax purposes for liv-
ing expenses while away from
their home districts.
Urges Commission.
Mr.. Heller said members of
Congress should be paid enough
to make outside income unneces-
sary. He recommended appoint
ment of a commission composed
of Bernard Baruch, Herbert
Hoover and Adlai Stevenson to
agree upon adequate compensa-
ton for the Senate and House
He suggested this course as a
recognition of the reluctance of
members of Congress to vote
themselves a pay increase.
Other legislative reform recon-
mended in the Heller report are:
That Congress install voting
machines to save time. especially
in the House.
That the Senate eliminate the
filibuster and require that de-
bate be relevant to the pending
subject.
That the House restore the
so-called "21-day rule" to pre-
vent the Rules Committee from
delaying bills for more than
three weeks.
That Congress abandon the
seniority system by which men,
bers move up automatically to
committee chairmanShips.
Asks Home Rule for ID. C.
The report also recommends
that Congress grant home rule
to the District of Columbia tc
avoid serving as the Districts
city council.
Mr.. Heller and his associates
stress the need for adequate con-
troll over spending and taxes al
a problem that should be given
first attention. Such control will
not be exercised until Congress
is properly organized and stated
the report said.
Mr.. Heller's group indorses the
proposed Joint Budget Commit
tee, which passed the Senate last
year but was killed in the House
This joint group. the letter sug-
gests, could take an overall looh
at the budget and keep in con.
stant contact with the Appro-
priation and taxing committees.
Although the Heller letter does
not make a specific recommended
ton on the salary increase that
should be granted members OF
Congress. it points out that il
present salaries and expense
allowances were doubled, the in
crease would amount to only 81
for every $4,000 spent by the
Federal government.

to a young home

TALKING to a young home
Il maker recently, we were
told she used $50 quarts of
fluid milk a month. To us, this
seemed a staggering amount
for one family. But with five
children and two adults, it
develops into a matter Of
simple arithmetic. At that it
doesn't quite provide for the
recommended quart-a-day for
children and a pint for
grownups.
1T would help my food
budget a lot if I only knew
more about the use of nom
fat dry milk she said. It
set us thinking. Perhaps
recipes showing the use Of
this economical protein food
would appeal to more people
like our young friend.
Here they are: A creamy
coconut pie, a hearty fish
choWder, a biscuit-topped
chicken pie and a variation
of the familiar cuStard.
Non fat dry milk contains
all the protein, calcium, phos-
phorouS, lactose and ribo-
flavin of fresh whole milk;
only the fat and water have
been removed. 1t has many
advantages plus low cost. 1t
