ISo Million More Allotted
To Aid Escapes From Reds
By the Asseeioied Pres.

President Eisenhower yester-
day authorized an additional
SO million expenditure by the
United States to aid escapes
from behind the Iron Curtain.
The money will help provide
temporary care and maintenance
of the refugees pending their
resettlement. 1t comes out of
Foreign Operations AdminiStra-
ton funds and is administered
by that agency.
The aid program began in the
spring Of 1852 in the Truman
administration. Previous au-
thorizations totaled $6.5 million.
It operates mostly in Western
Europe but refugees from Com
muniSt China also are aided.
A White House statement yes
terday said there are more than
$1,000 escapes in Western
Europe from Soviet Russia and
her satellites, most of them in
camps. In the last year and
half more than 5000 others
have been aided to useful re-
settlement, primarily in Canada,
Australia, South America and
the United States.

Chevy Chase Youth
Of II Accepted in
Military Ham Unit

A Bethesda Chevy Chase (Md.)
High School senior has become
the Nations first teen-ager to. be
accepted in the Military Affiliate
Radio System.
Charles B. Weaver, jr., II, of
425 Shepherd street, Chevy
Chase, son of a Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone CO. account
ant, participated in his first
MARS operation last Sunday.
The Defense Department re-
vealed the acceptance of the
Chevy Chase youth under a new
minimum age requirement which
lowered the non-military appli-
cant age from 81 to 16 years.
There are about $500 volun-
teer amateur radio stations par
ticipating in MARS training and
drills. The system is planned so
that individual stations can be
a1erted and integrated for official
or semf-official use in the initial
stages of any disaster or ener-
gency.
AS a member of MARS, young
Weaver will receive specialized
training in military radio COM
munications. From amateur ra-
dio station W3VAR, which he
operates from his bedroom at
home, he will participate in
scheduled radio net drills, the
first of which he took part in on
Sunday.
His supervisor will be Col. E.
S. Van Deusen, U. S. A. (retired)
MARS director for the State of
Maryland.
Charles holds general class
amateur radio license issued by
the Federal Communications
Commission. He is q member of
the Bethesda Electronics Club, the
American Radio Relay League,
the Capital Suburban Radio Club
and the Rock Greek Amateur
Radio Association.
He said his interest in "ham"
radio operations began more than
Evening star., 1953-12-09

a year ago through a neighbor,
Henry Vert who works at WNIAL-
TV, and operates a "ham" sta
ton.
He obtained his license a year
ago after working at odd jobs in
order to buy radio equipment
and build a transmitter.

An encouraging sign was the
manner in which the volume Of
business picked up a daily aver,
age of 1902, 900 shares, COM
pared with 1,414,000 last week.
Looking at the near-terms fu-
ture, selling to establish tax
losses is pretty much out Of the
way now. So that pressure is
minimized if not altogether re-
moved. Some persons feel that
selling to establish profits may
provide a stumbling block early
in the New Year because of the
anticipated lower personal tax
rates. But why sell Immediately
in a rising market to record
profits for tax purposes? There
is an old Wall Street adage-
"Cut your losses short and let
your profits rum"

Exchange were:

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-The
stock market returned to its old
buoyant ways this week and
thrust ahead in a decisive man
ner.
There were misgivings, Of
course, but the general direction
of the market most certainly was
upward.
All of the excitement was con-
centrated in a single day when
the market made one Of the best
advances in two months. It was
on Wednesday that the surge
started as a purely technical ges-
ture and every one rushed to
get in on good thing.
Strong leadership at that time
and resistance to subsequent
profit-taking encouraged the be-
lief that only a major Develop
ment, not now foreseeable, could
turn the direction of the market
away from the traditional year.

VIEWS
JACK K. BURKE

n I should tell you that your
children would not have any kind
of state recreation program dur
ing the coming summer months,
what would be your reaction? Pro-
badly the same as mine was the
other evening when Athletic Direc-
tor Win Jones told me about this.
1t seems that a committee made
up of citizens in the state capital
decided that the children could do
without a summer recreation pro-
gram, so they voted to give the
funds out in raises instead of pay
ing a physical education instructor
for three months.
Their idea is not very smart in
that some 800 children daily bene-
fit from this and also it keeps them
out of trouble. This could be dan
gerous, in the fact that a juvenile
problem could arise with so much
time on the hands and minds dur
ing the day.
For some unknown reason Jones
could not explain, this so-called ci-
tizens' committee thought they
were doing the small boys and
girls favor. But instead, they
have created a problem that must
be handled locally. and most pro-
badly without funds.

At Salary Cut

LOS ANGELES "a - The real
salary battle of the spring season
is just about to begin. 1t pits
Ralph Kiner, the home run slugger
of the Pittsburgh Pirates, against
basebaIl's David Harum, the cru
dite Branch Hickey. ~
The Pittsburgh executive has
asked Kiner to take a Is per cent
cut--all that baseball law allows
from his $50, 900 salary of last sea-
son. Hickey sent his son, Branch
Jr., out here in advance to break
the news to Kiner and see what
could be done.
Apparently Kiner made it plain
he was willing to take a modest
cut--say 10 per cent--but he was
emphatic in saying he wasn't
ready for Is per cent slash that
would reduce his salary to. s67 500.
There is temporary stalemate
In the negotiations. Hickey has
tried to peddle Kiner to other
clubs. but he wants young players
who can help the club he is lining
up for his new manager, Fred
Haney, who bossed Hollywood In
the Pacific Coast League for sew
eral years.
I'VE aren't exactly trying to
deal Kiner," said Hickey, as he
attended q testimonial dinner for
Haney last night. Some other
clubs are trying TO get him. -Four
or five clubs have made us propo-
sitions II il was cash we wanted.
the deal would have been COM
pleted some time ago.

Pirates would be helped by the
addition Of ether players. BY that
4 mean more and better players
than we have been offered 50 far. |"
