others took UP the chant for the

scaling the barbed-wire fences.
The spokesman said the guards
repeatedly warned the prisoners
to halt.
I'VE tried persuasion and they
would not listen," he said. "The
chaps continued to scale the
barbed wire. Our guards tried to
push and beat them back with
sticks but the whole lot of them
kept on coming.
First we fired one shot in
the air as a warning. That had
no effect so the guards fired six

The group is supposed to come
up with a preliminary report by

Approval of the study came
last night at a closed session of

as a permanent watchdog COM

law enforcement.

said, I'D like to have all the
help I can get. I frankly know
very little about the problem but
I am interested in it and want

He said he wanted to have a
meeting soon because of the
early deadline set by Commits
sioner Spencer. Asked if there
had been any indication whether
Juvenile Court Judge Edith H.
Cickrill would make case records
available for the study, he said
that question had not been
raised last night and it is one
of the issues he wants to discuss
with Commissioner Spencer.
Statistics Available.
The commissioner told report
ers after last nights meeting
that a ''lot of statistics" would
be available for the study. He
referred to the statistics of po-

reference to actual case records.
Although Police Chief Robert
V. Murray had said he would
make a formal request at the
council meeting for Juvenile
Court to give police the dispo-

said this request was not made.
Chief Murray said later, how

U. n. Takes Up Fight
With Russia Over
"A New Members
BY the Asseeioted Press

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Oct. 2.-Still waiting an answer
from Red China on arrange
ments for a Korean peace con-
ference, the United Nations
Assembly turned today to an
other major East-West sore
point-new members.
The Assembly Special Com
mittee, faced with new
Russian demand to admit IA
countries knocking at the U. N.
doors for years, set the opening
debate on the question for this
afternoon.
South Carolina's Gov. James
F. Byrnes, former United States
Secretary of State, was to handle
the issue in the committee for
the United States. He was ex-
pected to make his first speech
early next week.
q. S. Opposes Package"
United States sources said
Gov. Byrnes would support a
Peruvian proposal calling for a
three committee to seek
some way out of the member
ship deadlock. An American
spokesman said the committee
almost certainly would even
tually adopt the Peruvian reso-
luton, but acknowledged it
probably would not accomplish
much.
The United States is still dead
set against Russia'S package"
offer to withhold the Soviet veto
from nine countries backed by
the West if the United States
will rally a council majority in
favor of five Kremlin satellites.
Russia Has S Candidates.
The Russian candidates are
Albania, Outer Mongolia, Bull
garia, Romania and Hungary.
None has ever gotten the seven
Council votes necessary for
membership.
In exchange for their admis-
sions, Russia says she is willing
to accept Finland, Italy, Portu-
gal, Ireland, Jordan, Austria,
Ceylon. Nepal and Libya-all
Western backed candidates ap-
proved in the past by Council
majority but so far stymied by
the Kremlin'S veto.
On five other Western-backed
applicants, the Russians have
offered no compromise. They
are South Korea, Japan and
the three French-SpOnSored
Indo- Chinese states of Wet Nam,
Cambodia and Laos.

countries represented on the ave-
rage some % per cent of tn
respective gross national prod
ucts, while in 1850 and 1852 the
ratio was around 20 per cent.
This compares with 1851 ratio
for the United States of slightly
less than five per cent. T h
Scandinavian percentages, more
over, would be appreciably higher
if shipping earnings were in
cluded, especially for Norway and
Sweden.
Noting that there are important
variations in the economies of the
three countries, the analysis cites
their urgent need for imported
materials. This requires high
degree of world trade. In 1852 the
three Scandinavian countries,
with less than one per cent of the
worlds population, accounted for
about AS per cent of the worlds
imports and about four per cent
of it's exports. Overall, the study
points out, tn e three countries
have striven toward multilateral
trade and generally have low tar
ifs on imports. Denmark actual
ly has the lowest tariff rate in
the world, followed by Sweden.
Dollar restrictions, however, will
have to be maintained. there be-
ing no alternative as long as the
major trading currencies of t h
world remain inconvertible n d
direct dollar earnings fail to rise
appreciably.
