Arlington Drops
'Drunkometer' Test
In DRIVING Cases

Arlington police have aban-
doned use of a "drunkometer"
in prosecuting cases of driving
while intoxicated after about two
years of use. a member of the
department said today.
A police official said use of
the device is impractical because
judges require testimony of a
medical expert" in each case
where this type of evidence is
submitted. Police have difficulty
in getting physicians to spend
their time in court in such cases.
1t was said.
The "drunkometer" test in
wolves the suspect blowing his
breath into a balloon. The breath,
thus captured, is then expelled
through a device containing
chemicals and the reaction is
supposed to establish the degree
of intoxicatioh.

Generalissimo Francisco Franco
yesterday warned the West it is
failing to take advantage Of the
deep crisis" gripping Soviet

broadcast Gen. Franco said 1T
is strange the West does not
recognize the favorable situation
presented by the death Of Stain
and the subsequent elimination
Of the powerful minister Of So
Wet terror lpolice boss Lavrenti
Beria)."
I The deaths Of Stain and
Beria." he declared, created a
deep crisis In the Muscovite adj
ministration from which it will
take some time to recover. !"
THE force of communism has
been tremendously weakened and
compels the Soviets to a policy
Of appeasement." the Spanish
Chief Of State declared. THAT
policy offers them time to solve
their crisis" IL they can avoid a
united front in the West.
Referring to President Eisen-
hover, Gen. Franco expressed
hope that "the outstanding gen.
eral at the head of the most
powerful nation of the West
would show the way to winning
the battles Of peace"
He added that such a leader
would not permit disunity in the
cold war which is "a prelude to
the hot war;"

Nam Head Doubts
Business Recession

Harold c. Mcclellan, president
OF the National Association of
Manufacturers, today disagreed
with economists predictions OF
a 1854 recession and said
prospects are even brighter than
in the past.
Il doubt that we will have a
recession" he said. I'VE NAV
have some business adjustments
as we have had in the past few
years. But the outlook is much
brighter with the leveling off of
the cost of living and a steadier
dollar.
If we are resourceful and
courageous and demonstrate the
abilities we have shown in the
past, we should move forward.
On the whole, I believe we can
all continue to raise our living
standards in 1854"

Eisenhower Words
Recalled by IVA in
Citing Responsibility
BY the Associated Pres.

The billion-dollar Tennessee
Valley Authority. a Roosevelt
administration project some-
times attacked as socialistic, app
parently is trying to convince
President Eisenhower that it
lines up with his belief in greater
State and local responsibility.
This was interpreted as a bid
for approval by President Eisen-
hover. who once cited the giant
power, flood control and con-
servation project as an example
Of creeping socialism
In effect. the agency read back
to Gen. Eisenhower his own
words at a news conference last
June II. The President said on
that occasion that he wants local
people to have a greater say in
any future projects like iva.
The reports emphasis was on
"a strong, growing partnership"
with other Federal agencies,
States, counties. cities, co-opera-
tives. private enterprise and in
dividuals.
Repeatedly. the report men
toned aid iva has given to pri-
vate business. farmers and ma
tional defense.
Twas foes have accused it of
competing unfairly with tax-pay-
ing private enterprise. It's de-
tenders, on the other hand, have
used it as an example of the
= Government helping the people
in a way they cannot help them
selves.
Through citing iva as creep
ing socialism" Gen. Eisenhower
has said since his election he is
not planning to discontinue it as

the defense of peace against all
attempts to violate it.
@. Do you hope that the new
year will be marked by strength
ening of the bonds of friend
ship between the peoples OF
America and Russia?
A. First of all it is necessary
to desire improvement Of rela-
tions between our countries. I
consider that there are no in
trinsic barriers preventing that
in the new year relations be-
tween the Soviet Union and the
United States shall not be i'm
proved and that traditional
bonds of friendship between our
countries should not be strength
ened and I hope that it will
do so.
Sees Favorable Opportunities.
@. How do you evaluate the
possibilities of maintaining world
peace and lessening interna-
tional tension in 1854?
A. All peoples are eager for
lasting peace and there are
favorable opportunities to fur
Their weaken international ten
sion in 1854. Governments. pri-
marily the governments of the
great powers, cannot but fail to
heed the voices of the peoples
and reckon with their growing
desire for the lasting peace
urged by the Soviet government.
which has done and is doing
and shall continue to do every
thing toward enabling the peo-
pie to live in peace and toward
relaxing international tension
and toward establishing normal
relations between states.
@. What do you consider the
most important step which could
be undertaken in the interests
OF peace throughout the world
in 1854?
A. Such a step would be the
conclusion of an agreement be-
tween the States under the form
of which participants in the
agreement would take upon
themselves the solemn and I'M
conditional obligation not to en-
ploy atomic, hydrogen and other
weapons of mass destruction.
Such an agreement would IA
cilitate the possibility of reach
ing an agreement of the COM
plete banning of atomic weapons
and of the establishment of
strict international control for
implementing of the banning of
employment of atomic energy for
military purposes.
At the same time the Soviet
government would consider it
necessary to reach An agreement
on a considerable reduction of
all other types of ornaments and
Of armed forces. All this un-
doubtedly would decrease ex-
penditures for military purposes
and would improve the economic
position Of the population OF
the world.

The Russian approach is the

a peace conference to be

they want the West and East

This is unacceptable to the
West. on the main ground that
it would be mockery for the
Soviet puppet regime in East

pressing the wishes of Germans
living in the Red zone.
