Brazil Export Change
May Cut Coffee Price
By the Assoeio,ed Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. IA.
Brazil announced tonight a
change in it's export policy by
granting exporters permission
to sell 20 per cent of all their
foreign exchange earnings on
the free money market. The
measure may mean cheaper
Brazilian coffee to the United
States.
Since October 10, 1853 ex-
porters have had to turn all
their foreign exchange over to
the government.
Finance Minister Oswal d o
Aranha said the modification.
to be applied starting Monday.
would enable Brazilian products
to compete on more favorable
terms in world markets and
should result in a "perpendic-
ular" fall in coffee prices.
Declining coffee sales, one OF
Brazil's chief exports. have
caused a dollar shortage here.
A minimum price of 81 cents a
pound on coffee exports for the
current market year has re-
suited in a decline in sales
abroad.
The minimum price was raised
from SO cents on June 2.

Murray Pushes Plan
To Train High School
Boys as 'PoIiceAides'
Chief to Seek Funds
To Launch Program
With 50 Apprentices
By Miriom Gutenberg

The Police Department wants
to start training Washington
high school boys for eventual
careers on the force-and will
ask funds in the upcoming
budget estimates to launch the
new program with SO apprentices.
Police Chief Robert v, Muir
ray said last night he has the
tentative approval of Commits
sioner Spencer to go ahead with
his proposed police aide" pro-
gram.
Under this program. one or
two 18-year-old boys would be
selected on a competitive basis
from each high school as they
graduate. Once they pass writ
ten and physical examinations.
they would be given a short
course on police organization.
Then, they would go to work
in the detective squads. traffic
division, communications and
notwithstanding police pro-
cedure on the job from veteran
officers. They also would be
assigned to the precincts for in
side work, processing the cases
through the station house.
At the age of 81, if they are
approved by commanding Off
GERS along the line and want to
be full-fledged policemen. they
would be eligible to go into
uniform.
Advantages Outlined.
Chief Murray said the plan
had these major advantages:
!. It would enable the depart
ment to get youths at the time
they embark on their working
careers. He explained that
youths not going to college have
been working three years by
the time they reach the mini
mum police age of 81 years an
it's difficult to persuade them to
change jobs at that time.
2. Veteran police now working
in inside" jobs could be re-
placed by the young civilians,
thereby strengthening the force
on the streets. Chief Murray
has been waging a campaign
with the personnel Office for
months to get more men re-
leased for street duty.
3. It would give the depart
ment younger men and conse-
quently more years of active
duty per man. The average age

Farm Bill Conferees
Stymied by Dispute
On Dairy Price Props
Will Make Fresh Stort
After Houses Refusal
To Accept Senate Terms
By the Associated Press


Senate House conferees on the
administration farm bill failed
to break a deadlock last night
but finally agreed-after threat
ened breakoff by the House
to another try at compromise
tomorrow.
Efforts to agree on a dairy
price support program erupted
in a break up of negotiations
at one point. with Chairman
Hope Of the House Agriculture
Committee declaring the issue
could no longer be threshed out
by the group.
Mr.. Hope said the House mem
bers probably would ask instruc-
tions from the full House tomor-
row on the disputed points.
will Make New Start.
Chairman Aiken of the Senate
Agriculture Committee confirmed
the deadlock and said this les
sens the changes for any farm
bill this session." The group has
held six sessions over the last
three days.
But later, after q. private
huddle between the two 1awmak-
ers and others in the conference
group, Mr.. Hope announced the
conferees would take another
crack tomorrow morning at IRON
ing out remaining differences be-
tween Senate and House-pasSed
versions.
Tentative Agreements.
Before the flare-up over dairy
supports the joint committee
yesterday reached tentative
agreements - which Senator
Aiken said were at least tempo
rarily washed out by the dairy
deadlock-on these points in dis
pute:
1. n UWO"PI1CC WlACaV oyoCCAA
voted by the House was rejected
The provision would have set up
high Government support prices
for wheat used inside the country
while exported wheat would be
left to seek it's level at the world
market rate. The plan was op-
posed by President Eisenhower
and not carried in the Senate
bill.
2. A Senate provision for a
new system of management OF
the public lands controlled by
the United States Forest Service
was thrown out. Gen. Eisen-
hover had asked that it be re-
tanned, but it was not in the
House bill.
3. A program for helping the
tagging domestic wool industry
was worked out. Both Senate
and House had backed somewhat
differing wool provisions, and
Senator Aiken said the compro-
mise generally followed the lines

n. Y. Firm Bids
ForWashington
Loan and Trust
Holds Control Over
Union Trust, Seeks
Merger Of Two

The New York holding COM
pany which already owns con-
trolling interest in the Union
Trust Co. here. has moved to ac-
quire control of the Washington
Loan and Trust Co., with event.
ual merger of the two trust COM
panies in mind.
Washington Loan, whose presi-
dent is Alfred H. Lawson, is one
Of the Capitals old line banking
institutions. Union Trust, now
headed by Linwood P. Harrell.
was acquired by the holding
company in 1916. 1t was merged
with the Citizens Bank the fol-
lowing year..
Equity Corp. of New York, The
Star learned, is making the bid
for control of Washington Loan
through the Washington brok-
erage firm of Goodwin g. Olds.
Offers $3.50 Per Share.
Letters reciting the offer were
mailed yesterday to Washington
Loan and Trust Co. stockholders.
Under the offer, Equity agrees
to pay $3.50 per share for all
Washington Loan stock offered
provided 40,500 of Washington
Loans 100000 outstanding shares
shall have been deposited with
the Union Trust Co. on or before
2 pm. September s. 1854.
Book value of Washington
Loan stock is reported to be
slightly in excess of $5l. Sales
prices of the stock for the years
1953-54 ranged between $42
and $38. Closing price Thursday
on the Washington Branch of
the Philadelphia : B altim ore
Stock Exchange was SAB, but
rose to $45 Friday, presumably
rejecting rumors of the Equity
Corp. offer.
Equity already has purchased
$500 shares of Washington Loan
from James O'Donnell, formerly
of Washington and now of New
port, r. l., which together with
the minimum of 40,500 shares
it hopes now to acquire would
give Equity so per cent owner
ship Of Washington Loan.
Mr.. O'Donnell, it was learned,
received $50 a share under an
agreement which guarantees him
any additional price received by
other stockholders.
Stockholders Must Act.
1t is Equity's intention, it was
learned, to seek merger Of
Union Trust and Washington
! Loan, a move that would have
to be ratified by two thirds Of
the stockholders of each trust
company.
It is understood legislation by
Congress also would be needed
to effectuate the merger of the
two trust companies since they
do not come under statutes for
State and National banks which
do contain permissive language.
For this reason the Equity
offer, at this time, is surprising
to some financial circles. It
suggests the New York group
may be trying to head off one
or more other prospective pur-
chasers of Washington Loan. It
recalls rumors earlier this sum-
Kner that the Riggs Bank was
interested.
Disclosure of the Equity offer
came on the Capitals financial
scene as the United Mine Work.

it's merger with the Hamilton
