Senate Group Clears
First Of Money Bills
For Floor Action

The first of more than a dozen
annual money bills was cleared
for Senate action late yesterday
by its Appropriations Commit
tee.
In an unusual Saturday
closed-door session, the commit
tee approved 32,750,000 in
funds to operate the Treasury
and Post Office Departments for
the fiscal year that begins July /.
S5 Million Below Request.
Chairman Bridges said the
measure carried about a half
million dollars less than the
total voted by the House Febru-
ary 18. This was about $50 mil
lion less than Congress voted
last year and about $5 million
below President Eisenhower's
budget requests for fiscal 1855.
Under the Senate bill, slated
for floor action Wednesday or
Thursday, the Treasury Depart
ment would get $577,855, 800 to
operate during the next fiscal
year. This is exactly the amount
voted by the House.
The Senate committee recon-
mended about $2,755,O00,O 900 to
operate the vast Post Office De-
partment after cutting out about
$500,000 voted by the House.
Economy Moves Hit.

Police Say Prisoner Admits
Breok-ins Netting $4,000
Object Of Chase
For 5 Months Here
Is Arrested in Ohio

The solution of 40 Washing
ton housebreakings involving
$4,000 in loot was announced
by police today with the arrest
in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, of
an escapee from San Quentin,
Calf, who used planes for CITY,
to-city hopping.
Capt. Joseph w. Shimon, head
of the general assignment squad,
said Walter Irwin Joslin, 81, had
admitted leading Washington
police on a will-o'-the-wisp chase
for more than five months while
he entered dozens of homes.
One Of the thefts involved a
81 carat diamond ring valued
at $4,000, taken from the home
of Nathan Kluft, 1920 Northgate
road NV, on May 81, Capt.
Shimon said.
Joslin will be sent back to San
Quentin Prison from which he
escaped in April. He was serving
a five years to life sentence
for burglary in Los Angeles.
Washington police will file de-
tainer and seek an indictment
against him.
From late April until early
october police had tried every
possible method of trapping
Joslin. They put dozens of extra
men in the sixth and eighth pre-
cincts where he operated most
extensively. They even watched
the bus stops. because no car was
ever observed at the scene Of the

Soor Agreement Seen as Key

French Proposals to Adenouer Held

a major market in Germany for
French agricultural exports.

France in developing backward

ably by importing German capi-
tai and technical facilities to
North Africa.
African Arms Factories.
3. Common ornaments fac
tories in North Africa free from
controls that will be set up under
the Brussels treaty organization.
4. Eventual common exploita-
ton of certain foreign markets.
The double motive behind
these proposals are clear enough:
On the, one hand Mr.. MendeS-
France is promising to open up
bright new horizons for German
enterprise and industry in North
Africa. On the other, he is
making an obvious bid to tie the
sagging French economy to the
tail of the German kite.
Beyond this there is another
equally obvious motive-to soften
up German resistance to French
demands on the Saar and reduce
the immediate problem to a
perspective in which it appears
as simply one element of a
broader Franco-German settle
ment.
Typically Mr.. Mendes-France
up to now has been painting with
a broad brush. It remains for
the experts to fill in the details
between the rosy generalities and
define in specific language exact
ly what the French government
is suggesting.
Until this is done, it is i'm
possible to predict the reaction of
the Germans. At the moment the
attitude is distinctly reserved.
German delegates here are not
giving the impression of falling
over themselves to gobble the
bait. Instead Mr.. Adenauer has
sent a message back to Bonn
summoning leaders of major
political parties to talk over the
new turn of events. In the mean
time, an agreement even in
principle on the major points of
the Saar dispute seems no closer
than before.

PARIS. Oct. 20.-In the open
ing round of this decisive inter-
national gathering the French
have come up with a spectacular
gambit in hope of dislodging the
last major barrier to a general
Western European settlement.
AS ministers of IA nations as
semble in Paris, all authorities
are plugging a single theme: II
France and Germany can get
together on settlement of the
Saar problem, the success of the
conference is assured. This, it
now seems, Is the last big hur-
die to be crossed before a Sover-
eign and rearmed Republic of
Germany can take its place in
the community of free nations.
The French-German talks,
which started yesterday in the
seclusion of Celle Saint Cloud on
the outskirts of Paris, made it
clear that this hurdle will not
be crossed easily. It is now ad-
mitted officially that no final
Saar settlement can be reached
this week. The best hope is for
agreement in principle by the
week end. Today experts have
taken over at the point where
West German Chancellor Ade-
nauer and French Premier Men

this understanding must be re-
