BY Sterling Green
Assoeioted Press Sfoff Writer

President Eisenhower told the
World Bank and international

strike restrictions from free
world trade.
Gen. Eisenhower, who is on q
western tour. chose Secretary of
the Treasury Humphrey to read
his message to the opening ses-
sion of a joint six-day meeting of
the bank and fund governors at
the Mayflower Hotel.
Secretary Humphrey is attend
ing also in his capacity as United
States governor on the two ST.
nation institutions. And since
the governors are all financial
leaders from their countries, the
annual parley amounts virtually
to free world finance and trade
conference.
Mr.. Humphrey and the other
listed speakers today-Fund
Manager Ivar Rooth of Sweden
and Dutch Finance Minister
Johan Van de Kieft-all stressed
in their prepared remarks the
strengthening of national econo-
mics for convertibility, or free
exchange. of their currencies.
But none set a hard-and-fast
schedule for a return to free
convertibility and trade.
Mr.. Humphrey said that prob
ably the greatest contribution
the United States can make to
"expanding> and profitable inter-
national trade is healthy and
growing economy at a high level
of activity here in the United
States"
He said keeping economic ac-
tivity in this country at a high
level sis the keystone of our
policy"
Eisenhower's Message.
Gen. Eisenhower's message
said:
"The International Bank and
the International Monetary
Fund during the past year have
again demonstrated that they
are active and effective instru.
ments in promoting interna-
tional cooperation toward the
well-being of the free world.
"The United States heartily
approves the funds efforts te
free the monetary policies anc
currency convertibility. The
bank has notably aided the
member countries in the eco.
nomic development and hac
helped promote conditions under
which greater flow of private
investments can take place.

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.
Sept. 24.-The United States

New World Agency.
Developing the ideas set forth
in President Eisenhower's speech
to the u. N. last December, the
secretary called for:
l. Creation of an international
agency to include nations from
all regions of the world" Mr..
Dulles said it is hoped the
agency will start work "as early
as next year."
2. Holding Of an international
scientific conference under u. N.
auspices next spring to consider
the whole vast subject" of the
peaceful use of atomic power.
3. The opening in the United
States early next year of re-
actor training school where stu
dents from abroad may learn
the working principles of atomic
energy with specific regard to its
peacetime uses"
4. Invitations to a "substan-
tial number" of foreign medical
and surgical experts to work with
atomic energy techniques in
United States cancer hospitals.
Approval Expressed.
Mr.. Dulles proposals brought
immediate expressions of ap-
proval from many other U. N
members. Henry Cabot Lodge
jr., chief United States delegate,
called for a quick meeting of the
U. N. Steering Committee to put
the proposed plan on the AS

expenses and $40, 9,869,9 800 in new

Compared with congressional

fiscal year, the total requests for
fiscal 1856 amount to an in
crease of 1904 million.
The District Commissioners.
who have been conducting closed
hearing with the department
heads all week. doubtless will cut
this sum back substantially.
Despite major tax boosts put into
effect this year, revenues are still
far inadequate to meet such de-
mands. according to latest pub
lished predictions by finance and
budget officials.
Committed to Works.
On the other hand, the city
heads probably will exercise
some restraint in their pruning
operation. With the backing of
the community and the support
of Congress and the administra-
ton, they are practically bound
to proceed with their 10-year
public works improvement au-
thorized last May. regardless Of
the revenue picture.
! The commissioners dilemma
still boils down to the question
of how the partly obsolescent ia
cilities of the Nations Capital
can be revived when funds to
handle the whole job appear to
be lacking.
Budget officials have promised
to pinpoint the problem over the
week end. Whether they will
suggest any curatives-such as
Federal payment higher than
the $40 million appropriated this
fiscal year, or still bigger taxes,
which is probably the last thing
that would be suggested-re-
mains in doubt. Their best pro-
ferred solution in the past has
been to keep expenses down to
skeleton proportions.
Insistent Skeleton.
But the District skeleton keeps
rattling insistently for more flesh.
Capital outlay-new construc-
tion-demands released today
and yesterday show that all
agencies of District government
place their needs for fiscal 1856
at more than $9.1 million above
actual appropriations for the
current fiscal year.
More than Sc million of the
increase is public works pro-
grammed expenditures, the major
items in the capital outlay
budget. The remainder falls into
the minor capital outlay" cate
gory-those routine betterments
that occur anew year after year.
Highway Department, which
claims the biggest portion of the
1856 budget demands, wants
| $l4.6 million.
Other Needs.
Sewage disposal needs are
placed at $7.9 million.
The public school system, big
gest capital outlay fund con-
sumer in the general construc-
ton category, asks $7.9 million.
The water supply and distribu-
ton systems require $5.7 million,
according to estimates.
Among them, the Health. Cor
rectionS and Welfare Depart
ments figure their needs total
more than SO million.
| And while some excess fat can
be detected among the requested
flesh, many persuasive justifica-
tions are offered by the individual
agencies. Even the city budget
experts who labor day in and out
over the money figures privately
admit this year that the depart
ments showed relative restraint
in keeping their 1856 estimates
down to an average 10 per cent
increase over 1855 figures.

What's Cooking?

In his television address to the
nation Secretary Of State John
Foster Dulles declared on Monday
that the US would exhaust All
peaceful means of securing the re-
turn of the 13 Americans convicted
by the Red Chinese on fictitious
spy charges before undertaking a
naval and air blockade of Red China
which he termed a "war action"
On Wednesday, Mr.. Dulles an
nOunced the new mutual security
pact with Chang Kai-shek which.
ne said, clears up any uncertainty
about y. s. policy in Formosa and
the Pescadores Islands and gives
President Eisenhower new author
ity to keep the u. S. Seventh Fleet
m FOrmosa Strait. The Secretary
OF State also reafirmed that we in
tend to secure the return of the 13
imprisoned Americans, suggesting
that if diplomatic efforts failed.
naval blockade of the China
coast (as urged by Senate Majority
Leader William F. Knowland) might
be considered.
In discussing the new treaty. Mr.
Dulles said that if the Red Chinese
should attack Formosa or the Pes
cadores, the U. S. would retaliate
He thought a counter-attack on the
China mainland would be a prob
able move. But while on Monday he
considered a blockade to be a "war
action" he said on Wednesday that
actuaI invasion would not neces-
sarily lead to general war.
It is also interesting to learn
from London that Mr.. Dulles con-
suited with British leaders before
announcing the FormOsa treaty
and that it is the British hope that
the new pact will restrain Chang
kai-shek from any impetuous ac-
ton. Meantime, Britain has asked
the Red Chinese Charge d'Affaires
IN London to pass the word to
Peiping asking his country to play
nice and not get fouled up with the
over Formosa.
Whether this new pact with
Chang is for his benefit and ours.
remains to be seen. If it was MASTER
minded by our British cousins, it
could be move toward setting up
tormosa as a new nation, putting |
an end to Nationalist China, and |
seating Red China in her empty |
chair at the UN.
At this point in our weird and /
lumiliating Asian experiences, per- /
lans we can be forgiven for seeing
hings under the bed.

May Swap For UN Seat

Red China's imprisonment of IS
Americans as "spies" appears to
him as a deliberate attempt to goad
this country into action that would
divide the free world, President
Eisenhower told his weekly press
conference. He also said that a
blockade is an act in war, and
pledged himself to follow the Con-
stitution and go before the Congress
for authority before taking such ac-
tion.
Speaking of the UN, he said he
did not see how this body could
retain its self-respect If it did not
accept some responsibility in trying
to help free the prisoners.
Word from New York the same
day disclosed that our Ambassador
to the UN Henry Cabot Lodge. Jr.
had asked the IA allies who served
with us in the Korean War to de-
mand United Nations action in the
matter Of releasing the decidedly
unlucky 13.
But, since neither the U. S. nor
the UN has been able to free The
more than 500 American POW's still
neld by Red China in defiance of
the Korean Armistice, perhaps we
shouldn't be talking about self
respect.

Children and older persons are
most vulnerable as pedestrians. OF
the $500 pedestrians killed last
year about 1850 were under is

Most pedestrian victims are nom
drivers who do not understand the

ing' safety experts says. Elderly
men are most apt to be pedestrian
victims.
Early evening hours are especial
" hazardous for pedestrians. More
than a third of the victims were

These are told with the effect Of a
wonderful essay style, so that the old
text books one learned English history
from seem very far away, indeed, as
they ought.
Such work as this (Which may also
be purchased in cloth at higher price,

tain than ever that no invention based
on mechanics or electricity will ever
take the place of reading.
For the printing press, as wonderful
as it is, Is merely the means Of enabling
the reader to feel himself the owner of
the world and Of the seven stars and

and Plato's brain and Lord Christ's
heart and ShakeSpeare's strain. It is
interesting to note that Ralph Waldo
Emerson, whom some readers regard as
Americas greatest sage, spoke of these
great world figures not only as actors
on the worlds stage, but also and par
ticularly as writers. From Caesar we
have some of the greatest commentaries
on war: from Plato, the finest essays;
from Christ the worlds most inspira-
tional thoughts. and from Shakespeare,
great plays in English as it's peak. The
wonderful thing is that almost any good
book will create this strain of regard,
which is able to see in the writing even
more than the writer put in it. The

stand each other. What more wonder

Well Worth Trying

The District Commissioners have now
approved plan for handling the difficult ques-
tion OF revoking the licenses of drunken drivers
which, if it is not abused. should prove fair to
all concerned. In BRIEF the new plan provides
that licenses are not to be revoked until the
accused driver has been convicted or until he
has forfeited collateral, which is equivalent to
conviction.
This procedure would be abused if danger
Gus motorists, accused of drunken driving, were
able to continue to drive while staling of their
trials for long period of time. Traffic officials
have been in consultation with court officials
however, and they do not believe there is much
danger of this
There are those who feel that mere charge
of drunken driving should be sufficient basis
for revoking licenses pending trial. The diff
Guilty with this is that substantial number of
allegedly drunken drivers are acquitted when
brought to trial, and then, of course, their
licenses must be restored. Meanwhile, they have
not been able to drive and in some instances
jobs would be lost-a severe penalty to inflict
on an innocent man.
The new plan, if it works as expected, should
result in maximum of protection for both the
enormously accused motorists and the public.
Certainly, it is well worth trying.

chanical reader, who really should be
watching television. does not feel it.
The good reader, If such we may call
him, refuses to read when he is think
ing of something else. This is one of
the best services of good book, that it
has it's own way of relaxing. 1t even
can turn the tide of sorrow. but nor
mally is not called upon for such Serv-
ice: in most cases, reading is first re-
taxation, part of the mood, and then
inspiration. This inspiration need not
be at all in the grand manner. There
are many sorts of inspirations. some
little, some middling and others on
world scale. Most readers do not get
into such a mood more than a few times

itself after few pages.
