In more than a dozen workshops,
supervised by skilled craftsmen,
the aged use their hands and de-
velop skills. The total number OF
old people there who are engaged
in work is today nearly 500.
THE TRADES INCLUDE tailor
ing and knitting, plastics and car
pentry, fine mechanics and basket
making, spinning and tinsmithing.
The aged work not for money,
but for the pleasure of it, and In
order to maintain their self-re-
spect. They receive only five Is
rael pounds a month for their eff
forts, and even those who do not
or cannot labor receive a bit OF
pocket money from the financially
hard-pressed Jewish Agency, which
is a beneficiary of the United Jew
ish Appeal.
For many of the aged, it is not
easy to rouse themselves to such
efforts. Two-thirds of the residents
of Neve Avoth are Rumanians who
came to Israel with the expecta-
ton that their children would fol-
low. But that hope was crushed
by Rumania's regime, and they
can look forward only to a life
without their families around
them.
Though they may be bent by
the weight of many years, they
continue to work. They usually
work four hours daily. Among
those who flock to the workshops
are 80 men and women over 81

Turk Papers
ScoId Arabs

ISTANBUL, (JTA)-A large sec
ton of the Turkish press has
voiced disapproval of the Arab
countries policy against Israel and
has expressed fear that this cam
paign will further put off the pros
poets of peace and security in the
Middle East, with which Turkey is
deeply concerned.
Although the Turkish press dis
approves of the recent Israeli acts
of retaliation, it has noted that the
Arab states are to blame for the
present state of tension which has
produced these acts. 1t has been
pointed out by independent news
papers, pro-government and oppo-
Sition press that Israel has made
number of attempts to end the
trouble in the Middle East and to
bring about a stable peace. The
general opinion expressed by Turk
ish press and political circles is
that both sides should be willing
now to accept compromises in or
der to end the problem.
Peace Tries Cited
The Semi-official "Zafer" noted
that Israel cannot be held RESPONSE
BILE alone for the recent border
incidents, pointing out Israeli at
tempts to conclude peace. The pro-
government "Milliyet" predicted
that the Arabs would not succeed
in their campaign of destroying
Israel by economic and political
pressure, by prolonging "the alb
normal status Of armistice" and by
creating trouble on IsraePs from
tiers.

treaty-making powers, to defeat
the substitute.
The Bricker amendment con-
stitutes the first direct major
challenge to President Eisen-
hover and his leadership in the
new session of Congress. Unless
the differences are ironed out,
defeat of the Bricker amend
ment could lead to a serious Re-

might affect the congressional

Democrats Consulted.
Another political repercussion,
in the event the Bricker amend
ment is killed outright and no
substitute is adopted. is likely to
be a claim by the Democrats
that Gen Eisenhower and the
country have again been saved"
not by the Republicans, but by
the Democrats.
Senator Knowland made it
clear yesterday that he is con-
ferring with Democrats in trying
ito find an acceptable substitute.
He told reporters that obviously
Democratic votes would be
needed, if a substitute is to be
adopted.
Senator Knowland was I'M
willing to reveal the language
and provisions of the latest sub
Stitute. He said he may be able
to make statement en- it after
a White House conference to-
morrow morning between the
President and Republican con-
greSsional leaders. He indicated,
however. that much would de-
pend on the results of the week.

Bricker.
(Which Clause" Is Key?
Senator Knowland predicted
that many of the Senators who
sponsored the original Bricker
proposal would not go along with
the Ohio Senator if he continued
to insist that the which clause"
be retained. This clause states:
"A treaty shall become effective
as internal law in the United
States only through legislation
which would be valid in the alb
sence of treaty" The President
has said-and constitutional
lawyers have backed him up
that this clause would give the
States the right to repudiate
treaties properly negotiated and
ratified by the Senate.
"A great many of the Sena-
tors who signed the resolution,
Senator Knowland said, "are not
welded word for word to the
measure which a majority of
the Judiciary Committee report
ed out. I think great many
Senators still feel that a con-
stitutional amendment is in or
der, but are hopeful that an
agreement can be reached be-
tween the administration and

Two Democratic Congress
members yesterday criticized the
spending of Federal funds to re-
pair a Government-owned cot

Agriculture Benson, but third
Democrat said it was a good idea.
The cottage. unused before its
repair. is located on an Agricul-
ture Department research farm
at what formerly was the Army's
Remount Station near Front
Royal. Va.
Secretary Benson said it's re-
pair was largely matter of
preserving a piece of property
that otherwise was going to de-
cay" He said it is to be used as
a guest cottage, for which he and
other users will pay rent.
But Representative Karsten,

that "the taxpayers should not
be billed for this" said he
planned to inspect the cottage.

view.

Gen. Dean Expresses
Sympathy for Dickinson
By the Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Jan. %
Maj. Gen. William F. Dean, who
was a Communist captive in Ko-
rea for three years, said today
he has the utmost sympathy for
Corpl. Edward S. Dickinson,
former prisoner, who was ar
rested last night in Washington
on court martial charges.
Gen. Dean, addressing a serv-

pathetic toward the 81 POWs

'Dickenson has my utmost
sympathy" he added, but I
know the Army must have justi-

one of the 81 Senators who
sponsored the original Bricker
amendment resolution. The
which clause" to which much
objection has been raised, was
not in the resolution as offered
by Senator Bricker. 1t was an
amendment, sponsored by Sena-
tor Watkins, Utah Republican.
and written into the resolution
by the Judiciary Committee.
Knowland Defends President.
In a letter addressed to all his
senatorial colleagues Friday.
Senator Bricker questioned the
propriety of the Presidents &C
tivlty against the proposed con-
stitutional amendment. He also
accused the President 'of hav-
ing given wide circulation to
erroneous charges" in regard
to the effect of the Bricker
amendment. The President. Sem
ator Bricker said. had been
"misinformed." He did not name
the Presidents informants.
Senator Knowland defended
the Presidents right to oppose
the Bricker amendment and
indicated clearly that Gen.
Eisenhower was ready to speak
out to the American people in
search of public support of his
attitude.
When Senator Bricker intro
duced his resolution to amend
the Constitution in January a
year ago. 1t bore. in addition to
his own. the names of A. other
Republican Senators and 10
Democratic Senators-two-thirds
of the entire membership of the
Senate and the total necessary

amendment II all Senators were
present and voting.
Changes in Lineup.
Three Republican Senators
did not place their names on the
resolution-Senators Wiley of
Wisconsin. Millikin of Colorado
and Cooper of Kentucky. Twen-
ty-eight Democrats were not
sponsors of the amendment.
Three of the Senator's who
signed have since died and been
replaced-two Republicans, Sem
ators Taft of Ohio and Tobey of
New Hampshire. and one Demo-
crat, Senator Willis Smith of
North Carolina. The new Sem
ators have not stated their final
position on the Bricker proposal,
but one of them at least is be-
lieved to be against it in it's
present form.
OF the 43 Republican Sena-
tors whose names still remain on
the Bricker resolution, it was
said yesterday by one Republican
Senator that at least a dozen
would not go along with the
amendment as it now stands.
Estimates of Democratic oppo-
sltion to the amendment, includ-
ing Democrats whose names ap-
pear as sponsors. run as high as
30.
To Seek Prompt Action.
Senator KnoWland said he will
seek as prompt action as possible
on the proposal. The debate will
follow the Korean mutual aid
treaty, which is expected to be
taken up in the Senate tomorrow.

Farmers Favor Plan
For u. 5. Milk Aid Al
100 Per Cent Of Parity
BY the Assoeioied Press

MADISON, Wis. Jan. %
Nearly 1000 farmers from "a
States shouted their approval to-
day of a proposed program for
Federal support of milk and milk
product prices at 100 per cent Of
parity with production payments

The program was reconE-
mended by an 18-member COM
mittee at the closing session of a
two-day conference sponsored by
the Farmers Union and adopted
without audible dissent in the
voice vote.
Want Official Decision.
It demanded that Secretary
of Agriculture Benson announce
now his official and definite de-
cision respecting renewal of the
present price support program
scheduled to expire in April.
The present program calls for
price supports at 80 per cent of
parity.
It also expressed opposition to
any sliding scale or flexible price
support levels for any farm COM
modify and proposed that parity
prices for milk vary in different
parts of the country to reflect
the economic balance.
The committees recommends
tions follow many of the pro-
posals in the Brannan plan for
agriculture, named after Charles
Brannan, former Secretary of
Agriculture under the Truman
administration. It also is in line
with the stand of the Farmers
Union at its convention in Dali
las in 1852.
