The Ambassador Of Pakistan
and Begun Ali invited the more
than 100 women attending the

The ladies from all parts of
the United States got a tour Of
the beautifully decorated EN-
bassy, talked fashion with Be-
gum Ali, and were treated to an
impromtu speech by the Ambas-
sador. The speech gave them
an even greater political insight
into the China -Burma-In
theater Of operations to which
their husbands had once been
assigned.
Not all the guests presents were
wives of Obi Veterans. Several
present were veterans themselves
having been nurses stationed
with the Army or. Red Cross in
that particular area.
The Ambassadors talk pointed
out that since the time their
husbands and in the case of the
nurses, they themselves. had
been in that part of the world q
great deal of change had taken
r11aon in tho EoSt
Five countries had gained their

that the greatest single event of

concerned was the advent Of

lies in collective security and that

getting together to protect their

When India recently denied
permission for American planes
bound for Indo-C China to fly over

said this country should cut of

misguided persons in public

sen, "they feed neutral nations
suspicion Of our motives and feed
the Communists propaganda

such a short-sighted and narrow
view, then the false Communist
charges against us would be true.

been discarded.

sidered would have offered sur
plus butter at one cent a pound
to shoppers who also bought
one pound of newly produced
butter at current retail prices.
Sees Ideas Too Expensive.
Mr.. Benson told a news con-
ference that all the suggested
plans would be too expensive
and wouldn't cure the problem
Of future surplus butter pro-
duction. He estimated that any
Of the rejected proposals would
have cost the Government at
least half a billion dollars.
Other plans discarded by
Secretary Benson included the
offering Of the surplus along
with the currently-produced
butter at q blended" or average
price much lower than present
retail prices, and the use OF
Government subsidy payments
to producers.
The secretary had indicated
in testimony before the House
Agriculture Committee recently
that he believed the one-cent
and blended price plans were
| impractical. This was the first
time that he had thrown cold
water on the production pay
ment plan.
The latter plan, which Mr..
Benson outlined before the House
committee without recon-
mendation, would permit butter
prices in retail markets to drop
to levels determined by supply
and demand. The Government
would make payments to plants
| to enable them to pay dairymen
specified support prices for milk
and butterfat. This plan is SINH
lar to a payment provision Of a
controversial farm program ad-
vanced in 1949 by former Secre-
tary Brannan, but rejected by
Congress.
No Sales Abroad.
The secretary said yesterday
no sales of surplus butter have
been made abroad since the de-
partment offered its surpluses
for export at world prices two
weeks ago. These prices are
from is to Is cents a pound be-
low those in this country.
Mr.. Benson declared, however
that the surplus butter will not
be allowed to spoil. AS last re-
sort it can be converted, he said
into butter oil and kept for lonS
time. Butter oil is used in foos
processing.

Judge 10 Consider
License Renewal Of
Insurance Firm

Federal Judge Charles r. Nc
Laughlin today is expected to
take under advisement the ques-
ton Of issuing a license to the
Shenandoah Life Insurance Co.
of Roanoke, Va.
The District government last
April refused to renew the IL
cense on the ground that GER
tain requirements regarding issu-
ance of group insurance were
not met.
The company has underwritten
the group insurance policies Of
about 125,O00 Government and
District employees through bene-
ficial associations to which the
employees belong.
The company brought court
action to force renewal of the
license. This is opposed by the
District government, which has
asked judgment in its favor.
Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Milton D. Norman said the
policies underwritten by Shen-
andoah do not meet legal re-
quirements in that they are
written as group insurance for
fewer than rs per cent of the
entire number of eligible en-
ployes in each agency affected.
Counsel for the insurance
company interpreted the per
cent requirement as applying
only to the membership of the
beneficial associations and not to
the entire list of employees.
The case is being argued in
the U. S. District Court for the
District of Columbia.

For Broken Fasteners
BY The Assecicsed Press

DETROIT, Dec. 10.-Alec Har-
rison earns q living from other
peoples impatience. When slide
fasteners get stuck, he fixes them.
For years. says Mr.. Harrison,
inventors have been turning out
so-called ''foolproof" fasteners
guaranteed to work under the
most trying conditions. But his
business continues to thrive year
after year. MFR. Harrison can be
sure that plenty of customers
will walk in with a desperate
look on their faces and a fastener
stuck half way up.
More than one embarrassed
woman has sneaked in wearing a
coat over a slip. Another woman,
preparing to leave town, was
about to pay for her train ticket
when she discovered her pocket
book fastener wouldn't work. The
ticket agent refused to believe
she had the money in her purse
and could pay later.
Mr.. Harrison says problems
actually are proportionately very
few since about 900 million slide
fasteners are manufactured in
this country every year.
Carelessness and impatience
are to blame for most mishaps,
this expert says, and men get
into trouble as often as women.

Sir Robert has issued this
warning about the enormous
growth" of illegal diamond
mining:
This has caused q serious
movement of manpower from
the farms and it was necessary
to import rice. It has also caused
q major social upheaval. the
consequences of which cannot
yet be judged. but whose out

What he was saying diplo-

and vice are growing with the
diamond racket. Peasant farm

they are developing are not
