Several Recent Gases.
Several times in recent years.
Britain has publicly worried
about the death penalty. In mid
1858 sex-rnad stranger John
Christie declared before he went
to the gallows for one staying
that he had committed an ad-
ditional murder for which an
other man. Timothy Evans, had
been hanged. Suspicious were
set on In the House Of Commons
and the case was reopened. A
government inquiry decided that
Christie had deliberately lied III
taking the blame for the other
murder. !.
Earlier In 1858. Derek Bentley.
10. was hanged for his part In
the murder Of q policeman al
though he did not actually fire
the fatal shot. A younger accom-
plice, who fred the gun. was
sentenced to jail. Another show
of public indignation followed.
A Royal Commission has stud
led capital punishment methods,
but was not permitted to con-
slider its abolition. Now some
are urging that abolition be
studied.
Under the Labor government
in i948. Britain scrapped capital
punishment for a six-week trial
period. Hanging was resumed
after two men were convicted Of
numbering q child.

Trade Agreements Act already

The program Is given q better
chance of passage in the new
Congress controlled by Demo-
Gratis who initiated the original

The heart Of the Eisenhower
recommendations calls for a
Trade Agreements Act. modified
to permit q reduction Of UP to-
five per cent in each Of the three
years Of existing tariff rates on
selected commodities.
Such reductions would be
worked out in negotiations with
other countries to reciprocate
for tariff benefits accorded
American exports, thus promot-
ing the principle of increased
two-way trade.
Other Provisions Sought.
Other provisions, Mr.. Hagerty
said. will call for simplif1cation
of customs regulations to pro-
mote freer trade and preferen-
tial tax treatment on income
earned by Americans through
foreign investments to promote
an increase in United States
capital outlay abroad.
