Instead, the two-judge bench
ruled that witnesses could testify

The time was 7:10 pm. yester-

"A man slipped up and warned
me not to scream or he'd kill
me-" Miss Bloomberg related.
But I did scream, and when
I did he threw me to the ground,
leaped on top and clapped a
hand over my mouth. I felt like
I was suffocating.""

While they were struggling,
Miss Bloomberg said, her hand
touched a hammer the man had

Wilson LiberaIizes
Army Application Of
Buy American Edici
Gives Foreign Firms
Better Opportunities
To Sell to U. S. Military
By John A. Giles

Defense Secretary Wilson to-
day eased his departments
"buy-American" directive to give
foreign concerns far greater op-
portunities to obtain contracts
awarded by the armed forces.
The original directive and the
new practice both are in con-
formity with President Eisen-
hower's executive order of last
December. However, the Secre-
tary has chosen the more liberal
course where the order gives him
a choice.
Domestic bids, Mr.. Wilson told
the military services, will be ac-
corded a price differential of 6
per cent. The Presidents order
permitted him to set that differ
entail at either 6 or 10 per cent.
Thus, when the low acceptable
domestic bid is more than 6 per
cent higher than the low foreign
bid award will be to the foreign
bidder.
Materials, including articles
and supplies, will be considered
of foreign origin if the cost of
the foreign products used in such
materials constitutes SO per cent
or more of the cost of all the
products consumed therein. The
percentage has been rs per cent
in the past.
The problem of contract
awards to foreign firms which
underbid American firms came
into the limelight last June when
the Army Corps Of Engineers re-
jected two low British bids to
supply hydroelectric generators
for ms IN the Pacific North
WeSu.
The Army rejected the offers
OF English Electric Export g.
Trading Co Ltd, and awarded
the contracts to Westinghouse
Electric Corp, although the lat
ter's price was $225, 900 higher.
A spokesman for the engineers
said that the price differential
after the bids haG been evaluated
was 1914 per cent at Chief Jo-
seph Dam near Brewster, Wash,
and 7l2 per cent at The Dalles,
up the Columbia River from
Portland. Greg.
Spokesman contended that the
differential was not large enough
to warrant ordering the British
equipment, although they met all
major provisions of the specifi-
cations. This caused considerable
resentment and alarm in Europe,
where the action was viewed as
a test Of the Eisenhower admin
istration's sincerity in urging
trade not aid"

The longer the Nationalists

Thus it Is that the same allied
military planners who were will

argue that the Nationalists and
the United States should try to
hold Quemoy and Matsu as long
as the political climate remains

On Quemoy and its satellite
isles are about 10000 National
ist troops. But junks carrying
Red troops could get from the
mainland to Quemoy in 80 min
utes. The Reds can and do shell
the island. Paratroopers could
be dropped.
Air power-mostly land based
would have to save the day for
the Nationalists. The 7th Fleet
couldn't help much. Warships
could hardly venture into the
area until the Reds were shot
out Of the skies. And the carrier
based American planes would
have a hard time fighting MICS
in equal numbers. Land-based
planes traditionally have an edge
over carrier planes.
The United States is trying
to increase the number of land
based aircraft ready to fight the
Reds. The United States is CIV

should get in operation here

in this area. The allies prin-
