INJURED IN ACCIDENT

from the heart of the largest
city on earth. After few days
we will all fly to Paris to cele-
brate the birthdays on the
25th. Sounds like fun but few
days of rest and recuperation
are now in order and we take
to our beds like field hands.
Our tour of wonderful England
is completed and we have
travelled 2.300 miles in three
weeks. Not much to our stand
ards. but a lot here. where
everything is in miniature. A
hundred miles on the little.
curving roads which are fenc-
ed in stone or hedge is en-
tirely the equivalent of about
three hundred miles in our
country.
Well. there you have 1t for
now. More from Charlwood as
time permits. And. of course.
we'll tell you all about our
grip to Gay Paree!

Council Counter Offer To
Gas Co. Meets Opposition
Place Proposal
On First Reading

London City Council rejected
the Ohio Fuel Gas Company's
proposal for a three-step rate in
crease at council meeting Thurs
day night However, council Of
fered the gas company a two-step
increase in the form of an ordi-
nance.
The proposed ordinance adopted
the first two steps of the gas
cWnpany's proposal. Under its
provisions, an average consumer
whose bill is now S385 per month,
will pay approximately 10 cents
per month more for the first year
and Al cents per month more for
the second two years. The con-
tract would be limited to three
years.
Councilman c. O. Snow offered
sharp opposition to the proposed
ordinances provision for a cutoff
turnon charge. The ordinance pro-
Vides that the company is entitled
to charge the minimum charge
per month for the turn-on of the
gas when service is discontinued
at the users request. Such charges
would have a 12-month maximum.
The minimum charge per month
is SIPS. Mr.. Snow said he felt
such charges were not fair to the
consumer.
Voting on both the proposal to
read the ordinance and to place
the ordinance for its first read
ing broke as follows: Alexander.
Yes; Davis, No; Cummins, Yes,
Snow, No; Chooman, Yes: Nor
cher, Yes. Councilman Kidweu.
who is the local manager of the
Ohio Fuel Gas Company, abstain
ed from voting or discussing the
issue. A motion to pass the Grid
nance as emergency legislation
was withdrawn. The ordinance
was placed on its first reading by
this vote of to 2 and ] abstain
ing.

anin1ously approved the second
reading of the sewer rental ordi-
nance and they agreed to hear a
proposed rate change for the city
from the Ohio Edison Co.
Council President Bill Robson

a Detroit firm, seeking plant
site in London. The letter stated

employees in woodworking preceS-
ses. The letter was referred to

Trusty Opens Cell
Doors For Mates

Two prisoners fled the Madison
County Jail sometime early We'd
nesday morning, according to Sher-
iff Joe Smith. One of the two
opened the Jail doors for II other
prisoners who chose to stay be-
hind.
Smith listed the two escapes as
John Doran, 80, and James A. Bel
cher, 30, both of Columbus. Doran
was serving a sentence of six
months plus a $500 fine on a
charge of operating a motor vehi-
Gle without a license, repeatedly
his seventh arrest on such charges.
The sentence was imposed by May
/ or Harold r. RAIDER of West Jeff
erson. Belcher had been bound to
the Madison Co. Grand Jury on a
charge of drunken driving, follow
ing his arrest by the State High
way Patrol. He was also said to
have had several previous arrests,
and was held in lieu of $500 bond
Smith said Belcher was wanted by
authorities in Florida.
Smith gave this story of the es-
cape: Doran, trusty, slept out
side the main cell block. Sometime
after midnight. when the sheriff
and his wife retired, a third per-
son entered the sheriff's office and
opened the main Jail door. Doran
then took the keys from the office
and opened the cell block, offering
freedom to all inmates. Only one,
Belcher, left. The two then re-
locked the Jail and left by the kit
chen door They left the keys on
the kitchen table.
Smith said inmates told him that
Doran had reached through the
main Jail door and opened it him
self as the key was in the lock.
When attempted, this method of
escape proved impossible, even
with the key in place.
Deputy Sheriff Robert Henry
reported that a taxi driver told
him he had taken the men to Co
lumbus, where they left the cab
at different points. Although area
police were alerted, no trace of the
men had been reported by Thurs
day morning.

Building Program
Necessary Now

A general meeting will be held
at the st. Patrick Church in
London on Sunday, June 10. for
the purpose of discussing the
start of a building program for
the Catholic P Parochial School
here, according to the Reverend
Edward Reidy, the pastor. The
meeting will be open to Catholics
and non-Catholics, said Father
Reidy. Anyone may come who is
interested in our problems. And
we do have some problems" he
said.
Reports indicated that the build
ing program under discussion
would include the school facilities
and possibly a parish hall for
public use. The parochial school
on Walnut Street, two-story
building, was said to have had
the second story condemned some
years ago. The building has stood
for many years and is in bad
repair.
More than 80 children attend
the parochial school. Should this
facility be closed by state order,
these children would have to be
absorbed into the public school
system if no separate facilities
were provided.
Father Reidy asks that all in
terested persons attend the Sun
day morning meeting, particular
ly those parents with children in
school. He emphasized that public
awarness of the problem and con-
certed effort might give the ans

'East|and Sees
Peril in lass
Nv the Associated Press

Senator Eastland, Democrat OF
Mississippi, said today the activ-
tiles of the Soviet news agency
TaSs raise a major security
problem for the United States.
Referring to recent testimony
taken by the Senate Internal Sc
curity subcommittee which he
heads, Senator Eastland said in
a statement:
1--WE seem to have two indict-
ments against this Soviet news
agency: First. that it is used as
a cover for Soviet spies; second.
that it serves the interest of
Soviet propagandists who take
the selected news items and turn
them back, in a distorted way,
to the whole world"
Senator Eastland added:
II would not disturb the free
dom of operation of any legiti-
mate news agency or newspaper
reporters in this country, nor do
wish to lessen any freedoms
which are enjoyed by our news
men abroad, but it seems to me
there should be some way to give
fuller protection to the security
and good name of the United
States when it is subjected to
such activities as have been at
tributed to TasS."
The subcommittee recently re-
ceived testimony about Tass in a
series of hearings it describes as
aimed at finding out how Soviet
power" operates in this country
through organizations other than
the Communist Party.
Senator Eastland noted that
the subcommittee has heard
sworn testimony that 80 to IS
Iper cent of Tass employees are
agents of one or another of
the several Soviet intelligence
groups"
He referred particularly to the
testimony on February % of
Ismail Eye, now of Washington,
who said he detected to the
west in 1912 after serving as a
section chief of Soviet military
intelligence.

Dulles Is Seen
.Favoring More
Flexible Policy

TOKYO, Mar. 10 (R.-Secre-
tary of State Dulles headed home
from his donation Asian tour
today, repeatedly convinced the
United States needs a more
flexible" foreign economic policy
to counter the new Communist
drive.
Mr.. Dulles took of by plane
for Honolulu en- route to Wash
ington to report to President
Eisenhower and the American
people on his swing through
South Asia and the Far East.
A high source said Mr.. Dulles
concluded from his conferences
in the Asian capitals that United
States economic policy needed
changing, but he did not specify
what the secretary had in mind.
No Basic Change Seen
The informant indicated Mr..
Dulles did not envisage relaxa-
ton Of the free worlds restric-
tons on trade with Red China.
But japanese Foreign Minister
Mamoru Shigemitsu. who con-
ferred with Mr.. Dulles, said the
secretary expressed sympathy
with Japan's need for more trade
and agreed the United States
would not oppose Japanese trade
with Peiping within the set
scope"
A source close to Mr.. Dulles
entire tour said no basic change
in American policy is anticipated.
He said the American secretary
found Asian leaders skeptical of
the detectives behind Soviet
offers of economic aid.
Mr.. Shigemitsu said Mr.. Dulles
made two main points in his talk
with the Japanese foreign min
lister and Premier Ichiro Hato-
yama:
l. The free world can check
any future Communist military
aggression.
2. The free world must make
fresh efforts to counter the Red
economic and cultural offensive
abroad.

was a "brotherly meeting" He
asserted it was not intended as
taking sides in the rivalry for
lArab allegiance between the
Egypt Syria-Saudi Arabia line
up and the Western-sponsored
Baghdad Pact alliance, of which
Iraq is a, member.
King Hussein said his country
seeks Arab unity, and hence
wants the confidence Of all the
Arab states.
In Cairo, Saudi Arabia's dep
uty foreign minister. Sheikh
Youssef Yasin. said his country
and Egypt believe King Hussein
wants to cooperate with them.
Sheikh Yasin made this COM
ment after Bajhat Talhouni. the
chief of Jordan's royal cabinet,
flew to the Egyptian capital with
King Hussein's reply to the
latest offer Of financial AID from
THE Arab "big three"
Kings Reply Not Revealed
The content of the kings reply
was not disclosed. Egypt, Saudi
Arabia and Syria have offered
to replace the annual 30-million
subsidy Britain pays for the sup
port of Jordan's Arab Legion
King Hussein so far has well
coined the aid offer from his
Arab neighbors but has been I'M
willing to go further toward
breaking with Britain than his
recent dismissal of 1t. Gen. Sir
John Bagot Club as comman-
der of the legion.
Charges of war preparations
came from both Israel and the
Arab states. Jordan Premier
Samir Rifai accused the Israelis
of preparing for attack on the
Arabs; Israeli Premier David
Ben-Gurion said only early de-
livery of arms to his government
would prevent an Arab attack
within the next few months"
Premier Rifai told a party Of
visiting American newsnen the
Israelis had planned to open hos
tilities March /, ''but fortunately
that date has now passed" He
added the Israelis might divert
the waters of the Jordan river
as an excuse for starting a war
Premier Ben-Gurion indicated
to a convention of the Histadrut
trade union in Tel Aviv he was
still hopeful of obtaining de-
tense arms in time to prevent
war" But he added:
I'VE must prepare for our own
defense on the assumption that
we must rely on our own capac-
Iity alone"
Would Blame United States
A second round" of the Arab
Israeli war, the Israeli Premier
asserted, would be the fault OF
the United States because it has
not agreed to sell Israel $50 mil
