An American scientist reported

To Strengthen Britain and France

their ideas for coordination to
the international economic or
ganization they have set up in
Europe for that purpose.
There are lots of things that
can be done to give strength
on the currency side. One
method has been mentioned
for America to waive interest
on postwar loans made to the
British by the United States.
Another suggested by London
is to draw down a portion of
the British subscription now in
the international Monetary
Fund. Just how many hun
dreds of millions of dollars
may be needed to strengthen
the pound and prevent a run
on the franc is difficult to pre-
dict at this time because the
mere fact that America is ready
to help will in itself bring a
measure Of renewed confidence
in the financial world.
The important thing Is that
the authorities here do see
the picture clearly and are
ready to do whatever can be
done within reason, Congress,
Of course, must approve some
of the steps to be taken.
There has been an expec-
tation Of a tax reduction and
certainly a surplus in the Fed
eral budget. Whether the new
requirements in the world pic
ture will affect all these mat
tiers is something that can
hardly be foretold at this time.

tary might for which Nasser
paid a heavy political price to
Moscow.
Nasser owes us a heavy debt
of gratitude. His personal
prestige with the Arabs was
severely damaged when his
"invincible armies" which he
boosted about last summer
melted away under the blows
Of a relatively small British
French-Israeli force.
Had we not supported the
United Nations action with
determination there is no
doubt that the principal goal
of the triumvirate-to do away
with Nasser-would have been
easily accomplished. Whether
the Egyptian dictator will re-
member this and show some
gratitude is a matter on which
our diplomats are reluctant to
speculate. They are uneasy
over the future consequences
of our actions, but console
themselves with the feeling
that our stand has averted a
serious conflict with possible
world wide repercussipns.
In off-the-record CONVERSE
tions American officials admit
freely that the bulk Of the
British and French people,
who count more than the gov
ernments now in Office, are
more than irritated with US.
They have been told that when
Mr.. Dulles went to London last
summer after NaSSer nation
allied the Suez Canal Co. he
was given to understand by
Prime Minister Eden and Pre-
nlier Mollet that unless there
was an early settlement Of
Nasser's breach Of contract"
drastic action would be taken
against him.
France and Britain were less
concerned over financial losses
than the political implication
of the July coup. Nasser
was spearheading Russia's OBJ
jectives in the Middle East and
North Africa to the detriment
of the West. Dulles is reported
to have tried to convince our
allies not to resort to force.

Negro, German
Wife Leave
Couple Resided
On Virginia Farm

SOUTH BOSTON, Va, Oct. IL
tSpeciaD A Negro veteran and
/ his German wife who were liv-
ing in Halifax County in viola
ton of Virginia's miscegenation
laws, have left the State. accord
ing to Commemorative Attorney
Frank L. Mckinney.
I'm glad to say they're gone. :"
Mr. Mckinney said today. I
sent the sheriff out there to tell
them they were violating the law.
But by the time the sheriff got
there, they had already left"
Mr.. Mckinney said he did not
know where the couple had gone.
They had been living with the
veterans parents on a tenant
farm near here.
Representative Tuck, Democrat
of Virginia, had protested to the
immigration Service. asking if
immigration law permits "a
Negro to bring a white woman
from foreign country into Vir-
iginia to live with her as man
and wife in violation of Virginia
laws and policies"
In reply. Commissioner j. NJ.
Swing of the service said that if
a German national were law
fully admitted to this country
as a permanent resident under
immigration law and is mot
amenable to deportation pro-
ceedlngs, the service does not
have jurisdiction"
Mr.. Mckinney said Virginia
wouldn't have recognized the
marriage regardless of where it
took place. He said that if they
were still in the county he
would have charged them with
unlawful cohabitation.
Virginia law on the subject
was challenged last year in the
Supreme Court but the case
ended without clear-cut de-
cision on constitutionality of the
State measures.
