The defendants permitted the
Wolf firm. the indictments said,
to allocate bids among them on
cotton offered for sale by the
Commodity Credit Corp. in 1854
and 1855, and permitting Wolf
& Co. to fix prices to be sub
mitted to the merchants and the
lCCC.
ALLEGATION Charged
Assistant United States Attor-
ney Gen. Stanley M. Barnes,
chief of the Justice Departments
antitrust division, said the in
dictments charged the defend
ants conspired to allocate bids on
cotton purchased by the CCC $50
as to eliminate price competition
among themselves, and to cause
damages to the United States in
the operation of its cotton dis
Iposal program."
Mr.. Wolf released a statement
through his attorneys contending
his firm believed it was "facil-
Iitating rather than restraining
the disposal of unwieldly sur
Ipluses held by the Government, "
but the gentlemen of the JUS
tice Department now seem to
think otherwise"
Edward F. Creekmore, presi-
dent of the firm named in the
indictments, said he was sur
prised and shocked by the ac-
ton of the United States grand
jury" and claimed there was mo
justification for the indictment
and we are confident that the
company will be completely vim
dicated."

touches that will put it in the
bill going to Congress after the
Easter holiday.
A third price-raiSing proposal
which the administration op-
poses-involving dairy products
also was scheduled for consid-
Grafton, but the outcome there
was uncertain.
Passed to Consumer
The wheat plan, sponsored by
Senator Carlson, Republican oi
Kansas, an Eisenhower intimate
would give full parity support to
wheat consumed domestically
The rest would be sold at the
lower world, or feed grain, prices
About half of the normal crop
would qualify for the top sup
port, which would be financed
in part by a levy on professors
This cost, in turn, would be
passed on to consumers.
AS the Senate passed the farm
bill, the wheat plan was condi-
tional. with the Secretary oi
Agriculture having authority to
decide whether it should be
applied if growers approved by
a two-thirds vote in a wheat belt
referendum.
The conferees made applica-
ton mandatory if the growers
vote for the plan. 1t would &c
into effect in 1858 instead OF
1857, as originally contemplated
Secretary Benson says that
only about IS per cent of the
wheat growers could qualify fol
participation in the referendum
and according to his figures, the
small growers, not protected by
acreage allotment machinery
actually would lose money be-
cause most of their crop would
be marketed at the feed grain
level.

Devereux Colt Josephs, New

the White House said.
Mr.. Eisenhower spoke Of the
need for such a committee in
a January IL message to Con-
gress. He said then he would
appoint a group to study all the
problems of education beyond
high school land to encourage
active and systematic attack OF
them"
Among the problems. the
White House said, are ways to
provide good teaching and hous-
ing for an expected major in
crease in college enrolment
over the next 10 years. The
committee also will consider
ways to meet any shortage OF
scientists and engineers. It will

night club. A British reporter once asked
if he had any hobbies. The Count replied
with a smile, Il have eleven children"
His daily life is as rigorous as that of
any head of State. At 8:55 each morning,
he steps from his chauffeur-drivenC itroen
at Rue de Constantine, between the
French Foreign Office and the Dutch
Embassy. The place is modestly fur
'nished and occupied by very small staff.
Once settled in his Office, he flashed his
impeccable teeth at me and said, surpriS-
ingly enough, What we need, what |
want in France, is revolution.
mot bloody revolution he went on,
rather, a revolution of the spirit. Our
mentality, morals and habits must change.
''Ifthe nation asks me to take position
of responsibility l shall do so in order to
restore spiritual and moral force to gov
ernmental authority, to insure stability.
l would demand sacrifices for the neces-
sary social and economic reforms"
No matter how unlikely the Counts
goal may be, great deal Of what he says
makes sense. He cannot. under the Con-
Stitution, be elected President, but he could
be summoned to form a cabinet. If this
happened Ia very big "if') the Count
believes that once his program Of reforms
got under way, the people would clamor
for him to assume the crown.
II would give back that essential con-
tact between the executive and the people,
directly, not by dictatorship, but by more
effective democracy, he toldme. Il believe
in the good sense Of the people, and this
is what mean by the revolution "a
return to the base, return to the people.

politicians. When Edgar Faure was still
Prime Minister, he dined at the Count of
Paris's house, Flying Heart Manor"
outside Paris, and afterward paid him
glowing tribute, not as a would-be king,
but as a sort of unaffiIiated political clear
ing house:
THE Count of Paris talks to both sides
and lets them know things it is difficult to
get made known by other means. indie
pendent of vested interests, he plays per-
Sonal but indisputable role in political
life
AS such the Count undoubtedly is
important. When he tours the French
provinces he is received at the prefectural
capitals with flags and gendarmes, and
local bigwigS flock to confer with him.
The "Dauphin's" Engagement
The French press, radio and television
record the goingS and comings of the fam
lily which they usually identify simply as
THE House Of France" The French
people, like other democratic nations,
have lot of interest in royalty. and it's
novelty to have some of their own, even
uncrowned. The Counts recent announce
ment of the engagements Of two of his
II children was big news. Twenty-four-
year-old Henri, the 'Dauphin," is marry
ing Princess Marie ThereSe of Wurtem-
berg, while daughter Helene will wed
Belgian count.
Master of an inherited fortune, man
avidly sought by international society,
the Count leads simple life, devoting a

Would this mean he'd not restore the
French ariStocracy if he came to the
throne, refuse to revive the colorful tradi-
tons citizens expect of monarchy?
The old aristocracy in France today
plays absolutely no role, !" he said bluntly.
IF monarchy is restored here, we can
revive the aristocracy on new basis, an
ariStocracy in the earliest, nobleSt sense
of those rewarded for what they have
given to France. Tradition should be
given new sense, new vigor.
While it would doubtless take state of
chaos such as during World War II (when
his return to the throne was actually men,
toned to make him Frances leader, the
Count of Paris'S political position today
carries good deal of prestige. Since 1919
he has published comments and SuggeS-
tons on French problems in his Monthly
Bulletin sent to a, 900 persons ''of respon-
Sible position"
A "Serious Thinker"
A good many of the ideas in it - on
colonies, NATO, agriculture, alcoholism,
atomic energy II have been lifted BY other
political figures and widely supported.
Most, while discarding the Counts royal
aspiration as nonsense, respect the man as
a serious and positive thinker on French
affairs. The Count himself really believes
he could become king.
''If the historic moment arrives, the
real threat to the country will still be the
Communists he said. Il will not have
their apparatus for manipulating the
masses, but am sure that in the end l
will reach the people far more effectively
than they"
Listening to him, one is half-conVinced
he has a chance Pretty surely he has none
whatsoever.
But in any case his life isn't the wasted
time of the usual uncrowned king. He
plays, as Edgar Faure says, an indiSput-
able political role. And he's certainly
helped solve one former French problem
- the falling birth rate. The End

Way Found to ell

Sex, Doctors Soy

JERUSALEM, Jan. 0 R.-
Three Israeli doctors say they
have found q way Of determining
the sex Of q child before it is
born.
A Joint report from Hadassah
Medical Organization and the
Weizmann Institute OF Science
for the next issue Of the Israeli
Research Council bulletin said
Drs. David Ser. Leo Sachs and
Mathilde Damon had found the
method worked in 40 cases out
of 20 in the ninth month Of
pregnancy.
Examinations are now being
made at different stages Of
pregnancy.
The report said the doctors
used cells from the amniotic
fluid which surrounds the en-
bryo to make their diagnosis
The scientists determined the
composition Of the chromosomes
small bodies which ordinarily
appear in definite number in the
cells Of q given species.
It was found the determine,
ton Of sex could be made on
the basis Of the percentage Of
cells having chromocenters, the
minute bodies near the nucleus
which appear TO be the dynamic
center In the process Of sexual
reproduction.

Juliette. the 20-year-old niece
of Luis A. Wehle, State con-

Owens referred to was Juliette's
pre- dawn flight with an old boy

hours before she was to have
married 1t. Owens.
