Permanent U. N. Troops
Are Urged by Sporkmon

Senator Sparkman, Democrat
of Alabama, yesterday urged the
United Nations to organize a
permanent. standby police force,
similar to the token force now
on duty in the troubled Suez
Canal area.
The Senator believes that the
U. MS success in persuading the
belligerents in Egypt to let q
token force from the smaller ma
tions take over. demonstrates the
advisability of having such a
force ready to move into any
area where peace is threatened.
The idea is not a new one.
1t was talked about when the
u. N. was founded more than a
decade ago. And Senator Spark
man recalled that in 1850 he Of
fered q resolution in the Senate,
asking the world agency to re-
vive the proposal.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-12-23

The Senator said he has no
immediate plans for reintroduc-
ing that resolution in the Senate,
because he is hopeful the U. N.
itself will consider the subject
before it winds up its current
session.
In the recent outbreak of fight
ing across the Egyptian-Israeli
border 1t took valuable time to
organize the U. N. force and
assemble it for duty.
Senator Sparkman said also
he believes the U. N. soldiers will
have to remain on duty in the
Middle East until that whole
area has been stabilized.
Senator Monroney, Democrat
Iof Oklahoma, went further. He
suggested the U. N. force may
have to remain on the Israeli
Egyptian border for q number
Iof years. until peace is assured.

United States manufacturer will
be permitted to make an on
cially-timed record breaking
effort.
The present official speed and
altitude records are held by
British airplanes - a Fairey
Delta FD2 research plane set a
speed mark Of 1882 miles an
hour last March, and an English
electric Canberra bomber holds
the altitude record of $3.50
feet.
The United States official speed
record is LOIS miles an hour set
last summer by the Chance

like the Tiger is being built for
the Navy as a carrier-based
fighter.
A United States rocket re-
search plane, the Bell X2,

feet and a speed of 1900 miles
an hour this year. However, the
X2 was carried aloft by q B-5O
mother ship to be launched far
above the earth. and could not

while there are vulnerable
spots in the present economic
situation. there is yet no need
for serious alarm, the bulletin
of the District of Columbia Life
Underwriters Association said
today.
Present debt figures seem to
indicate the need for increased
caution, it advised. 1t pointed
out that some quarters believe
the two most vulnerable con-
i. ditions are the amount and
character of consumer credit
outstanding and the amount and
character of debts on urban real
estate.
Quoting the National Associa-
ton of Life Underwriters, the
bulletin said warning signals are:
/. The quality of some out
standing credit is not as safe
as it should be. 2. The stimulus
to business activity from credit
expansion is likely to be less in
1856 than in 1855. 8. The de-
mand for funds to finance
home construction has exceeded
the amount of funds which the
savings institutions have avail
able.
But it said "all in all the mort
gage debt situation is not dan
gerous at present" The bulletin
said people generally are better
off financially and in a safer
condition as to debts than in
the past and consumer credit
and total debt at present are not
too much out of line with the
volume of business. production
and construction, or with in
comes.
