British Reported Set
For New Blow at Oman

MANAMA, Bahrain, Aug. 5
P).-British forces today were
reported grouping at forward
positions ready for attack in
revolt-hit Muscat and Oman.
Observers here expected the
British would join forces with
Sultan Said Bin Taimur for
"a blow at the rebel-held
stronghold at Nizwa within AZ

A British spokesman told
'newsmen they could expect a

taken as meaning there would
be news blackout in an i'm

On West Trade
To Red China

The United States has
agreed under pressure from its
allies to ease still further West
ern trade controls on ship
ments to Red China.
American representa- tives,
acting under State Department
instructions, approved this
move at a meeting last week of
is key trading nations in Paris
The action frees limited
quantities and types of ma
chine tools, ships. transporta-
ton equipment. chemicals and
metal products for shipment to
the China mainland.
Ban Stays on U. S. Goods
The United States Govern
ment will continue to ban all
American trade with the Chi
nese Reds. however. under its
existing economic diplomatic
boycott of the Peiping regime.
Responsible officials who dis
closed the action stressed that
this Government had no alter
native but to agree. The move,
they said, was an inevitable
follow-up to Britain's decision
last May 80 to put China trade
controls on a par with those
guiding shipments to the Euro
pean Communist bloc.
The Paris meeting which
started some three weeks ago,
they said. set quotas for the
remainder of the year on some
IS important trade items pre-
viously banned from China
trade since the Korean War.
Britain Opened Way
Britain had already served
notice it would ship these in
limited amounts last May 30
after it announced it was aban-
doning trade controls on some
POT less important commodi-
ties.
Britain was supported by
France. West Germany and
Italy as we'll as Japan In seek
ing higher quotas than the
United States wanted to APP
prove for the rest of this year.
The japanese are reported to
have swung over to the side of
those favoring more trade after
seeking unsucceSSfully this
spring to mediate sharp differ
ences between Britain and the
United States on the China
trade problem.
No sharp increase in Chinese
Communist trade with Western
countries is foreseen by Ameri-
can officials because of the lin
tied funds which are available
to the Peiping regime for such
outside purchases.

The State Department is ex-
pected to decide soon whether
athletes from Communist
China and Bulgaria will be adj
mitted to this country to COM
pete in the 1860 winter Olym@
pics in Squaw Valley, Calf.
If the State Department bars
them. the International Olym-
pic Committee will have to
take the games someplace
else" Committee President
Avery Brundage of the United
States has warned.
If the Red Chinese and Bull
garia athletes are admitted, a
storm of protest is expected
from patriotic ORGANIZATIONS
across the land. The United
States does not recognize the
Communist regimes in either
country and ordinarily bars its
nationals from visiting Amer
lea.
California winter sports en-
thuslasts are now in the midst
of campaign to raise $40 mil
lion TO develop a completely
new and permanent winter
resort IN the mountainous
north-central California area
around Lake Tahoe as the site
for the games.
Would Admit Reds
California is reported by
Olympic officials to be very
strongly in favor" of admitting
the Communist Chinese and
Bulgarian athletes. Neither
country is known to have top
rank competitors in skiing,
skating. hockey or bobsled rae
ing. the chief winter sports.

Doctrine Value

President Eisenhower re-
ported to Congress today that
the so-called Eisenhower doc
trine' has played a major role
in helping to build strength
against the threat of interna-
tional communism" in the
Middle East.
The doctrine is embodied in
a congressional resolution APP
proved last March which prom
ises American aid to any Mid
die East country asking for it
in opposing Communist agrees
sion
1T has served as an unmis-
taxable warning to interna-
tional communism against all
forms of aggression. the Pres
ident said in. a report to Con-
gress today.
He added that the contri-
button of the resolution to in
ternational peace and stabil-
ity in the Middle East will
continue to grow as long as the
purposes and principles it sets
forth are maintained"
The resolution calls for re-
ports to Congress by the PreSi-
dent each January and July.
This was his first such report.
Recalling the visit by Ambas-
sador James P. Richards to Is
Middle Eastern countries last
spring, the report said this
mission proved notably sue
cessful in bringing home to the
nations of the Middle East and
to international communism
the meaning of the resolution.
Ambassador Richards made
agreements in principle with l3

Wding for a total Of sl18.7 mil

Senator Knowland OF CALI
fornia. a staunch friend of Ma
tionalist China and foe Of the
Communist regime on the
mainland, has not taken a pub
lie position on the propriety Of
admitting Red Chinese to his
home State.
There was authoritative spec
ulation, how yer. that he
would raise no objection if they
were allowed to come for the
sole purpose of participating in
the Sqaw Valley competition
California officials have re-
ceived indications that the
State Department takes a
sympathetic" view toward ad-
mission of the controversial
athletes.
This much was apparent,
they believe. in the State De-
partment decision to allow Mr..
Brundage and a few members
of the American sponsoring
committee to go to Sofia, Bull
garia, September 20 for meet
ing Of the international Olym-
pic committee.
Mr.. Brundage says the State
Department must give definite
yes" or mo" on the question of
admitting Red Chinese and Bull
gariars by that time.
A Problem for officials
Through the years the United
States has been a leading advo-
cate of the "inflexible" princl-
pie that no distinction can be
made among competitors in the
quadrennial Olympics because
of race, religion or politics.
Communist China has been
a problem for Olympic games
since the Reds took over on the
mainland. Red China was
barred at first because it had
no recognized national Olympic
committee.
Now the international Olym-
pic Committee is understood TO
have majority in favor of adj
hitting the Red Chinese. An
indication of the trend is in the
decision to hold the September
IOC meeting in Sofia.
Communist Chinese athletes
had been expected to partici-
pate in the 1856 Olympic games
in Australia, but the interna-
tional committee finally voted
against the idea because the
Peiping government tried to
inject politics" into the event.

Reds Deny Sickness
Keeps Bu|gonin Home

BERLIN, Aug. S R.-A So
Wet Embassy spokesman indi-
Gated today that Premier Niko-
lai Bulganin is being left of
the top-level team of Soviet
visitors to East Germany next
week because economic discus
sions will take the spotlight.
The spokesman denied Mar
shall Bulganin was off the team
because of illness.
The explanation about the
Importance of economic affairs
in the forthcoming Soviet-East
German talks did no, answer
the question why Marshal Bull
ganin was being left home,
however.
An embassy spokesman in
East Berlin indicated in reply
to questions that Deputy Pre-
mier Anastas Mikoyan was sub
. stituted for Marshal Bulganin
because the talks between Rus
sian and East German leaders
will stress economic problems.
Mr.. Mikoyan is the leading
economic expert among Rus
sia'S top policy makers.
Caught by Surprise
A Moscow announcement dis
closed Saturday night that
Marshal Bulganin-the "B" of
the travelling team of "B and
K" that has been making head
lines for two years with its
wide-ranging tours emphasiz-
ing Soviet smiles and friend
ship-would be missing when
Russian leaders visit East Ger
many next week. Soviet Party
Boss Nikita Khrushchev is
heading the team.
The announcement caught
the East German press by sur
prise. Until the Embassy spoke
up the papers were without an
explanation.
Newspapers in the West spec
ulated that Marshal Bulganin
might be in the process of be-
ing downgraded in the Kremlin.
The independent newspaper
in West Berlin, BIZ, headlined:

1t was noted that Bulganin
also had failed to join Khru-
shchev in a visit to Romania
which it was learned last week
end had resulted in a new
meeting with Yugoslav's Presi-

on Communist Party relations.

Dear Editor:
I am writing you at this time
with the home that my comments
Will point up what l feel is a
proper subject for investigation
and discussion by you in your edi-
torial capacity The incidents to
be related are seemingly of far
less importance than the implica-
tons indicated by their results.
My concern as a taxpayer and
as one trained in public school
administration is with the policy
of our Board of Education to-
ward the off-campus behavior of
students. This is an important
subject in a day when much is
said and written concerning juve-
nile delinquency, with the burden
of the blame too often placed on
the parents.
To be specific, / have lost pa
tience with the continuing snow
balling of passing cars on Great
Falls Road by children who are
waiting for school buses. This in
itself is not of great importance
since the practice seems to be as
old as is the combination of snow
and children. The important thing
is the attitude of the Office of the
Board of Education.
Repetition of this snowballing
practice finally moved me to call
the Board of Education this
morning asking if something
could be done about it. My tele-
phone call was referred to a Mr..
Knight of that office. His answer
was that nothing could be done
about the matter by the Board.
He agreed with me that 1t must
then be a police problem.
Now, l have no more desire to
involve children with police ac-
ton than has anyone else who
likes kids. Furthermore, when l
was growing up, the schools that
l attended accepted certain de
gree of responsibility for students
from the time they left home I'M
til they returned there. My ques-
ton at this point is, what has
happened to our school system in
these days of growing budgets
and constantly increasing prob
lens of delinquency?
l believe that this is a question
Of vital interest to all parents
and to most of your readers. All
local taxpayers have a stake in
the matter, at least so far as the
policy and attitude of the Board
are concerned. 1 am sure that
any editorial attention that you
might give to the matter on the

must also be either a citizen of
the United States or a resident
of Canada, Mexico, the Republic
of Panama or the Canal Zone.
For dependents other than chill
dren, five requirements must be
met to claim an exemption. The
dependent must: Cd Have re-
ceived less than 5000 gross in
come; ~ have received more
than half of his support from
you; 90 not have filed joint
return with his wife Tor her hus-
band); (4) be a citizen of the
United States or a resident of
Canada, Mexico, the Republic of
Panama or the Canal Zone; and
60 must either have been a mem
Der of your household for the
entire taxable year, or must be
related to you Cor to your wife
or husband if a joint return is
fled.
If several persons together con
tributed more than half the sup
port of an individual during the
year, but no one contributed more
than half alone, the group may
designate one of their number to
claim the exemption.
If dependent was born or died
during the year, you can claim a
'ull exemption if the dependent
met the above tests for the part
of the year they were alive.
Under certain circumstances
provided by the law, individuals
who are Head of Household
or Surviving Spouse are en-.
titled to special tax rates. Consult
the Instructions accompanying
