G|obaI Pact Shaped
To Curb Russians
Would Join
so Nations
In Alliance

LONDON, Nov. 9 (P.-The
United States and Britain to-
night were reported shaping up
plans for banding together
about so nations in a worldwide
campaign to block the spread
of space-age communism.
Senior diplomats here said
this proposed new global diplo-
matte strategy would be
charted on a long-range as
sumption-on the possibility
that the Soviet Union could
prolong the cold war until the
next century.
The United States and
Britain evidently hope to align
like-minded countries under
the umbrella Of their nuclear
power. the informants said. and
to win pledges from them that
they will cooperate in poll
tical, economic and military eff
forts to beat Russia's Sputnik-
paced challenge.
Would Link Four Pacts
In the world girdling hookup.
at least four regional defensive
alliances would be joined to-
gether. They are the 15-nation
Atlantic Pact. the 5-nation
Baghdad Pact, the 8-member
Southeast Asian Treaty Or
ganization and the 21-state
Pan-American Alliance.
But the diplomats insisted
there is no intention to set up
any formal new, 50-member
treaty spelling out the COM
mitments of the powers. Even
the idea of a conference of the
50-odd countries with which
the United States has treaties
has been rejected.
That is because Washington
and London want to avoid any
suggestion that they are trying
to build up a rival to the United
Nations, the informants said.
Liaison Provided
The idea instead is to draw
all the Vests regional group
ings together. to create con-
tinuing liaison machinery be-
tween them and to pull in other
friendly states which do not
belong to any formal alliance.
The purpose is to launch q
new stage in the political-mili-
tary-economic cooperation OF
the on-Communist world.
Scope of the plan is vast. It
ranges from defining condi-
tons for massive nuclear re-
taliation against an aggressor
to standardization of most
types of war materials.
American and British spe-
cialists are preparing the pro-
poSals for submission to the Is
heads of the Atlantic Pact gov
ernments who meet in Paris
next month. This conference
will be followed by high level
meetings of the five-power
Baghdad Pact and the eight
power Southeast Asian Treaty
Organization.

DR.. Stebbing to Retire;
Under Fire at Hospital
BY CHARLES G. BROOKS

DR.. Philip A. E. Stebbing, SUI
perintendent of the District
General Hospital which has
been under fire on maladminis-
tration charges. will retire in
February, he told The Star
last night.
The physician-superintend-
ent, however, said he had not
really wanted to announce his
decision this early because II
didn't want people to think ]
was leaving when under fire."
In recent years the admins
tration Of the city institution
has been the target of criticism
and complaints from its medi-
cal staff and from a Congress
sional subcommittee which last
spring accused it of inefflciency.
Blasted by House Group
In March an investigating
group of the House Appropria-
ton Committee blasted the
hospital as well as the Health
Department and said that the
administrative staff reflects an
inadequate and weak admins
tration on the part of respon-
sible officials. There is no dele
cation of authority below the
deputy superintendent. :"
At the same time the COM
mittee attacked the admins
tration of the entire District
Health Department. That was
before the new health director,
DR.. Daniel Leo Finucane, took
over.
In regard to the hospital, 1t
noted that the medical staff
had gone over the head of the
hospital administration with its
complaints and suggestions. 1t
added that the failure of the
administration to keep the
heads of departments advised
on their requests has prevented
the hospital from presenting "a
real and true picture of the
need of the hospital to Con-
gress."

present dilemma is not
due to the fact that we

during the first six to ten
years after the war.

Democratic Senators espe-
cially powerful on Appropria-
tons and Finance Committees
said yesterday that the problem
of ending of waste. confusion
and the shortage of scientists
for missile development will be
far harder to overcome than
getting more money from
Congress.
Senator Byrd. Democrat Of
Virginia, the leading congress
sional fighter for governmental
economy. declared that another
50 billion could be spent on
missile and satellite programs
without throwing the budget
out of balance. But, he added,
this could be done only by cut
ting "non-essential' spending
to the bone in domestic fields.
Senator Chavez, Democrat of
New Mexico, chairman Of the
Senate Appropriations subcom-
mittee on defense funds. voiced
confidence that "the American
people will not complain of
the cost of national security"
But he described President Eli
senhower's missile and satellite
development program as Elm
adequate" He blamed former
Secretary of Defense Wilson for
what he called false savings
duplication and indecisiveness"
in that work.

It's simple, but it works. At least

keep me awake late because she
likes to read at night. The bed
light would keep me from get
ting to sleep. I would twist and
turn-but never complained to
her because it was her only
chance to get any relaxation.
After an hour of this I was

tired to sleep. Besides, the morn
