CARACAS, July 80 (P.-
The military dictatorship rul-

papers yesterday from publish

nouncements about elections
scheduled for December Is.
National security police
warned publishers and report
ers that they would be jailed
If they were to attempt to ex-

Newsmen were told anything
published about the elections
and the government must come
from President Marcos Perez
Jimenez personally or a cabinet

The shock over the Presi-
dents murder by a youth hired
to guard him was still acute.
The period of mourning and
preparations for the funeral
have delayed political maneu-

successor.
Special missions from a dozen
American republics were on
hand for the funeral. They
included lib presidential guards
from the Dominican Republic,

Minister
Under Fire in Russia

MOSCOW, July 80 (R.-
Pravda today assailed the So
Wet Ministry of Agriculture for
delays in the transfer Of har-
vest machinery from Southern
Russia to Siberian wheat fields.
The ministry is headed by
Vladimir Matskevich, who
headed a Soviet agricultural
delegation on a tour Of United
States farms in 1855.
The Communist Party news
paper said complaints by ST.
berian workers on the delays
are justified because the har-
vest in Southern Russia is abb
normally early.
1.-THE loss Of every day in
harvesting has caused damage
to our national economy"
Pravda said.
1t charged that ministry Of
flcials had fallen down badly
in the planning of the 1867
harvests. One big complaint,
the paper said, was the failure
to provide 24-hour operation Of
combine harvesters during the
reaping period. 1t said 5000
combines are not yet equipped
with electric lights to permit
night work.
Pravda indicates serious
alarm for harvest prospects
this year. particularly in the
field of animal fodder, which
represents the biggest STUN
bling block in the announced
Soviet intention of overtaking
the United States in meat, but

three years.

Majority Sure
For Aramburu

BUENOS AIRES. July 80 (P).
-Argentina's moderate forces
backing Provisional President
Pedro Aramburu's drive for
constitutional reform were sure
today Of a comfortable majority
in the Constituent Assembly
But political leaders still argued
the meaning of the results OF
the election.
The arguments ranged from
claims of victory by anti-reform
forces and shouts of triumph
by Peronista diehards to assur-
ances from Provisional Presi-
dent Aramburu that the ballot
ing Sunday had proved that
Argentineans had willed to live
Economically.
The tabulation of 1921, 68S
votes-more than 80 per cent
Of the total registered voters
showed that 2,088, 140, or Just
under rs per cent. had needed
the appeal of Juan D. Peron
former dictator, to cast blank
ballots. Peronista candidates
were barred from running in
the election.
This fell far short of Gen
Peron's boast from Caracas
that rs per cent of the Argen-
tineans would answer his call
But those who did still consti-
tuted the country's largest

PARIS. July 80 (P.-France's
new austerity program, de-
signed to save the franc from
collapse and the government
from bankruptcy, went into eff
feet today with publication of
new tax schedules in the Of
fetal Journal.
The sales tax was boosted to
rs per cent from the previous
10 per cent on luxury items
such as motor cars. scooters,
jewelry, art objects, cameras.
radios, refrigerators, household
appliances, sports equipment.
gloves and suitcases, china and
glassware, watches, carpets,
mirrors, smokers articles, and
alcoholic beverages.
Premier Maurice Bourges-
Maunoury and Finance Min
lister Felix Gaillard held a series
of meetings to work out new
governmental economies in the
1858 budget.
Basic Pay Raise Likely
The Government was evil
IDENTIFY resigned to seeing the
index go beyond the point of
1871 which, under the sliding
wage law of 1852, will mean
an automatic increase in the
nations basic minimum wage.
One decree carried by the
Official Journal eliminated the
subsidy to the gas company, a
decision which will mean an
increase of 20 per cent in gas
rates in Paris, and 10 per cent
elsewhere in the country.
The previous government
had granted the subsidy be-
cause gas prices are one of the
factors in the index. Prices for
July will show the index up to
about $50, it was predicted.
Experts Work Overtime
Government experts. who
have feared that any rise in
the basic minimum wage would
touch of a new wave of infia-
ton, were working overtime on
measures to keep the impend-
ing change in the basic wage
rate within bounds.
Mr.. Gallards' belt-tightening
tax law included a clause au-
thorizing the government to
establish a new list of essential
items in determining what the
minimum wage should be. Ex-
perts now are at work on this
new list.

There were unconfirmed re-
ports that a family on the

Mattress Saves Woman
Eleven persons were removed
alive from the building. One
woman was pulled out yester-
day after being pinned under
q pile of wreckage for 20 hours.
A mattress which fell on her
had saved her.
Other crews were busy de-
molishing dangerously damaged
structures. Engineers inspected
others that might be perilous.
Reports from other sections
OF the country showed the only
major damage from the quake
was in a narrow area running
south from Mexico City to the
Pacific coast resort of Acapulco.
Most cities in the quake zone
frequented by American tourists
escaped without damage or cas-
ualties. These included Taxco,
Guadalajara. Morelia. Toluca,
Puebla. Oaxaca and Veracruz.
Even in Acapulco. where three
persons were killed. damage
was relatively minor. Several
old buildings collapsed at the
IcacoS Naval Base on the out
skirts of the resort.
Half Of Buildings Ruined
Chilpancingo, capital of the
state of Guerrero on the main
highway to Acapulco, suffered
the worst damage after Mexico
City. Half the buildings in the
town were ruined.
In Mexico City, 20 damaged
buildings were marked for
demolition. Twenty-one movie
houses and five theaters were
closed for inspection. There
was no pattern Of damage in
the capital. Devastated build
ings stood beside others prac-
tically intact. In some cases
the shocks leaped from one side
OF the street to the other.
In general. however the
major damage in the capital
occurred in the downtown bust
ness area rather than in the
suburban residential districts

Foggy Bottom Study

The Redevelopment Land Agency's
decision to draw immediate Federal funds
for two urban renewal" studies in Foggy
Bottom is timely action which may help
clarity that areas complex development
problems.
1t will be difficult, if not impossible,
for the RIA to propose any specific plans
about how the two areas might be devel-
oped until final decision is reached on
the route of the inner-loop expresSway
in Foggy Bottom south of Pennsylvania
avenue. In the location now approved,
the expressway would slice through the
larger renewal study area surrounding
the George Washington University be-
tween Nineteenth and Twenty-fourth
streets. If future developments should
require or justify change in the ex-
pressway route, it might we'll cut through
the second study area, to the west of
Twenty-fourth street.
BY the same token, however, there
can be only beneficial effect from ac-
emulation of all possible data on both
existing conditions and future potentials
of all areas which might be affected by
the expressway. AS Assistant Engineer
Commissioner Mathe pointed out, the
renewal studies are part of an "over-
all planning problem" in Foggy Bottom,
which includes the road location.

Great American Desert

President Eisenhower is visiting a
tragic battle-ground in his two-day tour
Of six drought Southwest States.
For in this great American desert" he
is viewing at first hand the costly and
demoralizing destruction that nature
too often aided by man himself-haS in
n1cted on vast area of nearly 90 million
acres of land. 1t is not a new problem
that is being dramatized by Mr.. EiSen-
hower'S visit. 1t is only that its impact
is bearing hardest upon a new genera
ton OF farmers and rancherS, too few
of whom remember when the severe
drought of the 193Os created the "dust
bowl" crisis Of that period.
There were lessons learned then in
land and water management but circum-
stances of the next decade-from 1910
through 1949-reSulted in many of them
being ignored. Better than average rain
fall and wartime markets for high pro-
duction brought new settlers and more
intensive cultivation of easily eroded land.
Conservation practices of proved effec-
tiveneSS were set aside as marginal grass
lands were plowed for crops or so heavily
grazed that they had no protective cover.
And when the good rains ceased in 1866
as they have done periodically in that
area since records were kept-a new time
OF crisis began. 1t has continued ever
since, with each new season meaning
an enlarged area of "scorched earth"
and crop failures that spelled economic
distress to thousands.
BY 1854, the Federal Government
had begun an emergency relief program
and substantial financial aid has been
pumped into the region since then.
Four Government departments-Agric
ture, Interior, Commerce and Health
are carrying on programs Of assistance.
The Army Corps of Engineers and the
Small Business Administration likewise
are helping. New steps to meet the
immediate distress may evolve from the
Presidents current trip. But the weather
pattern of the region-with its recurring
deficiencies of snow and rain, and It's
seasons Of high winds that whip the top
soil of in choking dust storms-will re-
main the same. To live with it, with
fewer and less disastrous crises, will re-
quire renewed efforts to devise and to
practice the techniques Of management
which conserve the land and its precious
supplies of water.
In his state-of-the- Union message,
the President called upon State and local
entities as well as private enterprise to
share this responsibility with the Fed
eral Government. The natural resources
Of the Southwest are more than a re-
gional heritage, they are part Of the
national wealth. 1t is the proper concern
of all that they should be preserved and
developed.

is, Of course, cynical appraisal Of the
average commuter-particularly those
who are DESTROYS Of fleeing Weehawken in
the late afternoon. 1t is the sort Of prac-
tice, too, that could have spreading
effects-like the widening ripples when
a stone is dropped in still pond. 1t
could lead passengers to suspect their
watches are wrong, or wives to suspect
their husbands have been dallying en-
route home. Becoming public knowledge,
it probably will lead to passengers run
ming for the $40 out of Weehawken at
5:2l. But perhaps 1t is better to have
the cards on the table, to know that when
one is late" one is ION time" and able
to shape alibis accordingly.
