Are Federal employees. in fact

charges by employees and men,

ern strife. Israelis in all walks
Of life voice these conclusions:
First. the Arabs, because OF
their past history, refuse to face
reality and will not act in their
own national self-interest.
Second. the Arabs will never
be persuaded by normal diplo-
matte methods that they must
live in peace with Israel.
Third. Israel will not volun-
tarily disappear from the map
Of the Middle East nor tolerate
Arab short-o f-war aggressions.
Fourth. if the Middle East is
to be made a peaceful area
necessary for the well-being OF
the Arabs, the Israelis and the
Western World, then someone
must force the Arabs to make
peace.
Seen Obligation Of L. S.
When asked how this force
should be applied and by whom,
the answers eventually boil down
TO this: The job may be done by
pushing Egypt to economic ruin,
but more probably Cairo will
have to be taken by foreign
troops and the present govern
ment toppled. Israel must he
ready to do the job herself, but
under existing circumstances the
obligation really is Americas.
All this should not be con-
strued to mean Israel is a blood :

the jugular vein Of her neigh

Israelis talk about and yearn tor

Scheduled Today on

BY GARRETT ID. HORNER

fuckers TOWN, Bermuda,
Mar. 23.-"Generally satisfac-
tory" top level British-American
conference wound up here today
with emphasis on building up
the free worlds defenses with
nuclear weapons and guided mis-
siles.
President Eisenhower and
British Prime Minister MacMil-
Ian had several long talks alone
as their Observation-Disclosures
atomic advisers worked out Sec
ret details of agreements con-
corning atomic age strategy for
defense against any Soviet ag-
erosion.
One report said they had
reached agreement on IL points,
one of them having to do with
American supply to Britain of
guided missiles.
Secretary of State Dulles and
British Foreign Minister Lloyd
also concluded with what their
spokesman called a gratifying
measure of agreement" confer
ence discussions aimed at har-
monizing future Anglo-Ameri-
can policies in efforts to ease
the powder keg tensions in the
Middle East.
Presidential Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty and British
Foreign Office Spokesman Peter
Hope told newsmen, in an other
wise almost newsless briefing
this afternoon, that the Ber-
muda Big Two talks have been
generally satisfactory"
COmmunique Due Today
They refused to discuss any
details of agreements and re-
naming differences, however
pending issuance of the confer
ence communique which was de-
layed until z am. tomorrow

Secretary Dulles, Mr.. Lloyd
and other advisers were drafting
at a working session this after
noon the joint statement to con-
clude officially the conference
But they did not expect to have
it ready for approval by the
President and Prime Minister
until after dinner tonight.
Mr.. Hagerty said the British
and Americans had agreed /
therefore to hold UP issuance OF
the communique until tomorrow.
Presumably they did so because
the time differential would mean
that a late night news break
here would miss London Sunday
newspaper headlines.

the People" broadcast. But the
city owes debt of gratitude to
the members of the House APP
preparations Committee.
He particularly mentioned the
regular attendance at budget
sessions of Representative Ra-
baut and Representative Match
er, Democrat of Kentucky, and
the keen, analytical attention
they brought to the budget dis
cussions.
$44 Million for Schools
The record District budget is
the first to exceed the 5000 mil
lion mark. 1t represents an in
crease of $8.5 million over the
current fiscal year.
1t would provide nearly $44
million for schools. the largest
single item. It also proposes
$22.6 million for new highway
construction, $4.6 million for
water works and So million for
sanitary sewers.
A total of $47.4 million is re-
quested to finance city construc-
ton in the fourth year of the
public works program.
City officials have explained
that the record budget poses no
need for new taxes
since the spending program is
balanced against estimated rev.
enues by plans to use up $6.6
in SURPRISES from pre-
vious years, by requests for S16.8
in Federal loans and by a
request for an appropriation of
the S23 million which Congress
has authorized as an annual Fed
eral payment to the Districts
general fund.

BASED on previous expert

He said the subcommittee in

lowed for the public to present

In setting aside tomorrow only

said Senator Mcclellan, Demo-

The Senator said the select

unable to find any records indi-
eating the $270.000 was a loan.

Senator Mcclellan declined to
characterize the Beck transact

organizations in advance of
Beck's appearance before the
committee at 10 am. Tuesday.
Expect to See Records
He added that the committee
is going on the assumption that
Beck will turn over. as ordered.
his personal financial records for
inspection. If he does not, the
Senator said, this action will
receive the immediate atten-
ton of the committee.
Committee Counsel Robert r.
Kennedy said Beck could expe-
dite the investigation by turn
ing over his records.
IF he doesn't" Mr.. Kennedy
added. II feel we will be able
to prove certain facts showing
misuse of union funds.
I'VE can show that he took
approximately S27o,000 from

ants and chairman of the West

/ Brewster testified Friday he
already has given the conference
a warranty deed against all of
his properties to assure repay
ment of union funds he acknowl-
edged were used to pay some of
his personal bills.
Mr.. Case said the teamsters
should impose a trust" through
court action on Becks proper
ties to recover not only any
lamounts he may owe but any
profits he may have reaped from
the loans"
Il suggest these profits right
fully belong to the union on the
familiar principle that one who
is in position of trust and con-
fidence may not profit from
abuse of his position" Mr.. Case
said. He added this has been
upheld by the courts.
Senator Case said the union
also has clear duty" to take
similar action in Brewster's case.
Brewster, the senator said, was
guilty of gross abuse" of power
in the union, utterly failed to
measure up" to trusts and re-
.sponsibilities vested in him. and
patiently preached the obliga-
tons of trustee for several
