Reds Miss Opportunity
The Russians had an oppor-
tunity to trump in on Mr.. Eisen-
hower's hand. The Eisenhower
doctrine, for example. did not
say it would resist any aggres-
sion in the Middle East. but
singled out only aggression from
a Communist-dominated source
The Arabs found this a weakness
of the Presidents declaration.
The Russians could have said
they would intervene in the
event Of any aggression at all
in the Middle East. That would
mean in case of any invasion
such as that of last october
But the statement did not say
this. The Russians and Chinese
got around it by saying they
were ready to continue to give
the necessary support to the
peoples of the Near and Middle
East in order to prevent agrees
sion and interference in the af-
fairs of countries of this area. u
The word continue" indicates
they will go on doing about what
they have been doing. This does
not mean risking World War III.

Judges Studying
Bureau Changes

In the wake Of a closed-door
inquiry, Arlington's Circuit Court
judges today were studying pos
Isible changes in the Violation
Bureaus operations.
A string of witnesses ques-
toned in chambers yesterday in
Icluded special justices at the
bureau along with county at
Itorneys.
Neither the purpose of the all
day session nor its result was
made public. Then senior Cir
cult Court judge, Walter T. Nc
Carthy. said he expects to have
another session on the matter
within few days.
However. other sources said
Ione of the special justices is
under fire on the question of i'm
proper practices. The actions
Iof this man. who. they said. is
still on the payroll, repeatedly
set of the inquiry. Judge Nc
ICarthy declined to comment on
these reports.
The special justices are ap-
pointed by the Circuit Court
and have the authority to grant
bond and issue warrants. In
addition, they are tied in with
the county Trial Justice Court
through clerical and admins
Itrative duties.
In answer TO a question. Judge
Mccarthy said no action has
yet been taken by the three
jurists.
He also said it was unlikely
there would be further question:
ing. The judges probably will
confer on the information re-
Iceived, he said.
The Violation Bureau was
established in 1854. Up until
then, collateral could be posted
with the Police Department.

Treasury Reported
Split on Bond Rate
BY the Associated Press

Government sources say Treas
ury officials are divided on
whether to recommend that Con-
gress increase the present 3 per
cent interest rate on United
States savings bonds.
The Department has been
faced recently with strong de-
mands in and out of Congress
for an increase as sales declined
on some types of Government
bonds. The general rise of in
terest rates has made other in
Ivestments more attractive.
There were no indications to-
day when a decision might be
reached. Earlier this week. Sec
lretary of the Treasury Humphrey
said. I'VE will have a permanent,
and definite statement before

Family Of Six
Perish in Fire

POCAHONTAS, Va, Jan. 10
(Pl.-Fire, believed touched off
by an overheated flue passing
through a wall, roared through
a four-room frame home near
here last night, wiping out a
family of six.
Nearby residents in this South
west Virginia coal mining area
said the interval between the
time the flames were noticed ano
the house was consumed could
be measured in moments.
The dead were identified as
Roy Bostic. IS; his wife. Imo-
gene, IS, and their four daugh-
tiers, Alice May. g.; Barbara Sue.
Z; Mary Ellen, S. and Wanda
Sue. 3.
The bodies of the four little
girls were found in their beds
while their parents bodies were
on the floor in another room.
All were burned beyond recog-
milton.
Sheriff E. P. McGlothlin of
Tazewell County said it was pos
sible the fire began in an over
heated fiue passing through the
wall of the f1imsy structure. He
said from the positions of the
bodies. it was probable the vic
Tins had been overcome by
smoke before the flames reached
them.
A nearby resident said he was
preparing to go to bed when he
saw flames coming from the
house. Within a few minutes,
he said, the building was de-
stroyed.
The nearest telephone to the
section of TaZewell County. prac-
tically on the West Virginia line.
is z miles away. From the
speed with which the flames
spread. officials said. even if
there had been a way to sum-
mon help Immediately. there
probably would have been Moth
ing that could have been done
to save either the structure or
the occupants.

the Middle East countries.
1t reflects fright at the situa-
ton now confronting the world
Communist movement. There is
in it even a threat to repeat the
lesson of Hungary wherever the
Russians find it necessary in the
satellite world.
The statement attempts to link
what it calls the "imperialist ag-
lgressive attack" by Britain,
France and Israel against Egypt,
with "suhversive activities 81
which allegedly led to the re-
valuation against Russian domi-
nation in Hungary.
Reds Show Worries
In doing this, the Russians
and their Chinese allies show
their worries. They issue a clear
warning to the Poles. for ex-
ample, that any uprising there
will be dealt with in the manner
Of Hungary. The statement pic
lures the West as conspirine
against the Soviet Union COM
munism and peace. and adds
ominously:
Faced with these designs, il
is necessary to be vigilant. The
USSR and China are bound with
all Socialist countries by fra
ternal friendship and mutual as
sistance obligations. And pro-
vocative actions of the i'm
perialist aggressive forces, di-
Irected toward undermining the
Socialist (Communist) countries

cisive rebuff"
