Signing Asked
For Farm Bill
BY the Associated Press

A group of Republican Sena-
tors asked President Eisen-
hover in person today not to
veto a farm price support
freeze bill. They reported later
they got a sympathetic" hear
ing but no promises.
Republican Senators Aiken
Of Vermont, Allott of Colorado,
Carlson of Kansas, Mundt of
South Dakota and Young of
North Dakota took to the
White House a plea that Mr..
Eisenhower sign a measure
which would hold Government
supports on major crops at
1857 levels or higher for an
other year.
The five represented Senate
Republicans, who voted 17-14

urge the President not to kill

the measure by substantial
margins but not by a vote

veto.

to civil service employees and
military personnel as well as
the current demand Of the
United Auto Workers for in

recent weeks may indicate that
harder times do in fact lie
ahead for Britain.
The Italians have a growing
unemployment problem, but, as
Europeans point out, they al
ways do. Italy has been export
ing surplus workers to other
European countries through the

This safety valve has its
limits, and the Italians fear the

German Situation
Business is a little soft in
Germany. Coal mining is the
first danger spot. A surplus
stock has grown to the point
where mine owners don't know
if they can keep their workers
on the job in future months.
Cheap coal imports from the
United States add to the prob
lem. In fact, low-cost Ameri-
can coal is giving trouble
throughout the coal-steel heart
of Europe.
Meanwhile. both coal and
steel workers in Germany
threaten to strike for more pay
after many long years of sub
ordinating their own wishes to
the nationwide task of post
war recovery. Several steel
mills have cut back production
in recent weeks. however, so

down, so business must be up.
AS a matter of fact, it is diff
cult to find any repercusSions
in Europe from the American
recession. There are soft spots
In the economies here. There is
worry about the future. But
Europe is not on the slide.
EurOpe's Two Worries
Europe has come through two
postwar American recessions
without serious trouble, and
Europeans hope they will make
it through this one. They have
two worries. however:
First, there seems to be a.
slump in many widely scattered
spots in the world. If a real
worldwide recession develops,
Europe's vital export trade
could suffer.
Second. if the American re-
ceSSion becomes a depression,
1t will then doubtless spread to
Europe.
France. Britain and Italy are
having the biggest financial
troubles Of European states.
But there is no cry of alarm
in those countries.
France should be the most
worried. but it isn't. France
went broke in foreign exchange
at the end of last year. Prices
were jumping, and the value of
the franc was f1uctuating at
around 470 and 480 to the dol
lar, instead of the legal 400.
French Prices Stabilized
But $500 million in hard cur
rency loans from her European
and American friends stopped
the tumble toward disaster. She
now has enough foreign ex-I
change to buy what she needs
during this year. Prices have
stabilized, and the franc has
hardened to around $50.
France still is living outside
her income, however. and there
is no politically feasible way Of
economizing. So the financial
crisis presumably will return in
a year or so, no matter what the
world economy does.
If depression comes 1t will
have to be worldwide. not just
American, to damage France
seriously. France does just Z
per cent Of its export trade with
the United States. But If the
American slump spreads to the
rest of the world, France would
suffer heavily. as is per cent
Of this country's gross national
income comes from its world
trade.
The Algerian war and the
perpetual government crisis
have taken Frances mind tenn
porarily off her economic trou-
bles. however.
Britain Expects Pinch
Britain has seldom been as
strong economically in the
postwar years. but her econom-
lists are almost as worried as
Detroit bankers. For Britain
sees a financial pinch ahead
with little room to maneuver
around it.
Britain is trying to be the
the world banker and support
an acceptable standard OF liv-
ing land military preparedness)
on limited capital. If she spends
too much at home she loses for
eign exchange and loses the
confidence Of world investors in
the pound sterling. If she has
a foreign exchange crisis, she
has to tighten UP on home
economy
So If there is a recession in
Britain, she cannot prime the
pump or cut taxes with ease
that would increase spending
and deplete foreign exchange
reserves. On the other hand, If
there is a world trade crisis and
the British bank runs short, the
taxpayers cannot be told, in
time Of recession, to tighten
their belts again.
There is some unemployment
In Britain now-mostly in weak
industries like maritime ship
ping and coal mining. A down.

mood to fight it out with the
workers.
In Belgium there also is q

This listing of soft spots
should not overbalance the
overall picture. however. Eu-

clouds of dispute with the
Sudan. Egyptians and Syrians
voted today to join their coun-
tries in the United Arab Repub-

Egyptian officials planned to

ers in disputed areas along the
SudaneSe border despite OBJ

Five hours after the end of
