Talk Of impending intervention

to the U. N. evaluation of the

Atomic Club:

A development Of great signif-

and particularly to the future Of
the North Atlantic Alliance was
the top subject Of high-level talks

with the test Of the first French
made atomic bomb. The present
members Of the club. the United
States, the Soviet Union and Brit
ain, wish no new members, but
are in no position to blackball the
Paris application.
A week ago British Prime Min

Foreign Aid:

Despite laSt-minute personal
appeal by President Eisenhower,
the House of Representatives on
Wednesday sustained the slash in
foreign aid funds made by the
Appropriations Committee. All
administration efforts to restore

committee failed. Then the
House passed the $3,07e, ,092, 500
measure by a 253 to 126 vote and
sent 1t to the Senate, where pros
poets are good that at least some
OF the slash viii be restored.

with the FTC over misiabeling
practices as early as 1912.
In Thursdays questions and
answers, it was brought out that
the FTC wrote TO one Of Mr..
Goldfine's mills about alleged mis-
labelling on June 25, 1852. The
FrC wrote again on December IL,
1852, and then six months later
on June 10, 1883, wrote that still
no reply had been. received. On
November II, the testimony re-
evaled. the mill replied to the FTC,
the letter resulting in another let
ter from the FTC asking for fn-
formation on fabrics the mill was
producing and for a list Of its
customers.
1t was this letter that Mr.. Gold
fine complained to Mr.. Adams
about and which led to Mr..
Adams request for information
on the matter from the FTc. The
FTC subsequently dropped its
complaint on condition that the
mills promise to stop mislabeling
its fabrics.
But there was something else
that seemed to interest the COM
mittee even more; even more than
the gifts to Government employees
or the history Of disputes between
the FTC and Goldfine mills.
This was the mystery Of ST76,-
S79,l6 worth Of treasurer's checks
and certified checks, some Of
them going back to l94l, which
were bought by Goldfine interests
but which have never been eashed.
Mr.. Lishman pressed Mr.. Gold
fine to reveal why the checks.
which. unlike ordinary commercial
checks, may be held as long as
the bank they are drawn on re-
mains in existence. were bought
and why they had not been cashed.
Mr.. Goldfine did not agree with
the amount involved, explaining
that some Of them had been re-
deposited and others had never
been given out by the company.
He refused to discuss the individ-
ual checks, maintaining that the
matter was not relevant 70 the
investigation.
