Rules Relaxed
On Red Trade

LONDON, July 26 (P.-Fif-
teen allied nations have decided
to sweep away nearly half their
curbs on strategic trade with
the Communist bloc. informed
diplomats reported last night.
This big cutback has been
coupled with a drastic relaxa-
ton of rules governing allied
trade with the Communists.
Informants said the changes
were agreed on during allied
negotiations nearing compile
ton in Paris. The agreements
were said to have become poss-
ible after the United States
yielded to the pressures of her
export-hungry allies.
Full extent of the relaxations
will be published around mid
August after the United States
Congress has recessed. But the
British government may issue
IA statement within a week an
nouncing the general result Of
the Paris negotiations.
The Communist nations will
be free to buy nearly 100 items
of manufactured goods and raw
materials previously banned as
war potential. These range
from small oil tankers and
fisher vessels to electroniC
equipment and plants for pro-
ducing chemicals.
British government Spokes-
men refused comment or
details of the report but con-
firmed a large measure Of
agreement was reached in Paris
InfOrmants said the allied
understanding enviSageS two
master lists to regulate future
patterns of East-West trade.
One will comprise goods and
materials to be banned to the
Reds. 1t will include military
equipment, weapon making
machines, materials used in
nuclear weapon production, ad-
vanced scientific equipment and
the like.
The other list will consist Of
goods that can be sold to the
Reds subject to some condi-
lions. Scarce raw materials. fol
example, could be sold in
limited quantities. Only small
not-too-fast ships could b.
exportable.

Bold Aid Plan Called
Major Fonfoni Goal

one drafted by Italian Foreign
Minister Giuseppe Pella last
year which failed to win United
States backing.
What Mr.. Fanfani repeatedly
wants is an American pledge
to support the principle Of a
multi-nation economic program
for the Middle East in partner
ship with Mideast governments.
The United States is looked
upon as the one to foot most
of the bills.
Mr.. Fanfani's reasoning is
that Arab countries such as
Egyptian President Nasser's
United Arab Republic would be
far more willing to accept aid
from an international program
Of this kind rather than strictly
United States assistance, which
they fear might commit them
in the East-West struggle.
Could Join Two Plans
Some authorities believe
President Eisenhower could tie
such a Joint development pro-
gram to a United States offer
to provide large-scale aid to de-
velop water resources in areas
where more than one country
would be benefited.
Prime Minister Fanfani also
is expected to take up two other
issues: New moves for Western
European unity and closer con-
sultation on allied pact men,
bers in cultural, economic and
foreign policy fields.
President Eisenhower is to
be host at q White House lunch
con for Prime Minister Fan
FAM a few hours after he ar
rives Tuesday. Most Of the de-
tailed talking, however, will be
with Secretary Dulles at the
State Department. Two formal
dinners, one given by Mr.,
Dulles and the other by Italian
Ambassador Manlio BroSio al
ready are on the schedule.
Mr.. Fanfani also has tenta-
lively scheduled calls on Sec
tary Of Defense McElroy and
Secretary of the Treasury An
derson as well as top United
States foreign aid executives
He will address q National

Chances Grow
For Passage
OF Farm Bill


A Top-heavy Senate vote
revived prospects today that
this session OF Congress will
pass a limited farm bin tailored

passed the Senate last night by
a lopsided Call margin after
three days and nights Of some
times bitter debate. II now goes

cllned 10 consider q measure OF

As passed by the Senate. the
bill generally would provide for

also would be authorized.

"a victory for sound principles
and a long step in the direction
of greater freedom for the Ma
tons farmers"
Il hope this measure viii now
be passed quickly by the House
without being endangered by

Benson said In a statement.
A previous farm bill passed
by the Congress, designed to
freeze farm price supports, was
vetoed by President Eisenhower
on March 81. He said TO sign
the bill would be Ill advised,

misses written into the new bill
Senator Ellender. Democrat OF
Louisiana, chairman Of the
Senate Agriculture Committee,
succeeded in limiting the meas
ure to provisions known to fit
with Secretary Benson's poll
cies.
Would Scrap Some Controls
For example, 1t would scrap
past unsuccessful attempts to
control production of corn and
other livestock feed grains. in
GLIDING grain sorghums, oats
rye and barley.
Instead, the bill would pro-
vide Mr.. Benson with more
flexible authority to lower the

New School Head

Arlington County is fortunate In OBJ
tanning the services of widely known,
experienced educator as successor to
T. Edward Rutter, who recently resigned
from the SUPPLEMENTARY of the county's
school system. Ray E. Reid, who has
been Virginia's assistant superintendent
of public instruction since 1851, will
undertake the difficult Arlington assign
ment with the unanimous approval Of
the countys not always unanimous
school board. Certainly the new super
intendent will need all the support he
can get in administering the county
school system at this critical period,
marked by racial litigation, debate over
educational methods and other unrest.
That Mr.. Reid received the votes Of
both liberal and conservative members
Of the divided school board was not
surprising, in view of his long record
as dedicated public servant who has
demonstrated outstanding qualities as
a teacher, a principal and school adj
ministrator. He is on friendly terms not
only with State officials in Richmond
but with members of the Legislature
a real asset for one whose school sys-
tenn WIN be under close scrutiny in the
months ahead. Mr.. Reid will enter upon
his new duties with the best wishes Of
the whole community.

Unconstitutional?

The foreign aid program,
inspired by Britain and
started by Truman. has now
heen part of American for
eign policy for more than
ten years. 1t has cost the
American people many bill
lions of dollars. Yet nobody
has seriously raised the point
that 1t is quite unconstitu-
tional.
President Eisenhower said
recently; "Parenthetically, I
remind everyone that 80 cents
Of every dollar we spend for
mutual aid does not 60 to for
eign lands. It goes to work
right here at home. That
means hundreds Of thousands
Of jobs for American work
ers. 1t means large outlets for
American machinery, iron
and steel, farm goods.
chemicals and motor vehi-
eles."
In other words. many bill
lions of dollars are spent to
pay American labor to work
on American goods for for
eign countries. This is a per-
version Of the right granted
Congress to collect taxes to
provide for the general welr
fare Of the United States"
