Senate Study Rules Out
First Secretary" Aide
To The US. President

WASHINGTON, R-A Senate
study says there is no place in
US. governmental machinery for
''first secretary" to aid the Pre-
sident.
Proposals which were consid-
cred would provide for such a
secretary out-ranking other cab
met members and supervising
major operations of the govern
ment.
1.-THE President of the United
States cannot be relieved of his
burdens by supplying him with
a deputy to do what only he
can do" said a staff report from
the Senate subcommittee on ma
tional policy-making machinery.
It's chairman, Sen. Henry M.
Jackson, D-Wash., expressed the
personal view that creation of the
new post might add to the Pre-
sident's policy-making burdens
rather than reducing them.
President Eisenhower has been
expected to recommend some
such proposal as part of his pro-
missed plan for recognizing the
government. The idea came from
New York Gov. Nelson A. Rookie
Teller, who headed a presidential
advisory committee on the sub
ject.

Ford Plan to Buy British
Subsidiary Will Add To

WASHINGTON, R-The gov
ernment's battle to stem the gold
drain and reduce this country's
balance of payments deficit will
get 1907 million jolt if the Ford
Motor Co. goes through with its
plan to buy Ford of England.
The gold drain stems directly
from the payments deficit, which
represents the difference between
the amount that Americans pay
out abroad and the amount re-
ceived from foreign sources. AS
foreigners collect more dollars
than they pay out, they use some
to buy American gold.

offering 1851 million for complete
control of its British affiliate,

If the deal GOES through, most
Of the 1851 million will be paid
to foreigners since they own most
of the shares which US, Ford
wants to buy. This would add

Tay John, a corruption of

the offspring of a forbidden

to temptation and stole a
woman who belonged to a

But for Connolly, the siege
was torment. Never able to
resign himself to his fate, he
constantly plotted ways to
kill Frick and escape. He
tore up Wilson's writings, he
dared Frick to shoot him, he
started a hunger strike.
He stared at the bleak

This thoughtful books main
value is in the clarity of it's
vision where ruthless COM
munism is growing in China
and where it has been. Con-
f1icting currents in Red Chi
nese history have obscured
her course for most casual
observers. The United States

through the Council of For
eign Relations. Mr.. Barnett
has synthesized their views.
There is little prospect, the
book concludes, either for an
overthrow of the Peiping re-
gime from within or for a
return to the mainland by
the NationaliStS. Red China's
rate of economic growth
now appears to be almost
double that of India and in a
few years Peking will prob
ably have built a base of
heavy industries overshadow-
ing that of Japan"
Red China's military
strength is growing faster
than all the countries of
Asia combined, Mr.. Barnett
finds. Expansion efforts to
the south are virtually in
evitable, and probably will
get support from the Soviet
Union, the book reports.

Nightmares in which he
peered at himself in his
coffin.
But most Of all, he was
preoccupied by memories of
his wife and child.
The strange little Frick
constantly outwitted his pris-
oners. He fed them, mended
their clothes, cleaned their
cell and played the phono-
graph for them. Dressed in
uniform he maintained the
fiction that Germany was
winning the war. outside, he
still met secretly with un-
repentant Nazis.
But a heat wave was
Frick's undoing, and led to
the Britons' release. Once
they learned the truth, they
took their time about re-
turning to their old lives.
When they did, again it was
easy for Wilson and torture
for Connolly. And their
departure was a shock for
Frick, also, but he made a
simple adjustment as the
story closes with a surprising
twist.
