partly because he already holds

ership post is that of Floor

There is some basis for q
belief that the liberals, who
are in the minority on the Re
publican side, would not put UP
a fight against Senator Salton-
stall. Although he is part of the
present leadership. the MaSSa-

One source suggested today
that some of the more con-

If the liberals should decide
to put on a campaign for some
one openly identified with their

i. 5. Sues Ford
On Purchase
Of Auto|ite
Antitrust Case
Filed to Prevent
Less Competition
By DAVID S. BRODER
Star staff Writer

The Justice Department to-
day filed an antitrust suit in
Detroit against the Ford Motor
Co.'S purchase of the plant,
sales facilities and "Autolite'
trade name of the Electric
Autolite Co.
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy said the $28 million
transaction, announced last
spring, would substantially les
sen competition in the manu-
facture and sale of spark plugs
and other automotive parts.
The civil antitrust suit filed
in q Detroit Federal District
Court names both Ford and
Electric Autolite as defendants.
The suit alleges that the sale
of Autolite facilities and trade
name last April IL violated sec
ton T Of the Clayton Antitrust
Act, known as the Celler-Ke-
fauver Amendment.
Acquisitions by Ford
In that deal, Fofd acquired
the "Autolite" trade name, the
firms sparkplug plant at
Fortoria, Ohio, its battery
factory at OwoSso, Mich, and
most Of its sales organization.
Before this transaction, the
suit said, Electric Autolite was
one Of the country's biggest
independent suppliers Of auto
parts. 1t manufactured and
sold a full line of automotive
electric products, including
batteries, generators, spark
plugs, electrical motors. instru-
ments, and ignition systems,
under the "Autolite" name.
Autolite, the Champion Spark
Plug Co. and General Motors
produced more than 80 per cent
of all spark plugs turned out in
this country last year, the
Government said.
The complaint alleged that
Ford manufactures most OF its
own raw materials and COM
ponent parts, but before the
Autolite acquisitions. it pur-
chased its spark plugs and bat
teries from independent COM
panieS.
Effect on Competition
The complaint said that this
purchase may tend to eliminate
Electric Autolite as an "im-
portant competitive factor" IN
the auto parts field and lessen
competition in that area.
Mr.. Kennedy said the suit
also charged that Ford's s,OO0
dealers have been shut off as
possible outlets for independ-
ent suppliers as a result Of the
Autolite purchase.
The suit asks that Ford be
required to divest itself of the
'unlawfully acquired assets of
Electric Autolites'

Ban A-Tests Now
Russia Urges West.
Allies Wory,

OF Control

MOSCOW, Nov. rs (AP).-
The Soviet Union proposed to-
day that the United States,
Britain and France agree with
it now to ban all nuclear tests.
First Western reaction was
skeptical since the Soviet pro-
posal seemed to call for an un-
limited and uncontrolled test
moratorium.
The proposal was made on
the eve of the resumption Of
nuclear test ban talks in
Geneva by the Soviet Union,
Britain and the United States.
France, the fourth nuclear
power, is not a participant but
a Soviet statement said the
time has come to invite the
French.
The Russians released a pro-
posed our-article draft agree
ment and in an accompanying
statement hinted they may
resume tests if France does.
Under the Soviet proposal the
four powers would agree to halt
tests in the atmosphere, under
water and in outer space. The
argument was that each power
now has the means of detecting
such tests and cheating would
be impossible.
Given to Press First
The four powers also would
undertake not to hold nuclear
weapons tests underground
while negotiating an agreement
on a control system that could
detect such blasts.
The proposal was delivered
to the press but the embassies
Immediately involved-the Brit
ish, American and French
were not called in. Neutral ma
tions, however, were invited to
send representatives to the
foreign office for a fillin on
the proposal.
The first Western reaction in
Moscow was that it was aimed
to end atmospheric tests now
that the Russians had COM
pleted theirs and would tie up
underground tests for an in
definite period until an agree
ment could be reached on
means of detecting them
That amounted to giving the
Soviet Union a virtual veto over
the kind of tests the United
States is now carrying out. The
United States says it will con-
tinue underground tests regard
less of the resumption of nego-
tiationS at Geneva.
Allies Want Treaty
The United States and Brit
ain declared in advance of the
resumption of talks at Geneva
that they will not again agree
to a moratorium on tests until
a treaty is signed.
The Geneva treaty talks COL
lapsed in September when the
Russians abruptly ended a vol.
untary moratorium by launch
ing a series of atmospheric
tests.
Qn Geneva, informed sources
said the proposal is unaccept-
able to the West. The two
Western delegates to the re-
newed talks, Arthur H. Dean
Of the United States and Sir
Michael Wright Of Britain, de-
clined comment pending study
of the statement.
(Western sources at the con-
ference said the Soviet plan
appeared to be an unlimited
and uncontrolled moratorium
on testing such as the United
States and Britain have re-
peatedly rejected.

FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

DEADLINE: Short story
writer o. Henry, a procras-
tinator without peer, always
delivered his stories at the
last possible moment. He
had a sixth sense about
headlines which enabled him
to get a manuscript into an
editors hand only seconds
before the latter was about
to blow his lid.
At one time, O. Henry was
under contract to write a
story a week for the old New
York World. His copy had to
be in the office at midnight
on Monday, but by Monday
evening he usually hadn't a
word on paper, and the
ky countdown would
begin.
The editor, ready to ex-
plode, would seethe at his
desk while he frantically
dispatched messengers to
the writer's home to prod
him into action.
After enduring this for
some months, the editor
decided to change the dead
line to Wednesday mid
night - without telling o.
Henry. 1t was a tightly
guarded secret and he COM
plimented himself on his
cleverneSS. But the following
week o. Henry delivered his
story at midnight Wednes-
day.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Zeal, Not Money, Is Motivation
By DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I
think you have a heart and
some feeling for poor old
sick folks. I want to know
what you think of doctors
who just keep us from dy-
ing.
They do not help us to
live; they prolong our death.
I could have been out of my
suffering long ago if they
had let me die. Instead, I
have to be rushed to the
hospital, fed in the veins,
have catheter in kidney,
just to put off dying.
1t is hard on my son, and
I guess his wife hates me. I
see her side, as no one wants
an old sick person around.
I have done my bit, and if
it is money, which I think it
is, doctors could get enough
treating younger people.
Old-time folks were al
lowed to die. Now, the new
chaps do not help us to
really live, just will not let
us die. I think it is not only
inhuman, but wicked to
keep US suffering like that.
Mrs. G., N. c.
AS understand your let
ter, there's not only a ques-
ton of euthanasia here, but
also one of medical eco
nomicS. Let's leave the prob
lem of economics to some
future discussion of medical
care for the aged. But be-
fore dropping it entirely,
agree that the terminal
stages of dying are sometimes
a back-breaking economic
load for the living. In many
cases of hopeless, incurable
disease, laboratory tests and
llfe-prolonging procedures
seem cruel and unneces-
sarily expensive.
However, Mrs. G., you
mustn't forget that we doc
tors are not little gods. 1t
isn't in our province to pass
judgment on each patients
life-stay. Inbred in us, since

To skip, or not to skip?
Some school administra-
tors snudder at the ques-
ton. Not that it is good or
bad. It's just a matter of
too many strong opinions.
Someone will object either
way.
The most common objec-
ton seems to be that if
Johnny is skipped a grade
he will miss fundamentals
and this will handicap him
in the future. The other
side presents evidence that
most fundamentals are re-,
peated year after year. They
point out that if he is good
enough to skip. he is already
ahead. A little help from
the teacher will solve the
problem quickly.
Equally common is the
objection that placing a
child ahead for a year will
put him with an older group
of children. This, it is said,
will tend to make him a
social misfit. Silly" says
the other side. Most classes
cover a two-year age spread
without trouble. Besides, if
the child will be a misfit in
one class he was probably a
miSfit in the other. Nor
mally, he is thinking more
like the older group than
the younger.
FreSenLS ffOOlemS
AS an alternative, people
who object to acceleration
recommend that the regular
class program be enriched"
for the gifted. So do we all.
This m e ans broadening
the learnings suggested by
the course of study. I'm
fortunately, it also means.
Don't teach him anything
he'll get next year" Other
wise, the next teacher will
have all kinds of problems.
This enrichment idea
sounds good. 1t also works
very well. especially for some
subjects In social studies
and reading it is possible
to work out an individual
program in the subject that
allows for real progress.
Not so easy is the arith-
metic problem. Mastery of
both fundamentals and con-
ceptS up to grade level
leaves little to be done with
out interfering with the next
years work. II takes an

lege four days each week

about the job.

not to stay in a New Eng

of success takes a heavy
toll, a study by two New

They impaired 139
young college and high

$6,000-to-$10,000 jobs and
found that the group with
the less education had
more illnesses and more
risk of death during any
year.
Why? The high school
group had generally start
ed lower and thus had
more domestic, financial,

had met more challenges,
