Education Aid

Chairman Powell of the House

added, however, that this might

think he is coming around to
that view"
Mr.. Powell said a bill of the
kind he has in mind would
necessarily have to be a COM
promise and might not satisfy
everybody" He remarked that
in any event nothing will hap
pen until after the foreign aid
bill is passed"
Mr.. Powell said that in order
to get a compromise bill through
the House limited mainly to aid
for Federally- -impacted areas
and possibly some general
school construction assistance
leaders might have to make an
informal bargain with the Sen

Suit, Name

In a suit filed in Municipal
Court Tuesday against Ross
Rosenberg, two purchasers of
an auto charged they were de-
frauded.
Plaintiffs are Jonah L. Mill

James w. Fleming, 80, a park
ing lot attendant, of the same
address. They are brothers-in-
law and bought the car TO-

They contend in their suit
that when they purchased a
1858 Ford sedan August 19,

that the car cost $2,195, and
that after a trade in and down
payment, the balance would be
$500.

his tactics" they were induced
to sign various promissory notes
in blank and that the total
cost OF the auto was $3,818.
They allege it was fraud
hen Rosenberg promised
them, knowing his statements
to be false, that the written
agreement would correspond to
their oral understanding of the
deal.

compensatory damages and
$3.50 in punitive damages, in
valuation of both the sale and
the promissory notes, and what
ever other relief the court feels
appropriate. They demand a

The diplomatic phase of Presi-

tempo today with the departure
for Paris Of a United States

retary of State Foy D. Kohler
Mr.. Kohler and a half dozen
aides will meet with diplomatic
teams from Britain, West Ger
many and France to do ad-
vance work on the Western Big
-Four foreign ministers confer
ence to be held in Paris Au-
gust 5-8. Secretary of State
Rusk leaves for the French
capital next week.
At Paris, the Western foreign
affairs chiefs will go over a
broad range of the strategies
aimed at keeping West Berlin
out of Communist hands.
News Session Called
In advance of Mr.. Kohler's
takeoff, Mr.. RuSk scheduled q
news conference at which re-
porters planned to ask about
further steps in Mr.. Kennedy's
broad program of counter meas
ureS against the world wide
Communist treat.
From Mr.. Kennedy's stand
point, a major task is to get
the North Atlantic Treaty allies
to step up their defense efforts
too. The allies have responded
favorably to Mr.. Kennedy's
ideas, but it remains to be seen
what action they will take.
The President hoped that his
increase Of United States de-
tense levels by $3,454,6 600, 900
and 217,000 men would serve
as inspiring leadership to the
IA NATO partners.
And as an added lever in
working up a stiffer NATO de-
fense, he has left vague the
exact amount of extra contri-
button the United States is will
ing to put into the combined
effort.
1t was understood that there
is no present intention to send
and additional United States
Army division to Europe, al
though some more American
military men are headed for
Europe on combat-Support as
signmentS. And there were in
dications some modern United
States military equipment would
be sent to Europe.
United States officials also
were sympathetic toward help
ing Britain in the NATO stepup
because of the financial pre-
dicament which has forced the
English into an austerity pro-
gram.
Mr.. Kennedy has made plain
that he wants the NATO ma
tions to hasten fulfillment of
the long-unmet NATO goals of
30 divisions. NATO's existing
strength is % divisions.
