CONSTANTINE BROWN
European Diplomats Reported Puzzled
Over Official and Unofficial Missions

son for a demand for direct
negotiations between West
Germany and the Soviet IN
ion from a large segment Of
German public opinion and
politicians, including the
leader of the Liberal Party,
DR.. Mende, on whose support
depends the life of Chancellor
Adenauer's government.
It took the whole prestige
of the veteran Adenauer to in
duce the German government
to reject the latest Soviet ap-
proach for direct negotiations.
But there are many in Bonn
who ask themselves whether
this prestige will be suffici-
ent to thwart another Krem-
lin effort if the Salinger mis-
sion to Moscow does some
thing other than improve
communications.
There is even more puzzle
ment over our attitude to-
ward the Dutch, who have
tried to reinforce their weak
garrison in New Guinea, than
over our stand in the Congo
and our lack of reaction when
India pushed the Portuguese
out Of Goa. The situation in
West Irian, from the point
of view of the European dip
lomats, is far more clear than
on either Of the other &C.
casionS.
Indonesia's President Su-
karno has announced he will
take West Irian by force I'M
less the Dutch abandon it to
him. He is backing his word
with concentrations of naval,
air and ground forces. He has
already attempted a small
scale invasion which was
frustrated by Dutch destroy
erS.
The Hague government is
on record that it is ready to
give the native PapuanS self
determination and complete
freedom. But as trustees of
these primitive people they
oppose their conquest by Mr..
Sukarno.

Northeastern
Ports Win
Rate Case

BOSTON, Feb. II (AP).-A
Federal tribunal ruled yester-
day the ports of Boston, Port
land, Maine and New York are
entitled to the same railroad
freight rates to midwestern
points as Philadelphia, Balti-
more, and Hampton Roads, Va.
The three-judge tribunal said
an Interstate Commerce Com
mission ordered establishing
higher rates for import and ex-
port freight from the northern
ports, should be set aside.
Freight rate differentials be-
tween the northern and south
ern ports have existed for more
than 80 years, dating back to
the time when ocean shipping
rates were higher from the
southern ports. Ocean freight
rates were equalized in 1885.
Last year the ICC decided
in favor Of continued differ
entails.
The Federal tribunal held the
ICC decision was clearly err
roneous."
The Boston and Maine and
New Haven railroads Joined
with the Massachusetts Port
Authority in opposing the ICC
freight rate ruling as discrim-
inatory.
Judge Peter Woodbury. OF
the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals, and Judges George
C. Sweeney and Francis J. w
Ford of the United States Dis
trict Court in Boston sat or
the tribunal.
Last night, John F. O'Hallo-
ran, executive director of the
Massachusetts, Port Authority
said the decision will make the
port of Boston competitive as
far west as the Mississippi
River.

Chairman Mcclellan of the
Senate Government Operations
Committee sees no reason for
the Senate to take up the
Presidents Department Of Ur-

receives the printed testimony
taken at hearings which ended

Asked by reporters what he
would do if steps are taken
Monday to get immediate floor
action by discharging the COM
mittee, Senator Mcclellan said:
II see no valid reason, and
from what I know, no urgency
exists, for immediate consider
alton of this plan by the Sen

warrant the unprecedented ac-

The Government has opened
a broad study Of the New York
Stock Exchange with a 16-page
QUESTIONABLE for the exchanges
$50 stock specialists.
In the inquiry forms. distri-
buted yesterday, the Securities
and Exchange Commission is
seeking answers to three broad
questions. In effect. the SEC
is asking: l
/. How do specialists handle
trading in more than 100 Sc
lected stocks that represent a
cross section of big board Sc
curities?
2. Do some specialists have
conflicts of interest which
might compromise their posi-
ton as servants of the invest
ing public?
8. Are certain large investors,
such as the mutual funds, given
favored treatment when they
buy and sell on the big board?
SEC officials said they had
no preconceived ideas regard
ing any of the matters dealt
with in the QUESTIONABLE, but
were simply trying to find out
how the specialists, the market
technicians who conduct the
daily stock options, actually
operate.
Exchange Co-Operates
In New York, Keith Funston,
president of the New York
Stock Exchange, commented:
"The exchanges members
and member organizations will
naturally cooperate to the
fullest extent in this and all
other phases of the Securities
and Exchange Commissions
study.
1.-THE exchanges staff will
also stand ready to assist In
making available information
about the vital functions that

orderly markets"
The SEC recently completed
an investigation of the Amer
lean Stock Exchange. The
agency issued a public report
last month that was parti-
cularly critical of American
Exchange specialists.
At the direction of Congress,
the SEC is conducting a year
long study of all phases of the
securities industry, including
the operations of the IA re-
gistered stock exchanges.
Replies Due March rs
Big board specialists were
instructed to report in detail
on many of their activities
since January /, 1859. They
were given until Marcn 20 u
supply the answers.
Milton H. Cohen, director o
the SEC study, wrote the spe
cialists that receipt Of the ques

 Under existing law registra- tions expire December 31 and new license plates must be dis played on all vehicles by Feb ruary 28. The bill transmitted to the House for introduction would change the expiration date to March 1 and permit display of the previous years license plates until May 31.

Louis T. Croneberger, president
of the club. ANY operator who
was first licensed after July /,
1861, may enter, whether he is
a novice, technician or general

Five awards are planned this
year, including 500 u. S.
Savings Bond, first prize; a $50
Savings Bond, second prize; and
three $40 merchandise certifi-
Gates for third, fourth and fifth
