By Eorthu Kilt,
High Court Rules

LONDON, Feb. o (AP). -
Eartha Kilt was ruled In the
High Court today to have in
fringed copyright by singing
the song "An Englishman
Needs Time"
The American cabaret singer
failed to respond within the
required eight days to q suit
brought by Lady Anne Oakeley,
who writes songs under the
name Of Anne de Nys.
She claimed Miss Kilt has
been singing the song for years
without paying. She sang it be-
fore Queen Elizabeth at the
Royal Command Variety Show
last October.
An interlocutory Judgment in
default was entered against
Miss Kilt In the chancery d.
vision of the High Court after
the eight-day period had ex-

said:

Another speaker, Robert r.

to become actively concerned
with Federal fiscal policies.
Far too much emphasis has
been placed on tax reduction
by the Kennedy Administra-

Nathan asked If Federal tax
reductions would make addi-
tional sources of revenue avail
able to other levels Of govern

when Federal tax reduc-

reduction should be In the

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 9 (AP)
Denmark yesterday publicly
snubbed President de Gaulle's
invitation to join the European
Common Market and laid down
its own terms: Admit Britain
as well.
Prime Minister Jens Otto
Krag charged France had
shown political motives" in
blocking British entry into the
trading bloc in the recent
Brussels negotiations.
Addressing Parliament. the
48-year-old Danish leader said:
These entirely economic ne
gotiations in Brussels had made

further developing the Atlantic

totally inadequate in this era

II do not question the right

of a State to seize private
property for public use)," he
said, but l do believe that our
condemnation laws need to be

The county congress, In its
final day at the International
Inn, also heard Governor Frank
Clement Of Tennessee speak on
flocal-State teamwork.
He urged that as much of the
cost of local government as
possible be borne at the local
level, although revenue poten-
tials vary from place to place.
"The time has come to
entrust to the people in each
county and municipality the
right and the responsibility TO

they wish to raise the funds

necessity for an urban renewal
program
He cited the case Of Wash

where, he said, some of the
Projects are approaching their
14th birthday"
The development as a whole
is good, he said, but noted
there are q lot of vacant lots"
along with the new buildings.
He urged the county officials
to cooperate with the Federal
government to establish "a
guide for future growth and
development. and thus help to
prevent conditions that might
lead to the formation of slums
and blight"
Cites Key Problems
But renewing already blighted
areas is fiscally sound, the
Senator said, as 1t broadens the
tax base for cities and counties.
Besides the time lag, Fed
erally-supported urban renewal
has three other serious prob
lens, Senator Sparkman con-
tended.
The first is the loose local
enforcement Of building and
housing codes. ut has been
said that in many communities,
these codes are not being
adequately enforced" he said.
Should this be the case !.
I wonder whether the Federal
Government should continue to
give its support"
The second problem is re-
housing displaced families.
Once again, he said. some COM
munities are not providing

dwellings for displacees. They
