UN Group
Rejects Plea
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Sept- 21 (>P)— I The UN Steering
Committee today rejected Greece’s appeal for a second UN
debate on the problem of riot-tom Cyprus. It sided with an
American-British plea for another try for a settlement by
quiet diplomacy.
Climaxing an emotional debate on the first hot issue to
come up in the 10th Assembly, the committee voted 7-4 not
“ to recommend Assembly consid
eration of the Cyprus case.
Greece is certain to appeal to
the full Assembly of 60 nations
but it is problematical whether
the Athens government can get a
majority big enough, to overturn
the steering committee recom
mendation. Some Greek sources
said privately if the Cyprus case
is thrust out of the Assembly the
Greek government will fall and
great troubles will erupt.

2 Union Men
Rap Medicine's
Labor Plans
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 21 (JP)
Spokesmen for two big unions
today rapped organized medi
cine’s handling of labor medical
programs.
And a physican took his col
leagues to task for their approach
to the problem of solving .dis
putes between labor and medi
cine.-
Dr. Warren F. Draper, ex
ecutive medical director of the
United Mine Workers Welfare
and Retirement Fund, said it's
up to the medical profession to
"police its own ranks and stop
white-washing investigations of
abuses" reported by fund offi
cials.
John F. Tomayko, representa
tive of the insurance and pen
sion department of the CIO Unit
ed Steelworkers, complained that
physicians are overcharging steel
worker patients.
Dr. Edgar Meiser of Lancaster
told fellow members of the Penn
sylvania Medical Society that
most doctor’s squabbles over la
bor health plans are based on
money.
Repercussions of the Cyprus
debate were expected from Tur
key, which opposed inscription
of the item on the Assembly
agenda, and in Greece, where
passions are enflamed. Dulles has
urged both Greece and Turkey to
restore their old-time unity in
the North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization. Premier Adnan Men
deres told Dulles in a message
that Turkey wants to continue
its friendship and alliance with
Greece.
The steering committee recom
mended Assembly' consideration
of the Moroccan situation.
Congress Orders | Price Support Losses
The three took up the prob
lems of labor health programs
in a panel discussion at the
society's 105th annual conven*
tion.
Dr. Meiser said it’s the job of
the profession itself to fix the
amount of fees, determine the
method of payment and judge the
competency and conduct of doc
tors. \ •

ordered today into an Air Force

munications network.
Rep. Clarence Cannon (D-Mo.)
said the House Appropriations
Committee, which he heads, a will
probe the arrrngement. House
Democratic Leader John W. Mc-
Cormack (Mass.) has called it a
$2,400,000,000 “bonanza."
McCormack disclosed yesterday
that Comptroller General Joseph
Campbell has challenged the con

nitude should have specific au
thorization from Congress. Asst.

SUMNER, Miss' Sept. 21 (JP)—
A County sheriff and his deputy
said today two white half-broth
ers admitted kidnaping a Chicago
Negro boy last month but denied

fied at the murder trial of Roy
Bryant, 24, and J. W. Milafn, 36,
that he talked to Bryant about
the abduction of 14-year-old Em
mett (Bobo) Till.
“I asked him about going down
and getting the little Negro boy,”
Smith told a hushed courtroom,
“and he said he went down and
got him to let his wife identify
him. His wife said it wasn’t the
boy and he turned him loose.”
Alleged Remarks
Three days before young Till
was abducted from the cotton
field shack of his uncle Aug. 28,
he had allegedly made indecent
remarks and gestures to Bryant’s

Smith was followed to the wit
ness stand by one of the deputies,
John E. Cothran. He said he ques
tioned Milam about the disap
pearance of young Till.
Milam Questioned
“I asked him if they went about
and got the boy,” Cothran con
tinued.
“He said yes but they turned
him loose.”
Before this testimony could be
introduced to the jury, Circuit
Judge Curtis Swango spent some
time listening to defense objec
tions with the jury out of the
room. Eventually, however, the
judge permitted both men to
testify before the jury about the
purported admission -of abduc
tion.
The defense in cross examina
tion sought to show that Bryant
and Milam were misled into their
statements in casual chats with
authorities which the defendants
considered confidential.

U.S. Will Consider
Foreign Tariff Cuts
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 (/P) —The United States offered today
to consider new tariff cuts on nearly two billion dollars of foreign
imports.
The cuts would include items ranging from automobiles to
monkeys and would be part of a
drive to expand world trade.
These new tariff concession will
be up for negotiation next Jan
uary in Geneva at a conference
with representatives of 25 non
communist nations
The conference, the fourth since
the end of World War 11, shapes
up as the most far-reaching since
1947 when friendly countries
started their joint campaign to
knock down world trade barriers.
The State Department, in its
announcement on the administra
tion’s plans, stressed that foreign
countries will be asked to match
American concessions by opening
up their markets to more Ameri
can exports.
The most important imports in
cluded on the negotiating list
were scotch whisky, tobacco,
automobile, electrical equipment,
manganese, tungsten, aluminum,
nickel, copper, steel, olive oil,
wines and ale.
The entire list covers $1,772,-
000,000 in imports, according to
1954 figures.
A state Department spokesman
emphasized that not all items
listed would necessarily have
their tariffs cut.

Navy Claims
Arctic Victory
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21 (JP)—
The Navy said today that it won
a great victory in the Arctic this
summer in unloading vast quanti
ties of supplies to build anc. equip
the “DEW line” chain of radar
defenses.
Vice Adm. F. C. Denebrink told
a Pentagon news conference that
it was the first time in history
that the Northwest Passage,
sought for centuries by explorers,
had ever been used “as a pas
sage to move men and supplies.”
The admiral, who commands
the Military Sea Transport Serv
ice and personally supervised the
operation in the far North, said
not a life was lost among the 18,-
647 people aboard 126 ships
which took part in the three
months expedition.
He had high praise for the civil
ian merchant marine crews man
ning many of the vessels. Other
ships were from the U.S. Navy
the Sea Transport Service, and
thie Canadian navy.
Denebrink said many of the
ships suffered damage and quite
a few ran aground, but the repair
service was so efficient that when
the last of the special Arctic fleet
rounded Point Barrow, Alaska,
this week, all but two vessels
were able to head homeward un
der their own power.

tor, increased.
