Pinay Hits Plan
Opposes Plea
By Molotov
For Pact Split
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.
Sept. 29 (fP) —Foreign Minister
Antoine Pihay of France to
day rejected Russian sugges
tions for an East-West accord
based on dissolution of the
U.S. troops from Europe.
With Soviet Foreign Minister
Molotov listening impassively as
usual. Pinay told the UN Assem
bly that France will .not recog
nize the Communist East German
regime. He called instead for a
united Germany protected by the
the Atlantic pact and the Paris
agreements and subject to con
trolled military limitations.
Warns Communists
Pinay warned the Communists
to stop stirring up trouble in
North Africa. He asked if they
sought to open a new front there.
He did not mention Algeria,
which Pinay regards as a domes
tic problem. He reported the
agreement between France and
Tunis and said France is working
to constitute a Moroccan govern
ment.
The French minister. was em
phatic in his views on the At
lantic pact. He said that an au
thentic easing- of tension in the
“True' spirit of Geneva” bases co
exist mce, for which the Russians
are pleading, on “tolerance."
Suggests Ike's Plan
He said the countries could pro
vide against surprise attack by
using the aerial inspection plan
S resented by President Eisen
ower, by the territorial control
posts suggested by Soviet Prem
ier Bulganin, and by. a limited
inspection system suggested by
Prime Minister Eden.
All of these could be supple
mented, he said, by the system
of financial controls proposed by
French Premier Faure. Applying
these measures simultaneously
would lead on to the application
of a general disarmament plan,
Pinay said.
Pinay urged an early solution
of the question of new members
for the UN. He said Italy should
be among the first to be admitted.
Truck Driver Finds
$42,000 in Purse
At Highway's Side
DETROIT, Sept. 29 (/P)—Truck
driver Vearl Valentine is a philo
sophical man. He has to be after
what he’s just been through.
He confided to friends yester
day that last Tuesday he found a
brown purse lying along the road
on U.S. 12 near Ann Arbor.
He halted his truck and picked
it qp. Inside he found $42,800 in
large bills neatly tied with rubber
bands. Before he could recover
from the shock, a well dressed
woman about 40 halted her ex
pensive automobile near where
he was standing and “demanded
her money.”
After identifying the amount
and giving a plausible explana
tion of how the bundle of bills
had fallen from her car minutes
before, Valentine was convinced
sh was the owner.
She accepted the purse and
drove off with hardly a “thank
you” much less a reward.
“Routine,” sighed Valentine, a
truck driver for 37 years.
Years ago, he explained, he
found a Wallet containing $2OO in
a roadside restaurant in Altoona,
Pa. He turned it over to the man
agement and the wallet got back
to the rightful owner.

Egyptian Source Claims
Israel Forced Red Deal
CAIRO, Egypt, Sept. 29 (/P) —A highly placed Egyptian source
asserted today Israel’s attitude forced anti-Communist Egypt to deal
with Communist countries for arms.
Israeli attacks in the Gaza area last spring convinced Egyptian
army officers they were not prepared to meet the threat of large
scale war, said the informant,
who declined to be identified by
name
Appeals to the United Nations
to curb Israel brought little re
sponse, he said, and Egyptian
military -leaders put heavy pres
sure on Premier Gamal Abdel
Nasser to find heavy armament.'
“The first nation we applied to
for arms was the United States,”
the source declared. “We even
sent a military mission to the
States but we could not get the
armaments we needed.”
When Czechoslovakia offered to
supply arms in return for Egyp
tian cotton, he said, Egypt had no
alternative.
In London today the British
Foreign Office said it has ordered
Ambassador Sir Humphrey Tre
velyan to inform Nasser of the
“grave view” Britain takes of
Egypt’s intention to buy arms
from behind the Iron Curtain.
A spokesman said the British
envoy was instructed to warn the
Egyptian Premier of the dangers
of starting an arms race in the
Middle East.
British intervention in Cairo is
the third of a series of steps tak
en by that country and the United
States in the 48 hours since
Egypt’s disclosure it was making
an arms deal with Czechoslo
vakia.
Aid for Needy
Students Urged
HARRISBURG, Sept. 29 ( JP)—
Gov. Leader today suggested that
the federal government pay for
the '’ollege education of "talented
but needy” high school graduates
in something like a GI bill of
rights for civilians.
At the same time he announced
the pending creation of a state
Commission on Higher Education.
One of the Commission’s'big jobs
would look into a plan calling for
establishment of a number of
state junior colleges, or “com
munity colleges” as he called
them.
“Education is a field no gov
ernment can afford to stint. Its
students, teachers and classrooms
are the true wealth and basis of
any society,” the governor told
more than 600 Pennsylvania edu
cators gathered for the 35th an
nual Education Congress.
Altoona Named as Site
For New Air Center
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (JP)—
An air reserve training center for
central Pennsylvania will be con
structed on the outskirts of Al
toona, Pa., next year. Rep.' Van
Zandt (R-Pa) said today.
He said the center will be the
headquarters for Altoona, Johns
town and Dußois air reserve
units with an over-all strength of
400 officers and airmen.
Van Zandt said the land for
the training center was made,
available by Pennsylvania State
University undergraduate center
of Altoona whose students will

Survey Made
For Turnpike
Improvements
HARRISBURG, Sept. 29 (JP)
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Com
mission is conducting an exten
sive • survey . covering the cost,
construction and success of metal
center strip barriers with a view
toward extending their length
along the superhighway.
Gov. Leader said today he
hopes to have the completed re
port soon.” Commission officials
were unable to estimate when it
might be finished.
The governor disclosed that
several months ago, in conference
with some of the commissioners
and commission engineers, “the
possibility of extending medial
barriers” was considered.
“The commission and I are in
agreement that they extend the
barrier as finances permit,” he
added.
“Everyone recognizes the vir
tue of medial barriers —we al
ready have them along most
curves,” the governor said.
He indicated the report he
lisked for will outline how many
miles of barriers the commission
can afford to- build, where it will
be built and when.
None of the three commission
ers was in the Harrisburg office
'today for comment on the survey.
But another Turnpike employe
said the report has been under
study for some time.
Economic,
To Be Unchanged --- Nixon
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 (JP)—
Vice President Nixon said today
after'presiding over a meeting of
the National Security Council
that no changes in foreign or eco
nomic policy “are needed or con
templated in the near future.”
Nixon talked with reporters
after a 2%-hour White House
meeting of the council, the gov
ernment’s highest agency for
military and economic policy
planning.
He stressed that only President
Eisenhower can make decisions
on matters discussed in the coun
cil which, like the Cabinet, is
purely an advisory body.
Nixon said his role as presid
ing officer in Eisenhower’s ab
sence is primarily to see that
items up for discussion are han
dled effectively and efficiently.
Today’s council meeting, he
said, was arranged before the
President suffered a heart attack
last Saturday and its business
was to discuss things which would
have been taken up "regardless
of the occurrence at Denver.”
Janet Rips Mexico;
Deaths Reach 350
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 29 (A 1 ) —Hurricane Janet, the season’s most
vicious tropical storm, is breaking up in the Mexican mountains af
ter taking a toll of 350 to 400 lives. There were reports 150 were
found dead in the ruins of Chetumal, on the Yucatan peninsula.
The US. Weather Bureau in New Orleans announced the death
of the big blow late this afternoon, in what it called its last advisory
on the storm.
Janet moved inland over the
Mexican coast about noon today,
skirting the barricaded city of
Veracruz. The only populated
place in the-path 1 of its 120-mile
an hour winds was the fishing
village of Nautla, 75 miles north
of Veracruz.
Reports Cease
Reports from the village of
1,500 ceased abruptly at 1 p.m.
when the weather station was
closed. because of rising water
ana a 60-mile-an-hour wind.
Although the winds of this
1C h hurricane of the year seemed
unlikely to cause any further
great loss of life, its rains re
mained a serious threat to Tam
pico, deeply flooded by two pre
vious hurricanes this month.
Rains to Occur
The New Orleans advisory
warned that torrential rains will
occur in the mountains from
Veracruz to Ciudad Victoria, 135
miles northwest of Tampico and
nearly 400 miles northwest of
Veracruz.
In Washington, meanwhile, the
American Red Cross announced
it is preparing to fly food sup
plies into the Tampico area as
soon as weather conditions per
mit. Ten planeloads of clothing
and other supplies donated by
Texas organizations, already have
been distributed in the city.
An outbreak of typhoid was
reported yesterday in the water
logged oil port of 110.000.
Arms> Ammo Exported
BONN, West Germany, Sept.
29 (JP) —Unarmed West Germany
exported $1,689,000 worth of light
arms and ammunition during the
first half of 1955. Until the Bonn
government became sovereign
last May, it was barred from pro
ducing heavy arms and war mate
rial.
Foreign Policy
Nixon noted that this is the
time of year when both the coun
cil and the Cabinet begin to hold
regular meetings. He will preside
tomorrow at a Cabinet meeting—
-10 a.m. (EST).
Twenty-three Cabinet
and other officials attended to
day’s council meeting. Murray
Snider, assistant White House
press secretary, said it was not
unusual to have so many on hand.

Ike's Infirmity
Will Not Alter
Party Policy
STONEWALL, Tex., Sept. 29
(yP) Democratic congressional
chieftains today promised they
will not make political hay of
President Eisenhower’s illness in
the session starting in January.
But Senate Majority Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson and House
Speaker Sam Rayburn firmly
pledged themselves to a congres
sional program which they hope
will put a Democrat in the White
House next year.
Adlai Stevenson, titular head
of the party, sat nearby on the
shady lawn of Johnson’s ranch
home and nodded approval as
Johnson and Rayburn talked to
reporters.
No Strategy
All three Democratic leaders
asserted there was no political
significance in the overnight visit
with Johnson. All three said they
had not met to plot any strategy
to take advantage of the Presi
dent’s illness.
Johnson especially underlined
his sympathy with the President.
The Texas lawmaker suffered- a
similar heart attack in July.
Trim and Confident
Trim and tanned, he looked fit
today and he was confident he
would be able to take over the
active Senate leadership in Janu
ary.
This depends finally on what
the doctors say about his condi
tion at the time.
Johnson also made it clear that
Stevenson’s visit was in no sense
a personal political endorsement
of Stevenson. Without calling any
names, Johnson said that ail
those who had been mentioned
as Democratic presidential pos
sibilities were “good men.”
