Russia Cautioned Twice
On Arms Export—Dulles
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 (/P)— Secretary of State John Fos
ter Dulles disclosed today he has twice told Russia that Com
muist arms shipments to Egypt would not “contribute” to
lessening of the world’s strains.
He said American officials “still hope it will be possible
to avoid” getting into any arms race in the Middle East.
At the same time, Dulles
anticipate that before long it
President” about any foreign
policy matters that may become
urgent.
Dulles stressed that Eisenhow
er’s illness has not interfered
with carrying out the nation’s
foreign policy because the Na
tional Security Council has con
tinued to operate along lines pre
viously approved by Eisenhower.
First In a Month
Dulles was appearing at his
first news conference in a month.
Dulles left open the possibility
of the United States sending arms
to Israel to balance any Commu
nist military shipments to Egypt
and ’ other Arab countries. He
said, in reply to questions, it was
impossible to say whether Ameri
can arms shipments were a
likely prospect," because it would
depend on the amount and type
of Communist arms provided
Arab countries.
With regard to other questions
on policy developments, Dulles:
1. Said he believes the Big Four
Foreign Ministers will make posi
tive progress at Geneva, in a
meeting to begin Oct. 27, toward
the Western goal of reunifying
Germany.
Predicts Greater Unity
2. Said the Western Big Three
countries will enter. the Geneva
meeting with greater unity of
purpose and program than they
have'ever achieved before in such
negotiations with Russia.
3. Expressed firm belief
France’s withdrawal from the
United Nations last weekend, was
a temporary matter which did
not mean the French government
would pull out of the U.N.

French Battle Tribesmen
RABAT, Morocco, Oct. 4 (ff) —French troops battled rebel
mountain tribesmen today in the fourth straight day of scattered
vicious clashes in Eastern and Northern Morocco.
A major battle appeared to be brewing a few miles south
of the Spanish Moroccan border. There was no official estimate of
the numbers involved, but unofficial accounts for the scene said
the area was in “full boil.”
As the tension increased, France’s resident general, Gen. Pierre
Boyer de Latour du Moulin, appealed for peace. Cautioning against
plunging the protectorate into civil war, he said he was seeking
a solution acceptable to all.
The fighting was principally in the Riff Mountains between
Taza and the Spanish Moroccan border, some 150 miles west of
Rabat. Rut there were widespread guerrilla-type attacks in sparsely
settled areas and the French were hard-pressed to stem the violence.
The tribal raids began a few hours after Sultan Mohammed
Ben Moulay Arafa, with a strong push from the French, left his
palace in Rabat and flew to the international city of Tangier. The
Sultan’s removal was part of a French plan for Moroccan reforms.

Horst Receives
Vote of Faith
By 35 GOP's
HARRISBURG, Oct. 4 (fP)—
Thirty-five Republican county
chairmen gave Miles Horst a
unanimous vote of confidence to
day to serve out the balance of
his two-year term.
The vote came on a motion by
Henry C. Lark, Northumberland
County chairman, who assailed
attempts by some party contrib
utors to oust Horst by withhold
ing fhnds.
Horst has been state chairman
since June, 1954.
“Some of the financial people
are trying to starve him (Horst)
out,” Lark declared.
“They are not really trying to
get rid of Horst—what, they are
trying to do is get rid of organ
ized Republicans.”
Lark’s remarks were made at a
meeting of the county chairmen
here while on their way to Phila
delphia to attend a $lOO-a-plate
Republican campaign fund-rais
ing dinner.
Horst, who called 'thte meeting,
predicted in an address to the
county chieftians that Gov.
George M- Leader will come up
with “a new version” of his re
jected classified income tax af-.
ter the Nov. '8 municipal election.
“Gov. Leader is trying to give
the impression that he has given
up his efforts to force his unfair
and unjust wage and income tax
through the Legislature this year,
hut we say, don’t be taken in,”
Horst declared.

Lewis Suffers
Slight Attack
I WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 (IP)—
[John L. Lewis’ physician said to
night doctors had decided the vet
eran head of the United Mine
Workers “had a very minimum
heart attack about two weeks
ago.”
The physician, Dr. J.jhn Minor,
said Lewis was doing well and
probably would go home the end
of this week.
The 75-year-old UMW chief en
tered Emergency Hosptial here
Sept. 23 for what was then de
scribed as a rest and checkup.
The government press office
announced tonight that the two
leaders will confer for one hour,
adjourn for lunch and then re
sume their discussions if neces
sary.
In Paris, the Foreign Ministry
said Faure and French Foreign
Minister Antoine Pinay will fly
to Luxembourg after a cabinet
meeting in the morning.
The Foreign Ministry said
the talks will be principally in
preparation for the meeting of
the Big Four foreign ministers
in Geneva Oct.' 27.
But West German Foreign
Minister Heinrich von Brentano
yesterday in Washington indi
cated full German approval of
Western strategy for the Geneva
meeting.
■ Therefore, political sources
here said, the Luxembourg meet
ing will be concerned mainly
with the threatened rejection by
Saarlanders of "their new Euro
pean staus in a plebiscite on Oct.
23.
Report* from the Saar say
that at least.6oper cent of the
voters will say,"no" to the ar
rangement which would keep -
their German-speaking terri
tory detached from Germany
under administration by a
European commissioner.
Coming just before t he Big
Four foreign ministers meeting,
such a rejection would be a blow
to Western unity.
Sources here believe Adenauer
and Faure will seek means of
dampenin' down the disruptive
effects of what will probably
amount to a vote for a return of
the 900-square-mile coal valley
to Germany.

association at the University, will

Menon Asks World
To Renounce War
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Oct. 4 V. K. Krish
na Menon called on the world today to renounce war and
throw away its atomic weapons.
“There is only one way before the world and that is for
the nations to renounce war as an instrument of national
policy,” he said at the end of a two hour speech closing the
UN Assembly’s general debate. '
“Disarmament is not the way.
We can establish peace only, if
the nations have decided to aban
don war. That is possible once
confidence is established. You
cannot reconcile dreams with
schemes, ”
The Indian chief delegate, who
is the top advisor on foreign af
fairs to Prime Minister Nehru,
again urged a halt on experi
ments with nuclear weapons

/His address was moderate and
conciliatory, in keeping with the
line taken by most of the 45
chief delegates who spoke in the
general debate.
Krishna Menon was one of the
leaders in obtaining the 28-27
vote last Friday by’ which the
UN Assembly decided to con
sider the flaming Algerian issue.
As a result of that vote the
French delegation walked from
the Assembly. Krishna Menon
appealed, today to the French,
“whose space was vacant, to re
turn.
State to Start
Financial Plan
HARRISBURG, Oct. 4 (A)—The
Commonwealth is set to go on a
new accounting system Dec. 1
which is expected to show for the
first time in history exactly how
the state’s finances stand from
day to day.
James C. Charlesworth, Gov.
Leader’s secretary for administra
tion, told a newsman the new sys
tem will lead to new and efficient
uniformity in keeping the Com
monwealth’s books.
“But what’s more,’’ he added,
“for the first time in recent his
tory a governor will know exact
ly where he stands on finances.”
The fiscal operation of the Com
monwealth will swing from the
long-standing modified cash basis
to an accrual basis. It nreans
simply that money will be consid
ered spent—not when the check
is written by the state treasurer
as at present—but when the state
pledges itself to buy an item
such as when a contract is signed.

Excise Tax
Reduction
Questioned
WASI I'.NGTON, Oct. 4 (/P) —
The Eisenhower administration
was described today as “much
concerned” lest the government
lose revenue through proposed
changes in the excise or sales
taxes.
The administration position
was expressed by Dan T. Smith,
special assistant to the Secretary
of the Treasury Humphrey. He
was the first witness as a House
Ways and Means subcommittee
opened hearings as a possible pre
liminary to overhaul of the cen
tury-old excise tax system.
Variety of Excises
Federal excises are levied on a
wide variety of goods and ser
vices including liquor, cigarettes,
furs, automobiles, admissions and
cosmetics.
They now account for nine to
10 billion dollars of revenue an
nually. And unless Congress steps
in, this amount will be reduced
by around a billion dollars from
| reductions scheduled April 1 in
: the levies on automobiles, trucks
land buses, gasoline, tobacco,
beer, and liquor. Congress has
postponed these reductions sev
eral times, although it cut many
other excises in 1954.
Hearings Are Restricted
The House subcommittee, head
ed by Rep. Aime J. Forand (D-
R. 1.), has restricted hearings to
administrative and technical
problems, leaving rates as such
for future consideration.
At the outset. Smith said the
Treasury will balk at any changes
which would cost revenue.
“To the extent that there is
any adverse effect on the revenue
from the proposed changes,” he
said, “the Treasury Department
will withhold favorable recom
mendations at this time.”
