They said the United States in

Paris it is ready to ask American
ships to withhold Suez tolls irom
Egypt and pay them instead to
SCUA—but only when British and
French ships begin to do so.
U.S. Is Watchful
The U.S. administration is anx
ious to avoid giving Egypt any
chance to discriminate against
American ships, it is understood
here.
. Informants said the United
States also has undertaken to per
suade American shipping firms
whose vessels are registered under
foreign flags to pay their tolls to
SCUA. The government reported
ly has reason to believe here that
the bigger' companies, especially
big oil firms, are ready to do so.

he introduced a catheter, a slen
der plastic tubular probe, into his
left forearm, and passed its 26-
inch length through a blood ves
sel until it had entered the right
side of his heart.
The U.S. doctors are French
born Andre F. Cournand, 61, and
Dickinson W. Richards Jr., 60,
both of Columbia University,
New York.
Develops Technique
They were recognized for their
part in developing the technique
of “heart catheterization” to mea
sure pressure and flow in various
parts of the heart and blood ves
sels, and to inject contrasting
chemicals to see heart defects on
an X-ray screen.
The three doctors share a $38,-
633 prize provided in the will of
Alfred Nobel, the Swedish in
ventor of dynamite.
The awards will be presented
here Dec. 10, along with a literary
prize and prizes in physics and
chemistry'to be announced later.
Heart Disease
The award in medicine was
made in a year when diseases of
the heart have come to public at
tention with perhaps greater force
than ever before. The basic know
ledge gained by the pioneering of
the three doctors greatly helped
to advance the fight against these
diseases.
It was shortly after Forssmann
had taken his doctor’s degree in
Berlin and when he was only 25
that he made his first dramatic
test in Eberswalde Hospital. j
In the bold experiment he in
troduced a urethral catheter into
the vein of his arm until it
reached into his heart. He then
walked upstairs from the operat
ing theater to the X-ray room
where he checked the position'
of the catheter with the aid of a!
mirror. He made an X-ray photo-!
graph to document his test.

Forest Camps
To Be Tried
At Rockview
HARRISBURG. Oct. 18
Pennsylvania is ready to try out
a new idea using movable forest
training camps to help rehabili
tate young criminals.
Gov. George M. Leader re
ferred to the program as “brand
new” and the “first in the United
States” in telling his news con
ference that “we are ready to
initiate the program at Rockview
Prison Farm” in Centre County.
Will Live at Camp
“The men will live and work at
the trailer camp for four or five
days, returning to the prison
farm at the close of the week,”
he said.
The governor added that the
program soon will be extended to
the Penn sylvania Industrial
School at nearby White Hill.
He said the state is receiving
inquiries and comments from oth
er states interested in establish
ing similar projects for men 18 to
25. Leader described the idea in
another “progress report” on his
administration, this one dealing
with juvenile delinquency.
Will Extend Program
He said the first mobile camp,
using 10 trailers, will extend the
forestry work program already in
operation at Rockview Peniten
tiary.
The movable camp plan is an
extension of 1955 legislation which
authorized permanent forestry
conservation camps for the re
habilitation of youthful offenders.
The first camp has been estab
lished in Racoon Creek State
Park, Beaver County.

House Probers Charge
GOP-Business Tieup
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (.■T’) —Democratic House investi
gators said today the officials of a construction company,
after getting a big government contract, boosted their 1954
contributions to the Republican party approximately 1.000
per cent over previous years. This figure was presented to a
Government Operations subcom
mittee on the basis of records of
[the clerk of the House and affi
davits submitted by seven offi-
I cials of the Frederick Snare Corp
i oration.
The construction firm on
July. 27. 1954, was awarded,
along with Merrill-Chapman &
Scott, a 43-million-dollar con*
, trad for expansion of the gov
ernment's nickel plant at Nicaro.
Cuba. Each company received
5500.000 under the cost-plus-fee
contract.
The data on the political con
tributions went into the subcom
mittee hearing record after Ran
dall Cremer, a former Snare vicei
president, told of what he called'
“terrible" political pressure in the
scramble for the nickel contract.
He said the political activity in
cluded Democrats as well as Re
publicans.
In discussing the stepped-up
campaign aifis. Cremer said u
was not felt that they were a
"condition" of the award.
He said he could remember no
feeling of obligation on the part
of company officials to make the
contributions, although he said he
personally felt “morally commit
ted” as the result of talks with
Leonard Hall, Republican Nation
al Committee chairman.

seven officials contributed a
total of $7,500 to the Republi
can congressional committee in
1354. Their contributions in the
previous seven general elections
averaged $636 a year, according
to the records.
Cremer said the increase was
simply due to “the fact that it
did look important to all of us
to elect a Republican Congress to
back up the President and they
seemed to need funds.”
The University was first called
the Farmer's High School because
its founders thought "college”
connoted a place where boys con
tracted idle habits.
