West Lines Up Against Red
Security Treaty Proposal
GENEVA m—The Western Pow-
ers lined up solidly today against
Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov's
latest European security -treaty
plan. They regarded it as an ef-
fort to confuse the issue of Ger-
man unity and freeze the present
division of Europe.
Moscow's master diplomat
sprang his proposal, which on the
surface contained concessions to
the Western viewpoint, at the clos-
ing stage of yesterday’s session of
the Big Four foreign ministers.
By his timing be made a bid to
dominate the conference news
throughout ioday when the confer-
ence la in recess.
Day Off
At the request of French Foreign
Minister Antoine Pinay the dele-
gates took the day off because this
is All Saints Day, s holiday in
France
U S Secretary of State Dulles
used the break to make a one-day
flying trip to Madrid to meet with
Generalissimo Franco.
The official comments of Dulles,
Pinay and British Foreign Secre-
tary Macmillan on Molotov's plan
therefore will not be forthcoming
until Wednesday.
But within hours after the Molo-
tov plan was launched diplomats
in the Western camp prased the .

Rayburn Says Demos
To Win Both Houses
OKLAHOMA CITY W—Demo-
crate will capture both the White
House and Congress next year.
Rep. Sam Rayburn asserted to a
cheering throng of more than 4,000
at a Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner
last night.
The speaker of the House voiced
no criticism of President Eisen-
hower, but said the Democrats will
win in 1956, no matter who the
Republicans nominate.
"I think the Republicans have a
lot to account for in 1956 and one
of them la Ezra Taft Benson.”
Rayburn stated.
“Farm income in 2% years has
dropped from 17 billion plus to
about 14 billion. That may not
mean much to some persons but it
does to the farmers.”
Rayburn told Oklahoma Demo-
crate he is in favor of 90 per cent
Russia’s key position—her opposi-
tion to the unification of Germany
except on her own terms.
What Molotov proposed was that
the great powers. East and West
Germany and nations neighboring
Germany, sign a provisional
"treaty on security in Europe."
It would leave the North Atlan-
tic Treaty Organization in exist-
ence.
It would renounce war.
It would guarantee aid to any
member state which was at-
"Tere were two sharp differ-
ences with another security treaty

duced only last week.

he then proposed would wipe out

4 Police Vacancies
Israeli Group
Repulses Raid
By Egyptians
JERUSALEM GB - An Egyp-
tian infantry platoon last night at-
tacked an Israeli patrol in the Kis-
sufim area east of the Gaza Strip
but was repulsed, an Israeli army
spokesman announced.
The Israelis suffered no casual-
ties, he said.
The attacking Egyptian unit was
supported by fire from positions
across the demarcation line, he
added.
Two more Egyptian jet planes
were seen over Israeli territory
yesterday, the spokesman report-
ed. One was over the demilitar-
ized El Auja zone in the southern
Negev Desert and the other over
the Patish and Gvuloth settlements
east of the Gaza stretch.
Israelis reported four Egyptian
jets streaked over the border into
Israeli territory on Sunday.
The platoon foray was the latest
of a aeries of jabs across the de-
marcation line by both sides since
last February. As a result fears of
another Palestine war have been
growing.
Maj. Gen. E. L. M. Burns, U. N.
truce observer, backed by U. N.
Secretary General Dag Hammar-
skjold. appealed to both sides over
the weekend to restrain their
forces lost they start events which
would have the "gravest conse-
quences.” Britain yesterday added
its voice to the appeal.
Nevertheless, Israeli sources re-
ported another Egyptian raid into
Israeli territory east of Gaza yes-
terday, a few hours after the ap-
peal. This was in the Nirim ares.
No casualties were reported.
WASHINGTON un - An admin-
istration source on Capitol Hill to-
day gav President Eisenhower
no better than "a 50-50 chance at
best" to get postal rates increased
by Congress next year.
Poetmaster General Summer-
field yesterday gave notice in Den-
ver of renewal of the rate battle
when Congress comes back in Jan-
uary.
The source, declining to be quot-
ed by name, noted that Congress
has steadfastly resisted three
years of administration efforts to
increase postal revenues by rais-
ing rates.
Much of the opposition has cen-
tered around Speaker of the House
Rayburn (D-Tex), whose position
gives weight to his stand.
After conferring with the Presi-
dent in his Denver hospital room.
Summerfield said Eisenhower had
approved a plan to ask Congress
for a boost in most rates to help
cut down the “staggering” postal
operating deficit.
Summerfield told reporters the
President may ask for an increase
in the first class rate for ordinary
letters from three to four cents an
ounce, and in the airmail rate from
six to seven cents. He said definite
rates have not yet been decided
upon.
Economies and changes in post-
al procedures under Summerfield’s
direction were successful in cutting
the deficit to around 350 million
dollars last year, from an annual
average of about 500 millions. But
the savings have been more than
offset by a 160 million dollar a
year pay raise which Congress
voted postal workers this year.
The big increase in the Post Of-
fice payroll, some believe, may in-
duce Congress to vote somewhat
higher rates to help Summerfield
cut down his operating losses —
but not anything like the increases
Summerfield is expected to ask.
Some Capitol Hill sources
thought the pay raise might cause
Rayburn to change his mind on
pron 'Is he has turned down in
the past.
If past reaction by Congress
can be regarded as a guide, re-
sistance probably will come chief-
ly to proposals to raise postage
rates on regular and airmail let-
ters.

rified as that of Edell Evans, miss-
ing Richland Hills gambler, was
lound today buried four feet deep

tlament who knows toe Princess.
“I have a haunting feeling that
Princess Margaret is one of them.”
He gave his views in an Evening
Standard article entitled “Margar-
et's Sacrifice."
To the greet maos of the British
people, the big question appeared
to be the human one:
“Is the Princess now condemned
at the age of 25 to a life of spin-
sterhood?"
From ths liberal London Evening
Star came an editorial calf for dis-
establishment of the Church of
England of which the Queen is
titular head.
“Although all is over, there re-
main problems which the affair
has forced into the light of day
and which only Parliament can
solve. ... the best solution would
be disestablishment,” said the
Star.
Churchmen generally praised
Margaret’s decision not to marry
Townsend, father of two sons He
divorced his wife in, 1952 on
grounds of misconduct. She has
married another man.
“I thank Ged,” said the Rev.
Douglas Lockhart, an Edinburgh
clergyman who was outspoken in
opposition to a Margaret-Townsend
match. "She will have the love
and sympathy of Christians ev.
erywhere."

HOLLYWOOD GB—Diet-conscious
citizens may be happy to learn
that Grace Kelly has weight prob-
lems, too.
This was disclosed during a call
to the set of her first picture in
over a year, "The Swan.” It was
late morning, and she offered
some celery and carrot sticks. On
her makeup table was a box of
dried apricots. Nearby were some
graham crackers.
She admitted that she does have
to diet now and then.
"My mother is German,” she
explained. "And you know how the
Germans love to eat. We all grew
up with pretty healthy appetites.”
How does she keep the Kelly
curves under control? It starts
with oatmeal in the morning.
"Oatmeal is best," she remarked
munching on a carrot stick. “I
have to get up at 6 to be at the
studio on time. Oatmeal keeps me
from getting hungry until II. If
you get hungry before that, then
you get started on the doughnut
routine, and that can be danger-
ous:"
She has a light lunch, but usual-’
ly succumbs to a big dinner. And
sometimes she backslides with a
heavy dessert, as she did at the
City of Hope Dinner honoring the
Los Angeles publishers "Then I
pay for it all week,” she sighed.
She likes exercise but gets little
while she's working. When she's
in New York, she does a lot of
walking.
She plans to return east next
