It also is the most fundamental change Winston Churchill's Conser- vative government has made thus far in the socialist welfare state it inherited in October, 1951. At one blow the government de- cision will hack down the present complex farm support program, and build up another on a new pattern. Full details of the new program are not yet known. But this much has been announced. One day next fall, price controls, rationing and government bulk pur- chasing of grain will come to an end, and private traders will again become responsible for feeding Britain after a 14-year interval. Britain Will Ditch Controls On Grain Government grain subsidies also will end next April 1. Ever since, 1930 the British gov- ernment has had the direct respon- sibility of finding bread grains and animal feed.

Vatican sources al- ready had said there was no cause | for concern. No official bulletin was issued today on the condition of the 76- year-old Pontiff, who has been in bed since last Thursday. His ail- ment at first was described as in- fluenza, but Vatican sources con- firmed Sunday it was bronchial pneumonia, No official information has been released on the treatment given the Pope. Sources at the Vatican said, however, it could be assumed that such modern medicines as Pope's Fever At 101 But Condition Better penicillin were being administered. The Pontiff's persistent fever late Sunday night hovered around the 101-degree mark. His doctor, Prof. Riccardo Galezaai-Lisi, has | been staying at the Vatican since last Friday. The Pontiff's attention to church duties continued despite his ill- ness. He has been receiving his pro-secretaries of state regularly for discussion of church affair. Sunday he listened to mass cele- brated by a member of the Vati- can household in a small studio adjoining the Pope's bedroom. He also recited the rosary for the re- turn to Italy of war prisoners re- ported still held in Russia.

"It is contended by those who favor a revaluation," says Green- shields, that while commodity prices have generally doubled, gold has remained constant since 1934, and that countries whieh tradi- tionally shipped newly-mined gold to keep their external trade in bal- ance have been at a disadvantage. "It is stated that if the price of gold had moved in line with other American prices, the sterling area, which produces 60 per cent of the free world's gold, would have increased its dollar reserves in most post-war years. "Furthermore, it is contended that a rise in the gold price would result in greater production. and would channel private holdings back into official circulation. Both the volime and value of central bank stocks would be increased. thus ensuring the international liquidity which is essential to free movement of trade between na- tions. '"These," the Greenshield review continues, 'are weighty arguments but the answers of those econo- mists who oppose revaluation are no less substantial. They point out at: 'The dollar-gap of the free world has reached such proportions that, per cent in gold output and in price, the increment to producers outside the United States would represent only a relatively small sum when compared with the aid granted by Investment House F Gold Stocks 'Interesting' inds the U.S. government in the past |vears to fill the gap. "If 1926 were taken as a base year instead of 1934, it would be seen that the price of commodities rose by exactly the same percen- tage as the price of gold. { "While the sterling area would be the principal beneficiary of re- valuation it would also give sub- stantial help to Russia, another im- portant producer. "Whatever monetary counter measures were adopted, a rise in the gold price would have an in- flationary effect, both in the coun- tries producing the metal and in those importing it. In any case, the psychological effect would be detrimental to the economy of all countries, but especially to those enjoying a stable currency. "Gold is not just another com- modity, It is the standard of value and should not be altered to pro- vide easy solutions for international economic problems, Moreover, these solutions would be of a tem porary nature, were measures not taken to promise greater produc- tivity in counties outside North America." Whatever the merits of the case for revaluation, says Greenshields, the decision in the matter rests {with the U.S. treasury, the only {large-scale buyer at a fixed price [($35 U.S. per ounce), ". . . and the chances that the new govern- ment will adopt a different atti- tude appear to be very remote even assuming an increase of 50 indeed." Greenshields concludes that while | "there is very little likelihood at | this time of a revaluation, the in« {terest in gold stocks rests in the fact that a decrease in the gold | price is even more unlikely." WASHINGTON (AP)-- Congress- ional leaders today take to Presid- en! Elsenhower another vexing problem: what to do about the stalemate over two prospective subordinates of Charles E. Wilson. Wilson's nomination for secretary of defence comes up in the senate with indications that he will get overwhelming approval despite a fight by Senator Wayne Morse (Ind. Ore.) against the appointment. Senator 'Robert Taft (Rep. Ohio), the majority leader was seeking a vote on Wilson's nomination befire nightfall. Some Democrats were reported ready to vote to confirm Wilson, former General Motors president who has agreed to sell his stock in the firm. But they didn't believe he was necessarily the right man for the job. Wilson's homination was approv- ed by the armed services com- mitee and sent to the senate during the week-end. Wilson's decision to dispose of his $2,500,000 of GM stock apprently removed the big- gest barrier to his heading the defence department, which does Two Wilson Aides Stumble Over Stock | billions of dollars of business with ith big automotive firm. | Taft said he expected some dis- {cussion with Eisenhower about Wilson's choices of Robert T. B: Stevens to be army secretary and Harold Talbott to be air secretary. They were reported to have been advised by senators they had better agree to sell their industrial hold- ings if they want to be confirmed. Eisenhower has not yet formally nominated them. One senato" said an exception might be made in the case of Stevens, to permit him to retain | his holdings in a family-owned tex- | tile firm. However, the senator said | Stevens would have to present a !statement by Wilson saying that, i if that firm ever transacted busin- | ess with the government, the mat- ter would be taken out of Stevens' | hands. | Roger M.

The ship had little chance in {the blaze. More than 200 firemen with 40 pieces of apparatus fought the fire, but were forced to aban- don her when the flames got out of control. The crew members aboard, some of them deep down in the engine réom, made their way out through the smoke-filled passageways. Their knowledge of the ship's in- terior probably saved their lives. Firemen wearing masks ran miles of hose around her docking place and swarmed aboard in the early stages of the blaze, trying to seek.out its source. A. G. Greenslade, chief fire (officer, said: | 'The cause of the fire is un- (known. We believe it started in or near the dispensary, but when we arrived the smoke was so dense that we could not reach the seat of the outbreak." Intense heat finally forced the firefighters to leap to the dock- side. White-hot plates buckled and rivets popped like bullets behind them. Acetylene torches cut holes through the hull and firemen pumped hundreds of tons of water into the hulk, now blazing from bridge to stern. The weight of the water heightened her list and she slid gently off the dock and settled quietly on. her side. Lying astern of the ship during her death throes was the Empress lof France, her sister ship. She and |other - ships nearby were not en- |dangered.
