Calls for Outside Supervision of Elections HARRY LUNN ... speaks on colonialism Eisenhower Aides Report To Hospital U.S. Economy, U.N. Reviewed By Ike DENVER (A')-President Dwight D. Eisenhower got reports yester- day on the "excellent" status of the nation's economy and approv- ed a program for attacking spotty unemployment in some industrial communities. The President also received word that chances are -looking up for ultimate Soviet acceptance of his plan to trade military blueprints and Permit mutual air inspection of military installations. Successive Conferences In successive conferences-one of them begun on the sundeck at Fitzsimons Army Hospital-Pres. Eisenhower consulted with Dr. Gabriel Hauge, his personal eco- nomic advisor, and Dr. Arthur F. Burns, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors. They said they reported to him on the ex- cellent state of the national econo- my, outlined a three-point pro- gram to assist local depressed areas that aren't sharing fully in good times and got his okay for going ahead with it. Lodge Advises' Reviewing United Nations af- fairs, UN Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. advised Pres. Eisenhow- er there may be "real action" on the blueprint and inspection plan --before the UN General Assembly session ends Dec. 10. Possibly, Lodge told a news con- ference, some Russian ideas may be combined with Eisenhower's. Encouraging Reports All three visitors came away with encouraging reports on Eis- enhower's appearance and condi- tion. They relayed them to re- porters in separate news confer- ences. "In all the years I've known him," Lodge said, "I've never seen him looking better and acting bet- ter." At the same time, Presidential Press Secretary James C. Hager- ty announced that Secretary of Agriculture Benson will be here Saturday to see the chief execu- tive. Machines Fail To Increase Productivity WASHINGTON (P) - Secretary of Labor Mitchell came up with data Monday showing, he said, that productivity of American in- dustry has not increased material- ly despite the trend toward labor- saving machines. The data suggested that mach- ines have had no appreciable over- all effect of displacing workers from jobs. Michell told the Senate-House Committee studying the impact of automation--or growing une of pushbotton factory and office ma- chinery-that the average produc- tivity gain since World War II "does nct appear to be extraordin- arily high." He said Labor Department sta- tistics show a three per cent an- nual increase between the two world wars in productivity, or the measure of output related to man- nnra.'ar 4ra.,..ntc 'fnran'.Ifl A7 dollars. School Lunches The pork and lard, Benson told a news conference, will be acquired for current consumption through the school lunch program, charit- able institutions and by needy persons. He stressed that no more would be bought than could be disposed of through these outlets and that it would not be bought for government storage. Some farm and congressional leaders have been insisting that the government begin a pork buy- ing program to help the hog mar- ket. Hog prices are now about 30 per lower than a year ago. Sec. Benson said the program is being undertaken in accordance with recommendations made by the hog and pork industry advisory committee, which met with him and other department officials Oct. 7. Limited Program The committee recommended that the department undertake a limited purchase program if such action became necessary because of the marketing situation. Sec. Ben- son said the increasing volume of deliveries to markets and sagging prices indicate this was the prop- er time for the government to get into the market as a buyer. Sec. Benson said pork products to be bought under the program will be from animals of, the- light- weight variety averaging about 185-210 pounds. He said the pro- gram is aimed at encouraging the marketing of lighter weight hogs and giving farmers time to start adjusting their future production. Sec. Benson said pork products being considered for purchase are pork' luncheon meat processed from shoulders, hams, or loins; canned pork and gravy, from loins and hams; and lard. He said consider- ation also is being given to the purchase.of hams. Benson Talks Against Rigid Farm Support WASHINGTON, Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson said yesterday that despite recent statements by Democratic leaders supporting high, fixed price sup- ports for farm products "there is more and more evidence of a need for greater flexibility." He told a news conference he felt it would be "a serious mis- take to move backward to a rigid system of price supports." "It is my best judgement," Sec. Benson said, "that Congress will not enact legislation to go back to it." He said some farmers had ex- pressed to him a willingness to take price cuts if they could op- erate without controls. "I don't know how widespread this feeling is," Sec. Benson added. Lunn Calls Colonialism Lost Cause "There is no question but that colonialism is on the way out, and it seems to me the UN is having force in this whether it likes it or not," Harry Lunn, '54, said yester- day. Speaking on "The United Na- tions and the Colonial Question" the former Daily Managing Editor and former president of the Na- tional Student Association describ- ed the UN as "not entirely a failure" in dealing with problems of self-determination. Lunn's talk was part of a five- man discussion sponsored by Stu- dent Government Council and the International Students Associa- tion. He praised the international which the colonial people may vo organization as a "channel through which the colonial peoples may voice their demands," and for a "host of voluntary organiza- tions in social and economic fielIs which train colonial peoples for self-government. Lunn said American students are working through the United States NSA and the International Student Conference in "supply- ing technical assistance and lead- ership training for young leaders in the underveloped and colonial areas." He observed that American stu- dents in international conventions are freer to sympathize with the cause of colonial peoples than the State Department, which must concern itself with the "practical ramifications" of American air bases in colonies and the friend- ship of the colonial powers. Hollis Peter, associate director of the Foundation for Research on Human Behavior and former chief] of American technical assistance to Lebanon, spoke of a "need to channel nationalism or anti-col- onialism toward constructive goals" through economic develop- ment. Peter suggested the UN get the colonial powers to agree to a scheduling of "regular steps" to- ward political sovereignty and eco- nomic development. He expressed the hope that such a UN role would prevent renigging on prom- ises of independence. Anwar Shaudhry, a law student from Pakistan remarked that "the white man's burden is breaking the back of the bearer" "Independence," he observed, "surely means more than economic well-being," but the "UN has not lived up to its expectations" in ending colonialism. WASHINGTON (P)- T he De- fense department yesterday absolv- ed two Democratic senators of any blame in the decision to fly them home from Europe in a special plane. The department also expressed formal regrets over any embar- rassment that might have been caused the legislators. Special Mission A statement issued by the Pen- tagaon said that a review of the incident had established that neither Sen. John L. McClellan D-Ark. nor Sen. John C. Stennis D-Miss. requested "nor where they made aware" that the Air Force planned to fly special mis- sion aircraft to Madrid to pick them up and fly them home with members of their families and staff representatives of the Sen- ate Appropriations Committee. l "Sen. McClellan and Sen. Sten- nis are in no way responsible for the Air Force's decision" to dis- patch the big aircraft to Spain, the statement said, and "it is regret- ted that the incident caused em- barrassment to the senators," j The Pentagon said also that at the request of Sen. Dennis Chavez D-NM, another touring senator who plans to fly home Nov. 8, the special aircraft scheduled to return him and the remainder of the party has been canceled. No Request Sen. Chavez said last week he had "requested nothing" in the matter of any special flight. The cost of two special flights had been estimated at $20,000. The Pentagon statement was is- sued after Sen. McClellan and Sen. Stennis returned earlier yest- erday, both bridling at reports that they had demanded special treatment. The two senators had made their way from Madrid to Ger- many and flew back on a regular- ly scheduled plane operated by the Military Air Transport Service. Demand Explanation Upon their arrival they de- manded en explanation from the Defense Department of published reports that the department was dispatching two airliners to Eur- ope because the legislators said they had to be back yesterday and there was no other regular MATS plane available for them.I Sen. McClellan told reportersc that "if there was any intent toX embarrass me, I positively refuse to be embarrassed by it."

DECISION REVERSED: Supreme Court Deals Movie Censors 1low WASHINGTON RI)-The Supreme Court dealt movie censors another setback yesterday., Without a dissenting voice, the court struck down a ruling by the Kansas Supreme Court which upheld the banning of a motion picture, "The Moon is Blue," as obscene. Wide-Eyed The film, widely shown several year ago, is a romantic comedy concerning a young girl's wide-eyed attitude toward sex. She has in on t ad eurefi with n an n1ei e t4.Lv MVltr IPML older man who is an avowed wolf. In a brief, unsigned order the court said "judgment reversed" and cited a decision by it in 1952. The 1952 ruling involved "The Miracle." The court said then New York could not ban the film on the ground that it is sacreligious. But the court added it wa4 necessary for it to decide whether a state should censor pictures "under a clearly drawn statute designed and applied to prevent the showing of obscene films." "The Miracle" Case. By citing its ruling in "The Miracle" case, the court indicated that the Kansas censorship regu- lations failed to meet the stand- ards laid down in the 1952 deci- sion. In another action, the court de- clined to pass on whether local police may require motorists ac- cused of drunken driving to take blood tests. With Justices Stanley Reed and William O. Douglas dissenting and Chief Justice Earl Warren taking no part, the court said "The re- cord in this case fails to establish that a federal question is pre- sented." The vote was 6-2.

Threat to French France sat tight, its 10-year economic control of the Saar ob- viously threatened by the upsurge of German national feeling, but there were indications from Paris that some kind of calm compro- mise would be sought. Premier Edgar Faure and Chan- cellor Konrad Adenauer exchang- ed telegrams,'expressing their con- viction that German-French re- lations must not be upset by the results of the Saar election, In other capitals of Europe, tied to both France and West Germany by the NATO alliance, anxiety and suspicion were manifest over the the Saar's home-tothe-fatherlazd trend.
