This was disclosed yesterday
with publication of official pictures.

This compares with 21.5 pounds

ceive.
"But sound economics dictates
that productivity keep pace with
wages," he said, criticizing Reuth-
er's demands for a six per cent
wage hike and a. 30 hour work
week.
Rep. Yates declared the Repub-
licans are using "the old fright
treatment to make workers think
they will lose their jobs."
The Democratic legislator, said
business moves out of the state
because of diversification of indus-
try, attempts to locate nfar other
distribution centers and, atomic
bomb inspired efforts to decen-
tralize operations.
While some businesses are mov-
ing out of Michigan, others are
moving in, he told the audience.
Discussing' Michigan's tax
structure, the Detroiter said most
of the state's income is derived
from consumer sources such as
sales and gasoline taxes. "We cry
crocodile tears for business but
the consumer takes it on the
nose," he said.
Rep. Brown said Michigan in-
dustries now pay 169 million in
taxes. (Last year's state budget
was about 339 million he said.)

WASHINGTON (P) - Adlai E.
Stevenson personally delivered his
final report to Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles yesterday,
formally ending 24 days as the
Eisenhower administration's Dem-

After posing for pictures they
conferred for about one and one-
half hours in Dulles' office.
From the farewell meeting, Ste-
venson 'went to his sixth-floor
temporary office, gathered up his
belongings, polished off a bit of
detailed paper work and checked
out.
He will fly bacl home to Chi-
cago and his law practice today.
There was no evidence that Ste-
venson's major suggestions were
incorporated in the proposals to
be unveiled by President Dwight

JAKARTA, Indonesia (P) - In-
donesia's war of nerves on Holland
began spreading ripples of uneasi-
ness among -Americans and Brit-'
ons yesterday.
Eleven American women and
children from Sumatra, believed
to be the .first wave of ,a precau-
tionary evacuation of families of
oil company employes in Jakarta,
flew to Singapore.
The British Embassy suggested
to the British Chamber of Com-
merce that its members apply for
exit visas for dependents.
Neither of these developments
was accompanied by any hint of
an emergency affecting United
States or British personnel and
property similar to the anti-Dutch
measures.
.Determined to make a clean
sweep of independence for all the
former Netherlands East Indies,
Indonesia is demanding that the
Dutch hand over the jungles of
West New Guinea, the one re-
maining half-island 'under Hol-
land's rule.
Workers' Red flags have been
raised over Dutch banks, shipping
plantations and business which
have then passed under govern-
ment committees-with the door
left open to nationalization of the
Netherlands' one and one-half bil-
lion dollar investment in this 8-
year-old republic.

WASHINGTON M) - The
United States coldly dismissed
yesterday Soviet; Premier Nikplai
Bulganin's .new letter to President
Dwight D. Eisenhower as an at-,
tempt to influence next week's At-

Eisenhower met with, Secretary of'
State John Foster Dulles to review
final arrangements for the Allied
meeting opening in Paris Monday.
Privately, top officials de-
nounced Bulganin's latest bid as a

;Soviet proposals, including de-
mands fpr halting atomic-hydro-
gen tests Jan. 1 and suggestions
for new East-West meeting's.
A State Department spokesman
