The resolution said more aid is needed.

Without mentioning any names, it said North Atlantic Treaty nations and other countries should "do more than they are doing now" to speed development of backward areas. It proposed that a commission of "outstanding independent economists" be assembled to determine how much aid is needed and how much each of the "more developed" countries could afford to provide. Proposed by Javlts The resolution was drafted by the conference's economic committee headed by Sen. Jacob K. Javits It proposed that the organization for European economic cooperation convene the commission of experts and include economists from both developed and underdeveloped countries.

Javits told the conference this "new approach" was advisable because prospects dim for increased U.S. economic immediate future. He warned that additional aid for underdeveloped countries depends on nations supplying more aid in with the United States. The conference, attended by 150 lawmakers from all 15 NATO countries, except Luxembourg, winds up its five-day session Friday. Soviet Order For American Goods Blocked WASHINGTON (UPD The Commerce Department has blocked an effort by the Soviet Union to buy $15,556,207 worth of American stainless steel.

The department said Wednesday night the applications were disapproved under regulations prohibiting shipment to Communist countries of materials having strategic value in wartime. In addition to the stainless steel sheet, plate and tubing, the department turned down requests to ship Russia $176,455 worth of chemicals, plastics and synthetic rubber. The department would not identify the U. S. firms involved.

Officials said they felt the export license requests indicated the Soviets were serious about doing business with the U. S. firms and were not merely putting out feelers to test possible changes in U. S. export controls.

Cranberries from lots totaling more than four million pounds already have been tested and found to be free of contamination from the weed killer aminotriazole. Gives Details Flemming said the plan, worked out with representatives of the cranberry industry would: 1.

Assure proper testing of fresh cranberries and processed cranberry products in all stages of and retail- before they are offered to the consuming public. 2. Provide for approved labels which the housewife can look for to be sure the package, can or bottle she buys is from tested cranberries. The plan was developed at a series of private conferences after industry leaders had put forth their own suggestions at a public hearing Wednesday. Government officials are understood to have countered with some suggestions of their own as both sides sought to agree on a course of action.

A cloud of suspicion has hung over cranberry products since Flemming told a news conference 10 days ago that traces of a weed killer had been found on some of the berries grown in the Pacific Northwest. He said the weed killer, aminotriazole, had produced cancer when fed to rats. TRAGIC TRIP Harlow M. Curtice, top, grieved today over the death of his friend, Harry W. Anderson, whom he accidentally killed in a hunting accident.

UNIFAX Successor to Sen. Langer Is Selected BISMARCK, N.D. (UPD-Gov. John Davis today named former Gov. Norman Brunsdale, Mayville, to succeed the late William Langer as United States senator.

Brunsdale, who served three terms as state senator, was appointed to the vacancy just 11 days after the maverick Republican died in his Washington home. Brunsdale, a Republican, will serve under the appointment until after the June, 1960, primary election at which a successor will be elected to serve out the remainder of Langer's term. Langer was reelected a year ago to a fourth term. Davis told one of the biggest assemblages of newsmen in state history: "I have felt that my choice should fall upon a man who would command from all our people the highest respect for his ability, his fairness, his experience, his knowledge of the problems of our people, and his unswerving loyalty to the cause of the people whom he would represent." Wife Is Missing LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPD -Albert Headley was granted a divorce from his wife, Bunnie, on the assumption she left him.

Headly said he hasn't seen her for 29 years. Ex-President Of GM Shaken By Accident WALPOLE ISLAND, Ont. (AP) and shaken from grief and shock, Harlow H. Curtice, retired president of General Motors accompanied the body of the friend he had accidentally shot and killed out of the St. Clair River marshes.

"Harry Anderson was my very- dear friend for many years," the tall, "dignified industrialist said. The 66-year-old Curtice was ashen faced and had difficulty mustering words in describing the hunting accident to Ontario provincial police Wednesday. Harry W. Anderson, 67, a retired GM vice president, was killed by a blast from a 12-gauge shotgun fired by Curtice as they were hunting ducks on Ste. Anne's Island in the St.

Clair River, between the United States and Canada. Seated Together Provincial said the accident occurred at 11 a.m. Wednesday. Curtice and Anderson were sitting side-by-side in a duck blind in the marshes. Anderson stood up just as Curtice raised his gun and fired at a flock of ducks passing over.

The charge struck Anderson in the right side of the head. A Chippewa Indian guide was hiding about 25 feet behind the blind. The guide said Curtice aimed at the lead duck of the flock and as he fired Anderson stood up and stumbled directly into the line of fire. The hunters had been waiting in vain for several hours for ducks to show up and were almost ready to quit. Curtice retired as president of GM Aug.

31, 1958. He is still a GM director. Anderson retired Dec. 31, 1956. He leaves his wife, Veda, 40, and a 4-year-old daughter, Jane Kristan.

Other schools are opposed to the program for different reasons. The loyalty oath is required by the National Defense Act of 1958, which put the student loan fund into operation. Requires Affidavit Required is an affidavit staling the stu4ent does not belong to, believe in nr support any organization that believes or teaches the overthrow of the U.S. government by force or by any illegal or unconstitutional means. The student borrower also must swear an oath to uphold the U.S.

constitution. An effort to knock out the affidavit was made last summer in the U.S. Senate, but it failed. Last week, the 93-member Association of Land Grant Colleges and State Institutions told Congress in a resolution that opposition to the affidavit was growing throughout the nation. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Many colleges are protesting a loyalty oath required of needy college students seeking federal loans to help pay for their education.

Some other colleges are supporting the loyalty oath. Some are participating only because they feel their withdrawal from the problem would penalize deserving students. Yale President A. Whitney Griswold termed the affidavit "contrary to the classic principles of our colleges and universities." Harvard President Nathan M. Pu'sey called it an "affidavit of misbelief Dropping Out Both Yale and Harvard are among those schools dropping out of the program in protest against the affidavit.

Princeton University refused to participate at the outset of the program said President Robert F.

Columbia University has for- Mass ot Warm Air Caresses Most of U.S. By United Press International A mass of warm air from the Southwest today routed a record November cold wave. The Weather Bureau said the last effects of the arctic front that set record temperatures and left foot-deep 11,1 snows when it reached the Rocket Fails To At Flight Vap onze Top WASHINGTON (AP)- A second sodium vapor rocket was fired early today from Wallops Island, but it failed to eject its brilliant yellow cloud at the top of its flight. The rocket itself rose to 160 miles.

Civilian space scientists were unable to say immediately why the sodium vapor failed to spew cut of the rocket. Another sodium rocket fired Wednesday at dusk was visible for hundreds of miles along the eastern seaboard. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration plans a third sodium flare try Friday morning. The sodium clouds help scientists study wind currents at high altitudes. Another Fizzle Another rocket experiment at Wallops Island Wednesday night also fizzled.

That was an electron- counting device designed to travel up more than 1,000 miles. NASA said this morning's two- stage Nike Asp sodium rocket thundered up at 5:51 a.m. Eastern Standard Time just before dawn. At Cape Canaveral, Wednesday night the Army launched a Jupiter ballistic missile on a flight. The Army's Jupiter, an intermediate range missile, rose from its Florida pad trailing a mass of flame.

It streaked down tne Atlantic missile range on a scheduled 1,500 mile test flight and was to drop a dummy warhead near the island of Antigua. Goes Above Shadow The Wallops Island sodium vapor rocket rose above the earth's shadow into sunlight 150 miles up and spewed out a cloud of yellow sodium vapor for the study of wind conditions at that altitude. Later, the Wallops Island Scientists attempted to send a five stage research rocket to a-height of 1,000 miles or more to count electrons in the atmosphere at level. This rocket was called Strongarm II. But the third stage failed to ignite and the rocket only rose about 19 miles.

It plunged back into the Atlantic 13 miles off Wallops Island, instead of the 800 miles it was expected to cover. East Coast were fading fast. Temperatures across the nation climbed slowly above the normal seasoned average. Only the extreme Southeast still shivered in the frigid arctic air. Temperatures were reported below freezing in parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas.

i Warm Air Returns The Weather Bureau said temperatures would slightly today from the northern Great Lakes through the Dakotas and snow flurries would dampen the Dakotas, Montana and the Washington- Idaho area. But warmer air caressed the rest of a nation hit by some of the nastiest November weather on record. Ore boats and barge tows ply-, ing the Lakes and Mississippi River, respectively, were reported still hampered by ice that formed on the river and in bays off the lakes. But the Coast Guard said the lake freighters carrying vital iron ore to recently reopened steel mills still had time for more deliveries despite an early freeze- up and a half-foot-thick ice cover at the ports of Duluth, and Superior, on Lake Superior. Weather Kills Six The cold wave fired a parting shot Wednesday in the form of record low temperatures in Texas, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.

The nation's capital reported 21 degrees above zero. It was 6 above in West Virginia, and Texas teeth chattered at Corpus Christi, where it was 30, Beaumont, 27, and Laredo, 31. Pittsburgh thermometers dipped to above and it was 18 at Harrisburg and 14 at Erie, Pa. The freeze was blamed for at least six deaths, including two each in Montana and North Dakota and one each in Indiana and Illinois, where a Chicago woman was found frozen in her heatless apartment. Ford to Drop Edsel Line of Automobiles DETROIT (UPD- Ford Motor Co.

announced today it is discontinuing production of its Edsel line of cars which were introduced only two years ago in the 1958 model year. The company said retail sales of the Edsel line have been "particularly disappointing and considerably below sales in the periods following 1959 and 1958 model introductions." A Ford spokesman said he did not know exactly when the production would halt, but that it would be "as soon as possible." Other Lines Up Ford said demand for its other lines of cars was up since introduction of the 1960 models and that "in view of this high consumer preference for other lines and the severe decline in the demand for Edsel cars, the continued production of the Edsel is not justified." The F.dsel line, named for the late Edsel Ford, son of Henry Ford I and father of the current company president, Henry Ford II, was first manufactured in July of 1957, for the 1958 model year. Castro Calls on Cuban Labor to Back Revolution HAVANA Minister Fidel Castro early today called on Cuban labor to unite behind his revolution. He said a split now in the ranks of the workers would help the government's enemies. "The destiny of the nation and the revolution is in the hands of the working class," he told the opening session of a national labor meeting.

Workers May Have Vote on Steel Strike WASHINGTON (AP) Barring a settlement the next big step in the steel labor dispute will come two months from a government-held "last offer" The balloting, coming near the end of the 80-day Taft-Hartley law injunction period, will let the 500,000 workers in the basic steel ki- dustry decide whether they walk to accept their employers' final settlement offer. The poll is to be conducted by the National Labor Relations Board. It is due in the period between Jan. 5 and Jan.

20. Would Force Action If the workers should accept such final offers, the Steel workers Union presumably would be under a kind of moral compulsion to sign agreements on the final offers accepted. There is no legal compulsion. If the workers reject as has happened in each of the half dozen cases of such balloting in T-H emergency labor disputes in the presumably would be implying willingness to resume their strike. Whatever the outcome of the voting the Justice Department is required under the law to move to dissolve the injunction when the 80-day period ends, in this case about Jan.

25. Between now and mid-January when the "last offer" voting is to take place, the government of course will continue striving for a settlement that would avoid the necessity of the balloting. Indications of A $81 Billion Federal Budget Court Makes New Rule in Brando Rift SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP)Actor Marlon Brando says his ex- wife threatened him with a butcher knife and threw a tricycle at him. She says he beat her, threw her to the floor and terrorized her.

Both say the -spanking bouts were the other's fault. A judge read details of their violent battles Wednesday, then clamped new rules on Brando's visits to their baby son. Eighteen month old Christian Devi is the center of the turmoil. Judge Mervyn A. Aggeler ordered Anna Kashfi to stay out of Brando's sight when he goes to see the baby.

The privacy-loving actor and India-born Miss Kashfi made their troubles public through documents filed in superior court. Their dispute is over Brando's right to visit the child. She was given custody under terms of their April divorce, along with half a million dollars. The judge postponed permanent until Jan. 13.

Meanwhile, he ordered that Brando give two hours advance notice before visiting the child. He can visit for 2Vi hours each on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Deficit for Current Year Seems Likely 'AUGUSTA, Ga. (UPI) Strong indications of a new federal budget in excess of 81 billion dollars and a deficit this year because of the steel strike came out of a meeting between President Eisenhower and Budget Director Maurice H. Stans today.

Stans met here with the President for two hours, going over nonmilitary items in the budget for fiscal 1961' which begins next July 1. The budget for the present fiscal year is estimated at about $78,900,000,000 and the administration had been hoping for a revenue surplus of about 100 million dollars. Balanced Budget Unlikely Stans told reporters before flying back to Washington shortly before noon that because of the steel strike and lower steel company profits, "the odds are swinging against a balanced budget" this year. "The recoupment of steel profits probably will come largely in calendar 1960," Stans said, adding that the resulting increase in tax Teamsters Union Group Asks Judge To Oust Hoffa WASHINGTON (AP) Godfrey Schmidt, attorney for a group of rank-and-file members of the Teamsters Union Wednesday asked the ouster of Teamsters President James R. Hoffa.

Schmidt, in a motion mailed from New York City to U. S. Dist. Judge F. Dickinson Letts in Washington, asked for Hoffa's ouster on grounds that Hoffa deprived Teamster members of rights Teach Them Respect OAKLAND, Calif.

(UPI) A group of angry housewives got this response from Alameda County Supervisor Emanuel Raz- eto to their petition for action against an invasion of black flies: "We can't legislate against flies. They don't respect our laws." guaranteed by the new la bor law. The motion further seeks Hoffa's trial on charges previously filed by Schmidt alleging misuse of union powers. Teamster members bringing the action are Andrew Boggia, Ed McFarland, Frank Kennedy, Hobart Gale, Joe Malloy, Harold Will, Thomas Manning, John McGlynn, John Olsen, Steve Milone, John McManus and George Becker. All are from the New York City area.

Uncooperative The motion accused Hoffa of consistent unwillingness to cooperate with a three-man board of monitors appointed by the court to regulate Hoffa's administration of union affairs. The formation of the board stemmed from legal action by Schmidt on behalf of rank-and- file Teamsters opposed to Hoffa's control. Schmidt charged that the union's Executive Board members, who normally would consider charges against -Hoffa "are not capable of impartial adjudication."

(UPI) United States and other Western powers fought today for an urgent United Nations debate to arouse the world against further killings of Hungarian freedom fighters. The Soviet Union carried on a bitter battle to prevent the U.N.

General Assembly from reopening the question of the Hungarian revolution and its bloody suppression by the Soviet army. It appeared Russia would lose. Win First Round It won the first round it the East-West battle Wednesday night by gaining postponement, with no new date set, of a meeting of the Assembly's steering committee originally set for this afternoon to take up the request of Sir Leslie Munro of New Zealand, special U.N. representative on the Hungarian question, to put the issue on the agenda. With that meeting off, the main business at the United Nations today was the Assembly's main political committee debate on the Indian-led 23-power demand that all nations forego nuclear tests.

U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge assured the Assembly the United States was at the forefront of nations supporting Munro's request for reopening debate on the Hungarian question. "The Assembly must speak out strongly against the brutalizing of the Hungarian people," Lodge said. President of Mexico Receives Auastas Mikoyan revenue to the government would come in the next fiscal year, rather than this year. Stans said that "built-in" increases in federal spending pointed to an increase of about two billion dollars in expenditures dur-.

ing the next fiscal year. Thus, he said it seemed highly unlikely that the government could come up with an overall budget that did not reflect this increased cost, Half For Military The size of the military budget for next year is expected to be about 41 billion dollars, and this, considered together with what Stans called "built-in" increases in other forms of government spending, pointed to an overall budget of 81 billion dollars and probably more. The President obviously is having to spend more time resolving intra-service differences over the big military budget than in years past. He has set up another big defense budget conference here Saturday when the three service secretaries, Deputy Defense Secretary Thomas S. Gates and Dr.

Herbert York, director of research and engineering in the Defense Department, will fly here for a meeting. Other Conferences The President has held earlier conferences on the military bud- et at the Augusta National Golf Club, beginning with Secretary of Defense Neil H. McElroy and an array of Pentagon officials last Monday. Wednesday the Joint Chiefs of Staff spent two and a half hours with the President in his small office overlooking the golf course. Apparently the military budget for fiscal 1961, which begins next July 1, as far as an overall total is between 41 and 42 billion dollars.

The individual services are fighting, up until the last minute, however, to prevent the economy ax from biting too deeply into their own programs.
