ArUniu Ik Reserve Board Chief Says: Signs Indicate Slump IE tiding as mEMl (qi WASHINGTON, May 1J UP! -Chairman William McChesney Martin of the Federal Reserve Board said Tuesday he sees some hopeful, but not conclusive, signs that the recession is leveling off. Martin, who avoided making any fiat predictions, said "the rate of decline has been slower for some time" but added: "We must be very careful about being over-optimistic or over-cautious." Meanwhile, the Commerce Department put out a revision of its figures on the nation's total production of goods and services for the first three months of this year. This showed that the current recession is unmistakably the worst of those that have hit the Show OMForce Called Merely (Precautionary Paratroopers, Marines Will Be Prepared To Cooperate In Bringing End To Riots WASHINGTON, May 13 -President Eisenhower, $3.6 Billion Program aroused by mob action against Vice President Nixon in Venezeuela, rushed paratroopers and Marines to the Caribbean Tuesday night.

William Colmer (D-Miss) to Smashed Windows Of Nixon Car Here it a closeup of the shattered windows of the car in which Vice President Richard Nixon rode Tuesday through jeering Venezuelan mobs in Caracas. The vice president's car was badly dented and its windows, broken by kicks and blows from sticks and lead pipes. Nixon was not injured in the anti-United States demonstration. (AP Wire photo by radio from Port of Spain, Trinidad) Escaped Injury 'By Luck' TWENTY-SIX PAGES force, the Defense Depart ment announced that two companies of airborne troops and two of Marines were being flown to U. S.

bases in the Caribbean area, which Venezuela adjoins. Altogether, the four companies add up to about 1,000 troops. The department called this only a precautionary measure, undertaken so as to be in a position "to cooperate with the Vene- zulean government if assistance is requested." In the memory of old-time observers here, it was the first instance where a good will mission by an American leader resulted in calling out Marines and troops. Nixon and Mrs. Nixon were spat upon in Caracas Tuesday by jeering mobs, composed largely of students.

Their car was battered with rocks. Previously, university students at Lima, Peru, hurled stones and spat at Nixon in another violent display of anti-Americanism. The dispatch of troops, considered certain to bring cries of "Yankee imperialism" from Latin American critics of this country's policies, came at a time while the situation in Venezuela appeared still confused. Early Tuesday night, Presiden tial Press Secretary James C. Hagerty said reports fron Venezuela indicated government security forces there were now adequately protecting Nixon and his party from further mob action.

This was after Eisenhower had urgently demanded and received assur ances that Venezuela would adopt 'every possible means" to pro tect Nixon. But while Hagerty was speak ing of adequate protection, a news dispatch from Caracas said new mob violence had broken out at the government palace. This occurred as members of Venezuela's ruling junta returned from a meeting with Nixon. The government leaders' cars were stoned and two windows of one were smashed. Soldiers fired into the air and used tear gas to disperse the mob.

There were no indications, how ever, that these latest outbreaks involved Nixon or his party personally. The orders for the troop move ment emanated from President Eisenhower, it was disclosed at the Pentagon. In answer to a question, a De fense Department spokesman said: The orders were issued by the chief of staff of the Army and the chief of naval operations following consultation of the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and the secretary of defense with the President." The chief of staff of the Army is Gen. Maxwell B. Taylor.

The chief of naval operations is-Adm. Arleigh Burke.

Alvin M. Bentley (R.Mich) to cut 340 million from the $1,640,000,000 proposed for military aid to 41 countries in the fiscal year beginning July 1. The Bentley amendment had been billed as the rallying point for opponents of the measure and perhaps was the severest test for the administration's supporters. In another major vote, the House defeated 91-60 a move by Rep. E.

Ross Adair (R-Ind) to strip 100 million dollars from the 775 million proposed in economic aid to support foreign defense programs. The congressmen shouted down an amendment by Rep. Roy W. Wier (D-Minn) to knock out all military aid. One Will Be Chosen GEN.

JACQUES MASSU MM Union Strikes At Convair But Other Anxraft Plants Peaceful LOS ANGELES, May 13 UPV-A strike at Convair's Pomqna, plant Tuesday marred the generally placid labor situation in Southern California's aircraft and missile industry. The International Assn. of Machinists struck the Pomona plant early Tuesday. But a company spokesman said that 3,333 of the company's 4,476 employes remained on the job. A picket line was set up.

No disorders were reported, however. The Pomona plant produces Terrier and Tartar missiles for the Navy. Shortly after Convair was struck, a tentative agreement was reached between Douglas and the United Auto Workers. Involved are 25,000 workers at Douglas plants in Long Beach, Tulsa, and Charlotte, N. C.

Union members will vote on the proposals next Sunday. Douglas and IAM negotiators continued their talks Tuesday on new contracts affecting about Douglas workers at Santa Monica and El Segundo, Calif. A company spokesmen said Douglas has offered the machinists the same wage package it made the UAW. The union is considering the offer. The Douglas-UAW agreement approximates others reached at Lockheed, North American and at Convair's San Diego, plant.

It gives 2 to 11-cent hourly wage hikes and puts the 16-cent cost of living figure into the basic wage scale. The range for factory work ers has been $1.79 to $2.91 an hour and $1.69 to $3.15 an hour for technical and office workers. Police Have Good Cry After False Alarm DETROIT, May 13 A dozen policemen answering a holdup alarm rushed into the bank of the Commonwealth's branch on West Grand Boulevard Tuesday. They came right out again and joined the bank's- eight employes in a good cry on the sidewalk. A wiring defect had set off the alarm and turned on the bank's six tear gas jets full blast.

New Launching There were 136 abstentions. The vote came after the assembly had been rocked with wild disorders over word from Algiers that a parachute troops general had declared himself head of a committee of public union there. Gen. Jacques Massu, in proclaiming a Rightist military regime, declared Paris must follow a similar pattern to keep Algeria part of France. Ke demanded that President Rene Coty bring in Gen.

Charles de Gaulle In a strong man role as premier. The assembly action also followed heated demonstrations in Paris itself. Thousands of shouting Parisians broke through police barriers and marched on the Assembly building Tuesday. They protested any softening of French policy toward rebellious Algeria. There was some fighting and several dozen arrests before the demonstrators were driven off.

PIERRE PFLIMLIN Pflimlin, 51-year-old head of the Catholic Popular Republican Movement (MRP), won out largely through the indirect lift given him by the Communists. In last minute decision, they abstained instead of voting against Pflimlin as they originally planned. The Reds switched their decision under the pressure of Tuesday's events in Algeria. The Conservatives, on whom Pflimlin had counted, went solidly against him. Massu in Algiers proclaimed himself leader of the- so-called Committee of Public Salvation- Including civilians but dominated by military men and said he would not leave Algeria until a similar committee is set up in Paris.

The over-all French commander of troops in Algeria, Gen. Raoul Salan, apparently is working side by side with Massu but is not listed as a committee member. Algiers radio under parachutist control broadcast communiques from both' the Committee and Salan. One of Salan's said: "Having the mission to protect you, I provisionally take in my hands the destiny of French Algeria. "I ask you to have confidence in the Army and its chiefs and to show this through your calm and your determination." The radio announced committees of public safety are being formed by military and civilian groups at the big port of Oran and other Algerian cities.

Massu's dramatic move on the political front seemed clearly to go beyond the normal discretionary powers of a general officer. It capped a day of violence directed against the transitory French government of Paris and both French and American establishments in Algiers, the teeming, violence ridden capital of French North Africa. The U.S. Information Service library was wrecked. Massu's group also "used the radio to broadcast its own communiques.

The Federal Reserve's Martin noted in his testimony that things have greatly changed since a year ago, when he was worried about inflation. "We still have a wage-cost-price spiral," he said, but "there are more recessionary tendencies than there are Inflationary." In' recent months the Federal Reserve has taken series of steps to make credit easier, and Martin told the senators that the results have been amazing and dramatic. U.N.

Chief Seeks New U.S.-Russ Arms Talks UNITED NATIONS, May 13 Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold conferred Tuesday with representatives of the United States and the Soviet Union in a new effort to open East-West disarmament talks. Informed quarters said Hammarskjold was trying to move in quickly to take advantage of the apparent willingness of the Russians to discuss safeguards to go along with the proposed ban of nuclear tests.
