Suspensions Face Firemen Bearing Arms DETROIT (UPI) Firemen who carry guns on duty because they claim they need the protection face immediate suspension. The Detroit Fire Commission Tuesday ruled firemen should not arm themselves even though the Detroit Fire Fighters Association claims firemen have come under increased harassment while answering calls. Included in the harassments were 119 incidents in an 11- month period which included the throwing of bottles and rocks at the firemen. Earl J.

Berry, president of the DFFA, said he will ask the Common Council to overrule the commission. The primary aim, he said, was to have drivers of fire rigs deputized so they could protect their colleagues. WASHINGTON (AP) United States exports topped imports, by $139 Commerce million Depart- in ment reported today, reversing the deficit division that had been recorded in foreign trade the month before. While there was an increase in exports, on a seasonally adjusted basis, the accompanying decline in imports was equally good news to government economists worried by the rising level purchases from other countries. Adjusted July exports and import figures were given as $2.803 billion and $2.664 billion, respectively.

For the first seven months of the year, the Commerce Department said, exports have been running at a seasonally adjusted annual of $32.8 billion, and thus should more than match imports running at an adjusted annual rate of $32.1 billion. But the projected surplus of $800 million looks weak beside last year's figures showing exports of $30.9 billion and imports of $26.8 billion a surplus of $4.1 billion. The Johnson administration had been hoping for the traditional dominance of U.S. exports over imports to bolster the over-all balance of payments stance this year. The comparatively poor performance in foreign trade during 1968-when two months showed an actual deficit -has given the administration little hope that this will occur.
