COUNCIL ONPAREIL KEY t5 SOUTHWESTERN IOWA VOL XCIX--No. 283 Telephone 4061 COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1956 PRICE 5 CENTS On 'System Of Cooperation'. Egypt Offers Negotiation With "Users' UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)--Egypt and Russia Monday rejected the British-French approach to the Suez dispute but called for U.N.

negotiations to establish a cooperative arrangement for the operation of the canal. Both told the U.N. Security Council that it is hopeless to seek a solution on the basis of the international control proposal backed by Britain and France. Details of the proposed cooperative arrangement were not spelled out by Egyptian Foreign Minister Mahrnoud Fawzi, but he said it would protect both the interests of the canal users and the sovereignty of Egypt. The idea of a cooperative ar- ja.ngement was set forth by Fawzi in a speech in which i he proposed creation of a negotiat- ing committee to seek a solution, The cooperative arrangement, he said, would be one of the objectives.

Mild And Conciliatory Fawzi criticized Britain and France for their handling of the Suez question, but for the most- part his speech was mild and aon- ciliatory. Soviet Delegate Dmitri Shepilov quickly lined up behind Fawzi in favor of the establishment of a negotiating committee. He suggested that the committee might consist of either six or eight countries. The body, he said, might include the United States, Russia, Britain, France, India and Egypt--or, if a larger body were desired, it might also include Yugoslavia and Iran or Indonesia and Sweden. Shepilov called on British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd and French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau to withdraw the resolution which they placed before the 11- nation council last Friday.

He said any effort to have the councD condemn Egypt nation-. alizmg the Suez "is fraught with the gravest consequences Undermine U.Jf.

"We do not think it wise or profitable to reintroduce proposals which already have been rejected," he said.

The plan, submitted to the council last Friday by Britain and France, called on the council to endorse the London recommendations for international control of the 103-mile waterway Egypt to use these recommendations as a basis for negotiation.

Eye Three Moves On Post Office Project General Services Administration representatives, meeting here Monday, possible moves towards construction of a new Council Bluffs Post Office and Courthouse. They were: Negotiations with contractors over construction and financing, Readvertising for bids.

Returning the project to the Bureau of the Budget for a major revision in specifications. Those measures were advanced by Joe E. Moody, assistant general counsel for the GSA at Washington. Would Speed Up Project Moody and'other GSA officials began holding discussions here with contractors and bonding representatives to "speed up the financing and construction" of the project. The GSA.

last Wednesday rejected 4 bids for the job because they were "excessive." The low bid was a $1,506,000 price tag quoted by the Parsons Construction Co. of Omaha. Moody said the meeting here was aimed at finding out "why we didn't get more bids." He said the GSA officials would meet with contractors, investors and any other interested parties to discuss the 'project. At least 2 Council Bluffs contracting firms Andersen Construction and Larsen Brothers -were scheduled to be represented at the sessions. Moody emphasized that no decision yet been reached on the GSA's next move.

ed in our discussions," he said. The talks, he predicted, may take the rest of this week, If the GSA decides to negotiate for the construction, Moody emphasized, the negotiation would be conducted on an open basis and all contractors would the same opportunity to submit offers for the contract. Under the law. he pointed out, the GSA was required to extend an invitation to any interested contractor to in the negotiations. Moody said the GSA also has the authority to put the bidding "back on the market tomorrow," if it wishes.

Third Possibility The third possibility sending the project back to the Bureau of the Budget would be necessary if a major change in specifications were recommended. Moody said it was possible that somp alternative types of construction, that would accomplish the original blueprint for the building, could be worked out through negotiation. "We don't feel, though, that we (the GSA) would have the authority to make a big change like dropping either the courthouse or post office phase of the plan." Moody did not disclose the exact amount available for the Council Bluffs installation. Some "We're just now getting start- danger at the scene. -Two Rock Island trains, a passenger and a freight, were converging on the scene from opposite directions.

The passenger train was due on the scene about 11:50 a. about five minutes after Robinson was pulled to safety. However it had been warned of the $1,500,000 originally was set up but part of that already has been used. One of the big roadblocks to the project has been the method of financing the work. Moody said a government order to limit the interest rate charged by underwriters to 4 per cent "is still in affect." The GSA representative also hoped to iron out an ethical ruling by the Iowa Master Builders that their members are not permitted to enter negotiations on contracts with six months after bids have been opened.

Kenneth R. Lewis of Des Moines, the organization's secretary met with (he GSA representatives Monday. Lewis said he was interested in protecting the Builders' rule "to preserve competition." He said he would recommend I that the GSA "either negotiate with the low bidder (Parsons Con-! struction Co.) or call for new bids within a limited time." Others who met with-the group included Charles Hannan of the City National Bank, E. R. McDonnell of the McDonnell Insurance Elmer Anderson of New i York, secretary of the 'Surety Assn.

The Weatherman expects this to be the last and the coldest-in a series of air outbreaks from Canada. Some frosts will accompany the mid-30 readings.

Tuesday afternoon the mercury at Council Bluffs will go back to the sunny mid-70s. Monday afternoon's temperature was to be in the upper 70s, with some winds. Freezes At Hamburg Hamburg had its first freeze Sunday morning, when stock tanks were covered with one- fourth on an inch of ice. Monday afternoon the high here was 7p. degrees.

The Monday morning- low was 53 degrees. Sioux City had Iowa's high with 77 and Dubuque measured 45 degrees for the low. Nebraska's range was from 92 at Valentine to 37 at Chadron. For the next five days Western Iowa temperatures will be about normal, while they drop four degrees normal along the eastern border. Average highs are 65 north to 69 south.

Average lows are 41 north to 46 south. The warming trend expected Friday will be followed by colder weather Saturday. No precipitation of consequence is foreseen. Nebraska's five-day forecast calls for near normal in the east and three degrees above normal in the west. Average highs are 70 and lows 43 west to 49 east.

Court To Rule On Committee Action WASHINGTON X--The Supreme Court Monday agreed to rule whether congressional committees can compel witnesses to identify onetime Communists. The question produced two conflicting decisions from the U. S. Court of Appeals here. The Ml eight-man appeals court split 6-2 in deciding committees had such power.

This overturned an earlier decision by a panel of the same court. Specifically at issue is the contempt of Congress conviction of John T. Watkins of Rock Island, I an organizer for the United Auto Workers Union. Called before the HOUSP Committee on Un-Amencan Activities on seven, including the last man to face him, pinch i te Dalt Mitchell. Crowd Breathless A crowd of 64,519 was almost breathless at the finish as Larsen set a new series record by retiring 24 Dodgers in order through the first eight innings and faced the tailend of the Brooklyn batting order with a.

perfect game in sight. Mantle's homer into the lower right field stands in the fourth inning was the deciding blow, although the Yanks got three more hits off Sal Maglie in the sixth and scored a second run. Only Five Hits Maglie, winner of the firsf game of the series, pitched weJJ enough to win most games. He gave up only five hits, walked two and fanned five. The nearest previous approach to a World Series no-hitter was in 3947, when Floyd (Bill) Sevens of the Yankees held the Dodgers hitless for 8 2-3 innings before pinch- hitter Cookie Lavaqetto made a single.

Sevens gave up 10 walks that time and lost, the game, 3-2. Spai-itling Defen.se Larsen wasn't in danger at any time, although a couple of sparkling defensive plays by the Yanks helped him out. Maglie retired Yanks in order at the start before Mantle hit his homer--his third of the current series and his eighth in World Series competition. Sal gave up three more hits in the sixth and one in the seventh. The Yankees' second run came from a single by Andy Carey, Larson's sacrifice hunt and Hank Bauer's single.

Bauer didn't get beond third as he was trapped on Mantle's grounder to first and the Dodgers turned it into a double play. The previous record for a starting pitcher in setting down the opposition in order was 22 in a row. Herb Pennock of the Yanks fKKFKCT GAME (Continued on 11) Gustav A.
