Member of The Associated The Associated Press is entitled exclusively to the sjisu ifB was sb lad'BdsAVi Press uje (or republlcatlon of all sjql ui paiaud tbdo Gold Outflow Unchecked Action of the Federal Reserve Board in raisinp its rediscount rate borrowing pay for 31 per cent is described as aimed at aiding the government to reduce the international payments deficit. But this move can have only a slight effect, according to orthodox economists. At the rate of the first half-year balance of payments deficit, 1963 will close with a free gold balance in the U.

S. Treasury equivalent to only slightly more than a one-vear demand by foreign governments. The gold balance at the end of the year will be S15 billion, and outstanding gold claims of other governments will top $25 billion. But this imbalance does not reveal the whole tragedy of U. S.

largesse to its allies at the expense of its own fiscal solvency, because $12 billion of the gold reserves must by law be withheld as partial backing for Federal Reserve currency. Should this restriction be lifted, claims would still outweigh reserves by two to one. Moves made in recent years to discourage some of the contributors to the payments imbalance without attacking the major causes have had little effect. As an example, the $100 duty exemption limit permitted American overseas travelers on goods brought home has been in effect for several years, but the volume of goods purchased abroad continues to grow. At the current rate, the 1963 payments deficit will total $3.3 billion, one of the largest since international losses reached alarming proportions in 1958.

Economic and military aid to other governments and support of American military forces overseas still contribute most heavily to the deficit. American officials have been trving for many months to get European allies to shoulder a 'arger share of European defense expenditures, but with the exception of West Germany there has been little affirmative response. Foreign aid at the multi-billion-dollar level is one of the endless involvements of government which can be roundly condemned by armies of experts but keeps bouncing back interminably. It accounts for the largest portion of U. S.

credits going abroad. No doubt more remedial action will be attempted this year. Necessity, not voluntary desire to nt fiscal affairs in order, will call the tune. Highe- interest rates can not be sufficiently effective MARY ELIZABETH GANZE. ARTHUR GEORGE ARE MARRIED AT POWELL Summer Preachers Summer is the season when the guest preacher flowers most profusely.

In pulpits from one end of this land to the other, visiting dispensers of the word, and of comment thereon, have their hour. There is a certain value in this, not only for congregations but also for the pulpit visitor and even, in many cases, for the regular occupant of the pulpit. It is always good to hear ideas, even old and well loved ideas, expressed from a somewhat different viewpoint. The summer congregation profits by this; it may gain new insight by listening to familiar thoughts differently expressed. The visiting pastor may also gain, if only from the additional stimulus of knowing that what he says will come freshly to his listeners.

There is an element of challenge in confronting a new audience; it puts a man on his mettle, and prompts him to make his very effort. As for the regular minister probably speaking as a guest in distant pulpits), he mav gain either by favorable comparison with the visitor or. somewhat more painfully, by learning on his return that the guest minister performed well enough to constitute a challenge. Not a challenge in the vulgar sense, but a renewed call to speak truth more persuasively, more excitingly, than ever before. So summer is an admirable time for looking at things from new angles.

It is not a time for religious doldrums, as is so often the case, but for a new testing of old beliefs and for a fresh look at man in world. Crowded Summit MRS James T. West Among Buyers Transport Line James T. West, Corsicana, and John Young and Robert Hall, both of Dallas, have purchased the Herrin Transportation company, multi-million-dollar motor freight complex headquartered in Houston, according to The Associated Press.

Hence the Soviet proposal for an 111-member summit. Khrushchev came to the UN in I960, along with a score of presidents, kings and dictators.

And even though he pounded his assembly desk with shoe, somehow the international situation cured. From the Kremlin viewpoint, the obstinate West which has refused to disarm without adequate safeguards, which balks at ratifying the lejritimacv of the East German puppet regime, which relieve the Russians of their commitment to a Germany unified by free electoins. An interesting sidelight is that the Russians still see themselves as UN members in good standing in 1965. Do they expect American taxpayers to pay their dues?

British-Built Ford Replicap Blows Cylinder Bv RICHARD WAGSTAFF CRYSTAL PALACE, England, July 29 auto racing champion Graham Hill took over the Tiller of a 1963 Replica of the first Ford It later blew up.

The machine, a quadricycle to give it its correct name, was fashioned by 20 British apprentices to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Henry Ford father of the mass produced automobile. Hill took the two-gear, belt- driven quadricycle around the Crystal Palace racing circuit and reached 30 miles an hour on the straight. he said, "the original only did 20 mph." Then came the disaster. He handed over the quaint brakeless horseless carriage to a party of newspapermen to try out. Before it could get going one of the exposed cylinders blew up suddenly and the little engine popped and spluttered to a halt.

It was 67 years ago that Henry Ford took his prototype out on its first trial run. The Replica was built without plans or blueprints. It took a year to construct with the aid of the Parent Company in Detroit. There were a few red faces alter the Replica blew up but all agreed it was just teething troubles. Said Roger Turner, one of the apprentices who helped fashion the machine: soon have it fixed and on the road again." Hill commented: "The trouble is that it is better than the original and the design couldn't stand up to 49th Armored Opens Training NORTH FT.

Assistant Scoutmasters John Henry Juengerman and Bill Miller will present the aw'ards Tha Scoutmaster of troop is Sam Garrett Cynthia Hopes Autumns TV Tops By CYNTHIA LOWRY HOLLY This is the season when television columnists visit this busy film community for a preview of fall and winter programs. This activity involves visiting a lot of film studios and talking with producers, stars, writers and press agents. Each will inform the reporter that the series with which he is connected is going to be fresh, new, imagine tive, off-beat, creative, just the hit of the fall season. Wait-and-See The reporter will jot down the superlatives and privately maintain a steely wait-and-see cynical and not entirely unbelieving.

After all, it was exactly 12 months ago when Buddy Ebsen, looking like a caricature of a southern mountaineer, was explaining earnestly that he believed a ridiculous comedy series called would be a hit of the season. Most people were incredulous. From Culver City on the south to the studios in the San Fernando Valley to the north, production of television programs is in high gear. One of the trade dailies put the number at 68 series, about 15 fewer than last year. However, some of the panie.s rearranged their shooting on next season's product through the spring and early summer so they could take a long break in July and August.

This is a popular idea, because it gives the series actors a chance to appear in summer stock and it gives the technical crews a chance to take vacations at a time when their children are out of school.

Several shows had been completed and some $750,000 spent on it, NBC gives no reason for the cancellation.

It plans to replace it with an hour-long series about Sam son, a series about a lawyer, but with an old west flavor. Meanwhile, the small crop of summer replacement shows dropped into network spots have held little excitement or interest. Biggest disappointment, perhaps, was Keefe Brasselle on CBS, which was smartly produced and rather attractive, but woefully lacking in material- particularly comedy.
