(INS)—The Indiana county clerks’ association apparently has set the wheels, jn motion for a court teat of a 1956 law whether it meant to or not. At its annual convention last month, the association voted not to obey a 1965 law requiring < Jerks to reveal income from sale of special marriage license certificates. But by office closing Monday. thA deadline since Jan. IB fell on Sunday this year, it appeared that a number of clerks had failed to file. Board of accounts examiner Hubert R. Wickersham said either a court test or a formal ruling by attorney general Edwin K Steers may be necessary.

Soldier Turns Down : Offer From YMCA l Rejects Offer To Purchase Orphanage WESTERN FRONT Korea (INS) ( —An Indiana soldier today turned , down an American YMCA offer to buy the orphanage he built near the silenced western front in Koreff Instead. PFC Fritz Moeller. ‘ Southport. Ind., said he would try to turn the orphanage over to a ’ private organisation which would be willing tb keep the children at the home he constructed. Moeller said he turned down the YMCA proposal because he understood the organisation might sell the orphanage and move the children to Seoul. He said: "I don’t want to do that.” The (11 told International News Service that turning over the orphanage is a "kind of long term dpmmltmeht. It may be hard to get someone to take it over.” The Indiana man said the World Vision organization which was started by Evangelist Billy Graham might take it over. "It looks like the best deal.” he commented. "I might give it to them.” Moeller has run up against another difficulty th trying to find someone togeach the blind children how to read braille. He said his efforts have failed so far because of the different ages of the children. _ In Seoul, the director of the American foundation for overseas blind said that the foundation was just instructing teachers and could not make any arrangements with Moeller. The soldier is scheduled to leave Korea in March and he is trying to find someone to take over the orphanage. Moeller said the assistant minister of public health for the South Korean government wrote to him offering help, but the soldier declined.

Israel Spokesman Assails Censure Opposes Resolution Before UN Council UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.(INS) — Israel's spokesman emotionally opposed today western and Soviet muttons before the UN security council condemning the Dec. 11 Israeli assault on a Syrian outpost near the Sea of Galilee. Israeli delegate Abba S. Eban at the same time rejected proposals that his country compensate Syria for (he attack in which 56 Syrians and six Israelis were killed. > Eban insisted that the attack was prompted by Syrian harassment of peaceful Israeli fishing in the Sea of Galilee. He said it would be an “affront" to Israel’s dead to pay reparations to the Arab states. Eban spoke after Syria called on the United States and other UN member states to stop all economic assistance to Israel in punishment for the attack. , . Syria ftas demanded Israel's expulsion from the UN and economic sanctions against her. Shukairy was expected to urge that the council spare no punitive steps against the Israelis. Most council members have endorsed in principle, at least, the payment of reparations by IsraeU Eban. however, has served notice he wll lask compensation for the killing of 80 Israelis in border disputes with the Arabs since 1950 should his country be called upon to' indemnify Syria for the Dec. 11 attack. Israel maintains the attack was in retaliation for Syrian interference With Israeli fishing in the Sea of Galilee. Fifty-Six Syrians and six Israelis were killed in the assault. The U.S. • British - French motion would condemn the attack as a violation of the Palestine truce and the UN charter. It also strongly Warns Israel against staging further armed attacks. Russia has sponsored a sterner resolution demanding that Israel pay compensation and threatening this country with UN economic and military sanctions. The measure is angled to promote favor with the Arab states.

Ellender In Favor 01 Surplus Sales No Opposition To Fdod Sale To Reds WASHINGTON (InS) —Senate agriculture committee chairman Allen J. Ellender (DLa.) aaid today he favors an administration proposal to sell or trade agricultural surpluses to Communist satellite nations. He said 4n an interview that he does not oppose the sale of any government-owned food stocks to .Russia "if it can be made known that such food comes from the United States,” Ellender said he would oppose any sale or trade of America’s mountainous food surpluses to Moscow if the Soviets could use the surpluses for propaganda purposes against the U. S. The senator emphasised “if the Russian people would be told that the purchases were from America and were not produced in Russia I'm for It.” ‘.•On the other hand," he added, “I'm for trading or helling our rurpluses to any of the satellites, regardless of whether they are told that the food came from this country. House agriculture committee chairman Harold D. Cooley (D---NO.) Is not so willing to agree to Mr. Eisenhower's proposal to repeal a section of the law that prohibits tlie sale of commodities to an unfriendly power. He told International News Service he will “probably" offer < bill soon to set up a nine-member bipartisan “disposal board” to go into the matter further. The North Carolinian suggests that the board be composed of four Democrats, four Republicans and the secretary of agriculture, who would serve as an ex offfclo member. Cooley wants to hear more about the Presidential proposal from administration officials, including agriculture secretary Etra Taft Benson, secretary of state John Foster Dulles, and Presidential assistant Harold E. Stassen. Mr. Elsenhower said in his special farm message to congress on Jan. 9 that “opportunities clearly to our Interest may develop in the future to sell to countries excluded by this legislation" the law prohibiting the sale of sudplttses to unfriendly nations. An agriculture department spokesman said the governmenthas no present plane to make any "big deal” with the Communists, but that it would like to “be in a ; position to barter” with the Reds if the right opportunity came along. Neither the house nor senate agriculture committees have received any specific proposal from the administration on repealing or amending part of the “no-sales-to-Communists" law. But it will likely be given prompt consideration when received.

Ridgway accused Wilson of attempting to suppress his final report as chief of staff, in which he maintained that present U. S. forces cannot adequately support the nation's “solemn pledges” to its allied Wilson testified before the committee last week and, in a prepared said he has-or-dered a three-jreaf study of mill- j tary needs to emphasise develop-1 ment of guided missiles and other weapons.
