U. S. Concern On East-West Trade Voiced By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst The “oceans” of trade once offered to the West by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev haven’t yet quite reached those But the volume of East-West trade, which hit $4.5 billion last year, is headed for a new record this year and is enough to cause the United States concern. • It also carries with it the possibility of opening up a new rift among the already - bickering Western Allies. U.S. concern, which is being expounded in Europe this week by Undersecretary of State George W. Ball, is based on two counts. One is the growing temptation, notably among Britain and some of the smaller NATO nations, to reduce the list of strategic materials now embargoed against sale to the Soviet Union and its satellites. The other deals with the long term credits being granted in some cases to the Soviets- The United States holds that these credits not only underwrite the Communist economy, they also permit the Soviets to continue to build up a war machine which some day may be used against the West. .. The—United ..States believes.. credit should be limited to five years with at least a 20. per cent down payment. Focus Attention Russia’s huge grain deals, including the $250 million wheat agreement with the United States, have helped to focus attention on trade with the Soviet bloc but they are not at the seat of the argument. The deal for U.S. wheat presumably is one-shot and is for cash. Meanwhile, Russian agents have been on a real buying Spree. They want not only Western industrial goods, but Western know-how as well. The Russians are buying entire plants with which to produce fertilizer. They are buying ships from Italy, Sweden and Japan and pulp mills from Finland. From Britain they have ordered polyethylene plants, two low temperature gas separation plants and machinery for a synthetic rubber plant. With West Germany, the Soviets have closed deals for * construction machinery, box cars and synthetic fiber plants. Oil For Machinery Under an agreement with Italy, Russia will ship large amounts of oil in exchange for machinery, chemical equipment and other goods. The Russians have said they could order more than a billion dollars worth of complex machinery from the United States, assuming the wheat deal goes smoothly. Germany is extending its system of economic missions throughout the Soviet bloc in the interests of expanding trade but agrees with the United States on the need for limited credit. France also is in general agreement and es-

Gen. Ahmed Hassan Bakr to join it, a Baathist leader who was in Baghdad during Monday’s coup said Tuesday night. Gibran Majdilani, Lebanese member of the Baath International Command, returned to Damasus, Syria, with other foreign Baathists. They had gone to Baghdad to take over Bakr’s Baath party government during an internal party crisis. They were detained but freed Tuesday. (UPI correspondent Ray Moloney, in a delayed dispatch from Baghdad, the first since communications were reopened, reported the capital outwardly calm Tuesday but there was firing Monday night. (He said authorities obviously were prepared to act firmly in restoring complete calm. There wpre no official reports on casualties, but U.S. Marines at the American Embassy said they were believed light. i (He said the military appeared to be in complete control, with the power to “try and execute” mutineers on the . spot.) (The Middle East News Agency reported from Cairo that Baghdad remained quiet today, with troops withdrawn from most streets and concentrated on key points.) Savings Bond Sales Increase In State INDIANAPOLIS 'UPD Indiana sales of U. S. Savings Bonds increased 1.4 per cent from $11.6 to $11.7 million from October, 1962 to the same month this Exactly ha\f of the state’s 92 counties showed gains. * pecially is not interested in Soviet barter schemes. The argument for expanded trade is that it will strengthen diplomatic ties and weaken Communist revolutionary zeal. The argument against it is that in Soviet hands trade is as much a weapon as a rocket.

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Republican State Committee Tuesday night ousted Charles Dahlin as East Chicago city chairman on party disloyalty- charges as part of its disciplinary action against the strife-torn Lake County GOP organization. ■«, Dahlin was fired during a four-hour session closed to newsmen in which the state committee also declared vacant the offices of 14 other party officials of East Chicago. ' ■» The action, however, failed to settle differences between elements of the party organization in Lake, the state’s second most populous county. George P. Hoffman, Jr., Hammond city chairman, continued to pursue his ouster movement against Ist District and Lake County chairman Theodore Sendak, although it appeared to be thwarted when the committee delayed action v/itil its Jan. 11 meeting on his petition to discharge Sendak. Sendak had motivated the disloyalty charges. Sendak Is Blamed “Sendak has tried to make a country club out of the Republican Party in Lake County,” Hoffman said. "He has done little to get the votes of the rank and file for the party.” Edwin Steers Sr., veteran GOP members of the State Election' Board, advised the state committee that Sendak cannot be dismissed until his regular term expires or unless the state committee takes action againsthim on charges. Twenty Calumet residents accompanied Hoffman to the meeting but were not heard. It was obviously a bitter battle among the Lake County party chiefs following the city elections in which the Democrats captured the prize cities. East Chicago. Gary and Hammond, and the GOP had to be content with triumphs in smaller cities—Hobart, Crown Point, Whiting and East Gary. Few GOP Votes Cast The GOP polled only 442 votes in the May primary in East Chicago. In the election. Dr. John Nicosia, Democrat, piled up 14,691 votes to 1,962 for Jhis Republican rival. Anthony Drapac, and 1,031 for Warren J. Krill. Peoples Party candidate. Among the charges against Dahlin were: *

Jeorse. —Failure to take polls, conduct workshops and raise money for the GOP. ; ■ Charges Slight Defense The committee maintained that Dahlin failed to present an adequate defense when he appeared before the meeting Tuesday and contented himself with "reading a written statement, part of which was defensive and part of which was in criticism of the state committee’s hearing.” No action was taken against four other East Chicago GOP officials, including Mrs. Ruth T. Skewes. Jesse Coty, Jr., Mrs. Carolyn Dykiel, who has been ill, and Connie Gonzales, who resigned. Being clubby \vith Democrats has been charged many times against Calumet GOP officials. The county has been overwhelmingly Democratic so r many years and was largely responsible for the election of Democratic Governor Welsh while President Kennedy lost Indiana by more than 220,000 votes. Welsh won the state by only 25,000 and carried Lake County by 62,000. Through a rather droll oversight, Dahlin lives in Hammond while serving as East Chicago chairman, according to the allegations. "Only Dahlin was specifically listed as guilty of charges set forth,” a state committee statement said. “In action against the others, the Committee rules only that vacancies exist and must be filled by the Lake County Republican Central Committee.”
