By K. C. Thaler LONDON UPI — The Western Alliance, already badly shaken by France’* go-lt-alone policy in Europe, has come under severe pressure from yet anothey key ally, West Germany. The bone of contention is the projected inter - Allied nuclear force which, if established, would give the federal government a say in nuclear strategy. But agreement on such a force seems a long way off. West Germany fells frustrated by Anglo - American indeci-! sion on this score and Is also becoming suspicious of alleged j British moves toward unilateral nuclear disarmament in Europe. The forthcoming West German general election Spet. 19 is a major factor behind the stepped up campaign in Bonn against Anglo - American nuclear policy. The campaign coincides with current United States and British efforts to get a nuclear nonproliferation agreement with Russia. The Russians have said all along that conclusions of such an agreement is conditional on the scrapping of all plans for a NATO nuclear force. The Russians back their demand with the argument that W r est Germany is itching to get its fingers on the nuclear trigger. The latest clamor in Bonn for German participation in Allied nuclear strategy has tended to toughen Moscow’s stand. The fact is that the United States and Britain have so far been unable to agree between themselves on how to settle the problem. The two Western nuclear nations are agreed that West Germany and other NATO Allies should be given some
degree of responsibility in NATO nuclear policy. But they differ on just how this can be done without giving West Germany a finger on the trigger. They just want Bonn to have a finger on the “safety catch.” Britain has of late made it clear it wants to retain a veto in any NATO nuclear force, and so does the United States in principle. At least some of Germany’s influential politicians oppose an Anglo-American veto and want majority rule in any inter-Allied nuclear force. The United States recently put a plan to the Russians in Geneva for a nuclear non-pro-liferation treaty which, it felt, left the door open for an eventual inclusion of West Germany and other Allies in some form of NATO nuclear force. The Russians rejected it. Former federal Chancellor Konrad Adenauer — who still leads the ruling Christian Democratic party in Bonn — was outraged by t h e American plan’s alleged vagueness and termed it an outright betrayal on the part of the United States. Since then the former federal defense minister forceful Franz-Josef Strauss, has added his sharp criticism of alleged Allied duplicity and feet gingGerman suspicion has been heightened by Britain’s latest decision to replace some of its nuclear artillery with the British army of the Rhine with conventional weapons. This has led to charges Britain is engaged in some form of unilateral nuclear disarmament in Europe that will leave West Germany dangerously exposed to Soviet missile power.
MODERNIZING PAYS NEW YORK UPI — Modernization of manufacturing plants plays a generally unrecognized role in the healthiness of the U.S. gross national product figure, the economists’ measure of the total value of all goods and services, says a leading financing executive. "The nation's three largest independent finance companies are writing checks for $13 billion a year, better than 2 per cent of gross national product,” says Charles S. Jensen, presi-
ident of C. I. T. Corporation. “Part of this is earmarked for financing of machinery and equipment that enables manufacturers to modernize their plants and increase production and efficiency. The importance of modernizing is pointed up by the fact that the average age of equipment in U.S. factories is nearly 10 years.”
RECORD BENEFITS NEW YORK UPI — Surgical benefits paid out in 1964 by in-
,than $771 million, according to the Health Insurance Institute. ' The Institute said, that was 11 per cent above 1963's $695 million and represents a record high for this insurance. These benefits were paid under surgical expense coverages and under surgical provisions of major medical expense policies. The Institute noted thattotal health insurance benefits by insurance companies in 1964 amounted to nearly $4.7 billion.

WASHINGTON UPI — Market values of real estate have a larger range in California than in any other state, the Agriculture Department said in a review of farm real estate developments. Real estate values in California range from less than $100 per acre for grazing land in the northern part of the state to $10,000 or more for citrus groves in the path of urban development in Southern California. However, about 5.3 million acres of irrigated land devted to bearing orchards, vineyards, and groves, and to annual field crop account for nearly half of the total value , of farm land and buildings in the state. The department said 1.2 mil-1 lion acres in orchards, vineyards, and groves averaged $2,715 per acre on March 1, about 6 per cent above a year earlier. Irrigated land used for, annual field crops, such as vegetables, cotton, rice, corn, and .sorghum varied consider-, able among areas of the state. 1
All such land averaged about $1,200 per acre in value, but ranged from $600 per acre in one Sacramento Valley to $3,375 per acre for vegetable land in Southern California. The department said market values for all classes of land in the southern part of California reflect their location with respect to expanding urban areas, and hence are well above their agricultural value. The Agriculture Department said a successful vaccine against anapalamosis, a cattle blood disease, has been developed by research workers at the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station. A federal license for its manufacture had been issued by the Agricultural Research Service to Fort Dodge Laboratories, Fort Dodge, Iowa. Anaplamosis takes a toll of $35 to $50 million annually from the nation's cattle herds. It is an infectious disease and is characterized by anemia. Vaccine for the disease will be available to veterinarians by mid-September.
