One of World's Richest Women Dies Al TB

MOUNT KISCO. N. Y.. Jan. 29 -(AP)--Anne, Morgan, 78. one of the richest women in the United States. died at her estate today. She was a daughter of J. P. Mor- gun. the late banker.

Miss Morgan devoted most of her life to charity and philan- thropy, going into a factory on one occasion to see at first hand the conditions under which wo- men employees worked.

One of the world's most elig-

ible women, she never married. Society meant little to her. al- though she was born into its highest strata. '

Miss Morgan had been in fall- ing health for some time. She suffered a stroke in 1947.

Born in New York. she was ed- ucated in private schools befit- ting a child of great wealth. When her father died in 1913, he left a fortune estimated at 3100.- 000.000. She was one of his four children.

She said she lived on a 03,000,- 000 trust fund.

Miss Morgan won the love and devotion of the French people in two world wars. She raised more than 35.000.000 after the First World War to help rebuild the wreckage wrought in France by the German armies.

When the Second World War started, she rushed a plan for

civillnn relief.

But Results . May Not Be Too Serious

UPDAWA, Jan. 20-(CP)-New austerity import slashes announ- ced by the United Kingdom may clip the edge from Canadian ex- ports. but the bulk of the essent- ial shipments likely will go un' touched. Canadian trade officials said today.

They added that Canada wants more of Commonwealth sterling- area. products. such as citrus juices. coffee. bananas, rice and copra. More dollars could be add- ed to Britain's treasury if more of these goods could be provided. "Canada will show continuing sympathy with the need for as- sisting in all possible ways the drive by Britain to boost ex- ports." they said.

Meanwhile, there was expecta- tion that the U. K. import pro- gram. announced in London. may cut into Canada's Sl3.000.000 to- bacco market in Britain. Canada shipped about 85,000,000 pounds of flue-cured tobacco to the U. K. in 1951.

There is also little likelihood that she would buy any Canad- ian apples or bacon. However. there was some hope that she may be able to negotiate a new cheese contract with Canadian producers in the spring and con- tinue to buy wheat, flour and such essential materials as cop- per. zine. lead and aluminum.

The Anglo-Canadian token im- port scheme. under which some Canadian exporters obtain per- mission to ship small quantities or their goods to keep a foothold on the U. K. market. already has been cut by 26 per cent. reducing possible exports unde;.g.thi.s.cote- gory by several mil1icn”dollars.

But the bulk of Britain's pur- chases from Canada, officials pointed out. already have been pared to the bone under previous austerity drives by Britain to re- duco dollar indebtedness. If Brit- ain reduced Canadian purchases still further, it would cripple her ability to produce goods for ex- port and injure the rearmament. program.

Britain in 1061 purchased 1636.- ti00,000 worth of goods from Can- ada. while sales to Canada were s42i,ooo,ooo.' :

"I have no confidence in their overall lincerity." The general said the columna- ists are "playing for advantage." If it is to their advantage to stop operations in Korea they will sign a truce.

against Communism would be en- dangered by failure of the big new campaign to 'live within our means."

Butler announced in the House of Commons a cut of 5l50,000.000 a year in British buying in the United States and elsewhere abroad. A country already beset with shortages will have less of many things-meat, fish, automo- biles, clothing. furniture, toys.

In a. move intended to channel necessary manpower into defence projects. it was decided that non- essential industries will be forced to hire all labor through govern- ment employment agencies.

For the first time there will be small charges for medical prescriptions. dental treatment. wigs. hearing aids. surgical belts and hospital care former- ly supplied patients without charge under the tax-support- ed National Health service. "Our life blood is draining away

little Progress Al Truce Talks

By SAM SUMMERLIN MUNSAN. Korea, Jan. 30 (Wednesday)-(AP) -- The Chin- ese Communists hinted Tuesday they would leave directed respon- sibility for civil administration of a cemilitarized zone in North Kor- can hands during an armistice.

The gesture sounded generous but actually applied only to a iti- mile wide strip north of the pro- posed cease fire line which follows the 155-mile battle front across Korea. The Allies would adminis- ter a like strip south of the line.

While staff officers made a lit- ZIP progress during the day toward stilling terms for supervising a. truce. a sub-committee of the main armistice delegation remained deadlocked on the issue of exchang- imz prisoners.

The Reds rejected a ii-point prisoner exchange plan submitted by the Allies. Rear-Admiral R.E. Libby, U. N. delegate, called on the Cornmunists to present some con- more ideas for breaking the stale- mate.

Further discussions on both the prisoner and supervision issues 'v(-re scheduled in Panmunjom at 11 A.M. today (9 P.M. E.S.T.

Anthony Eden in conciliatory Move Towards Egypt

IDNDON. Jan. 29 --(AP) .. Britain appealed to Egypt's new government today to put out the fires of hatred and held out the hope of a peaceful settlement of the bloody Suez Canal dispute.

In a conciliatory note. Foreign Secretary Eden told the House of Commons he believed it was pos- sible to reach a settlement which "satisfies the legitimate national aspirartions of the Egyptian peo- ple and at the same time does not jeopardize the security of the free world."

"It remains our hope that pas- sions will cool and that it will

"Oment in which each side will re-

spect the sincerity of the other's point of view." he declared.

The speech was made after a cabinet meeting under Prime Min. isier Churchill.
