AGAINST IKE

The government defeat was seen by observers here as a protest against what was consid- ered undue pressure by President Eisenhower in the Franco-Tunis- ian dispute. Last week, when the Anglo-American goo offices mis- sion in the dispu-te appeared to have ended in failure, Eisen- hower sent a message to Gaillard urging him to keep the mission alive.

Gaillard fought through an 11- hour ca-b;\"et meeting last Satur- day to win the support of his con- servative cabinet ministers for a conciliatory attitude toward the co;:ntry’s North African prob- lcms.

He finally wno their support in calling the assemrbly back from its Easter recess to vote on whe-

British BudgetHas Little To Cheer UpThe Taxpayer

LONDON (CP) —A £5.500,000,— 000 budget pinpointing inflation as the continuing danger to Brit- ain’s econ-omy was presented Tuesday by Derick Heathcoat Amory in his maiden effort as chancellor of the exchequer.

Although he offered minor con- cessions to encourage investment and consumer demand. the chan- cellor repeatedly emphasized in his two-hour budget speech that the signs still point toward cau- tion, that it is too early to relax credit restrictions. that it is a time for consolation.

Heathcoat Amory said the pro- lcction of the value of sterling re- mains of paramount importance, and that industrial expansion must take second place.

Opposition leader Hugh Gaits- '

kell, himself a former chancellor of the exchequer, said changing conditions argued for measures to promote expansion.

In a brief speech, which re- served the main opposition argu- ments for ."oday’s speech by Har- old Wilson, Labor’s shadow chan- cellor, Gai-tskell said increasing unemployment, while slight, has been accompanied by a reduction in overtime worked and an in- crease in short time.

Gaitskell also was strongly crit- ical of one of Heathcoat Am-ory’s budgetary amendments designed to encourage investment. In place of the present profits tax of three per cent on all profits and 30 per cent on dividends, the amend- ment imposes a single l0'-'per- cent tax on profits of all kinds.

The chancellor explained that the move was designed to encour- age the more fruitful use of in- veslmeiit capital, now tied up in rcscrvcs. Gaitskell said it should

Art Treasures ‘lmperilled In New York Fire

NEW YORK. (AlP)—-A lunch- hour fire Tuesday a. fabulous treasure hoard at the Museum of Modern Art in the fashionable heart of Manhattan.

Ant worth $4,000,000 was saved. Six paintings—valued' at $1,500,- 000—were damaged but restora- tion is believed possible for all but one of them.

Firemen wielded axes and di- rected hoses with amazing care and precision, lest their -_ life-sav- ing efforts at the same time destroy irreplaceable 0 b j e c t s. Women museum employees, their clothes wringing wet from the hoses, risked their lives to carry- pictures to safety.

One workman died in the fire. Three women visitors were -treated .for' smoke poisoning. More than a score of firemen were injured or overcome.

' The blaze was confined to a small area of the museum’s sec- ond floor gallery, where air con- ditioning work was under way. It was under control in less than an hour, but th-icik, overpowering smoke clogged the main building and an adjoining annex.

More than 500 persons fled the smoke. For a time, a number were trapped either inside the buildings or on rooftops. Several women broke windows and pre- pared to leap from upper floors as the smoke choked and blinded them.

Four Teen - Age Gang Members Are Convicted

NEW YORK (AP)-—A jury con- victed two teen-gang members of second degree murder Tuesday night i-n the slaying of a polio- crippled youth. Two others were convicted of manslaughter and three more acquitted.

The jury in General Sessions court, out 24 hours with the case, spared the lives of two of the young gang members who could have been executed for first de- gree murder.

The pair, Charles (Big Man) Horton, 18, a Negro, and Louis (Lit-tle Jesse) Alvarez, 17, a Puerto Rican, were convicted in- stead of second degree murder, punishable by a mandatory sen- tence of 20 yea-rs to life.

Two others, not subject to judg- ment for first degree murder, were convicted of second degree manslaughter which carries ta maximum 15 years in prison. They are Leroy (the Magician) Birch, 19, a Negro, and Leoncio (Jello) De Leon, 17, a native of the Dominican Republic.

The three remaining members of the Egyptian Dragons street gang were acquitted‘ of man- slaughter charges. They are John McCarthy, 15, and Richard Hills, 17, both white, and George Melen- dez, 16, Puerto Rican.

The boys were members of a gang war party that attacked and killed Michael Farmer, ‘15, white, crippled son of a city fireman, in an upper Manhattan park last July 30.

The mass homicide trial began la-st Jan 10 and was one of the longest and costliest in local court history. -Originally, all seven boy.s were charged with first degree murder and faced possible execution. But Monday, the charge against five of them was reduced to manslaughter.

MONTREAL (OP) Four hooded and armed bandits were offered a helping hand by Lady’ Luck Tuesday as they struck quickly and expertly in a holdup in an East-‘End bank which net- ted them $88,000 —- the biggest holdup haul on Montreal Island i-n more than M years.

The bandits broke into a bank branch when telephone commun- ication in that section of the city was still tangled as a result of a two-alarm fire a few hours ear- lier.

Witnesses who tried to phone police were unable to get their calls through.

Earlier estimates of the loot were revised upward to $88,000 from $75,000.

The four, described as experts, struck just before the 10 am. opening time at an east - end (branch of La Banque Canadiemie -Nation-ale, three of them gaining entry to the building through a rear door to a jai-ntor’s store- room. The fourth stayed with the pale blue getaway car, which van- ished with the bandits.

From there, one smashed his way through a partition into a basement employees’ locker room. A startled male employee tried to run upstairs to sound the alarm. -

He was easily headed off and the staff of 11 were lined up against a wall while the attack- ing trio. pistols in hand, ex- pertly rifled the vault. Police said they took about $60,000 In cash and $15.000 in securities, leaving a $1 bill and a handful of change.

man said the Commission was alert enough to forsee what was taking place in this area and had pipes laid under the Trans Can- ada Highway so that when servi- ces are supplied there will be no need to tear up any of the new road.

Mr. Bevan said he did not ap- prove of the way in which am- algamation with Spring Park was handled. “The Spring Park peo- ple were allowed to vote on the matter but the people of Char- lottetown were denied this pri- vilege," he added.

“I would suggest that the Coun- cil adopt the principles of the City Water Works Act which has stood for over a half a century instead of trying to abolish it,” he concluded.
