Western Touched Off Probe BRITISH LOAN: True to Form Even before the talks got fully underway, the trend of the discussion concerning finance deals was becoming familiarly clear. ' THE PROBLEM was Britains current financial crisis. The hope rested with U. S. procedure as it affects assistance. That the U. S. was thoroughly under the spell of British need and persuasion was shown in the statement that this government is hospitable to a proposal to relax terms of the British loan pact. Under the current preliminary proposal, the U. S. would grant Britain permission to discriminate American temporarily loan British pact, the Under goods. Britain got 3.75 billion dollars from the United States in return for a promise to treat American exports the same as those from British empire countries and Europe. Now, the British want that requirement knocked out. Heres how the British plan would work: BRITAIN could, for instance, refuse to license British buyers who want to buy American goods, but it could give open licenses to Britishers who, for example, wanted to import Italian goods. Since the Italian Imports could be purchased with sterling, this would save Britain dollars. Thus, with the monetary talks hardly underway, the British are asking a double burden of the American taxpayer money from the taxpayer to solve Britains economic problem while at the same time setting up what amounts to a boycott of American imports which will further cost the American taxpayer if he happens to be one of the businessmen affected by the ruling. And,' as the pattern seems to be, officials were reported favorable to the British proposal and symptomatically, too were planning to congress in implementing British-Ameri-ca- n against by-pa- that approval WATCHMAKING: Pioneered in U.

Hence the small but lusty U.S. jeweled watch Industry delights in pointing out that basic production methods now used by the Swiss were developed here a century ago, and that this "American system was adopted by the Swiss about 1875. Two years ago American craftsmen proved they hadnt lost their ingenuity. An Elgin, 111., watch manufacturer introduced a acid-produrapower mainspring which was called the advance in most revolutionary watchmaking since introduction of jeweled bearings 200 years ago. Now. by way of improving on perfection, the same factory announces its technicians have learned how to squeeze every last ounce of power out of the wonder-allomainspring. Their method was to eliminate the conventional annealed arbor end of the spring, which had always been dead, unproductive weight. the arbor end. posBy sible only .with the new alloy, they have put the entire length of the spring to work. The result: A longer run of the watch between windings, hence a boon to lazy and forgetful thumbs and forefingers! rust-proo- f, y DIVIDEND: Rebate for Gl's The federal government, in one of the most amazingly simple forms ever to come out of Washingwas receiving applications ton, from World War II veterans for rebates on GI insurance premiums.

ANSWER: There are excellent metal polishes on general sale that you can use, and many brushes in a wide range of sizes that will get into the carvings of floral designs, A simple way to clean copper is by washing with ordinary vinegar in which has been dissolved as much salt as will be taken up, followed by rinsing with clear water. You can make the solution into a paste by the addition of flour. If not well rinsed off afterward, the salt will further discolor the copper.

Keep Posted on Values Sun-Time- Bathing Was Once Held To Be Crime in America V A.- - Bathing, a RICHMOND, daily habit with most Americans, was once a crime in some parts of this country. Just 200 years ago laws in certain sections prohibited bathing or bathtubs in houses. Modern Americans accustomed to bathing in luxurious bathrooms may find it hard to believe that a home owner in colonial Virginia had to pay a if he wanted $30 annual "license a bathtub in his home or that jail sentences threatened Philadelphians who took more than one bath a month. As late as 1845 some communities were still enacting laws to protect the people from "the dangers of bathing, especially in cold weather. The Early American bathroom, drab forerunner of todays model gleaming with chromium, clay tile and mirrors, seldom had space for a tub. Ben Franklin helped overcome opposition to the bath. He designed a portable copper tub, tailored to his dimensions and shaped like a shoe. Water was heated from a fire in an opening at the heeL About 40 years after Franklin's death.

Bound That was the expressed conviction of a television manufacturer, Benjamin Abrams. He said that while color television had been demonstrated successfully, "it still is in the laboratory stage and it will be years before it is available for the general public. He then estimated the waiting time as four years. Abrams said that at the present stage of development of color television, he did not believe manufacturers could turn out adapters for less than $300 to $500. And he estimated a set built especially for color would cost $1,000. He declared present sets would not become obsolete even with the advent of color.
