Israil has signed armistices with all the Arab countries that took part in the Palestine conflict Fgypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Syria. The agreement is another tribute to the skill of Dr Ralph Bunehe, UN mediator, and Brig. Gen. William E. Riley, US chief of staff. IT HAS been agreed that unrestricted civil life may be resumed in the demilitarized zones pending final peace negotiations when an international boundary will be clearly defined. The agreement calls for the withdrawal of defensive forces to a line three and a half miles deep on either side of the armistice line This keeps the Arab legion and the Israeli troops out of grenade-tossing distance of each other.

Under the Brannan plan, perishable crops would be allowed to sell at what the market would pay ; then the government would puv the farmers the difference between the support level and the uverage price the farmers got. The Pace bill, which embodied provisions for a trial run on three farm products of the Brannan plan, lost. out, 222 152. A substitute for the Pace bill, the Gore measure, suspending the Aiken law and continuing the pres ent farm program, won by a final vote 383 25. One of the surprises of the ses sion was the very few votes cast to keep the Aiken law alive. Corridors of the house office building where the meeting was held were filled with lobbyists for various farm organizations. Police had the area rolled off Democratic Leader McCormack (Mass ) argued that opponents of the Pace bill were obligated to offer some kind of alternative. "Pm concerned about the consumer." he said "When he reads about millions of bushels of potatoes being burned under the present faim program, he wants to know what's wrong. d ATOM DATA: England's Needs Reports s.iv the administration his investigated the xisxibilities of sharing atom bomb secrets with Britain bv executive agreement without action by congress Some have sought to tie the President's hands The idea has been discussed but no decision has bi cn reached to carry it through It is considered matter a of the seriate house atom- committee, the state department, the armed services and the atomic energy commission.
