London, Aug. 24.
Britain's guided atomic rockets have brought push button warfare nearer in a bold and new defence concept that authoritative sources said eventually will alter the whole British plan of European and Middle East defence.
The whole emphasis in present British defence plans is on mechanical substitutes for man power.
Jet propulsion and guided rockets will be the de- cisive instruments which will dominate the military scene in the not too distant future, the sources said.

The greatest security is being maintained over the forthcoming British atomic tests on

Agreement On Sugar Prices
London, Aug. 24,
A new sugar agreement; designed to assure supplies of sugar to importing "countries "and markets for sugar to exporting countries""at "equitable and stable prices, was signed today by most of the delegates to the London sugar con- ference.
Sir Wilfrid Eady, of Britain, who presided over the talks, told the final plenary session today that some delegates would sign the pact tomorrow.
The agreement is subject to sugar by providing adequate m tetication and signature but a turns to producers and maldrig delcsato does not in any way it possible to maintain "fair commit his government to adhere standards of labour conditions to the agreement, Walther does a and wages. signature by a delegate neces sarily commit him to recommend the agreement to his governmen!, The pact primarily aims at assuring supplies of sugar to im porting countries and markets for sugar to exporting nations at "equitable and stable prices.”
