AMERY'S PLAN TO HELP RESTORE BALANCE IN PRODUCTION, TRADE

London, Jan. 21.

Former British Conservative Minister and crusader for Empire development, Mr Leopold Amery, said today the Common- wealth and Western Europe should be developed in co- operation to restore the world's balance in production and trade.

He advocated establishing a preferential trading system between the sterling area and Western Europe "a modified Customs Union with lower tariffs for each other."

The 80-year-old veteran statesman said the question of economic co-operation would dominate the three-day conférence of unofficial Commonwealth and West European representatives beginning in London on January 29, About 200 delegates from 20 British Commonwealth and West European countries will meet under the chairmanship of Herr Herman Abs, leading German banker and financier.

Greek archaeologists believe they may soon find the long lost gravos of Aegisthus and Queen Clytemnestra, assassins of King Agamemnon; conqueror of Troy.

Homer in The Illad" told how Aegisthus seduced Clytemnestra, Agamemnon's wife while he was away for ten years in about 1,200 B.C. laying siege to Troy.

When he returned, so legend says, Aegisthus and Clytemnestra murdered him. Agamemnon's · death was nyenged eight years later when his son Orestes killed his mother and her lover.
