US Wants More Restrictions On Trade With Reds

Washington, Jan, 29.

Informed sources said tonight that the United States had suggested to its allies that controls on shipments of material to all Communist countries should be reviewed in the light of the situation in Eastern Europe and Soviet meddling in the Middle East.

They said that officially the US was merely "sounding out the views" of the nations repre- sented on the Coordinating Committee for Export Control in Paris, but the implication definitely was that the American government believed

Sentence Reduced

By Half

A clerk, given three years for larceny by ser. vant and embezzlement, had the sentence reduced by half at the Appeals Court this morning when Mr Justice A. D, Scholes held that he had been a victim of great temptation.

JUDGMENT

Judgment, with costs, for $17,082.82 was awarded the Hongkong and Swatow Commercial Bank Ltd. of 48-A Bonham Strand West in a claim under a bill of exchange before Mr Justice J. R. Gregg in the Supreme Court this morning.

The bill of exchange,, which was dishonoured, related to the purchase of woollen textiles from Japan by the defendants, Chung Hing Trading Co., Ltd., whose address was given as room 410, American International Building, 12-14 Queen's Road Central, and Lai Kwong-chun, its manager.
