Bevan Given Reprieve ByExecutiveCommittee
London—(U.P.)—The National Executive committee of the British Labor party gave a reprieve to Aneurin Bevan today at a meeting called to discuss whether to oust him from the party.
The committee which met to consider his ouster did not exel him
Instead, the Executive committee decided to set up a special sub-committee of eight members to interview Mr. Bevan and explore his attitude.
The Parliamentary Labor party, consisting of Socialist members of Parliament, last week withdrew the whip from Mr. Bevan in the House of Commons. This made him a political outcast, isolated without party recognition, in the House of Commons.
Today the 28-member Executive committee of the party met to decide whether to expel Mr. Bevan from the party itself.
Expulsion would have widened the major split which already has torn the party by Mr. Bevan's dismissal from Labor's Parliamentary group.

Baruch Doubts Market Blame
Washington — (L.R.)—Bernard M. Baruch, the elder statesman who made his own fortune by guessing the market right, told Senate investigators today that neither he nor anyone else “knows whether stocks are too high today.”
Mr. Baruch told the Senate Banking and Currency committee that the market is not the cause of the booms and busts in the economy.
"Actually, it is the thermometer—not the fever," Mr. Baruch said. Its accuracy as a temperature taker, he suggested, may be slightly out of kilter.
But, he said, "the thermometer should not be blamed for reflecting all the uncertainties of a world which is neither at war nor at peace, or of the effects of the actions taken by different business managements, or of the inflationary policies which have been pursued for so long."
"Two main factors in the economy have caused the general rise in the price level of stocks." Mr. Baruch said. "...the dramatic expansion and improvement of so many industries, and the cumulative effects of the inflationary policies which have been followed over the last decade and a half. If any economic danger threatens today, it will be found not in the stock market itself but in the effects of this inflationary heritage.
"People invest in stocks for two opposite reasons—in hope and confidence in the future of an enterprise, or in fear that the value of their capital will be lost through inflation.
"The basic reason why stock fluctuations today are so puzzling is because both these motivations are so active in our economy."

At the close of the three-hour Executive committee meeting, a member of the committee was asked if Mr. Bevan had been expelled. "No," the member replied. "Not yet, anyway."

Mr. Attlee was the first to leave the tense meeting. He strode from the board room at Transport House, where 22 men and six women members sat around a horseshoe-shaped mahogany table, and drove directly to the House of Commons without comment.

He was followed by other members of the committee, including the six Bevanite members, who were grinning.
The Executive committee's decision was an apparent compromise to keep Mr. Bevan within the ranks of the Socialists and save the party from further split on the eve of the expected elections.
