Students Plot
In Guatamala
President Armas
Decrees Martial Law
! GUATEMALA () - President
Carlos Castillo Armas clamped
military rule on Guatemala yes-
terday after a death-dealing clash
,Nonday night .between police and
university students accused of
Communist agitation.
The police fired on students
demonstrating on the Guatemalan
capital's main avenue. Three stu-
dents were killed instantly and
two more died during the night.
Seventeen others were wounded.
The governmont said one police-
man was killed and three were
wounded.
March on Palace
The students, half of them girls,
were marching to the palace to
protest a state of alarm proclaim-
ed Sunday after an antigovern-
ment demonstration was put
down.
Castillo Armas, a former mili-
tary man, declared a state of
siege, a modified form of martial
law. This meant stricter controls
than were provided under the
state of alarm.
All constitutional guarantees
have been suspended for 30 days.
Security chief Ismael Ortiz Orel-
lana said the student demonstra-
tion was linked with a Communist
plot to overthrow the government.
He said the government knows of
a plan by exiles to invade Guate-1
mala from Nicaragua and El Sal-
vador late this month.
Invasion Expected
He said the army was expecting
the invasion "at any moment."
The government said a "sediti-
ous Communist movement" had
been hatched with many partici-
peting who had been followers of
Communist-backed President Ja-
cobo Arbenz Guzman. Those fol-{
lowers fled Guatemala when Cas-
tillo Armas overthrew Arbenz Guz-
man in an armed rebellion'mount-
ed from neighporing HondurasK
two years ago.

Ceylon Calls
For British
Withdrawal
LONDON (P)-Prime Minister
Solomon Bandaranaike c'f Ceylon
called officially on the British
yesterday to give up their bases
at Trincomalee and Katunayake.
Commonwealth officials reported
the demand of the New Ceylon
leader was made at a meeting
with his old Oxford University
friend, British Prime Minister
Anthony Eden.
Bandaranaike called publicly for
Britain to quit the strategic Cey-
lon bases shortly after his election
in April but had delayed present-
ing the demand.
Trincomalee is the great British
naval base on Ceylon's east coast
and Katunayake is the Royal Air
Force base near Negombo on the
west coast.
Loss of the naval base would
make a big gap in the old British;
Empire lifeline. Trincomalee, home
base of the Allied Eastern Fleet in
World War II, is about midway be-
tween Aden at the tip of the
Arabian Peninsula and Singapore,
the island bastion just off the end
of the Malay Peninsula.

Senate Gives
Air Force
Extra Funds
Wilson Rapped
In Bitter Floor
Fight as 'Inept'
WASHINGTON (3--The Senate
rejected President Dwight D. Eis-
enhower's assessment of the na-
tion's air power needs yesterday
and voted nearly a billion dollars
more than he wanted for the Air
Force in fiscal 1957.
The 48-40 roll-call vote was a
smashing victory for Senate Dem-
ocrats, who refused to accept as-
surances of administration lead-
ers that the Air Force would have
enough money to keep ahead of
Russia in the struggle for world
air supremacy.
Voting was preceded by a bitter
attack on Secretary of Defense
Charles E. Wilson, who was called
inept, vain, arrogant and con-
temptuous of Congress.
The extra Air Force money,
most of it earmarked for improved
aircraft, was added to the De-
fense Department's budget for the
12 months beginning next Sunday.
Then the. Senate passed the 35-
billion-dollar defense measure on
a routine roll-call vote of 88-0. The
big bill provides about 16 xi billion
for the Air Force, 10 billion for
the Navy and Marine Corps and
71/2 billion for the Army. The bal-
ance would go for miscellaneous
Defense Department needs.
FCC Asks
TV Change
WASHINGTON ()-A tentative
long-term proposal for revolution-
izing television operations and a
more immediate program for re-
lieving current problems were
made public yesterday by the Fed-
eral Communications Commission.
The commission asked for com-
ment, to be submitted by Oct. 1,
"on the possibility of ultimately
shifting all or a major portion of
TV operation" to the ultra high
frequency channels-those num-
bered 14 through 83.
Meanwhile, it proposed to au-
thorize all-UHF telecasting in
some cities in scattered areas of
the country.
This shift, and others to follow,
is aimed at eliminating competi-
tion in a single area between sta-
tions transmitting on UHF fre-
quencies and those using Very
High frequency channels, number-
ed 2 through 13.

IONIA, Mich. 05)-State police
at the Ionia post said a tornado
struck last night near the town of
Middleton in Neighboring Gratiot
county.
One person was reported injured
when the twister knocked down
two barns and a house. Troopers
said he was taken to a hospital.
Clarence Hewitt reported an-
other small tornado roaring over
his farm near Lake Odessa in
Ionia county "with a noise like 50
airplanes pasing overhead." Hew-
itt said it never touched the
ground.

Freign Ad Plan
ac ed B Dulles
WASHINGTON 0 )-Secretary; of State John Foster Dulles made
a final appeal to Congress yesterday to support President Dwight D.
Eisenhower's foreign aid program and to steer clear of cutting off
assistance to Communist Yugoslavia.
'Secretary Dulles told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
that halting of United States aid to Yugoslavia might drive Marshal
Tito "into the camp of the Russians."

Expect Rapid
Presidential
Agreement
Compromise Plan
Provides 14,000
Mile Road Netwlrk
WASHINGTON (AP) - The 3S-
billion-dollar highway bill, bigget
non-defense spending program ilk
history, was passed by CongreII
yesterday and sent to President
Dwight D. Eisenhower.'
Congressional action was coM-
pleted by an 89-1 roll-call vote In -
the Senate. The lone, disseter
was Sen ,Russell B. Long (D-L.)
Earlier in the day, the House pass-
ed the bill by voice vote and witl-
out debate.
The roadbuilding proram in-
cludes just about everything Presi-
dent Eisenhower requested, exccp$
for bond financing of the federal
outlays. Congressional Democrats
succeeded in substituting t
booststo help pay for the 437year
program.
Bill Called Urgent
President Eisenhower ha listed
the highway bill as an. "urgent"
Item on his program for Congress,.
Supporters of the legislation ex
pect him to sign it promnptly,
perhaps this week.
The bill provides for a $14,8000,-
000,000 hike in taxes to be levied
on highway users in the next 16
years. These will go into effect
July 1 if the President signs it y
that time.
One of'the tax boost woild ad
1 cent to the present 2-cents-a
gallon federal tax on gasoline:and
motor fuels.
The measure represents a comn
promise, worked out last week t
differing bils voter earlier by ,he
two branches.
Features Interstate Highwas
Its major feature calls for a ,-
000 mile network of Interstat
superhighways to cost some 2'
billion dollars. The federal go
ernment would pay 90 per cent
the bill; the states the rest. The
system would connect 42 stt.
capitals and 90 per cent ',,&,0 <
cities of over 50,000 population,
Federal spending on existing
road programs also would be great'
ly increased under the bill's pro-
visions. These outlays would total
$2,550,000,000 in the next three
years and would be matched 50-0
by state contributions.
Additional sums would be spent
on roads in national parks and
forests and on Indian reservations,
bringing total spending to $32,-
900,000,000.
One of the major compromises
in the bill involves the method of
alloting federal road aid ,to the
states. The conferees decided to
retain the present formula-based
on population-for the first three
years. After that, the states would
get what they needed to complete
their sections of the interstate
system.
Long Opposes Taxes
The opposition by Sen. Long to
the bill stemmed from it ta
provisions. He told the Seiatehe
favored the, construction, features
but believed the present highway,
user taxes were sufficient to fi'-
nance'the program

Iceland Vote Threatens NATO Base

He then went directly to a meet-
ing of the Senate Republican Pol-
icy Committee to argue against
further cuts in the $4,502,000,000
foreign aid bill approved earlier
by the foreign relations group.
To Debate Tuesday
The bill comes up for debate on
the Senate floor Tuesday.
Secretary Dulles gave a "sum-
ming up" of administration argu-
ments for the figure approved by
the Foreign Relations Committee.
This sum is 400 million dollars less
than President Eisenhower origin-
ally requested but 600 millions
more than the House voted.
Chairman Styles Bridges (R-NH)
said Secretary Dulles asked for
and got no commitments from the
GOP Policy Committee.
Long Asks Amendment
The conference came as Sen.
Russel B. Long (D-La) filed an
amendment in the Senate to cut
the aid bill by an additional $1,-
800,000,000, to bring it down to
about the $2,765,000,000 which
Congress voted last year.
Secretary Dulles appeared at a
closed session of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee. The group did
not make his testimony public but
Chairman Walter George (-Ga)
yuoted him as saying itais "highly
Important" that aid tox Yugoslavia
be continued.
"The secretary is vitally con-
cerned that we do nothing at this
time to drive the Yugoslavs back
into the camp of the Russians"
George said.
Secretary Dulles was quoted as
saying it would not be in the Un-

By MARY ANN THOMAS
Defeat of the pro-American In-
dependence Conservative Party in
Iceland has raised doubts regard-
ing that small republic's future
status ih the East-West struggile
-and the presence of NATO troups
on the island.
Prof. George Kish of the geo-
graphy department commented
that the Icelandic elections, which
gave the Progressive and Social
Democrats 25 of 52 seats in the
Althing, "will not necessarily mean
the withdrawal of United States
troups" stationed there.
Under a NATO agreement, the
United States maintains a radar'
base at Keflavik manned by 4,000
troups. It was the Keflavik issue
which forced the strategic elec-I
tions after the Progressives pushed'

"The presence of American
troups on Iceland soil has always
been a source of friction," he said.
Secondly, "when the current treaty
was negotiated with the coalition
that has just lost power, it provid-
ed for the construction of certain
facilities which was to be done by
local contractors."
"It seems that politics were in-
volved in awarding the contracts,"
Prof. Kish explained, "since a ma-
jority of them were distributed to
members of one party. This caused
economic discontent."
Soviets Offer Trade
Another economic reason fo-
menting anti-American sentiment
was that neither the United States

arily true Iceland will not acceptI
more bases.
"But it is certain," he added,
"that when the current defense
agreement comes up for negotia-
tion, or even sooner, Iceland will
demand much more stringent con-
ditions.
Communists Increase Strength
Commenting on the increase in
Communist Party seats in the Ice-
landic parliament, Prof William B.
Ballis, a visiting professor in the
political science department from
the University of Washington, in-
dicated the Communists will try
to oust American troups.
"Communist Party line," he
pointed out, "has always aimed at
having us remove our bases from
the perimeter around the Soviet:
Union," and when Communists get

Cognizant of the necessity for
another coalition government in
Iceland, Prof. Daniel Wit of the
political science department com-
mented, "Since there is no abso-
lute majority available in favor of
eviction of United States troups,
apparently there will be some ef-
fort at compromise."
"The most likely result will be
a coalition government which will
attempt to reduce the size of the
American installation and perhaps
compel the United States to make
some form of paymen to Iceland,
w hich at present it does not do,"
he said,
Prof. Wit cited the new Soviet
foreign policy of peaceful compe-
tition and deemphasis of armed
forces as a possible influence on
