FOUR PAGES FOUR PAGES Committee Sets $4 Billion Limit Senate-House Conference Agrees on Foreign Appropriation Ceiling WAtHINGTON (/)-A Senate-House Conference Committee agreed yesterday to authorize a ceiling of $4,128,283,370 on foreign aid, but the House Appropriations Committee in a separate action voted to hold the appropriation to $3,665,920,000. . These figures, for the fiscal year which began last Sunday, com- pare with the 2 billion dollars Congress appropriated last year, and with about $4,900,000,000 President Dwight D. Eisenhower asked for the new year. Foreign aid programs always have to go through two processes. First comes authorization, in which a ceiling is set. Then comes the - appropriation of the actual money. Nixon Tells Vietnamese Of U.S. Aid SAIGON, South Viet Nam (-)- Vice-President Richard M. Nixon told cheering Vietnamese yester- day they have the support of the American people in the fight to make their young republic strong and safe from Communist en- croachment. Arriving here from Manila on an official visit, Nixon brought a personal message for , President Dwight D. Eisenhower, saying the American people greatly admired Viet Nam's progress toward con- stitutional government. President's Message "I am proud," said the Presi- dent's message, "that the govern- .ment and the people of the United States have been able to contrib- ute to your successful efforts to restore 'stability and security to your country, and to lay a solid basis for social and economic re- construction." In an address to the Vietnam- ese Constituent Assembly, Nixon declared . that "although your country is divided, the militant march of communism has been halted " Nixon came here Just two weeks before the expiration of the dead- line set by the Geneva conference for elections to unite Viet Nam, slit by the Indochina armistice agreement two years ago. Refuses To Hold Elections Diem has refused to hold the elections on the ground they would not be free in the Communist northern half of the country. The United States has.backed Diem's position. "Nixon told the Assembly that "behind the enlightened leader- ship of your .President, Viet Nam for the first time can look for- ward to achieving her rightful place among thefree nationsf the world." "You may be sure," he added, "that you will have the warm sup- port and admiration of the Ameri- can people." The Nixons leave today for a brief visit with President Chiang Kai-shek at Taipei, Formosa. Czechs Stop Plot To Seize _Prague Station VIENNA, Austria (P)-Commu- nist Czechoslovakia disclosed yes- terd y it swiftly smashed a plot in 1953to seize Prague's 'radio sta- tion and post office and burn its largest prison. The Czech security police finally r disclosed the story in the July 4 issue of Prace, official newspaper * of the Czech trade unions. A copy of the paper reached Vienna yes- terday. Publication of the story nov obviously was meant as a warn- ing against revolts such as the June 28 bread and freedom up- rising by workers at Poznan, in Communist Poland. The story was represented as a dramatic example of how the se- curity police are daily combating spies, subversives and others trying to undermine the Communist. The Prace story gave no date for the incident, leaving the im- pression it happened recently. Czech police and the editor of Prace, who talked by telephone with The Associated Press in Vien- na, said the revolt broke in 1953 and was hushed up. Prace's editor said, "We only now received this Votes for Ceiling In the authorization procedure, the House voted for a ceiling of $3,800,000,000. President Eisenhow- er and other administration leaders protested this was dangerously low, and their efforts were a factor in a Senate voting for a ceiling of $4,562,000,000. The Senate-House Conference Committee then was named to reconcile these two ceilings. Sen- ator Walter George (D-Ga) an- nounced yesterday that a com- promise authorization had been reached at $4,128,283,370. Sen. George said the Conference Committee still had some work to do on language changes, but "we split almost down the middle on all money items." When the committee makes its final report, the legislation will go back to the Senate and House for final action. House To Act In the appropriations side of the process, the bill voted yesterday by the House Appropriations Commit- tee is due to be actednon by the House Monday. The Appropriations Committee figured President Eisenhower's money request total at $5,071,875,- 000, made up of $4,859,975,000 in new money and $211,900,000 in re- appropriation of carried over funds. It figured its reduction from the total asked at 28 per cent, or $1,405,955,000. It said the cut would not handicap aid programs, since it said there is still $6,870,000,000 in previously appropriated money which has not been spent.. The committee also noted that its new bill is 900 million dollars higher than last year's appropria- tion. The administration says it needs bigger appropriations to maintain aid shipments at a steady rate, and to keep the pipeline flowing to friendly nations which need help in the face of Russian designs against the non-Communist world. Conservatives Pick Jenner As Candidate CHICAGO (A')-A move to put the name of Senator William E. Jenner (R-Ind) on the Nov. 6 Illinois ballot as an independent presidential candidate was started yesterday. The third party effort, launched by a group named the Independ- ent Elector Plan of Illinois, had Senator Harry F. Byrd (D-Va) as vice-presidential candidate. Petitions were distributed in the Hamilton Hotel, in Chicago's Loop, as a session in which Mrs. Marion R. Cleveland of Chicago, execu- tive director of the group, discuss- ed its aims. Mrs. Cleveland, an unsuccessful candidate in the Illinois primary for a Republican congressional nomination, said the plan is to foster a slate of 27 elector candi- dates in cooperation with For America, a national group of con- servatives. "This time," Mrs. Cleveland said, "all conservatives will have a chance to vote for a presidential candidate to their liking, instead of taking the lesser of two evils, as has been the case in the last 24 years."

A, Angell GM Faces Antitrust Charges Accused of Monopoly Of Bus Manufacture DETROIT (A )-The huge Gen- eral Motors Corp. was accused of illegally monopolizing the manu- facture and sale of buses in an antitrust suit filed by the Justice Department in U.S. District Court yesterday. The department also charged GM with conspiring with four large bus-operating companies to maintain the alleged monopoly. It asked the court to enjoin GM from selling more than 50 per cent of the annual bus requirements of the four"firms. GM President Harlow H. Curtice denied the government claims. He declared in a statement that the corporation "has no financial in- terest in any manufacturer or op- erator of buses" and "no require- ments contracts with any bus op- erators." He also said GM "engages in no discrimination as regards prices, terms and conditions in the sale of its buses." The government complaint charged that GM turned out at least 65 per cent of all new buses delivered in the United States and last year sold 2,724 buses, or 84.3 per cent .of the total grossing 55 million dollars. The Justice Department asked that GM be enjoined from selling more than 50 per cent of the an- nual bus requirements of the oper- ating companies named in the suit as co-conspirators, but not de- ferdants. They are the Hertz Corp., New York; Greyhound Corp., Chi- cago; National City Lines, Inc., Chicago, and Public Service Co- ark, N.J.- Kidnapper Telephones WESTBURY, N. Y. W) - The father of month-old Peter Wein- berger said yesterday the baby's kidnapper telephoned him the child is alive and well. In turn, the father pledged the $2,000 ransom demand. "Am ready to meet your de- mand, awaiting your call," Mor- ris Weinberger told the telephone caller, whom he accepted as the kidnaper. The father said the voice on the phone was male and that some- thing in the conversation-he would not reveal what-led him to believe the man was phoning from Manhattan. The caller said he would watch the afternoon newspapers for con- firmation of the phone remarks and for Weinberger's attitude to- ward the ransom. He also said he would listen to an 11 p.m. network television news broadcast. Weinberger was understandably close-mouthed about the call. There are reports he wants police to withdraw and give him chance to deal with the kidnaper in an effort to spare the life of his youngest son, who was 34 days old yesterday. Nassau County police have in- dicated they will not interfere with any private attempt to retrieve the baby. The child has been missing since the kidnaper snatch- ed him from his carriage on the patio of the Weinberger home in midafternoon of July 4. Weinberger said he received the telephone call at 9:40 a.m.I Ike For Appeals Actioni4 to o LI School Bil Ike Speaks To Friends{ On Future GETIYSBURG, Pa. (P)-President Dwight D. Eisenhower discussed his political future with trusted confidents yesterday, T h e predominant impression around the temporary White House was that he still is running for a second term. Almost four weeks to the day since a major intestinal operation cast new shadows on his inten- tions, President Eisenhower talked politics yesterday with presidential assistant Sherman Adams and press secretary James C. Hagerty. Decision Secret Any definite decision, if there was one, was a secret locked up tightly among this trio. But Hagerty came away from his talk with the President in bub- bling good humor, wearing a Cheshire cat grin, and eager to volunteer to newsmen that he had been chatting with the boss about "both personal politics and gener- al politics." "You weren't disappointed in the nature of your discussion?" a reporter inquired. "No," Hagerty said, "we talked politics." Did the President say whether he would run again? "I am not going to say," Hagerty replied. If President Eisenhower had said he wouldn't keep his hat in the ring would Hagerty be grinning the way he was? "I might have been grinning one way or the other," he an- swered-still grinning. Happy Either Way Later on, Hagerty remarked that "I'd be happy if he was going to stay in the White House and I'd be happy if he was going to leave the White House." One White House correspondent polled a dozen of his colleagues after Hagerty's news conference and said they believed 11-1 that President Eisenhower still is run- ning. Hagerty himself fended off all efforts to draw him out on that point. If the President hadin- formed him of a decision, he said, he wouldn't even tell newsmen that, much less what it was. As to when there might be some announcement as a result of the political conversations, Hagerty merely repeated, "I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know." Can't Locate Crashed Plane NEW YORK (P) - The Navy abandoned hope yesterday of lo- cating the wreckage. of the Vene- zuelan air liner which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean June 20 with 74 persons. Searchers theorize that the plane, engulfed by flames and shattered by explosions, had dis- integrated. Drink Up! PHOENIX, Ariz. (A)-Offi- cials at radio station KRUX mopped their brows yesterday-- but not from the city's 100-plus heat or humidity. The station's seven disc jockeys opened their programs Tuesday and Wednesday sing- ing Christmas carols for victims of traffic accidents "who won't be around in December to hear them." They promised a soft drink to everyone in Arizona if the State got through July 4 without a traffic fatality. None were re- ported. F irst Class Postal Rates *o Increase WASHINGTON UP)-The House yesterday passed a bill raising postal rates a total of $430,100,100 a year. The bill would raise the cost of mailing a first class letter from three to four cents. The vote was 217-165. The measure now goes to the Senate, where it faces an uncer- tain future in the waning days of this session of Congress. Opposed by a majority of House Democrats, the bill was supported solidly by Republicans and some Southern Democrats. The vote represented a victory for Presi- dent Dwight D. Eisenhower and his administration. Since 1953, the administration has sought rate increases from Congress sufficient to offset an an- nual post office deficit running up to half a billion dollars, and to put the postal service on a bal- anced operating budget. Democrats centered their fire on the increase in first class mail- ing rates. This increase, representing $295,- 700,000 of the total annual revenue increase, was branded unfair by Democratic critics and described as a "33 !3 per cent tax" on or- dinary mail users. GOP Enlists Farmers' Aid DENVER () - Dan Thornton, former Colorado governor, hopes to enlist 1,000 active farmers and ranchers to carry the GOP agri- culture county message to voters in every farm county in the nation next fall, he said yesterday. The campaign, Thornton said in an interview, will begin in the Mid- west farm states and will spread to all other agricultural regions of the nation in September and October. The Coloradoan, a stockman in private life, disclosed the plans as he prepared to leave for Chicago tomorrow to open a headquarters for the organization. It will be located at 105 W. Madison Ave. in the Real Estate Board Bldg. No School Aid Reflects On All Parties: Slosson .# By ADELAIDE WILEY The House of Representative's failure to pass federal aid to schools is a grave reflection on both political parties, Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the history department said yesterday. "Although I believe in school integration", he commented, "it would have been better to pass the school aid bill without the clause for integration, so at least we would have aid. "And it looks as though the result is no aid". White Against Powell Agreeing basically with Prof. Slosson was Prof. John P. White of political science department. He remarked the interesting thing Abmut thw gill was that _as widel a,,,.,t. V e 0111 ws'r a mp '" W1 ,J V predicted, the tacked-on Powell amendment for integrated schools caused defeat, because Republi- cans against federal aid voted for the amendment, knowing demo- crats would split over it. "This was a poor piece of politi- cal strategy on the part of Clay- ton Powell, I think. Powell must have known his amendment would fail. For what he considers a prin- ciple, he sacrificed better educa- tion-political stupidity. Quarles For Powell Direct oppostiion to P r o f. White's beliefs about Powell's Amendment came from Prof. Ben- jamin Quarles, visiting professor in history from Morgan State Uni- versity. He said the amendment should go along with a federal aid bill "because if we are going to have the government helping schools, we'd get less for federal money by having segregated schools. The Powell Amendment is sound for the standpoint of constitutionality and using federal money, since dual school systems are more costly''. From the education department, Prof. Howard Jones offered opin- ionc opposing Prof. Quarles'. Jones Opposes Powell He felt there is adequate re- course through courts for desegre- gation-"If we attach something like the Powell Amendment to school aid, particularly for build-' ings, not curriculum, we'll be at- taching it to hospital bills, road bills, and so on. The Supreme Court asked for orderly procedure in desegregation and it's better to keep Powell's amendment out of the legislature". Prof. James W. Downer of the English department s a i d he thought there were "some political shenanigans in attaching that amendment. "With certain areas federal aid is inevitable", Prof Downer added. "Perhaps we in prosperous Michi- gan don't realize this, but many other states do need federal aid of some sort and can't pay for schools from their own pockets". Fulbri iht Awards ANN ARBOR 0P)-Two Univer- sity faculty members- have been awarded grants under the Ful- bright act to lecture abroad. They are Watson Dickerman, as- sociate professor of education, and Henry L. retton, Assistant Profes- sor of political science. Congress .1 Adlai Talks To Farmers In Midwest' OMAHA (' - Adlai Stevenson said yesterday the main theme of his rural swing through Midwest corn, hog and cattle country was to sound out farmer opinion on his thoughts as to a "genuine soil conservation program" The candidate for the Democrat- ic presidential nomination spent most of the day with his sleeves rolled up and shirt collar unbut- toned as he talked to farmers, store keepers and agricultural sta- bilization and conservation office workers. When his travels were over he told reporters his plan for a "gen- uine soil conservation program" was on* providing increased in- ducements for putting land into soil-building crops. He said that he felte doing this would reduce production of cash crops and 'change the emphasis from allot- ments and production controls to increasing the acrege of roage crops." Then, he commented, the law of supply and demand could be al- lowed to operate for cash crops. Stevenson emphasized that the entire farm problem requires a "variety of programs" to reach a solution and that his conservation ideas were only a part of what would be needed. Drouth condition, he comment- ed, appeared to him to be worse in southern Iowa than in the parts of Missouri and Nebraska that he toured.

Eisenhower hasn't given up hope for school aid legislation at this session of Congress. This was made known to report- era yesterday by presidential pres secretary James C. Hagerty as post-mortem recriminations con1- tinued over defeat of such a mas-. ure in the House Thursday by a 224-154 vote. Hagerty said in' Gettysburg there will be "continued expressions of the President's hope that Congress will act on the school bill, through conversations with leaders, or word relayed to our legislative repr- sentatives." No TV Appeal Hagerty said he knows of no plan for President Eisenhower to make a television appeal for school aid legislation. As to whether President isen- hower would want the bill in the form in which the House rejected it, Hagerty said: "We're interested in school rooms." Hagerty also was asked whether President Eisenhower would want the bill "with or without the Pow- ell amendment" Hagerty replied that the President had expressed himself many times and "thinks they should be separate." Before rejecting the school bill the House nailed on an antisegre- gation amendment by Rep. Adam Powell (D-NY). It would require states to "comply' with decisions of the Supreme Court" to be elig- ible for federal funds. Who To Blame? Republicans and Democrats tried to fix the blame on each other for House rejection of a $1,600,000,000 federal aid construction program. AdWa Stevenson, candidate for the Democratic presidential nomi- nation, was among those getting into the act. "Republicans must take the re- sponsibility," Stevenson said in a statement. "Our 'children's edua- tion, and therefore the future of the country, suffered a serious blow yesterday with the defeat of the school bill." Stevenson added: "Evidently a crisis already des- perate must get still worse before we do anything about it." Strike Enters Second Week; Miners Idled PITTSBURGH W)---The nation- wide steel strike drifted yesterday toward the end of its first week, leaving in its wake a loss of near- ly two million tons of steel and workers in allied industries. Anid by next Tuesday the steel strike will hit the coal industry a staggering blow. That marks the end of the miner's annual 10-day vacation. The captive mines, those owned by steel companies, will be the first to feel the pinch. United States Steel Corp., the world's largest steel producer, an- nounced yesterday all its coal mines in western Pennsylvania, with the exception of Robena, and those in West Virginia and Ken- tucky, will not reopen next Tues- day. How many captive miners will be idled next week is problemati- cal, but one source said the num- ber may reach an estimated 30,- 000. There was no sign of an early break in the stalemated contract dispute. Both sides expressed will- ingness to resume bargaining but neither showed any desire to take the initiative in reviving meetings.
