Hears News
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Thomas Turn-

Puerto Rico where the American
Governors Conference is now in
session.)
By THOMAS TURNER
)AN JUAN, P. R. - The big-
gest news at the 51st annual Gov-
ernors' Conference yesterday was
the announcement that President
Dwight D. Eisenhower will trade
visits with Soviet Premier Nikita
S. Khrushchev.
The governors., here agreed the
exchange visits are generally a
sound idea.
Gov John Patterson, of Ala-
bama. compared the value of Ike
knowing Khrushchev to that of a
governor being able to phone oth-
er governors over an interstate
problem using the first name.
Lavish Parley
Families of the nation's gov-
ernors have been arriving since
Wednesday for this lavish con-
ference.
Independista pickets staged a
demonstration Sunday in front of
the San Juan Intercontinental
Hotel, the site of the conference.
Cars were forced to move slow-
ly through the crowd while pick-
ets shouted "Yankee Go Home"
and spat or -ars. The governors
questioned agreed that status is
something for the Puerto Ricans
to decide.
Politicking is going on con-
stantly here - on the surface and
behind the scenes.
Political Discussions
New York Gov. Nelson Rocke-
feller is the subject of the great-
est speculation. He told reporters
Sunday "under no circumstances"
is he a vice-presidential candi-
date.
He added he is not now a pres-
idential candidate, but "circum-
stances might change his mind."
The consensus here is that
Rockefeller must act soon, since
Vice-President Richard M. Nix-
on's trip to Russia is giving the
Vice-President a head start to-
wards theRepublican presiden-
tial nomination.

through the Senate their use tax
increase bill. .
A vote of 20-11 sent the bill
back to the House which was ex-
pected to throw it into an inter-
chamber conference to adjust
differences.
All favorable votes came from
Republicans.
One Republican, Sen. John T.
Smeekens of Coldwater, joined
Democrats in opposing it.
The bill, which would, in ef-
fect, increase the present three,

cent, represents the heart of the
Republican Senate's revenue
program.
Besides raising the use tax, it
would apply the higher levy to
hotels and motel rooms, tele-
phone bills and sales of con-
struction materials used in fed-
eral projects.
Supporters before last night
had estimated its yield in new
revenue for the present fiscal
year at 116 million dollars.
Last night, the revenue fore-
cast was raised to 127 millions,
chiefly because of a sharp rise
in sales tax collections during
July reported earlier in the day.

WARSAW (P)-Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, cheered by the
Polish people at every turn, wof the applause of Polish officials and
foreign diplomats last night with a toast to peace.
The scene was thegreat hall of the palace of Poland's cabinet.
The occasion was President Aleksandr Zawadzki's official recep-
tion for the Vice-President and Mrs. Nixon. The reception came at
the end of a day in which Nixon
hower's brother, Dr. Milton Eisen-'e
hower, sat across a table from
Poland's government and Com-
munist Party leaders and talked
for five hours and 20 minutes,
largely about their differences on
international questions.
In offering a toast to Nixon,
Zawadzki said the United States
and Poland together had fought
German militarism.
He charged that "forces of re-
venge" still exist in West Ger-
many.
Nixon recalled that President
Eisenhower had seenthe war de-
struction in Poland 14 years ago
and that the Vice-President had3
seen Warsaw's reconstruction.

day's talks there were many dif-j

added:
"There was complete agreement
on this one issue : what happened
to Warsaw, what happened to
Poland in the last war, to Poland
that suffered in two wars, must
not happen again either to Poland
or any other country on earth.",
The crowded hall burst into ap-
plause as his remark went home.

who disagree on economic and
foreign policies can and will find a
way to settle their differences

Labor Bill
VotelToday
WASHINGTON () - Speaker
of the House Sam Rayburn (D-
Tex.), yesterday threw his power-
ful support behind the much-buf-
feted labor bill put together by
the House Labor Committee.
The bill, denounced by theI
Eisenhower .Administration as too
weak and by organized labor as
too strong, is stuck in the House
Rules Committee, where it is due
to be considered today.
Rayburn, in his first public
comment on the subject, praised
the labor committee for doing
what he called a splendid job.
The committee was badly split.
When it voted 16-14 to clear the
bill only five members actually
favored it.
The rest said they approved it
only to .get it out where the House
Forty-three Democrats have,

LANSING M)-Nearly 15 million'
dollars in cash receipts hit Michi-
gan's bare statetreasury yesterday
and immediately was divvied up
among state creditors, some of
them long-suffering.
Counting a few hundred thou-
sand dollars on hand over the
weekend, a total of 151/2 million
dollars was distributed at a special
state administrative board meet-
ing as follows:
1) Six million dollars to com-
plete payment of July appropria-
tion installments to the University
($3,000,000), Michigan State' ($2,-
300,000) and Wayne State ($700,-
000).
2) About $4,100,000 due Wayne
for the fiscal year ended last June
30.
3) Two million dollars to state
contractors and suppliers, includ-
ing a few contractors who have
been waiting for their money since
last December.
4) About $3,200,000 was trans-
ferred to be applied against cur-
rent obligations for the to-called
welfare categorical aid programs,
covering monthly checks to the
aged, disabled, blind and depend-
ent children.
Of the sum set aside for ven-
dors, half will be applied to sup-,
port release of 5,000 state war-
rants (checks) held by Aud. Gen.
Frank S. Szymanski for amounts
of under $50,000.
That will cut Szymanski's back-
log down to about 23,000 warrants
totaling five million dollars.
The other half was alibcated for
larger past- due obligations, chiefly
for payment of contractors on the
Boys Vocational School project at
Whitmore Lake, the Plynouth
State Home and Training School
and an expansion of the state
power plant at Kalamazoo.

MOSCOW (A) - The diplo-

when the announcement came
from the foreign ministry that

The announcement was read

was read rapidly in Russian by
a deputy press chief and trans-

will also spend ten days or so
traveling about the country.
