Economic Battle
Must Be Won—lke
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 (/Py— President Dwight D. Eisen
hower exhorted all America today to “wake up” to the urgent
need of a free world victory in the economic struggle with
the Communists.
“Defeat in this contest could be as disastrous as defeat in
an armaments race,” said a statement which the President
French Set
Tight Rule
in Algeria
PARIS, Jan. 11 (/P) —'The French
Cabinet today clamped a tight
one-man rule over the mountain
ous coastal region of Algeria in
an attempt to stamp out rebel ter
rorism. In the past 24 hours, 36
persons have been killed in scat
tered Algerian violence.
The unified command, which
merges civil and military powers,
was ordered for the Kabylie area,
which stretches .along the coast
for 150 miles east of Algiers and
includes rugged mountains and
productive coastal farms. The
rebels, fighting to overthrow
French rule, drift down at night
to terroize farmers.
A similar command, described
as working effectively, already
has been set up in the Aures
Mountains in northeast Algeria.
And a third command is in pros
pect for the area around Constan
tine, also in the northeast. Rebels
of the so-called national liberation
army have spread terror in all
three sections since the outbreak
of the insurrection 15 months ago.
The Cabinet acted after receiv
ing a report from Premier Edgar
Faure endorsing the unified com
mands outlined by the governor
general in Algeria, Jacques Sous
telle.
Soustelle also advanced pro
posals for handling the political
aspects of the Algerian problem,
either through a federation or in
tegration of Algeria with France,
but these were only discussed. The
political decisions must await for
mation of a new French govern
ment by the French Assembly
which meets Jan. 19.
At present, Algeria is considered
an actual part of France. Alger
ians enjoy privileges on the level
of French citizens.
Sheppard Wins Appeal
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 11 (JP)
—Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard, con
victed of wife murder in a sensa
tional 1954 Cleveland trial, today
won an important victory. The
Ohio Supreme Court agree to re
view his case.
The high court’s action opened
an avenue of hope to the 32-year
old’osteopath now serving a life
sentence and in Ohio Penitentiary. 1
3rd Bipartisan Attempt Falls
Flat in State Tax Deadlock
HARRISBURG, Jan. 11 (JP)
—A third bipartisan attempt
to break a year-long tax dead
lock fell flat today.
Sen. Rowland B. Mahany,
Republican floor leader, said
Republican and Democratic legis
lative chieftains made “no head
way” at a conference aimed at
arriving at a bipartisan tax pro
gram. But he added:
“I still think that if we don’t
have enough votes for our sales
tax program, I feel we’ll have to
vote for theirs. That’s my per
sonal opinion.”
Mahany disclosed that two
forms of sales taxes—a 2 per cent
rate with no exemptions except
on food, or a 3 per cent rate with
exemptions on industrial machin
ery, public utilities and other
items—will be brought before the
Senate Republican caucus next
Monday.
"We can’t say yes or no about
anything at this time,” he said.
"It has to ‘be a decision of the!
caucus.” I
Mahany said his caucus also]
Will discuss—with a question l
endorsed. “We could lose this eco
nomic contest unless the country
as a whole wakes up to all its im
plications.”
A major purpose of the state
ment was evidently to enlist sup
port for Eisenhower’s foreign aid
plans, which are faced with rough
going in Congress. For example,
Sen. Walter George (D-Ga.) has
voiced vigorous opposition to Eis
enhower’s request for authority to
embark on a long-range program
of economic aid to other nations
The statement was read by Sec
retary of State John Foster Dulles
at his news conference. Dulles
called reporters’ attention to the
words “as a whole" and said they
'were underlined in the statement.
| He said it came from the U.S.
delegation to the current session
of the United Nations General As
sembly. He added that he received
it last Dec. 9, discussed it with
jEisenhower Christmas Eve and
made it public today on the occa
jsion of his first news conference
Since then.
In response to a question, Dulles
said he and the President agree
with the statement. He said it
very strongly reenforces adminis
tration views inherent/in such for
eign aid proposals as Eisenhower’s
call for long-range spending au
thority over a period of up to 10
years.
■ The statement described the
current cold war phase as appar
ently “a shift ... in which eco
nomic and social problems have
moved to the forefront.”
Democrats to Pick
Delegates-at-Large
HARRISBURG (JP)—The Demo
cratic State Committee will meet
in Harrisburg Jan. 27 to select
28 delegates-at-large to the Dem
ocratic National Convention at
Chicago in July.
Genevieve Blatt, secretary of
internal affairs and committee
secretary, said the group will dis
cuss a plan to elect four district
delegates from each of the state's
30 congressional districts.
If the plan is approved, the 148
delegates would have a voting
strength of 74 at the presidential
nominating session or one-half
vote each.
Harriman Endorsed
ALBANY, N.Y., Jan. 11 (/Pi-
Democratic county chairmen of
| New York State today unani
mously endorsed Gov. Averell
Harriman for the Democratic
I nomination for president.
mark behind possible approval—
a four-part program proposed by
Rep. Readinger, House Demo
cratic floor leader.
The Readinger program would,
yield $450 million which comes'
fairly close to what Gov. Leader
feels he needs to balance the
Commonw ea 11 h’s $1,800,000,000
budget in the current biennium.
“We made no agreements,”!
Redinger said after the confer
ence. “But until the House knows
what the Republican Senate will
do, the House won’t move.”
Readinger renewed his empha
sis that Republicans must agree
to a bipartisan tax program in
advance of any house action on
taxes, includes the 2 personal net
incorrte tax.
The Democratic-controlled
House has sent two tax programs
—the $4ll million classified in
come tax and the 3% per cent
manufacturers’ excise tax—to the
Senate where both were defeated
by Republicans.
Earlier in the day, M. Harvey
Taylor, Senate president pro tem
pore who led the GOP delegation
to the tax conference, voiced his
outright opposition to the Readin
ger income tax.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
State Official
Orders Polio
Shots Halted
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 11 —
: Blaming what he called physi
cians’ complaints of “competition
and socialized medicine,” a state
medical officer today ordered a
halt to Allegheny County’s free
polio vaccine program for needy
children.
Dr. A. M. Williams, district
state medical officer, said "mount
ing opposition from private physi
cians” was responsible. He said
he has been receiving up to 10
phone calls a day charging “com
petition and socialized medicine.”
“I’m not going to resume this
program until we get things
straightened o\it with the Alle
gheny County Medical Society,”
said Dr. Williams.
The society did not comment
immediately.
Under the program started Dec.
17 nearly 60,000 needy children
qualified for the free vaccine in
Allegheny County. This was
separate from the nationwide free
polio vaccine inoculations spon
sored by the National Foundation
.for Infantile Paralysis for Ist and
2nd graders.
Dr. Williams said “as of the
middle of December” only a hand
ful of doctors requested vaccine
for their needy patients.
State Farm Group
Gives Endorsement
To Soil Bank Plan
HARRISBURG (JP) —State Farm
Show officials almost unanimous
ly today favored President Dwight
D. Eisenhower’s billion dollar soil
bank plan.
Agreement with the major point
in the President’s nine-pronged
plan for the betterment of the
agricultural industry was made
with qualifications in most cases,
however.
“There is no getting away from
it, he’s on the right track when
he proposes a soil bank plan but
ho\y he is going to implement it
will be the proof of the pudding.”
said state Agriculture Secretary
William L. Henning.
Others, including Miles Horst,
former agriculture secretary and
now Republican state chairman,
completely endorsed the plan
with predictions for its success.
W. S. Hager, another former
state agriculture secretary, term
ed the program “definitely a step!
in the right. direction.”
Lyman E. Jackson, dean of the
agriculture college at Pennsyl
vania State University and a
member of the Farm Show Com
mission, attached all hope for suc
cess of the plan to “cooperation
between the farmer and the
agency administering the plan.”
Super-Bomb
Tests to Go On
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 (/P) —
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles served notice today that
the United States will carry on
tests of atomic and hydrogen
bombs because it is “impera
tive” to hold an American lead
in nuclear weapons.
Dulles said he believes this
country is ahead now although he
conceded that the question of its
atomic position in relation to the
Soviet Union is partly a matter of
speculation.
The effect of Dulles’ comment,
in response to questions, was to
reject various suggestions, most
ly from leaders in countries
which are neutral in the cold war,
that bomb tests be discontinued.
Possible Site for New
Ebbets Field Located
BROOKLYN, Jan. 11 (JP) A
site near the Long Island Rail
Road Terminal at Flatbush and
Atlantic avenues was termed
“large and suitable enough for a
new Ebbets Field” today by John
Cashmore, borough president.
Cashmore made his statement
after study of a six months’ sur
vey designed to find a new ball
park for the Brooklyn Dodgers af
ter the 1957 season.
■ Walter O’Malley, president of
the Dodgers, has threatened to
move the team out of Brooklyn
unless a new' location is found.
The Dodgers are playing seven
games next season in Jersey City.
Ike Still Silent
About Primary
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 (JP) —President Dwight D. Eisen-
hower, still keeping his own counsel on the second term
question, today refused to “assent or dissent” to entry of his
name in the Illinois presidential preference primary April 10.
I A White House statement said, however, this was not
[to be interpreted as meaning the President has yet made a
•final decision on whether to run
The statement was issued after
Gov. William G. Stratton of Illi
,
nois announced in Springfield, 111.,
that he would enter the Presi
dent’s name. Stratton said he had
not consulted Eisenhower, but
1 added:
“This is our way of saying, Mr.
President, we hope you run
again.”
The White House statement was
issued by James C. Hagerty, press
secretary to the President, with
Eisenhower’s approval.
It came as a hot Republican-
Democratic row developed over a
statement by Sen. Robert S. Kerr
!(D-Okla.) suggesting that Repub
licans be careful not to put too
1 great a burden on Eisenhower’s
health.
In his weekly newsletter to con
stituents, Kerr noted that Eisen
hower’s State of the Union mes
sage was read to Congress by
clerks and added:
“The fact that he was physically
unable to deliver it in person is
evidence that - 'it was either much
too long, or, that those so urgently
pushing him to run again should
tuke warning lest they put too
great a burden on his physical re
serve.
“However, these Republicans
[are so alarmed about their own
low political reserve they plan to!
bring Ike to the GOP convention,
even if he has to stay in Letter
man General Hospital at San
Francisco, which reportedly is
preparing a suite for him.”
Maj. Gen. Paul I. Robinson,
commandant of the hospital, said
Dec. 25 that a suite was being
prepared at the hospital. It was
explained that it would be ready
should the President attend the
national convention next August
and need a place to rest.
Virginia Governor Asks
Quick Segregation
RICHMOND, Va. (JP) Gov.
Thomas B. Stanley today asked
the Virginia Legislature for
orompt action to carry out the
first step of a segregated school
program.
In an address to the opening
session of the 1956 General As
sembly, Stanley declared the
limited constitutional convention
approved in Monday’s referendum
“should be held as early as prac
ticable.”
Voters gave their overwhelming
approval to amendment’ of the
state constitution to clear the way
for using public funds for a child's

Three Jailed
For Strike
Violence
SHARON, Pa., Jan. 11 (JP)
Three pickets were jailed today
in a new outbreak of violence at
the struck Sharon transformer
plant of Westinghouse Electric
Corp.
City police arrested two of the
[men shortly after midnight and
held them as “suspicious persons”.
Police said they hurled a rock
and a bottle at an auto leaving
the plant.
They were identified as Ken
neth Peterson, 41, of Concord,
N.Y., former international repre
sentative of the striking AFL
CIO International Union of Elec*
trical Workers, and Frank Sime
on, 23, of R.D. 1, Hubbard, Ohio,
an employe of the Sharon plant.
Police reported four autos leav
ing the plant were stoned last
night and early today, and several
others were scratched or “scored”
with pieces of wire.
PHILADELPHIA (JP) Secret
negotiations were launched today
by a federal mediator in a new
effort to find a basis for “genuine
collective bargaining” to end the
13-week strike of Westinghouse
Electric Corp. workers.
But no matter how today’s peace
talks end, even on an optimistic
note, mediator John Murray
warned that “the strike couldn’t
be settled in anything less than
two weeks.”
Murray huddled at an undis
closed site with Robert D. Blasier,
Westinghouse vice president for
industrial relations, and James B.
Carey, president of the JVFL-CIO
International Union of Electrical
Workers which represents 44,000
strikers.
The Independent United Elec
trical and Radio Workers Union,
representing 10.000 Westinghouse
employes, also struck in October
—and for the same reasons: high
er wages and other benefits.
