Eisenhower Will Remain
In Capitol Despite Cold
WASHINGTON, March 7 (W)—Harassed by an inflamed
ear, cold and cough, President Eisenhower said today he is
remaining in Washington to cope with the Middle East
problem.'
Eisenhower also told a news conference he thinks gov
eminent spending can be slowed
clown to ease the pressure that
keeps pushing living costs up
ward. He said he is investigating
this possibility through the Cab
inet and other responsible offi
cials.
"With this cost of living con
tinuing to rise," he said, "it is
necessary we all watch our spend
ing to the utmost degree."
With respect to the rising
trend in living costs, the chief
executive was asked whether he
bad anything in mind to attack
it. He said that was one of the
reasons he had directed a care
ful review of the entire budget.

Some in the Senate had con
tended that the President already

the Senate made the change in the
resolution accordingly.
Eisenhower, at his news confer
ence today, refused to be drawn
into a discussion of whether he
already had the authority, saying
'Congress "approves of what we
I are trying to do in this area,' and
that is the important thing."

Farm Bill Finally
Killed by House
WASHINGTON. March 7 (Al—
After two days of hot partisan
debate and flareups, the House
today killed a Republican farm
bill to aid corn growers. It then
quit until next Tuesday for a
cooling-off period.
House farm leaders indicated
they would seek a truce over the
weekend in the bitter political
fighting which has developed over
rival proposals for new corn and
feed grain subsidies.
The conference ranged through
these additional topics:
•MIDDLE EAST Eisenhower
declined to give a personal ap
praisal of the present situation,
particularly as it relates to 'lsrael
and Egypt.
•WATER A reporter who
mentioned varying views on the
value or harm of fluoridated wat
er wanted to know, amid a round
of laughter, whether Eisenhower
drinks bottled or tap water.
Grinning, Eisenhower said he
didn't mind answering that—in
the White House he drinks tap
wafer, very often.

Foreign Aid
Money Pool
Requested
WASHINGTON, March 7 (g'}
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
was advised by a special board
today that the United States
should create a pool •of money
which could be tapped by needy
countries—allies and neutrals
alike—to develop their economies.
"It should be the sole United
States agency for long-term eco
nomic growth in the underdevel
oped areas," the International De
velopment Advisory Board said.
The board's report was made
public by its chairman, Eric
Johnston, who is president of the
Motion Picture Assn. of America.
Name Suggested
It said this money pool should
be administered by the Interna
tional Cooperation Administra
tion, which runs the foreign aid
program. It suggested a name:
International Development Fund.
And it staked out the fund's
purpose:
"To promote economic pro
gress, to avert a lapse into eco
nomic stagnation."
Johnston-'s report said Congress
should appropriate enough money
to keep the fund going for at
least three years. He specified no
amount but called for enough to
permit "a substantial increase in
capital investment and technical
' assistance programs."
Separation Stressed
The report stressed that eco
nomic aid to underdeveloped
countries should be separated
from military aid. And it said:
"In many instances today, a
dollar spent for economic devel
opment assistance abroad will
produce a more permanent se
curity for our nation than a dollar
spent on military assistance."
Major emphasis would be on
long-term easy pay loans rather
than on outright grants. But coun
tries too poor to repay such loans
would get help free.

In his speech last week, Porten
said Trujillo played a large part:

spoke, groups of pro-Trujillo and

Freighter Collides
With Navy Tanker
NEW CASTLE, Del., March 7 ("P)—A freighter and a
Navy-owned tanker slammed together early today at the
"Graveyard" bend of the Delaware River, setting off an
explosion that ripped a 100-foot hole in the fuel carrier.
Ten men on the tanker were missing and feared dead.
Thirty-five others were rescued as were all 23 aboard the
S.S. Elna 11. Fifteen of the res-
cued—some pulled from the flam
ing oil - slick—required hospital
treatment. Other s were minis
tered to by rescuers. None were
reported in serious condition.
Burned for 16 Hours
The impact of the explosion,
felt 30 miles away, sent the tanker
Mission San Francisco to the hot-
Wm in shallow water. Its bow and
stern, superstructures, which
burned fiercely for more than 16
hours, protruded from the water.
The river is about two miles
wide where the collision occurred
at the "Graveyard of the Ships"
bend off Pea Patch Island, but
the navigable channel is 100-150
yards across.
The bend got its name from the
numerous maritime accidents that
have occurred there.
Captain Unconscious
Capt. Alexander Kaare of the
Elna said, "We rammed into the
starboard-right-bow of the tank
er at about 12:25 a.m. I don't know
what happened immediately after
that because I was knocked Un
conscious."
Kaare, of Toronto, said the col
lision was the fault of the tanker.
The freighter's pilot, Henry Rice
of New Milford, Del., agreed.

De Valera Elected
Parlimentary Head
Of Irish Republic
DUBLIN, Ireland, March 7 (W)
—Eamon de Valera regained con
trol of Parliament tonight in a
smashing political comeback for
'the 74-year-old New York-born
Irish patriot.
He will become prime minister
for a third time amidst simmer
ings for a new armed revolt
against British rule in Northern
Ireland and in a time of economic
stress.
But the nearly blind though still
physically active "Dev," the last
surviving commandant of the out
lawed Irish Republican Army, is
an advocate of peaceful negotia
tion as the best means of uniting
the country.
The newly chosen Parliament
' will meet March 20 for the formal
election of De Valera as prime
Iminister—a post in which he has
served for a total of 18 year&
