Launch Search For Places To Reduce Budget >Budget*Cutters Os Both Parties Seek Budget Reductions WASHINGTON (UP)— Congressional budget-cutters of both parties tatean searching today for plans to trim President EisenhcdMrs record $71.8 billion spending program for the new fiscal year. Rep. John Taber (R-NY>, ranking GOP member of the House Appropriations Committee, set as his goal a slash of at least $1 billion and possibly as much as $3 billion. Committee Chairman Clarence Canned (D-MO) declined to pick a figure as yet but promised to trim out of the budget - biggest ever in peacetime — “everything we can.*' Cannon has branded the budget "unconscionable.” Bridges Praises Humphrey In the Senate, a key GOP appropriations figure, Sen. Styles Bridges (R-NH), praised Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey’s call for reduced spending and promised, “If I can find away to cut this budget, I’m going to do it.” The economy drive — an annual affair in Congress, not usually crowned with much success—got under way with an official blessing from Mr. Eisenhower. The President conceded at his news conference Wednesday that S7O- - billion is lot of money to take out of the economy through taxes to pay for government spending. The President said he agreed with Humphrey that Congress should cut his budget if the lawmakers can find a place to save "another dollar.” It is "their duty to do it,” he said. Doesn’t Say Where Humphrey recently told a news conference “there are a lot of places” where the budget might be reduced. But he steadfastly refused in daylong questioning by appropriations committee members Wednesday to pinpoint even .one. s ! ' "He indicated it should be lower, but he did not say where it could be cut,” Taber commented (Coatlauea P««e Five) Harley Tumbleson Is Taken By Death Funeral Services Saturday Afternoon Harley M.

TaMMANiIhMI lIVAM icnipviQiwv urop Eases Flood Threat Clearing Weather Follows Cold Wave By UNITED PRESS A fresh blast of frigid air overspread most of the eastern third of the nation today, tumbling temperatures by as much as 40 to 50 degrees in New England. However, the cold air stopped the rise of northeastern strearfte and riven, swollen by melting snow and heavy rams. The Allegheny River hit flood stage in some areas of Pennsylvania, but no serious flooding was reported. At Pittsburgh, the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers exceeded normal pod stage, but remained below flood stage. Several streams in the Cleveland area overflowed Wednesday, but receded to their banks as temperatures dropped. ... Clearing weather followed the arrival of the eold wave,- ending mss’jssa.'.Tgs 1 - fato, N.Y. The fall was a new 24hour high for January. The biggest temperature drops were in New England and New York where early morning readings registered near zero, or 40 to 50 degrees lower than the previous night. The cold air mass also sent readings skidding into the 30s and 40s in the Carolinas and the Gulf states. ' The Northern Plains, meanwhile, were hit by an invasion of subzero ato and readings in North Dakota and Montana ranged from 15 to 20 degrees below zero. Snow flurries coated portions of the Northern Plains, upper Mississippi Valley and the northwest Pacific Coast during the night, but accumulations generally were light. Weathermen said snow, flurries or showers will continue today from the Rockies across the Northern Plains into the Mississippi Valley and the Great Lakes. Sexion Relumed To Adams County Jail Found Wednesday On Railroad Track Chester W. Sexton, 47. of Lexington, Ky., was brought back to the Adams county jail Wednesday afternoon after a brief period of freedom, Sexton, who walked away from the jail Tuesday evening when he was supposed to be firing the jail furnace, was apprehended as he headed east out of town along the Erie railroad tracks. He was brought back to the jail by sheriff Merle Affolder, who investigated the railroad area east of Decatur 04 a tip by someone who saw the man walking along the track. Sexton, the object of a search conducted Tuesday night by deputy Charles Arnold and city police. stated that-he hid out during the night in a parked truck. Sexton was serving 30 days of a six-month sentence on a public intoxication conviction. Five months were suspended by Mayor Robert Cole in city court.

Would Perniit f Guarantee Os i. Annual Wages * Bill Introduced In State Legislature To Permit Payment INDIANAPOLIS (IB — A Republican representative proposed today that Indiana reverse its stand prohibiting workers from drawing full unemployment benefits from the state plus supplemental payments from employers. Rep. Richard Fishering of Fort Wayne introduced in the house of the Legislature a bill which would permit labor contracts with the so-called “guaranteed annual wage” provision now banned by virtue of an Indiana attorney general’s opinion. Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers ruled months ago that contractual supplemental payments had oo be deducted from amounts an unemployed worker might be eligible to draw from the state. Fishering said his bill would permit full state payments plus full supplemental payments, esr seatlhUy the same idea proposed ’ by minority Democrats in bills, ■■f previously introduced.. ' niSs? Other new bills would: Reestablish . a 4-man bipartisan ’ state highway commission (Sen. ’ W. W. Martin.) Require direct primaries for selection of candidates for office in town elections (Martin.) Permit public school buses to transport parochial school children to classes in counties of less than 30,000 population (Sen. James Spurgeon and Rep. Edward Elsner.) Strengthen penalties for persons convicted of possessing narcotics (Reps. Otto Pozgay and Allan Weir.) Pozgay, who authored the Democratic version of the GAW bill, also said today he will introduce a bill permitting pari-mutuel betting on harness horse and dog races. He said: “There is going to be money spent from surrounding states to defeat this bill. Opposition will (Coatlaned oa Pace Five) Plan Exploitation Os Industrial Site C. Os C. President To Name Committee Cliff Brewer, new president of the Decatur Chamber .of Commerce, announced today that as soon as the Greater Decatur Fund drive is completed, he is going to name a new industry committee, for the purpose, of exploiting the Scheimann property being purchased by local firms and citizens. At the present, all the efforts of the organization are being concentrated on the completion of the drive. Today, teams are working on the completion of the drive among retail firms, who.have not yet been contacted or have not yet reported. The drive is still a few thousand short of the amount of money necessary to complete the payment on the first portion of the ground being optioned. An appeal was issued by the Greater Decatur Fund committee to individuals to participate in the drive by sending their contributions in envelopes mailed out over the last week-end. Attorneys are still at work on the legal details in connection with the purchase of the rear portion of the ground and the five-year option on the front area. One of the goals of the committee and the Decatur Chamber of Commerce is to provide sufficient industrial expansion to- employ at home the 200 graduates of yie high schools in the northern part of the county each year. At the present rate of industrial and retail expansion, it is estimated that only one half can find local jobs.

Believe Metesky To ft-' Be Adjudged Insane See Commitment I To Mental Hospital NEW YORK (UP) — Leading psychiatrists and legal experts felt assured today that George Metesky, the captured "mad bomber of Manhattan,” will be adjudged insane and committed to a mental hospital, for his admitted planting of 34 home-made I pipe bombs since 1940. The consensus was that Metes- > ky, the mild-mannered, amiable ! man “who no one ever knew,” would be found incapable of un- ■ derstanding the charges filed against him for his crimes which injured 15 persons and spread alarm over this city. Psychiatric tests of the 53-year-t old Waterbury, Conn., bachelor, I begun Wednesday at Bellevue ■ Hospital, are expected to take ■ about three weeks. If Metesky is found insane under the law, Bellevue doctors will recommend that 1 he be committed to a mental hospital rather than tried on the ' charges. Should the Bellevue finding be 1 challenged, however, the case presumably would develop into a 1 battle of psychiatrists, with a ! New York Supreme Court judge ’ deciding the issue. In the event t of a trial, defense lawyers probL ably would enter a plea of inno“'cfent by> reason at insanity, v---i\ ' . ; Children's Bodies » Are Found In River Three New Jersey i Children Drowned > ■ CRANFORD, N. J. (TO — Grap- . piers recovered the body of Richi ard Johnson, 9, today from the frigid Rahway River a block from where the frozen corpses- of his younger sister and another boy were found Wednesday night. Richard’s body was found by searchers who had resumed grappling the river after daybreak. The river ice has been a death trap 'for other youngsters in the past. The frozen bodies of Richard’s sister, Martha, and Philip Harrington Jr., both 7, were found by a search party near where two other children drowned in 1952 and 1948. The children’s rigid bodies, their arms outstretched for aid, were hooked with grappling irons under the South Avenue Bridge, a quarter mile upstream from Droescher’s Mill Dam. The dam lias been one of the community’s winter play spots for children for years. Two-year-old Joseph Behan plunged through the ice of the river and drowned March 27, 1952. Peter Shoukimas, 5, had drowned in a similar accident Jan. 14, 1948. The township had ordered a “study of how to'prevent further mishaps after the drownings but no action had been taken. The children’s parents sai4 they had warned them just last week to stay off the river’s ice. The victims were the children of Mr. and Mrs. Malcom Johnson and Mr. and Mrs. Philip O. Harirington. <bhns«H is ' a fiscally prominent attorney, and Harrington is a ship superintendent for the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corp, in Staten Island, N. Y. Order Egyptians Restrict Imports CAIRO (UP) — The Egyptian Finance Ministry has instructed all government departments to restrict their imports from the Unit- , ed States and West Germany to transactions payable in Egyptian pounds, it was reported today. ~ - The semi-official Middle East news agency, which printed the report, Said also that 23 countries so far have accepted the Egyptian pound instead of dollar or sterling currency as payment in their trade dealings with Egypt.

Theorize Mad Chemist Stew Chicago Girls Post-Mortem Fails ] To Uncover Clue To ' Method Os Slayings I CHICAGO (UP)— Authorities ; said today the slaying of two a teen-aged sisters could have been , the crime of a mad chemist skilled in the workings of unusual j poisons which leave no traces. 1 The new turn in the massive police investigation followed the , failure of a post-mortem examine- . tion to give any clue as to how j the girls were slain. There was j no evidence they had been raped. ( 1 The unclothed and frozen bodies of the victims, Barbara Grimes, 15. and her sister, Patricia, 13, were found Tuesday dumped in a ditch on the city's southwest out- ; skirts. - Dr. Jerry K. Kearns, one of three pathologists who conducted Wednesday’s autopsy, said it may take several days to determine the cause of death. .. .“The murderer in. this case was diabolically clever,” Kearns said. “He used a method which we are unable to detect. Perhaps be JET? rf'mSSl and with a knowledge Or unusual poisons.” ■ The four-hour autopsy showed the girls were not killed by violence, carbon monoxide, suffocation, or any of the usual poisons or drugs, the pathologists said. Meanwhile, police said a man who had been questioned intensively for two days in the case passed a lie detector test Wednesday night and is not considered a “good suspect.” And the FBI joined with thousands of city and county police in the investigation on the basis of a $5,000 ransom note to the girls’ mother, mailed after, the sisters were dead. Donald S. Hostetter, agent in charge of the Chicago FBI, said the note was one of nine extor- ' tion letters received by the dis- , traught mother, Mrs. Loretta ; Grimes. ‘ Eight of the letters, asking 1 SI,OOO from Mrs. Grimes, were <C«atlßaea ob Pare Five) ———————————— Annual Polio Dance In Decatur Jan. 30 I Give All Proceeds To *57 Polio Fund Plans for the annual Polio i Dance in Decatur, which will be 1 held Wednesday, Jan. 30, at 8 I p. m. at the Decatur Youth and | Community Center, were announc- i ed today by Kenneth Shannon, Decatur chairman of the drive. < The dance will feature round 1 and square dancing with Carl 1 Geels and his orchestra providing 1 the calls and the music.

Speculate Egypt , May Stop Salvage Possible Reaction To Israel Refusal UNITED NATIONS (UP)-West-ern observers speculated today on the possibility Egypt would react to Israel’s refusal to give up the Gaza Strip and Aqaba Gulf by halting salvage operations in the Suez Canal. It was recalled Cairo newspapers have voiced warnings Egypt will , stop U.N. clearance of the 101- , mile waterway unless Israeli > forces are withdrawn completely from the territories they seized in the October invasion. : A U.N. resolution gave Israel 1 until Thursday midnight to complete the evacuation.

FullßeriewOf Policy Soughj; By Fulbright Surprise Attack By Arkansas Democrat On Dulles' Policy WASHINGTON (UP)—Secretary • of State John Foster Dulles plead* ed anew today for President Eisen* bower’s Mideast doctrine and ran into an unexpected face-to-face denunciation of his entire foreign policy. J , Sen. J. William Fulbright (DArk), unleashed the surprise attack on Dulles during combined Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committee hearings on the “Eisenhower Doctrine.” Fulbright, second-ranking Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee called for a fun review of the administration’s apparent “failure” in foreign policy before Congress approves the “Eisenhower Doctrine.” With Dulles sitting stonily in the witness chair, Fulbright said approval of the new Mideast policy would constitute a “vote of confidence in administration foreign policy. He said he needs “mors convincing evidence** that , thoss puuCleS BIC in ait V.B. uRcTBVI before he votes to give Mr. Eisenhower authority to use American armed forces, if necessary, to combat any Communist aggression in the Middle East . Involves War Risk Fulbright’s blast came amid these other developments: 1. The House Foreign Affairs Committee met in secret session to vote on the Middle East mili-tary-economic aid resolution. Approval by nightfall with few major changes was predicted. The resolution would authorize the President to use U.S. military forces as he deems necessary to help any Mideast nation seeking American help to resist Communist aggression. It would also let him use 200 million dollars of already appropriated funds and 400 million dollars of new money in the next two fiscal years for Mideast aid. 2. Gen. Alfred M. Gruenther, recently retired commander of Atlantic treaty forces in Europe, said the Eisenhower Doctrine involves risk of major war with Russia. But he said there would be greater danger to world peace if Congress fail sto approve the policy. Portions of his secret testimony before the House committee last Thursday were released . today. 3. Dulles told toe Senate Armed Services-Foreign Relations committees it would be a “great disaster" for toe United States if Congress would not "trust to the President” on toe economic aspect of the Mideast program. Sen. Richard B. Russell (D-Ga), chairman of the armed services group, sharply criticized the request for what he called a 200-mllllon-dollar “blank check.” Fulbright said he regards Dulles’ policies as "harmful to our interests, as being calculated to weaken the influence of the free world in the Middle East, disastrous to the NATO organization and as damaging to our friendship with Great Britain and France.” - ■ , ; Dulles, appearing for toe third time before the combined committees, stared impassively into space ... as Fulbright delivered his indictment. Adm. Arthur W. Radford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sat stony-faced chin-in-hand. Pres and Cons Fulbright said before the committees vote on the Middle East resolution Dulles should present “a thorough, chronological, detailed description of toe course of events in toe Middle East leading up to the crisis which now confronts us.” Sens. Wayne Morse (D-Ore) and ■ Hubert H. Humphrey (D-Minn) immediately backed Fulbright’s proposal. Republicans objected it would delay action on a vital resolution. — f. /.i-.-ii.:.:. . . . s - Sen.
