Ike Gives Signal For 1960 Campaign WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Eisenhower is signaling the Republican Party to key its 1960 election campaign to a fight for a balanced budget and against inflation. • This was the battle cry given by the President Monday night to more than 3,000 Republicans who paid SIOO a plate to hear Eisenhower, Vice President Richard M. Nixon and other party leaders at a testimonial dinner for GOP members of Congress. The party expected to net about $300,000 for its two congressional campaign committees. With no pretense of neutrality 13 months before the GOP national convention, Rep. Richard M. Simpson, chairman of the House Campaign Committee, introduced Nixon as Eisenhower's successor to audiences in both the hotel dining rooms where the function was held. The President said Republicans in Congress were showing their skill in the battle for a balanced ■ budget and “a sound dollar." The fight must be won, he said, to : keep the United States strong enough to defend itself and the free world. "As you . . . wage this fight without ceasing, you will demonstrate your worthiness of victory at the polls,” he said. “As the nation comes to recognize this, you will win.” Eisenhower took a backhanded

He said the record ct Congress t in deomestic affairs tliis year > could be described in two sen- , tences. Os the GOP minority, he . said, "Never have sc few done so j much for the country."

Free Flight Success Hailed By Engineers EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (UPI) — Engineers and scientists, heartened by the “100 per cent” successful glide flight of the X-15, forged ahead today in readying the experimental craft for the next step in its assault on the fringes of space. The stub-winged, 50-foot rocket ship is designed to take man up to 100 miles high at speeds beI tween 3,600 and 4,500 miles an hour. The success of Monday's first free flight marked accomplishment of one of the major hurdles the sleek craft must clear before it can carry forward America’s hope of placing a manned rocket ship in space. The next major test will be a powered flight to begin in about two or three weeks. Veteran test pilot Scott Crossfield, 37, was at the controls of the X-15 when it was cut free of its B-52 mother ship at 38.000 feet over the Mojave Desert for a brief 5-minute, 10-second glide back to earth. “Everything is working perfectly,” he cried happily over the radio as. he brought the craft in for a landing. “I wish I could do a barrel-roll on the way in. “We’re really in business now" he said after landing at Rogers Dry Lake runway about 65 miles northeast of Los Angeles. "We know now we can take ’em iup and bring ’em back in one ; piece," said Crossfield. He had manned the x-15 in its four captive flights leading up to Monday’s major test in which the craft was without fuel. The sleek rocket ship fell away from its giant mother ship and glided in a sweeping s-turn at 4 speeds of about 270 miles an hour i before landing. It was a test of the X-15's airworthiness and the next major step is to test its power plant. "It’s a pretty airplane to fly,’ said Crossfield. “We made a routine procedure pattern and the launch was very clean. From then on it was just a matter of getting down. It worked exactly as we planned.” - r. If you hav» something to seß O' rooms fcr rent t"v a Democral Want Ad — They cring results.

Political Leaders Continue To Snipe

WASHINGTON (UPI) — Democrats and Republicans continued to snipe at each other on Capitol Hill today, warming up for next year’s battle at the polls.

Johnson, who accused Republicans of trying to make things look bad for the Democrats. “We are only 153 strong in the House and we are going to try to give a good account of ourselves,” Halleck said. Other congressional news: Labor: Speaker Sam Rayburn held a 40-minute conference with two union leaders on—the subject of labor reform legislation.

Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers, and George Harrison, head of the Railway Clerks Union. Rackets: A staff investigator

Board Must Approve Plans For Ditches The Adams county board of commissioners met in the office of county auditor Edward Jaberg Monday adopting a resolution that all plans for drainage ditches, which are involved with a county highway, must be approved by the board. In the past, bridges over drainage “ditches in many —instances have been weakened when ditch dredging work was done. The cost of repair of these bridges has reached the prohibitive stage, and the resolution is the commission’s answer to the problem. The serious nature of the problem, which became a public safety hazard by the weakening of the understructure and foundation of the bridges, prompted the commission toj take this action. The ditch resolution also stated that the plans submitted must meet good engineering standards,, and shall show pertinent.data on ! existing structures as well as proposed repairs or reconstruction.
