Attempt Is Urged To Override Veto

WASHINGTON (UPD — Democratic backers of a 251 million dollar profram to help economically distressed areas urged, congrcuional leaden today to dramitize administration opposition by making an attempt to override President Eisenhower s veto. In the Senate, where any override move would originate, Democratic leaders were said to be receptive to the idea, which could bring political dividends to the party in th November elections, although such an action was seemingly fruitless. • Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.). a presidential hopeful, said, however, that no decision had been made on whether to try to overthrow the veto. _ . Eisenhower vetoed the program of grants and loans Friday. He accused Congress of trying to • squander the federal taxpayers money.’’ He urged Congress to approve a bill more along the lines of his 53 million dollar propool' The President said local, state and private initiative to meet chnmic unemployment would be materially discouraged by excessive federal participation. An attempt to override the veto had little or no chance of success to the Senate. The UU was approved 45 to 32. far abort of the two-thirds margin needed to upset Eisenhower’s rejection. The House vote also fell short of the two-thirds margin But some Democrats saw in even an unsuccessful attempt to override the veto a chance to score some political points. They felt the vote would underline the administration’s opposition to the aid program for areas of chronic unemployment and thereby help Democrats in November. The bill has strong supnort in economically depressed areas of West Virginia. Kentucky. Pennsylvania and other states.

County Is Fourth In District Population Preliminary census reports of si of the eight counties in the six of the eight counties in the already available, and reports from Steuben and Allen counties will be made public as soon as they are tabulated, John W.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT

Senate Democrats Back Ike At Talks WASHINGTON <UPI> — Senate Democrats, putting politics aside for the moment, today stood solidly behind President Eisenhower to his summit talks with Soviet Premier Nikta Khrushchev. But some Democrats, while pledging their support, indicated they would add the incident of the American U-2 spy plane downed inside Russia to the list of issues in the election campaign. Senate Democratc Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) declared Friday. "We cannot permit our country to be divided either by the dever ruse made by Nikita Khrushchev of the U-2 incident or by the internal hatreds of race, creed, color, sections, or personality .” t . Assistant Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield (Mont), said there would be time later to explore “relentlessly” the grave questions “which the events of the past week have raised in this nation.” However, Mansfield said “anger, consternation or even revulsion at the events of the past week" did not alter the fact that “Mr. Eisenhower will speak at the summit on behalf of all of us — Democrats and Republicans alike.

West German Agent Trapped Russ Spies BERN, Switzerland (UPD — A Swiss newspaper said today that a West German double agent was responsible tor trapping two Soviet embassy officials in the act of espionage. Switzerland and the Soviet Union exchanged protest notes on the incident Friday. The Swiss spy case, which came shortly after the Soviets denounced the American U-2 flight and denied Russia engaged in espionage, brought charges of hypocrisy from all parts of Europe. West Germany announced that 264 Soviet spies were caught there in 1959 alone. The year before, 204 were caught. The Zurich newspaper Blick, which has had reliable reports on the spy case since it broke four days ago, said that Soviet embassy secretaries Borislov Modin and Ives Frolov were lured into a police trap by an unidentified West German. The Russians believed the man was a Communist agent and arranged to meet him, wearing flowers in their lapels as identification, in the belief he had military plans, the paper said. But instead of getting plans to the Swiss military radar system and West Germany rocket bases that he had promised them, the Russians “walked into the open arms of the Zurich police,” the paper said. Hie Swiss government ordered that the entire spy case be kept secret after expelling the two diplomats Friday and sending a protest note. But Zurich police apparently were leaking some information to the press. - - ■ - NOON EDITION

PARIS iUPIi-A smiling Nikita I Khrushchev arrived today in | Paris with ’’hopes’’ the *ummit| conference would make progress, — and only an indirect sideswipe, at the United States ’*! hope the conference will make progress on the most urgent problems of the day.” the Soviet premier declared after landing at I Orly Airport in a white - painted! 11.18 turixiprop transport. He listed the "urgent” problems as Germany. Berlin, dis-i armament and East-West rela-1 tions And in the closest approach to [ a crack at the United States he. charged that "Influential circles in some countries” are trying to rekindle the cold war. For the past week he has made those ■targes against Washington. Hits “Influential Circles” “Although it is incontestable that J all people in all countries desire peace and relaxation of international tension, it cannot be disputed that in some countries influential circles who are interested in rekindling the cold war and in spoiling the international climate have increased their activities." Khrushchev said. “it is to be hoped that these circles will fail in their wishes.” He did not mention the United States by name nor refer directly to the recent U 2 spy plane incident but many listeners interpreted this remark as an indirect reference to it. First Big Four Arrival Khrushchev was the first of the Big Four summit leaders to arrive. West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, who will not take part in the East-West talks, flew in an hour before for a presummit meeting with Western government heads Sunday. British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd landed here a few moments after. Herter, who arrived Friday, conferred meanwhile at the Quai d’Orsay, the French foreign office, with Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville. Some diplomats felt the Soviet premier might wait until he talks to French President Charles de Gauile Sunday before attempting to set the mood for the Big Four talks. No Overtures to Ike US. officials said the Russian leader had made no overtures for a pre-summit meeting with President Eisenhower here. Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan arrive Sunday.

He kissed the schoolgirl and his wife, Nina, goodbye and his jet left the ground at 2 am. e.d.t. Khrushchev assembled a 100member entourage to make the summit trip with him.

Castro said the submarine was marked “C4TI.” _ In Washington, a Defense Department spokesman said Castro “apparently is referring to the submarine Sea Poacher, SS4-6, which reported it met a Cuban patrol vessel in international waters between Cuba and Key West, Fla., last week. “The Sea Poacher reported what appeared to be flares were fired during the meeting.” the defense spokesman saidA US. Navy spokesman in Washington refused earlier to confirm or deny that a U.S. submarine had been fii(ed on—and the defense source declined to refer to the incident as anything but a "meeting.” In any case, the spokesman agreed Castro’s reference to the identification markings as "CrTl” would not apply to an American vessel, which would be marked with three numerals, such as 406 in the case of the Sea Poacher.
