Garrta at the airport, the two leaders drove about 10 miles into downtown Manila through boulevards packed . with cheering humanity. Midtown Manila went slightly hysterical in a joyous welcome of confetti, colored serpentine and clouds of bright balloons that dotted the air over the ancient Malaoanang Palace where the American chief executive is staying. “Mabuhay,” the Tagalog language phrase for “long live, greeted Eisenhower from thousands at signs bobbing over the heads of the tremendous crowd that turned out on a hot. humKi afternoon to greet the first U.S. president ever to visit the Philippine republic. ' A threatened demonstration against Eisenhower by a large labor organization failed to come off. UPI President Frank H. Bartholomew reported in a dispatch from Tokyo that Japanese and American intelligence sources there said danger of any attempted .physical attack on the President when he arrives in the Japanese capital Sunday was steadily diminishing.

Several times as the procesdon moved through the Manila business district. spectators in upper stories of office buildings ernfAicd, cardboard boxes of confetti and then hurled the boxes down at the procession. Two of the boxes narI rowiy missed hitting the presidential ear. Eisenhower stood smiling and waving during most of the 90minute procession, ducking occasionally when rather solid chunks of confetti came close to him. There were times when only his > head and shoulders showed as sc-I curtty men climbed onto the car to fend off well-wishers. Plans Quiet Day The crowd pressed so close tn the vehicle that police feared for the lives of some of the spectators j in the incredible crush that de- • veteped in the streets. The crowd was so dense and" intent on physical contact with the automobiles and their occupants that the procession several times was broken into several parts. | At one point, the car of the j President’s son and daughter-in-law Lt. Col. John Eisenhower and his wife Barbara, were forced tot halt for so king that it was impossible for their vehicle to re-1 gain its place in the parade. President Garcia escorted Pres-I idenrt Eisenhower to an apartment set aside for the visitor in the i home of the Philippine chief executive. It was something like old home week for Eisenhower, since he had used quarters in the Malacanang Palace awhile he was an Army officer here in the 1930 s Because oL,the long and ardtr ous day, Eisenhower planned onlv a private dinner with the John Eisenhowers and a few members of the American’ staff before retiring early to restore iris energy tor a tong and active day Wednesday.

Each CWy Different Each city is different in Its needs for planning. Adams point<d out with the help of a series of charts and blackboards. There are cities with too rapid an industrial development, cities with nothing to offer industry, and cities with a good balance. Even the latter types must plan ahead. “There are many types of problems to be faced when plana for a citv's future are considered." he mentioned in hts rapid-fire discourse —social, political, physical, economic, apathy and indifference, lack of cooperation between business. citizens, and government of city, and many others. “The end result of planning is to provide a good place to work, live and play, all in balance. “City planning takes into consideration the people, industry, community services, and land to provide the necessary services — streets, water, sewers, police, fire, schools, playgrounds, parks and shopping areas. AH Evaluated “All of the above are first evaluated as to their present status, and the development planning is based on what we want these services to be in the future “Hie tools used to carry out this development plan are: zoning, subdivision controls, and the use of money through the city and school budgets. “City politicians, businessmen, and citizens must all work together to accomplish the purposes of all the planning,” he concluded.

Flash Flood Sends 200 From Homes BORDEN, Ind. (UPD- Nearly half the 450 residents of this Clark County town tried to dry out their watersoaked homes today in the wake of a flash flood which inundated more than 50 houses and forced 200 persons to flee Monday night. The flood came as Muddy Fork Creek burst over its banks during a heavy downpour and water rose to a height of up to four feet in some of the town's residences. Marshal Cleo Callam said at least a dozen homes were badly damaged and at least 40 other houses were flooded. The water receded nearly as rapidly as it rose. It left furniture ruined or damaged and a coating of mud on floors. Nobody was hurt and most of the residents evacuated were isolated by the flood waters for only a short time. A gasoline service station was out of business temporarily. Callam said, because water seeped into underground tanks of motor fuel. . Some residents had to borrow water from their neighbors and the town school because wells were fouled by the flood water. Borden is a town of 450 persons about 20 miles northwest of Jeffersonville. A number of other homes around nearby Henryville also were damaged by overflowing creeks and drainage ditches following a sudden heavy downpour of rain which turned normally sluggish streams into raging torrents of water. State Police at Charlestown said they dispatched two rescue boats and three highway units to Borden to assist in the evacuation, and residents of the area helped with their own boats and rafts to take personal belongings and stranded residents to high ground The flood also blocked highways and county roads in the area for several hours,, including U. S. 31 and Ind. 60.

Kennedy backed the current U.S. stand against recognizing Red China or admitting the Peiping regime to the United Nations. But he suggested bringing the Chinese Communists into the Geneva test ban talks as a test of their good behavior. In his other proposals, he called for stronger U.S defenses, greater efforts to help underdeveloped and newly ind«%>endenl nations, attempts to "wean" restive satellite countries from Russia, and more flexible approaches to the Berlin and Middle East problems. Kennedy told the Senate there was "no point in returning to the summit” until the United States developed ‘'carefully prepared, long-term policies designed to increase the strength of the nonCommunist world.” in lieu of Eisenhower's “good intentions and pious principles.” Kennedy, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, placed major blame on Khrushchev for wrecking the summit conference but also sharply criticized Eisenhower for his role in the Paris developments. “No president of the United States must ever again be put in the position of travelling across the seas, armed only with vague, speculative hopes, in order to provide an occasion for public humiliation,” Kennedy said. Alms at Nixon He said the “tack of a coherent and purposeful and national strategy based on strength,” which he found after the collapse of the summit conference, “is an issue worthy of great debate.” Without specifically naming Nixon. who is regarded as almost sure of the Republican presidential nomination, Kennedy clearly took aim on the vice president when he said: “That debate must not be stifled or degraded by empty appeals to national unity, false cries of appeasement or deceptive slogans about ’standing up to Khrush-

300,000 Spies In World For Russia

WASHINGTON (UPD—The Soviet Union, Red China and their Communist allies have a trained elite corps of at least 300.000 espionage and security agents operating throughout the world, the State Department advised a blueribbon Senate committee Monday. The department sent a blueprint of Red espionage to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee ■Which held hearjings on the explosive U.S. U-2 spy plane incident. “There has never been a government in history which-—has placed heavier emphasis on espionage." the report said of the Soviet Union. The report said that in addition to regular Soviet spy agents, the Communist cause is abetted “by members of foreign Communist parties, numbering some 4.000.000 adherents in the free world." “It is plain that the Soviet Union has a vast head start in the acquisition of what might be described as intelligence data regarding the United States and the free world,” the department document said. It was sent to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by Secretary of State Christian A. Herter. Chairman J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) made it public in connection with the committee’s inquiry into the U-2 spy . plane in- , cident and the summit collapse. “There can be no doubt as to the scope and scale of the Soviet espionage effort directed against the free world as a whole,” the report said. “It has been reliably estimated that within the Communist bloc and the free world some 300,000

C. Luncheon Mayor Donald F. G»fe spoke at , the noon luncheon of the industrial . division of the Dcxratur Chamber of Commerce Monday, concerning the fire insurance problem of the city of Decatur. After Lowell Harper, presiding at the meeting for Mike Pryor, introduced the mayor. Gage pro--1 ceeded to explain the situation in Decatur on fire insurance. He listed some of the ten •‘suggestions'’ made by the Indiana rating bureau that must be done if Decatur is to remain a sixth class city in fire insurance. Some of the suggestions were the buying of a 1.000 gallon fire truck, the hiring of three or four more firemen, increase the firemen’s working hours, build either a one-million gallon water tank or two 500.000gallon tanks, complete a circular water system around the city in two years, and others. Mayor Gage then state that this looked very expensive and he wasn't sure if the city could as--1 ford to take such action. He also , explained that the city officials didn't have to follow the sugges- . tions. but if they didn't. Decatur ’ would be dropped to a seventh class rating in insurance. The dis- - ference between a sixth class and seventh class rating is four cents on every SIOO of fire insurance. Det catur people now pay 18 cents per - SIOO of fire insurance, but if the 1 changes aren't made people will s be paying 22 cents for every SIOO. : He estimated that the citizens of Decatur have $20,000,000 in in- - surance on their homes and anoth--1 er $10,000,000 on the home’s con- ' tents. A four-cent per SIOO valua- ' tion raise would cost *■ $12,000 more each year; Gage told the Chamber men that he hadn't had any figures on what * the cost of these “suggestions” would be, but that the estimates ’ were high, especially on the water tanks.
