The President was in Korea just 28 hours but the more than a million Koreans wt» turned Seoul’s streets into a sea of humanity and a blizzard of flags of welcome made to a visit to remember. The Koreans will remember Eisenhower for his pledge to "permit no intrusion upon the borders of free Korea.” This was the eve of the 10th anniversary of the massive Red attack which set off the Korean war and brought the United States and United Nations to the defense of this beleaguered country. ’ "On behalf of the government and the people of the United States I solemnly reaffirm the pledge of full American support to the Republic of Korea in accordance withour commitments under the mutual defense treaty,’ Eisenhower declared.

Begin Testing New Ideas In Defenses

OMAHA 'UPI' — The Stratetic Air Command today began testing ■ new ide* in defense—toe use of roving railroad cars as launching pads for Minuteman missiles If the test succeeds, the new idea might save American taxpayers millions of dollars and make toe nation’s ground - fired missile* virtually invulnerable to surprise enemy attack. The use of railroad cars as launchihg pads would wipe out the need for an around-the-clock SAC air alert, said SAC chief Gen. Thomas S. Power. Power will conduct the tests from Hill Air Force Base. Ogden. Utah. The 13 sailroad chosen for the test ran through Utah. Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho. Montana, Wyoming. Nebraska, lowa,' Missouri. South Dakota. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois. The testa may solve one of SAC’s thorniest problems — the fear that the forces’ retaliatory power could be erased by a quick, well-aimed enemy bombardment.

ThU fear. Power said, prompted the around-thc-ckck air alert The alert will be continued until the mobile Minuteman system i* perfected, he Mid. Perfection of the mobile system will return the 852 Stratofortreaset to ground alert because the roving launching pads, he said, "would present an almost insurmountable targeting problem for a potential enemy.” In actual use. each train could carry one to several missiles The trains would look like any other train, but would move through the countryside on unpredictable, erratic schedules. Lt. GenJtFrancis H. Griswold. SAC vice commander-in - chief, said the mobile Minuteman would "greatly increase our chances of survival." The program is completely safe, Griswold said. “If we thought that undue risk was involved in an operation of this type,” he said, "the idea would have been scrubbed on the drawing boards."

ft_ , ip Senate Votes Tax Extension

WASHINGTON (UPD -TheSenate, fighting to get through a backlog of major legislation in time to quit for the national political conventions, got down to action today on a tax extension bill. By a vote of 54-30, the Senate retained for another year the 10 per cent tax on local phone calls and telegrams: It did so after Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson and GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen threw their support behind the' extension. Final action was expected on al aspects of their bill before the day was over. The action reversed the Senate Finance Committee which proposed repeal of levies on travel, local phone calls and telegrams. The measure would extend for another year federal excise taxes on liquor, automobiles and cigarets and the 52 per cent corporate income tax. , In the House, legislative action came to a halt as the House metonly briefly at noon and then recessed quickly out of respect for Rep. Douglas H. Elliot (R-Pa.), who was found dead Sunday in a state park near his Chambersburg, Pa., home. Other congressional news: •Trade: Chairman Earl W. Kintner of the Federal Trade Commission opposed a bill to legalize exclusive selling jurisdictions for automobile dealers. Farm: A House agriculture subcommittee approved by voice vote a biU that would boost government price supports for dairy products about 5 per cent. The measure is opposed by the administration and it is doubted the bill will be enacted this session. Nuclear: The Senate 'internal security subcommittee postponed a hearing on nuclear test propaganda when Dr. Linus Pauling requested an open session for his testimony.

Democratic Stale Convention Tuesday

INDIANAPOLIS <UPD — T h e| deadline for filing and withdraw-1 ing candidacies for state nominations at the Indiana Democratic j convention passed today with 271 persons seeking 13 spots on the I party ticket, including two gover-1 nor hopefuls waging a down-to-1 the-wire race. There were contests for all ex-1 cept four nominations, and the highlight was the battle between State Sen. Matthew Welsh and State Auditor Albert Steinwedel for governor. Welsh appeared to have a good lead in the last-gasp stages of pre-convention jockeying for delegate strength. The lieutenant - governor race momentarily became a seven-way affair when State Sen. Nelson Grills of Indianapolis, who dropped out of the governor race last week, filed and paid his convention assessment. But shortly afterward. Floyd Harper of Tipton. a late-comer to the contest, withdrew, and it wound up as a six-man battle. - William Moss of Bloomington and Robert Pastrick of East Chicago threw the secretary or state race into the possibility of the convention’s second extra-ballot affair by filing against Hartford City Mayor William C. Smith. Besides lieutenant - governor, secretary of state and an Appellate Court race, none of the other contests can go beyond the first ballot, barring a tie. because no more than two candidates sought each nomination. To be renominated without contest were State Treasurer Jack Haymaker of Logansport and State School Supt. William E. Wilson of Jeffersonville. Also certain or nomination were Warren W. Martin of Boonville and Richard S. O’Connor of New Albany for two seats on the Appellate Court from the Southern District “Sudden death” first ballot decisions were due in the race for governor, for attorney general, for auditor, for a Supreme Court seat and for reporter of the courts. There was a flurry of last-min-ute filing and withdrawing. Mrs. Tillie Schreiner of Lawrenceburg opposed Mrs. Mary Garrett McGill of Indianapolis for courts re'porter O’Connor was a late-com-er in the appellate judge contest, and Patrick Barton of Indianapolis withdrew from the list of appellate judge hopefuls. The contest for the second spot on the state ticket already was the most crowded of all when Grills came into the field to join two fellow senators, a state representative, a mayor, a sheriff and a former county prosecutor. Other late-«noming aetivkyincluded the filing of Patrick Barton of Indianapolis for one of four Appellate Court judge nominations and the withdrawal of Ben Roberts of Lowell from the state treasurer race, leaving Treasurer Jack Haymaker unopposed for renomination.

Democratic delegates came to Indianapolis earlier, than usual because of the fierce contests, both for governor and lieutenant governor. They milled about party headquarters and in the lobbies and rooms of the Claypool Hotel and awaited the noon deadline for the filing or withdrawal of candidates for the various state offices. Noontime was to separate the men from the boys. Entries Improbable There appeared to be little chance of another entrant in the governorship derby from which two party, leaders already have retired in* favor of Steinwedel. They are Secretary of State John R. Walsh, Anderson, and State

I Sen. Nelson GriUs, Indianapolis, I whose boosters have asked him to | make a dramatic eleventh-hour I entrance into the struggle for I lieutenant-governor. I Two other possibilities for governor—Terre Haute Mayor Ral|>h I Tucker and Roger D. Branigin Lafayette attorney, 10 days ago said they would not run. They worked for Steinwedel today. Welsh boosters were cheered by reports that Evansville Mayor Frank McDonald, a fence straddler. had gone to Welsh in exchange for backing for WiHiam H. Miller, Evansville, a candidate for attorney general against John Dillon, Indianapolis * Hie second apot struggle was as spirited as the contest for governor. Leaders seemed to be Indianapolis Mayor Charles Boswell, a Welsh supporter, and State Sen. Earl Utterback. Kokomo. Other hopefuls are Marion County Sheriff Robert O'Neal Indianapolis; State Sen. Paul Bitz. Evansville; State Rep. Jean LaGrange, LaPorte, and Floyd Harper, Tipton, former Tipton County prosecutor. Proclaim Neutrality Both Welsh and Steinwedel have proclaimed neutrality in the races for minor state nominations, but it is significant that many Welsh followers are for the Indianapolis mayor. The gubernatorial melee is further complicated by the fact that ■ Steinwedel has announced backing ’ of Sen. John F. Kennedy, Massachusetts. all the way for President and has charged that Sen. Welsh will defect after the first ballot to : Sen. Stuart Symington, Missouri, I or another candidate. Especially affected by this sac- ■ tor are the Kennedy citadels in Lake, St. Joseph and Dubois counties. Reports circulated that a resolution may come from the convention floor. Hoosier national convention delegates are bound to Kennedy only on the first ballot. These dele gates will be chosen at district caucuses tonight. They will be joined at the convention by ex"officio delegates National Chairman Paul M. Bu’ler, South Bend, and National Committee woman Mrs. Kenneth J? Luckett. English.
