MISSILES. DEFENSE TO BE TWO TOP ISSUES FOR

LAWMAKERS

WASHINGTON (UPi — Con- f gress headed back to work today | with one wary eye on domestic i economic troubles while it prepared to tackle more pressing problems involving missiles and

national defense.

The gavels will bang at noon Tuesday in the House and Senate to signal the start of the 1958 session. The atmosphere will contrast like black against white from the economy mood of the ! session which adjourned four months ago because the Soviet Union has since launched two

Sputniks.

Now the mood is for a bigger budget, particularly to provide more money for missile develop-

ment.

Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson told reporters it was “important to realize the necessity of maintaining a prosperious economy” to support the defense program. While pointing to defense and foreign policy as the chief problems facing Congress, he said gains made by the American people should not be destroyed “in the name of mis-

siles.”

Johnson said he expects Congress to pass legislation this year dealing with small business, farm, housing and other economic problems. Many returning members have shown some restiveness over the economic outlook because farmers still seem to be in trouble and there is rising unemployment in the cities. The administration and Republic line is that a business pick-

der.standing and harmony among various community groups,” David Bair, the Chamber's Executive Secretary, said today. “Under Community Public Relations, the second part of our seven-point program, we are seeking to bring together those of different vocations and interests who can profit by first hand knowledge of their neighbor’s problems. Misunderstanding and lack of information are often our greatest sources pf friction. “During the year the Chamber will revive the Farmer-Business-man Exchange program w’hich was very successful severalyears ago. In this exchange, the man in the country and his neighbor in town will receive “on-the-job” experience W’hich will be helpful to both. “Business-Industry-Education day is observed in many cities and has proven most worthwhile. Such a day has been planned for Greencastle and a committee from the Chamber of Commerce has been appointed to set a date ind woik out details of this pro-

“For a number of years, the Chamber of Commerce has serv°d as a w'elccming committee for incoming DePauw freshmen and their parents.

In addition the Chamber will cooperate with the university in DePauw Open House in March. Tomorrow evening. lepesentalives of food merchants ind fraternity houses will meet to discuss problems related to local buying.” Steps being taken to interest now industry in coming to Greencastle will be discussed by the secretary in tomorrow’s issue of The Daily Banner.

sues which affect the voters’ pocketbook. Because the once powerful farm bloc has split into pieces there is still some doubt about passage of a general farm bill. On other economic issues, some Democrats want to wait and watch—to see if increased military spending and gathering momentum in the high-way program will gove the economy a shot in the arm.

Ike Returns To A Heavy Schedule WASHINGTON - President

Eisenhower returns to the eapi‘al today to launch a work week

made extra heavy by the re

sumption of Congress. He scheduled un immediate top-level ses-

sion on how to answer the latest

Soviet bids for East-West peace

talks.

The President was expected to take this matter up when he called the National Secuiity

Council into meeting.

Two cabinet members Secre'ary of Siate John Foster Dulles and disarmament adviser Harold E. Stassen—do not see eye to eye on how to answer the Russian proposals. They may air their views at the meeting. Stassen has proposed “liberalzing” U. S. disarmament policy. It has been reported he is urging t that this nation stop insisting that a halt in atomic bomb output be included in any two-yeai

ban on nuclear testing.

Dulles and Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Lewis E. Strauss are reported to be opposed to any such policy change. The Chief Executive, who came back from Gettysburg oy auto in freezing temperatures, also was expected to take up with the council the military aspects of his State of the Union message. He will deliver the message to a joint session of Con-

gress on Thursday.

Before he loft for a Weekend a* he farm the President took with urn a tentative draft by Dulles >f a "positive” reply to Soviet Premier Niklai Bulganin’s reguest for a new summit meeting ind an end to atomic weapons csting. He has been working on he diaft reply since then. The reply to Bulganin's barrage of peace proposals is expected to be put into final form and sent to Paris for coordination with other members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza tion NATO council, which meetr

Wednesday.

Officials declined to give ar - .'

Boesen Heads Commissioners

A Sunday morning fire badly damaged the interior of the Albert Solomon home, located on old U. S. 36 just east of Barnbridge but fortunately no one was injured. The fire, believed caused by an overheated furnace, was first noticed by Mrs. Solomon about 8 o’clock. Firemen from the Bainbridge and Hoachdale 'departments had a hard time getting the blaze under control in the 8-room frame dwelling. The living room, dining room and a bedroom on the first floor were gutted by the fire. The kitchen and bathroom, at the rear of the home, escaped any serious damage. After firing up the furnace. Mr. Solomon had gone to the barn to do his chores and it was somewhat later when Mrs. Solomon became aware of the blaze. Damage was estimated at severaj thousand dollars.

LONDON — Britain backed down today on Prime Minister Harold Macmillan’s plan for an East-West non-aggression pact in face of strong opposition from

its Allies.

The chief spokesman of the Foreign Office told newsmen that the pact suggested Saturday by Macmillan could only be part of a “package deal” including agreements on "concrete issues

such as disarmament.”

In his radio address Saturday, the prime minister suggested at the time that "we could start by a solemn pact of non-aggres-sion,” as proposed by Soviet Filmier Bulganin in a letter to

Macmillan last month.

The Macmillan plan ran into immediate heavy weather. It was a sharp turnabout on past Western policy and observers ;aid it could cause a serious split between Britain and the United State®. Washington apparently told London so during the weekend. The European Allies, too, w-ere concerned because Macmillan spoke without consultation. After two special cabinet stsj sions Sunday night, Macmillan authorized an official “commentary” on his speech which the Foreign Office released today. “This passage in the prime minister’s speech should be read as a whole,” the commentary

said.

“It is the relationship between words and deeds which he was seeking to bring out. “What he was really saying was that we must continue to

r-1

.. ! work f ir agreement which would be foil .wed by deeds, the fulfillment c f which will be proved by

actions taken.

“If it would assist in arrivirg at such agreements to have a oon-aagfessiop pact, then Her Majesty’s government would feel* that such a pact, to complemtnf' Uu» agreements, might do

some good.”

Thus the door was still left open -or a non-aggression pact as the first step toward a new East-vVest accord. But the Foreign Office .spokesman went on to underline that Macmillan’s suggestion was “for a package deal including a nonaggression pact together with agreements on concrete issues such as disarmament.” He emphasized that "nothing basically new” was intended in the Macmillan speech. One London newspaper report'd the bid had split the British abinet, but informed source.; liscoun’cd the report.
