More Millions Allocated
^ To States Hit by Floods
DENVER, (if)—President Eisen
hower Tuesday allocated an addi
tional %2Vz million for northeast
flood relief and his headquarters
announced plans for a Washing
ton conference today on rehabili
tation of the damaged areas.
The President provided initial
grants of $1 million each for Con
necticut and Massachusetts re
gions, and $500,000 for areas of
New York hit by the floods.
Previous allocations of $1 mil
lion each have gone to Pennsyl
vania, Rhode Island and New Jer
say. It was stressed again that all
six grants are initial allocations,
with more federal money to be
provided later.
Envoys Unable To Break
Deadlock Over Return
Of 41 Held By Chinese
GENEVA, (#) — United States
and Red Chinese envoys met
again today, but apparently failed
to break the deadlock over the
repatriation of 41 Americans de
tained by the Peiping regime.
U. Alexis Johnson, U.S. ambas
sador to Prague, and Wang Ping
Nam, Communist Chinese ambas
sador in Warsaw, met for two
hours and 22 minutes in the Pal
ace of Nations. At the end they
announced only that another
meeting will be held next Tues
day at 9 a.m.
The setting of Tuesday for the
next meeting indicated the talks
may be carried out at an even
slower tempo. Until last week, the
ambassadors had been meeting
three times weekly.
English Mechanic Wins
$177,159 in Football Pool
DAGENHAM, England, WP)—Er
nest Victor King phoned the boss
to say he was quitting the mech
anic’s job he held for 30 years.
Overnight the 56-year-lod Lon
don suburbanite leaped from a
worker with a weekly wage of
9 pounds, 16 shillings, 11 pence
($27.57) to an independently rich
man.
He won 63,271 pounds ($177,159)
in a football pool—the first big
winner of the new soccer season.
That’s a lot of tax-free money in
this heavily taxed country.
King won the big sum by pre
dicting the number of tie games
Saturday. The gamble cost him
six pence (seven cents).
STOP—LOOK—AND LISTEN
'Around that bend, my speeding
friend,
St. Peter waits for you,
Slow down, behave, don’t dig
your grave:
We have other plans for you,
j September Thirteen is the date,
We want you at the polls,
To vote for favorite candidates,
To help them win their goals.

Truman Says GOP Is Using Power
Of Executive Branch to Undermine
Law in the Interest of Big Business
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich., \M
—'Harry S. Truman says the Eis
enhower Administration is using
the power of the executive branch
of the government to “undermine
the* law of the country” in the
interest of big business.” But he
predicted the “people will win
their government back from the
forces of special privilege.”
In a “give ’em hell” speech be
fore 800 Michigan Democrats last
Wednesday night the former Pres
ident accused the administration
of “subverting the laws it is
>-——
sworn to execute faithfully”; and
he charged it pursued “in stealth
and secrecy” a plan to destroy the
Tennessee Valley Authority; and
chided it with failing to balance
the budget.
His speech, the second major
one in three days, climaxed the
three-day meeting of the Michi
gan Democratic conference.
Truman in his latest attack de
scribed the Securitiesand Ex
change Commission as “a prime
example” of regulatory commis
sions packed as never before with
people who came from the ranks
of the industries they are sup
posed to regulate.”
He said GOP appointees to the
National Labor Relations Board
have “reversed a number of set
tled interpretations to the law to
the disadvantage of labor.”
“The secretary of agriculture,”
Truman said, “campaigns against
the programs he is supposed to
administer—“and then uses their
failure to argue that support pric
es ought to be lowered.”
Truman said he thought the rec
ord would show “that this sancti
monious administration is having
its own troubles with corruption.”
Truman made it clear to news
men he has definitely cancelled
two September speaking engage
ments in California. He said he
acted at the urging of his doctor
and the prodding of his wife “who
was afraid something might hap
pen to me.” Truman, who is 71,
said he had no particular prob
lems of health except the tight
schedule which would be “too
rough on the old boy.”

Investigators
To Subpoena
Absent Officials
WASHINGTON, W^-Two Agri
culture Department officials who
played key roles in the Wolf Lad
ejinsky security case failed to ap
pear at a Senate probe yesterday
and Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D-SC)
announced they would be sub
poenaed.
“We want these people so we
can find out why we have such
dillydallying and jumping the
rope with people’s character and
reputations,” Johnston declared.
He heads a Senate Civil Service
subcommittee investigating the
Eisenhower Administration’s per
sonnel security program.
The two officials are Milan D.
Smith, executive assistant to Sec
retary of Agriculture Benson, and
J. Glen Cassity, the department’s
personnel security officer.
Former Sen. Gillette (D-Iowa),
subcommittee counsel, wrote Ben
son Aug. 22 asking that Smith
and Cassity testify at yesterday’s
hearing. The letter also said it
would be “most acceptable” if the
secretary himself wanted to come.
In an Aug. 26 letter which the
subcomdittee said it had not re
ceived but which was read over
the phone to the staff Wednesday,
Benson replied that niether he nor
his two aides would be available
at this time.
The letter made no promises
for the future. It said Benson had
hoped that his previous corres^
pondence with . the subcommittee
would “meet the full requirements
of the public interest in this case.”
The letter added: “If you feel,
however, that the public interest
would be served by further clari
fication of some points of the mat
ter, I shall be happy to wrije you
further in response to specific in
quiries.”
Lade j insky is the government
land reform expert who had full
security clearance when he was
working for the State Department
in Japan. The Agriculture Dept,
declared him a security risk last
December when the job was
transferred to its jurisdiction and
dismissed him. It said at the time
his loyalty was not questioned.
