GOP Administration
Of Appeasing Peron

tration of appeasing-' the Peron
regime in Argentina, and linked
"a member of the President’s
personal family” with the alleged
appeasement.
Stevenson did not name the
family member but a campaign
aide said he referred to Dr. Milton
Eisenhower, youngest brother of
the President..
Stevenson said the administra
tion “chose to appease” Peron,
the Argentine dictator now de
posed by a revolution. He added
"a member of the President's per
sonal family assumed special, if
informal, responsibility for our
relationships with Argentina.”

U.S. Is Growing
As Much Lumber
As It Guts Down
SEATTLE, UP>—For the first
time in history the United States
is growing each year as much
lumber as it cuts, the president of
the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co.
said yesterday.
J. P. Weyerhaeuser, speaking
before the annual convention of
the American Institute of Ac
countants, painted a dull picture
for the immediate future of the
timber industries but said the
long-range outlook was bright.
Weyerhaeuser said the bottom
dropped out of the plywood mar
ket early this year and profit
margins have all but disappeared.
He said, however, the “prospects
for long-term market growth are
excellent.”
As for an increasing capacity
for production of pulp, paper,
plywood, hardboard and insula
tion board, Weyerhaeuser said,
“growth of markets promises to
justify these expansions sometime
in the future." The key question,
of course, is how soon will they
be justified.”

Eisenhower Hits
Democrats Hard
In Farm Speech
By the Associated Press
President Eisenhower loosed his
most sharply worded campaign
attack to date last night, accusing
Democrats of “politicking at the
farmers’ expense” and of handing
farmers a program of “mockery
and deceit.”
Eisenhower spoke last night in
Peoria, 111., presenting the Repub
lican side of the farm controversy
in a nationally broadcast and tele
vised speech.
Eisenhower told the nation’s
farmers his administration will
give them “a full share in our
country’s good times.” He said
farmers now face “brighter peace
time prospects than they have
had for years.”
He made no new proposals to
increase farm income but said
“good progress” is being made
toward that goal with present
programs and planned expan
sions.
Ridiculing Democratic criticisms
of his farm policy, Eisenhower
said at one point “our opponents
today are criticizing the mess that
they themselves left behind.”
Dulles Predicts Egypt Wont "Get
Away With’ Lone Operation of Canal
WASHINGTON, UP>—Secretary
of State Dulles predicted today
Egypt will not be able to “get
away with" single handed opera
tion of the Suez Canal. He ap
pealed to disputing nations for
“patience and resourcefulness” in
dealing with the canal crisis.
Dulles was asked at a news
conference whether he thought
there would be Arab efforts to
nationalize the great Middle East
oil fields “if Egypt gets away
with” its seizure of the canal.
He replied he did not accept
the possibility that Egypt was
going to get away with it.
Dulles then said that thru such
things as the loss of tourist rev
enue and trade, due to declining
faith in this way of doing busi
ness, Egypt would come to recog
nize it would have to work out a
different solution for the canal.
He said he did not see any pros
pect of Egypt’s making a success
out of the path it is now traveling.
The appeal Tor patience ana
tolerance” came in a formal state
ment with which Dulles opened
his news conference—the first he
has held since he attended an 18
nation conference that agreed at
London last week to from a Suez
Canal Users Association.
He made these specific points
about the canal dispute:
1. He personally expects to at
tend the United Nation? Security
Council debate on the crisis in
New York next week. He assumes
other interested foreign ministers
will be present.
2. He reaffirmed his intention
to have U.S. government regula
tions tightened so that shifts un
der the American flag can no
longer pay Suez Canal tolls di
rectly to Egypt.
Dulles said they could pay such
tolls to the Users Assn., which in
turn would pay Egypt for canal
services.
man, the Arab kingdom’s capital, i
declared about 100 of the Israelis
were killed and the rest forced to
retreat in disorder after blowing
up a police post and some houses.
By their account, 31 Jordanian
soldiers, policemen and national
guardsmen lost their lives as the
fighting raged thru attack and
counterattack.
Jordan said the Israeli attack
was made in Brigade strength,
meaning perhaps 2,000 or more
infantrymen took part in the raid
2V4 miles inside the armistice de
marcation line. Jordanians had
estimated Israeli strength in each
of the two previous attacks this
month at 1,000 men.
Israeli Attack a Warning
Israel’s government grimly la
beled the raid as a warning
against aggression, “an effort to
bring home to Jordan authorities
their own interests in putting an
end to attacks against Israeli citi
zens and Israel territory.” Six
Israeli’s had been killed in border
incidents since Sunday.
The Israeli army said a Jordan
army post as well as the police
station was overrun and dyna
mited. Explosions from the bat
tlefield were heard in Jerusalem
thru the night.
Jordan army headquarters told
of finding bodies of 10 Israelis,
including one captain, near Hu
san and boosted its estimate of

KANSAS CITY, Kansas, W»—
The girls at Ward High School
have agreed not to wear crino
lines under their skirts.
School authorities asked them

the Israeli death toll to about 100.
British Diplomats Stirred
Israel’s reprisal policy stirred
diplomatic attention in Britain,
which has been preoccupied with
the Suez crisis, and in Syria,
linked with Jordan in an alliance
to combat what the Arabs call
Israeli aggression.
The British Foreign Office ex
pressed sympathy for Israel over
what it called the irresponsible •
shooting from the Jordan side
that killed four members of an
archeological party at Jerusalem
Sunday, then denounced the Is
raeli raid.
Cabinets in Emergency Session
Syria’s Cabinet met in emer
gency session in Damascus to dis
cuss “necessary measures” in the
Jordanian-Israeli situation.
Jordan’s Cabinet also met in
emergency session. Later, King
Hussein, the 20-year-old monarch,
received diplomats of the other
Arab nations in an audience at his
palace in Amman.
In New York, U.N. Secretary
Dag Hammarskjold separately
called in representatives of Jor
dan, Israel, and the big four pow
ers—the U.S., Britain, France and
Russia—for urgent talks on the
military activity.
Last week he dispatched a
warning to both Israel and Jordan
against further outbreaks. He
urged both governments to live
up to the cease-fire agreement in
their 1949 armistice, renewed to
him personally when he visited
the area last spring by order of
the U.N. Security Council.
Marshall Gives Up
Try to Extradite
Audrey Cutting
ANCHORAGE, l/D—It looks as
if Deputy Marshall Gene King is
the only one who will get any
thing out of efforts to extradite
Mrs. Audrey Cutting from Color
ado to face an embezzlement
charge here.
He got a trip to Denver and
back plus nearly a week to just
wait while the court in Denver
made up its mind what to do with
her. It seems the former Anchor
age real estate agent persisted in
denying she was the Audrey Cut
ting.
The denial meant someone had
to be sent to make identification.
King, of Homer, was sent to Den
ver for the hearing on this which
originally was set for Sept. 14,
then Sept. 21 and subsequently to
Sept. 24.
Monday, the hearing was post
poned again—until Oct. 5. But
meanwhile, Colorado officials an
nounced the identity had been es
tablished and the state court
judge will hand down a decision
on the October date.
Marshal Fred Williamson said
he coudn’t wait that long—and
neither could King. He ordered
King home and said:
“Colorado can have Audrey
Cutting. I wash my hands of the
whole affair.”
