Major Fighting Ships
Of U.S. 6th Fleet Move
From East Mediterranean
WASHINGTON, UPf—The Navy
announced today that the major
fighting ships of the 6th Fleet are
moving out of the eastern Medi
terranean where they were rushed
during the Jordan crisis last week.
It said they are returning to the
central Mediterranean area to
take part in previously scheduled
NATO naval exercises.
Amphibious elements of the
fleet, including the reinforced
Marine Corps battalion of 1,300
men, will remain in the eastern
Mediterranean with a number of
escorting ships.
The decision to pull the big
ships out of the eastern Mediter
ranean now for the NATO exer
cises plainly indicated an official
feeling here that the situation in
volving Jordan and her neighbors
has eased.

Democrats Start
Meeting to Plan
Fcr 1958 Campaign
WASHINGTON Uf)—Democrats,
feeling rather chipper over recent
state election victories but still

start a three-day meeting today

Nine state governors will take
part along with other state and
national party leaders.
They plan $100-a-pLate fund
raising banquet tomorrow night

the national organization’s $400,

Truman and Adlai Stevenson will
address the dinner, at which over
1,500 paying guests are expected.
New Deluges Bring
Freeh Floods to Texas’
Brazos and Sabine Rivers
(By The Associated Press)
New deluges on the upper Bra
zos River brought fresh floods to
Texas today. Wichita Falls was
getting ready for what could be
its worst flood in seven years.
One downpour dumped 6.25
inches overnight on the Brazos
near Mineral Wells: Dennis, a
town of 270, was warned to evac
uate for the second time in this
year of heavy rains. Red Cross
emergency crews were alerted.
Heavy rain also hit &reas along
the surging Sabine River in the
southeast part of Texas.
Altho streams in most other
areas appeared receding after
more than two weeks of down
pours, the Sabine River threat
ened to flood Deweyville, a town
of 1,000 near Orange. Meanwhile,
upstream on the Sanine, hundreds
of oil wells remained closed by
overflows in the Gladwater area.
Bartlett Chides
Hendrickson for
Failure to Veto
JUNEAU, (#)—Delegate Bartlett
has replied to Acting Gov. Wai’no
Hendrickson in the latest ex
change of letters concerning the
new Alaska Fish and Game Com
mission.
Bartlett says he will not “seek
to prolong this correspondence.”
He says he can’t see “what useful
purpose would be served” by
more letters.
The commission was established
by the controversial Senate Bill
30 of the last Legislature. The bill
became law without Hendrick
son’s signature—but he sent the
lawmakers a long letter objecting
to the measure.
Bartlett wrote Hendrickson ac
cusing him of failure to perform
his executive duty by not veto
ing the bill, if the acting govern
or was as opposed to it as much
as his letter seemed. Hendrickson
replied to Bartlett that there was
precedent for his action.
In Bartlett’s reply to that letter
he said:
“In my first communication to
you I contended that under the
American political system vetoes
are very frequently written even
though there is almost sure
knowledge they will be overrid
den. I submit, once more, that a
chief executive ought not to re
strain himself from entering a
veto on a bill to which he is op
posed, as you were opposed to
Senate Bill Number 30, even if
he knows in advance that no sin
gle legislator will support his
veto.”
