Democratic Party Split?
(Contributed)
CHANCES HAVE BEEN ENHANCED in recent days'
that a major split will occur in the Democratic
Party at some time before the 1960 Presidential elec
tion. The action of the National Committee Chair
man, Paul Butler indicates that there is a group of
liberals in the senior major political party who prefer
a split to a united front. It is the belief of some of
these liberals that the party can win an election with
out the 127 electoral votes in the South.
In the background might also be the jockeying for
position in the Presidential competition. Chairman
Butler is campaigning for Senator John Kennedy.
Majority Leader Lyndon Johnson, considered to be the
moderate in the field( has become a major threat, who
can no longer be easily dismissd. Johnson would
probably carry the South solidly, while the other lead
ing candidates might well experience what Harry
Truman experienced in 1948, and what Adlai Steven
son experienced in 1952 and 1956 — the South about
evenly divided.

Magnuson Would
Allow CGS Search
Outer Ocean Deeps
4By The Associated Press)
A bill Ao permit the Coast and
Geodetic Survey to conduct ocean
ographic research beyond the con
tinental shelf — the 2,000 fathom
line — has been approved by the
Senate Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee, Senator
Warren G. Magnuson (D-Washl
reported Wednesday.
Magnuson, chairman of the
committee, said the bill would
“enable us to know as much about
our offshore waters as the Rus
sians.
“The Russians have charted our
coasts, and I think it is possible
they have information about
them which we don’t have because
of the present limitation,” Magnu
nuson said in a telegram to the
Associated Press at Seattle.
The Coast and Geodetic Survey
presently is limited to operating
within the continental shelf, which
varies from three to 15 miles off
shore.
Magnuson said the bill, which
he sponsored, would allow re
search to determine shifts in the
Japanese current and Gulf Stream
and changes in ocean tempera
tures which affect fisheries mi
grations.
He said research would also be
undertaken to indicate indenta
tions along both the east and west
coasts where enemy submarines
could lurk close to shores and port
cities.
Other facts which could be ob
tained if Congress approves the
bill would be in connection with
phenomena which affect weather
and climate.
The senator said the Coast and
Geodetic Survey would also be
able to perfect charts of the ocean
bottom for the benefit and safety
of commerce and navigation.
The committee also approved
Wednesday a Magnuson-sponsored
bill which would enable the
Coast and Geodetic Survey to
cooperate more closely with the
iU. S. Weather Bureau and to ap
point additional employes for
meteorological investigations in
the Arctic. •
Arctic Health Research
Work Will Be Continued
W7 SHINGTON, UPt — The Pub
lic Health Service has every
intent on of continuing and
streng hen its Arctic Health Re
search Center in Alaska, Secre
tary o. Interior Arthur S. Flem
ming said yesterday.
The Secretary said the center
is the only such facility on this
continent and its work on the
problems of low temperature areas
on human health is a very signi
ficant part of the total research
effort.
“The Arctic Health Research
Center is, in fact, becoming in
creasingly important,” Flemming
said. “With statehood, the devel
opment of exploration and eco
nomic resources will increase in
Alaska, and with the growth of
jet air transportation the area’s
commerce and defense importance
is increased.”

to take the equipment down to
Bluff op a barge.

It’s pretty hard to keep your
temper when you know you’re
wrong.
U. S. Tries Peace
Plans for South
American Nations
SANTIAGO, Chile, UPi — The
United States yesterday proposed
setting up a special peace com
mittee to study the Caribbean
crisis.
Secretary of State Christian A.
Herter told a plenary session of
the inter-American foreign minis
ters’ conference that this commit
tee would report to the 11th con
ference in Quito next February.
It would look into the causes of
the tension that has spread
throughout the area since Fidel
Castro’s forces took over Cuba
January 1.
“This committee might also be
authorized to extend its coopera
tion to any of the states of that
region in the solution of the prob
lems that disturb their peaceful
relations and which they are not
able to resolve through direct ne
gotiation,” Herter said.
He called for a permanent organ
of the organization of American
states such as the Inter-American
Peace Committee to consider prob
lems of that sort that have
plagued the Carribean region be
fore they reach the point of be
coming threats to peace.
Seven Latin American govern
ments at the conference already
have declared they oppose inter
ference by Castro and his Cuban
revolutionaries in the affairs of
other Carribean nations.

Giant Yukon River Dam
WASHINGTON, UP) — Senator
Ernest Gruening expressed satis
faction Wednesday over a step
taken toward possible construc
tion of Rampart Dam.

frees approver public works ap
[ propriations that include $50,000

ty of the proposed dam on the Yu

west of Fairbanks. The bill is
subject to approval by both the
House and Senate.
Gruening and Senator Bartlett
sponsored a resolution asking
$100,000 for the investigation but
Gruening said he was pleased
that at least $50,000 was included
| by the conferees.
The proposed dam would be
2Vz times as big as Grand Coulee
and would produce five million
kilowatts of power annually.
Mr. and Mrs. Leon Farrand of
Hollywood are visitors in town

! Substitute Housing
Measure Offered
In U. S. Senate
WASHINGTON, UPl — The Sen
ate Banking Committee today ap
proved a substitute $1,050,000,000
housing bill with only one major
concession to objections the Ad
ministration had raised against an
earlier version.
The committee acted promptly
to get a new bill to the Senate
floor less than 24 hours after
failure of a Democratic effort to
override President Eisenhower’s
veto of the originl $1,375,000,p00
measure sent to him in June.
However, the full banking group
accepted almost without change
the substitute bill written last
week by its housing subcommittee.
It voted down Republican moves
to knock out of the substitute two
provisions specifically objected to •
by the President Wednesday at his
news conference.
Rejected 8-7 was an effort of
Senator Prescott Bush (R-Conn) to
eliminate the 50-million dollar
loan program for college class
room facilities. Also defeated was
another Bush motion to knock out
a 50-million-dollar program of
direct loans, for housing for the
elderly.
The one concession made was
to put the - classroom program,
which is a new type of activity
not hitherto entered into by the
government, on an appropriation
basis.
As it was approved previously,
this program was to use backdoor
financing to which Eisenhower ob
jects strenuously. Under this
procedure, the funds come directly
from the Treasury without going
through the appropriations
process.
N. W. Senators Fail In
Attempt to Override Ike
WASHINGTON, UP> — Seven
of eight Pacific Northwest and
Alaska senators voted Wednesday
to override President Eisenhower’s
veto of the omnibus housing bill.
The move failed because the 54
40 vote was nine short of the re
quired two-thirds majority.
Senator Henry Dworshak <R- i
Idaho* was the only senator from >
this area upporting the Presi
dent’s veto.
