Senator Would
Discourage Trade
With Russia
WASHINGTON, Sen. Jack
I son (D-Wash) said today Congress
may try to discourage western
trade with Russia by writing some
“mandatory controls” into foreign
aid legislation.
The Eisenhower Administration
is asking Congress to authorize
approximately $5 billion to con
tinue the foreign aid program in
the bookkeeping year starting on
July 1.
I Jackson serves on the Senate
: Investigations subcommittee that
! is exploring this country’s role in
the 1954 easing of curbs on East
West trade.
Chairman McClellan <D-Ark> an
nounced the subcommittee will
invite Secretary of State Dulles to
appear before it in a further ef
fort to get details and documents
relating to the relaxed controls.
The Eisenhower Administration
so far has refused to disclose this
information publicly. Dulles, now'
in the Far East, is not expected
back until late in the month.
Harold E. Stassen, President
Eisenhower’s special assistant on
disarmament problems, testified
Friday it would “serve the enemy”
to disclose publicly the scope of
the Western allies’ agreement to
relax controls. Stassen was for
eign aid chief at the time. He di
rected the U.S. negotiating team.
Secretary of Commerce Weeks al
so declined to give such informa
tion publicly.
Hikers Clad in Armor of Year 1066
Prove Disputed Point in History
CIRENCESTER, England, —
Six volunteer history-testers last
night staggered in with the rea
son King Harold lost the battle of
Hastings: his men were too
darned footsore to fight.
The volunteers wore helmets
and 40 pounds of chain mail ar
mor, and carried shields, battle
axes and spears. Their grind cov
ered 20 miles of grass-grown, rut
ted Fosse Way, the old Roman
road between Bath and Ciren
cester. They finished as weary
men.
It was a test run to see whether
history could be right in saying
Saxon King Harold’s forces in
1066 marched 200 miles from
Stamford Bridge to Hastings in
10 days. Some modern expei'ts
claim this was impossible without
horses.
Asked whether he could have
kept it up for another nine days,
one volunteer, nursing a blistered
foot, crisply told a reporter:
“I could have kept up the walk
ing, all right, but I wouldn’t have
been tit to fight any bloody battle
with William the Conqueror when
I got there.”
The volunteers, all members of
the Surrey Walking Club, were
enlisted by the British Broadcast
ing Corp. The BBC plans to stage
a Battle of Hastings television
program on June 5, and wanted to
make sure history isn’t being ri
diculous about Harold’s famous
march.
At one stage of the trip a hiker
accidentally pinked one of the
men, a former army sergeant,
with a spear.
His command of short Saxon
words appropriate to this incident
would have done Harold proud,
his admiring mates said later.
Insurance
Business Has
I Gone to the Dogs
KANSAS CITY, —'The insur
ance business has gone to the dogs
here, and if that works, one day it
may to go the cats, too.
Two Kansas citizens, Richard
R. Nelson and Gordon J. Reabe,
are offering policies covering hos
pital expenses for pooches who
fall ill, are wounded in brawls,
or come too close to a car.
Nelson said a similar project
may be worked out for cats if the
dog insurance goes according to
plan.
Since there are no risk tables
for hounds, insurance men Nelson
and Reabe spent several months
plodding doggedly thru records of
five local veterinarians covering
10,000 pets before setting their
premiums.
The insurance isn’t intended for
just pedigreed animals, but for
plain dogs as well. “We’ve set the
premium low enough—SI 5 a year
—for any owner to be interested,”
Nelson said.
The plan provides for such ex
penses as hospitalization, surgery,
X rays, laboratory fees, and drugs
required in treating a dog’s illness
or accident.

Henry Ford II Admits
He Asked Dealers for
GOP Campaign Funds
WASHINGTON, UP—Henry Ford
II testified today he personally
approved solicitation of Ford
dealers for campaign funds on be
half of President Eisenhower in
1952.
He denied, however, there were
any “reprisals or recriminations”
against dealers who failed to con
tribute.
Ford’s testimony to a Senate
Commerce subcommittee touched
off a spirited exchange between
Chairman Monroney <D-Okla> and
two Republican senators, Potter
'Mich* and Paine (Maine*.
'Indirect Coercion'
Monroney declared it could be
construed as “indirect coercion”
to solicit funds in such a fashion
when dealers were dependent on
a supply of cars, relatively scarce
in 1952, for their livelihood.
Potter and Paine asserted, on
the contrary, there was no evi
dence of any coercion against any
Ford dealer.
Monroney said he could pro
duce “a number of witnesses” who
have reported they were subject
to “indirect coercion” in the fund
solicitation.
Dealer Is on a Cruise
The senator said he particularly
wants to question one Chicago
dealer, whom he declined to name.
He said this dealer left on a cruise
as soon as the “pressure” question
was raised in the subcommittee’s
auto marketing hearings several
weeks ago. He said all efforts to
locate the man have failed.
The dealer is one identified by
a previous witness as having
asked him to give $1,000 to the
Eisenhower campaign.
