prospects unjustified toy world1
realities."
As an instance of what he
■called concealment and twisting
of facts, Eisenhower said, “We
(find a whole series of curious
statements falsely implying that
this administration cares nothing
for the man they rather patroniz
ingly call ‘little fellow'.”
”... This amounts to the
charge your government has be
trayed your trust,” Eisenhower
continued. “Such talk is political
irresponsibility at its worst.”
Eiseshower also said the cost of
living “has risen less than three
percent under this administra
tion” and “almost 50 percent”
during the preceding Truman Ad
ministration.

I damaged or destroyed aircraft, an
| increase of nearly 20 percent over
1954, the Pentagon reported. The
difference was attributed largely
to the higher cost of new aircraft.
The report noted thart the age
of airmen has a lot to do with the
rate of airplane accidents. A chart
showed that pilots 24 years or
under have an accident rate near
ly five times that of flyers 40 and
older.
The report noted a downward
trend in the accident rate for

Stevenson Opens
Campaign Swing
In Western States
(By the Associated Prfss>
Adlai E. Stevenson opened a
western campaign swing yester
day with a charge that the Eisen
hower Administration has permit
ted public lands to “be invaded
by and given away to selfish pri
vate interests.”
The Democratic presidential
nominee’s opening blast came in
a speech prepared for delivery in
Great Falls, Mont. This was his
first stop in a flying, four-day
tour of Montana, Idaho, Washing
ton, Oregon and California. The
five states own a total of 55 elec
toral votes—all of which went to
Eisenhower in 1952.
Stevenson said the administra
tion has “scrapped” a long-stand
ing policy in which he said both
parties cooperated in conserving
the nation’s parks and forests.
From his Libertyville, 111., farm
home Monday, Stevenson released
the third in a series of “major
affirmations” he would support
If elected President. The latest
one called for a federally aided
health program. Goals included:
A health insurance program for
all, regardless of ability to pay;
more funds for medical research;
a speeded up medical training
program; and construction of
more hospitals.
Stevenson said his proposals
are not “socialized medicine," and
administration of the program
“would rest with the states.” The
principle is that no American
should be deprived of good medi
cal care for lack of funds, he said,
but those who can pay all or part
of the expense should do so.
Margaret Sullavan Fails
To Show Up for Star
Role in TV Production
NEW YORK, UH—'The show did
1 not go on Monday night for husky
voiced actress Margaret Sullavan.
The 45-year-old stage and
screen veteran failed to show up
for the starring role in CBS-TV
‘'Studio One” drama.
Her husband later said she was
ill and in a hospital. “And I would
prefer not to say where she is,”
The cast of the hour-long pro
gram stood by until the last min
ute, hoping the star would come.
Miss Sullavan was to have
played the lead in a story of sister
Aquinas, a Roman Catholic nun
and educator.
CBS replaced the scheduled
show with a film of a previous
Studio One drama.
Miss Sullavan has not been too
enthusiastic about television. In a
recent interview she remarked:
“I don’t like television much 1
think it would be a good idea if
there were only about two hours
of television a day.”

Dulles Says There’s Little Chance
Of Settling Suez Problem While
Canal Can Be Used for National Policy
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y., VT>— *
Secretary of State pulles said
yesterday there is little chance of
settling the Suez problem so long
as it is possible for any nation to
use the vital waterway as an in
strument of its national policy.
Dulles told the U.N. Security
Council this is the heart of ’he
problem and the first step should
be set up to ensure against any
such action.
He did not flatly reject a pro
posal made by Egypt Monday for
the establishment of a U.N. nego
tiating body to work out a system
of cooperation for the operation
of the canal. Dulles called Egypt’s
move “constructive.” but he indi
cated it did not go far enough.
Soviet Foreign Minister Dmitri
Shepilov quickly made it clear
that he would not accept Dulles’
statement that the canal must be
“insulated" from politics of any
one country.
Shepilov told an impromptu
news conference this actually was
a proposal for internationalizing

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that

Report and Account with this Court,
and that the 10th day of December. 1956,

the waterway and that he could
not accept it. He said politics
would appear in any internation
al body organized to run the Suez
Canal.
Dulles stood firmly behind a
British-French proposal which
called for negotiations on the 'oa
sis of the London proposals for
international control of the canal.
He said he would vote for the
British-French plan.
On the basic principle of guar
antees against use of the canal as
an instrument of national policy,
the secretary of state said:
“If Egypt accepts that simple
and rudimentary principle of jus
tice, then I believe that the sub
sidiary problems can be resolved.
If that problem is repudiated,
then it is difficult to foresee a
useful role for a negotiating body.
“Indeed, under those conditions
it is difficult to foresee any set
tlement in accordance with the
principles of justice and of inter
national law.”
Dulles spoke as the 11-nation
Council wound up its opening
round of policy statements and
prepared to go into closed-door
sessions for detailed discussions.
