Administration Disavows Connection
With Texas Republican Fund Appeal
WASHINGTON, UPi — The Ei-j
senhower Administration Tues- i
day disavowed any connection j
with a Republican fund appeal in
Texas which linked party con- j
tributions and the fate of the1
Natural Gas Bill.
So did chairman Meade Alcorn
of the Republican National Com
mittee.
The dppeal, printed Tuesday in
the Washington Post, went out in
connection with a $l()0-a-plate
fund - raising dinner in Houston
in honor of Rep. Joseph W. Mar
tin Jr., of Massachusetts, GOP
House leader.
It said Martin had always been
a friend of the Texas oil and gas
industries, had helped pass a bill
to ease federal control over nat
ural gas producers in the past,
and it will be up to Martin to
muster at least €5 per cent of the
Republican votes “in order to
pass the gas bill this year.”
“He has to put Republican
members from northern and east
ern consuming areas on the spot
politically,” the appeal added,
“because the bill is not popular
due to the distortion of facts by
newspaper columnists and
others.”
Even before the Republican
National Committee could whip!
out a formal statement expressing
its disavowal, White House press I
secretary James C; Hagerty said j
it would be forthcoming.
Hagerty said the gist of the
statement was this:
“The Republican National
Chairman says not one cent of
that money is going into the Re
publican National Committee —
that the committee wouldn’t ac
cept any of the money.”
Eisenhower vetoed a 1956 bill
which would have freed natural
gas producers from direct federal
regulation, saying he did so be
cause of what he called “arro
gant” tactics of a portion of the
petroleum industry in behalf of
the measure. Eisenhower said he
favored the general objectives of
the measure.
Pending now is a bill which
would have similar effect though
it would employ a different pro
cess.

11 Japanese Scientists
Evacuated From Their
Antarctic Station Today
TOKYO, UP>— Eleven Japanese
scientists were evacuated by ski
plane from the antarctic expedi
tion station today and flown to
the Japanese rescue ship Soya j
Maru.
The 2,700-ton Soya Maru along
with the U.S. Icebreaker Burton
Island were bogged down in ice
78 miles from the Ongul Island
station of the Japanese scientific
team.
The plane also carried six sled
dogs and the headquarters here
said efforts would be made to
evacuate 18 other dogs left be
hind at the base.
The Burton Island reached the
Soya Maru Friday after the
Japanese ship broke free from
ice which held it for 46 days.
But the skipper of the Burton Is
land reported that his efforts to
lead the Soya Maru out were
stalled by heavy ice.
Increasingly bad weather may
make it impossible to replace the
11 scientists with a new party.
In Tokyo, the Japan Society
for Prevention of Cruelty to Ani
mals petitioned the government
not to leave the sled dogs behind
if the base is abandoned.
