2 Tht Newt-Review, Roieburg, Dulles Agreeable To Appear Friday Before Committee WASHINGTON I Chairman George (DGa) said Tuesday Sec retary of State Dulles has tenta tively agreed to appear Friday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (or a thorough airing of complaint! arising from the lanks-for-Arahia deal. Other members said George as sured them at a closed committee session Tuesday the investigation will "cover the waterfront," in cluding Democratic complaints of lack of consultation on State De partment actions. George said Undersecretary of State Hoover is slated to appear with Dulles at the 2:30 p.m. closed session. Sen. Humphrey (D-Minn) said Dulles would be asked not only about the shipment of 18 tanks to Saudi Arabia, that was embar goed temporarily, but about his "brink of war" interview in Life magazine "and everything else." And Sen. Aiken (R-Vt) said that as he understood it "the sky's the limit" insofar as questioning the officials is concerned. Senate and House Democrats had grumbled that the Eisenhower ad ministration had failed to consult Congress before making major for eign policy moves like the tank shipment to Saudi Arabia. Canyonville Sets Annexation Plan The Canyonville City Council Monday night approved an ordi nance paving the way for annexa tion of a 54-acre area east of town on Highway 227. The council also began work on an ordinanco for a sewer bond is sue to be completed in time for the May 19 primary election. City Attorney Robert G. Daniel son told correspondent Virginia Proctor that annexation plans de pend now on a stipulation that all residents of the area east of town agree in writing to the annexation before the time scheduled for a public hearing, March 19. The hearing will be in the City Hall at 8 p.m. on that date. At the hearing city residents may make remonstrances. If all residents of the area to bo annexed agree in writing and if no remon strances of major import crop up at the public hearing, vote will not be necessary. The matter is subject to referendum, however. Meanwhile, information was re ported on the planned bond issue for sewers. The issue will be $140, 000 in general obligation bonds and $00,000 in Bancroft bonds. The council hopes to have the or dinance complete to allow the elec tion on the issues May 19. In other action Monday, the council: (1) Considered appoint ments to fill a vacancy on the council. (2) Requested tho police depart ment to enforce the ordinance gov- ernlnff nedrilers and solicitors with out n license.

Half-Mill City Levy For Library Proposed (Continued from Page One) appointed by the council to serve on the coumy lihrary boaru 1 1'nKl.wl n Mniindl fj.f n uisnfllf contract between the city a n d J county on lihrary matters. 4. Approved proposal to continue all restrictions on gift collections made to the Hoseburg Library. 5. Tabled a request that some identity of Hoseburg be included in the county library name. 6. Tabled a request that the li brary be kept open six days a week for 11 hours and Sunday far three hours. 7. Tabled a request for $8,000 of a continuing levy to be paid in the beginning years to the county li brary. 8. Approved a request that equip ment urgently needed by the coun ty lihrary from the city library be given it except that which the city manager determines the city should keep. The city will dispose of the rest. No report nor action was made on dispos.il of the Hoseburg Li brary building after tho library moves out of it. As might be expected, most dis cussion centered around finances. Mayor Ernest Barker Jr. and Councilman Luoma took a strong stand for no support in the form of a levy to the county library. At the other extreme chairman Knutit son said he thought a levy of eiglit tentlis of a mill was not exorbitant. The council voted five times he fore the half mill figure was ap proved. The eight-tenths figure fail ed by a 4-3 vote. Knudtsnn Hum re quested seven-tenths. U was de feated 4-3. Knudtson then just re quested n levy, not stipulating a figure. This was approved. VI!. A six-tenths mill request died for lack of a second. Finally, the half milt was approved on the split de cision.

EUender (D- f.a), Agriculture Committee chair man, expressed hope the farm bill could be taken up late in the day and finally acted on Friday. But most senators considered Ellender's estimate highly opti mistic, since farm legislation is one of the most politically explos ive issues before Congress in this national election year. The principal farm bill fight is exoected to be over proposed res toration of high, fixed price sup- norts on basic crops, which the i administration strongly opposes, However, there are numerous les- ser arm provisions to oe lougm out on the floor. EUender, aided by minority lead er Knowland (R-Califl, has been waging an unsuccessful battle to cut the various committee re quests. The Louisiana Democrat contends that the larger commit tee staffs grow, the harder it is to cut them, because he said they create work to justify their ex istence. Violence Flares At Republic Corp.

But he told, a closed-door session of the Senate Armed Services Com mittee "the Communists can build strength faster than we originally predicted." The Air Force chief of staff said Soviet leaders are putting extra ef forts into research and develop ment. "This greater effort could also result in the Soviets obtaining bet ter missiles sooner than we," he added. "They have stated they expect to have ocean-spanning weapons in the near future," Twining said.

The Air Force leader said Sovi et Russia now has many more combat aircraft than the. United States Air Force, but he credited this country with being ahead in quality and striking power. He conceded that the Commu nists have advanced both in oi'in tity and quality of aircraft and missiles much faster than our ex perts believed possible as recently as eignt montns ago. In the missile field. Twining said this country is making progress but added: "No one can guarantee at this time that our future schedules on these ballistics missiles will be met."

Nuclear weapons make disper sal and survival synonymous," he said, "Our striking force is now jammed on too few bases." In the field of "new weapons." Twining said, "over-all we have had a head start."
