Senate Committee Restores $220 Million Foreign Aid WASHINGTON The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted Wednesday to restore 220 million dollars of the 339 million cut by tho House from President Kisenhower's 3,(M2,092,500 foreign aid program.

The bov, son of Mr. and Mrs. IJoyd Roberta of 473 SE Rust St., is improving today in Douglas Community Hospital after having gulped muriatic acid from the pop bottle Saturday night. The acid is a hydrochloric solution used for cleaning metals before soldering. Roberts said he was working on his ear in a garage Saturday eve ning and his boy was playing near bv. He said the boy wandered to the bottle, apparently thought it was soda pop and took a big drink. Sever burns on the roof of his mouth and his throat made it al most impossible to breathe. He had to he put in an oxygen tent. His doctor today, however, said that the boy may recover with few jll effects. He said he is now able to eat which indicates scarring and contracture may be minimized.

Eisenhower Sees Economic Upturn In The Making NEW YORK I President F.i- senhower told the nation last night that an economic upturn is in the maKing. He foresaw a future bursting with vitality and promise. "No single person and no sin gle group, however wise, can name the day or the week when the up turn will begin," the President said. The slump is not over bv anv means, he said. He added, how- tried to pin the carpetbagger la ever, that reports from the nation Ibcl on Stassen and said he was strongly indicate that the reces- sion is slowing down. Once again he promised that de cisions on tax cut proposals will be made soon. He put so much stress on the dangers in inflation and mounting deficits that he appeared to rule out the likelihood of White House support for a general cut in fed eral income taxes. James C. Hagerty. his press secretary, told newsmen in re sponse to questions that the Presi dent's remarks about an early de cision on taxes should not be in terpreted as meaning necessarily that the administration will advo cate a cut. The President addressed 2.600 business leaders at an economic mobilization conference called by the American Management Assn. He was introduced at the con ference dinner by Vice President Nixon.

Stassen's bid for a political comeback was shattered Wednesday after Pennsylvania's Republicans handed him a crush ing defeat in his quest to become the second man in history to gov ern two states. The 51-year old , Minnesota na tive, admittedly facing an uphill fight, was swamped by a tide of votes that gave his gubernatorial primary opponent, Arthur T. Mc Gonigle, a victory margin of near ly two to one. in luesday s other primary elec tion races, Baltimore's Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro came out on top in a seven man battle for the Democratic nomination for U. S. Senator in Maryland. D Ales andro's running mate. J. Millard Tawes, won the nomination for governor. in Pennsylvania s Democratic primary for governor 65-year-old Mayor David L. Lawrence of Pitts burgh won an overwhelming tri umph, too. Scott, Leader Win Easy victories also were scored by Rep. Hugh Scott in the Repub lican senatorial primary and Gov. George M. Leader in the Demo cratic senatorial race. McGonigle, a Reading pretzel maker, achieved victory in his first election try. beating a man who had his first taste of major political success when he was elected governor of Minnesota at 31. Stassen twice was reelected governor of his home state. But his attempt to duplicate Sam Houston's record of serving as governor of two states Ten nessee and Texas went awry. The Philadelphia returns killed off Stassen early as McGonigle took an 85,000-vote edge in the city a margin greater by 10.000 than the estimate of the 51-vear- old businessman's backers. Stas sen couldn't make any dent in the rest of the state and in 37 coun ties where there was a dear cut decision McGonigle was ahead in 28. Called Carpet Bagger The organization GOP leaders i only interested in working nis way back into the national limelight. They charged he also wanted to head a "Stop Nixon" drive in 1960 -as he did in 1956. Stassen disclaimed such inten tions. A sidelight to the Pennsylvania primaries was the election of the first Negro congressman from the state. Democrat Robert N. N'x defeated Republican C e I i 1 B. Moore, also a Negro, in a special election for the seat formerly held by Democrat Earl Chudoff, who has become a judge. D'Alesandro's victory in Mary land was his 23rd straight in a colorful political career stretch ing over 32 years. The 54-year-old mayor's November opponent will be Republican Sen. J. Glenn Brail, who had only token opposi tion from Henry Laque Jr. Tawes, the state comptroller, easily outdistanced three other candidates in the Democratic gu- Mwrnatonal primary. He will face Rep. James P. Devereux, who was unopposed for the Republi can nomination, in the general election. A m M ri f M I tS Tnlr, , 1?

The group was at half strength with only four councilmen and the same number of citizen members. Because this was shv of a Quorum of nine, they couldn't elect a chair man and secretary, so Mayor Arlo Jacklin ramrodded them. Taking the 33 - page proposed budget, the powerless group wad- ea. page-oy-page, through about half of it. They found few items which seemed to need explanation or which were controversial. The proposed 1958-59 budget calls for a total of $765,815, with sw.290 outside the 6 per cent lim itation. A cut of $2,000 for planning met witn the approval of those present, leaving $4,000 for the fiscal year. This is supposed to be matched with federal funds. Radar Oraws Comment One item which caused consider able comment Tuesday and prob ably is in for further argument is a proposed outlay for a portable radar unit tor the police depart ment. There is an item calling for spending $1,000 for the unit includ ed in the proposed budget. The radar purchase brought the only voting of the session. Strictly unofficially, the eight men voted unanimously against the item as it appears. In another show of hands, five favored deleting the item. A third vote, showed, three favoring hiking it to tl.wo to include a re cording device for the radar unit. Police Chief Vernon Murdoch Jr. defended his request for the radar unit, lie stressed that radar had proved to be successful in prevent ing accidents by reducing traffic speed. Murdoch also contended a unit, portable and operated by one man, would strengthen cases which go to court and also could be used to prove to residents that traffic otjeq is not moving as fast as they coitendV He said his depart. nent gets frequent complaints of speed ing which prove unfounded. Tonight, the budget committee is to meet again starting at 7:30 o'clock. The members hope to work until the budget job is completed if a quorum is present. Selects New Chairman Mrs. Thelma Kleshman, fourth grade teacher at Riverside School, was appointed chairman of the Park School Advisory Admissions Board at a board meeting Tuesday night. Dr. Harold Dickman, Psychia trist at the Roseburg Veterans Ad ministration Hospital, was appoint ed to fill a vacancv on the board which was left by Dr. H. W. Mik kelson. Dr. Mikkelson recently re signed when he moved to Idaho. Dr. Dickman's appointment was made by the Roseburg School Dis trict and the Douglas County Court. Among other items of business on the agenda was the acceptance of two children as being eligible for future attendance at the P a rk School. The two children have been placed on a waiting list since the school is filled to capacity at the present time. Children whose applications have been approved, but who did not en roll in the school because of trans portation problems will be asked t0 resubmit their applications.

The council at its March meet ing had discussed a figure of H5. UU0 but this was dismissed since it would finance a camp for 25 boys for uie entire fiscal year. At the Tuesday night meeting, the council executive committee de cided that that many boys would not be likely the first year. It also decided that actual establishment of such a camp would not take place until next year. Arthur Mctiutre, chairman or the Detention and Other Facilities Committee, said the $12,500 would be enough to get the camp under way if property now being eyed is secured. Ha said the property in question would involve no cost. The work camp would be design ed to be used as a detention area to which juvenile hoys could be sentenced rather than being sent to a foster home or MacLaren School for Boys.

Charles de Gaulle. But from Algeria came a defiant no. "We will never move an inch backward," aaid Alain d Serig ny, a powerful member of the French insurgent junta in Al giers. "We will accept no one but De Gaulle." Bolstered by the solid endorse ment of the National Assembly Tuesday, Pflimlin handed the Al gerian mission to Gen. Henri Lo nllot, chief of staff of the com bined French forces. Ixmllot was ordered to confer with Gen. Raoul Salan, the French military commander in Algeria, who has been walking a tightrope between Paris and the French ci vilian and military junta in Al giers. T Ward Off Outbreak Ostensibly, Lorillot's mission is one of discussing routine military operations against the Algerian na tionalists who have been fighting rrencn rule for more than 3d years. But that official reason for the mission apparently la to ward off angry demonstrations when Lorillot arrives. De Serigny told an Algiers news conference that Pflimlin is wrong if he thinks he can settle the insurrection in a few days. Pflimlin promised the National Assembly Tuesday he will take an steps to restore the govern ment's authority over Algeria. The Assembly voted 473-93 to continue the government's emergency pow ers ror Algeria and at the same time rebuffed De Gaulle's bid for power. The action was completed Wednesday when the Council of the Republic, the Parliament'a upper house, voted the Algerian emer gency powers bill 233-62.

The recommendations are beina studied by a Roseburg YMCA building group which has been busv on the project for the past several months. Van Dis said he found much in terest in the project. The minimum building, he said, should have a swimming pool and ui-iai i-cmer, uui community neeas and desires may alter basic plans.
