Net laethieal In reporting their findings, three committee Republicans and one Democrat concluded Strobel did not engage in any conduct that was unethical for in violation of the federal conflict of interest laws. . The Democrat, former Rep. Sid ney A. Fine of New York, went further and said Strobel "was caused unnecessary and what turned out to be completely un justified embarrassment" Fine, now a New York Supreme Court justice, also criticized Man sure for telling the committee that many of Strobel's actions were "improper" and in violation of GSA's standards of eonduct regu lations. ' The Republican report noted that the income of Strobel's firm dropped SO per cent while he held a government post. Opposing View An opposing view was taken by the Democratic minority of Chair man Celler (NY I and Reps, Rodino NJ and Rogers (Colo). They concluded there was an ac tive conflict of Interest between Strobel's private and official ac tivities, and that Strobel specifical ly violated GSA's own code of ethics in having "engaged in out side business activities in behalf of Strobel k Sajzman without ob taining special permission from agency officials." After the hearings were con cluded, Mansure wrote a lengthy letter to the committee answering questions raised by Celler. In it, Mansure said he approved Strobel retaining his private in terests while a federal official, and noted that an investigation of Strobel's background showed him "eminently well qualified, . . and a man of high moral charact er." , i Actios Improper But Mansure said that "in all. fairness" he considered many of Strobel's actions "improper'' and declared "I would not have ap proved such activities if I had known about them."

Legion Chief Says Mid-East Peace Vital PlIILADlXriIIA in - The national commander of the Amer ican Legion, said Saturday night that peace must be maintained In the Middle East at all costs and urged that "a United Nations multi-nation force" be dispatched to prevent war. J. Addington Wagner of Battle Creek, Mich., declared that "the United States cannot permit a con flict in the Middle East," pointing out: "The most compelling (reason) is that the oil deposits in that part of the world are essential to our own security and economy, and even more so to that of our prin cipal allies. "Also to be considered is the necessity of preventing the oil of the Middle East from falling into the hands of Soviet Russia." Wagner, at a testimonial dinner honoring the commander of Penn sylvania's Legionnaires, John Stay, said that "the outbreak of war in the Middle East would most cer tainly endanger, if not destroy, the peace of the world." He added: I "This is the time for positive, dynamic action to exert America a tremendous influence (or the main tenance of peace. At the close of World War II the free people of the world Inherited the earth and chose America as their leader. We must not now be afraid to probate the wiU of freedom." Wagner said that Russia seeks to "capitalize" on the Arab-Israeli problem and "our task is to con vince the Middle Eastern nations that war will not provide the an swer they are seeking, and that the surest hope for their future lies in friendship with the United States." "Should persuasion fail," Wagner insisted, "then we must be resolute to protect the paramount Interests of the United States through what ever means are necessary."

Idaho GOP Delegates for Ike, Nixon LEWISTON. Idaho UPl Idaho Republicans voted Saturday to go right down the line with Presi dent Eisenhower. And Vice Presi dent Nixon. If ever there was doubt about of ficial approval from Idaho for re nominating the vice president, it was dispelled In an emphatically worded resolution passed as the final order of business at the IMS state delegate convention. In effect, it put Idaho's 14 dele- f:ate and 14 alternates, named ate this afternoon, on record in favor of not only Eisenhower but also Nixon when their names come up at the national GOP conven tion in San Francisco Aug.20 Technically however, the action did not pledge the delegate to support Eisenhower and Nixon. Idaho has 14 votes in the con vention. The resolution said in part; "whereas our vice presi dent, Richard M. Nixon, aggres sively supports the Eisenhower. program ana nas renaerea vigor ous and vital assistance to the party and its candidates. . .we do hereby resolve we are united in support of the continued leader ship of Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard M. Nixon. TROOPS LEAVE SAIGON III Remnants of the French Indochina expeditionary force are nearly gone.

Its a 1956 Buick SrEciAL-which means, of course, it's a big car. But look again at the price news it carries. It tells you this big Buick Special can be yours for only a few dollars more than the price of the well-known smaller cars for even less than some models of those very same cars. ( And the price well show you proves how true that is.) The gospel truth is this brawny new beauty is the biggest bundle of high style and hot performance ever offered in Buick'i lowest-priced Scries. Even that, though, doesn't completely explain why Buick outsells every car in America except the two well-known smaller ones. To understand the big reason, you've got to know something about how much more pure automobile you get for your money in a 1956 Buick The extra satisfaction of commanding Buick's walloping new 322-cubic-inch V8 engine The extra joy and comfort of Buick's new buoyant ride, Buick's matchless new" handling ease, Buick's extra solidity of structure , The extra thrill that comes from the world's most modern transmission. For, at your option, you can also have the new double-action take-off -and the extra gas-saving mileage of Buick's advanced new Variable Pitch Dynaflow.f Those are some of the things we'd like you to know, firsthand, .about the 1958 Buick.
