auit and get right in the middle of It. And that's what Hal
Korberg, The Statesman' veteran ' Dallas correspondent, did at
Dallas Smileroo celebration Saturday. His parade story snd
additional pictures are in sec. 2, page 9. In background is part

TOQUE
On the whole the Mth Congress
which adjourned Friday night did
a workmanlike job in its second
session. Its deliberations were in
terrupted less by side-circus in
vestigations which sometimes have
taken the play from what went on
under the big tent. Members of
Congress can take considerable
satisfaction over what this body
did and what it did not do. As
to each side of this record there
will be much debate, with the
voters the judges in the coming
election. The country as a whole
seems to show a good degree of
satisfaction with the performance
of this Congress. t
The outstanding legislative ac
complishments of this sessions in
elude the highway construction
act, the adoption of a soil bank
plan for farm relief, and approval
of an extension of the social se
curity system and liberalization
of Its benefits.
Conspicuous among the Items
which failed of enactment are the
bill for federal aid in school con
struction, the relief of independ
ent gas producers from FPC reg
ulation (vetoed by the President!,
increase in postal rate schedules,
legislation to advance civil rights.
The West is very sensitive to
congressional action dealing with
public works and resource devel
opment. Here the report is mixed.

well in appropriations. The big

2.) Known Dead;
73 More Still
Unaccounted for
NEW YORK - The Italian
Line, operator of the sunken liner
Andrea Doria, revised sharply up
ward Saturday night its figures
on the dead and missing from
the ship.
It listed "two dead and 18 mis
sing and presumed dead." This
would bring the death toll in the
sea tragedy to 23.
A company spokesman said
there also were about 73 addi
tional "unaccounted for" from the
Andrea Doria, but it was frit that
"many of these were alive" and
probably would be located.
Bodies Missing
Earlier, three Andrea Doria
passengers were reported dead by
fellow passengers or relatives who
were aboard the ship . Their bod
ies were not recovered. Two other
Andrea Doria passengers died aft-
er wing rescueu.
Two crewmen of the liner Stock
holm, badly damaged in the col
lision with the Andrea Doria, were
known to be dead also and three
other Stockholm crew members
are missing and believed dead.
The New York police depart
j
ment said its figures now show 15
persons missing and 70 unaccount
ed for. Previously it had said it
believed that most if not all pas
sengers and crew bad been ac
counted for.
Great Canfualoa
Ever since the arrival 'of. six
rescue ships with survivors of last
Wednesday night's ocean mishap
there has been great confusion as
to the number of dead and mis
sing. Meanwhile, the Andrea Doria's
master, Capt. Piero Calamai, told
a news conference that every
thing possible was done by his
crew to save everyone aboard.
Some passengers had voiced crit
icism of the crew's work, while
others praised it.
He continued to keep his silence
as to possible causes of the di
saster. (Story alse Page 11, See. 2.)

Ike Dispatches
Ace Envoy to
Trouble Area
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON i-The United
States sharply rebuked Egyptian
President Nasser Saturday for
"intemperate, inaccurate and mis
leading statements" about this
country.
Nasser has charged, among
other things, that the United
Slates lied about Egypt's ability
to build the Aswan high dam
The American protest, was de
livered orally to Ambassador Ah
med Hussein by Undersecretary
of State Herbert Hoover Jr. It
topped off a day of fast moving
developments here on the crisis
created by Nasser's seizure of the
Sues Canal for the stated purpose
of obtaining funds to build the
dam.
Eavoy Dispatched
The developments:
1. President Eisenhower dis
patched an ace diplomatic trou
bleshooter. Deputy Undersecre
tary of State Robert Murphy, to
confer with British and French
foreign ministers in London on
measures for dealing with the
Suez seizure. Murphy left Wash
ington at mid-day and was due in
London Sunday.
2. Secretary of State Dulles at
Lima, Peru, arranged to cut short
his Latin American visit by sev
eral hours in order to get back to
Washington ahead of schedule
Monday and take personal charge
of U. S. policy in the Suez crisis.
Mission Discussed
3. Eisenhower, Murphy and
Hoover met at the White House
for about an hour early in the day
to review the situation, go ever
Murphy's mission and presumably
decide on the protest against Nas
ser a charges.
4. Responsible officials made it
clear that the United States .lands
firmly with Britain and France in
their moves to deal with the aeit
ure of the Canal. The British and
French have a primary interest in
the dispute because of their owner
ship rights in the private company
which has operated the strategic
waterway.
Murphy had Instructions lo try
to develop with British Foreign
Secretary Selwyn Lloyd and
French Foreign Minister Christian
Pineau reasonable and effective
measures for handling the Canal
issue. Special emphasis is being
laid on American concern in
keeping the waterway open to in
ternational traffic.
I'.S. 'Shocked I
The protest was delivered to
Hussein by Hoover during a 50
minule conference in Hoover's of
fice at the State Department.
Press Officer Lincoln White an
nounced that Hoover told the am
bassador the United States was
"shocked by the many intemper
ate, inaccurate and misleading
statements made with respect to
the United States by the President
of Egypt during the past few days
and particularly in his Alexandria
speech delivered on July 2t."
Hoover declared the statements
were "entirely inconsistent" with
the friendly relations between the
two countries.
