(AP Photofux) Demos Complain of Not Being Informed On Tanks Morse Denounces Foreign Policy Secrecy WASHINGTON un Senate and House Democrats grumbled today that the Eisenhower administra tion has been neglecting to consult Congress before making major foreign policy moves like the tank shipment to Saudi Arabia.

Cut-Rate Air Freight OKd WASHINGTON UP) The Civil Aeronautics Board Tuesday estab lished a new type of low cost air freight service "Deferred air freight."

Montgomery Kegroes con tinued their bus boycott with new determination today after over whelmingly re'Cl'ting a compro mise settlement. The Montgomery County grand jury was expected to make its final report sometime today climaxing an eight-day investigation of the mass segregation protest now in its 12th week. Indictments could be returned under an old Alabama law which makes unlawful boycotting punish able by a fine of SI, 000 and six months in jail. With a solemn vow to "walk on," an offer to end the souths first mass use of economic force in the battle over racial segregation was rejected at a Negro rally lqst night. Only two dissenting votes were cast, said the Rev. Ralph D. Aber- nathy, chairman of the negotiating committee and pastor of the Negro First Baptist Church. The Rev. .Mr. Abernathy said about 4.000 persons attend the rally- Representatives of the Montgom ery city lines and the city commis sion previously had agreed to the proposals submitted by a newly formed civic organization, the Men of Montgomery. Conforming to "existing (segre gation) laws," the compromise plan proposed that the first 10 seats in the front of each bus be reserved for white passengers-and the first 10 seats in the rear for Negroes. Remaining seats in the center would be filled by Negroes from the rear toward the front and white customers from the front to the rear. Negroes woulo be promised courteous treatment, and extra buses would be used during peak hours of travel. The compromise sought to assure the Negroes that there would he "no retaliation whatsoever result ing from the bus boycott."

The farm bureau especially wanted it known that it had made a report to be sent in with the re port by the Chamber of Commerce of Molalla.

He said his party's national committee would examine the "impossible situation" Friday.

The five represen tatives from Bavaria, controlled by an opposition coalition, are pledged to support him in those two key policy fields. The rising challenge to Aden auer's control comes as his gov ernment is preparing to push through now legislation to fulfill West Germany's pledge to raise a 500,000-man force for the North Atlantic Alliance.
