Ike's New Troop Use Plan Eyed Congress Leaders Hear Mid-East Proposal By JOHN SCALI WASHINGTON uei President Eisenhower lays his new Middle East plan for blocking Red ex pansion before congressional lead ers today amid signs he intends to press for swift action. Both Republican and Democrat ic House and Senate leaders were invited to a White House briefing to discuss the idea and to help decide on a course of ac tion. The White House stressed that no final decision has been made by the administration. Special Message Due But Eisenhower it, understood to Abe ready to follow up the briefing with a special message outlining the plan to Congress on its open ing day Thursday, and some ad ministration leaders ex pressed hope the Senate Foreign Relations Committee could begin hearings on the proposal early next week. Foreign aid, defense matters, further assistance to Hungarian refugees and other foreign and de fense problems were due for dis cussion, but major interest cen tered on the leaders' reaction to Eisenhower's expected request for: 1. Emergency authority to use the American armed forces, if necessary, in order to throw a protective shield around Red threatened countries in the area from Gibraltar to the Arabian Sea. Economic Aid 2. Approval of a two-year 400 million dollar economic aid fund to build up the economies of Mid dle East countries, including Is rael, to help them withstand Com munist subversion and penetra tion. With some opposition already developing, three influential Sen ate Democrats proposed United Nations police action as an al ternative to Eisenhower's Middle East plan. Sens. Sparkman (D-Ala.), Mans field (D-Mont) and Monroney D Okla) said in separate interviews they are opposed to having the United States act alone to post a warning "keep out" sign against Russia in the Middle East. Instead the trio proposed crea tion of a permanent U.N. police force to keep the peace in the area. Such a force, provided by smaller nations, is now there tem porarily. Sens. Russell (D-Ga) and Byrd (D-Va) said the suggestion was worthy of "full considera tion." Pravtla Flays Ike Doctrine' As Enslaving MOSCOW (UP) The Soviet communist organ Pravda charged today that the proposed "Eisen hower doctrine" for the Middle East would "enslave people" and set up the United States as a "gendarme." Pravda gave the first detailed Soviet comment on the plan in a dispatch from New York. It described the proposal as "a plan for strengthening American colonial domination, worked out by Secretary of Stale John Foster Dulles...proposmg to the Middle Eastern countries that the United States 'defend' their territory and providing for so-called 'economic aid' in exchange for an agreement to accept American military a guardianship. ' ' Pravda said the plan would al- no sive the President authority to take economic, political and if necessary military measures to oppose any Soviet aggression in the Mideast. "The lying nature of the pro claimed goals of the new Ameri can plan are especially striking in connection with. ..the participa tion of Britain and France tile recent aggressors against Egypt even though in the position of poor relatives."

Less than 45 minutes after she was born, Salem's first 1957 baby was ready to have her picture taken with her mother. The 7 pound daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don Dunham, 1136 North 15th St., was born at Salem Memorial hospital at 9:33 a.m. Tuesday. There were no other babies reported at Marion or Polk county hospitals.

Dunhams Parents Of First '57 Baby The infant 1957 made its appear ance at midnight but it was more than nine and a half hours later before the first child "'as born in Marion county. Shortly before noon Tuesday only one New Year's baby had been re ported in the entire county. The girl who had the New Year's field entirely to herself was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don Dun ham, 1136 North 15th St., born at 9:33 a.m. at Salem Memorial hos pital. The city's newest resident weigh ed in at an even seven pounds. By UNITED PRESS The New Year's bahy derby was strictly a photo finish affair today. It would have taken split second timing to determine the first 1957 baby born in the Unit ed States. In at least one case a doctor timed the birth with a stop watch. Any baby born more than 30 sec onds after midnight was well out of the running. The two best claims appeared to be those of a Philadelphia child and a Des Moines baby. Babies were born at the "stroke of midnight" to Mr. and Mrs. Ken- Airman's Wife Dies at Depot SPOKANE m The 20-ycar-old wife of an Air Force sergeant collapsed and died at a railroad depot Monday night just seconds after her husband boarded a train on his way overseas.

Revelry, Solemnity As World Greets New Year By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The world celebrated tne arrival of New Year's Day against a backdrop of unsteady peace but with hope 1957 will bring an eas ing of international tension. New Year s E' e revelry was a quilt of contrast throughout the globe. In the United States and much of the Western world, tradi tional year - ending celebrations were the rule. Manv observed the year s end by attending traditional watch night services ann holy hours in their churches. In Japan, the advent of New Year meant a time for paying homage to ones ancestors and re newal of religious faiths. It was a solemn occasion and many of the country's 90 million inhabitants donned bright new kimonos to. greet 1957 in accustomed style.

New Year Gets Noisy, Orderly Start in Salem Many Salem residents evidently decided to spend a quiet New Year's Eve at home at least they stayed out of tne downtown area. Only one arrest and one investiga tion of exploding firecrackers stemmed directly from the holi day, city police said. Officers reported that traffic, bothered much of the week by fog, picked up a little Monday eve ning. Noise in the downtown area was confined to automobile horns, a few firecrackers, and other noisemakcrs. Most of the noise came from teenagers leaving dances and movies. Several Salem churches held watch night services. Hillcrest School for Girls held a special program and other state institu tions were planning programs to day. The lone arrest was on a drunk charge. A disorderly conduct charge may be filed against a 17-year-old youth who was caught with a fire cracker in his hand in a down town theater, officers said. The youth was caught in a rest room with a firecracker shortly after firecrackers were shot off in the lobby and auditorium of the Capitol theater. Larry Foss, as sistant manager of the theater. said a complaint would be signed Wednesday. The youth denied set ting off the two firecrackers. the revolution - wracked nation.

During the Christmas weekend traffic deaths added up to a rec ord 706. 973 Previous High The highest combination Christ mas and New Year traffic death toll was 973, compiled last year.

FRYER Capital Journal Writer Marion county upheld its annual average in traffic deaths in 1956, but without the help of Salem, which recorded only one death for the year, its lowest in many years, according to traffic records. The county counted 23 dead, in cluding the one in Salem, from traffic accidents in the year just ended. Its average for the past 11 years has been just a fraction under that. Less Than '55 It was a considerable reduction from 1955, however, when 33 died as a result of traffic accidents in the county. Salem's single traffic fatality was one below that recorded in 1949. 1951 and 1953, and five bc-luw last year's mark. Highest loss in traf fic deaths in recent years was in 1952 when seven persons died. Polk county was down in traffic deaths from the previous year with only four deaths as compared to 10 in 1955. More Multiple Deaths Although the Marion county deaths were down by 10 from the previous year, the number would have been even lower but for the extra number of multiple fatalities. Five accidents in the county dur ing 19.56 claimed two lives each. Four of those involved trains strik ing cars and the other was a head on crash on the Salem by-pass. There were only two multiple-fatality accidents in 1955, although one of the them took four lives by injury or drowning when a car plunged into Detroit lake. There were also two multiple-fatality ac cidents in 1954 (taking five livesl and one in 1953 (two lives). The reduction in deaths during the year was credited by officials to several things. Among them were traffic safety campaigns, an increased stress en courtesy in driving, and improved streets and highways. - O 1 TOST mM matter at Slm.
