Oregon Price 5e Ike Takes Final Dry BeltLook MayAiinounceHis Plan for Relief In Wichita Dulles Sees U.S. In Mid-East War If Policy Vetoed By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH TUCSON. Ariz. Ifl President Eisenhower was told Tuesday that Arizona's drought stricken ranges are in the worst condition in more than 30 years. Before taking off for the final round of drought inspection, he heard that cattle, one of the back bones of the state's economy, were the poorest since the Crop and Livestock Reporting Service began making estimates in 1922. Breeding Herds Depleted Dr. Harold Myers, dean of the College of Agriculture at the Uni versity of Arizona, said: "The drought effect will last far beyond the coming calf crop. Breeding cow numbers will have to be rebuilt. This repair job will take several years." Some ranchers already have spent almost as much on feed as the value of their cows, Myers said. The President may disclose later Tuesday what the federal govern ment proposes to do about easing the worsening plight of farmers and ranchers. Aides said the President might talk about some of his plans at a conference scheduled late in the day at Wichita, Kan. He will meet at McConnell Air Force Base there with representatives of all states confronted with drought damage problems. To Colorado, Kansas In advance of that session Ei senhower's program calls for on- the-spot study of the situation here in Arizona and in the re gions around Pueblo, Colo., and Garden City, Kan. The President arranged an early breakfast meeting at Tucson's Davis - Monthan Air Base, where he spent the night, for a report on what Arizona folks would like in the way of federal relief measures. Then he was go- Continue!? on Page 5 Column 6) Morse Says He's 'So Scared' He Can't Talk WASHINGTON Ifl Secretary Dulles said Tuesday that il Con gress turns down President El senhower's Middle East program events may get out of hand with a very great likelihood Amer ican boys may have to fight there. He argued the chances of ac tual involvement of U.S. troops would be diminished if Eisenhow er were given standby authority to use them in event of Soviet aggression. 'Great Likelihood' Dulles was asked by Sen. Lang- er (R-ND) what were the possi bilities of American boys having to fight in the Middle East. If the resolution passes, there is very little likelihood," Dulles Minus 55 Cold Sets N.Y. Mark Shivers Names 'Loyal Dem'as Texas Senator Blakley Refuses to Say Whether He'll Vote With GOP Ike-Macmillaii Exchange Not About Parley TUCSON, Ariz. W President Eisenhower Tuesday made public an exchange of messages with Great Britain's new prime min isteran exchange pledging cm- tinued personal friendship and ob viously looking to bolstering Anglo-American unity. The exchange with Harold Mac- millan, who last week succeeded Anthony Eden as chief of Britain's government, was put out in Tuc son shortly before the President left on a further tour of drought damaged areas of the Southwest. "I send my warmest congratu lations to you on becoming prime minister of the United Kingdom," Eisenhower messaged Macmillan, with whom he became well ac quainted during World War II. "Your distinguished career is well known on this side of the At' lantic and has earned our wide spread respect. "My own warm admiration stems, as you know, from our as sociations in North Africa and through the succeeding years. For me that association has been as agreeable as it has been produc live." Neither Eisenhower nor Mac millan, in his reply, made any mention of the possibility of face-to-face meeting. AUSTIN. Tex. (UP)-Gov. Al Ian Shivers of Texas, as his last official act, today appointed Dal las attorney William A. Blakley, a "loyal Democrat' though ar. Eisenhower partisan, to the U.S. Senate succeeding Gov.-elect Price Daniel. Senate Democratic Leader Lyn don Johnson (D-Tex) announced in Washington Blakley will vote with the Democrats, thus continu ing 49-47 Democratic control of the Senate. But Blakley. at Dallas, refused to say whether he will vote Demo cratic or Republican as interim senator from iexas. It's not voting time, he said, "I don't think we ought to talk voting now. Daniel stepped down from the office, with two years remaining on his term, to take his oath as governor of Texas at noon. The appointment of an Eisen hower partisan posed an immed iate threat to the slim uemocratic control of the Senate. However, there was no immed' iate indication whether Blakley would challenge the Democratic hold on the Senate by voting with the Republicans. This would re sult in a 48-48 tie, and throw con trol to the GOP as Vice President Richard M. Nixon could cast the tie-breaking vote. replied. "If it doesn't pass there is a verv great likelihood. For the second day. members of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees' were questioning Dulles about the Eisenhower program which calls for (A) financial aid to nations of the Middle East, and (B) stand by authority to use U.S. troops to combat any direct Soviet aggres sion in that part of the world. There were plans at one time to wind ip .the questioning of Dulles Tuesday. But after pro tests by Sen. Morse (D-Ore) against any "pressure to shorten questioning,' Sen. Green (D-RI) whu heads up the joint group, said Dulles would be called for further questioning after next week's inauguration ceremonies. Asks Proof for Statement Speaking in a hoarse voice, Morse told the public hearing: "I'm so frightened about the matter I'm almost speechless as my voice shows. Several Democratic senators have said they want to ask Dulles to give some proof for a state ment he made Monday that the Communist threat to the Middle East is the most dangerous sit' uation "we have faced over the past 10 years." One general argument that Dul les makes is that the Soviets are less likely to engage in aggres sion in the Middle East if they have plain notice in advance that the United States would fight. I Sen. Kefauver (D-Tenn said there had been no administration effort to get Great Britain, France and other nations of the North At lantic Treaty Organization to join in the undertaking involved in the resolution. "If Europe were a part of the plan," Dulles said, "it would be absolutely doomed from the be ginning. It would not succeed.

Assistant superintendent Nor man Hamilton said the program to start on a trial basis next fall will use the non-teachers in kindergartens and in high school English and typing classes. The aides will help regular teachers keep records, grade pa pers, supervise attendance and perform other non-teaching roles. Hamilton said they probably would be paid about $3,500 a year. Hamilton said they will enable a teacher to take care of more pupils and would fill the gap dur ing any instructor shortage. The board also approved Mon day night a plan to have pro grams dealing with art, music and social studies telecast into Portland's elementary schools. Senator Urces Refugee Halt, Hunt for Reds WASHINGTON Wl Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D-SC) called Tues day for halting the flow of Hun garian refugees into his country pending further investigation. He said he believes "a substantial number of Communists," have been admitted. "We are playing with dyna mite, Johnston told newsmen aft er a Senate Internal Security sub committee hearing at which an escapee from Hungary testified a Communist secret police agent had been planted in the Ameri can legation there. Johnston, acting as the subcom mittee chairman, said that "in my opinion, there is no question that a substantial number of Com munists are coming in under the pretext that they didn't like their country and wanted to come here. "The truth is," he added, "that a lot of them have come here to spread communism under cover." At President Eisenhower's di rection over 20,000 Hungarian refugees have been admitted to this country since last October's freedom revolt. The President or dered emergency steps to admit the bulk of them. He has asked Congress to pass legislation to let them become permanent resi dents. Records Topple by Hundreds; Many Schools.
