The audience at a $100 a plate

praised Stevenson "as the great

deprived of the presidency."
Stevenson, sitting on the

gay "I have been across the na

Stevenson Silent
"I don't know what he is go
ing to do, but I am telling you
what the American people
want," Clement said.
On the same note, Chicago
mayor Richard J. Daley called
Stevenson "a man qualified to
be the leader of the nation" and
who - "will offer again his
leadership."
Stevenson, the Democrats'
1952 presidential candidate, said
afterwards he was "very much
flattered and grateful." But he
refused to declare his political
intentions.
"When I have anything further
to say, I shall issue a written
statement," he told newsmen.

Finale Expected
In Trucker Talks
Los Angeles (UP.) Feder
al Conciliator John Fenton said
he hoped today's negotiation be
tween AFL Teamsters and rep
resentatives of long-haul truck
ing firms in 11 Western states
would be the "grand finale" in
the 21-day-old strike.
Fenton, who has indicated a
settlement in the crippling
strike is "in sight" said last
night after a marathon negotia
ting session of nearly 14 hours
that "a few issues remain to be
settled "
Fenton would not predict a
settlement time, however, re
peating only his previous state
ment that "most basic issues,
in the dispute had been settled
Neither union nor trucking of
ficials would comment on cur
rent negotiations.
The teamsters called the strike
against three trucking industry
firms here May 19, , prompting
an industry-wide shutdown in
California, Oregon, Washington,
Utah, Idaho, Arizona, New Mex
ico, West Texas, Nevada, Col
rado and Wyoming.
The union asked for an im
mediate 10-cent hourly pay in
crease with increases of eight
cents more in each of the next
two years.
Negotiations began last Thurs
day, lasting at least 12 hours a
day. Fenton said "both sides are
making an honest and sincere
effort to end the dispute as
quickly as possible."

on the Eisenhower administra

He said the Democrats could
whip anybody the Republicans
put up next year, but added the
GOP is "in a touchy campaign
to get the gentlemen from
Gettysburg to run again."
"They want him, of course,
because they say he is more
popular than the Republican
party," Clement said. "Well,
who isn't?"
Douglas Plans
Passenger Jet
Santa Monica, Calif. (U.R)
Douglas Aircraft Co., has dis
closed plans to build America's
first passenger jet transport
plane which will have a top
speed in excess 'of 550 miles an
hour and will carry from 80 to
125 passengers.
Company President Donald
W Douglas announced last night
his firm has decided to build
the ship, which wiH be able to
fly from Los Angeles to New
York in less than five hours and
from New York to Paris in less
than seven hours.
The jet transport, to be known
as the DC8, will be ready for its
initial test flight by December,
1957, with airlines deliveries to
begin in 1959. It will be nearly
200 miles an hour faster than
the firm's DC7 "Seven Seas
propeller-driven plane which is
scheduled for delivery to eight
leading airlines in 1956.
The jet transport is being de
signed so that it will be able to
operate from existing major air
terminals despite its size and
speed.
The DC8 will have a wing
span of 134.6 feet, a length of
140.6 feet and will stand 40.2
feet high. Gross weight of the
overwater version will be 257,
000 pounds. The domestic model,
with less fuel capacity, will have
a gross weight of 211,000
pounds.

21 N. CENTRAL
Democrats Claim
Major Victory
To Scuttle Plans
Washington (U.R) Demo
crats in Congress claimed a
major victory today in their
fight to scuttle President Eisen
hower's Dixon-Yates power plan.
They conceded they still have
a "long row to hoe," but said a
House Appropriation Subcom
mittee decision to withhold Dixon-Yates
fundi sought by the
President is a big step in the
right direction.
The subcommittee, at a closed
meeting yesterday, rejected Mr.
Eisenhower's request for $6,500,
000 to build transmission lines
across the Mississippi river. The
lines would carry power from the
proposed Dixon-Yates plant at
West Memphis, Ark., to the Ten
nessee Valley Authority system.
The subcommittee recom
mended instead that TVA get
the same sum of money to start
work on a proposed $90,000,000
steam plant of its own at Fulton,
Tenn. ,
The President devised Dixon
Yates as part of a plan to meet
growing needs, in the TVA area
without further congressional ap
propriations. It calls for. a private utility
combine to build a West Mem
phis plant and pipe its power to
TVA to replace TVA power used
by the Atomic Energy Commis
sion. Sen. Albert Gore (D-Tenn.)
said . the subcommittee vote
struck the Dixon-Yates plan in
a vital spot.
"Without the transmission
line, the President will have a
contract on his hands for Dixon
Yates to deliver 600,000 kilo
watts of electricity to the middle
of the Mississippi river with no
takers," Gore said.
Dixon-Yates does not have a
franchise to cross the Tennesee
line. TVA cannot build a line to
the middle of the river to take
the power without a congression
al appropriation. This we intend
to deny."
Reps. Clifford Davis and Joe
L. ' Evins, Tennessee Democrats,
said the subcommittee vote, if
sustained by the full Appropria
tions Committee and by the
House and Senate, means an end
to Dixon-Yates.
Financial Aspects
Meanwhile, the Securities and
Exchange Commission continued
hearings on the private financial
aspects of the project.
Richard W. Cook, deputy gen
eral manager of the AEC, was
called as today's first witness.
An SEC examiner, James G.
Ewell, is hearing arguments on
the Dixon-Yates plan to borrow
up to $120,000,000 from two in
surance companies and 24 banks
to pay most of the costs of con
structing the West Memphis
plant.
Edgar H. Dixon, president of
Mississippi . Valley Generating
Co. (the Dixon-Yates company)
and of Middle South Uitilities
Inc. (one of its two parent com
panies), testified yesterday that
the terms of the proposed bor
rowing, negotiated last year, are
better than could be arranged
today, in view of tha recent up
ward trend of interest rates.
Confers With Cfiou
Tokyo (U.R) Indonesian
Premier Ali Sastroamidjojo said
today he discussed with Com
munist Chinese Premier Chou
En-lai his country's offer to help
arrange negotiations between
Red China and the United State.
Radio Peiping heard here said
Sastroamidjojo discussed the
possibilities of easing tension in
the Formosa Straits when he
visited Chou in Peiping last
week. The premier arrived by
plane at Djakarta, Indonesia
Tuesday.
