Twining, U. S. Air Force chief of staff, has praised President Eisenhower's proposed Russian - American aerial pho tography exchange as a "key step toward peace" and promis ed surprising cooperation. Twining told the Air Force Association convention here Fri day that under the proposal it was conceivable tnat the Rus sians might be given acess to "the Air Force bases where we are now standing 24 hours vigil against " a possible Soviet- at tack." " - : Aimed Against SurpriM The air chief told tha 1700 delegates attending the conven tion that the President's plan was "aimed squarely against surprise attack" ' and pledged that the Air Force would "en thusiastically devote its ener gies' to make this great idea work." O But while he praised the pro posal, Twining warned that he believes immediate banning of atomic weapons would "Increase the chances of war." He said the nuclear weapons have "sharpened the world's ap petite for peace," and their ban ning could "invite aggression without instant and dangerous penalty to the aggressor." Bluntly, he told the delegates the Air Force is continuing to grow despite the0"sunny smiles" from Moscow. "We are still ahead well ahead in the kind of air power the Soviets respect," he added. The five-day convention of the AFA closes here today. 3 Mrs. Roosevelt Heads For Thailand Meeting Los Angeles (U.R) Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt enplaned for Bankok.

Situation Changed Delegation spokesman Clif ford Elliott of McMinnville said that while the idea had been proposed as long ago as 1925, recent dev elopments had changed the situation. He said the Longview toll brideg, once privately owned, had been taken over by Wash ington state and would probably be free by the time the road could be constructed. Commission Chairman Char les H. Reynolds said a cost and feasibility study would be made by the higway department "as soon as possible."

HAM SIRVICI PIANO TUNING -REPAIRING - KEY IVORIES RECOVERED Qualified Member American Society of Piano Technicians WALTER OLSON Phone Res. 3-3833 or Bus. 2-5702 (Puruckers) By GOV. A. HARRIMAN OF NEW YORK Written for United Press Even the Republicans agree that they have no chance of win ning the 1956 election unless President Eisenhower is a can didate for re-eiection. For my part, I am confident that with a vigorous candidate and an ag gressive campaign the Democrats will win the presidency and Congress next year regardless of Mr. Eisenhowers ' decision to run or not to run. Never in our history, I think, has there been so rapid a disil lusionment wth a national ad ministration as we have seen since 1953. Says Evidence Plain The evidence of this disillu sionment is plain. Since the Ei senhower administration took office nine states, including New York, have switched from Re publican to Democratic state administrations and our party has won control of both Houses of Congress. The same trend has been evident in local elections throughout the country, and I believe the Democratic tide is still running strongly. In 1954 Mr. Eisenhower made an all-out campaign for the elec tion of a Republican Congress and despite his efforts the peo ple elected a Democratic major ity. Never before has a Presi denfs party lost control of both houses of Congress in an election midway through his first term President Eisenhower's cynical campaign political statement that there would be a "cold war in Washington" if the Democrats won has been proved untrue. Actually, the only "cold war in Washington" has been between Mr. Eisenhower and the leaders of his own party. Cuts Democrats Support The people of the United States know and this fact will be driven home in the cam paign that insofar as the Ei senhower administration has been successful in its foreign policy it is due to Democratic support in Congress and to the solid foundations laid by the Truman programs. We will win in-1956 because the men and women on the farms, the wage and salary earn ers and businessmen in the towns and cities r the ordinary people who make up the great nes and strength of our country know that the Democratic Party is concerned about their welfare. They have learned again that the big interests which control the Republican Party are not. . By GOODWIN KNIGHT OF CALIFORNIA ' Written for the United Press I confidently believe Presi dent Eisenhower will be a suc cessful candidate for re-election in 1956. By his uncompromising in tegrity and tremendous capacity for leadership, he has earned the respect and confidence of the American people. He has demonstrated he keeps his word and the people will place implicit faith in his cam paign pledges. He has also made it clear he expects his associates to give undivided loyalty and honesty to the American people. "Restored Ascendency" His marvelous ability and ap titude in foreign affairs has re stored American ascendency in that field. . He has shown a rare quality of being able to work amicably with all kinds of people of var ious political persuasions and to achieve beneficial results for all the people. The people should, and I be lieve will, elect a Republican majority to Congress next, year to firmly fix responsibility in the President's party. Failure of the Democratic Congress to enact a federal highway program, school building assistance and other progressive domestic proposals of the President will work against Democratic incumbents next year. Democratic control of Cong ress is dependent, upon election of more liberal-minded North erners and Easterners. How ever, Democratic control of Congress means domination by that party's conservative S&uth ern bloc because of seniority rules in both houses on commit tee assignments. No Blocks, Knight Says Because we Republicans have no such predetermined blocs, membership in Congress from court party tends to change more frequently, to be younger and more vigorous. We have demonstrated in the West and elsewhere that Re publicans can merit and receive liberal and labor backing. ,If this can be projected nationally, our chances of winning Congress would be more materially enhanced. Reward for Killer Nears $10,000 Mark Kansas City, Mo. U.R) A reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the kidnap-killer of Mrs. Wilma Allen, slain wife of a wealthy Kansas City automobile dealer, neared $10,000 Saturday. The reward is being raised by the Kansas City Crime Com mission. It had reached $9250 when fund officials stopped counting Friday night. A Crime Commission spokesman said the $10,000 goal probably would be reached Saturday. Mrs. Allen, 34, pretty mother of two, was kidnaped Aug. 4. Her naked body, with two bul let wounds in the head, was found Aug. 7 in a Kansas wheat field. Her abandoned blue and white convertible was located in Kansas City. Blood on the back seat lead officers to think at first she was raped and slain in the car. But late Friday they announced, without elaboration, "strong evi dence" had been uncovered to show she may have been killed in "a building.' Malheur Police Given Bloodhound Ontario (U.R) Law en forcement agencies of Malheur county have added a blood hound to their forces. , Sheriff John Elfring said Glen Huggman of Nyssa offered the use . of the dog which ' he had trained. Huffman said he would obtain another dog if needed. The animal, used to trace mis sinb persons, , will be used as called for by county police.
