Twining Says Ike's
Photography Trade
Is Step to Peace
San Francisco tfU.R) Gen
Nathan F. 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.

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.
