Ike, George Fail To Heal Breach
On Aspects of Foreign Policy
Washington U.R) Demo
crats and Republicans remained
split over some aspects of for
eign policy today despite the
President's effort Xo heal the
breech at a meeting with Sen.
"Walter F. George.
The influential Georgia Dem
ocrat, chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations committee, de
clined to discuss details of his
one-hour talk late Monday with
Mr. Eisenhower and Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles, who
was present most of the time.
Opposition Not Softened
But observers gained the im
pression that George, chief Dem
ocratic foreign policy spokes
man in Congress, had not soften
ed in his determined opposition
to the President's proposal for
putting foreign aid on a basis
of long-term commitments.
Reporters planned to question
Dulles about the White House
meeting at the secretary's news
conference today.
George said he was only pay
ing a "private, social call" on
the President and that any com
ment on what they discussed
would have to come from Mr.
Eisenhower.
But it was obvious in advance
that the goodwill visit was aim
ed at trying to enlist George's
support of a long-term foreign
aid commitments and at soft
ening Democratic criticism - of
Dulles' "brink of war" state
ments. Knowland Renews Support
Senate Republican leader Wil
liam F. Knowland (Calif.), who

Primaries Not To Be
Accurate Indication
Of Knowland Strength
Washington (u.R) Senate
Republican Leader William F.
Knowland was edging into state
presidential primaries today but
under conditions which provid
ed no accurate measure of his
strength.
If President Eisenhower de
cides to run again, Knowland
will support him. If the Presi
dent declines because of his
heart attack, Knowland's early
showing will offer no gauge of
his strength in relation to other
possible candidates.
Entered in Two Primaries
The California senator's name
was entered Monday in the Il
linois GOP presidential primary
April 10 and in the Alaska pri
mary April 24. Gov. William G.
Stratton previously had entered
Mr. Eisenhower in Illinois.
In neither Illinois nor Alaska
is a candidate's consent required
nor are the votes binding on
the delegates. Knowland's name
was entered in both without any
advance declaration of candidacy
although he has long been known
to be a candidate if Mr. Eisen
hower should decide to retire.
Knowland responded by an
nouncing that he would not ask
that his name be withdrawn. He
cited "uncertainties" about Mr.
Eisenhower's intentions and the
fact that the President had in
vited other possible candidates
to enter state primaries.
No Other Intentions Known
No other potential Republican
candidates have shown Know-

land's willingness to enter pres
idential primaries, and none is
expected to do so while Mr. Eis-:
enhower's plans remain un
known. Hence, until Mr. Eisenhower
announces his plans, there is
little chance of getting a vote
on a number of candidates in
the primaries. Both the Presi
dent and Knowland have pro
fessed to want such a vote.
The Knowland vote in Illinois
would have to be regarded in
part as a measure of dissatisfac
tion with Mr. Eisenhower's pol
icies rather ' than '-a test of his
strength against other potential
candidates.
Government Stocks
At Record Total
Washington (U.R) The Agri
culture Department reports its
stocks of wheat, corn, oats, sor
ghum grain, and barley on Jan.

retary Monday night.

advocate that the United States

Eight Persons Perish In Two House Fires
By UNITED PRESS
Two fires killed eight persons
today and in Ohio workmen
plugged a gasoline pipeline leak
which threatened the lives of
400 persons.
The worst tragedy was at Mil
ford, Conn., where the bodies
of five persons were found in
the charred wreckage of a two
story frame house.
A group of boys spotted" the
burning house and saw a 12-year-old
boy leap from a win
dow. Firemen were summoned,
but could not get into the house
because of the oven-like heat.
When the flames were extin
guished, firemen found the bod
ies of Julian Junsch, about 43,
his wife, about 35 a six-year-old
son; and Mrs. Junsch's par
ents. The boy who escaped was
Junsch's 11-year-old son, Rich
ard. In Chicago, another home fire
killed a father and two children
a few hours after they had mov
ed into a South Side basement
apartment.
Firemen said an oil stove ex
ploded, touching off a fire which
raced through the three-room
apartment. Firemen found the
bodies of Fidel Rievera, 55, his
daughter, Francisca Crespo, 12,
and her brother, Fidel Crespo,
8, in a bedroom.
Disaster Prevented
Quick action prevented a pos
sible disaster at Solon, O. when
highly explosive gasoline fumes
began leaking from an eight
inch pipeline. v
Workmen using detectors
found that the pipeline was leak
ing fumes into a sewer. The
leak was plugged immediately
shortly after midnight.
Earlier, residents of the Cleve
land suburb had been calling
authorities complaining of fumes
that gave them headaches. Resi
dents were warned not to light
any fires until the leak was
found.
Girl Scouts
Troop 114 ,
Brownie Troop 114, ' led by
Mrs. William Frederick, at a De
cember meeting, made green felt
coin purses, which were given
to the girl's mothers for Christ
mas. The girls were presented.
Brownie lapel pins by their lead
ers in return for their good co
operation and attendance dur
ing the year.
