Bill for Federal Aid To Build Schools May Not Be Brought Out Washington OJ.R) Federal aid for building schools, once the hottest item on the congres sional agenda, was in cold stor age today with no positive assur ance it will ever come out. The Civil Rights fight is get ting most of the blame. Actually, a number of controversies are responsible. One involves the ticklish question of private and parochial schools. Nominally, at least, a $1,600, 000,000 school aid bill approved last July by the House Educa tion and Labor committee is still on the House docket for consid eration tentually. Belays Expected But under the latest of a long series of postponements, this will not be before April 9, and addi tional delays can be expected. Some members doubt the bill will be acted on at all. Speaker Sam Rayburn, before Congress convened on Jan. 3, put the school bill at the top of his must list. He said it probably would be taken up in the first 10 days of the session. President Eisenhower, with a related school bill of fns own, was asking fast action. House members general ly were predicting the bill would soon be approved. Currently, the bill has been laid to rest in the House Rules committee, and there , is little apparent pressure on the Rules committee to revive it. The com mittee plans more hearings, but these have not been set. What has happened?0 One source in close touch with the bill said the explanation is simple. In January, nobody knew much about details of the bill. They liked it in principle. Now, as the bill's provisions become better known, more and more members find features they don't like. Silent on Issue Integration was the first and still hottest issue to be raised against the measure. The bill it self is silent on this touchy issue. The House Civil Rights bloc said this mea that Southern schools which have announced Snake Man Injects Venom Into Blood Miami (U.R) Veteran snake handler William Haast started today to re-immunize himself against the bite of dead ly cobras. "Six months from now, I'll be completely safe from any cobra," said Haast, who plans to inject cobra venom into his blood stream once a week to "grme back in shape." Haast has been, bitten 51 times while milking the rep tiles at his serpentarium at nearby Kendall, Fla. He has just recovered from complete para lysis caused by the bite of a five-foot Siamese cobra in Jan uary. Haast was back at work, with his snakes two weeks after be ing bififen, but admitted that "until a few days ago I wasn't completely recovered. Now I feel fine." This was his 26th nerve-deadening cobra bite and he said be- plans to defy the Supreme Court's integration ruling would get federal money to build segre gated schools. They drafted amendments to block this. The bill's principal backers opposed the amendments as a threat to passage of the bill. President Eisenhower joined in the protest. Organized labor and other groups got into the act, mostly against the amendments. Southerners at this point threw their own monkey wrench. They said that with or without the integration amendment, the South was sure to be done out of its share. They maintained the government would simply refuse to pay. Though Education Commissioner Samuel Brownell said this wasn't necessarily so, the Southerners remained unconvinced. Knowland Will Urge Ike To Schedule Few Trips in Campaign Washington (U.R) Two Republican leaders have taken a nibble at the props under President Eisenhower's cam paign ruling against personal barnstorming. Senate GOP Leader William F. Knowland said yesterday he will urge Mr.JEisenhower to "go into a few key states" during the fall campaign to aid politically hard pressed congressmen. Stevenson Finds Minnesota Friendly Worthington, Minn. U,R) Barn-storming Adlai E. Steven son said today he feels Minne sota Democrats are "not at all unfriendly" to his candidacy for the presidency. Stevenson was frankly weary as he set out on the fourth" day of his vigorous stumping tour through Minnesota in search of votes in the state's March ' 20 presidential primary. But he said happily "I have come to the conclusion that Minnesota is not at all unfriend ly to my candidacy for . the toughest job on earth." He added that, after his brisk swing through the state, he is "no longer a stranger" to Min nesota voters. The Illinoisan was scheduled to make fast stops today at Mar shall, Montivideo, Willmar, Ben son, Morris, Alexander and Fergus Falls. He winds up his tour tomor row, the same day Sen. Estes Kefauver (D.-Tenn.) re - enters the state on his last bid for Min nesota's 30-vote delegation to the Democratic nominating con vention. Stevenson is scheduled for a return trip before the March 20 vote. Stevenson's top Minnesota supporters, Sen. Hubert Humph rey and Gov. Oroville Freeman, have been shepherding him about the state and setting a fast pace. The U. S. Army has many uses for cotton in guncotton, in the webbing and the covers for many types of equipment and tentages and uniforms. cause it paralyzed him he re alized he had become "over im munized." "It is important for a presi dential candidate to get out be yond television broadcasts from the White House," he said. Hall Close To Ike And Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.), former chairman of the GOP Senate Campaign Com mittee, predicted the President will "be doing some sort of barn storming when the chips are down." Republican National Chair man Leonard W. Hall also took up . the President s campaign plans. But he stayed close to Mr Eisenhower's self-imposed rul ing. Hall said Mr. Eisenhower's campaign trips will be kept' to a "minimum." He said at most that meant "a flight into a city and back not one which would cover many cities and many stops." Burden on Candidates Both Knowland and Gold water said the President's cam paign plans place a "greater bur den" on the other Republican candidates. However, House GOP Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. of Massa chusetts disagreed. He said Mr Eisenhower should appear at "a few" big political meetings across the national to "meet the people." But he said Mr. Eisenhower's plans to rely primarily on mass methods of communication will be "no handicap." Danube River Over Banks in Germany Frankfurt, Germany (U.R) The muddy Danube river, swol len from rain and melting ice and snow, inched into the streets of South German and Austrian towns today. Flood crews sandbagged river- banks and homes and evacuated families from homes threatened with disaster if the waters rise much higher. The Danube was over its banks at Passau, Germany, and Linz, Austria, and still rising. At Pas sau it was at the 33-foot level, still well under the 47 feet re corded in July, 1954, when 24 persons lost their lives. More than' 2,500 persons have left their homes in Passau. All but two public schools were closed. The Red Cross and the U. S. Army stood by ready to help. SAFE ENOUGH TO STORE OH YOUR OWN PROPERTY CLfcAntl?, CHtArtft, MORE EYEN HEAT OIL HEAT INSTITUTE (Medford Heating Oil Dealers) Notes From a Malaya Reporter's Book: Long Hours in Jungle To See Terrorist By ROBERT C. MILLER United Press Correspondent Singapore (U.R) Notes from a Malaya reporter's notebook: The average Commonwealth soldier spends 1,500 hours in Malaya's jungles before he sees a Communist terrorist . . . Some complete their three-year hitch here without ever spotting one . . . Asians resent being called Asiatics: they refer to you as an occidental. The phrase "white man" is now considered poor taste. Singapore's 1,200,000 people are overwhelmingly Chinese 77 per cent . . . Malaya's railroads are the best in Asia including Australia with 1,027 miles of track, air-conditioned sleepers and diners. Forty-four of its em ployees have been killed by ter rorists during the emergency and six were given hero's medals . . . The Taj Mahal-type station at Kuala Lumpur is about the most beautiful in the world Los Angeles' Union Station not excepted. Malaya Air Lines has a per fect safety record; no crashes; no casualties . . . The British armored cars called Ferrets have been most effective in Ma laya. The CT's Communist Ter rorists are scared to death of them . . . Fence manufacturers must have made millions in Ma laya. Miles and miles of meshed eight-foot high fencing enclose the rubber estates. Wonder who pays the light bill in this country; the kw consump tion must be the highest in the world for a rural area. Flood lights, fluorescents and spots bathe, the estates with light from sundown to sunrise . . . There has never been .any great drop in rubber or tin production dur ing the eight years of terrorism; just a jump in production costs. What this country needs is a few Eliza-chasing bloodhounds; the Labradors and Alsatians used by the police and military don't have the nose for the job . . . However, one Alsatian is cred ited with tracking down 12. CT's . . Commonwealth troops fight ing here include South Africans, Fijians, New Zealanders, Aus tralians, Sarawak scouts, Scots-' men, Welshmen, Gourkas and Englishmen.

He shoots golf in the low 70's . . . there were 9,000 terrorists fighting in 1948. Only about 3,000 are left, mostly in Johore State . . . Most of the tin mines are owned by Chinese. They brought their own armies to guard the mines in the 1880's. Terrorist leader Chin Peng j marched in the World War II j victory parade in London along side many of the men he is now fighting . . . The British are learning what the Americans found out in the South Pacific that shotguns are better weapons than rifles in the jungle ... A total of 13 jungle forts have now been built in the interior; most of them accessible only from the air. Some 20,000,000 surrender leaflets were dropped during the five-month amnesty, but only a few terrorists surrendered . . . Some 47,000 police are needed to maintain security in Malaya . . . the Air Supply Command airlifts- 800,000 pounds of sup plies a month to the jungle forts and isolated patrols . . . British Navy men are even fighting in Malaya; flying a squadron of helicopters given them by the U. S. Navy. In 1951 there were some 500 terrorist incidents a month. The average is now down to 53 . . , The only occidental troops with out a beer and rum ration are the elite deep jungle fighters the Special Air Service unit members who spend two-month stretches in the jungle; they're also the only occidental troops who live on rice ...
