D. C. He grew up in Princeton,
Ky., and was married there on

Reminder Issued
On Tree Planting
Residents planting trees were
reminded today to plant them
at least five feet from the water
service line running under
ground from the street to the
house.
Robert Lee. city water super
intendent, said roots of trees
planted too close to water lines

damage the lines.
The Medford city council re
cently adopted an ordinance al
lowing trees to be planted in
some sections of Medford. Plant
ing of trees is still prohibited in
most areas of the city.
Lee also said the Hawk water
line, running on Wabash ave.
from Stevens to Spring sts., will
be turned off between 8:30 a.m.

ice will be discontinued tempor
arily while fire hydrants are in

he decides to play a round of
golf?" he asked in a weekly
newsletter to constituents.
Neuberger blamed "irresponsi
ble political statements about the
$72 billion budget" for com
plaints he has been receiving
about Eisenhower's personal ex
penses. Not Used for Golf
These complaints, he said, are
"tantamount to some hard press
ed British taxpayer grumbling
over the royal family. If the
throne were totally abolished,
taxes in England still would be
astronomically high."
Eisenhower has never gone to
Burning Tree Golf Course by
helicopter and became visibly
angry when a reporter recently
asked him about it. He denied
that two recently secured $60,

for that purpose.
Dulles Would Make
Foreign Aid Part
Of Defense Budge
Revolving Fund for
Economic Aid Loans
Washington (U.R) Secre
tary of State John Foster Dulles
proposed today that foreign mil
itary aid be made a part of the
defense budget in the future.
Dulles also recommended that
a $750 million revolving fund
be set up to handle foreign ec
onomic aid on a loan basis.
The secretary, in testimony,
before a special Senate Foreign
Aid committee, proposed further
that so-called "defense support"
indirect military aid be au
thorized on a continuing basis.
Congress would appropriate
money for it annually as it does
with other continuing programs.
Administration's Answer
Dulles' recommendations were
viewed as the administration's
answer to warnings that the for
eign aid program is in real trou
ble among congressmen unless
the administration comes up
with a new approach.
The proposed switch of mili
tary aid to the defense budget
would reduce the size of the
foreign assistance bill. But the
cut would be added to defense
appropriations.
The special Senate committee
is making an overall long range
study of U. S. aid programs over
seas. President Eisenhower has
not yet formally submitted this
year's $4,400,000,000 aid pro
gram to Congress. He is expect
ed to do so later this month.
Long Range Fund
Dulles recommended that a
long range economic develop
ment fund be set up after the
fiscal year starting July 1. He
said it "might come to reach
$750 million a year."
The secretary of state oppos
ed, however, suggestions that
the foreign aid program be re
moved from the International
Cooperation Administration and
placed under the State Depart
ment. He said good administra
tion "does not require throwing
into the Department of State
heavy operating responsibil
ities." Unless there is a change in
the "international climate," Dul
les said, direct military aid
spending will "need to continue
for some years at a" level close
to the present." Military aid
now runs close to $3 billion a
year.
Cardinal Segura,
Noted Spanish
Prelate, Dies
Madrid (U.R) Pedro Cardi
nal Segura, Spain's most con
troversial prelate, died early
Monday at the age of 76. He had
warred alike on Protestants and
politicians but he died "forgiv
ing everybody and asking for
giveness of everybody."
Segura's long and tumultuous
clerical life was marked by open
clashes with Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco whom he constant
ly snubbed, and by differences
with others of Catholic church
until he dropped from public
life in 1954.
Heart Weakened
The cardinal, Archbishop of
Sevilla,- had been suffering for
months from a kidney ailment,
but his heart and blood circula
tion system also were weaken
ed. Death had been expected for
the past 48 hours and he received
the last sacraments on Saturday
morning and took communion
Sunday.
During his career Pedro Car
dinal Segura y Saenz, arch
bishop Cardinal of Segura, gain
ed an international reputation as
a bitter enemy of protestantism
in Spain where Catholicism is
the state religion, and as an
equally bitter opponent of
Franco's regime.
His clashes with the Spanish
chief of state were numerous,
and he extended his opposition
to international accords which
he felt would strengthen Franco's
position in Spain. Spain's 1953
agreement to provide military
bases for the United States drew
his fire because he said it would
propogate the spread of protes
tantism. Youthful Pedestrian

U.S. Offers To
Mothball Weapons
In Disarming Step
Major Powers Would
Follow Under Plan
London (U.R) The United
States conditionally offered to
day to join the other major
powers in mothballing 25 per
cent of conventional weapons as
a first big step towsrd world dis
armament. The condition is that a trial
cut of 10 per cent in armaments
and additional reductions in
military manpower first prove in
practice that international dis
armament will work.
Put Before Subcommittee
U.S. Delegate Harold Stassen
put the new proposal before the
United Nations five-power dis
armament subcommittee at its
99th session in four years of,
work.
Stassen already had proposed
last month th?t Russia, the
United States, Britain, France
and Canada start the ball rolling
toward disarmament by agree
ing to put 10 per cent of all non
nuclear weapons in mothballs at
"disarmament depots" which
U.N. observers would guard.
The condition is that a trial
cut of 10 per cent in .armaments
and additional reductions in
military manpower first prove in
practice that international dis
armament will work.- J. '
" At the same time, according to
this first step, the United States
and Russia would trim their mili
tary manpower to 2.5 million
men apiece, with Britain and
France cutting to a maximum
figure of 750,000 men.
Stassen added the new pro
posal today that if this test stage
works out, another 15, per cent
of weapons be put in mothballs
under international control.
This would add up to an over
all cutback of 25 per cent.

storm clouds dumped heavy, wet
snow on the Midwest and East.
The tornado cut a swath four
miles long and a quarter of a
mile wide near Tupelo, Miss. It

other homes. Most residents had
taken refuge in storm cellars
and no one was reported injured.
Many Schools Closed
A belt of heavy snow fell
from Illinois to New York state,
and the storm forced many
schools to close in Northern
Ohio.
The snow piled 10 inches deep
in Toledo, Ohio, and there was
eight inches at Goshen, Irid., six
inches in Central Illinois and
three inches at Erie, Pa.
The Rockies and Western

Vessel To Sail
Despite Warning
Of Destruction
Salvage Ships Remove
Last Canal Obstacle
By UNITED PRESS
Israeli officials said today they
would go ahead with plans to
send a test ship through the Suez
Canal despite a Cairo warning
that any such ship would be
"destroyed on the spot."
The Egyptian warning was
printed in the Cairo weekly Akh
bar Elyom and was directed at
Israeli ships seeking to use
either the Suez Canal or the Gulf
of Aqaba.
Last Obstacle Removed
United Nations salvage vessels
removed the Egyptian frigate
Abukir, the last obstacle block
ing the Suez Canal, from the har
bor at Port Suez Monday and
started towing it northward to
ward the Great Bitter Lakes.
Israel still was celebrating the
arrival of an American tanker at
Eilat this week end, the first
American vessel to sail through
the Strait of Tiran since Egypt
imposed a blockade in 1948.
Cargo of Oil
The tanker, the 10,000-ton
Kern Hills with 16,000 tons of
oil, passed through the straits '
without incident and began un
loading its oil at Israel's new
port of Eilat while the nation
celebrated.
The Cairo French language
newspaper La Bourse Egyptienne
warned the United States and
Britain that such moves as bring
ing in tankers for Israel could
endanger their oil supplies.
It said the U.S. tanker deal
could not have been concluded
without Washington's knowledge
and that Washington was "thus
engaging in a policy whose con
sequences can easily be pre
dicted." It said the oil for Israel could
have come only from Iran or
other Persian Gulf Arab states
and that the two western powers
had "better reckon with the
views of the oil producing coun
tries of the Middle East."
Isrhel Demands Rights
Israeli officials expressed
cautious hope the passage of the
tanker would lead the Arabs to
relax their economic boycott but
they proceeded with plans to de
velop the port city and to build
a pipeline to bypass the Suez
Canal.
Gideon Rafael, Foreign Minis
try counsellor and recently
special adviser to the U.N. dele
gation, confirmed that Israel
"would of course send a ship
through" the canal. He said it
was Israel's right which would
be used as a matter of course.
