Eisenhower Clan Observes
John's Birthday Saturday
Washington rat The Eis
enhower clan gathered for a rare
Washington week-end last night
to celebrate the 35th birthday
of Maj. John Eisenhower, only
on of the President and First
Lady.
Mrs. Eisenhower flew back to
Washington from a six-day stay
in Denver where she visited her
mother and attended the dedi
cation of a park named In her
own honor.
: The President played golf yes
terday morning at the suburban
Burning Trees club.

Do-lf-Yourself
Movement Saves
Small Coal .Town
Cecil, Pa. HP) A do-it-yourself
formula has saved Cecil
from becoming a ghost town.
Three years ago dismay swept
this western Pennsylvania com
munity when U.S. Steel Corp
oration shut down National No.
3 coal mine. This meant the
loss of jobs for 600 miners. "Old
No. 3" wasaworked out.
Sympathy mounted for the
residents. Congressmen and
senators pledged aid.
But 'in time the sympathy
ebbed. Witfi Cecil residents fac
ing economic disaster, their only
alternative seemed to be to
move out of the town where
thev had lived for years.
The end of "Old No. 3" was
another in a series of financial
disasters that included bank
scandals and fires.
Finally the residents emerged
from their numbness. They real
ized that if anyone was to save
the town thev were to do it
themselves.
The churches started the
movement towards recovery.
The drive gained impetus with
a "Save Cecil Committee." The
efforts were climaxed by find
ing new Jobs for the 600 idled
miners.
Firms Move In
There is visible evidence of
the movement's success. The
new $100,000 United Presby
terian Church rises from a
knoll on the edse of the town.
The red brick edifice trimmed
in white replaced the old church
which was destroyed by fire
during Easter 1954, the town's
blackest period.
At the other end of town is a
new recreation hall with large
picture windows. A spacious
store fire house erected by vol
unteer - labor and financed by
public donations is another
example of community spirit.
The huge mine tipple was
torn down, and on the site sev
eral hundred new homes were
built. Several Pittsburgh firms
have been moving to Cecil to
take advantage of a low tax
rate. U.S. Steel sold' the 157-
acre site of "Old No. 3" to a
chemical firm that is constantly
exDandinz.
A road-building firm has lo
cated in Cecil because of the
availability of supplies from the
mountainous slag piles.
The skilled labor pool, good
transportation (only 30 minutes
from Pittsburgh), the low tax
rate and dozens of industrial
sites are Cecil's selling points.
"Other mining towns have
given up and died, but not Ce
cil," is the way the CecU story
va summed up by John Quinn,
president of the industrial de-j
velopment group.

The President's brother, Dr.

Utah Stale Prison
Inmates Hold 14 '
Women as Hostages
Point of the Mountain, Utah
W Sixteen Utah state prison
inmates were held in segrega
tion cells Saturday while au
thorities investigated a brief and
bloodless riot in which 20 per
sons, including 14 women, were
held hostage Friday night.
Acting Warden Walter D.
Achuff , who cut short a vacation
to return here, said he was "ex
tremely pleased" with handling
of the disturbance. A major riot
rocked the 'prison only last Feb
ruary. Achuff said the flare-up was
not a riot but the work ol a hard
core of long-term inmates. "A
great majority of the prisoners
actually feel chagrined over the
actions of the few," he said.
Capture Women
The trouble began Friday
evening when a small band of
convicts, armed with knives
and baseball bats, charged onto
a recreation hall stage. As host
ages they took 14 women mem
bers of a "Kitchen Rhythmette"
band who were entertaining in
mates with numbers played on
wash tubs, scrub boards and
and kitchen utensils.
Also captured briefly were
three men who accompanied the
women to the prison and three
prison officials.
All hostages were released un
harmed after prison guards car
rying sawed-off shotguns and
pistols threatened to rush the
troublemakers.
Achuff said he thought only
a few of the 16 segregated in
mates actually were behind the
trouble. They will face a dicipli
nary board Monday.
The acting warden said none
of the inmates had given an ex
planation for the disturbance.
"Normally you might think this
was an attempt at escape or for
bargaining, b;it net in this case,"
he said. He said morale at the
prison was high today and most
inmates appeared glad the
troublemakers had been taken
irom their midst.
King's Visit Biggest
Clipping Bureau Job
New York HP tVlovie stars
seem to be most frequently in
the news, but the three biggest
jobs ever tackled by Luce press
clipping bureau concerned a
king, a labor union and a key
note speech.
The bureau collected over 30,
000 newspaper clippings in a
single month on the American
visit of Saudi Arabia's King
Saud. The largest previous order
was for a labor union that want
ed clippings about a 1956 strike.
More tlian 16.000 clippings were
sent in a month. Democratic key
noter Gov. Frank G. Clement, of
Tennessee, also pulled 16.000
clippings for his convention
speech in 1956.
Grasses Convert
Once-Wasted Lands
To Livestock Feed
New York (IP) America Is
undergoing a "grass revolution"
that is enabling farmers from
Florida to California to convert
millions of acres of once-wasted
land into a rich source of live
stock feed.
Steelways, official publication
of American Iron and Steel In
stitute, said there are now 4,000
known varieties of grass and
that within a generation or two
the geneticists and chemists
may double that number and
put tens of thousands of idle
acres to work and add income
and stability to the farm opera
tion. The publication said that
steel machines that plant and
harvest grass can create as much
change in the land and eco
nomic practices of the United
States during the next half cen
tury as the automobile " created
during the past 50 years. It
added:
Yield Tripled
'They enable deserts, moun
tains and dunes tp become rich
cropland, tripling the yield of
half the nation's lands and de
veloping them as the largest
livestock producers on earth."
Steelways said the national
grass crop last year was valued
at more than IS billion dollars
equal to the combined incomes
of the mining and chemical in
dustries. From it came nearly
three-fifths of all our foods,
much of our fibers and hundreds
of other useful products.
It said the changes created
in Bermuda grass, once a major
pest of the South's cotton fields,
are typical of the .grass revolu
tion sparked by a few hundred
scientists and the new machines.
Steelways says that these
changes now mean that more
livestock can be carried on less
acreage and will enable this
country to fatten the 500 million
food animals which are annually
required to keep pace with the
population increase and the rise
in living standards.
Burgess Says Higher
Interest Rates May
Help Check Inflation
i Washington Of! Undersecre

will save the- nation from "in

Ivy League Man Says
Let the Kids Pay
Cambridge, Mass. (IPI Dr.
Seymour E. Harris of Harvard
University thinks he has the an
swer to the problem of higher
education. He would let each
student foot the entire bUl.
Right now, he said, too many
parents are getting what
amounts to a free ride on the
coattails of either the universi
ties or the taxpayers.
"In any Ivy League univers
ity," he said, "tthe average fam
ily income runs from $12,000 to
$20,000. Yet the college charges
$800 to $1,000 tuition and then
subsidizes each student for an
other $1,000 out of its endow
ment. "I think that every student
should pay the full cost of his
education. If he is poor, then.he
should pay all he can at the
time. The rest he should pay out
over his lifetime."
Dr. Harris, chairman of Har
vard's economics department,
has been given a $70,000 grant
from the Fund for -the Advance
ment of Education for an extend
ed study of the economics of
private education.
He wound up a week-long ap
pearance before the senate fin
ance committee with defense of
the administration tight money
policies after an attack by Sen.
Robert S. Kerr (D-Okla.). The
committee wants to know what
is behind the policy.
Kerr, a committee member,
declared that Burgess and for
mer Secretary of the Treasury
George M. Humphrey had hand
ed taxpayers and interest pay
ers "a long legacy that will reach
15 billion dollars" in a bigger
debt through higher interest
rates. .
Kerr, who charged in a recent
senate speech that President Ei
senhower had no "fiscal brains,"
said Eisenhower wpuld not be
able to fully explain his own
administration financial policies
"if his life depended on it."
Retiring Soon
Burgess, who is retiring from
office soon, said history had
shown that hiking interest pay
ments was an effective means of
checking inflation.
"If this country does not fol
low policies of this sort," he
said, "the cost of inflation will
cost it infinitely more than any
increase in interest rates."
Kerr, who questioned Burgess
for hours, praised his ability and
noted that he had succeeded in
putting more policies in effect
while in office than anyone ex
cept Secretary of, Agriculture
Ezra Taft Benson.
Benson's Policies
But Benson's policies resulted
in "practically liquidating" the
family size farm, Kerr said,
while Burgess had been able to
crash the "barrier of the four
per cent interest rate" on gov
ernment securities.
Under questioning, by Sen.
George W. Makme (R-Nev.) Bur
gess agreed that cutting down
on government appropriations
would help check inflation.
Malone said "congress is re
sponsible for inflation" because
"we appropriate the meney." He
added that it is worse for a Re
publican administration to spend
so much because "Republicans
ought to know better."

cratic administration was d5

UNAVAILABLE SALT
r Johannesburg ttf! Loch Ma
ree, second biggest salt lake in
the world, lies 160 miles north
of Upington, in the northeast of
Cape Province. Experts calculate
that the salt in the lake is worth
about 20,000,000 pounds, clear
and pure enough for domestic
use. The one snag in the way
of exploiting this great deposit
said to be four feet deep is th
vast area of shifting sand dunes
surrounding the lake. The dunes
make transport of the salt impossible.
