BAREFOOT BEAUTY This is
the pretty "nature girl," Dorothy
Brown, 16, discovered in a re
mote woodland near Mooresville,
N.C., by a newspaper reporter
looking for a moonshine still.
His story led a group of anony

money for her education and

Authorization for
Foreign Aid Gels
Approval in House
Washington (1P Presi
dent Eisenhower in a suddenly
called news conference late to
day told reporters he is pre
pared to call Congress into
special session late . this year
if it does not pass a foreign
aid bill sufficient to meet na
tional security requirements.
Washington (IP) The
House today completed congres-
J 1 li 1 1 r 1 HUEHUVHl 1 1 7 k; imh miii
authorizing a $3,366,000,000
foreign aid program for the cur
rent fiscal year.
It passed by a vote of 226 to
163 a compromise bill which the
Senate approved Tuesday night.
This cleared the way for a
new and possibly bitter congres
sional fight over appropriating
the actual cash.
Sent To White House
The bill authorizing the pro
gram was sent to the White
House for President Eisenhow
er's approval. Although it was
S428 million less than the $3,
864,000,000 asked by Eisenhow
er, the President was believed
certain to sign it.
Immediately after passing the
authorization bill, the House
gave permission to its Appropri
ations Committee to bring the
foreign aid money bill to the
house floor as early as Thurs
day. The approtpriations measure
was almost sure to be less than
the total authorized in today's
bill.
Speaker Sam Rayburn said
before today's action that the
House would provide "sufficient
monev" to carry on the foreign
aid program. But he wouldn't
predict precisely how' much.

Postal Rate Boost
Seen Headed for
Storage in Senate
Pay Increase Expected
To Be Vetoed by Ike
Washington OP) A House
passed administration bill boost
ing the cost of mailing a letter
one cent today hadead for al
most certain cold storage in the
Senate.
The House passed the $500
million a year bill on a 256-129
roll call Tuesday night with al
most solid GOP support.
Veto Predicted
But the Senate was expected
not to act- on it this year al
though it appeared certain to
pass bills boosting the postal
pay and other federal workers.
Republicans have predicted
President Eisenhower will veto
the pay raise bills.
The postal rate bill would
raise the cost of first class mail
one penny, requiring a four-cent
stamp on regular letters, a seven-cent
stamp on air mail and
a three-cent stamp on post cards.
Send, third and fourth class
mailrates also would be raised,
increasing the cost of mailing
newspapers magazines, adver
tising matter and books.
Amendment Adopted
The House also adopted an
amendment to limit the second
class mail "subsidy" received by
any publication to $100,000 a
year. It was approved by a tell
er vote of 171 to 147.
Some members said the pro
posal would have a crippling
impact on many national pub
lications since second class rates
traditionally have been far be
low actual mailing costs.
257 Pints of Blood
Donated Yesterday
A total of 257 pints, 33 short
of the 290-pint quota, were col
lected during the regular visit
of the Red ' Cross Bloodmobile
here yesterday.
Red Cross officials said 295
persons volunteered to donate
blood, and there were 38 re
jected. Officials blamed the shortage
of volunteers on summer vaca
tions and the fruit harvest sea
son. There were 8 new donors lur
ing yesterday's visit, an unusual
ly, high number of new volun
teers, officials said. Usual num
ber is 30 to 40, they added.
Elk Lumber company made
appointments for 49 of their em
ployees, the Red Cross office
said.
During the Bloodmobile visit
the Rogue Valley hospital re
quested and received two pints
of A negative blood for a sur
gery case yesterday.
Commission Issues

The new withholding rates

Polish Transport
Strike Ended by
Federal Seizure
Investigation of
Demands Promised
Lodz, Poland API Poland's
greatest strike since the Poznan
rebellion ended today with gov
ernment seizure of a strike-bound
streetcar depot and a promise to
investigate transport workers'
demands for a living wage.
Buses and streetcars were run
ning for the first time in two
days but with "workers militia''
guarding the drivers.
Militia Occupies Depot
Polish army troops and mil
itia occupied the suburban Doin
broaski Depot today and evicted
the sit down strikers there.
Newsmen arrived . at the scene
after the action was over but
saw two ambulances and a po
lice wagon leaving the scene.
This action indicated that
some workers attempted to hold
out for a third day and had to be
removed by force. The back of
the walkout had been broken
earlier when about 80 per cent
of the strikers agreed to return
to work.
The government rushed in re
inforcements of troops and mil
itia from Warsaw Tuesday when
the situation became tense and
ugly' but not major outbreaks of
violence erupted. There were a
few scattered clashes in addition
to this morning's action.
Service Erratic
An estimated 88 per cent of
the city trolleys were operating
today, but service appeared
slow and erratic.

Showdowns were expected be

Backed by Administration
Although both were in for
heavy criticism for their views
and policies, there were no signs
that the opposition was strong
enough to defeat either nomina
tion. The Eisenhower adminis
tration stoutly defended both.
Sen. Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore.)

Tuesday night. But the former
Washington state public utility
commissioner was defended by
Sen. Arthur V. Watkins (R-Utah)

Kuykendall, a resident of
Olympia, Wash., served on the
FPC and was its chairman from
1953 until his term expired June
22. He was renominated by Ei

Study To Determine
Full Share of Cars
Salem (IP) The Governor's
Transportation committee to
day ordered an immediate study
by the Public Utility commis
sioner of the boxcar situation
in California .and Washington to
determine whether Oregon is
getting its full share of cars.
Committee Chairman George
Brown, legislative director of
the Oregon State Labor council,
said the committee was making
the study in an effort to find
some new answers to the recur
rent boxcar shortage problem in
Oregon.
10 Per Cent Shortage
Clifford W. Ferguson, director
of rail, transportation for the
PUC, told the committee there
was a 10 per cent shortage of
cars for agricultural and lum
ber shippers in Oregon now.
Ferguson said that unless ac
tion was taken by the Southern
Pacific, the situation could be
come serious rapidly. August
and September are usually
months of peak car demand in
Oregon.
A surplus of 3,000 cars exist
ed in Oregon about three weeks
ago, .Ferguson said, but the rail
road has let the supply dwindle
until a shortage exists.
Committee members from
southern Oregon said shortages
in their areas were more se
vere than in other sections of
the state. . ' c
Complicating the car shortage
problem was the fact that new
higher rail rates will go into ef
fect Aug. 26 by Interstate Com
merce commission ruling. That
was expected to bring on in
creased demand for cars next
week.
National Surplus
Ferguson said the Southern
Pacific has contended that rail
shipments were off in Oregon
and that the company could not
afford to keep bigsurpluses on
hand. However, Fergusons aid
there is a national surplus of
cars and Oregon shipments for
July were only off one car from
July, 1956.
J. W. Corbett of the Southern
Pacific has said the Oregon car
shortage problem was "receiv
ing all possible attention!" The
SP owns a higher percentage of
its own cars than most other,
roads.
