Housewives Rally Against Senator's
Appeal for More Homemade Bread
Det.Qt UPI 'Td rather
die than have to take time
to bake my own bread' was
one womarO answer to a ca&
for Amtvtcan housewives to
man their ovens in a fight
against "adulterated store
bought bread."
An anonymous delcte to
the 67th annual convention
of the General Federation of
"Women's clubs said she just
didn't have time to bake her
own bread, and tongue in
ctek, said "I'd rather die
first."
To Charg
Her answer came to a
charge by Rep. Usher L. Bur
dic (R-N.D.) that women are
too busy with parties and en
tertainment to watch over the
Phealth of the family. The 79-
year-old congressman said

Students Protest
Release of Watero
Portland (UPI) A peti
tion signed by 500 David
Douglas high school students
Wednesday urged govern
ment agency or private organi
zation to alert the public, to
dangers of rapidly rising tiv
ers due to water released
from dams.
The petition followed the
drowning death May 17 of
David Reed, a sophomore at
David Douglas. Reed drowned
in the Clackamas river when
trapped by rapidly rising
waters released from a dam.
The petition suggests posting
of ' all roads and trails leading
to water which could be af
fected by dam releases.
Grover Cleveland, the 22nd
and 24th president of the Un
ited States, once was a teach
er in the New York City In
stitution for the Blind.
Summer temperatures in
some places in the U. S. are
higher than is usual in the
tropics, according to the Na
tional Geographic Society.
It was, I recall, just a little
bit after seven when the storm
hit. Suddenly it became black
as midnight. I looked out of
the window. A huge white
sheet of mist was moving in
on the town.
At first I thought it just was
going to be a real heavy
storm. Then I saw the trees
weren't bending: They were
horizontal.
Trees Snap
Then the trees, big ones,
mind you, not saplings, snap
ped like match sticks. Several
large homes shot through the
air like dolls' houses and
landed two, three blocks from
their foundations.
I'll never foget what it
sounded like. It was like blast
ing in a quarry. It went
"thoom-thoo m" like the
ground was going to open up
and then there came the rain
and the hail.
As soon as the tornado had
passed I grabbed my first aid
kit and joined Colfax's two
other doctors, an M.D. and a
veterinarian, to help the in
jured. , . .
Like a Battlefield
I saw a man lying in the
street with a two-by-two wood
en plank driven through his
chest. He was dead. I ran to
ward two other persons. They
were dead, too. It was like a
battlefield. . '
I ran from house to house.
People huddled in their base
ments. Adults cried, children
screamed. A number of per
sons were incoherent and in
a state of shock. It was so sud
den. It was so awful. God.
the wheat used in store
bought bread was the "poor
est of the wheat," and gen
erally bemoaned the fate of
modern Americans who come
home to face this bread.
Mrs. Stanley O'Hair, South
Bend, Ind., said she never
took the time to bake her
own bread because it might
not be edible and she had
faith in the "vitamin-enriched"'
bread on the market.
Why Take Chance?
Other general reactions
were, "Why take the extra
time, when time can be spent
to better advantage other
wise?" "My children are
healthy" and finally a per
haps valuable cross-challenge
"Doesn't this representa
tive of the people have better
things to worry about than
whether American families
are - eating home-baked
bread?"

Ike Would Give
Economic Aid
To Satellites
Washington (UPI) Presi
dent Eisenhower said today
he wants discretionary au
thority to give economic aid
to Iron Curtain satellites but
opposes putting such a pro
vision in the foreign aid au
inorizanon Dill pending . in
the Senate.
The chief executive's posi
tion was reported by Senate
Republican Leader William
F. Knowland after the regu
lar weekly meeting of GOP
congressional leaders with
the President.
Knowland said Eisenhower
is in favor of such discretion
ary authority but believes it
should be handled as separate
legislation and not as an
amendment to the foreign aid
measure now being debated
in the Senate.
Would Amend Act
Knowland, who has been
leading opposition to the pro
posed discretionary amend
ment, said the President be
lieves the matter should be
handled by amending the
came Act wnicn now pro
hibits economic aid to Iron
Curtain countries.
Knowland said he will con
tinue to oppose the plan- even
as separate legislation. But
he conceded that it would
have a better chance of pass
age if handled separately
from the foreign aid bill.
Knowland has said he does
not "buy, and will not sup
port" the idea that economic
aid should be advanced to
nations bound to Russia un
der the terms of the Warsaw
Pact.

Hoards of 'hoppers were
also reported spreading
through Colorado and Okla
homa. So far, the grasshoppers
are small enough so they can
be controlled by spraying
fields. But, 4Cansas farmers
are hoping their crops, espe
cially wheat, ripen rapidly so
harvest, three weeks away,
will be over before the 'hop
pers get too big.
No Alarm Seen Yet
Ellsworth Sherman, Gar
den City, Kan., one of the
state's largest wheat growers,
said he could see no cause
for alarm yet. He said the
grasshoppers are numerous,
but small.
But Alvin E. Lowe, agro
nomist at Kansas State Col
lege's experimental farm at
Garden City, said the little
'hoppers are growing so fast
they may become "very seri
ous" by harvest time.

their chance at the first money
crops in seven years, have
called emergency meetings to
fight the infestation.
