Don't pay too much atten tion' to scattering rifle fire. There are many rifles in the Middle East ,and a lot of nervous trigger fingers. TN the TJ. N. the expected happens. Russia vetoes the United States resolution to send an international police force into Lebanon under the United Nations flag. If that had been done, U. S. troops would have been withdrawn. That happened in what is known as the Security Coun cil. The United States moved immediately to call the U.N. General Assembly into ses sion to consider the plan to send in an international police force to handle the situation. The General Assembly is a Knowland Lauds Ike's Proposal Washington (UPD Senate Republican leader William F. Knowland (Calif.) Tuesday night praised President Eisen hower's proposal for a top level United Nations meeting on the Mideast crisis as "strong and forthright." Congressional reaction to the President's reply to Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrush chev was generally favorable. Knowland, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations , committe, said he thought the proposal contained necessary safeguards "to preserve the peace, so nations wouldn't live in fear of external ag gression or external subver sion." Knowland said Tuesday he thought the U.S. could deal a "fatal blow" to the inde pendence of Lebanon by with drawing troops unless armed U.N. forces replaced them. Democrats to give immedi ate support to the President's proposal were Sens. Mike Mansfield (Mont.), Mike Mon roney (Okla.), Warren Mag nuson (Wash.) and J. William Fulbright (Ark.). Trombonist Gains; To Quit Hospital San Francisco (UPD Dixie land trombonist Edward (Kid) Ory, 71, was expected to leave St. Luke's hospital today, where he has been recuperat ing from an operation. Ory has been seriously ill as a result of excessive bleed ing following the prostate operation. However, doctors succeded in stopping the bleeding a few days ago and Ory has been up and around since then. He received- 38 pints of blood in transfusions. . Brmml-Unitod States .

(UPD No. one S swimming in the Bosque river these days. Despite an intensive two-day search of ($he river by parties in boats, on fqpt, on horseback and in helicopters, Albert the alliga tor, who escaped from Cen tral Texas Zoo at Waco Sun day, was still at large today. step above the Security Coun cil It COULD override the Russian veto. A word of advice: Don't expect too much in the way of constructive and decisive action from United Nations. It's a rather weak reed to lean on unfortunately. T SUPPOSE you've noted the - anti-American "demonstra tion" in Moscow. An "angry" mob of Russians gathers in front of the Ameri can embassy and, screams "GET OUT OF LEBANON" and throws stones and ink bot tles. Russian troops are called and quiet the mob of some 20,000 persons after all the windows in the first three stories of our embassy build ing were smashed. Don't, pay too much atten tion to that as a sign of Ameri can unpopularity. It's a part of the communist war of nerves. It wasn't spontaneous. It was PUMPED UP for a purpose. The communist authorities passed the word to their stooges to go and do it, so they went and did it. Dedicated communists are disciplined and obedient. Therein lies a lot of commu nist Russia's power to do mis chief in the world. WHAT is it all about? It's a tanirlpH mp But here are the fundamentals: RUSSIA'S purpose is to con quer the world for com munism. Our purpose is to PRE VENT the communization of the world. We want to live in a free world. We'll fight, if we have to, to keep a free world to live in! ''THERE are minor compli--- cations. Khrushchev is a big caesar. He wants to stay big. Tito and Nasser are little Caesars. They want to get bigger. If it will serve their purpose, they will throw in with Khrushchev. Or, if they think it will serve their pur pose better, they will throw in, with us. Our NATO allies want to remain free but with the pos sible exception of Britain they would like for us to do the bulk of the fighting to keep them free. That's about the size of it. President's Victory On Reciprocal Trade Bill May Increase Washington (UPD Presi dent Eisenhower's trade bill victory is expected to become even greater in final congres sional action, it was indicated today. House and Senate conferees were to meet soon to compro mise the two versions of the reciprocal trade bill. The Sen ate Tuesday night handed the President a major victory by Mrs. Patty Davis, Air Crash Victim, Returns To Home Fresno, Calif. (UPD Mrs. Patty Davis, 35, and her hus band came home Tuesday night to an enthusiastic wel come from some 200 friends at the airport here. Her happy smile belied grim memories of an Oregon plane crash three months ago. She spent three freezing days in the open with injuries that caused loss of her left foot and part of her right foot. "It feels wonderful to be back," she said. Home by Plane She left a John Day, Ore., hospital at noon Tuesday for Fresno with her husband, bandleader Bruce Davis, in a twin-lengined Cessna similar to the one in which ! they crashed. With them were their son, Scott, 10, and Dr. Gerold Van Der Vlugt, co-director of the John Day hospital. Dr. Martha Van Der Vlugt, who remained in John Day, said her husband went with the Davises to assist in the fit ting of the artificial limb in California. "She was in real, real good condition when she left," according to "Dr. Mar tha,"., the other co-director. Crashed April 2 The Davises' own Cessna crashed near Dayville, west of here April 21 in rugged eastern Oregon rimrock coun try while en route from Fres no to Spokane, Wash. About 30 John Day resi dents, including city officials, were at the airport to see Mrs. Davis off. approving the program after beating attempts to restrict his power to cut tariffs on for eign imports. Compromise Hoped The administration hopes for a compromise four-year extension of the President's tariff-cutting, powers. The ad ministration had asked five years and the House went along. The. Senate slashed the ex tension to three years, but smacked down moves by the protectionist bloc to clamp sharp curbs on the Presi dent's power to overrule the Tariff commission in granting tariff relief to domestic in dustry. The final Senate vote was 72 to 16 for passage. Eisenhower let it be known he would be satisfied with a four-year extension. The conference committee also will have to agree on a ceiling for tariff cuts. The Senate approved a limit of 15 per cent with a maximum of 5 per cent each year. The House bill would permit a reduction of 25 per cent dur ing the life of the bill with no more than a 10 per cent cut in any one year. House conferees were re ported ready to hold out for a better bill than the Senate version. They planned to con centrate their main effort on eliminating the Senate restric tion which would prevent the President's added tariff-cut ting authority from being car ried over from year to year. This carry-over ability was considered essential by the administration so the U.S. can be in a favorable bargaining position when trade talks with European common mar ket countries begin three years hence. Engineers, AGC Continue Meetings Portland (UPD The strik ing Operating Engineers un ion and the Associated Gen eral Contractors met with a federal mediator here again Tuesday but no report on pro gress of the negotiations was made public and another meeting was scheduled for to day.
