O O o o o 0 o o o Eisenhower Has No Intention of Strauss Withdrawal Washington CFD President Eisenhower told Republican congressional leaders today he has no intention of withdraw ing the nomination of Secre tary of Commerce Lewis L. Strauss. Senate GOP Leader Ever ett M. Dirksen reported to newsmen after the weekly legislative conference at the White House that the Presi dent authorized him to make the announcement. Dirksen said Eisenhower's decision to keep Strauss' nom ination before the Senate would stand even if Strauss himself asked that it be with drawn. Dirksen said he did not believe Strauss bad any intention of pulling out. Confirmation in Doubt The Senate vote on confir mation of Strauss to the Cab inet post is in doubt. Debate on the nomination is due to begin later this week, prob ably Thursday. Reports circulated over the week end, mostly among sen ators dpposed to Strauss, that the President planned to with draw the controversial ap pointment. Dirksen said the announce ment, authorized by Eisen hower "ought to allay the rumors and propaganda." "The nomination definitely will not be withdrawn. The struggle will go on," he said. Asked if the President might change his mind if it appeared that Strauss might be defated, Dirksen replied: "I know of no qualification." Expects Victory Dirksen reiterated his be lief that Strauss would win Senate approval, but said he was not guessing as to how Republican senators would line up on the question. . Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel (Calif.), assistant GOP Senate leader, predicted that Eisen hower would stand firm on Teen-Age Girls Blamed for Fire . m Portland -UPD- Fire slightly damaged a cottage at the Childrens Home Inc. hare ear ly today and fire investiga tors said five teen-age girls were responsible for the blaze. - The fire was discovered about 1:33 ajn. about two hours after firemen were sent to the institution on a false alarm. Firemen said the false alarm had been touched off by two girls who held a lighted match under one unit of a fire alarm sprinkler sys tem. ' Investigator John Farber said the five girls, who were taken to the county juvenile home, were in the cottage with about 20 other children. The building is in back of the main structure. He said the girls apparently planned the fire because the false alarm failed to create the ex citement they had hoped for. Farber said the five girls set an alarm clock for 1:30 am. Newspeper was set afire in a first floor closet and the girls then aroused the others. A fire detective system in the closet sent an alarm to the fire department in about one minute. Damage was about $800. There were no injuries. Court Records MUNICIPAL COURT Johnnie Edmund Vandergriff, ex cessive noise (exhaust), $5; no ope rator's license. $10.
