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will not be withdrawn.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.

his father said tearfully he
could not have done it.
Arson inspectors placed
Magid Bateh, 12, in the Youth
Guidance center pending fur
ther investigation of the blaze
which charred the Jefferson
elementary school early Sun
day. Magid's father, Elias, plead
ed in vain late Monday with
Judge Melvyn I Cronin for
his son's release.
"This is "not right," the gro
cer cried. "My boy was with
me Saturday night. How
could, he have set the fire?"
Father Reminded
Cronin reminded the dis
traught father of the boy's
confession and of the fact that
preliminary investigation in
dicated the fire was set late
Friday. O
Magid, an "ungraded" pu-
nil because of his mental d
ficiency, told investigators
broke into the school to
stroy a spelling paper in
which he had made an erpy.
He was quoted as saying Tie
touched a match to the paper
in the principal's office and
fled.
Early investigation showed
the fire apparently started in
the principal's office and
smoldered undetected for
more than 24 hours.
Principal Elnora Fuller said
the boy was "an unfortunate
child, under psychiatric care
whoHnvents wild and eird
stories. His school work is un
graded because he is not con
scious of grade levels."
