John Cromer, after it was discovered she really hadn't been kidnaped but had instead been playing hookey with a girl friend. Missing for more than 24 hours and the object of a house to house search, Terry was found in an apparently dazed condition lying in an alley behind her home Thurs day. Bushed to the hospital after telling her story of being . kidnaped, her little hoax suddenly burst when a hospital phy sician suggested a shot might be in order. Mrs. Cromer told police she had spanked the girl for refusing to do her home work the night before she disappeared. (UPI Telephoto) 22 Words by Ike Boost Prospects of School Aid Measure Washington -(UPD-A 22-word sentence that President Eisen hower inserted in his State of the Union message has boost ed prospects that Congress will go farther than he asked on a School aid bill. Eisenhower didn't intend it that way. In his printed message, dis tributed to members of Con-J gress, the President urged ac tion on the 25-year install ment plan for school aid that he recommended last year. It called for a federal out lay of about S2,500,000.000 over a long period to help needy school districts pay off bonds for constructing new classrooms. Seize on Statement But Eisenhower, in reading his address, tossed in the ex tra sentence stating that his budget for the next fiscal year would show a $4,200,000,000 surplus "to be applied against our national debt." Liberal House Democrats seized this statement as justi fication for their pay-now pro gram of bigger federal grants within the next few years for building schools. Rep. Frank Thompson Jr. NEXT TO MONTGOMERY WARDS 0 .v M 129 S. FATHER and SON TEAM TO SERVE YOU BETTER GARY PICARD Watchmaker (D-N.J.), said Eisenhower's an ticipated surplus "might bet ter be used for our greatest natural resource - our chil dren." Willing io Compromise Thompson, who supported a larger program last . year, said he was "willing to com- promise and spend just as; much as the President recom mended in 1957." He recalled the President then recom mended $325 million annual ly for four years. Rep. Cleveland M. Bailey (D-W, Va.), chairman of the House education subcommit tee, said Eisenhower's mes sage "opened the door a lit tle" on school construction. But Bailey described as "so much political hooey" the President's forecast of the large surplus. Rep. Carroll D. Kearns (Pa.), top Republican on the House Education and Labor committee, viewed Eisenhow er's message as showing a wil lingness to compromise. Kearns said he was "willing to work hard" to reach a com promise. CENTRAL ROY PICARD Certified Master Watchmaker m peg Si.

Chrysler eas ed. Steels were dull. Rails and aircrafts were up a bit, oils sagged, while Political Fires Blaze Following Steel Settlement Washington -(UPD- A series of political brush fires touch ed 6ff by the steel settlement blazed today hot as any blast furnace. It all boils down to who did what, who promised what to whom and who's backing whom. The furor started when the eight-month steel dispute was settled Monday, with part of the credit going to Vice Presi dent Richard M. Nixon and Labor Secretary James P. Mit chell. Nixon's presidential stock soared. But Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler charged Thursday Nixon won a secret agreement from the steel, companies to hold off any price hikes until after the 1960 election. 'Sky's the Limit' . If Republican Nixon is elected president, Butler said, "the sky's the limit" on any price increases. He predicted that Nixon would not win the presidency. Steelworkers Pre s i d e n t David J. McDonald is the man who really jumped out of the frying pan of the labor dispute into the fire of politics. Columnist Drew Pearson said Thursday that McDonald had told friends he would for sake his normal Democratic allegiance and aid Nixon's presidential campaign because of the "very generous" steel settlement. McDonald promptly denied that he's committed to support Nixon or anybody else. Accepts Invitation Pennsylvania Gov. David L. Lawrence then gave the union chief a chance to prove he's still a good Democrat. Lawrence invited McDonald to be a Pennsylvania delegate-at-large at the Democratic convention in July. "I will accept with plea sure, of course," McDonald replied. JEWELERS Since 129 SO CENTRAL SPECIAL U UULaLa I WITH EVERY WATCH REPAIR ORDER JOB.

True or not, the President's forecast for the fiscal year starting next July" 1 contains the seeds of its own destruc tion. Increased Pressure Seen Lawmakers generally agreed that the surprisingly big budget surplus predicted by the President would put the election-year Congress un der increased pressure to step up spending on welfare pro grams with broad voter ap peal and to grant some kind of tax relief. Democrats contended, - and some Republicans agreed, that the President could predict a $4,200,000,000 surplus only by making some very improbable assumptions, including con gressional approval of a post al rate increase. Predicts Surplus Nevertheless, liberal Demo crats figured that Eisenhower had given a shot in the arm to prospects for passage of some administration - opposed programs, such as their two year $11 billion school con struction proposal. " Eisenhower's prediction of the huge surplus for the next fiscal year was made in his State of the Union Message to a joint session of Congress Thursday. He said his budget message, which goes to Congress on Jan. i8, would estimate spend ing at $19,800,000,00. He said this would produce a S4.200, 000,000 surplus which he wanted used to reduce the national debt rather than for a tax slash. Speaker Sam Rayburn (D Tex.) moved quickly to short circuit any tax cut drive. He said he still thought it would be "unwise" to reduce fed eral revenues. There appeared to be little, if any, chance Congress would vote a tax cut in the face of Rayburn's op position. Questions Surplus Rayburn was among those who questioned just "how real the surplus is." He said: "Some of our people, tell me it doesn't add up that way. I don't believe it will touch off any big drive to cut taxes. It might increase pressure . for extra spending. Another high-ranking Dem ocrat said privately that Eis enhower had jolted his hopes that the Democratic leader ship could hold firm to a poli cy of moderation it followed in the last session. Two-Way Drive "It's going to touch off a two-way drive-to spend more and to cut taxes," he com plained. "How are we going to resist now the pressure to spend more on school con struction? And how are we going to stand firm against businessmen and others who feel that tax rates are too high? The American people never have been inclined to take that kind of a surplus and apply it to debt reduc tion." Chairman Harry F. Byrd (D-Va.) of the State Finance Committee, charged that the President made a "mistake" in predicting such a big sur plus because it is impossible to make an accurate long range forecast of federal revenue.- Van Dyke to Speak At Club Meeting Frank Van Dyke, Medford lawyer, will address the Jack son County Young Republican club at a meeting at 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 11, at the home of Paul H.
