KIDNAP STORY HOAX Tearful Terry Cromer, 10, leaves
Santa Monica, Calif., Emergency Hospital with her mother,
' I.Irs. 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)

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.

(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.

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.

Pressure Seen To
Boost Spending
To Aitract Votes
Washington (UPB Congres
sional Democrats said today
the $4,200,000,000 budget sur
plus forecast by President
Eisenhower is too good to be
true.
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.-
