The U.S. Chief Executive, rising early Sunday, took off by marine helicopter for a morning of dry fly fishing at an isolated stream near Bari loche. . . . (UPI Telephoto) Eisenhower Left Weary After Argentine River Fishing Trip Bariloche, Argentina-UPD-A strenuous week end of "rest" in this mountain resort . left President Eisenhower visibly weary, but members of his staff scoffed at the idea that he was seriously fatigued. The effort of keeping up with the President tired aides years younger than he is, and they said it was no wonder he showed signs of weariness. After four holes of golf late Saturday, the President was up at 7 a.m. Sunday. By 9 a.m., he was off to the Limay river on a fishing trip. He spent two hours on the river, fly-casting for salmon or trout. The catch - seven rainbow trout, too small to be worth keeping. Particular concern was ex pressed about the President's appearance when he returned from the fishing trip. His face looked drawn, and he leaned Boise Group Top Quartet Singers Forest Grove --flJPD The Gem-Dandies of Boise, Ida., took first p 1 a c e Saturday night in the Barbershop Quar tet contest here at the annual Gay Nineties celebration.

Mouth Cancer Test Proves Efficient Washington - (CPD - The Vet erans Administration reports the development of a simple and painless test for mouth cancer that has proved "high ly efficient for early diagno sis" in a three-year trial. Dr. Henry C. Sandler, chief of dental service at the VA's Brooklyn, N.Y., Hospital, said Sunday night the technique involves taking a smear or scraping from the mouth for microscopic examination. He said in a statement that the method's '.'accuracy as a cancer test compares favor ably" with the biopsy test, which calls for removal and laboratory examination of a tissue sample. $J80 $715 - rw JOCKEVCIlBi KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY .r,? -Ji' fOPPE It DISTILLED heavily on the arm of secret serviceman Jim Rowley as he went up stairs.

Siege-like preparations were evident as the Senate was called to meet at noon (e.s.t.) and, barring a last-minute switch in strategy, to remain in session indefinitely. Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.), backed by Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen (111.), ordered the continuous session after 11 days of debate failed to break the civil rights deadlock. Senators and their aides prepared to spend the nights at the Capitol. Key Senate employees were put on stag gered work schedules and the restaurant planned to remain open 24 hourss a day. Houst Debate Later There were unconfirmed re ports that efforts might be made this week to advance House debate on civil rights to remove some of the pres sure from the Senate's gruel ling schedule. But House debate is not slated to start until the mid dle of March and there were no immediate indications of any plans for a speed-up. The Senate has not held a round-the-clock session since 1957 when Sen". Strom Thur mond (D-S.C.) set a new fili buster record with a continu ous speech of 24 hours and 14 minutes against a civil rights measure. The longest session in Sen ate history was 85 hours and 49 minutes in 1954, broken by a one 24-minute recess, on amendments to the 'Atomic Energy Act. After a Sunday recess, the debate ran con tinuously for another 35 hours and 57 minutes. Southerns Walk Tightrope As the Senate headed into the new round-the-clock ses sions, there were these de velopments in the hot civil rights battle: -Southerners wa kled a Car Damaged as Fire Burns Truck Tires - Ashland The. Ashland fire department assisted state po lice and truckers Saturday in putting out a truck fire on the South Pacific highway, a mile north of Neil creek, state police said today. A truck and trailer hauling new cars and driven by Wil lard L. McBee, Modesto, Calif., was coming down the grade out of the Siskiyou mountains when the driver noticed his left rear dual tires were smoking excessivley. He halted at the bottom of the grade when the tires .started to burn, state police said. Three tires and the brakes were damaged officers said. Also burned was paint on a new car which was located on the trailer directly above the fire. .1 cations commission said. tightrope in opposition to the bill. They were committed to a last-ditch fight but didvnot want to antagonize moderates, who if angered might sup port even stiffer legislation. Sen. Richard B. Russell (D Ga.) said the Southerners had no definite strategy plans for the continuous session. Russell, leader of the Dixie bloc, said he regarded the rash of lunch-counter seating incidents in the South as an effort "to incite a race riot . . . and therefore inflame the people of this country against the people of the South."

Truman Assails 'Budget Gutters' In Administration Miami Beach rWPD- Former President Harry S. Truman took another slap at the Eisen hower administration Sunday night, declaring "it is a lot better to have a secure nation than a good campaign argu ment." In a talk to the inaugural conference for the 1960 sale of Israel bonds, Truman as sailed what he called the "political budget cutters." Second Attack He told his audience to "be ware of people who belittle the danger to the security of the Free World, and use the smiles of Russians to justify slashing our defense budget." . His speech at the bond rally was Truman's second attack on the Eisenhower administra tion in as many nights. The talk was more restrained than the one he delivered here Sat urday night at a $100-a-plate Democratic fund ;ing din ner. Worst Mess' Truman, in his talk to fel low Democrats, accused the Eisenhower administration of creating the "worst mess since the days of U. S. Grant and Warren Harding." He said the Republicans will try to "brain wash" the American people into forgetting their mistakes before the November election. Truman Says Administration to Try Brainwash Before Election Miami Beach (DPD Harry Truman has charged the Re publican administration will try to "brainwash" the Ameri can people before the Novem ber election to cover up the "worst mess since the days of U. S. Grant and Harding." The former president ac cused the Republicans of us ing public relations to gloss over the true facts of Russian strength and the failure of U.S. leadership. "We will not survive as a free people without leader ship . . ." he said, "leadership that has the integrity to tell the people the facts and the courage to call on the people for whatever work and sacri fices are required." Truman delivered his charges in a speech to a $100- a-plate Democratic fund-raising dinner here. In his best "give 'em hell" style, Truman said the Eisen hower administration lives by labels rather than leadership. "They exalt form above sub stance, appearance above reality, the public relations above public service," he said. "In other words, they regard the label as more important than the contents of the pack age." "We must do something to save our country from the ter rible mess the Republicans have succeeded in making of this government of ours. And it's the worst mess since the days of (Presidents) U. S. Grant and Harding," he said. Family of Eight Dead as Result of Faulty Oil Heater Thomson, 111. -WB- An in quest was planned today into the deaths of a family of eight, apparent victims of a faulty oil heater. The bodies of Leroy Hensel, 59; his wife, Dorothy, 53, and their six children, Judith, 17; Billy, 14; Leroy Jr., 12; Su san, 10; Patricia, 8, and Jane, 7, were found Sunday. Edward Schuler of Morri son, 111., Hensel's employer, discovered the bodies. Schul er wanted to find out why Hensel, a mechanic, had not been to work for two weeks. Lemuel Hussey, deputy cor oner, said it appeared the Hensels were asphyxiated. Hussey said a damper in an oil-fed space heater had been closed, probably letting the deadly fumes filter through the house. Schuler said he was alarm ed when Hensel did not come to work for several days be cause the rural home was fre quently isolated by bad wea ther. Gets 'Funny' Feeling But Schuler, who owns an auto dealership in nearby Morrison, said he decided to drive out anyway Sunday "just to check." He was forc ed to abandon the car in a snowbank two miles from the house and went the rest of the way on foot. Schuler said he got a "fun ny feeling" ' when he ap proached the four-room frame house Hensel built himself. He said he found the only door latched from the inside and two cars parked nearby. A night porch light was still burning. Schuler said he decided to force the latch and walk in. "Right away I knew what I had feared was true," he said. "There in the living room were Mr. and Mrs. Hensel. They were lying there like they were asleep, only there were black and blue marks under their eyes." Finds Children Dead Schuler said he went out side and walked around a bit before remembering the Hen sel children. He returned to the house in hopes that some of them were still alive. But he found that they, too, were dead. "They were all gone. I had been too late," he said. Schuler said he found pre scriptions and a doctor's in structions for treating the flu beside Hensel in the living room. "The instructions were quite detailed," he said. "Ob viously the family had been ill and thought they were suf fering from the flu." A large black dog, raven ously hungry but still alive, was found in the basement. Another dog was found scampering about ouside the house. Dishes and silverware were neatly set on the table for breakfast. Authorities said the family had been dead about 10 days. Democrat Said Answer The answer, Truman said, is to put a Democrat back in the White House. Truman said the Republi cans have "gotten away" with what they have done through public relations and a "certain amount of editorial bias on the part of the press . . . (the press) covers up for Ike things that are much worse than any thing that has happened in our government since Grant and Harding." . "Be that as it may," he said, "I can promise you this: (in 1960) you are going to see the most massive effort to brain wash the American people ever contrived. 1 "Worst of all, I very much fear that during these coming months the executive branch of the government is going to be run with more of an eye toward the outcome of the election than toward the wel fare and safety of the coun try." Give-Away List Told Truman clicked off a list of what he called "give-aways" by the Eisenhower adminis tration. It included these charges: "This administration is now preparing to give away the atomic energy power for which the taxpayers spent $25 billion. "The farmer is always at the bottom of the heap as far as equality of treatment is concerned, in the operation of the federal government. "This administration turn ed the control of the finances of government over to bank ers .. . they have exploited home-owners, farmers and little business generally to the tune of 16 to 20 billions of dollars in added interest costs on private loans." Police Investigate Burglary at Station State police today are in vestigating the burglary of a service station at Savage creek on Highway 99 Saturr day morning. State police said the bur glars entered the Smith Mo bile station through the lub rication rack entrance, broke out a pane of glass in the door adjoining the lube rack and opened the door. Two tires and $2 in change was reported missing. . SURGERY PENDING New York-TOPD-Gen. Doug las MacArthur is being pre pared for surgery to correct a urological condition which hospitalized him four weeks ago. Washington-flJPD - Congres sional economic experts of both parties agreed today that the cost of living will hold fairly constant in the yea ahead. But this was one of the few points on which Demo crats and Republicans on the Senate-House Economic com mittee reached agreement in their annual pulse-taking to determine the state of the na tion's health. , Filing separate and sharply opposing reports, the Demo crats and Republicans even disputed the meaning of the prolonged stability in the level of prices. Eight Democratic members, including Chairman Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill.), cited it as evidence that the administra tion has been unduly concern ed with inflation. They said administration policies have held back economic growth and produced a "higher" than necessary rate of unemploy ment. On the contrary, the six Re publican members said the outlook for continued price EXECUTE ALGERIANS Algiers - (UPD - French army squads have put to death six Algerians convicted of ter rorist acts, it was disclosed Sunday. Madison, N.J. - (CPD - Ray mond L. Patterson, a dog breeder and exhibitor who judged in many shows in this country and abroad, died Sunday. stability demonstrated t n e wisdom of the administra tion's economic policies. They said Democrats should give the administration credit for "guarding against inflation." The reports which sound ed like election-year cam paign documents simply re hashed the partisan argu ments which emerged from the committee four weeks ago at the end of its nine-month study of employment, growth and price levels.
