Backers of the InJuncUon won a

In That He's Only Horse To
Be Fitted With Glass Eye
Challenger, a prize Palomino, owned by Keith Moon, head of the
Klamath flodeo association, recently was fitted for a glass eye the
first time that such an operation haa been performed on a member
of the equine family.
The golden horse lost his right eye last January on a corral
fence and since then Uie steed's worth aa an exhibition horse hn
devaluated. Moon tried unsuccessfully to locate a false blinker for
the Palomino from various veterinarian organizations. The Dans
company of San Francisco, plastic technicians for artificial human
eyes, agreed to fit one to Challenger.
Last week the orb was flown to Klamath Falls by Karl Rohrer,
technician for the company, and fitted to the horse.
The 4-year-old steed wasn't a good patient. He spent moat of
Uie time up on his hind feet, but he seems satisfied with his new
eye now, which duplicates exactly the original one even to Uie
bloodshot lines which ordinarily appear In a horse's eye.

p hasized today this Ume to the

approving the North Atlantic pact

Acheson also urged action by June

economic aid tor Korea.
The secretary spent more than
two hours with the house foreign

statement afterward. He under
scored, what he had told Uie senate
Icreigii relatiuroi committee yester

up ATirita's policy in Europe.
The house haa nothing to do with

that
Acheson aald the Soviet Vnlon
waa afraid to relax Ita' Iran grip
oa E altera Germany because the
Russian leaders know they would
aot long be able te control the
German people If they did so.
The real significance of the Big
Foot session at Parts, Achesaa
said, la that It demonstrated the
greatly etrengthened position uf
the western powers In what he
called the atruggle for the soul of
Europe and the fact the position
of Russia haa been switched from
aa offensive to a defensive ene.
He told the senators that Uie In
ability of the western delegates at
the conference to come to any real
agreement with Russia emphasizes
the need for both the North At

program.
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan,
a republican leader In foreign af
fairs, aald afterward that "congresa
can't adjourn without acting en
both," Democratic Leader Lucas sf
Illinois expressed much the earns
opinion. So did Senator Connelly

Acheson's plea also got backing
from Uie nation's state governors,
meeting at Colorado Springs, Colo.
They passed a unanimous resolution
urging swift pact approval, followed
by any action needed to give the
treaty "full force and effect."
Only the senate need approve the
