Mennen Williams BLASTS President Eisenhower's education program this morning as 'inade- for a live-year program of federal - aid to education with MORE THAN '. 19 BILLION. DOLLARS of federal Governor Williams young and handsome and rich, good-naturedly known as "Soapy." because he is related on both sides of the house '. , to two big soap families, the Men - nens and the Williams belongs to the wing of the Democratic party that believes in government-do-ev-1 erythlng-for-everybody. He wants Hhe federal government to run the ' schools. He wants the federal gov .'. ernment to run the power plants. He has never said so. but I suspect that If It came to an is sue he'd want the federal govern ment to RUN THE DOG-CATCH-... ER'S OFFICE so that if you saw - a stray unlicensed dog in your ' - neighborhood you'd have to call up your senator In Washington to get the animal picked up. and sent ... to the pound. . ... . Senator Humphrey of Minnesota belongs to this federal-government-do-all wing of the Democratic par ty. So does Senator Magnuson of ' Washington. So do Oregon's Sena tor Morse and Senator Neuberger. And many others. Lei's get another point clear. As individuals, nothing can be said against any of these men. ' They are all worthy citizens and , pleasant persons to meet. Young and . glamorous "Soapy" Williams is as agreeable a character as one could hope to encounter. No one can help liking him. If he chose to do so,' Senatcr Humphrey could charm the birds off a tree. There Is no pleasanter companion than Senator Magnuson. Senator Morse has a brilliant mind and an able tongue. If you're pret ty sure that black j black and would like to make a bet on it, you'd better stay away from Sen ator Morse. If you give him a . air chance he'll be apt to convince you that black is WHITE. Senatcr Neuberger can be a charming member of any group one mtght name. But We're not considering these men as private individuals. We must consider them as leaders who rep resent an issue. The Issue they represent Is pretty well drama tized by young "Soapy" Williams' call for FIVE YEAR PROGRAM OF FEDERAL AID TO EDUCA . TION. with more than 16 billion ; dpjlars to be spent in getting the nose of the federal government camel under the education tent. The Idea they represent is th;t government should be centered in Washington, and not in our .state houses, our courthouses .ind our city halls.

Price Five Cents it Pages French Vote On Cabinet Crisis Today PARIS W The French Cabinet meets today to decide whetner to dissolve the National Assembly in a rare maneuver which would give Premier Edgar Faure the early elections Parliament denied him. Holding a confidence vole on a procedural question but actually moving . a slave off the early parliamentary balloting, the As sembly cave the ax to Uie govern ment last night 318-281. But by their whopping majority against Faure, the overentimsiastic deputies made it possible for the Caoinet to bool them out of office under a con stitutional clause never applicable before. Article 51 of the 1946 constitu tion says that when two Cabiuets have been thrown out within 18 months by "constitutional major ities" more than half the Assem bly's 625 members the Cabinet can dissolve the Assembly. Pierre Mendes-France' was ousted from the premiership by a 319-273 vote Feb. 3. less than 10 months ago. FAMILIAR ROUTINE It' the Cabinet decides to merely hand in its own resignation, this would set in motion the familiar, routine of French politics presi rientint consultations with party leaders, choice of a prospective premier, weeks of dickering to line up Assembly support and eventual ly announcement of a new Cabinet. Either way, Faure and his Cabi net will continue in oftice in a caretaker status. ( Weighing against Assembly dis solution was the constitutional re quiremenl thav new elections be held witnin 20 to 3D days. That would put the .balloting around Christmas, a ' lime - certain to be unpopular with the voters. Assembly elections normally would be held next June, but Faure wanted to advance them to early December Mendes-France fighting for time to drum up sup port for a comeback attempt, led the move-which. thvAltett the "Pre mier. There hud been talk of an earlj' spring vote as a compromise The Cabinet was said, lo be sharply divided, with a small ma jority in favor of sending the deputies oiu to face the voters. Independent Republicans and (he Popular Republican Movement fMRPi were reported leading the fight tor dissolution. AGAINST VOTE Faure's own party, the Radical Socialists, was said to be against the early vote. Mendes-France now dominates the pnrty ma chine ry and 34 of its 65 Assembly members follow his lead. The former Premier canceled a U. S visit lo sweat out the political crisis. He had beeh scheduled to leave last night to speak in New York and Louisville. The Communists were the im mediate cause of Faure's downfall, and the iarce majority which gave him the opportunity to send the Assembly home. The Reds, with 96 votes in the chamber, had, voted with the Premier on five pievionr confidence ballots. This time they went against him.

Identi fications of all victims were with held. . One poignant note In the over-all tragedy the worst ever to hit one of Alaska's big air bases was the death of the 11-month-old triplet sons of a sergeant. Most of the victims were mem bers of the' families of military personnel who lived In the new and modern housing units at 'the base. i The triplets were the sons of Sgt. and Mrs. William Thlmple, formerly of Ellwood City, Pa. An officer who lived In one of the houses adjacent to the scene of destruction told of finding Thimple kneeling In debris, burned and with his shirt blown off. His arms en folded his other two small chil dren, and he was shouting: "My other boysl My other boys!" SCREAMS The mother' was standing beside a flaming building, with her screams nearly drowned In the roar and the confusion. Both par ents were burned Rerlously.
