Tumor Scares
Video Star
NEW YORK (UPI) Arthur
Godfrey made his last television
appearance Tuesday night for an
indefinite period. Pictured on
horseback at his Virginia farm in
the filmed program, he actually
was in a hospital bed awaiting
surgery for what he has said may
be lung cancer.
He is to undergo surgery at Co
lumbia - Presbyterian Medical
Center . Thursday to determine
whether the dark shadow on an
X-ray of his chest is a benign or
malignant tumor. Godfrey said
Tuesday surgeons may have to
remove the entire lung.
In an unusual personal state
ment, the 55-year-old entertainer
described his fears as he awaits
identification of "this horrible,
skulking 'thing which has in
vaded his body.
He had said that a chest pain
icd to discovery of the tumor but
that he has had no pain for the
past week, "probably because 1
can't feel it through the cold,
clammy, clutching fear that's
gnawing at my vitals.
Even if he must lose a lung
Godfrey said Tuesday, "I won't
mind one bit just so long as it
doesn't cripple me up so that 1
can't ride or swim or fly. (I've
been doing pretty well with my
lin hip for some time now it's
amazing how much pain you can
learn to ignore.) Just so I can
mount up and go bucketing across
country with Mary, it'll be all
right . with me. , .We've been
building that farm for 25 years."
Mrs. Godfrey is expected to
come here' Thursday.
Further blood and X-ray tests
were scheduled for today. .-

SALEM (AP) - Senate Presi

Senate Tuesday he no longer will
allow in his office a certain news
reporter.
Ken David, an Oregonian re
porter, said he is the one meant
by Pearson.
Pearson, without naming any
one, said the reporter falsely
claimed the Senate State and Fed
eral Affairs Committee met se
cretly last Friday in Pearson s of
fice. David replied he. had tried to
get in to the meeting but was
waved out by Pearson.
The meeting was to consider
the 5-million-dollar higher edu

thought too big.
Pearson also told the Senate
there was not anything unusual in
his sending an appropriation bill
to a committee other than the
Joint Ways and Means Commit
tee. The referral to the State and
Federal Affairs Committee was
called almost unprecedented by
newspapers.
Pearson told the committee the
budget should be cut, but the com

Senate pattern, the bill would be
come law despite the President's
objection. He contended that it
violated sound policy by giving
independent power to an olficial
subordinate to his Cabinet officer
boss. The head of the Rural Elec
trification Administration is subor
dinate to Benson.
House Speaker Sam Rayburn
ID-Tex predicted the veto would
be overridden. '
Rep. Melvin Price (D-Ill), spon
sor of the House measure, said
he was. "confident we have the
votes to override.
But House Republican Leader
Charles A. Halleck of Indiana
predicted that although the vote
will be close, the veto wilt be sus
tained. The House Republican Pol
icy Committee voted Tuesday to
do what it could along that line.
On , the basis of the April 15
House vote mat sent tne Dili to
Ihe President, the House should
override the veto. That vole was
254-131. three short of the two-
thirds needed to override. But 40
Democrats missed the vote, as did
10 Republicans. Five Democrats
voted against the measure and 16
Republicans voted for it. Most of
the absentee Democrats reported
ly favored the bill and will be on
hand for Thursday s vote.
Republicans in both the Senate
and the House assailed the vetoed
bill as "spite legislation" aimed
at Benson by Democrats who long
have criticized his farm programs.
The measure actually would
leavf the REA under Benson's
control for general administrative
purposes, but it would give the
administrator, rather than tne sec
retary, the final word on loans.
The present administrator, David
A. Hamil, is an Eisenhower ap
pointee.
Not once since he became Pres
ident in r.-)33 has Eisenhower had
a veto overridden. In that period
he turned down, by either direct
or pocket veto, 137 bills.

tested tax bill is being essayed
by the S.P.
