TRl'STY MONTGOMERY, Ala. ll'PH -Prison trusty Burt Gamble was fined $100 when he confessed that he horrowed the warden's car to see my girl friend." t -a i 1 3 Demos Jolted On Veto; Eye Spending Measures WASHINGTON (APWolted by their inability to upset an Eisen hower veto, congressional Demo crats took a new look today at their plans to push through some big-spending legislation. They may have to mark down sharply the price tags on some pending bills or risk vetoes which they now have little hope of over riding. "They will have to be a little more reasonable alter what hap pened yesterday in the H o u s e." commented House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck of In diana. What happened was a double reverse for the Democrat and a dual victory for President Eisen hower. The House refused by vote of 280-146 to override Eisenhower's veto of a bill which would have taken from Secretary of Agricul ture Ezra Taft Benson his power to refuse loans to rural telephone and electric cooperatives. The 274 Democrats and 6 Re publicans who voted to override fell four votes short of the re quired two thirds. Four Demo crats joined 142 Republicans in voting to support Eisenhower's position. The Senate had voted 64-29 to upset the veto. It was the lMth bill vetoed by the President. He has never had Pet Frog Saves Tyke ALHAMBRA. Calif.

Mrs. William Meyers, mother of 3'j-year-old Denise, discovered a potential death pit 109 feet deep in their back yard while she was searching for the frog.

The weight stopped 109 feet down. 'Denise has been playing here since she was a year old." Mrs. Meyers said. "You can't imagine how glad I am we found this hole. We don't know what caused the hole hut Denise must have been near it many, many times." Thinking back to a tragedy that occurred in years ago in an aban doned well shaft 10 years ago in nearby San Marino.

(AP) Two American fishermen who had been adrift in their disahled boat for nine days through turbulent Pacif ic Ocean storms were hauled to safety at this tiny Vancouver Is land village Thursday. Only four cans of soup separated Bob Maddern. 40, and Bob Turner. 4fi. both of Aberdeen. Wash., from starvation when they reached shore. Maddern and Turner, both in good condition despite their nine days of prayer and peril, left Aberdeen on April 21 on what was to have been a short, 1.1-hour run to Neah Bay in the 34-foot troller Thordis. But the boat's engine broke down and for nine days, through some of the stormiest weather of the spring, the Thordis drifted on the Pacific, Maddern and Turner helpless passengers. They had no radio. Thursday the Thordis drilled close to shore near this fishing village SO miles northwest of Vic toria and the boat was spotted by postmaster .loshua Edgar. hngar phoned Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Ordway and the Ordways ran to the beach, waded into the icy water, caught a rone thrown from the Thordis and hauled the boat through the one small gap in the reef that hems in Clo-oose Bay.

Communists and non-Communists staged separate rallies in capitals in the non-Communist world. The Soviet Union's traditional parade in Red Square saw a beaming Premier Nikita Khrush chev taking the salute shortly aft er being awarded the Lenin Peace Prize for 1958. Boasts of Soviet military might came from the defense minister. Marshal Rodion Malinovksy, , but the parade was' a disappointment to Westerners' Jooking for new weapons. "Our military forces." Malinov- sky said, "are ready to give a destructive rebuff to any who try to obstruct the productive work of the Socialist Soviet Union." The theme seemed to stress de fense. Missing were the big rock ets of last year. Instead of an artillery show was called by Mos cow radio the "most awesome" highlight of the parade. It de scribed "antiaircraft equipment as big 3s factories and twin-barreled self-propelled guns capable of hitting anything on earth or in me skies. The tensest demonstrations were in divided Berlin.

A mile away from the' Western rally, more than a quarter of a million East Berliners marched before German Communist lead ers, Red China Defense Minister Peng Teh-huai, and Soviet officers.
