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 of little Denise Meyers
may have saved her life.
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. She poked
a stick into a small hole, thinking
the frog might be hiding there.
There didn't seem to be any bot
tom to the hole.
The city engineer's office sent
men. who lowered a fislilinc. 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

some of the stormiest weather of
the spring, the Thordis drifted on

Workers Fete May Day;
Tension Is Backdrop
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Workers celebrated May Day in
many lands today with parades
ot international tension.
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.

Young Couple From Salem
Seeks News Of Lost Dog
A Salem family lost its dog to a
passing car about iour weeks ago.
The dog wasn't hit, it was picked
up.
"It was a young couple m a
Bi-ppn rar (from Washington)," the
dog's owners wrote city police
here. "They may have been on a
trip or they may be living in
Oregon."
The owners are so anxious to
recover their Boston bull terrier
that they are writing to every
city in Washington and. Oregon.
Enclosed is a photograph of the
bull terrier, whose name was not
given.
Writing the letters in itself is .a
terrific chore, particularly if
each page-long letter is written
in longhand, as the letter re
ceived here was written.
"Our little boy cries (or him."
wrote Mrs. E. Kennie of 796
Norman Avenue, Salem. "They
