THE STATE'S GREATEST NEWSPAPER Entit pott offlro rnt-elat mitt, ter under act of control March 3. 1879. 0 Phoenix, Arizona, Monday, January 13, 1958 68th Year, No. 13944 Pages rm Ci TT XVT li ttC)p iiesiis us injqdw WE Killed In Three State Accidents srm ii Mime Four Sessi ion Ope ns Today THE ARIZONA Senate will act today on a joint memorial calling on congress to enact a copper tariff. This was announced last night by Senate President Clarence Carpenter (D- Gila) after a meeting with his rules committee in preparation for the opening of the second regular session of the 23rd Legislature this noon.

TJie conservative Democrat and Republican majority of the Arizona 'House held a quick caucus last night in Hotel Adams to get ready for the session. House Speaker W. L. (Tay) Cook (D-Cochise) said he will ask the attorney general this morning what action, if any, is necessary to keep last session's unpassed house bills from carrying over into the new session. Cook said he understands they are dead, although a legal question as to their status was raised last summer.

Asked if legislation creating a state oil and gas conservation commission would be introduced this session, Cook said it would. Queried about the absence of Rep. John Haugh (Pima), Republican floor leader, from the the majority caucus, Cook said Haugh is in the East and will be back Wednesday. House and senate will meet jointly about 1 p.m. today in the house chamber to hear Governor McFar-land's state-of-the-state and budget messages.

Carpenter said the senate also will officially adopt the copper-tariff memorial which was circulated among state lawmakers this summer for their unofficial endorsement. IN ADDITION, he said, the senate will dispose of such routine items as readoption of its first session rules and reappointment of its attaches. Minority Democrats holding 19 of 80 house seats held a caucus of their own yesterday. Their leader. Rep.

Harry Bagnall (D-Pinal), said they will introduce a package tax program calling for: Repeal of use-tax exemptions, the manufacturer's sales tax exemption, the manufacturer's inventory tax exemption, and the ceiling on manufacturing machinery assessments; increasing the sales tax rate on all types of business to the 2 per cent rate now paid at the retail level; limiting widows' property tax exemption to those who were residents in Arizona with their husbands when the husbands died. Bagnall said the minority also favors increasine state aid to school by basing payments on cur rent attendance instead of the preceding year's attendance. A I Ten Cent Bulganin's Proposal Rejected WASHINGTON (INS) President Eisenhower yesterday proposed a pact with Russia to renounce the use of outer space for military purposes, but rejected the Soviet call for an immediate summit conference. The chief executive left the door open for an eventual high-level meeting, but he said groundwork should be laid in diplomatic talks and by a foreign ministers session. Mr.

Eisenhower's proposal came in a letter to Soviet Premier Bulganin, replying to a Dec. 10 note from the Russian leader. The letter delivered to the foreign ministry in Moscow, was made public by the White House. Its contents had been made known earlier to U.S. allies.

The proposal for a pact to limit the use of outer space to peaceful purposes and halt the testing of military missiles dominated the President's message. Mr. Eisenhower wrote Bul ganin: "I now make, Mr. Chairman, a proposal to solve what I consider the most important problem which faces the world today. "I PROPOSE we agree that outer space be used only for peaceful purposes.

We face a decisive moment in history in relation to this matter. "Both the Soviet Union and the United States are now using outer space for the testing of missiles designed for military purposes. The time to stop is now." Concerning the summit conference, which Bulganin proposed within the "next two or three months," the President agreed such a face-to-face meeting might, be of value but only after intensive work by foreign ministers of the countries involved. MR. EISENHOWER coupled his proposal for an outer space pact with other disarmament steps which he insisted the Russians should take.

The President advocated an end to "unrestrained production of nuclear weapons" and a permanent halt on the testing of nuclear weapons, rather than the two or three-year embargo suggested by the Soviet Union. He also urged that the Ruv sians join the United States in strengthening the United Na-. tions by dropping the veto on questions of international dis putes. In addition, he urged Russia to fulfill its agreement for reunifi cation of Germany through free (elections, and asked the Kremlin to allow the Soviet satellite nations of Eastern Europe to select governments of their own choice. I IN THIS connection he reminded Bulganin of the Hungarian revolt 14 months ago and said bluntly that Soviet communism is responsible for the cold war.

"You were commander in chief," Truman was reminded. "Yes," the former president said. Truman said a good policy maker "is one who knows where he is going and carries out his program; Eisenhower doesn't carry out the policies that he proposes." Truman also said Mr. Eisenhower should be able to curtail rivalry among the defense services.

"I didn't have any trouble, as they understood who was commander in chief," he said. "Eisenhower should be able to handle the military, as no one has had more experience than he."

The young nobleman is giving up his jobs as advertising copywriter by day and cocktail lounge musician by night. His dignified new title is managing director of a firm that will design industrial literature. Douglas- Home, 25-year-old nephew of the Earl of Home, met the beautiful 23-year-old princess in 1956 He proposed, but her grandfather, King Gustaf VI, in tervened.

Swedish court officials said the i king felt the young suitor was notj earning enough money to support I Margarethe properly. i A Sunday Express columnist said a Swedish court official, informed of Douglas-Home's new job, commented: "The king will be very interested to hear of this. It might certainly make a difference." The old job of piano player was somewhat undignified, the official reportedly said, but the title of managing director sounds suitably impressive. Robin's salary in his new jobj was not disclosed, but the re- ported reaction in Swedish court! circles indicated it would be suf- ficiently high to enable him toj maintain a princess, on the last leg of a flight from Sydney, Australia, to be greeted by her mother, Mrs. Minnie Munson, and Mrs.

Mr. Eisenhower emphasized that this country could not initiate war without approval of congress and commented: "Not only would our people repudiate any effort to begin an attack, but the element of surprise, so important in any aggressive move, would be wholly lacking.
