Another hole in the bedroom ceiling, he said, produced a shotgun.

He said they did not take the gun "as it was not ours. Chico Police Chief James R. Evans asked Reno officers to hold the pair for the Yuba county sheriff. bin 'P i i mm v- Two California youths were arrested in Reno Monday evening and charged with looting a farmhouse near the Marysville-Yuba City flood area. The youths, both 20 years old, are James W.

Tackitt and Jay Weldon. Both are from Chico, about 50 miles from Marys-ville. The pair were arrested by Det. Sgts. Howard Wotring and Elmer Seevers and Officer Lloyd L.

Luther in Douglas Alley after employes of several downtown casinos called police headquarters and said the pair was trying to exchange rolls of half-dollars. Club officials said the half-dollars were wrapped with wet strips of paper not commonly used in Reno. Weldon told the detectives he and his friend had saved the o-jins over a period of years, but Tackitt, in a signed confession, police said, admitted they looted a flooded firm house. The officers said they found over S517, mostly in half-dollars, on the pair. Tackitt said they left Chico Sunday to photograph the flood area.

He said they came upon the farm house, fed the chickens which were running about and then entered the house, which was open. He said they noted broken furniture and windows, which he interpreted to be signs of previous looters. Tackitt said they reached in a which struck them and fellow-skiers New Year's Eve.

UP) A skeleton crew kept doors padlocked on the gambling casino and show room of the lavish Royal Nevada Hotel today.

Only guest rooms remained open. (Officials said there was sufficient food and liquor on hand for the registered guests but none for those persons who might drop in casually. The casino was stopped Saturday night. A hotel spokesman said the step was taken after employes, fearing the hotel was closing, started helping themselves to cash and chips. Future of the 250-room hotel, which has been beset with financial difficulties, remained in doubt.

Bill Miller, general manager whose resignation was supposed to have been effective Dec. 28, was reported still occupying his office. Fail to Share Bulganin Views WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. UP) American officials do not share the view expressed by Premier Bulganin of Russia that early new Big Four talks at the summit might be "fruitful." They do not believe that Bulganin was seriously suggesting such a conference when he said, in responses to questions published Saturday, that good results might ensue if "all the participants approach the urgent international questions with due consideration of the interests of all parties concerned." Informed officials who reported this appraisal last night said the consensus here is that Bulganin was speaking for the record in a non-commital way not wanting to discount the value of negotiations but also not actively recom mending them.

"And we must give some thought to paying off some of the national debt," McCormack added in an interview, Among the factors working against an early tax cut are ad ministration plans to increase defense spending by a billion dollars to about 35Vs billions, step up foreign aid outlays by about 200 millions, and the prospect that congress will vote more money for farmers, schools, highways and various health programs. However, Sen. George (D-Ga) and some other influential Democrats have urged a lowering of taxes for persons in the low and middle income brackets. George, who helped block a tax cut voted by the house last year, now says he thinks the government can afford to reduce taxes by about three billion dollars.

McCormack, while cautioning against reduction in government revenue until the budget is balanced, left the way open for some "adjustments" in the present tax structure without reducing total tax collections. These adjustments, he said, should provide relief for small-income taxpayers. "There are some places where we can operate," he said. "Some of the present tax laws are too favorable to business and individuals in the high-income brackets, to the detriment of the small businessman and the man with lower income. It's these little fellows who should get relief." More words are likely to be spilled over farm legislation than any other issue in the present session, but what the outcome will be is anybody's guess.

Democrats have been harping on the price squeeze on farmers, blaming the administration's flexible price support system, and they evidently are banking on this as a potent campaign issue. Top Democratic leaders have advocated a return to rigid, high-level price supports, as provided in a bill the house passed last year. However, not all Democrats agree on this course. Republicans also have their differences over farm policy. The administration, for its part, is standing by its flexible support program but intends to ask congress to supplement it with a "soil bank" subsidy plan and other measures to ease the plight of farmers.

It blames the crop surpluses built up under Democratic support programs for depressing farm prices The outlook appears, bright for enactment of a bill to increase federal aid for a multi-million dol lar highway program. The senate passed such a measure last year, but it was sidetracked in the house in a dispute over how to pay for the program. There are signs the administration will modify its position that the cost should be met through bonds. More doubtful is' the fate of legislation to provide federal funds for school construction. Aside from long-standing controversy over the government's getting into this field, a move to deny any aid to segregated schools could prove to be an insurmountable barrier.

With these and many other issues to be dealt with, the emphasis in the present session is likely to be primarily on domestic legislation. In the field of foreign policy, bipartisanship is expected once again to be the general rule. However, Democrats have made plain they feel free to criticize administration methods of pursuing agreed-on objectives. There may also be considerable controversy over the administra tion's announced plan to ask for nearly five billion dollars in new foreign aid funds, so as to build up a backlog for spending in fu ture years. Last year congress voted about $2,700,000,000.

The IUE called its 44,000 YV estinghouse members in the nation out on strike to back up demands for a 15-cent hourly wage increase. Nine days later the Independent United Electrical Workers struck Westing-house in a similar contract dispute. AVERAGED 2.10 Members of each union aver aged $2.10 an hour before the strikes.

They rejected a com pany proposal for a five-year contract described by the company as providing a minimum of 23 cents an hour pay increase over a five year period. When calm returned to the strike scene after dawn, E. L. Smith, Columbus Westinghouse manager, issued a statement which said in part: "The mass demonstration di rected by local and national leaders of the IUE-CIO was clear evidence of their complete disregard for law and order. As the local union president announced yesterday, the demonstration was a desperate attempt to force people away from our plant.

Union spokesmen, asked ny A 1. A XL. newsmen it tney xnougni me mass demonstration violated the Dec. 1 court order replied: "The order speaks for itself. You can take it from there." The union released statements from several strikers wno charged police brutality without provocation, but it declined to pi vp the names of those who made the statements.

KEDRE TANK VACUUM CLEANER HOW ONLY Quadruplet Sons In Fair Condition LANCASTER, Jan. 3. UP) Mrs.

Norman C. Hohenwarter, 25-year-old wife of a $65-a-week postal clerk, gave birth yesterday to quadruplet boys. They were reported in "fair" condition early today. The four babies, born about four weeks prematurely, arrived at Lancaster General Hospital. They were named Norman Charles, Carl Conrad, John Philip and Mark Anthony.

The births gave the father, Norman C. Hohenwarter, 25, more than half the football team he says he planned to raise. "It looks like it's well on the way," he grinned. The Hohenwarters, who had expected twins, have two other sons, Stephen, 6, and Donald, 3. Robbers Kidnap Bank President RICHLAND, Jan.

3. UP) Three men forced Mrs. Georgia Neese Clark Gray, former treas urer of the United States, to open the vault of the Richland State bank last night and then fled with an estimated $2,000. Sheriffs officers said Mrs. Gray and her husband, Andrew, were accosted by the armed men.

at their home. Gray was bound and gagged and Mrs. Gray forced to accompany the men to the bank. She is president of the bank and also owner of a grocery and dry-goods store housed in the same building. The state patrol said that after the men obtained an estimated $1,200 from the bank from store funds, they released Mrs.

Gray unharmed. The three fled in the Grays station wagon, which later was found abandoned west of Richland. Mrs. Gray was U. S.

treasurer during the Truman administration. The state highway patrol said three men had been taken into custody at El Dorado, about 120 miles southwest of Richland. Richland is a town of 250 population in eastern Kansas about 60 miles southwest of Kansas City. ENFORCER FIXED TAIPEI, Formosa, Jan. 3.

FIGURE CONTROL (Continued from Page 1) The Reoublicans. behind the banner of President Eisenhower, swept into power in the 1952 elections, but two years later they lost control of congress to the tem-ocrats. In the present session both parties will be trying to write a record that will persuade the voters to give them a majority in the house and senate and help to elect a president as well.

All of the house members and one-third of the senators will be up for election in November, along with control of the White House. EISENHOWER QUESTION The biggest unanswered question of the moment is whether Eisenhower, stricken by a heart attack last Sept. 24, will run for a second term. He has given no hint and is not expected to do so before mid-February. One member of congress, Sen.

Kefauver (D-Tenn), is an announced candidate for president. Sen. Knowland of California, the GOP floor leader, has made plain he will seek the Republican nomination if Eisenhower does not seek re-election. Plenty of other members would not duck if the lightning should strike their way. Nor, it can be assumed, would many of them complain if they were tapped for second place on their party tickets for next November's elections.

Eisenhower, getting some sun and exercise in Key West, before resuming a full work schedule, will outline the administration program in his annual State of the Union- message on Thursday. He will send it to congress to be read by clerks, rather than deliver it in person. A series of messages on specific subjects will follow later, as will the annual budget and a report on the nation's economy. PROGRAM OUTLINED At conferences with congressional leaders in mid-December, Eisenhower urged legislation to step up construction of highways, to help overcome a shortage of 200,000 school classrooms, and to improve the social security system. The White House announced also that agreement was reached to give "top priority" to legislation to aid farmers, beset by declining prices and rising costs.

Just a couple of days ago, Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas called the drop in farm income "the No. 1 trou fcle spot" in the country. Also discussed at the White House conferences were measures to revise the immigration laws, encourage development of ater resources, give a boost to housing construction and increase postal rates, as well as legislation in the field of labor, civil rights, and statehood for Alaska and Hawaii. In broad outline, the administration's legislative goals generally parallel those advanced by Democratic leaders, but so far they are largely in skeleton form.

The arguments are likely to start once the flesh-and-blood details are added. The lawmakers should be able to swing into action quickly, since the present session picks up v. here the last one left off on Aug. 2. Bills that already have moved part way through the legislative mill do not have to retrace their steps.

And, unlike the start of a new, freshly elected congress, the committees and their chairmen are set up and ready to function. In prospect for the senate is an early battle over a bill passed by the house last year tq exempt independent natural gas producers from federal control. Oppo-rents contend it would add millions to the bills of the nation's gas consumers. Supporters deny this and say the measure is necessary to assure adequate production. On taxes, a major source of political conflict, the administration has indicated it is going to put a balanced budget ahead of tax reductions.

It plans to wait until it has a clearer picture of government spending and income before deciding whether to recommend a tax cut. Many members are on record as favoring a reduction this year, although in recent weeks there has been evident an attitude of caution. This was typified today by the comment of McCormack that there should be no reduction in government revenues until the budget is balanced. The administration is hoping to achieve Unless you deny yourself The prevailing idea of millions today is: "How can I enjoy my self?" All too often, work is grudgingly done.

3. UP) The Sudan was welcomed into thp family of independent na tions yesterday by President Eisenhower, who sent the new government a message extending the best wishes of the American people. The message was delivered to the five-member ruling commit tee in Khartoum a day after the United States granted the Sudan recognition as a sovereign state. Eisenhower said this country "looks forward to friendly relations with the government of Sudan and wishes you and your fellow countrymen every success in establishing a stable and pros perous and happy nation." The president's message and a formal statement of U. S.

recog nition were delivered by Arthur E. Beach, the state depart ment liaison officer in the Su dan. The liaison office will be succeeded by a regular diplomatic mission, probably an embassy.
