INSKEEP It isn't billed as such, but tonight's unprecedented debate between Sen. Barry Goldwater and Rep. Stewart L. Udall on the federal aid to education program is political to the extent its effects almost certainly will be felt in the 1960 elections. Starting at 8 p.m.

in the University of Arizona Auditorium and to be widely covered by newspapers, wire services, television and radio Republican Gold-water will argue against acceptance of federal funds under the 1938 defense education program. He will be pitted against Democrat Udall who as strongly believes acceptance of these funds is essential to the future of the state. One of the principal points at issue is whether acceptance of federal aid under this particular program also will bring controls that would be repugnant to the state. Goldwater and Gov. Paul Fannin say it would; Udall contends it wouldn't.

Hermann Oberth said Sunday he believes published reports that four Soviet astronauts have perished in attempts to put man into space. "I know from American intelligence reports that one AGRA, India, Dec. 13 Hi President Eisenhower fulfilled a lifelong ambition Sunday as he gazed in awe at India's fabled Taj Mahal "This temple of love," he called it. "A lovely, lovely thing" the President told his guide, Prime Minister Nehru. "I read about this when I was a very little boy in Kansas and I have always dreamed of seeing it.

It is one of the things I have looked forward to on this trip more than anything else It's much more wonderful than I ever thought it would be." The grief-stricken Mogul Emperor Shah Jahan built the exquisitely beautiful Taj Mahal 300 years ago as a memorial to his young empress, who died giving birth to her 14th child. The emperor married her when she was 14. She died at the age of 31. About 100,000 Indians jammed the approaches to the shrine and cheered Eisenhower all along the route from Agra airport. He smiled and waved from the open car.

His head was dotted with bright yellow petals from a deluge of flowers tossed by exuberant Indians. Nehru showed Elsenhower around. Eisenhower stopped about 500 feet from the Taj Mahal to study its reflection in a pool a scene familiar to tourists. The President asked Nehru whether the slim, graceful columns at each of the four corners were watch towers. "No," Nehru replied, "They are minarets, and in my judgment the Taj would have been even more beautiful without the towers." "Well, I can't quarrel with the architect who built this beautiful thing," remarked Eisenhower, an amateur artist.

Nehru noted that circular steps lead to the top of the minarets. "Well, I am not going to climb up those," the President chuckled. attempt at the end of 1957 or beginning of 1958 failed," Oberth said. "I believe the Russians made several other attempts." Icy Winds Bring Snow To Tucson Sudden Storm Cuts Visibility To 15 Feet On Nogales Highway; Mt.

Tucson itself had only wet snow that did not stay on the ground, Lightning Nicks Airliner Flying To Phoenix SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.1 r-A four-engine American Airlines plane was struck by lightning near Phoenix Sunday but the passengers did not know it until they were transferred to another plane at Phoenix. An American Airlines spokesman said the plane, a Douglas DC 6 with 45 passengers aboard, was grounded at Phoenix after the crew of three discovered the lightning bolt had disrupted circuits between the antenna under the fuselage and the radio equipment. The plane was flight 954 from San Francisco to EI Paso, Texas. The DC landed at Tucson at '10: 15 p.m.

He was commenting on reports published by the Italian news agency, Continentale, that reliable informants in Prague said the Soviets have made four vain attempts to get man in one case a woman into space. Oberth, 66, a former member of th U.S. Army's missile program at Huntsville, said he knew from other American intelligence reports that the Russians use a missile base near the Elbrus mountains close to the Iranian border as the launching site for human space rockets. Continentale said the Russians made four separate attempts to achieve manned space flight from a Soviet missile base north of the Iranian-Soviet border. It said each failed and the astronauts vanished in space.

The astronauts were identified as Alexei Ledowsky, Serenty Schiborin, An-dreij Mitkow and Mirija Gromov. These were the listed attempts: The first astronaut sent up was Ledowsky, just two years ago. He was fired aloft in a rocket after putting in months of training shortly after the successful launching of Sputnik II. Instruments followed Ledowsky to a height of 186 miles. Then transmission was interrupted.

Nothing was heard of him again. Schiborin went up in February 1958 and also disappeared into space. Mitkow, a leading Soviet test pilot, made the third flight last January in a rocket similar to that used to blast Lunik II to the moon, Mirija Gromov made the fourth attempt in February. The agency said she entered the stratosphere in a space aircraft "similar to the American X15, but that too ended tragically. Nehru Slaps At Hagerty Briefing NEW DELHI, Monday, Dee.

14 Prime Minister Nehru, chatting with reporters after President Eisenhower's departure Sunday, said some accounts of his talks with The President were "100 per cent wrong." Reporters questioned Nehru on impressions gained at a briefing last night by White Housa Secretary James C. Hagerty and P. N. Menon of the Indian foreign ministry. Nehru said he did not raise the Kashmir dispute with Pakistan in talks with Eisenhower.

Hagerty said the President ex-pressed belief that Indian-Pakistan negotiations on their quarrels including the Kashmir issue, would be healthy for Asia. Asked whether he raised the question of U.S. aid, Nehru replied that he hadn't. "Do you think I would be so crude as to ask for it?" he asked. Nehru added: "Everything you've told me so far about your briefing is 100 per cent wrong," communique did not mention Red China's pressure at the Indian border but James C.

Hagerty, Eisenhower's press secretary, said the matter of Communist China was discussed. U.S. military support in the event of a Chinese attack was not discussed, Hagerty said, but the President expressed hope the dispute could be settled by negotiation. No guarantee of U.S. support was either asked or given, Hagerty declared.

Eisenhower also expressed belief that Indian-Pakistan negotiations on their long quarrel, including the Kashmir issue, would be healthy for Asia, Hagerty reported. The President spoke favorably of all possible U.S. economic aid to India but said any increase in this is up to Congress. Two billions in aid already has been given. Nehru assured Eisenhower of India's full support in the Presi.

At the massive civic reception Eisenhower stood on a huge rostrum resembling a Hindu temple the same platform Soviet Pre Cheers went up from aj welcoming delegation of American school children as the President stepped from his plane, wearing a dark hat and overcoat and with a scarf pulled around his neck against the cold. "It is good you have come to our country at such a time," said the shah. "You, Mr. President, i have brought security, democracy and freedom from your great 1 country."

Fifteen gaudily decorated arches spanned the route with messages of Greeting written in English and Farsi, the official language of Iran. One huge arch was formed by the clasped hands of figures representing the Staroe of Liberty and an ancient Persian warrior. Iranian and U.S. flags were spotted every few yards along the route. Most of the American flags were out of date, having only 48 stars.

Offices, shops and schools were closed for the president's visit, freeing most of the city's populace to join in the welcoming throngs. Sunday was an official holiday, too. It commemorated the 12th anniversary of the day Soviet troops ended their World War II occupation of Iran's northern province of Azerbaijan. Iranians recall that the Soviets bowed then to strong United Nations pressure backed by American vows to use force if the Russians refused to evacuate. Feverish exditement built up days in advance of the President's arrival.

Many Iranians' hopes centered on the talks between the President and the Shah in the monarch's famous marble palace and Eisenhower's speech before a joint session of the sen-1 ate and majlis. They looked forward to hearing i American assurances of more mil-I itarv, economic and moral support 1 in Iran's stand against Communist pressures. Dunn said there was barely enough pressure to force the water two inches out from a garden hose. Cause of the blaze had not been determined last night. Because the home had not quite been completed, Sorrell did not have a subscription for private fire department service, and the property is outside city jurisdic- tion.

With the exception of a refrig-" erator and stove, the home was unfurnished, though Sorrell said some clothing had been moved in. Bombay Blast K'dls 7 BOMBAY, India.

He called his visit here "the most interesting visit I've ever made to another country." Gigantic crowds turned out to greet Eisenhower on arrival Wednesday and he was welcomed warmly everywhere he went. More than a million Indians massed to pay homage to him Sunday night. Indian President Rejendra Prasad accompanied Eisenhower to Palam Airport outside New Delhi.

Prime Minister Nehru arrived five minutes earlier to be on hand for the farewell. In contrast to his triumphal entry into New Delhi last Wednesdayduring which the U.S. president was cheered by possibly as many as two million Indians-Eisenhower's trip back to the airport in the chill pre-dawn was witnessed by few. Only peasants driving bullock carts were along the nine-mile route. Most of the city's residents were still asleep.

The temperature was in the high 50s wintry for India. Eisenhower, in enthusiastic spirits at the informal airport sendoff, told Nehru: "Frankly, I think I've learned a little more here than I ever have in a country in such a short time." The President chatted bricflv with a number of officials who helped make arrangements for his Y2 day stay in India. He thanked Prasad and others, including Indian Defense Minister V. K. Krishna Menon.

Thirteen minutes after his arrival, following a round of handshakes, Eisenhower boarded his big orange-nosed plane for the 4-hour trip to Tehran. In the wind- up of his public appearances Sunday night, another huge throng heard Eisenhower's message on peace and freedom for mankind. the giant gathering Nehru told Eisenhower he was leaving with "A piece of our heart." Sixty acres of solidly-packed i humanity, stretching as far as the eye could see. paid the final mass tribute to the President. Nehru said it was the greatest I civic reception he has ever seen I at the sprawling Ram Liia Park between Old and New Delhi.

It was the largest crowd Eisenhower has ever faced. "We believe that freedom will be won everywhere," Eisenhower told the crowd. "The hunger for it is far too deep-seated to be put off by a contrived definition or a man-made philosophy." After his speech, Eisenhower and Nehru met for a last talk over the dinner table, then issued a communique expressing deep satisfaction at friendly U.S.-Indian relations. i This said Nehru reviewed Asia problems for Eisenhower.

Crews Quell Four Calif. Brush Fires LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13 Crews moved from canyon to canyon in the Santa Monica moun. tains Sunday and finally controlled three wind-whipped brush fires after a six-hour battle. The flames, pushed by 50-miic-an-hour winds, extensively damaged one cosily home and menaced numerous others.

One of those endangered was actor Charlton Heston's new $150,000 home, which is still under construction. Firemen said a total of 136 acres were blackened by the three blazes. The picturesque district is dotted with homes of the well-to-do. A fourth fire broke out on the Palos Verdes peninsula in southwest Los Angeles County and swept over about 75 acres before it was contained. No buildings were damaged.

Returning to the main theme of his visit to three continents, Eisenhower called on nations of the world to search out "more effective and practical ways to strengthen the cause of peace and friendship in freedom." Eisenhower said both India and the United States stand for this cause, adding: "The critical word and the key idea of this cause is: freedom freedom must come first, we in India and America believe Freedom, as Gandhi said, is a gift of God and God's gift cannot forever be kept from his children." Eisenhower repeatedly invoked the name of Mohandas K. Gandhi, leader of India's independence movement, to show that the United States and India are bound together by the same dedication to freedom.
