Rain Falls In Midwest Eastern Third of Nation Is Seasonably Cool; Storm Develops (By The Associated Press) Rain fell in sections of the midcontinent and western states but fairly clear and pleasant weather was reported in most other parts of the country today. It was clear and seasonably cool over the eastern third of the nation. Temperatures early today ranged from the 50s and 60s over the Great Lakes region and New England to the 60s and 70s in the gulf states. A developing storm system from Kansas and Nebraska northward into Canda brought showers and thunderstorms during the night from the central Rockies northeastward to Wisconsin and Minnesota. Clear weather prevailed south of the storm center from Kansas to the gulf.

Hot winds blew most of the night and it was 85 at Wichita and 82 at Kansas City. The hot weather, with readings yesterday generally 100 or more, over northern Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and western Missouri. Ike Concluded from Page One tion proposal-the bill authorizing the death penalty for peace-time espionage. Prior to that the penalty for peace espionage was a maximum 30 years in prison. The death penalty applied only to espionage conducted during war time.

The appreciation bill carrying foreign aid funds is designed to bolster the nations of world against any threat of Communist aggression. Most of the 781,499,816 total-which the summer White House said is 989 less than the administration asked-is earmarked for military aid. Overall the bill provides 575,795 for foreign aid because in addition to the nearly three billion dollars in new money it makes available $2,462,075,979 from funds voted in previous years, but not earmarked for specific projects. PART OF PACKAGE Of the grand total, 729 is allocated for global military aid, 700 millions of it for use in bolstering the defenses of southeast Asia. Economic aid- -including Point Four technical assistance to underdeveloped areas comes in for about 740 millions.

Various miscellaneous programs make up the balance. The citizenship-stripping bill is part of the "package" subversion subcontrol program Eisenhower mitted to the 1953 session of congress. A native born or naturalized American would become an alien in the eyes of the law, if convicted under the new statute. This would not automatically mean deportation. But a person who has had his U.

S. nationality stripped forcible from him for advocating overthrow of the government would be open to deportation it he voted in foreign election, committed treason or swore allegiance to a foreign flag. Such persons, born in the United States, would be sent to the country of their who choice, had if been acceptable natuthere. Those ralized citizens would be returned to their homelands. The President said last week that the bill--together with other measures now on the law booksprovides the government with much more effective weapons to help destroy the Communist menace."

off a Communist-style election to national congress. The congress corresponds to one in Moscow, it gives every outfit. The congress of 1,226 delegates, By FRED HAMPSON will convene for the first time in Peiping on Sept. 15. The delegates were picked in a closely controlled series of elections in provinces, some ethnic minority areas, and in some cities directly under the Peiping government, such as Peiping itself, Shanghai and Tientsin.

Almost all the party big shots have been elected delegates, from Mao Tse-tung on down. But there are some notable exceptions. First order business will be the adoption of a new constitution drawn by the party and already given a terrific nation-wide propaganda endorsement. The congress takes the place of the party-picked people's political consultative, conference, an interim group named in 1949 to serve until an election could be held. The P.

P. C. C. was strictly rubber stamp and the new congress gives no promise of being any different. Apparently the new congress will be divided along these lines: outstanding party leaders, 30 percent; "democratic personalities" 30 percent: "proletariat elements" 30 percent; minority groups, 10 percent.

The democratic personalities are fellow travelers from subservient third party groups. The proletariat elements include model workers and farmers and leaders of collectives. This appears to be a disproportionate representation inasmuch as minority nationalities numonly a few hundred thousand. But Peiping is specially solicitous of these groups which dot China and the past enjoyed much autonomy. Among those didn't win a congress seat was Kao Kang, head of the state planning commission, or boss of the five-year plan.

His name disappeared from the press and radio last. January. Peiping radio today announced the names of all 1,226 delegates and missing from the list was Li Li-san, an old rival of Mao who broke with the Red leader in 1929 and went to Russia. He appeared in Manchuria with Russian armies at the close of World War II. He has been minister of labor, a member of the state administration council, a member of the government council and first deputy chairman of the all-China general labor union.

Po I-Po, former finance minister who disappeared similarly last year but now is staging a slow comeback, was elected. Kao is a stunning omission, for he is a central committee and Politburo member in the party as well as the five-year boss in the government. His one-time helper, Lee Foo-chun, also on the central committee, was not elected. Neither was Jao Shuh-chieh, formerly political commissar to Gen. Ghen-yi in the third field army who rose to leadership of the organization bureau in the central committee.

Wang Chia-hsiang, one of the four vice ministers of foreign affairs, was not elected. This is the first hint of trouble for him. All told, 27 members and alternates of the all high central committee failed to get elected. The election was one of the party projects of 1953 but it was twice postponed. It was completed along with the national census this summer.

It was called a "basic level" election and worked this way: People in the villages, towns, sub-counties and counties, minority racial areas, military groups including Red army units, picked basic level congresses. Peiping said 278 million people took percent of all registered voters. They chose a total of 5,669,144 people's deputies. Elections were carried out in 214,798 units. Then the basic level congresses picked provincial congresses which in turn elected delegates to the national congress.

In the cases of army units and some cities the basic level congresses, picked their own national delegates, bypassing the provincial congresses. All candidates were screened by the party, and almost all turned out to be local officials picked by Pelping. But in the back country the screening became the task of provincial and sub-provincial central committees, so it won't be surprising if some suitable candidates turn up. They will have to Bolt Strikes Cottage JACKSON, Sept. 4.

(P)-Mrs. Homer Case was seated on the front porch Friday as a lightening bolt glanced off her summer cottage at nearby Round lake. The bolt struck the cottage TV antenna first, then hit the porch, jarring it loose, broke windows in the cottage, caused a ceiling to collapse and shook a staircase. Mrs. Case was uninjured.

Like the indication of being a rubber stamp EDC Defeat Danger Told Adenauer Asserts Germany May Seek Help of Soviet Russia LONDON, Sept. :4 (P) The Times of London today quoted West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer saying French Premier Pierre "wanted to destroy" the European army project. Adenauer also warned in an exclusive interview with a Times correspondent that the death of the European defense community (EDC) treaty at the hands of the French assembly might mean rebirth of "exaggerated nationalism" in Germany and the seeking of aid from Soviet Russia. "If the European idea is wrecked by the action of France, will not that mean a teturn in Germany to an exaggerated nationalism?" the chancellor asked.

"I do not mean a return to the Nazism of Hitler, but a return certainly to some form of nationalism. "If Germany is rebuffed by the west and wooed by the east, do you not think that the nationalism will look to the Soviet Union. This is a great danger." Adenauer, who granted the interview at' his vacation spot at Buhler Hohe, rejected the idea of another four- conference at this stage. He also stated "only if we Europeans stand together can we hold out against Communist Russia and that unfortunately MendesFrance does not understand either. There is no question of isolating France.

She has isolated herself from Europe and from the United States. "I am still of the opinion that without an understanding between France and Germany, there will be no Europe and that the fate of France and the fate of Germany are indivisible. Either both us will fall into the hands of Russia or we shall both remain free." City in Brief Norman E. Arendsen, of 1311 N.

000 CENTRAL MICHIGAN QUEENS Shockproof For School Educator Says Teachers Can Expect Anything OMAHA, Sept. 4 (AP) Good teachers, said Dr. Raymond Hatch Michigan State college, must be "shockproof." To illustrate, he told this story: A first grade pupil walked into the classroom and reported sleep with Daddy." teacher corrected. "I "No, no," sleep with Daddy." "Maybe so," replied the youngster. "But that must have been after I went to sleep." The Michigan state department of guidance and counselor training head ended his talk to no Omaha teachers with a chuckling "A good sense of humor helps." Concluded from Page One for Channel 10 several years ago but the petition was denied because of the proposed location in the Lansing area which would have.

interferred with stations at Milwaukee, London, and Columbus, O. When the channel was definitely placed in the Parma-Onondaga area by the FCC, the college again petitioned that channel be reserved for educational television. This request was denied by the FCC. WOULD SHARE TIME A third petition by the college for the use of Channel 10 as an educational, non-profit station on a license was pending when the decision to share the channel was made. The amendment to the petition, filed Friday, represents a decision that a better program service time than by operating independcould be provided ed by sharing the ently, Denison said.

"The Television Corporation of Michigan has been assured of network services, meaning that it would attract to the channel viewers who might not be attracted by straight education programs," he said. "On the other hand, the strong educational and public service program provided by M. S. C. on its own time would make the combined programs of the two stations much stronger and more attractive than those which might be provided by any of the other applicants for the channel." If the petition is approved, the two organizations would have independent call letters and would operate from separate studios.

They would share the transmitter and tower on a rental basis. A tentative schedule, presented to the FCC, calls for the college station to be on the air from 9:30 a. m. to 2 p. m.

and from 6 p. m. to 7:30 p. m. on week days; from 10 a.

m. to 2 p. m. on Saturday; and from noon to 4 p. m.

on Sundays. The rest of the time during each day would be used by the Television Corporation of Michigan. Traffic. Concluded from Page One en by Whaley crashed into the of one driven by Dale D. Rider, of 840 Pearl Charlotte, causing the Rider car to overturn and fire.

The Automobile Club of Michigan has estimated that a record 2,500,000 automobiles will travel the state's highways before holiday week-end closes at night Monday. Backing up that estimate reports from Port Huron of bumper-to-bumper traffic headed north on highway US-25. Equally heavy traffic reports were filtering from other sections of the state. State police at the East Lansing post said traffic in their patrol area was unusually heavy late day afternoon and into the ning, but was about normal Saturday morning. They said a second out-bound rush was expected to begin 4 p.

The company claimed to have broken an 81-day walkout in wage dispute after 99 regular and 45 newly hired employes entered the plant.

It was the second day the back-to-work movement. Management of the electrical apparatus firm said the plant would open again Tuesday and warned that any of the 1,200 production workers who failed to return to work by Wednesday would be fired. NO COMMENT Charles Kelly, business agent for the striking local, said the strikers would stick together "more solidly than ever." He declined to comment on the court picketing restriction until the order was studied by attorneys. The strike began June 15 as the union backed up a demand for five-cent hourly pay hike, plus seventh paid holiday. The company agreed to the paid holiday but fell two cents short in the wage demand.

A lengthy series of bargaining sessions recessed last week without a sign of a settlement. Rep. Kit Clardy (R-Mich) charged today that strike at the Detroit plant of the Square company "is a Communist-dominated operation" and said he would recommend an inquiry by the house un-American activities committee. PROBES COMMUNISTS Clardy is a member of the unAmerican activities committee and headed a subcommittee which probed Communist infiltration education and industry in Detroit, Lansing and Flint earlier this year. He disclosed today house committee investigators had been lookinto the Square strike: "This is a Communist-dominated operation," Clardy said.

Mr. Murninghan reported, and he Their contribution in was $81.76, paid high tribute to the youngsters for taking time from their summer play to help carry on the fight against polio. "Those boys and girls," he said, "certainly set a pattern for their elders to follow if this important fund appeal is to reach its goal when all reports and gifts are received." The drive chairman said the county's sum will be increased when the remaining 700 canisters are received and the gifts dropped into them are counted by Mrs. Owen Gleason, chapter secretary, and her volunteer aides. He urged persons who have not sent in their dime folders and other gifts to do so immediately to help finance completion of the vaccine test, care polio victims and treatment of the newly stricken.

Autopsy Planned In Woman's Death HASTINGS, Sept. 4 (UP) Barry county sheriff Ciarence Donovan said today he will not know until next Tuesday or Wednesday what caused the death of Mrs. Nellie Stacey, 34, of Parchmont, who died under mysterious circumstances Thursday. An autopsy performed on the woman's body Friday failed to show what caused her death. Mrs.

Stacey, her husband, Miles, 32, an ex-convict, and their four children were on a picnic at Horseshoe lake south of here when she became ill and was rushed to Pennock hospital here by her 15-year-old son and a friend. She was dead on arrival at the hospital. Police were unable to locate her husband for several hours after her death, but arrested him when he showed up at the hospital early Friday. He is being on a parole violation charge because he left Kalamazoo county.

Open Sundays BARNES Avenue Floral 725 W. BARNES AVE. Phone 55431 (P)-An outbreak of mild sleeping this lower Rio Grande valley city campaign today. was a relatively harmless form cell-destroying sleeping sickness, which suspected of having polio. Dr.

Charles H. Miller, head of the Hidalgo county health unit, said "more than 600 persons may be infected" and that laboratory tests were awaited. State health officer Henry Holle said in Austin that 400 to 600 persons had the disease. Dr. Miller, announced the U.

S. public health service and Texas state health department are cooperating in a big mosquito-killing drive to be launched Tuesday. Meanwhile, he asked help of citizens of this city of about 15,000 persons and others in the populous semi-tropical county. Clean up old trash, repair broken window and door screens, cut high weeds and remove all water standing in pools, he urged. Dr.

Miller said it had not yet been determined that the particular virus in this encephalitis outbreak is carried by mosquitoes and said the eradication program was a protective measure. "If it turns out, as we expect and hope, that this is a mild and relatively harmless type of said Dr. Miller, "it will be a great relief to us here because we thought at first it was polio." He said health authorities or seven cases a during the usual were alarmed when the apparent incidence of polio, after only six peak months of May, June and July, climbed rapidly in August and early September. Initial symptoms of polio and encephalitis are similar. They are severe headache, fever of 102 degrees or more, stiff neck, and por even coma.

But encephalitis varying ins degrees of drowsiness, stuvirus attacks the brain while polio affects the spinal cord. Dr. Miller said two deaths here may be the result of encephalitis; that tests are being made to determine the cause. He said a number of apparent sleeping sickness cases are under study in adjacent Cameron county. The health officer said the encephalitis form here was not so severe as that involved in a 1952 outbreak in California and "much, much less serious than the outbreak in St.

Louis in 1936." It was reported those contacting the disease are very sick for four to six days after which extreme fatigue continues for several days. The 1952 outbreak of sleeping sickness in California resulted in 47 deaths out of more than 700 human cases reported. It was the state's worst year for the disease, which was predominately in the 20 central counties. An emergency $250,000 grant from the state helped carry out a fight against mosquitoes. St.

Louis suffered two serious outbreaks of what was called "St. Louis encephalitis" by medical men. In 1933 there were 130 deaths reported out of 477 known cases. Four years later 107 died with 437 cases reported. In both outbreaks the disease affected persons 50 years old or older more severely than young people.

Football Star's Sentencing Set MT. CLEMENS, Sept. 4 (UP)Former Grosse Pointe high school Football Star Martin Allard, 18, will be sentenced Sept. 11 on a charge of assault and battery. Justice Kenneth N.

Sanborn of Clinton township set the sentencing date after Allard was found guilty of the charge Friday by a six-man jury.

C. A. Aquatic conference officially went on record Saturday as giving a guarded recommendation for competition in sports for children. The conference, which wound up a five-day session at the Kellogg Center Friday said it believed in competition "but the results should be closely watched." More than 100 Y. M.c A.

swimming instructors attended the ference. Competition among, youngsters has been a hotly debated issue among educators for the past 'several years. In order to somewhat qualify its stand on competition the conference recommended the altering of age limits. The 12, 14 and 17 and under age classes have been changed to two-year groups beginning at eight and under and goin to 16 years of age. -Dr.

Thomas Kirk Cureton, director of the physical fitness institute at the University of Illinois, said the basic reason for the age change was to meet the needs of the increasing number of young boys entering the program. In its series of 50 resolutions the conference also called for a wider program of instruction for the proper use of aqua lungs and "skin" diving techniques. The program would also include the proper use of flippers and face masks. These new ideas in swimming that have swept the younger generation are extremely dangerous and have resulted in some deaths because the equipment was not handled right, Cureton said. Dr.

Cureton and Thomas Edwards, of Toledo, H. T. Friermood, of New York; Edward Griffin, of Indianapolis; Lynn R. Russell, of Detroit, and Charles McCaffree, swimming coach at Michigan State college, composed the executive group that was making the official evaluation of the conference Saturday, Billfold, Purse Reported Stolen The theft of a billfold and purse containing a small amount of cash from the Michigan United Fund office, Room 474, Hollister building, was reported to city police Saturday.
