West Germany urged the Big Three to stand firm against recognizing Red East Germany even at the risk of a new Berlin blockade. The Kremlin kept the West guessing on when to expect a note on Soviet intentions. East Germany maintained the war of nerves, referring to "gangsters" in West Berlin and demanding the U. British and French garrisons get out of the isolated city. West Germany took a strong stand opposing a plan said to be under study by the three powers to yield on East German control of vulnerable supply lines when and if the Accept I 1 aMBlaW'" -V -V West Appears Disagreed on Berlin Policy Moves to Be Used In Countering Red Action Debated WASHINGTON.

Nov. 22 ftf-The Western Allies showed evidence of disagreement today over just how tough to get in countering any Communist move aimed at squeezing them out of Berlin. Informed U.S. officials said this country would be in no hurry to break down Communist barricades with tanks, although the possible use of forcible measures has not been excluded. They said such measures almost certainly would not be needed in the first stages of any crisis.

This U.S. attitude differed sharply from that of German officials as reported in news dispatches from Bonn, the West German capital. These reports pictured the government of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer as urging the United States, Britain and France the West Berlin occupation powers to adopt a tough policy and to ram tanks through the barricades if necessary. Disagreement was also indicated over whether the Western (50) and halfback Howard Kisner (35). Other identifiable players are LSU end Mickey Mangham (86) and.

Following the stringent economy theme that dominated much of his recent campaign oratory, the chief executive sent orders to department agency heads to plan on further financial belt-tightening in the fiscal year ahead. This was disclosed today at the vacation White House here. His memorandum was signed and dispatched Thursday before he left Washington for a Thanksgiving holiday at the Augusta National Golf Club where he made the most of an Indian Summer sun today with another 18-hole round. Specific reductions in suggested budgets for the 1960 fiscal year actually have been under discussion for at least two weeks among the White House, the Treasury, the budget bureau and the departments involved. Eisenhower's aim was two-fold: To pull 1960 federal spending below the $79,200,000,000 estimated for this fiscal year; and to realize a substantial 1960 reduction, possibly as much as half, the federal deficit of $12,250,000,000 estimated for this fiscal year ending June 30.

TO SET BRAKES Some of Eisenhower's key fiscal consultants told United Press International recently that the chief executive was determined to see brakes applied to federal spending, the deficit substantially reduced and a check-rein put on the mounting federal debt. He was reported insistent even if this required curtailment of basic programs of government services which could be deferred or dropped until the federal books are more nearly in balance. A balanced budget for fiscal 1960 was regarded as impossible. House GOP leader Joseph W. Martin said recently after talking with the President that while Eisenhower wanted spending pulled down sharply, balancing the budget next year would require a "hat trick" which the administration would not attempt.

The Eisenhower memorandum of last Thursday called on all department heads to "live within" the reductions in their 1960 budgets, (Continnrd Fir. 75-Degree High Due Here Today Local weathermen predict the weekend's sunny and mild weather to continue today and tomorrow in Shreveport and vicinity. Today's temperatures are expected to reach a peak of 75 degrees, three degrees warmer than yesterday's highest recorded mercury mark of 72. The anticipated low during this morning's early hours was 43 degrees, compared with 39 yesterday. Light winds will blow from the south today at five to 12 miles an hour.

of Texas Milestone Bid to Bowl By JACK FISER Times Sports Editor TULANE STADIUM, NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 22 Louisi-ana State's upset-proof Tigers, fairly oozing with class and desire, raked in about all the honors that college football offers here this afternoon by crushing gallant' Tulane, 62-0, before 85,000 persons the largest crowd ever to witness an athletic event south of the Mason-Dixon line. The first and perhaps biggest-prize was LSU's first undefeated, untied season in 50 years. The second was virtually certain top-ranking among the nation's college teams a lofty status that the team had already held for several weeks. The third was the first Southeastern Conference championship annexed by a Tiger team since 1936.

And the fourth, tendered imme diately following the final horn, was an expected invitation to the Sugar Bowl grid classic to be played on Jan. 1, 1959. Sugar Bowl committeemen came to the See Additional Staff Photos, Stories on Page ID game with the bid in their pockets and would undoubtedly have offered it to Ole Lou regardless of the outcome. As it was, they left the premises congratulating them selves on obtaining the sterling services of the nation's choicest post-season "catch." The idenUty of the opponent is not as yet known probably won't be until after next week's games. Although the brilliant, sunny aft ernoon finished with everything LSU tried working beautifully, there were many moments of anxiety among War Skule rooters before the tide turned that way.

Coach Andy Pilney and his aides evidently had their green-clad charges as high as they can get for the opening kickoff, and this preparation job manifested inself in a close, well-played first half that found the National champs leading by only 6-0. In fact, the smoked-up Greemes accomplished the very unlikely feat of blanking the Bengals through the opening period, hold ing fast in a brilliant goal-line stand after a 34-yard gallop by LSU halfback Johnny Robinson had made a first down on tht Tulane eight. But all this battling was taking a heavier toll of the thinly-manned Tulane team than of the big Bengals, the Bandits and the Go-Team, Paul Dietzel's three famed tidal waves of manpower. Some tremendous punting by Tommy Davis kept the Wave backed up into its own country until the first team finally mounted a 75-yard payoff march in 11 plays early in the second stanza. The great Billy Cannon churned the final five, and Ole Lou was on its way to the races, even though Tommy Davis missed the extra point After the midway break, the Bengals came back determined to prove something, and the way they did it was a caution.

3-7131, 2-0381 "CHARGI IT! Russians quit Berlin This emerged from a press briefing given by Foreign Minister Heinrich von Bren-tano in West Berlin. He refused to allow himself to be quoted directly. But West Berlin Mayor Willy Brandt and Von Brentano told Eer-liners in a joint communique that the Western Big Three legally can stand fast in Berlin itself and have pledged they will defend the city. U. S.

forces were reported readying to meet any emergency. This highlighted an Allied idea that without any formal diplomatic recognition of the East German regime the West could deal with the regime as representing the Russians on any questions of transport in and out of the capital. PLANES MAY INTERFERE Some Western experts fear Communist fighter planes might interfere with Allied transport planes if another airlift is attempted. The Russians tacitly agreed to the airlift in 1948-49 by remaining in Berlin's air safety center. But if they withdrew this time, as they apparently plan to do, their East German replacement could claim Allied planes were flying over German territory without proper clearance unless the Allies gree to deal with the East Germans.

Soviet Premier Khrushchev has made it plain that the Soviet Union would back up East Germany in any armed clash with the West, presumably including any air clash. The proposal for limited dealings with the East Germans came under study after the Russians indicated they would hand over control of air, highway and rail links to East Germany. If the Western Allies refused to accept these controls, they would be confronted by a virtual blockade of their West Berlin military garrisons, isolated 110 miles deep in East Germany and encircled by 22 Russian divisions. The Allies therefore began mulling over the idea that the East Germans could be dealt with only as "agents of the Soviet Union." The Von Brentano briefing indicated the Bonn government does not regard this as feasible or advisable. If the East Germans began harassing West Berlin lifelines, the West might be pressured into negotiating with the East Germans.

This would amount to practical recognition. The West has refused to recognize East Germany, so as (Cfttitinutd 1 Twclv-A) 17 Crash Kills Four in Maine LIMESTONE, Maine, Nov. 22 UPI.

United Fund Drive to End Here Tuesday An urgent appeal to all captains, majors, group chairmen and division chairmen to complete their United Fund soliciting jobs by Tuesday noon when the drive is scheduled to end was sent out this week-end by William F. Rountree, general chairman of the 1958 United Fund campaign. Rountree reported the annual fund-raising campaign was "encouragingly close" to the goal of $861,428, and held out hope that the report meeting Tuesday would see the campaign over the top. He warned, however, that the success of the drive depended on how well the workers will complete unreported accounts and obtain increases from larger accounts which have failed to make their goals.

The current campaign goal is about $40,000 greater than the amount raised in last year's drive, and calls for an average increase in gifts of about five per cent. Rountree listed goals, the amount reported to date and the amount needed to reach 100 per cent, by each division, group or team, and urged workers to finish the job in the next three days. "As a personal favor will you give this job your very best effort for the next three days? he wrote. "We can go over our goal Tuesday. Let's do it!"

ROPED, BROUGHT IN tf. a a MKKiMWV Jackson Asks School Issue Suggestions" Appeals to People To Aid in Finding Lasting Solution By JAMES McLEAN EATON ROUGE, Nov. 22 Wl State Supt. Shelby M. Jackson appealed Saturday to the people of Louisiana to help suggest a permanent solution to the problem of school money.

"Many taxpayers think we are paying more than other states for public education," he said. For the 1957-58 school year, Louisiana ranked 29th in the nation in the amount spent per school pupil, he said. Jackson declined to go into tax questions, other than to say "without dedicated revenues for public education, it is difficult for school boards to plan ahead." "It is important," Jackson said, "that the citizens of this state find a way to provide permanent state revenues in order to guarantee every child, no matter where he may live, a minimum education. "I will be glad to work with all citizens, all officials or groups, in providing any information needed to help solve the problem of supporting schools adequately." Jackson will speak at the Louisiana Teacher Assn. convention opening in Alexandria Monday.

He said he would ask delegates "to get the true facts to the people." In the 1958 60-day Legislature, one senator proposed an open-handed approach to educational money needs through a nonpartisan committee of all factions. Gov. Earl Long agreed, but the step dwindled into nothing. At that time the administration held its famous closed-door joint legislative session to push fiscal facts into the ears of puzzled lawmakers. Long's special session program, which ended early Saturday, whipped together an emergency $14,700,000 without new taxes to keep schools open nine months.

But Long said it was only a temporary (Contln.fi an Tw-A he saw the deer swimming in the middle of the channel. Jones rowed out and roped him.

Rockefeller said today he agreed with Vice President Richard M. Nixon that the Republicans should develop as many potential presidential candidates as possible for I960.

Rockefeller, the GOP governor- elect of New York, conferred with Nixon for nearly an hour and then told newsmen: "We talked about strengthening the Republican Party and rebuilding it. I told the vice president I am going to work on the party in New York and will help in trying to vitalize the national party. We are going to work together in rebuilding the party. We have been friends for years Asked about the possibility that he might seek the presidential nomination in 1960, the New Yorker replied that his sole concern was to do a good job as governor. When a reporter suggested this was perhaps the best way to run for president, Rockefeller grinned but did not reply.

Prior to his meeting with Nixon, who long has been regarded as a probable leading contender for his party's presidential nomination, Rockefeller said he did not feei there was any "crowding of the bases." He told reporters he was on his way to see Nixon and "touch bases with him" on various matters of mutual interest. A newsman recalled that the old Brooklyn Dodgers once found themselves with two men on third base in a World Series game and asked if Rockefeller had any reference to that. Obviously amused, Rockefeller said "I don't feel any crowding of the bases, if you want to know the truth." The New Yorker flew to Wash' ington for a meeting of the Presi- Continad Pat.

style elections under a new constitution designed to end the political turmoil that brought down the Fourth Republic in chaos last May. Only the Communists and afew lonely left-wing independents such as former Premier Pierre Mendes-France stood against the wave of De Gaullism. The Communists are expected to drop at least half of the 145 seats they held under the Fourth Republic. Mendes-France, who battled against De Gaulle's new constitution is fighting for his life in his home district and other candidates of his leanings are swimming upstream. Interest boils down to whether the Communists can rebuild their popular vote after their stunning losses in Sept.

28 referendum that adopted the new French constitution, and whether the new assembly will be as splinered as the old. 18 PARTIES RUNNING With 18 fairly big parties running, plus splinter groups, there was little doubt the new Assembly would inherit many of the ailments of the old despite the "I love De Gaulle" campaign speeches of most candidates." About 26 million voters will select representatives from 2,900 candidates to fill 465 seats for metropolitan France. A majority is required for election tomorrow and less than 100 are expected to make the grade. That means most races will be decided in the runoffs Nov. '30, when only a plurality is required for election.

This will give a week for political horse-trading in which the Communists will be the big losers as many candidates drop out in favor of front-runners. The new Constitution, while strengthening the hand of the executive, swept away the old system of proportionate representation. under that system, each party was entitled to seats in the Assembly in proportion to its vote in each district. Now the voting is for candidates as in the United States, the winner takes all, and the Communists and Splinter parties no longer can pick up a few seats simply on the (Continif tin Par.

Deer Captured, Given To Zoo at Ford Park The Ford Park zoo has a new inmate who is "so wild he doesn't even know how to eat." He's a young five-point buck deer.
