Dulles, in his secret testimony before tiie House group last week, said it would be "very regrettable" if the resolution does not get through Congress by the end of this month. He said "it is our definite belief that this area is very likely to be lost" unless the United States moves in quickly with help for nations there.

"And if it is lost," he said, "it will be the greatest victory that the Soviet Communists could ever have gained because if they get this area they in effect will have gotten Western Europe without a war." Support for Eisenhower's request came Sunday from former President Truman. In a statement issued at his home in Independence, Truman said, "Congress has no alternative but to go along with the President in this program to prevent the Russians from taking over the whole strategic Middle Truman did not endorse the administration's resolution as it now is worded. He also voiced criticism of Eisenhower administration handling of Middle East policy.

The Foreign Office says he has asked for asylum. Both agree the doctor, identified only as Biryukov, is in a mental hospital. The Moscow broadcast Sunday night claimed this is the reason: Having failed to force Biryukov to stay in Britain and seeking to cover up their traces, the British secret police are obviously trying to make out that Biryukov is a lunatic." The broadcast added that Soviet Ambassador Jacob Malik had protested to the Foreign Office and demanded "his immediate release and free permission for him to return to his country." The Foreign Office acknowl edged that Biryukov is at the hospital but said he applied for asylum and asked to be spared any visit by Soviet officials.

A Russian Embassy official was permitted to talk only with the doctor in charge.

The "risky course" if it relies entirely estimated surplus for this year is By CARL IIARTMAX BUDAPEST, Hungary Premier Janos Kadar's regime, hitting back at crippling walkouts and demonstrations, has ordered death within 24 hours for promoters of strikes.

The harsh decree issued Sunday gave another twist to tight controls imposed when martial law was proclaimed Dec. 9. Westerners here, bracketing the new decree with a previous one banning unauthorized public meetings and parades until March 31, said the government obviously fears the people's mood. Soviet armored cars still prowl the streets of Budapest to back up the government. The broad antistrike move provides that anyone "disturbing the activity of a factory by his presence or by any other means" can be brought before a special court and hanged in 24 hours.

This extends the authority of these courts, originally set up to handle cases involving murder, looting, arson, and the concealment of weapons. The latest pronouncement authorized death sentence also for anyone found guilty of damaging or endangering public utilities or any other "vital enterprises" any employing 100 or more workers. The Budapest radio said the extension of the death sentence was necessary because "hostile elements have started up new instigating activity in recent days, after they failed to gain control through armed revolution." Youth Who Fled Jail Captured EDWARDSVILLE. Kenneth Earl Tipton, 17, of Venice, who fled on foot from the county jail here shortly after noo.i Saturday, was taken into custody by a state highway patrolman about three hours later only two blocks away from the jail. Tipton, in custody since Dec.

26, while awaiting grand jury action on burglary-larceny and auto theft charges pending against hjm from the Tri-Cities area, made a dash to freedom after being permitted to use the phone in the jail office to call his mother at Venice shortly after noon Saturday. Tipton, hatless and cpatless when he escaped from jail while being led back to his cell, told officers he had gone from store to store in the downtown area and spent some time in a garage to "get warmed up" before State Patrolman Melvin Thurston recognized him from a description broadcast over the state police radio and apprehended him as he crossed the street at the Edwardsville National Bank Building corner shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday. By JAMES BACON HOLLYWOOD (m Humphrey Bogart, one of the movies' greatest talents and certainly its most non-conforming non conformist, died today of cancer of the esophagus. He was 56.

As late as Saturday night, Bogie, talking optimistically with friends, gave no sign the end was so But Sunday morning he sank into a coma from which he never revived. The end came at 2:10 a.m. with one final deep sigh. At his bedside was his wife, actress' Lauren Bacall. Asleep nearby In the sprawling Holmby Hills manse were the two Bogart children, Stephen, 8, and Leslie, 4.

Thus cancer killed off the Academy Award winning star. His physician said it was a spread of the original malignancy that brought on death. Unlike most victims of cancer in the throat area, Bogart's voice was not affected. Until the final coma, it was the same old Bogart bark mat used to make the toughest screen hoodlums drop the gun. Bogart.

though dying, had been comfortable in his last days. A re- cent operation had removed some; scar tissue on a nerve and given him much relief. Funeral arrangements, still pending, called for burial Wednesday or Thursday at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in nearby Glendale, final resting place of many a movie great. Mrs. Bogart asked that flowers be omitted and that money instead be sent to the American Cancer Institute.

Report Theft and Recovery of Auto Manuel Forrest of 912 Market St. in a call to the police station shortly before noon Sunday, reported both theft and recovery of his automobile which had disappeared from in front of his home over night. He related that he had just found his car at Ninth and Belle, and thai the wiring had been tampered with in an apparent theft effort. Policemen sent to examine the car found ignition wires loosened and dangling under the dash, and concluded someone had failed in an effort to get the car started by use of a jumper. It could have been coasted down hill from Forrest's home to the point where it was recovered.

HIGHTOWKR WASHINGTON IP-The Western Powers apparently intend to make i a major effort to get agreement! with Egypt in the next seven' weeks on some practical plan for operation of the Suez Canal. The need for at least a provisional accord with Cairo by March 1 was stressed by both Secretary of State Dulles and French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau when they met here Friday, according to information that became available today. Diplomats believe this estimate will be accepted by the new British government of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.

The Suez Canal, jammed during the recent fighting in Egypt, is expected to be partially cleared by March at least to i accommodate ships of up to 10,000 tons, which comprise about half i the canal's tanker traffic. From that date until the waterway is entirely free of wreckage, sometime in May. some authority must decide which ships will not go through the canal, which will, and in what order of priority. Pineau told Dulles he thought the shipping nations should make the decision. Diplomats said Pineau did not seek and Dulles did not give any formal commitment for a concerted plan of attack on the problem.

But in general, informants said, they see eye to eye on the following points: 1. The Suez Canal Users Assn. probably should be expanded to the largest possible membership and should have a large role in future relations with Egypt over the canal. 2. A system of priorities for shipping should be handled by the users association because Egypt is not equipped to do it.

3. The users association could collect tolls from the shippers and pay part of the money to Egypt. Sikeston Man Killed In Two-Car Crash SIKESTON, Mo. if Drury A. Wake of Sikeston, 42-year-old district deputy grand lecturer of the Missouri Grand Lodge of Masons, was fatally injured Saturday night in a collision west of Sikeston on U.

By LARRY KftAMP SPRINGFIELD, 111. William Grant Stratton's inauguration today for four more years as governor marked another big step in the career of the 42-year-old Illinois Republican party leader. Despite a heavy snow, the GOP administration marshalled the traditional pomp for investing a chief of state with power. State and national dignitaries were among the thousands who were drawn to the stale capital for the noon-to-midnight round of induction events.

The climax had an early place on the program, with Chief Jus- lice Ray I. Klingbiel of the Supreme Court administering the oath to Slratlon and five other Republican elective officers. They are John W. Chapman, lieutenant governor; Charles F. Carpentier, secretary of state; Elbert S.

Smith, auditor; Latham Castle, attorney general, and Elmer J. Hoffman, state treasurer. Hoffman's term is for two years, the others, for four. Held lit Armory The state Armory, gaily with bunting and baskets of flowers, was the scene of the swearing-in ceremonies to allow 6,000 to witness them and then hear Stratton outline to a joint legislature meeting the policies of hii administration. Facilities for photographic, radio and television crews were expanded to permit recording of the proceedings.

The inauguration provided a new peak for a brilliant political career launched, by Stratton at the of 26. In .1940, he began with election as congressman-at-large and a.s state treasurer in 3942. Then he went onto a second term in the U. S. House in 1947-19, and to state treasurer again in 1951-33.

One notable omission by Stratton from the Morey-Jonner report was a proposed corrupt practices act covering political campaign contributions and expenses.

Nor did Stratton mention a State Crime Commission, also proposed by the Morey-Jenner plan. Stratton in his message touched on another constitutional amendment that of lowering the voting age from 21 to 18, He said this change "seems desirable" because young people today are better informed on public questions than ever before. He recommended salary increa- es for state employes and a permanent advisory commission to study higher education.
