Eisenhower enjoys a big laugh, as he looks at a cartoon of himself made while he was speaking yesterday before the National Cartoonists Society. Each member gave a drawing to the president at meeting's end. Behind the president is his press secretary, James Hagerty. For what made Eisenhower laugh, see cartoon by Bill Yates, N. below.

AP Wirephoto 1 -Year Trade Act Passed By Senate WASHINGTON The Senate last night passed a one-year extension of the 20-year-old Reciprocal Trade Agreements law despite Democrats' cries that the extension was "an empty gesture." The vote was 71-3. Sens. Butler R-Neb, Malone IR-Nev and McCarran D-Nev voted no. Before the final decision, the chamber beat down, 45-32, a Democratic move for a liberalized, three-year extension as originally favored by Pres. Eisenhower.

Florida's Sens. Holland and Smathers joined the majority of Democrats in voting for a three-year plan. The one-year bill now goes back to the House for consideration of minor Senate amendments. Its passage complies with the latest stand of Pres. Eisenhower, although he originally sought the broader plan.

This plan called for a three-year extension with new powers for the president to cut tariffs up to 15 pet. It was rejected by a solid lineup of 39 Republicans, who also were joined by six Democrats. IKE EASED DEMANDS The president's three-year plan met a cold reception from key Republicans, particularly in the House Ways and Means Committee, and the president announced last month he would accept for the time being a simple one-year extension of the present law. However, Sen. Gore D-TennJ contended Eisenhower really still wanted his first proposal, and Gore embodied it in the substitute which 22 senators joined with him in sponsoring.

Gore declared the United States should liberalize its trade policies, not only to help its free world friends, many of whom he said must trade to live, but also in the interests of American producers who must sell substantial portions of their output abroad. The idea of the reciprocal trade program is to negotiate pacts cutting U. S. tariffs in return for trade' concessions from other nations.

The spokesman said -a major battle was won at Morales yesterday and that he expected the invasion, launched seven days ago with the object of overthrowing President Ja-cobo Arbenz Guzman's leftist Govt, would be over in about a week. But the "liberation" forces of Guatemalan Col.

Carlos Castillo Armas, leader of the revolt to overthrow the leftist regime of President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman, claimed they were holding 16 towns inside Guatemala. The fifth rebel communique of the day declared a battle was continuing in "bloody fashion" for Chiquimula, a little over 20 miles inside the border and less than 70 miles northeast 'of the capital city. SESSION CALLED At United Nations, N. Guatemala won a round in its Soviet-supported campaign to keep the Guatemalan conflict before the UN Security Council. Guatemala demanded Tuesday the convening of a second urgent session of the council on the grounds that the ceasefire resolution unanimously adopted at the council's first such meeting last Sunday had not been heeded.

U. S. Chief Delegate Henry Cabot Lodge council president for June, called for the second meeting to be held this afternoon after he had received additional requests from two Latin American members Brazil and Colombia. Guatemala is not a member of the council. Meanwhile, well informed sources reported that Honduras is about to demand the expulsion of Amadeo Chinchilla, Guatemalan ambassador, on the grounds that he instigated leftist students here to stage a demonstration in the Honduran capital Wednesday.

"We are very appreciative of that," Davis replied. "We realize your problems and know what you are up against, but we believe we are entitled to this money. "We would be happy to obtain rights-of-way if we received that $150,000 a year," he said. TRAFFIC HEAVY The mayor commented official surveys show that Orlando has more traffic coming in than any other city in the state except Miami. "That's why we're floating a three-million-dollar bond issue to widen streets.

But we've got to get traffic on out to the south and across Lake Lucerne. That is a city, county and state proposition."

Pentagon speculation as to the choice of the site had been heavily in favor of the Colorado Springs site. It is near the headquarters of the Air Defense Command and a favorite spot of many air force generals. It was reported that Pres.

Eisenhower had a private choice for the home of the academy, but he didn't make it public. However, Denver, 60 miles north of the academy site, is Mrs. Eisenhower's home town and the president took a vacation near Denver last year. The site is about 15,000 acres about six miles north of Colorado Springs. The land is now mostly privately owned ranch land used for grazing.

The altitude of the site varies between 6,400 and 7.500 feet. The climate is semi-arid, with cool summers and moderate winters. ate return of vessel, crew andy cargo and "severe punishment of the American officials responsible for this unlawful act." It threatened to take "appropriate measures for safeguarding the security of Soviet merchant ships sailing in that area." This threat could presage possible Soviet naval patrols in the water approaches to Indochina and Southeast Asia. The U. S.

It threatened plunge U. relations to a new low. The note said it received a report at 4 a.m. from the skipper of the Soviet tanker Tuapse of the Black Sea Shipping Line that it was being forced at gunpoint to follow a destroyer-type warship in an area about 300 miles south of the Nationalist Chinese island of Formosa. "Further fate of the Soviet vessel and of its crew is unknown," the note said.

"It is obvious that seizure of the Soviet tanker by a warship in waters under control of the U. S. Navy could be brought about only by the naval forces of the U.S.A."

"We'll be satisfied with the $150,000," Davis told county commissioners.

He estimated residents of Orlando are paying 60 pet. of the county's tax bill. Commissioners gave no encouragement whatsoever to the mayors, and several of them expressed the opinion the cities already are receiving substantial help from the county. Commr. A.
