How South Dakofa Senators Voted Washington South Dakota's two GOP senators, Case and Mundt, voted against a bill authorizing a billion dollars in long-term, low interest loans for construction of public works. The bill passed the Senate Wednesday night, 60-26, and was sent to the House. project near the Great North- Railwav crossine.

900 million dollars of A-B-C funds for fiscal 1960. These would be matched on the usual 50-50 basis. Eisenhower centered his criticism on the 400 million dollar special A-B-C fund. particularly on the provisions which changed for it the long-standing 50-50 matching formula and which permitted the loans to states of part of their share. The President said he would resist any attempt to repeat these provisions in the future.

Sen. Gore (D-Tenn), chief sponsor of the the President's statement indicates "He is against the provision of the bill designed to break the back of the recession." GORE SAID THE 400 million contained the best job-making potential of any section of the bill because A-B-C projects can get under way more quickly than the more complex superhighway construction. The senators said it was necessary to break the 50-50 formula for this one snerial I formula for this one special fund because state legisla lures are not in session to provide the extra matching money. 250,000 Cubans Put in Reserve Havana (yp) President Ful-gencio Batista abruptly swept imore tnan ZaO.OUO public service employes into the military reserve today and ordered that they be called to arms if necessary to combat uprisings and strikes.

The President's action was praised by both Democrats and Republicans in Congress. Leaders from both sides said the measure should give a substantial lift to the economy. These are the two apportionments to the states which can be made immediately under the bill: 400 million dollars of ex tra federal money for fiscal 1959 for primary, secondary and urban road systems often designated A-B-C roads.

This would have to be matched by 200 million of state money but the states could borroW 115 million of their share from Washing ton. Projects must be under contract by Dec. 1 tnis year. 200 million dollars of extra U.S. grants for the in terstate system of superhighways for fiscal 1959.

James Bradv of the public information office said SAC is Drohibited from eiv ing out cumulative figures on Editors Hear Ike Argue for Defense Plan Washington UP) President Eisenhower today described his Pentagon reorganization plan as a blueprint for "safe ty with solvency." He accused his critics of indulging in either nonsense or misrepre sentation.

The proposal sent to Con gress yesterday, Eisenhower said, would not set up a czar or a Frussian-type general staff by centralizing military operational authority in the office of the secretary of defense and the Joint Chiefs of staff. "Nonsense," said the President. NEITHER, HE asserted, would it deprive Congress of its historic power over the purse by giving the secretary more discretion the use of money. At the least misconceptions at the most misrepresentations, Lisen- hower said. Rather.

Eisenhower said, the" moves are those demanded by such factors as these: "The waging ot war oy separate ground, sea and air forces is gone forever. "The fact is, modern weap ons have scrambled traditional service functions. "This constant change, as well as continually discovered new opportunities to improve efficiency, are compelling reasons for giving the secretary (of defense) a reasonable flexibility in the use of funds." Eisenhower's address was' given to a luncheon meeting of the American Society of Newspaper Editors and the International Press Institute. From the outset, it was in the tone of his news conference announcement that he would fight and fight hard for the program, no matter who was against it Urging swift approval of the controversial plan by Congress, Eisenhower said "Peace, national safety survival itself demand of America the utmost strength in its every respect spiritual, intellectual and scientific, as well as economic and military." EISENHOWER spoke out in the face of a sharp challenge to his proposal from one of the most influential lawmakers at the Capitol Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) of the House Armed Services Committee. Within hours after the President sent his proposal formally to the Congress yesterday, Vinson cut loose in a House speech in which he called it a move toward setting up a "Prussian-type supreme high command." Vinson also moved, to give uniformed critics of the reorganization plan a public forum for their objections.

He announced that hearings on the plan, which his committee will start Tuesday, will be open-door affairs. Some other members of Congress besides Vinson have been sharply critical of the reorganization plan. Taking note of Vinson's criticism without mentioning him by name, Eisenhower said foes of the plan will contend it seeks to set up "a monstrous general staff usnnilv called 'Prussian and that such a staff in the U0 dominate our armed forces and in due course will threaten our liberty." "That is nonsense," Eisenhower said. came out to investigate the explosion, however, since the street has been the scene of several bombings during the nationalist rebellion against French rule. It appeared likely the bombing was the work of extremeist French men angered by U.S.

pressure on the French government to reach a settlement with the Arab government of neighboring Tunisia. Debate in the French assembly yesterday on the U.S.British proposals for a settlement which ended in the defeat and downfall of Premier Felix Gaillard's government brought a flood of anti American sentiment from rightist deputies. The French right wing in both Algeria and France have long complained that the United States is trying to undermine the French in North America. A I ft.

Senate OKs City Public Works Fund Washington The Sen ate has passed' another on the list of Democratic-spon- sored antirecession bills a billion-dollar federal loan fund for city public works projects.

The measure now goes to the House where key Democrats have introduced similar legislation. The subject is being considered by the House Banking Committee in hearings now under way on unemployment. THE SENATE passed the bill last night 60-22 despite Eisenhower administration opposition and after overriding Republican attempts to tone down major provisions. Forty Democrats and 20 Republicans voted for passage, with four Democrats and 22 Republicans opposed. Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B.

Johnson (D-Tex) called the public works bill "an extremely important measure." He said "more proposals to combat the recession" would be coming along. However, he said he believed most of the anti recession bills so far had received nonpartisan consideration and urged that this continue. "There is no partisan credit to be made out of the he said. THE PUBLIC works bill authorizes a billion dollars of loans running up to 50 years at a Vk per cent interest rate for a wide variety of public works projects including school and hospital construction as well as such standby works as streets and sewers. The loans would be available both to cities and states, but -sponsors said they expected it would chiefly benefit smaller cities.Many of these are unable to borrow at lower than V'z per cent, the sponsors said.

Four hundred million dol lars would be a revolving fund to be used over and over as loans were repaid. The other 600 million would be available for lending only said, "there is no definite cause except perhaps juvenile defiance of authority." He said some of the par ticipants will be invited to a meeting April 26 for interviews and the situation will be discussed then.
