He had served 2 years. The Puerto Rican restaurant worker walked out of the prison colony at Norfolk last night wearing a new suit the State gave him and with $52 in cash he had earned in prison. With a wide grin, he said: "I give my thanks to God and the people who helped.

All my prayers be answered one by one. I hope God bless all the people that help me in this case, this case that was my life." He learned his English in prison. Gov.

Eisenhower told his news conference that he accepts honest criticism and ignores personal criticism. He said criticism does not affect his health.

The President was asked if he was aware that Sen. Goldwater (R-Ariz) had characterized Eisenhower's $71,800,000,000 spending budget as a betrayal of Republican trust. Eisenhower said members of Congress have a right to their opinions. He said historically there has always been a clash of ideas and of methods of promoting those ideas. Without any direct reference to Goldwater's criticism of the "modern Republicanism" which Eisenhower has been advocating, the President said this day and time the government cannot limit itself to the processes of 1890.

He said the government must adapt the principles of the Constitution to the inescapable indus trial conditions of today. Eisenhower said he believes profoundly in the programs he has proposed to Congress. A reporter noted that Eisenhower's budget represents only 18 per cent of the national income. The reporter said this is the lowest percentage since World War II. Eisenhower replied that business friends have told him their own budgets are going up 6, 8 or 10 per cent a year.

He said they are astonished that the federal government's budget has increased only 3'i per cent. Nevertheless, Eisenhower said, 72 billion dollars is a terrific amount of money to be put to purposes that will not provide new Jobs. He said it is all right with him if some cuts can be made, but he added the outlay cannot be reduced to any great extent except by elimination of some of the programs.

King Hussein has been reported Involved with his Premier in a grim struggle to keep this little country from divorcing itself completely from western influence. The resignation of the government threatened to touch off a deep crisis. Jordan's very existence has been considered threatened by' the pressure of international events in the Middle East. King Hussein has taken a strong stand against Communist influence in this country. The Cabinet, however, a few days ago decided to establish full diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union on an embassy level.

The Cabinet, which included members considered openly pro-Communist, also was hostile to the United States and the Eisenhower Doctrine declaring American resistance to the threat of Red aggression in the Middle East. Nabulsi submitted his resignation to King Hussein, and a palace spokesman said it was accepted. He became Premier in October, 1956. Nabulsi has been closely aligned with Egypt and Syria throughout the current Middle East crisis, in which the Soviet Union made propaganda strides in these areas. In the past few days there have been evidences of heavy pressure on King Hussein.

Btad reported today that 'his office has received from the South Dakota Department of Highways a proposed interstate highway route along the south and east sides of Sioux Falls which has been approved by the Bureau of Public Roads.

A letter from A. M. Young, pre-construction engineer with the department, was accompa nied by a map showing the proposed known as Inter state Route 95. The route connects with Inter state Route 93 southwest of Sioux Falls on the south side of the Great Northern railroad tracks. It extends in a northeasterly di rection on the south side of the Railway to a point east of Cliff avenue.

I After crossing the Big Sioux River the route reaches to Logan avenue and then runs north to connect with Interstate Route 94 a mile east of present Highway 77. At that junction the road will turn east to Brandon. I As shown by the same map, projected Route 93 approaches Sioux Falls from the south and extends straight from Beresford to a point a mile south of the Minnehaha-Lincoln County line. 1 At that point it bends slightly to the northeast and then con. tinues on north, crossing Highway 16 half a mile east of the Great Lakes tank farm.

i In the neighborhood of the new Highway Department buildings liorthwest of Sioux Falls, Route. 93 again jogs to the northeast to become part of present Highway 38. Then it goes on north to connect with Route 94. It is anticipated that the minimum right of way for the federal aid interstate route will be 20j feet, especially along Logan avenue, and the balance, according to Young, will probably be around 300 feet "It Is requested," the state engineer said in hlsjettar to "that the city restrict future building along this proposed route that would interfere with the acquisition of right of way and construction in the future." The City Commission heeded that request earlier in the week by rejecting an application for a special permit to build a root beer stand at 10th street and Logan avenue. ALASKA CENTER OF EARTHQUAKE Seattle, April 10 JPh-A strong earthquake was recorded on seismographs in many parts of the nation and Alaska early today, and a University of Washington expert pinpointed the center in the Alaska Peninsula area, Frank Neumann, the university's seismologist, described it as strong enough to have been damaging in a populated area.

Neumann and Dr. Beno Gutenberg of the California Institute of Technology agreed it was not an aftershock of the recent severe tremors along the Aleutian Island chain to the west, the first of which produced a Pacific Ocean tidal wave. Neumann said a check of the recording times at various stations Indicated it probably centered south of the Alaska Peninsula, to the west of Kodiak Island. It was not felt by residents of Anchorage, about 400 miles to the northwest. Is the Kremlin Really in Ireland? That's what one "son of Erin" thought in the latest Gallup Poll quiz.

He denied a request by a group of taxpayers who' said they wanted to use the county board of equalization values in levying taxes. The taxpayers were represented by L. E. Schreyer, Lake Andes attorney.

State's Attorney M. E. Miller, represented the board of county commissioners. Judge Bandy's ruling was op-posie to that of Circuit Judge R. C.

Bakewell of Plankinton who had held that counties in which the auditor had not "warranted" the tax list could use the county board valuations. Bakewell said that no taxes could be collected, in a legal sense, unless the warrant had been issued. The 1957 Legislature passed a law permitting counties to roll back to county valuations if no taxes had been collected. The law originally was to have applied only to Minnehaha County which had not accepted any payment of 1956 taxes. Assessment rollbacks were later permitted in Davison, Brule, Miner and Brown counties under the interpretation given by Judge Bake-well.

Aldermen Flabbergasted By Letter Praising Them Louisville, Ky, April 10 Louisville's aldermen were dumbfounded. The aldermen opened a letter last night and found that instead of being taken over the coals, they were being praised "for ail the things (you) have done for us." The letter, signed by four cou pies, went on to list "the lovely parks and community centers, the very ample playgrounds, wonderful new swimming pools, etc." The aldermen said nothing like it had ever happened before.

A 19 word ad costs only 40c per da based on the economical 7 day rate, There are certain legal landmarks which must be followed, however, before an appeal can be brought before the Supreme Court.

One of these is that the person bringing the appeal must be an "interested" party; that is, he must be directly affected by the Circuit Court's action. At present there is no way of knowing how deeply the Supreme Court would delve into the tax situation. It probably could consider only the validity of tax rollbacks under the 1862 statute cited by Judge Bakewell. On the other hand, if the appeal is presented in proper form, it may be possible the court could rule on the constitutionality of a 1957 law which was designed to permit rollbacks only in Minnehaha County. There also is the possibility that the court may not accept the appeal, if it is not in proper form, if all the landmarks haven't been followed, or if the matter is decided not to be in the realm of the court In any event, the scope of the decision or even if an appeal will be accepted is entirely at the discretion of the court.

It has been suggested that the court accept typewritten instead of printed briefs in order to expedite a decision. There is precedent for this action, but again it is entirely the court's decision whether lt would accept such briefs. Mrs. McCarthy Is Not Present at Mamie's Luncheon Washington, April 10 (P) Mrs. Joseph McCarthy, wife of the Republican senator from Wisconsin, says she would not have attended a White House luncheon yesterday even if she had gotten her invitation in time.

"I wouldn't have gone anyway," she said yesterday, "when they wouldn't Invite my husband because of his fight against Communism I would hardly go either." Sen.
