President Feeling Pressure For Trip Through Far East WASHINGTON (AP) President Eisenhower was reported under mounting pressure today to expand his trip to Japan into a full fledged peace and friendship tour of the Far East. Government leaders of Formosa, South Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and the Indochina states were understood to be ready and eager to welcome Eisenhower to their countries after his Tokyo visit. Other Far East nations were expected to join imthe clamor to have the President pay good will visits to their countries while he is in the area. SEEMS INEVITABLE Some diplomatic officials believed ft Inevitable that Eisenhower would lengthen his tour, lest he injure the feelings of some friendly governments. South Korea's Ambassador You Chan Yang quickly predicted Eisenhower would visit his country.

Otherwise, he said, South Koreans "will feel very much slighted." Thus far, however, the White House was reported standing firm on Ihe President's decision to visit only Japan during his Far Enst swing. With Congress moving into its i a weeks as the political conventions approach, Eisenhower may feel he cannot spare from his duties the added time an extended Asian tour would take. The President, who is known to be in a traveling mood, announced his visit to Wednesday as the climax to conferences with visiting Japanese Premier Nobusuke Kishi. FORMAL INVITATION Accepting a formal invitation, Eisenhower agreed to visit Japan about June 20, one day after ending his scheduled 10-day tour of the Soviet Union as guest of Premier Nikita Khrushchev. At the same Ume, Eisenhower Invited Japan's Crown Prince Akihito and his young wife, Princess Miehiko, to come to the United States.

The timing on Eisenhower's visit to Japan opened up the prospect the President would fly in his jet airliner across Siberia to Soviet Pacific Ocean cily of Vladivostok. From there it is only a flight of a few hours to Tokyo. No American leader ever has traveled across this newly developing Soviet industrial area, once known mainly as the site of the Soviet Union's dreaded forced labor camps.

CAPITAL DRUG Traditional Coffee Stop To Be Felled By DAVE CHEAVENS AUSTIN W) The Capital Drug at 1300 Congress Avenue closes its doors Feb. 16, ending more than quarter century as a clearing house for political intrigue and government gossip.

It has been the undisputed coffee break and quick lunch center for thousands of slale workers, legislators, judges, politicians and lobbyists. The shabby old building just back of the Capitol goes down under the wrecker's hammer some time after March 1. It is being levelled to clear the way for progress and beauty on the expanding capitol campus. "That's all very well but I hate to see it go," mourned Eldridgn Moore, its original owner, who is now a retired Austin druggist. "I guess it has served coffee and lunch and aspirin tablets to more governors, judges and top political people than any other store in the stale." Capital Drug has never been a pharmacy.

"I called it Eldridge Moore No. 2 but we never put out prescriptions there. It was a gathering place, a kind, of a club, for sandwiches and lunches and coffee," Moore said. A few weeks ago when the lights failed in the glittering new courts building a baliff was sent out to buy candles. His first stop: Capital Drug.

They sold him some candles. "We have tried to be everything for everybody in the Capitol and this neighborhood," said Mrs. Elmer Haile, who manages the store for its present owner, the Joe D. Drug Co. of Arlington.

"I just don't know what some of the stale workers are going to do for place to relax and gossip when we have to close." said Mrs. Haile. She hns operated the store in recent years wilh her husband. 83, Dies In Hospiial Mrs. A.

Eisenhower May Be Convention Keynoter By JACK BELL WASHINGTON (AP) President Eisenhower apparently will ound the keynote of the Republican National Convention opening luly 25 in Chicago. Although Eisenhower is not like- to take over the duties of emporary who usually lelivers the keynote speech, Re- lublicans generally expect the President to set the tone for their campaign in a major address.

GOP National Chairman Tlirus- on B. Morton said it has been eft up to Eisenhower to decide which day he wishes to speak. MAJOR PART 'The President will have a major part in the convention," Morton said. "His speech may well furnish the keynote for the convention." Eisenhower's appearance would be calculated to give a lift to i convention that may lack crowd and television appeal because of the absence of any contest-for the party's top nomination. Vice President Richard M.

Nixon is almost certain to be named to head the ticket. Some Republicans have been worried about the contrast between their potentially cut-and- dried affair in Chicago and the dramatic battles Democrats may put on in Los Angeles two weeks earlier. NIXON AWARE Nixon himself is not unmindfu of this. He will welcome Eisenhower's appearance not only as a temporary stimulant to. the Republicans but because there is every indication the President wil strongly endorse Nixon as a didate.

Morton said the convention ar rangements committee will wait until late in April before canvassing the field of potential conven tion officers. Although Morton did not comment, there were reports in other quarters that the national chairman and Nixon hope Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller might be persuaded to accept a more active role than that of head of the New York delegation. NO ENCOURAGEMENT Rockefeller, however, apparent ly has given no cncouragemenl to any such -plans.

He quit as a potential rival for the top nomination with the statement that those who controlled the conventioi didn't want a contest. He hasn't praised Nixon since. Nixon, who is regarded as likely to have the final say in the matter, has indicated he wants Robert A. Taft son of the late Ohio senator, placed in an important convention job. Young Taft, who has dabblec in Ohio politics, may head one of Atlanta Negroes Win Restaurant Seating Battle ATLANTA (AP)-Negroes have won the right to sit wherever they please in the Atlanta airport restaurant.

The policy of the restaurant operated by Dobbs Houses Inc. had been to serve Negro patrons behind a screen, setting them apart from white customers. U.S. Dist Judge Boyd Sloan issued a decree Wednesday which permanently prohibits the restau rant from discriminating againsl persons because of race. H.

D. Coke, Birmingham Negro insurance executive brought suit after being refused service in the restaurant when he would not yield to the segregatioi policy. Splawii Services Scheduled Today DECATUR (Staff) Last rite for John Homer Splawn Sr. Decatur were to be held today a 2:30 p.m. in the Decatur Firs Baptist Church.

Texas Senators Again Split On Bill's Vote WASHINGTON (AP) two United a senators Wednesday split their vote ns the Senate passed 53-27 an amendment to its election bill. Sennte Majority Lender Lyndon R. Johnson voted for the measure which would require state and lo cnl committee supporting candidates for federal office to make financial reports to the tedera government. Sen.

Ralph Yarborough volei against tin measure. he major committees. He called on Nixon Wednesday and was re- orled to have been informed of vice president's plans for him. With Eisenhower sounding the ceynote and young Taft sharing the limelight, Nixon's friends think it will be relatively easy for Republicans to forget the differences that marked Eisenhower's convention victory over Sen. Taft in 1952.

But they haven't sewed up the seams split by Rockefeller's exit from competition. JAYCEES SLATE POLL TAX SALES CAMPAIGN Denton's Junior Chamber of Commerce is trying to make it easy for every eligible Dentonite to pay a poll tax before the Jan. 31 deadline. About 30 Jaycees will sell poll taxes during the next two weeks--and part of them will be sold from a drive- in location. Jimmy Normile has agreed to turn his service station at 303 N.

Elm into a drive-in poll tax booth until the drive ends. Lloyd Beaird, chairman of the poll tax drive, said the Jaycees will have special forms available for poll tax payers. The Jaycees can't actually sell the poll tax, but they can take the 1.75 toll and the filled-out form to Denton County Tax Assessor-Collector 0. N. (Newt) Seagraves.

Then Seagraves will mail the poll tax to the voters. Denton has been divided into districts for the drive, with each participating Jaycee covering a separate district. And all of Denton's civic clubs will get special attention from the Jaycees. Other poll tax committee members include Si Ragsdale, Don Samuelson and John Grady. IN FINCH TRIAL Defense Picks At Con's Testimony By JAMES BACON LOS ANGELES (AP) Jack Cody, a coarse, cocky con man who claims he was hired to kill, faced another seige by the cross- examiner in the Finch murder trial today as it became evident the defense will contend: 1.

That Cody was hired to entrap Barbara Jean Finch romantically, not to murder her. 2. That Dr. R. Bernard Finch was not armed when he went to see his wife the night of her death, and that he killed her by accident or in self defense.

Finch, wealthy 42-year-old surgeon, is on trial with his pretty mistress, Carole Tregoff, 23. They are accused of murder in the July 18 gunshot death of Mrs. Finch, 30. She was slain outside her suburban home. INSISTS ON PAY Cody, brought here to testify from the Minneapolis workhouse, insisted again Wednesday under cross-examination that the doctor and Miss Tregoff paid him $1,400 to do away with Mrs.

Finch, and that he had no intention of going through wilh it. But lie was more vague about his purported conversations with Miss Tregoff than he had been under examination by the prosecution. He said at one point that Donald Williams, a friend of Miss Tregoff, brought up the subject of murder while arranging for him to talk lo Carole in Las Vegas, Nev. At another point, he said it was Richard Keacliie, so-called middleman in setting up the meeting, who first mentioned murder. Neely Funeral Planned Friday Funeral services for William Thomas Neely, 79, of 501 Amarillo St.

will be held Friday at 2 p.m. in Grace Temple Baptist Church. The Rev. Don Waterson, pastor, will officiate. Interment will be in Roselawn Memorial Park under the direction of Goen Funeral Home.

Mr. Neely died in his home Wednesday at 1:40 p.m. after a six- week illness. He was a retired farmer. Born in Cooke County Sept.

15, 1800, Mr. Neely had been a resident of Denton County for 52 years and a Denton resident for 17 years. He was a charter member of the Grace Temple Baptist Church. Survivors include his wife; five sons, Major A. Neely and W.

Leant DU2-97M Then later he said: "I didn't know nothing about the murder until I talked to Carole." DATE SET Under questioning by Defense Attorney Grant B. Cooper, Cody said he agreed to kill Mrs. Finch with a shotgun July 4. He said Dr. Finh "would have an alibi because he was going to be at a tennis tournament (that day)." Cody testified he was in Los Angeles July 4, but simply gol drunk.

He said he had blown the $1,400 on Las Vegas gaming tables. Denton Area Due For More Cold Nights Warmer afternoons and continued cold nights are in prospect for Denton (or the rest of the week.

Town Threatened By Fiery Lava HONOLULU (AP) A 10-foot deep stream of boiling and hissing lava from Kilauea volcano stopped abruptly Wednesday night at the outskirts of the tiny, deserted village of Kapoho but a fiery finger headed for another hamlet on Hawaii Island. The inhabitants of the newly threatened village, Koae, north; east of Kapoho at the eastern tip of the island, were evacuated with Kapoho's 300 residents before and during the week-old eruption. Bevan Holds His Own LONDON (AP) Aneurin Bevan, deputy leader of Britain's Labor party, was reported still very ill today but apparently holding his own after a sudden setback in his recovery from a major abdominal operation. SPEARS CASE (Continued From Page 1) Frank, New York lawyer insured for $900,000 and named as a possible suicide bomber on another airliner which crashed in North Carolina Jan. If Spears has given any answers, the FBI won't say.

Newsmen have not been permitted to talk with him. The extent of the FBI's interest is indicated by the $35,000 bond il asked for Spears at his arraignment on the theft charge before U.S. Commissioner Carey B. Wilson. Spears waived preliminary hearing and was held in lieu of bond.

"I doubt if I could make it if you knocked $30,000 off of it," he said when the bond was set. Investigation into the two crashes both of National Airlines planes is continuing by the Civil Aeronautics Board and the Senate Aviation subcommittee in Washington. So far, their probes have not established that a bomb was responsible for either crash. The crashes claimed 76 lives, 42 in the Gulf and 34 near Bolivia, N.C. A reporter asked Spears Wednesday if he had bombed the plane.

He laughed and replied, "No. 1 may make a statement Wise Firemen Set For Oysters DECATUR (Staff) Approximately 175 members of the Wise County Volunteer Firemen Assn. will meet tonight at 7:30 for its quarterly meeting and annual oyster supper.

President of the association is Gerald Givens of Chico. tomorrow." He is accused of driving Taylor's car from Dallas to Arizona, while he had permission to drive it only from Tampa to Dallas. Testimony at a CAB hearing showed Taylor, 60, a Tampa tire salesman, served time with Spears in 1936. The two were said to have talked in Tampa before the Gulf of Mexico crash.

Only 10 bodies-none. of them Taylor's--were recovered. Alice Steele Taylor of Tampa previously had said she believed her divorced husband was on the plane under Spears' name possibly hypnotized. PAUL B. SILVERNALE JR.
