ei 1 Amusements 23 Around About Marion 3 rn Single WW Ohioan Stays Silent Until Last Minute Uncertainty Marks Senate Maneuvering As Congress Meets BULLETIN WASHINGTON UP) Democrats today took control of the new 85th Congress but only after a brief Senate scare and started a session already confronted with a momentous foreign affairs issue. President Eisenhower will go before a joint session Friday or Saturday to present this grave question a request for advance approval to use U.S. troops against any Communist aggression in the Middle East. The Democratic scare in the Senate arose from the silence of Ohio's Frank J. Lausche, right up to the climactic moment, as to whether or not he would vote with the Demo-crats to organize.

He did, and the Democrats prevailed by a 49-46 vote. WASHINGTON UPl-Sen. Knnw. land (R-Calif) said Republicans will try to take over control of tne benate today "if we have 43 votes." Frank J. Lausche, former governor of Ohio elected as a Democrat, holds the deciding vote, Knowland said, adding that Republicans did not know how Lausche would vote.

The November election gave Democrats a 49-47 margin over Republicans, but Lausche had said during the campaign he might vote with Republicans to organize the Senate under certain circum stances. Not at Conference He did not attend the initial conference of Democrats today and still would not say how he would vote. He told newsmen he was not go- ing to today's Democratic confer ence but said that "I will be at their conferences as time goes' on. Asked how he would vote on Senate organization, he replied that "I will declare myself this morn ing." In response to Questions aboutr his absence from the Democratic conierence, Lausche said he arrived here, late Wednesday night and "I rested a bit this morning." Could Have All Present Republicans who attended their closed door conference today said tney could have all their forces present and voting if necessary when the Senate meets at noon. Previous indications were that the GOP might have one missing vote that of Jacob K.

ft Eisenhower Will Speak To Congress Middle East Military Plans Will Be Aired Before Joint Session WASHINGTON GPWHouse Speaker Rayburn said today President Eisenhower will address a joint session of Congress either Friday or Saturday with his plea for standby authority to use U.S. military force in the Middle East in the event of Soviet aggression. The President will deliver his message Friday if the Senate is organized and ready to meet with the House, Rayburn told newsmen. Otherwise, the two branches will hold a session Saturday to receive the President. Rayburn said it is doubtful that the President will appear in per son next Thursday to deliver his State of the Union message.

Challenges Proposal Meanwhile, Rep. Burdick (R- ND) challenged the constitutional ity of the President's Middle East proposal. He contended Congress could not delegate the war mak ing power vested in it by the Constitution. In a statement introduced into the record at the opening House session, Burdick said that with the requested authority Eisenhower could start war without coming to Congress. "We had better stay with the Constitution," Burdick said.

"It wouldn't take the President three hours to get a declaration of war any time the facts warranted it." Eisenhower gave the Middle East matter high priority as Con gress got under way in the new session. His secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, told congressional leaders Wednesday the situation in that area "is highly dangerous" and the Soviet Union may well move to expand its own influence" there. Whether Eisenhower's address to a joint session will come Fri day, or early next week, depends on how quickly Senate and House can get organized and extend him a formal invitation. Resolution's Main Points The resolution Eisenhower seeks as outlined in tentative form by Dulles, would:" 1. Authorize the President to "undertake programs of military and economic cooperation with free nations in the general area of the Middle East in order, to strengthen and defend the inde pendence of those nations." 2.

Authorize the spending of 400 million dollars in economic aid to the Middle East over a period of two years beginning next July 1.. Those terms of the resolution, still in tentative form, were described in a statement released by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with Dulles' approval after Dulles met with its mem bers and Senate leaders for more than two hours in a closed-door night session. 'Positive Action "The secretary viewed the res olution, as a deterrent to aggres' sion and as a positive action on behalf of peace," the statement said. "Without the resolution, he thought the danger of war would be increased." Earlier, Dulles spent more than, an hour with a similar group from the House. Afterward, Rep.

Gordon (D-Ill), chairman-designate of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said, "We've got to do all we can to go along with the "administration's policy on Hearings will be started next week, he said. Some senators voiced outright opposition and most of those attending the meeting with Dulles jsaid they would ask further ex- pianauuus ueiuie uiey cuinmn themselves. But they appeared more concerned with getting the administration to "make out a case" for the proposal than with directly opposing it. Sen. Dirksen (R-Ill) predicted Eisenhower "will make a case" and gain approval.

Record City Spending Is Given Okay Appropriations Over $2 Million Approved Tentatively by Group Appropriations for operation of various city offices and depart ments this year were tentatively approved by the finance commit tee of City Council at a meeting with the city administration Wednesday night in City Hall. As approved bv the committee the appropriations will call for ex penditures of a total of a new record high. The-last previous high was $1,951,353, appropriated last January for city operations. Before Council Jan. 14 The appropriations tentatively approved last night call for spending: $695,245 from the general fund, $211,900 from the street repair and maintenance fund, from the garbage fund, from the sewer revenue fund, $14,030 from the airport fund, from the veterans housing fund and $1,052,000 from the General! Hospital fund.

I The annual appropriations ordinance will be presented to council tor consideration at its Jan. 14 meeting. As presently established, the appropriations do not make provisions for wage boosts for city employes. But R. G.

Haldeman, chairman of the finance committee, reaffirmed previous statements that about $20,000 will be available for wage boosts for non-elected city employes except the airport manager, veterans housing manager, parking meter collectors and members of the city engineering department. Wants Hike for Director Mayor Gale D. Ireland asked if any decision had been reached on a requested pay hike for the safety service director. Ralph Williams, Fourth Ward, a committee member, suggested that this be determined at a subsequent meeting. Discussion at the meeting indicated the mayor felt the director's salary should be increased to $6,500 a year from its present $5,200.

Decision on this as well as details of how the $20,000 available in current operating funds shall be divided for pay raises to various city employes is to be discussed (Turn to SPENDING, Page 10) Emergency Phones Hit New Acts of Reported at PORTSMOUTH, Ohio UP) A series of cable-cutting incidents crippled police and state highway patrol communications and left two Portsmouth hospitals without telephone service Wednesday night, the Ohio Consolidated Telephone Co. said.
