Referring again to Eisenhow er's Monday speech, said: "I think It ia too bad that the President indulged himself in such a gross misstatement of the record.

Elsenhower himself and his congressional leaders "ardently opposed" the successful Democratic effort to raise the minimum wage to $1 while the President claimed that under his administration "the minimum wage was increased." 3.

BELGRADE (AV-Preaident Ilto reportedly has failed to convince hia Soviet boats at Yalta that they should not soft-pedal their de-SU-Unization Informed sources said the Soviet-Yugoslav talks in the Crimea have reached an Impasse over Tito's reported insistence that the lessening of Moscow's control continue as a condition for reviving Belgrade'! ties with Yugoslavia's satellite neighbors. These informants said Tito's campaign for independence of the satellite Communist parties from the Kremlin a direction has run into opposition from Soviet party chief Nikita Khrushchev himself. Khrushchev reportedly has cooled on the so-called liberal- policy introduced following the So viet Communist party Congress last February and Tito's visit to the Soviet union in June. The report is based on growing belief that Khrushchev's power in the Kremlin has waned and that he has been forced to swing toward the viewpoint of former Foreign Minister V.

M. Molotov and other, old-time Stalinists. Molotov, Deputy Premier Lazar Kaganovitch and other old guard members are said to feel that Khrushchev's softer policy went too far and weakened the Soviet position in Eastern Europe. Few here believe. Khrushchev has undergone any change of heart about Stalinism.

But he apparently shares his Kremlin associates' alarm as to where a policy of more independence for the satellites might lead. Cloud-Seeding Plans Launched at St. Joe ST. JOSEPH, Mo.

Donovan, pastor of the First Pres- ant general manager of the City Utilities, returned to Springfield from Tuba yesterday still without an answer to the question of whether the trend toward higher rates paid by the City Utilities to the Southwestern Power Admini stration could be halted. Castleberry attempted to obtain this Information while attending a meeting of the Southwestern Pow er Advisory Committee, which is composed of officials of municipalities and REA cooperatives served by SPA. The committee acts as a watchdog on the power agency's rates.

The meeting in Tulsa was called to consider the rate situation of SPA, This re-study was made possible by action of Sen. Robert Kerr (D-OkJa) and the committee, which persuaded Assistant Interior Secretary Fred Aandahl to ask SPA to reconsider a 1955 rate schedule which would have cost the City Utilities $1200 more monthly for the power purchased from SPA. This would have been an increase of less than 4 percent for Springfield, but could have gone as high as 40 percent for users of less power in the SPA territory, which covers Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas and Texas. The hike in rates seems to be a result of cost allocation methods for multi purpose dams and a shortening of the debt liquidation period. "We do think the rate eventually to be filed with the Federal Power small business failures under Ei senhower last year "was higher than anytime since the depression." 7.

Instead of making progress on civil rights, "the President has taken no clear position and exercised no leadership in connection with the pressing recent problems of school desegregation." tptHtti a mm 4-4- ''ill n. i rrTTrn tit Tt MARK TWAIN THOUGHT SO TOO!

He called the hear- ings both "unfair" and "illegal." Commission wilt be a higher one, Castleberry said. This Increase does hot necessarily mean higher rates to CU customers.

General Manager H. D. Miller pointed out. According to Castleberry. the re-study of the 1953 proposed increases haa been made and will be submitted to the Interior Department Monday.

The Interior Department recommends rates, but only the FPC can set them. Since there Is no official procedure for complaining about ratea set, it appears that the CU's only chance to curb any trend towards prohibitive increases would be an appearance before the department before final recommendation is made.
