This Was Coldest Inaugural Day In Past Thirty Years TOPEKA Iff Topeka faced faced its coldest inaugural day in vi as the mercury dropped ind the weather bureau predicted it would climb bo higher than 15 during the day. Adding to the icy outlook was a chilly breeze blowing in from the northeast. However, there was no prospect ol rain or wow, the weatherman said. The day will be partly cloudy though, with the sun only occasion-lily peep11 through. Back in 1927, inaugural day erowds faced weather much like today's, the maximum was 15 and the minimum was iero.

But the coldest inauguration record wai in 1905 with a high of 11 and a low of 8 below. The chill rode into Kansas Sunday with a surge ol cold air which tumbled last night's readings to 4 at Hill City, 12 at Wichita and Pittsburg. Highs ranged from 15 in the north central section into the 10s over most of the rest of the state. In the extreme west, temperatures were warmer with a high of 35 at Goodland. The cold front will continue into Tuesday with high readings of 15 ki the east to 25-35 in the extreme west.

'Dead' Puppy Returns To His Master JASPER, Ga. Iff A collie named Butch literally crawled out of the grave to return to the side of his 3-year-old master. A neighbor's car hit Butch a couple of weeks ago. The neigh bor shot the puppy to end his misery and then buried him in a shallow grave about five miles away. Twelve days later Andrew Wallace, 3, and his father Sherman Wallace heard a scratching at the door and there was Butch, more dead than alive.

The puppy was rushed to an animal hospital at Gainesville about 40 miles northwest of this north Georgia town. Dr. Carl A. Blunt said Butch jihad pneumonia, a fractured pelvis, right foreleg and right hind-leg and a 22-caliber bullet wound through the cheekbone below the left eye. Butch is over the pneumonia now and should be able to walk without a limp in about six months, the doctor said.

There he was told that continued dry weather has almost killed off early pasturing and that the 37 heard of hereford cattle have been on eed since Au gusti three months earlier than usual.

He and tw0 cabinet members, Secretary of Agriculture Benson and Secretary of Interior Seaton, spent 90 minutes in Woodward County, slightly longer than had been planned Besides the visit at the farm of Peoples, the President conferred with Gov. Raymond Gary, Dr. a joint session of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees. "Whea the stakes are so great," he continued, "I do not believe the Congress of the United States should play, or wants to play, merely the role of an observer. It possesses assets, perhaps decisive assets, to throw into the struggle." Dulles was before the senators, at an open hearing, to seek sup port for the administration's re quest for standby authority for President Eisenhower to use troops to counter any Soviet ag-gression in the Middle East.

Eisenhower also seeks authority for economic and military support for free nations in that area. Last week, in testimony to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Dulles said the Middle East "is very likely to be lost" unless Con gress gives the administration swiftly the special powers it has asked.

Widespread predictions that fnkinnf nnninl manl toss a sop t0 British and foreign critics of former Prime Minister Eden's Suez military adventure failed to materialize. The 18-man Cabinet announced today was made up largely of familiar faces. The new prime minister even retained John Selwyn Lloyd, an architect of the Suez invasion, as foreign secretary. It had been generally believed Eloyd was marked for dismissal because of the Suez venture's adverse diplomatic consequences. Richard Austen Butler, Mac-millan's chief rival for the prime ministership, was reappointed In Legislature Oliver S.

Willham, president of Oklahoma College and local and state farm group leaders. San Angelo was the actual start of the President's two-day, six state tour of parched and windblown regions. "Good luck" he called to rancher Joe R. Lemley after chatting with him briefly about his cattle feed problems. Posted at the highway on Lem-ley's ranch was a sign saying: "Ike.

wt veterans like your leadership in peacetime too." In advance of his San Angelo tour, Eisenhower got a call from Tfias bankers and businessmen for more liberal federal loans to drought-plagued farmers and ranchers. A delegation put the proposed program before him at a breakfast conference. Eisenhower traveled through the Texas drought country- with the temperature in the mid-30s a sharp drop from 85-degree weather in San Angelo yesterday. The sky was clear today without a trace of rain clouds which the area so desperately would like to see again. Bundled in a warm tan topcoat with a brown wool muffler, the President's first stop was at the cotton-grain farm and cattle ranch of 39-year-old Wilbert R.

Block, who leases. 385 acres now bleak and brown with drought and wind erosion. To Block and a group of his neighbors Eisenhower remarked on leaving the place: "I am delighted to see you with your chins up. Everybody will do his best." Block's acres are as blighted as the next fellow's in the San Angelo area, but he showed no sign of discouragement in chatting with the President. Block and his wife, 30-year-old Doris Helen, were out in the yard in their Sunday best when the President arrived; accompanied by Secretary of Agriculture Benson and Secretary of the Interior Seaton.

And the Block's three children Diana, 7, Michael 8 and Jean 4 were neat and trim- Smiling broadly, the President shook hands with all members of the family a good many of the neighbors. Then he went off to take a look at some of Block's rather scrawny cattle. The President started his motor tour at 8:08 a. m. (CST).

Before starting on his tour, the President attended a closed-door breakfast with farmers, ranchers, businessmen, bankers and local and- state officials. He was briefed on effects of the seven years of drought in Texas. He also heard the Texans recommend continuance of the present drought emergency feed and hay programs and a request that the 50 per cent cut in hay freight charges be continued. The Tuesday schedule calls for stops at Pueblo, Garden City, and Wichita, Kas. At Wichita, before heading back to will meet late in the afternoon with representatives from all the Great Plains' states plagued by lack of rain and devastating wind eva sion.

At that conference the President plans to speak briefly, probably to outline his views regarding pos sible new relief measures, after getting the reeommencktioM i reached another crossroad," Dock- ing said. He addfd that Kansas has (tie possibility of becoming one of the great industrial states because of its geographical location, workers with initiative and intelligence, natural resources, a good transportation system and ampls water. -ine maximum use oi tnis wa-i ter supply is one of our chief prob- lems," Docking emphasized. "The! "The maximum use of this wa- future of Kansas lies in our stopping the flow of water within our boundaries and making maximum use of it before we allow it to! continue on its way." He stressed the importance of water control and conservation "because all other phases of state government depend on its solution. Without the proper use of water we cannot continue to progress as a state." I One of the other big problems in government, he said, is education.

Outlining some of the financial support Kansas provides for education, Docking said the state has been "forward-looking" in this respect and added: "We have left to the educators the problem of balancing the school system between the humanities and technical training in order that they may train not only skilled, but public spirited citizens. "We have left the management of the system in their hands and it is their duty and responsibility to see that our school system is managed efficiently and in the best interests of the students." Docking said the state's health programs are indicative of the "great hearts of Kansans" and touching only briefly on national affairs declared "we are not an isolated people. We must cooper ate in our programs with the states around us and with the United States government." In concluding, Docking said "I am deeply grateful that all of you of different political philosophieshave had sufficient faith in me to place me in this office of high responsibility. I am aware of my obligations to you. I accept them with deep humility." ine third elective official new to the position he assumed today was Supreme Court Justice Alfred Schroeder, Newton.

Another forthright supporter of the Suez Campaign, Peter Thor- neycroft, was promoted from president of the Board of Trade to the key post of chancellor of the exchequer, Macmillan's old job. Macmillan dropped five Eden's Cabinet ministers. One wag Defense Minister Anthony Head, whose ministry carried out the Suez invasion.

The reappointment of Lloyd stirred up the greatest controversy. The Liberal News-Chronicle said it" would be "read as militant unrepentance over Suez." voters would decide whether he should bu retained.

Four court proposals were submitted in the Senate and one in the House.
