Arthur F. Haddock SOUTH BERWICK Arthur F. Haddock, 79, of Old Field Section, a former resident of Portsmouth, died at Wentworth- Douglass Hospital in Dover yesterday. Born in Portsmouth, Sept. 28, 1889, he was the son of Fred and Ida Ayes Haddock and for more than 33 years was employed at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard as a woodworker.

He retired in 1949. From 1917 to 1930, he was a member of the Kearsarge Company 3 of the Portsmouth Fire Department and later was an honorary member. He was a former member of Osgood Lodge, IOOF, of Portsmouth, later transferring his membership to the South Berwick Lodge. He was also a charter member of the Golden Age Club in Ports- 1 mouth and attended the Unitarian Church of Dover. He was survived by his wife, Vena Grant Haddock.

'From Page One IN MAINE ice was the character of the man--a character which so successfully reached all of Ameria most of the world." Burton M. Cross, who was governor of Maine from 195355, said Eisenhower was "a great American, a dedicated in. dividual who put the good of his country ahead of politics at all The country will feel his loss greatly." Ex-Sen. Frederick G. Payne, said he thinks Eisenhower will "go down in history as one of the great presidents of this nation" He also called the general "a great advocate of peace on earth." Payne was elected to the Senate in 1952, the same year 'Eisenhower won the presidency, and headed.

Ike's Maine campaign staff until he opened his own campaign. federal Aid Cut School Officials Protest in Capital About 200 school superintendents from 38 states converged on Washington, D.C., this week to protest threatened cuts in school impact and building aid. Among them were Supts. Herbert R. Hagstrom from Portsmouth, Paul O'Neil of Supervisory Union 21, Hampton, and Francis Wilson of Supervisory Union 14, Epping.

Hagstrom said today he spoke to all four members of the New a i congressional delegation pointing' out the serious effect of a $350,000 cut in city school funds if federal impacted aid is deleted. The loss in aid would be for local students whose parents work at, but do not live on, federal installations in this area. The other two superintendents from this area also conferred with the delegation, U.S. Sens. Tom Mclntyre and i Cotton and Reps.

Louis Wyman and James Cleveland. Hagstrom said today the crisis has arisen because a series of legislative bills on education passed by the administration is being rewritten in one package that could, reportedly, suffer a $348 million funding loss. The bill was published only yesterday and so far, many congressmen haven't had a chance to read it. The superintendents were addressed by Rep. Carl Perkins, chairman of the House Education Committee, who said a majority of his committee favors full funding.

However, Perkins told the administrators frankly that strong resistance is expected to its recommendations to the tune of nearly $350 million. Hagstrom said the local loss would be $50 per pupil in the entire school system. The new bill, Public Law 514, is carrying a recommendation to be operative for five years, instead of the usual two. It would affect 4,000 school districts across the nation. Hagstrom said the superintendents may return to Washington April 15 for the debate and vote on the measure.

Eisenhower's life was full of secrets, confidences and security matters.

But one of the best kept secrets of all was that his burial place was to be Abilene--a place he always referred to as liis home town. The decision was made by Eisenhower himself several years As time went on word obviously leaked out among the press and in semiofficial circles, but his wishes for privacy were honored. It was treated as "top secret" by the Army, which was in full charge of arrangements. One of Ike's longtime wishes was to see a nondenominational chapel built on the Eisenhower Center grounds here, near his boyhood home, the Eisenhower Museum and the Eisenhower Presidential Library.

Curiosity was aroused in the summer of 1966 when the body of his first-born son, Doud, who died at the age of 3, was flown from Denver to Abilene for reburial at the chapel.

Newsmen were asked to keep a confidence, and did-- despite the fact Ike virtually broke the news himself in his book, "At Ease." He wrote: "My wife and I have arranged that when it comes our time to be laid away in our final resting place, we shall have him (Doud) with us."

His wife, Mamie Doud Eisenhower, and members of the immediate family were nearby when Eisenhower died in his third-floor presidential suite. President Nixon canceled all appointments for the next five days and went immediately from the White House to the hospital with his wife and eldest daughter, Tricia. The only living former presidents--Democrats Harry s. Truman and Lyndon B.

Johnson- paid their tributes. In Independence, the 84- year-old Truman, whom Eisenhower succeeded in 1952 after a bitter political campaign against Democrat Adlai Stevenson, said he and Eisenhower "became political opponents, but before that we were comrades in arms, and cannot forget his services to his country and to western civilization He must be long and gratefully remembered." From the LBJ Ranch in Texas came tribute from the man who worked with the Republican president as leader of the Democratic majority in the Senate --and eventually became president himself: "A giant of our age is I treasured him always as my close and lasting friend," Johnson said. "His death leaves an 'empty place in my heart as it will in the hearts of men and women everywhere. America will be a lonely land without him but America will always be a better nation--stronger, safer, more conscious of its heritage, more certain of its destiny--because Ike was with us when America needed him." Field Marshal Lord Montgomery, British ground commander in Europe during World War II and Eisenhower's deputy in command of the allied forces, said, "I am very distressed. I want to be alone now."
