Jr. College by Pakistanis Defeated U.S. Cool fro Major Expansion of Loses Asia Programs Defense Chief McElroy Grinningest Man'in Washington He's the relatively new secretary of defense, Neil McElroy. The one, you'd think, who would have the least to grin about. It's understandable when a brand-new official goes around grinning for a couple of days.

He hasn't found out what he's in for. But the time an official is "relatively" new on the job he should have seen enough to wipe that grin right off his face. Not McElroy. He goes right on grinning, although for several months now as defense boss he has had to carry around the heaviest set of woes and worries a man can be saddled with in Washington. Other day, after an unmerciful grilling before a Senate committee somebody asked him if he'd had a rough time.

Flashing his understanding grin he said, "Not at all. it was fun." Assistant White House Press Secretary Ann Wheaton reveals that McElroy's grins are infectious, too, saying: "Other morning in the President's office I saw them both grinning like young boys." Photos above capture the newly famous McElroy grin.

Mitchell said it was too easy', to recommend "broad and far- reaching money spending" that would not provide jobs needed right now. Must Fit Need "The program must fit the need, and must be designed with the need clearly in mind," he said. He said that in event the business downturn proves more stubborn than anticipated, an administration recommendation for a tax cut will be made.

He safd it would be "a major and substantial cut in personal and business taxes." "This action 1 can assure you," Mitchell said, "is being fully con- Joblcss See Page 8 Msgr.

ness to turn to tax reduction appeared conditioned on failure of the nation's economy to respond shortly to less dramatic stimulants. Some Opposition The possibility of a tax cut came up at Eisenhower's regular weekly meeting with congressional GOP leaders. Reporting on the discussion while the session still was going on, Sens. Martin of Pennsylvania and Francis Case of South Dakota made it clear the idea was meeting with some opposition. Martin, ranking Republican on were 1.116 votes against the proposal to authorize the school board'to proceed with plans to establish the junior college.

That represented 52 per cent of the total vote counted. There were 1,026 votes in favor of the proposition for 48 per cent of the total or 12 per cent shy of the necessary 60 per cent to carry the proposal. School board members indicated Tuesday they had not decided, in view of the close vote, whether to submit the proposition to voters again. The earliest date (or another vote on the junior college issue would be the next annual school election in March, 1959. Election judges explained the reasons for the large number of spoiled ballots by pointing out that some had check marks instead of prescribed; some "X's" were marked beyond the borders of the appropriate box; some ballots had erasures or blots of ink; and one ballot was voted on wrong side.

60 Per Cent Noes About 60 per cent of the spoiled were "No" votes, the judges estimated. It was believed, officials said, that the majority of the spoiled ballots were cast by elderly people, some of whom evidently were not familiar with the method of voting. "We wish to thank all who worked so hard on the Community College committee, and we want them to know their efforts were very much appreciated," Supt. W. Paul Forney said Tuesday.
