Should Assume Entire Responsibility For Middle East Problems. President Elsenhower tells the United Nations of proposals for do-it-yourself economic aid to the Middle Cast. (NEA Telephoto) By TOM HOOK UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)! Britain throws her support to- i day behind President Eisenhow-j cr's six-point program tor Middle; East peace and stability. Manyi other members are withholding! judgment.

British Foreign Secretary Scl-j wyn Lloyd was expected to emphasize at the U.N. Assembly's emergency session that the entire 81-nation U.N. should assume responsibility for easing Middle East problems. Of Eisenhower's proposals, which includes a U.N. police force to keep the peace in the Arab world, the economic aid program won widest initial support.

Arab diplomats indicated privately they were impressed with it, although only Jordan already heavily; dependent on U.S. aid gave it open endorsement. Jordanian Delegate Moncm Ri- fai told the Assembly Eisenhow-; er's proposals "fill our hearts with; hope and satisfaction." Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, who followed Eisenhower to the Assembly rostrum, said the economic aid program required careful consideration. He insisted, however, that first U.S. troops must get out of Lebanon and British forces must leave Jordan.

Gromyko on Tuesday submitted a resolution asking the withdrawals with U.N. observers to check up on them. The fourth and last! speaker at Wednesday's session, Foreign Minister Mahmoud Fawzi of the United Arab Republic, endorsed the Soviet resolution, saying it was moderate and deserved consideration. He made no comment on Eisenhower's propos- fllg, Gromyko Mild Seawolf Seeks Endurance Runaways Nabbed In UR The subdued tone of Gromyko'si ec0 rd; Left U.S. Port On bona; Quizzzed In Strang- gpeech, like that of the Soviet HAGERTY SAYS HE WAS ONLY CURIOUS, BUT IKE REPORTED FURIOUS AT 'SURRENDER' STUDY FIRST PICTURES OF MARINE PULL OUT ELVIS BREAKS DOWN AS MOM DIES SUDDEKLY Unexpected Heart Attack Causes Death; Presley Home On Leave.

(UPi Wlrephoto) THIRD A-SUB ON LONG CRUISE QUESTION TWO 1 ALABAMA BOYS MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) The mother of famed rock 'n' roll singer Elvis Presley died in a hospital today of an unexpected heart attack.

She was 42. Presley, home on emergency leave from the Army, was asleep at his $100,000 mansion when she died. His father, Vernon Presley, 43, was dozing in her hospital room on a. cot. Vernon Presley said he was i aroused at 3 a.m.

by his wife, I Gladys, "suffering for breath." iHo called her physician, but she was dead by the time he arrived. Elvis, called from home, sank to his knees beside his mother's bed and wept. His father also broke down. Mrs. Presley was admitted to the hospital last Saturday for treatment of jaundice and a liver ailment, hepatitis.

She was not considered in critical condition. Her soldier son, drafted a few months ago, was granted emergency leave from Ft. Hood, at the request of Mrs. Presley's i physician. i Elvis was devoted to his mother.

Early in his career, when the golden flood began, he insisted on his parents living in luxury and comfort. "I like to do what I can for my folks," he said. "We didn't have nothin' before, nothin' but a hard way to go." Mrs. Presley was in good spirits before her death. She felt well and talked most of Wednesday with her husband and son.

WASHINGTON (AP) The White House said today President Eisenhower was mostly rather than he heard the Pentagon was studying circumstances that might lead the: United States to surrender in atomic war. Press secretary James C. Hagerty told newsmen that Eisenhower ordered an immediate investigation of the report. But Hagerty added: "I would say the President's reaction was more one of curiosity than anger." Hagerty characterized the reaction that way when told that a senator, who asked not to be identified, had said "I've never seen the President so mad." That is how a senator describes President Eisenhower's reaction on learning of reports that defense officials are studying the possibility of a U. S.

surrender in a nuclear war. The senator refused use of his name, saying Eisenhower and Defense Department officials had urged secrecy on the matter. In relating the story Wednesday night, the senator said Secretary of Defense McElroy and other Pentagon leaders had assured the President "there is no thought or plan for surrender and the studies were only theoretical." The directive for the surrender study, the senator said, was made by John B. Macauley, deputy assistant defense secretary for research and engineering. It was described as part of an over-all study of all possibilities of a war between the United States and the Soviet Union, including conditions under which either side might be forced to surrender.

BY' TUB ASSOCIATED PRESS SHANNON, Ireland (AP) A giant Dutch KLM airliner with 99 people aboard plunged into the stormy Atlantic 130 miles off the west coast ol Ireland today. A communique issued by KLM, the government-backed airlines, said there was little hope ol survivors.

However, a French trawler reported sighting survivors on life rafts. Three British air force planes circling the crash scene reported signs of lite among the wreckage. These reports were still not completely clear. A list given out by tho line indicated about 50 Americans were among the passengers. Planes and ships sped to the scene in the hope that there may be survivors.

The four-engine Super Constellation vanished at dawn, 35 minutes after leaving Shannon Airport for Ncw York. It had left Amsterdam Wednesday night. The big airliner was in radio contact with the shore at 3:40 a.m.' That was the last heard of her. The crash shaped up as possibly the worst single airplane disaster in the History of commercial aviation. There were 91 passengers 5 of them children, including 2 babies and a crew of 8 aboard.

After hours of fruitless search across the wind-whipped Atlantic a British Royal Air Force rescue plane first spotted wreckage after getting a radar trace from a British Overseas Airways plane. Tossing in the water were bodies, bits of aircraft and half-inflated life rafts, the RAF reported. Apparently the big plane flew into a terrific squall as she climbed away from Shannon. An American Trans World Airlines pilot, Capt. Everett Wolf, said in London Airport after flying from New York: "We hit a very bad squall and if that KLM plane had engine trouble she might really have been in a bad way.

"She would have been down in the lower strata where it was really rough."
