IJ lyra th, 32. awaiting post-conviction hearing in Lee County Circuit Court on a 1942 burglary, is being held on a burglary charge in San Diego. authorities here learned today. Jan.

4, 1943, Ulyroth pleaded guilty to a $70 burglary the previous December of the Ideal Cafe, no longer in existence. He was sentenced to from a year to life at the state penitentiary. Joliet, by Circuit Judge George Dixon. June he was granted a conviction hearing by Circuit Judge Robert L. Bracken on Lilyroth's contention that he was not given a fair trial, was not advised of his rights, and gave Dixon police a confession under duress.

Bracken's ruling was appealed to the State supreme court by Attorney General Latham Castle, and Lilyroth was free on $500 bond pending the outcome of the appeal.

A 500 million dollar reserve fund to rush development of any breakthroughs in the weapons field, together with authority to switch two billion dollars around within the armed services "in order to take prompt advantage of new developments." 3. For foreign military and related aid, to be spent in the coming fiscal year.

This is a 119 million dollar increase over the current figure. The proposal looks like one of the hottest issues to come before the new Congress. Many legislators favor cutting foreign aid a course Eisenhower says be reckless gambling with western security. Up a Billion All told, the new budget calls for 1958-59 spending at more than a billion dollars over the current rate. The current spending program, running at $72,800,000,000 a year, is the highest in American peacetime history.

Eisenhower called for a 14 billion dollar slash in manpower, installations and older-type weap- ens, including B52 bombers and some other aircraft. And he proposed "curtailments, revisions or eliminations" of many nonmilitary programs, ranging from federal payments to farmers to expenditures for veteran services and benefits. Sixty-four per cent of the new budget is devoted to "protection" forces, military aid to allies and the like compared with 63 per cent of the current budget. No Tax Increase As the White House forecast earlier, no general tax Increases are proposed. Eisenhower suggested, in fact, some tax cuts to aid small business, while recommending higher taxes on aviation fuels to reduce the cost to the government of its activities in the air traffic field.

Likewise, the President included in his message a previously announced plan for a four-vear. billion dollar program aimed at helping states improve education standards. But he said he was not repeating at this time his proposal -W'hich failed to win approval in Congress last year of federal aid for school construction. He came up with at least one recommendation which, like his foreign aid plan, is sure to meet opposition: a five-year extension of the reciprocal trade agreements act. with more power for the president to make tariff-cutting agreements with other countries.

Congress has shown reluctance to grant this in past years. Cutback Side On the cutback side of the budget, proposals MT. MORRIS (Special) A Mt. Morris man has been named as national chairmen of the 250th anniversary call of the Church of the Brethren, according to D. W.

Bittinger, McPherson, moderator of the church. F. Willard Poweis, 48, is the appointee. He is a past president of the Mt. Morris Kiwanls Club and a member of its board of directors.

A 1932 graduate of Mt. Morris College, he has been active in the local boy scouts and is a member of the council executive committee of the Blackhawk area.

Morris Church of the Brethren for the past six years.

He has been traffic manager of the Kable Printing for the past 20 years.

Now Per Hour The present average hourly w'age in the auto industry is about $2,40. Increased benefits under the ex- i i Supplemental Unemployment Benefit plan were asked.

The Big Three, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, reserved immediate comment on the union's demands. Approved by Board The program was approved by the UA Wa International Executive Board. It will be submitted to the union special convention which meets in Detroit next week to shape to be made on the auto industry in the spring. The union sidetracked previously announred goals of a shorter work week coupled with a substantial increase In take home pay.

It said the new program "departs from the traditional UAW collective bargaining program in that it a sort of basic minimum economic demands to be applied to all companies under contract to the UAW, and a set of supplementary economic demands where the profit position I of companies would allow for greater economic benefits to the workers in those particular companies over and above the basic minimums." The UAW statement said "the program emphaaizes the need for increased purchasing power and into consideration though not as a collective bargaining demand, the need for and practicality of reduced car prices to consumers in the form of a rebate to be paid out of excess profits." ers?

WASHINGTON Lf) President Eisenhower held open the door to an East-West summit conference today with word to Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin that "I am ready to meet" on two conditions. Eisenhower's reply to Bulganin also urged Soviet agreement to a far-ranging peace program that would end nuclear weapons man- ufacture and testing, curtail use of the United veto and production of space age mis- siles.

and dedicate outer space "to the peaceful uses of man- kind." Any top-level meeting, the President told the Premier, must be preceded by an airing of issues in negotiations among diplomats and foreign ministers. Furthermore, he said, these negotiations must show' "good hope of advancing the cause of peace and justice in the world" by agreements at the summit. He thus rejected ganin call last week for a meeting in three months. Sylvester Eye, pastor, officiating. Burial will be in the Oakwood Cemetery.

He said "important revisions" are needed in price support, conservation and rural credit programs, and added he would give details in a special message later. His budget message did, however, propose ending the acreage reserve program at the end of the 1958 crop year. 2. A 22 million dollar drop in expenditures. This would bring the cost next year to about five billion dollars.

Eisenhower said Hie cut would be possible because of "a decline in the readjustment needs of veterans of the Korean War and from economies in operations." 3. Higher interest rates on government insured or guaranteed mortgages and similar loans. The President urged that private financing be substituted for government loans and mortgage purchases wherever possible. Strong Appeal In general, Eisenhower made a strong appeal for state and private bodies to take over whatever federal programs they can in the interest of sound federal financing and in the light of high defense spending. He proposed, for instance.

that the states take full financial responsibility for a vocational education program which has been paid for in part by federal grants. Eisenhower struck a tighten- your-belt note from the start of his budget message, saying that while science has opened new' vistas to mankind in recent months this "is also a time of growing I danger." "The progress of the Soviets in I long-range missiles and other of- tensive weapons," he said, "together with their continuing rejection of a workable disarmament, compels us to increase certain of our defense activities which we have only recently expanded many fold. "The total expenditures for missile research, development and procurement, for guided missile ships, and for missile-related construction will be $4,300,000,000 in (fiscal i 1958 and $5,300,000,000 in 1959, compared with three billion spent in 1957, $1,700,000,000 in 1956, and $1,200,000,000 in 1955."
