Fight Senate Foes Doggedly to Defeat Ike's Power Plan BLYTHEVILLE (ARK.) COURIER'I THURSDAY, JULY 82,1954 By RUSSELL BRINES WASHINGTON (AP) Senate critics of the adminis- tration's' atomic legislation fought on doggedly today though worn by an all-night session and beaten badly on a test vote which upheld President Eisenhower's order for a new private power plant in the Tennessee Valley area. Republican Leader Knowland (Calif) served notice lie would keep the began at 10 a.m. (EDT) going right on Sunday if necessary to pass the bill. Knowland spoke of the long debate as a filibuster, but opponents stump the nation to call "the people's attention to the capture of the Eisenhower administration by the private power trust." At 10 a.m. 24-hour mark of the Morse (Ind-Ore) was in the midst of a speech he had begun at 5:16 a.m.

Weber, said that he cleared $387,543 on two projects and later sold his interest in them for an additional profit of $125,000. Sen. Capehart (R-Ind), chairman of the Senate Banking Committee which is conducting the housing investigation, asked Weber: "Do you feel that you were promoted in this" by the FHA? Weber replied: "There is no wish we had never seen them. We acted in good faith. Our hands were tied." Earlier.

Maybank (D-SC), senior Democrat on the committee said FHA officials should act at once to "cut back on windfall profits and reduce the inflated rents of tenants who are paying for them." made money in these housing project deals except the tenant," he said.

This issue had thus been disposed of when Morse, who holds the Senate's long-distance speaking record of 22 hours and 26 minutes, gained the floor for what he be a "relatively short speech" of five or six hours. But Morse pounded away at the power provision, calling it a "giveaway to private monopoly." There seemed scant prospect of any final vote before late in the day at the earliest. Sens.

Eyes Cease-Fire The Assembly's immediate attention was focused on the Indochina cease-fire, which aroused mixed emotions in France and which Mendes-France himself described as a "cruel sacrifice" for his country. In return for peace, France has agreed to yield up the northern half of the key coastal state of Viet Nam, to neutralize all the rest of Indochina, and to give the Communists a chance to win the rest of Viet Nam in elections to be held in two years.

INDOCHINA (Continued from Page i) 15 months ago. Since then the Soviets have engaged in a steady relaxation of tensions which produced an end of the Korean War, great emphasis on spurring trade with the West, more courteous international contacts generally, and now the. Indochina settlement.

No Evidence American officials are convinced that there is no evidence yet that the Soviets have given up their major strategy of continually expanding their areas of control with the eventual aim of world conquest. The belief is that they are simply going about this in a different way. They may also be motivated, and apparently the British government considers this to be a fact, by desire to increase the living standard in the Communist world as a matter of internal political necessity. From the point of view of the United States, the difficulty this creates is simple. It lessens apparent danger of Russian aggression and thus reduces the incentive to prepare against aggression.

The history of development of the anti-Communist alliance provides a basis for this conclusion. The European Recovery Program, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the American military aid programs all started as reactions by Allied Western nations to the spread of Soviet power. They were designed to meet a danger symbolized by such events as Red seizures of power in Hungary and Czechoslovakia, Soviet efforts, to extend control in Germany and Red pressures on Greece and Turkey. Authorities here believe the buildup of Allied strength which has taken place since 1947, coupled with willingness to fight in Korea, led the Kremlin to engage in many of the negotiations of recent months. In other words, they attribute to greater Western strength the holding of the line in Germany and Korea, and even the fact that the Indochina terms were not worse from the Western viewpoint.

They think also that unless this strength is maintained at a high level such results cannot be expected in the future. is ail woman, Miss U.S.A. Miriam Stevenson, college senior from Winnsboro, S. won last night over 46 other entrants for the title which will pit her against 32 foreign beauties for the Miss Universe crown. Miss Stevenson's first words to newspapermen after she won were: can't believe it." Asked if she knew she would have to lose her southern accent now that she has won a movie contract with Universal-International Studio, she answered: "She nuff." Of voluptuous build, the wholesome-looking winner has perfect measurements: 36-inch bust and hips and 24-inch waist.

Her 120 pounds are well distributed over a 5-foot-6 frame. She had come here without luggage except for an evening gown which she had designed herself and a bathing suit which contest officials gave her. That was aU she needed. Her luggage, lost on an airliner that brought her here last week hasn't caught up with her yet. Rumrrs-up in the contest were in this order: Miss Virginia, Ellen Whitehead, an 18-year-old Chatham, brunette; Miss New York State, Karin Huitman, 22, of Rochester; Miss New York City, Renee Roy, 23-year-old actress, and Miss Texas, 20-year-old Betty Lee of Austin, one of the tallest girls in the contest.

She also wins a new convertible, plus a number of other prizes. Tonight she and the foreign beauties will go through preliminaries of the Miss Universe contest. Judging will last late into the night, with the finals tomorrow night. Former DAR Regent Dies MEMPHIS Mrs. Davis M.

Death Ends a Partnership COLUMBUS. Ohio (ft Death, high on a utility pole on a storm- swept country road, has ended the 30-year partnership of two veteran electric linemen. Sixty eight year old Reber Brown lost his last fight to save his buddy, Harry Finks, 69. Finks was on a pole near Reese Station early. yesterday, repairing broken lines during a when a swinging wire sent 6,900 volts of electricity through his body.

Brown called for help on the repair truck radio. Then he climbed the slippery, wind-tossed pole to his partner's dangling body and tried him artificial respiration. When help arrived Finks was taken to a hospital. He was dead.when he got there. Finks and Brown were well known as team of linemen in Central Ohio where they worked for the Ohio Midland Light and Power Co.

Finks for nearly half a century, Brown for 30 years. They both- were eligible for retirement and had "planned to quit but somehow never quite got around to "it." They had had their brushes with death before. About a -year ago, Finks got some "pretty bad burns." Brown was hurt last month when his spurs slipped and drove his shoulder against a pole. Both times, one helped the other to safety. But now that Finks is gone, Brown says he is retiring.

"That was my last day," he says. "I'm not going back any more." McMATH U.5. (Continued from Page 1) Atlantic."

In a statement on the Indochina cease-fire, the Prime Minister said "our security in Australia depends upon converting the temporary halt into a permanent one."

Addrtit. City SINGAPORE OB Malaya's two biggest newspapers viewed the Indochina armistice today with mixed emotions. Said the European-owned Straits Times of Singapore: "Half of Indochina is abandoned to Communist domination. The Indochina agreement ends a war but does not give Southeast Asia peace The stability and security of Asia depend more than ever on an effective organization against aggression." The Chinese owned Singapore Standard commented editorially: armistice in Indochina brings peace not only to the peoples of Indochina but acts as a shield against those irresponsible people who see another war as a solution to our problems."

House Rejects Postal Rote Hike WASHINGTON mem- 1 rs, after rebuffing the Eisenhower administration's bid for higher postal rates, raced today to force bef ore-adjournment action on a controversial pay raise for half a million Post Office employes. Administration leaders lost out yesterday in an all-or-nothing effort to pass a one-package bill to boost, postage charges by 233 millions a year and postal workers' pay by 5 per cent. Brought up under procedure requiring a two-thirds majority for approval, the measure mustered a 228-171 vote, 38 short of the needed majority. Man Says He's 'Phantom Killer' SHREVEPORT, La.

A tall, burn-scarred ex-soldier says he is the notorious phantom slayer who terrorized a four-state area around Texarkana, in 1946. The 36-year-old Stamps, man walked into Shreveport police headquarters late last night and said he wanted to confess, police reported, because his "conscience was bothering him." Five persons were killed by the phantom in the spring of 1946 and no trace of the slayer was ever found. Athlete Probe to Bring Stricter. Army Rule WASHINGTON (R An Army spokesman and Rep. Hess (R- Ohio) agreed today that some military regulations are going to see stiffer enforcement because of a congressional probe of reported coddling of athletes in the Army.

"Your senior senator," The senior senator, of course, is John L.

McClellan, whom McMath hopes to defeat for a third term Democratic nomination at the pre- ferential primary next Tuesday. Continuing his questions and self- answers, McMath said: "Who was your senior senator representing?" "Who but the power trust." The line of attack, delivered in the city McClellan now calls home, was a familiar one. McMath repeatedly has accused McClellan of being the willing tool of the "interests" power, oil, Eastern financiers and others. He made the same charges last night, but varied his verbal assault by calling, by name, for first time, the National of Manufacturers as a group he said McClellan went along with. He said the "powerful" NAM" wanted the Social Security program destroyed.

And that, he said, was right down McClellan's alley. McClellan, he charged, has consistently voted against expansion of Social Security. McMath said there was one exception: McClellan voted to place members of Congress under Social Security. And, he added in an earlier speech at Fordyce, "the senior senator's been going all over the state complaining how tired he is. "Since he's under Social Security we should give him a vacation come next Tuesday." McMath was introduced by William I.

Purifoy, Camden attorney, as "your next U. S. senator from Arkansas." McMath apologized to his audience on the courthouse square for having come to town the night a rally for district and county candidates wag being held near Camden. He said he didn't discover the conflict until he already was at Camden.
