The stock was left in trust for James Vernor, and Vernor, minor children, James Vernor III and Grayce Shannon Vernor. VEBXOR'S widow, Mrs.

Michael Vett ralno lias Keen rianting Trees METRO FINAL Ike's Plan Approved 382 to 0 Attempts to Restore Slashes Are Beaten WASHINGTON UP The House handed i dent Eisenhower a major victory Thursday by approving intact his planned military cutbacks and voting a' defense budget for the next fiscal year. The big, money bill was sent the Senate by a roll call vote of 382 to 0. The approval came after Chairman Cannon (D Mo.) of the House Appropriations Committee said any new war would be decided so fast the Army and Navy would not even get into it. Democrats split sharply on the issue. Rep.

Flood Pa.) sought in vain to restore proposed cuts in Army and Navy strength, and to rebuild the Marine Corps to a previously planned goal. His amendments were shouted down so decisively, however, that he did not even ask for a nose-count. Democrats backing the drive to restore the military cuts maintained the r-resident was risking security in orcer to balance the budget. Mr. Eisenhower's supporters insisted atomic and other "fantastic" new weapons have decreased the need for uniformed men.

THE BILL is tailored to the atomic age. It provides for a stronger air arm to launch massive atomic retaliation in event of major Communist aggression, and a greater outlay for continental defense against possible enemy atomic attack. It calls for 2.852.000 men under arms by July 1. 1956, compared with 3,302,000 on the same date last year and 2,961,000 expected this July 1. It carries funds for a fifth super-aircraft carrier capable of speeding Navy A-bombers against a potential enemy from nearby waters.

i The bill was $744,609,000 short of Mr. Eisenhower's original request. But the cuts were mostly of the "paper" variety and did not affect the Administration's manpower or other defense goals.

Austrian Foreign Minister Leopold Figl, mindful of an impending top-level East-West meeting, called it "a turning point in world history." United States Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, British Foreign Secretary Harold Macmillan, French Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay and Russian Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov will sign the treaty Sunday which makes Austria a neutral in the cold war.

Ratification will mean independence for the first time in 17 years for this nation of seven million with an area roughlv equivalent to Maine. Ninety days after ratification, 70,000 occupation troops of the four powers will be withdrawn. Ratification is expected to completed by Dec. 31. be AUSTRIAN'S were jubilant.

Vienna's coffee houses rang with joy. Franz Jonas, mayor of Vienna, asked every orchestra in the city to play the national anthem at 10 a.m. Sunday, the hour set for. the treaty signing. For a while Thursday it looked as though a deadlock over a clause dealing with economic concessions of Russia to Austria might block or delay the treaty.

But a communique from the Big Four ambassadors after a meeting of 100 minutes declared "full unanimity has been reached on all articles of the draft treaty." The ambassadors of the Western powers bumped into the deadlock three days ago when the Russians balked against revising an article to include recent concessions to the Aus-trians made in talks in Moscow last month. These involved return of the great Zisterdorf oil fields and the Danube Shipping Co. to Austria. The ambassadors finally decided to make the concessions Turn to Tage Column 4 'December' Love PASCOAG.

Chairman Spence of the House Banking Committee, said standby controls might be the best solution.

Rep. Priest chairman of the Commerce Committee, introduced a bill giving the Administration discreti onary powers over distribution and use of the vaccine. Many members of Congress want to clamp on immediate controls to make sure the limited supply will go to children who need it most and at a fair price. The Administration is reluctant to impose Controls. Rep.

Wolcott a senior Republican member of the committee who usually opposes Federal said standby controls seemed to be a "happy compromise." THE UNITED STATES Public Health Service is urging states to suspend inoculation programs until Federal officials have rechecked safeguards used by drug firms producing the vaccine. There was hope that fresh supplies of vaccine might be released for use by the weekend. More than five million school children have been inoculated.

Surplus In Area Wiped Out Delivered Quart To Cost 224 Cents BY GEOFFREY HOWES Free Press Staff Writer Detroiters and their neighbors have drunk themselves right into a milk price increase. Leading dairy spokesmen said Thursday prices will rise next week. The boost is almost certain to be li cents a quart for home-delivered regular and a half to 1'2 cents for homogenized, they said. Consumption has risen and there is no longer a milk surplus in the Detroit area, George Irvine, Federal milk market administrator, said. So under the supply-demand formula of the Federal milk marketing order the raw milk price to farmers will increase to "normal" for the first time since October.

THE PREDICTED retail increase would make both regu lar and homogenized milk cents a quart, delivered. The retail milk market in Detroit has been in a state of flux since February. One dealer called it a "vicious price war." Harry Brickley, president of Brickley Dairy Farms, said he knows of no company not operating at a loss. Prices were cut in February and March in the face of rising raw milk costs, dealers noted. Home delivered regular dropped from 22 cents to 21.

The Detroit Creamery Co. cut homogenized to the same price as regular. Quantity purchase rebate schedules were altered. Store milk prices have been cut in "weekend specials." THE PRICE to farmers went up approximately 15 cents a hundredweight (46 quarts) in March. There'll be another 15-cent raise In the May checks, Irvine said.

An official of The Borden Co. Michigan Milk Division "It looks like we'll have to begin to pass this on. There's been an accumulation of ris ing costs, including labor." John Stewart, president of Twin Pines Farm Dairy, agreed rurrent prices "ean't last" and a half to l'i-cent raise is proba'clc next week. More dairymen Indicated Thursday they would meet competition by making homogenized the same price as regular. So an increase from 21 to 22 Vi rents (up l1,) for regular would be only 22 to 22 (up a half) for homogenized.

More people drink homoge-rized than regular milk, so a minority will feel the full impact of the increases. mVIN'E SAID April fluid milk ales in the Detroit market (which extends to Ann Arbor and Port Huren) were a record 101,779,340 pounds. This was up nearly 8 per cent fver April. 1954, and, more important, about three times more thanthe production increase, he paid. Surprisingly, the record consumption came in what usually is an off-peak month, Irvine aid.

Michael wasn't greatly interested in planting trees to be shaped into boards and shingles. He wanted to set out trees people would like to look at and children would enjoy running under.

His chance came in 1905, when he was 20 years old. He was only a few days off the boat from his native Italy when he went to work as a gardener at what later became Cranbrook, in Bloomfield Hills. Crahbrook was a farm then. Almost 300 acres of rolling land seeded to oats and corn and pasture. It was bought in 1904 by the late George G.

Booth, Detroit newspaper publisher. There were a few oaks on the place. Some apple trees. A few gnarled wild cherries. THE CRANBROOK Institutions which were to come would need shade and birds and serenity.

Michael was just the man for the job. It was a hurry-up age, even then, and not many were content to do work which would take many slow cycles of sun and rain and frost to make complete. Michael dug willows in along the banks of the Rouge River, which goes through the place- They grew, and now their shadows are cool in the lagoons. Maples vere always a favorite of Michael's.
