(Continued From Page One) Loses calls, he voted with the administration only 30 per cent of the time on foreign policy issues. One of his most important votes was against the administration's foreign aid bill. Wiley voted for the bill. While a member of the House Appropriations subcommittee Davis was quoted as saying that 1 too much money was being appropriated for foreign aid without enough stringent controls over its ultimate expenditure. And without advocating anything for the future, he said he felt aid to foreign countries should be cut off "until we can bring this thing to a level that is controllable and take a look at what is already in the pipelines." Wiley is on record for increased foreign aid with few strings attached as advocated by President Eisenhower.

Animosity toward Wiley flared in the state Republican party for his stand on the Bricker amendment, his abstention in voting on the Senate's condemnation of Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) and his apparent willingness to vote with the Democrats if a measure was acceptable to the White House but not to the conservative core Republicans. Both Kefauver (Continued from Page One) be that Kefauver still is behind, but not far. Imponderables throw a measure of uncertainty over the campaign. Nobody knows, for example, the extent to which Eisenhower Democrats will vote for Stevenson or Kefauver.

Some of them have been talking of backing the senator in an effort to torpedo Stevenson in the primaries. They can't vote for President Eisenhower Tuesday, since they are registered Democrats and crossover voting is barred. So are write-in votes. There is no way of measuring the effectiveness of last minute campaign maneuvers in which sharp clashes on a personal level replaced an earlier spirit of professed good will. Kefauver, in particular, has cut old age pension increase while governor of Illinoi, at what he called the "ganging up on him" when six of the seven Florida congressmen endorsed Stevenson, at the facts that Stevenon was a 1952 loser to Eisenhower.

Stevenson has barked back from time to time, but in more subdued tones. The two Democrats are competing for Florida's 28 votes at the Democratic National Convention, plus the advantage of carrying a Florida prestige victory into the nation's final big primary in California June 5. 10 Tornadoes Hit (Continued From Page One) crops of corn and soybeans suffered most as flood waters washed away top soil. No damage estimate was made of the several hundred acres of inundated farm land. No injuries or fatalities were reported.

Tornado activity in western Kansas 5 occurred in two widely separate spots as seven of the funnels were observed. Those that reached the ground fell harmlessly on barren soil. Three twisters appeared near Syracuse, Kendall and Lakin near the Colorado line. Only in the Southwest, from New Mexico to the California coast, was there no rain nor any immediate likelihood of it. But to the north the shower area extended across the mountain states.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms was the pattern from the Rocky Mountains to the Apalachians-a repeat of Saturday's widespread rainstorms that dumped as much as 3.83 inches on Rantoul, in 12 hours. While 24-hour amounts generally were less, Oklahoma City got 1.29 inches, and Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, and Saulte Ste. Marie had more than in inch of moisture. In the Colorado drought area, Lamar got a refreshing 1.18. Sen.

"And the President is a Republican who has shown no inclination to appoint Democrats to federal judgeships," Clements said. He also stated that he would like to clear another issue "Judge Wehrman last year was Kenton County campaign chairman for the present governor in Frankfort." He said in the statement released at his Morganfield home that the only promise he had made was to work for Kentucky and Kentuckians.

Stassen confirmed Sunday that his protests were partly responsible for the drastic curtailment of the Armed Forces Day display of atomic jet bombers here a week ago. Stassen, President Eisenhower's disarmament chief, said he felt "this was not the time to rattle bombers by the hundreds, but it was good to show types and strength. "We should not overdo it," he said. The aerial show was cut from 216 B47 atomic bombers to 45. Protests against the mass flight had been made by private aircraft owners and pilots, who cited the hazards of a low level flyover at jet speeds, but Pentagon officials said privately that the pressure had come from such places as the White House and Stassen's office.

Stassen, in a filmed TV interview (Reporters' Roundup) said other factors in his protest were the big U. S. H-bomb tests in the Pacific and the presence of Indonesian President Sukarno in the capital. "So it was my judgment there should not be hundreds of bombers over Washington," he said.

In the first trial Logsdon denied knowing he was overdrawn, "except for some small amounts." Federal Judge Henry Brooks, in the earlier trial, instructed a jury 1 to consider only one question in the proceedings: "Whether or not the Alabama Kentucky Supply Co. was insolvent between Sept.

TORNADOES SEEN KANSAS CITY (-At least seven tornado funnels were reported in western Kansas as severe thunderstorms broke out over that area late Sunday.

off of its stalled World War II peace talks with Russia. "There is no third road," Matsumoto said. His statement was taken as further evidence of the dilemma on Soviet policy confronting Japan's Conservative government a situation some observers feel may result in Matsumoto replacing proAmerican Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu. So far the government, led by Shigemitsu, has insisted that the southern Kuriles-given to Russia by the Allies at the Yalta conference be returned to Japan or disposed of by an international conference.

Clements (D-Ky), chairman of the Senate's subcommittee on tobacco, said Sunday recent hear in have "clearly demonstrated" legislation may be needed to protect the consuming public from "junk smokes." Clements filed a brief report on completion of his view of testimony presented to the subcommittee in its investigation of the utilization of processed or reconstituted tobacco in the production of cigars and cigarettes. The chairman said the testimony "verified rumors circulated throughout the tobacco trade for many months that some tobacco products are now composed of ingredients, tobacco stems, adhesives and other foreign matter which has been carefully withheld from the consuming public." "The outstanding reputation of American cigarettes and their popularity throughout the world stands in danger from increased use of such ingredients," said Clements. "From the information already on file with the subcommittee it appears likely that legislation may be necessary to curb the spreading distribution of junk smokes for the protection of the consuming public and those manufacturers who have refused to be swayed from their formulas calling for the use of only the leafy portions of the tobacco plant.

"It is the intention of the subcommittee to complete its hearings at the earliest possible date in order that constructive legislation may be presented to the Congress and approved prior to adjournment." Duke's Friend Almost Has Mishap In Polo Contest LONDON (P- -The Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Elizabeth IIwho are trying to popularize polo -put a new loud speaker into operation Sunday. It worked splendidly-too splendidly, if anything. The scene was the polo field at nearby Windsor Great Park, which the duke and Queen improved during the winter. A record crowd of 15,000 turned out. An announcer described the play as the Queen, her children and the other spectators watched the duke and the other players charge up and down the field.

"The duke is now being ridden off," said the announcer then, as his Royal Highness and another player trotted near the microphone, these words boomed out over the speakers. Player "My breeches have split again." lucky. They split only at the knee." Even the Queen joined in the laughter. The duke's team lost again, for the fourth straight time.

West's Jet Pilots Thrill 500,000 At Air Show ZURICH, Switzerland (P) Jet pilots from the West their military craft through spine -chilling acrobatic performances before a half million spectators Sunday. The Russians sent up only one plane their sleek new TU104 jetliner. It was the windup of the two-day international air show which attracted 1 both East and West force experts. Judging from the applause, the Sky Blazers, the noted four -plane jet team of the 12th U. S.

Air Force in Europe, stole the show. Headed by Capt. Jim Reynolds, brother of onetime New York Yankee pitcher Allie Reynolds, the Sky Blazers put on a performance that drew cheers from the crowd. Their hair-raising low level flight, their zooming from near ground level to 4,000 feet, diving and then streaking away in four different directions left the crowd breathless. At 1 the climax the four U.

S. planes converged from four different directions onto the center of the field and passed each other only a few feet apart at split second precision. The Soviet TU104 flew at low level over the field. The Russians say it is not a military plane but U. S.

Air Force experts said it could be converted into a bomber at any time. Its maximum speed is slightly over 600 m.p.h., with cruising speed at 560 m.p.h. at an altitude of between 30,000 to 40,000 feet. National Baptist Head Addresses Kentucky State FRANKFORT, Ky. (P--Dr.

French Seal Off Casbah in Search ALGIERS, Algeria (P) French troops in full battle dress raided and sealed off the world famous Casbah of Algiers Sunday in a surprise search for rebel arms and equipment. The hillside Arab area ing narrow streets, crumbling houses and dark patios suddenly occupied by about 5,000 troops shortly after 2 a.m. Twelve hours later the area was still blockaded, with no one permitted to enter or leave. Inside, troops and 1,500 police aided by mine detecting devices hunted for arms and grenades. Two thousand Moslems were arrested for questioning and a "considerable quantity" of military equipment was found, plus propaganda leaflets, a duplicating machine, a radio transmitter and rebel insignia.

Throughout the day French army helicopters hovered overhead. With one exception, the raid apparently went off without trouble. Early in the raid a crowd of Arabs jostled a Negro soldier. The soldier fired on the crowd, killing one person. The Casbah is roughly an area of 600 by 500 yards within this city, occupied by thousands.

Dad Foresees Emancipation From Yard Chores THIS summer, thousands of healthy, sensible American homemakers are going to fall into a trap.

The trap opens when you innocently suggest the lawn needs mowing. It snaps shut when your husband places your dainty hands on the handle of the power lawn mower and says, "All you have to do is steer it." Unfortunately, if it's one of the power, mowers, that's about new, have to do. One of the largest manufacturers of mower engines (Power Products) has worked like a beaver to overcome valid feminine objections to power mowers (too dirty, too heavy, too noisy). Lightweight rotary mowers can now be started, idled and stopped by a single instrument panel knob on top of the engine. Engines weigh to less, so mowers are easier to handle.

Oil which they require is premixed with gasoline at the service station to eliminate the task of adding and drainmessy ing oil in the crankcase, Robert Lueloff, president of the corporation, says that with the new mowers men can now safely and confidently turn over the job! of mowing the lawn to the ladies. This is progress? As further encouragement, company research experts at the testing stations have compiled recommendations on when and how to mow a lawn and how to avoid repair bills and service calls for the mower. If you're determined the grass will be greener and neater on your side of the fence, here is the list: Dont shave the lawn. Grass uating class, "the will not take your word you are world, great.

Temperature Report BY KAY SHERWOOD NEA Staff Writer grass is about three inches high.

When you're all set to steer that mower, a good plan is to divide the lawn into sections of convenient size and to start mowing around the outer edges of each section in a direction which will throw the clippings inward on the next row to be mowed. In this way, clippings are chopped a second time, preventing the windrows of cut grass. Steep terraces should be mowed up-and-down the the the the the the the the the slopes. It's better not to mow the lawn when the grass and ground are very wet or when they are exposed to the heat of the midday sun. The experts point out that the lawn should be kept free of debris (stones, wire, rope or hard objects) which, if struck by the cutting blade, might damage the machine or be thrown out with considerable force.

This is easier said than done, in our experience when you have small children and sand boxes appropriating part of the lawn as a playground. It takes careful raking before mowing. All safety guards should be kept in place any time the mower is in operation. Train small children to stay away from it. Keep the mower free of grass clippings and spilled gasoline or oil.

The screen over the carburetor air intake filter is apt to become clogged with clippings; use an old whiskbroom or stiff brush to clean it. Standard two- or five-gallon safety cans with flexible pouring spouts are convenient to use when refueling. Should the machine fail to start, unscrew the filler cap and make sure there is fuel in the tank. Service men report that many mowers brought to them have nothing wrong except that they are out of gasoline.
