Gov.Hall's1957 Budget Faces Stern Opposition
OPEKA—(U.P.)—Legislators subjected Gov. Fred Hall's discred it. budget recommendations for fiscal 1957 to the scrutiny of com- mittee study today.
The lawmakers, members of the first budget session in state history, were expected to seek a way to avoid raising taxes in a year of declining farm income.
Opposition to the chief executive's call for increased taxes was expected to be fierce but the ominous threat of a $9.6 million deficit otherwise forecast strengthened the possibility of a compromise.
The chief executive incurred the wrath of Democrats and Republicans alike yesterday when he called for a 50 per cent hike in the state income tax in his budget message.
Onposed By Many
Opposed Democrats in the House of Representatives emerged from a caucus session with the decision to form a solid phalanx against any new taxes during the session.
Republicans reacted sharply and critically to the governor's request for a record $263 million to run the government during the next fiscal year.
Sen. Paul Wunsch (R-Kingman), the Senate's kingpin Republican and an arch foe of Hall, said he was "shocked and amazed" at the message. He said it called for expenditures of $30,133,000 more than last year.
Rep. Howard Bentley (R-Kinsley) called the message "double-talk" full of "sleight of hand money tricks."
Sen. Joseph McDowell (D-Kansas City) said the message solved no problems and "moved the financial crisis up to 1957."
Gov. Is Confident
Amid the shouting, the 29-year-old governor remained serene.
"Several (legislators) came into my office and said they liked the message," Gov. Hall declared. He said he was pleased with the reaction his budget message received in the legislature.
He said he thought the taxes he proposed were equitable and would bring in the needed money.
"My prediction is the legislature will not pare my budget," he asserted, "but if the legislature picks something else to tax that is up to it."
Still to contend with, however, was opposition in his own party's ranks and the threatening force of the Democrats—30 strong—in the House of Representatives. The balance of power they wielded in the 1955 regular session was recalled by Democratic leaders.
"... We should give each piece of legislation a rigid inspection to see if it meets the test of need," John Adams, minority floor leader from Osborne, told the caucus.
Frank Theis, state Democratic chairman, told the legislative Democrats they had a "great opportunity" to show Kansans that Republicans had been entrenched in the statehouse too long.

5 Feared Slain In Ecuador
QUITO, Ecuador—(U.P.)-A U. S. Air Force helicopter whirls off into the "green hell" jungles of eastern Ecuador today to determine the fate of three American Protest missionaries feared slain by bloodthirsty Indians.
The Copter, flown in Wednesday from the Panama Canal Zone, will take off from Shell Mera, an oil camp which is the civilized outpost nearest the point where the missionaries' wrecked plane was sighted Monday.
Searchers in an Albatross rescue amphibian sighted the bodies of two of five missing missionaries near the wreckage Wednesday. The dead were identified tentatively as T. Edward McCully, Wauwatosa, Wis. and Roger Yoderin, Billings, Mont.
No trace has been found of Nathaniel Saint, Fullerton, Calif, Peter Fleming, Seattle, Wash., and James Elliott, Portland, Ore., who flew into Aucu Indian country with Mr. McCully and Mr. Youndarin Sunday.
No one could tell immediately what turned the Indians against the missionaries, but the Aucas are known to have hair-trigger tempers that require only the slightest provocation to set them into a bestial rage.
Services Set For Ex-KU Coach

Dulles Lauds Ike In Avoiding War
Secretary Dulles yesterday was quoted as saying the United States "walked to the brink" of war three times in the last three years and that action by the administration headed off a worldwide conflict.
The disclosure triggered a heated discussion between several reporters and Mr. Dulles at the secretary's press conference. The reporters wanted to know whether the statements attributed to Mr. Dulles in a Life magazine article were correct

Nixon's Manager Sues Magazine
LOS ANGELES (U.R.)—Vice President Richard Nixon's 1952 national campaign manager accused a national magazine in a $1,250,000 libel suit today with calling him Mr. Nixon's secret link with the underworld.
Mr. Chotini charged that he was referred to as Mr. Nixon's underworld link in an article published in the March issue of the magazine. He said it was "but one of a series of attacks that are being launched by those who seek to discredit the vice president for political purposes.
The former campaign manager, Murray M. Chotiner, filed the suit in Superior Court yesterday against Behind the Scene Magazine, naming most of the magazine's officers and about two dozen John Does as defendants.
HOLLAND, Mich, (U.P.)—City Councilman John Van Ederen, who recently voted for the purchase of a radar speed control device, was one of the first persons caught by the unit after it was installed.

questions that came about later, Mr. Dulles, after making two answers refused to answer any more questions. He later learned that the article in question was not to be released until 6 p.m. yesterday.
The Life article, quoted Mr. Dulles as saying in an interview that the United States was on the verge of war on the questions of: Enlarging the Korean war, entering the war in Indo-China, and the question of Formosa and the offshore islands of Quemoy and Matsu.
The secretary is reported as saying in the interview that the United States had two aircraft carriers with atomic weapons in the South China Sea during the Indo-China crisis.
Never Doubted Ike
Also, the article quotes Mr. Dulles as saying that he never doubted that President Eisenhower would have regarded an attack on the off-shore islands of Quemoy and Matsu as an attack on Formosa itself.
The article said that on June 18, 1953, Mr. Dulles was informed by telephone that President Syngman Rhee had freed thousands of Communist war prisoners in South Korea. The story said Mr. Dulles realized this might broaden the Korean war and he used a private phone to awaken President Eisenhower.
The story said he told Mr. Eisenhower of President Rhee's action and the implications, and that the secretary found Mr. Eisenhower calm and ready.
A decision was made that if the Communists walked out of the negotiations, the United States would renew the war in Korea and would extend it to air bombardment of Manchuria and to the use of tactical atomic weapons.
The President, Mr. Dulles is quoted, "never flinched" in any of these situations.
