U.S. Wants Iron-Clad Disarmament Promise
Washington—(U.P.)—President States is ready to go as far as once iron-clad guarantees are acting on good faith.
Pending such guarantees, the President made clear at his news conference that he does not favor recent proposals from abroad to ban H-bomb tests. He said he sees little need to take what he called little bits of items and deal with them separately in the field of disarmament.
The President discussed a wide range of foreign affairs problems including:
He he acknowledged that past history did not give the United States any reason to hold tremendous optimism on disarmament prospects.
But once the United States could have faith in disarmament guarantees, the President said, it would put everything in the pot and go just as far as anybody else.
Formosa—The United States is on record as seeking by every possible means to arrange a cease-fire with justice in the Formosa region. He said he had discussed the whole problem with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles before Mr. Dulles left for the Bangkok conference. Mr. Dulles planned clearly and definitely he added, to discuss the Formosa crisis at Bangkok with British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. The President would not comment on the possible outcome of these talks or disclose whether any new plans are underway.
Democrats in support of this tax-cutting plan, quoted from the President's budget message to Congress last month.
Mr. Elsenhower still held out the hope of tax savings in 1956 through increased savings in operation of the government and a continued rise in the state of the economy. But he said that any tax reduction next year should be arrived at only after careful, analytic planning.
In a majority report to the House, the Ways & Means committee pointed out that the President in that message expressed a "hope" of tax cuts next year, and that he said such cuts should be spread "fairly among all taxpayers in a way which will be the most effective to relieve individual tax burdens and to increase incentive for effort and investment." The Ways & Means committee approved the tax cut plan Monday.
He stuck by his 1952 prediction that it would be possible to balance the budget in four years through careful practices by government.

Alaska Blizzard Strands Topekar
By UNITED PRESS
A baby blizzard and an icy cold wave swept across the frost-bitten Rocky Mountain and Great Plains states today, and a far more savage blizzard had marooned two paramedics—one a Topekan—on an Alaska mountain.
Stranded by the storm, a stone's throw from the bodies of 11 Navy airmen, were Sgt. F. R. Sackrider of Topeka and Airman 1-C R. L. Josephson of Grants Pass, Ore. They had parachuted onto the steep slope of Mt. Susitna Saturday to reach the wreckage of a crashed Navy Neptune.
No word had been heard from the two for 24 hours early today and it was assumed they had burrowed into snow drifts. The Air Force was pressing rescue attempts, but a spokesman feared they might have to spend a week more on the peak.
But it was still bad news for ranchers and farmers who had just finished digging out of mountainous drifts.
The new blizzard in the mountain and plains states was not expected to reach the fury of the week end storm that followed the same path and grew into the worst storm since 1949.
Kansas City Star To Fight Decision
Kansas City, Mo.—(U.P.)-The Kansas City Star planned today to file an immediate motion for a new trial in an attempt to upset a Federal Court decision that the newspaper monopolized the dissemination of news and advertising here.
A jury yesterday found the Star and its advertising director, Emil A. Sees, had violated the Sherman Anti-Trust laws. The verdict, reached after four hours and 22 minutes of deliberation, climaxed five weeks of testimony.
Star President Roy A. Roberts, in announcing plans to appeal, said "the Star will never be a willing party to selling its readers down the river to the tune of millions a year" because of the "ultimate goal of the anti-trust division to break down the Star's circulation plan of 13 papers a week—morning, evening and Sunday—for one subscription price.
The jury ruled against the newspaper on two counts of monopolization and attempt to monopolize the dissemination of advertising and news, and Mr. Sees with attempting to monopolize. It found him innocent of a second count.
The newspaper defended its combination advertising and circulation rates as being the cheapest in the country and providing 24-hour daily service to advertisers and subscribers.
The convictions, e aach a misdemeanor, could carry a $5,000 fine on each count and for Mr. Sees, a possible one-year iall term.
Federal District Judge Richard M. Duncan gave the defense five days to file an appeal and the Star's legal staff said it would be done "immediately."
"We will appeal the case to the higher court in complete confidence of the outcome." Mr. Roberts said. "We feel the court made grievous error in the admission and non-admission of testimony and in its instructions to the jury in this complicated and technical case."
Combo to Play For Union Dance
Buildings and Grounds Prepares for Tuesday

Preparations for the opening of the new Allen fieldhouse Tuesday is number one on the agenda for the buildings and grounds department, according to C. G. Bayles, superintendent.
The department has installed all services and is currently engaged in constructing a rock service road for use of trucks the night of the game, and in building a concrete over the dirt surface inside the fieldhouse. Also on the program is the erection of floodlights around the exterior of the building.
Biggest job faced by the department will be the handling of traffic the night of the game. Under the supervision of police chief Joe Skillman the campus police force and thirty extra men from the building and grounds department and Sunflower Ordnance plant will handle traffic and parking in the immediate vicinity of the fieldhouse. The Lawrence police force will handle the intersections approaching the fieldhouse and the sheriff's department and a 12-man contingent
The public is urged to walk to the game or ride the bus in view of the extremely wet weather in the past few weeks. "Parking facilities in the vicinity of the fieldhouse will be very limited," Chief Skillman said. "The opening of the fieldhouse was rushed this year to enable the public to get an early look at it and the parking lots are not ready for the handling of heavy traffic in bad, damp weather."
Chief Skillman also said that use of the intramural fields for parking will not be allowed. Anyone parking on these fields will be prosecuted. Parking will be permitted on all of the University lots on the campus proper and along the University drives.

"The source of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico has been cut off." he said, "and no blizzard conditions will develop. Snow accompanying the storm moving down from the northwest will be rather light." The mass of cold air shifting southeastward has slowed and it will be tomorrow morning before it passes through Kansas, Mr. Garrett said.
