Demo 'Hamstringing' Hit
Mason City, Iowa—(U.P.)—Two top Republicans, Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Senate Majority Leader William Knowland, have accused the Democrats of trying to hamstring the Eisenhower program.
France Orders No. 2 Red to Testify
Paris—U.P.) The military tribunal investigating espionage inside France's top military planning council today ordered the nation's No. 2 Communist, Jacques Duclos, to appear and testify immediately.
Mr. Nixon, climaxing a Midwest campaign swing here, said the Eisenhower administration was a success despite the "selfish political opposition of an anti-Eisenhower segment of the Democratic party."
The tribunal rejected Mr. Duclos' appeal for several days' delay in making his appearance.
making his appearance.
He was expected to be closely
questioned on what he knows about the source of leaks of national defense secrets from the top-level national defense council. He also was scheduled to be brought face-to-face with Communist informer Andre Baranes.

Menon Slates Policy Speech
United Nations, N.Y. —(U.P)— India's V. K. Krishna Menon, top spokesman of the United Nations' "neutralists", makes a major policy speech today which is expected to cover the field from atomic energy to the Southeast Asia Treaty organization.
Mr. Menon, with Israel's Abba S. Eban and Egypt's Dr. Mahmoud Azmia, constituted the final lineup in the General Assembly's policy debate, which has lasted since the ninth annual U.N. session convened Sept. 21.
With the end of the general debate, the assembly's committees were swinging into action. The special, or ad hoc, political committee, scheduled an organizational meeting today but was not expected to make much headway into its first item, the plight of Arab refugees from the Palestine war.
At the afternoon session the 60-nation group was scheduled to elect the three non-permanent members of the Security Council for this year.
Belgium was scheduled for election replacing Denmark, Iran to replace Lebanon and Peru to replace Colombia for two-year terms. In addition, the assembly must elect members of the economic and social and the trusteeship councils.
Another potential trouble spot for the U.N. lay in the meeting of the assembly's credentials committee, scheduled for this afternoon. Although there was no advance information, it was possible that the Communists might challenge the Kai-shek Nationalist representatives as the rightful spokesmen for China.
Reds Release Two Yanks
Pamunjun, Korea—U.P.)—T h e Communists today released an American Marine lieutenant colonel and an Army private who were captured by the Reds after the Korean armistice.
The Marine was a pilot who was captured when he landed on a North Korean airstrip last Feb. 5 after "losing his bearings," the Communists said. He was flying a L-19 liaison plane which also was returned today.
U. S. military officials withheld their names, apparently pending notification to their families that the men were alive and free.
The soldier stepped on a land mine May 25 near the Demilitarized zone and was picked up by Red troops.
Both men appeared to be in good physical condition when they walked to freedom in this historic truce village.
They were wearing the same style blue Communist uniforms that American war prisoners wore when they were freed by the Reds during operation "Big Switch" immediately after the armistice.
The soldier apparently had recovered from injuries suffered when he stepped on the land mine.
The Communists surprised United Nations officials earlier today at a meeting when they announced they would release the two men. The officer and private had been accused by the Reds of being spies.
The two men were flown from Pamunjom to 8th Army headquarters in Seoul shortly after they were released.
At Sioux Falls, S.D., Sen. Know.
The largest Signal installation in the Army is maintained at Camp Gordon Ga., known as the Signal Corps Training Center.
- At Sioux Falls, S.D., Sen. Knowl-
land attacked a "small group of
willful obstructionists" who filibustered against the President's atomic energy program in the last Congressional session.
The vice president charged that Democrats "appeared determined at any price to scuttle the administration's bold program."
"Had we lost the battle, had filibusters, trick maneuvers and malicious propaganda carried the day...we would have swung back toward socialism," he said. Both Mr. Nixon and Sen Knowland said Mr. Eisenhower must have a Republican majority in the 84th Congress.
The vice president's reasons included warnings of "regimentation" and "socialization" under the Democrats.
Sen. Knowland hammered away at the atomic energy issue, quoting unidentified senators as threatening to "bring Congress to its knees" by the power of filibuster.
The Eisenhower program was designed to "tie in" atomic energy with the free enterprise system, the Californian said, and was opposed to any monopoly in the field by either private firms or the government.
Sen. Knowland came to South Dakota to help out Sen. Kark Mundt's re-election campaign, while Mr Nixon boosted the senatorial candidacy of Rep. Thomas E. Martin, against Sen. Guy M. Gillette.
"I am confident Iowa is one seat we are going to win in the Senate." he said.
At Waterloo, Mr. Nixon told the National Dairy coagress that President Eisenhower has "had the wisdom to keep us out of war as well as get us out of war."
Later, he told a news conference that the administration is working on "soft spots" in the nation's farm economy.
"When the farmer realizes what the administration is trying to do and what the critics of the administration program are offering, they will realize the administration approach is the best one in the long run," he said.
Group to Check On Dixon-Yates
Washington — (U.P.) — Chairman William Langer (R-N.D.) promised today that his anti-monopoly subcommittee will get "all the facts" on the controversial Dixon-Yates power contract.
He made the statement as the group resumed its hearings on the contract. Members hoped to learn today what part Ebasco Services Inc., will play in the proposed power agreement.
The chairman asked J. D. Stietnorth, ousted secretary-treasurer of the Mississippi Power and Light co., to outline Ebasco's part in the Dixon-Yates arrangement. Ebasco recently participated in the construction of a steam plant at Joppa, Ill., to supply power for the Atomic Energy commission.
Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) declared yesterday that mounting costs gave the Joppa project the nickname "Ebasco's fiasco." He inquired whether Ebasco also is to build the proposed West Memphis, Ark., plant for Dixon-Yates.
Under the Dixon-Yates contract, still to be signed, the utility group will sell power from the West Memphis facility to the Atomic Energy commission using the Tennessee Valley Authority's system for indirect delivery. Kefauver late yesterday renewed charges that one of the Dixon-Yates companies is "milking" its operating subsidiaries.
Kefauver, a member of the subcommittee, called it "outrageous" that the government is doing business with such companies. He aimed the remarks at Middle South Utilities Inc., which is also the oarent company for Mississippi Power and Light co.
Tension Relaxes—
Back to School' Movement May Halt Racial Outbreaks
Washington—(U.P.)—School officials in Washington and Baltimore expected a "back to school" movement today which they hope will mark the end of demonstrations against the end of segregation in classrooms.
Although police in both cities' stood by, school authorities were hopeful that the demonstrations and absenteeism that began Monday in Washington and last week in Baltimore had about run their course.
Students at Washington's Anacostia high school, where picketing first broke out Monday, scheduled a mass meeting this morning to "air their grievances" with Principal Eugene D. Griffith At McKinley high school, Principal Charles Bish called a meeting of the students to produce a co-racial student committee set up to receive grievances.
"Tension has relaxed," Mr. Schwatka said, "you can tell by the fact that the students are laughing in the halls and in general by their whole attitude which has changed."
In the nation's capital, student leaders sparked a movement to get "striking" students back to classes. About 2,000 were out yesterday Baltimore authorities reported a relaxing of tensions and a more normal atmosphere.

He said he had obtained "very good results" by neighborhood
