Dulles, 7 Other Ike Men Face Senate Inquiry
Washington—(U.P.)-John Foster Dulles and seven other top appointees of the Eisenhower administration faced Senate questioning today on their finances, affiliations, and fitness for high public office
Most Republicans were certain to vote for confirmation of the appointments, and there was no immediate sign that Democrats planned to oppose President-elect Eisenhower's choices for his official family.
Ezra Taft Benson of Utah, agriculture secretary-designate, was called to testify in public session before the Agriculture committee.
Mr. Dulles, prospective secretary of state, was called to testify at a public session of the Senate Foreign Relations committee.
Charles E. Wilson, defense secretary-designate, was to meet with the Armed Services committee behind closed doors at the same time.
The Eisenhower committee called incoming interior secretary, Douglas McKay of Oregon, behind closed doors.
The Eisenhower appointments actually are being considered informally because the President-elect cannot officially submit their names to the Senate for confirmation until he is inaugurated next Tuesday. The rush action is being taken at Mr. Eisenhower's request. He wants his cabinet sworn in on inauguration day and the Senate will vote on them then.
There were advance reports that Mr. Dulles would be questioned about testimony recently given to a house committee that he first suggested Alger Hiss, convicted perjurer, as president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Mr. Dulles was a trustee of the endowment at the time Mr. Hiss was hired.
However, Senators H. Alexander Smith (R-N. J.) and Hubert M. Humphrey (D-Minn.), both Foreign Relations committee members, thought the questioning would center more on Mr. Dulles "general background" and approach to world affairs.
After hearing Mr. Wilson, the Armed Services committee planned to question Roger M. Kyes, named as deputy defense secretary, and the three prospective secretaries of the armed services, Robert Ten Broeack Stevens, Army; Robert B. Anderson, Navy, and Harold E. Talbott, Air Force.
Topeka —(U)P— Gov. Edward F. Arn's call for strict spending control brought favorable comment today from most Kansas legislators. But some were of the opinion it may be impossible to hold down taxes.
Legislators Like Arn Tax Control
In his biennial message to the 55th Kansas legislature yesterday, the governor declared:
"I am confident we can and should go forward without the enactment of any new taxes and that we should approach with caution all proposals which would have the effect of increasing taxes already in existence."
Two legislative comments were:
h A haiti=ai
Rep. Benjamin O. Weaver (R-Kiowa county): "I think the governor's speech was a very sane and practical outline of a good program. This is the most complete and best analysis we have had of progress and recommendations for a long time. I am pretty strong for state aid to weak high schools. I have hoped that we could get a system capable of taking care of the high school district that has a valuation too low to guarantee the students a first class high school."
"I would favorably consider adding
these schools where necessary to help
those schools."
Sen. C, L. Huxman (D.-Haskell county); "I think the governor's reference to holding the line against taxes is excellent. I want to see it held also, but I've served in three sessions and I've never seen the line held yet." Sen. Huxman favors a levy for state charity institutions authorized by a vote of the people last November.
Redding, Calif. — (U.P.)— Approximately 30 families prepared to evacuate their homes today as swollen Northern California streams pouring into Shasta dam forced Bureau of Reclamation officials to release water from the project.

A small dance pavilion and reception park were also inundated and the city golf course was threatened with flooding.
The homes are located in a nearly developed suburban residential district. Five houses were evacuated yesterday and the other home owners were preparing to move.
At noon yesterday, the Bureau of Reclamation officials released water at the rate of 40,000 cubic feet per second and it was expected that the rate would be up to 80,000 cubic feet before the operation ends.
Professor Addresses St. Louis Meeting

The symposium was sponsored by Alpha Epsilon Delta, national premedical honor society in cooperation with the AAAS' Medicine, Social Sciences, and Education sections. The general theme of the meeting was "The Social Sciences and Humanities in Medical Education."

Influenza Stops Pharmacy Institute
The University Pharmacy institute set for Jan. 18-20 has been cancelled because of the influenza epidemic throughout Kansas, E. A. McFarland, institute coordinator, said today.
The project of the Kansas Pharmaceutical association has been cancelled indefinitely because of the difficulty of re-assembling the guest instructors.
Mr. McFarland said, "The epidemic is placing heavy responsibility on the state's pharmacists. A check on the inventory of these many, would be unable to attend."

History Museum Publishes Book
The Museum of Natural History announced today the publication of a book giving information on the application of public health measures, the protection of farm crops, and the increase of fur bearing animals.
The book is "A Synopsis of the North American Microline Rodents." The authors are Dr. E. Raymond Hall, director of the museum, and Dr. E. Lendell Cookrum, formerly of the University staff and now assistant professorf of zoology at the University of Arizona.
Dr. Hall said that the project was allotted to the University because its specialists, library facilities, and reference collections were particularly suited for a study of this type.
In the 128-page booklet maps are given showing the geographic distribution of each species. There are 194 illustrations.
Because of the health and economic importance of the microtine rodents, the study was financed jointly by contract with the U.S. Office of Naval research and the Universitys appropriated research fund.
Just One of the Jones Boys
Schlater, Miss. —(U.P.)—The telephone company employee seeking the home of P. C. Jones where he was to install a phone was directed from one side of a lake to the other and back again. He finally discovered there were two men of that name residing on opposite sides of the lake.
a minor operation, the men have taken over the planning of meals, ordering of groceries, and other duties that "Mother Nellis" has regularly done in her 12 years at the hall.
Many of the men were dreading the moment when Miss Nellis would leave. She played an important role in the everyday operations of the share the work-share the cost hall, whether it be directing the student cooks, bargaining with grocers over the telephone, prodding the student living room cleaners to dust a certain piece of furniture, or chiding the house proctor for his forgetfulness.
A substitute, Mrs. C. P. Aul of Lawrence, who has taken over for Miss Nellis, says she is "amazed" over the way the boys have taken over. She admits that the hardworking Miss Nellis is a difficult person to replace, but says she is enjoying every moment of the experience.
"Oh," she said, "we have had a few slipups, and we'll have a few more, but all in all we're pitching in and getting the job done."
(Note to "Doctor" Nellis, now recuperating in the Vail hospital: Your 52 "patients" are doing fine.)
