Ike Requests $4 Billion in Foreign Aid
Washington — (UPI) — President Eisenhower asked Congress today for $4,175,000,000 in foreign aid to bolster the free world's military and economic stand against Communist threats which he said continue despite Soviet peace talk.
The Chief Executive's request — 949,000,000 more than Congress approved last year — included a proposal for stepped-up assistance to India and Pakistan as part of an effort to help America's friends live in economic "decency" as well as in peace.
Eisenhower told congress in a special message that his mutual security proposals — about half of which would be for military assistance to non-Communist nations — reflects needs which "we cannot afford to ignore."
"The fact, if it is a fact, of reductions in Soviet military manpower, does not alter the need for the maintenance of our collective defense." Eisenhower said.
Eisenhower said that even though Soviet Premier Nikita S. Kruschev had promised a reduction in Russia's armed manpower the Communist leader's own statements make clear "Soviet military power . . . remains great."
"While its recent deportment and pronouncements suggest the possible opening of a somewhat less strained period in our relationship," the President said, "the menace of Communist imperialism nevertheless still remains."
He said that while Soviet military power "continues to grow" there also is an "increasingly important" growth in the military and economic power of Communist China.
He said the United States is "giving close and careful attention" to a program of increased aid for the Chinese Nationalist government on Formosa.

Larceny Case To ASC Group
KU students convicted of petty larceny in the Lawrence police court Saturday will be brought before the disciplinary committee, but no date for their appearance has been set.
Laurence C. Woodruff, Dean of Students said today that disciplinary action against the three would not depend on the outcome of their appeal to the district court.
William Fricke, a senior and KU's head cheerleader, and Lynn Stacey, freshman, both of Jefferson City, Mo., and Sam Mankin, Enid, Okla., freshman, admitted the theft of an automobile battery from the Lewis dormitory parking lot.
They pleaded guilty to the petty larceny charge and were released on bond after being sentenced to ten days in jail.

The appeal will be taken up on the Mav docket of the district court.
"Bob Sarnoff, Chairman of the National Broadcasting Company, and I met in Florida today with Jack Paar. On behalf of his large and loyal audience we asked Jack to return to the Jack Paar show. Jack agreed to come back on Monday, March 7, after a three week vacation. Bob Sarnoff and I are delighted."
The NBC announcement, from Kintner, said:
The agreement was reached at a Florida conference today between Paar and NBC's two top executives, President Robert E. Kintner and Board Chairman Robert Sarnoff.
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Jack Paar has agreed to return to his late night television show on Monday, March 7, the National Broadcasting Company announced today.
Paar walked off his program in front of viewers across the country last Thursday night in a tearful protest at the manner in which NBC had censored a questionable joke from his previous night's program.
Nikita in Burma
RANGOON, Burma —(UPI)— Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev arrived today for a two-day good will visit. The reception given him by a crowd of 2,000 was not overly enthusiastic.
For the following hour and 20 minutes, his guests bitterly castigated the network and defended Paar's action.
Paar had announced from his Bronxville, N. Y., home that he'd never go back.
The show went on last night without Paar, and also without censorship.
Democrats Block Civil Rights Bill
Russians Hint They Might Accept Nuclear Test Plan
The U. S. plan excluded small underground blasts from the ban because U. S. scientists said these could not be detected by available scientific inspection methods.
Sen. Wayne L. Morse (D-Ore) almost immediately introduced resolutions to discharge the Judiciary and Senate Rules Committees from jurisdiction unless they act on civil rights proposals by Feb. 25.

WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Southern Democrats today blocked another Republican move to force the Senate Judiciary Committee to act on long-stalled civil rights legislation.
Western sources indicated that for this reason the west would reject any move by Russia to complete Eisenhower's limited ban with an indefinite moratorium on all nuclear blasting.
These sources said an indefinite moratorium would allow Russia to legalize a virtual total ban without the west having the ability to check Soviet compliance.
Smith Knocks House Inquiry
They also ruled out a moratorium for a fixed period. The sources said it would only postpone new testing if research failed to develop detection improvements during the fixed moratorium.
WASHINGTON —(UPI)— The House Subcommittee on Elections held an open hearing today on a Kansas Democrat's challenge of the election of Rep. Wint Smith (R-Kan).
The subcommittee on elections, headed by Rep. Robert T. Ashmore (D-SC), called Smith and Elmo Mahoney, Dorrance, Kan., give oral testimony. Earlier the two submitted written reports on the 1958 elections in the Kansas sixth district.
He said last December he had been told the subcommittee was "operating on the thinnest evidence they ever had in an election contest.
Smith has called the inquiry "just something for the Democrats to make a little noise about."
Smith defeated Mahoney by 233 votes.
"Nothing will come of this," he added.
Smith has represented this district since 1947.
Mahoney promptly challenged the count, charging many voting irregularities. He asked for a congressional probe of the election and submitted defavids containing testimony he said supported his claim.
County clerks in four counties in the district burned the election ballots. They said they merely complied with state law which requires burning of ballots in the absence of a contest. They said they had never notified of any contest.
The twin actions came as the Senate plunged into the second day of an all-out civil rights battle with opposing sides jockeying for position.
GENEVA — (UPI) — Russian sources hinted the Soviet delegation would make an important announcement at today's session of the U. S., British and Russian talks on banning atomic bomb tests.
Sens, Paul H. Douglas (D-Ill) and Jacob K. Javits (R-NY) announced meanwhile that they would introduce a new comprehensive bill embracing most of the proposals sponsored by 15 liberals last year plus several new features to insure voting rights, crack down on "hate bombings," and make lynching a federal crime.
Prospects for pushing a bill through both the Senate and House were disclosed at President Eisenhower's meeting with his congressional lieutenants.
Senate GOP Leader Everett M. Dirksen (Ill.) said that despite "a lot of speeches" the issue would be forced to a final vote in the Senate. House Republican leader Charles A. Halleck (Ind) reported a civil rights bill soon will be passed there with "almost unanimous" support of Republicans.
Statements by Chief Soviet delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin and a high communist source in London indicated Russia might accept President Eisenhower's limited ban plan if the West agreed to an indefinite moratorium on all nuclear testing.
The Soviet delegates foreshadowed some important move by canceling yesterday's conference session, the first time Russia postponed a meeting since the deadlocked talks began 16 months ago.
Eisenhower's proposal last week would ban all nuclear tests except small underground blasts. Russia rejected the idea and repeated its demand for a ban on all types of test-
Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-NY) made the unsuccessful move to blast the administration's sevenpoint bill out of the judiciary committee. But he was blocked by Sen. Olin D. Johnston (D-SC) who noted that the Senate had just convened and the committee could not sit legally while the Senate was in session.
Keating, who had conceded defeat in advance, said he now will seek Senate action on a mild two-part bill which a judiciary sub-committee approved last year.

DREAM HAND—Beth Habiger, Republic senior, smiles happily during a bridge game—and no wonder. Her partner's hand looks like a grand slam. The bridge group was practicing for the SUA bridge tournament at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas Union.
Bridge Team Awaits Tilt
You may have to practice hours for a debate or basketball tournament, but there is no way to practice for a bridge tournament.
This is the conclusion a group of KU students reached as they discussed the SUA bridge tournament which will begin at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas Union Parlors.
"All you can do is play bridge together a lot so you'll know your partner's style," said Herb Cooper, Kansas City, Kan., senior.
"And of course good bidding is the key to it all," added his bridge partner, Beth Habiger, Republic senior.
The group was practicing for the tournament.
"We should be ready because all we do is play bridge," laughed Sue Corliss, Spring Hill junior. "KU should offer a five-hour bridge course—I'd ace it with no trouble."
The group agreed that a "nottrump" hand was the most challenging bridge hand to play.
"Naturally, a good system of signals helps," joked Carolyn Elliott, Overland Park junior. "You know, rolling your eyes, scratching your ear or kicking your partner's shin."
