Macmillan Succeeds Eden As British Prime Minister
LONDON—(UP)Harold Macmillan was named Prime Minister to succeed Sir Anthony Eden today.
Thus, about 18 hours after Mr. Eden stepped down for reasons of health, the dapper son of an American mother was given the job of restoring Britain's prestige and economic stability after the Suez debacle.
Conservatives Against Butler Prime Minister Macmillan was picked over the other favorite contender for the job, R. A. (Rab) Butler, 53, majority leader of the House of Commons. Right wing conservatives had opposed Mr. Butler on grounds he was "soft" in dealing with Egypt over the Suez crisis.
Prime Minister Macmillan rode to Buckingham Palace at 8 a.m. to receive the mandate from the Queen. During the trip he showed his usual lack of formality—he sat up front with his chauffeur.
"The Queen received the Right Honorable Harold Maemillan, M.P., in audience and offered him the post of Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury.
A few moments before 8:30 a.m. the Palace announced briefly:
"Prime Minister Macmillan accepted Her Majesty's offer and kissed her hands upon his appointment."
Queen's Own Decision The decision to name a prime minister belongs to the Queen alone. But usually she picks a man who can muster a majority of the House of Commons.
Queen's Own Decision
In this case, with the Conservatives holding a 58-seat edge in the House, she chose Prime Minister Macmillan because he seemed able to rally fellow party members behind his policies.
The term of the present House of Commnos has three years to run. As long as Prime Minister Macmillan can continue to control it, he can serve as Prime Minister.
Egyptian Officials Hail Eden Action
CAIRO—(UP)—Egyptian officials hailed today British Prime Minister Anthony Eden's resignation but said the entire Conservative government should get out. Egyptian newspapers interpreted it as a victory for Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser and Egypt.
Other sources said Egypt would find it easier to re-establish normal relations with a Labor government since the British Labor party took a major role in opposing the Anglo-French invasion of the Suez.
Truman To Give Middle East Views
WASHINGTON — (UP)— Former President Harry S. Truman today offered to submit a statement of his views on President Eisenhower's Middle East arms resolution to the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Committee chairman Thomas S. Gordon (D-III.) promptly accepted the offer. Mr. Truman had been invited earlier to testify in person at the committee's hearing.
Kansan May Lose Party Leader Job
TOPEKA —(UP)— U.S. District Attorney William C. Farmer today studied federal Hatch Act provisions which may bar incoming Highway Director Lynn Brodrick from also holding his job as Democratic National Committeeman from Kansas.
The Hatch Act forbids public officials from participating in political activities. It also includes, in certain instances, persons in state government handling federal funds.
Committee Counts Ballots
TOPEKA—(UP)—A House special election investigation committee got to work today counting ballots in the deadlocked Hamilton County race. It bypassed all business in an abbreviated session before weekend adjournment.
Rhode Island ranks as the nation's smallest state in size, most densely populated and most heavily industrialized. It measures only 48 by 37 miles, yet includes a township of 49 square miles with a population scarcely over 700.
Ike Warns Of Inflation
WASHINGTON — (UP) — President Eisenhower today urged business and labor to go easy on price and wage increases.
Warning against dangers of infiation, he also proposed that Congress create a special commission to determine whether the present American financial system provides adequate credit for those who need it.
Those were two of the highlights of the report on the state of the union which the President delivered to a joint session of Congress.
"I urge leaders in business and labor to think well on their responsibility to the American people," he said. "With all elements of our society, they owe the nation a vigilant guard against the inflationary tendencies that are always at work in a dynamic economy operating at today's high levels."
Counterfeit Bills Passed In Area
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UP) — Secret Service agents warned today that counterfeit $10 Federal Reserve Notes have been passed in Kansas City, St. Joseph, and Columbia, Mo., they said.
The bills bear one of three serial numbers, G62308335B, G28131105B or G21201385B, and are drawn on the Chicago Federal Reserve bank. Each carries a face plate number, P196, and a back plate number, 1538.
All Kansas Highways Open
TOPEKA-(UP)—All major highways in Kansas were open to traffic today after a cold wave enveloped the state and produced the lowest temperatures of the winter season. The Highway Patrol said there were a "few slick spots in the northeast corner of the state," but no drifting and no major road problems.

Decision On Hall List Postponed
830 Mass.
TOPEKA — (UP) — State Sen Paul Wunsch said today "the Senate is agreed they are not going to consider any of former Gov. Fred Hall's appointments this week."
University Daily Kansan
The powerful Republican president pro tem of the Senate said "the Senate will consider each appointment on its individual merits. They will either accept or reject as they think on the qualities and abilities of the individual . . ."
Sen. Wunsch said Mr. Hall's controversial list would probably be submitted to a committee, more likely the Federal and State Committee, within "two or three weeks, maybe a month."
The controversial right to work issue also came up in the Kansas Legislature today.
Sen. Merl Lemert (R-Sedan) said a proposal for a right to work law would be introduced this session, probably in the House. Sen. Lemert was a backer of the measure passed in the 1955 session and vetoed by former Gov. Hall.
Docking Prepares Inaugural Address
TOPEKA — (UP) — Gov-elect George Docking said Wednesday he is still working on his 11-minute inaugural address, to be carried by a statewide network of radio and television stations next Monday noon.
The governor and other officials will be sworn in by Justice Jay S. Parker, who will become Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court. Eight bands will participate in inaugural events, which all will be open to the public. There will be a $5 charge to the inaugural ball Monday night.
Dynamite Shatters Churches In Latest Racial Outbreak
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—(UP)Dynamite blasts shattered four Negro churches and the homes of two ministers here early today in the worst outbreak of racial violence in the bus integration movement in the South.
Dmaage was heavy but no one was injured in the six separate explosions.
The series of pre-dawn blasts touched off a flurry of police activity and an FBI investigation. It brought a personal inspection of bombed buildings by Gov. James E. Folsom.
VIENNA — (UP) — Jewish agencies plan a $100 million emergency drive in the United States to aid Jewish refugees from Hungary, Egypt and North Africa, it was announced here today.
Gov. Folsom said the bombings were the "work of anarchists" and offered a $2,000 reward for information leading to conviction of the terrorists. He put state police "at the command of all local officials" in Alabama to combat racial terrorism.
Mayor W. A. Gayle promptly halted all city bus operations, which have been targets of sniper fire since segregation on buses was ended here by court order more than three weeks ago.
